  • Maya Deren: Choreographed for Camera

    Drama and myth frame the life and death of Maya Deren. Born in Kiev in 1917, at the start of the Russian Revolution, she died forty-four years later in New York City. In her brief life, she established herself as a pioneering experimental filmmaker, prolific writer, accomplished photographer, and crusader for a personal and poetic cinema. With its dreamy circular narrative and enigmatic imagery, her first film, Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), has inspired generations of artists, filmmakers, and poets.

  • New Utopia, Light Fracture by Luther Price

    Luther Price came to Visual Studies Workshop as a visiting artist in 2017 to give a week-long workshop on hand-made film. Though the workshop ended tumultuously, Price maintained a sporadic and sometimes fraught correspondence with VSW Press editor Tate Shaw. The project was temporarily tabled, and Price died in 2020 at the age of 58.

  • L’Histoire d’une Histoire du Cinema

    Paris, 1976: the Centre Pompidou had not yet opened its doors, yet it was already asserting its ambition to include in its programming artistic practices that had until then remained invisible in museums. It is at this moment of prefiguration that the exhibition A History of Cinema is being organised. What kind of history is this? In the course of the sessions, an alternative narrative to the dominant cinematographic canons took shape, on the fringes of the industry and auteur cinema.

  • Ruins and Resilience - The Longevity of Experimental Film

    Karel Doing is an experimental filmmaker and researcher who has worked across the globe with fellow artists and filmmakers, creating a body of work that is difficult to pinpoint with a simple catchphrase. In Ruins and Resilience he weaves autobiographical elements and critical reviews together with his wide ranging interdisciplinary approach, reflecting on his own practice by positioning key works within the context of a vibrant experimental film scene in Europe, North and South America, and Asia.

  • Secret Passages - Notes on experimental animation

    Norman McLaren said that “animation is not the art of drawings that move, but the art of movements that are drawn. "What happens between each frame is much more important than what is in each frame." What would we see, then, if we could stop the time between frame and frame? How are these invisible interstices manipulated, this other dimension parallel to the images?

  • Double Vision: The Cinema of Robert Beavers

    Double Vision is a beautifully written work of biography and criticism that tells the inside story of Robert Beavers (b. 1949), a major American avant-garde filmmaker. Until now, Beavers's dramatic life of itinerancy and resistance to commercial circulation has obscured his recognition as one of today's most significant living filmmakers.
