'''Daniel Landin BSC''', is a British [[cinematographer]].
Landin started working with Super 8 and VHS video in 1978, collaborating with the industrial music group [[Throbbing Gristle]], documenting live performances and art events. In 1979, he formed the experimental militant classicist group
As the performances became more ambitious, visual imagery became intrinsic to the events, and working on Super 8 and 16mm, Landin created films which were projected during performances. Confrontational events were staged at which synchronised films which were simultaneously projected onto multiple screens to accompany challenging and provocative live music, culminating in ‘The Occupied Europe Tour’, a collaboration between [[Last Few Days]] and [[Yugoslavia]]’s [[Laibach (band)|Laibach]] in 1983. (11 countries in Eastern and Western Europe). This experience of working extensively in the Socialist Bloc, and the study of Hungarian Language subsequently led to a commission co-writing The Rough Guide to Eastern Europe, ([[Routledg]]e and Keegan Paul 1985) which was the first guide for the independent traveler in what was then a relatively unknown and misunderstood region.
