  • Colección Privada: The Super-8 And 16mm Scene In Spain

    By on
    Many Eyes, Many Centers, Moving (Maria Pipla, 2022)

    In the last fifteen years, Spanish cities have seen the flourishing of heterogeneous communities devoted to maintaining analog film culture. Through material exchange, mutual influence, informal screenings, and friendship, three generations of filmmakers intermingle in Madrid, Barcelona, Coruña, and San Sebastian in an extraordinary moment for Spanish poetic cinema. These programs survey the output of 24 filmmakers who continue to work in 16mm and Super-8, cultivating a cinema in tension with the quotidian in a drive to capture or conjure experience.

  • Notes after Long Silence. On Austrian and American Structural Film

    By on

    In the early 1960ies, a number of filmmakers emerged in the United States and Europe to produce remarkable films that challenged any previous formal tendency in avant-garde filmmaking. The Structuralist filmmakers— including Peter Kubelka, Tony Conrad, Paul Sharits, and Kurt Kren––arranged their shots according to mathematical principles, attempting to produce non-narrative and non-illusionist films to oppose the cinematic apparatus.

  • Cinédoc's cineclub: Refle-x-périmental #2 - Traits/Portraits

    By on

    The second program of Refle-x-périmental is dedicated to cine-portraits. It proposes an exploration of gestures of cinematographic (self)representation based on multiple intersections of the gaze.

    From self-portraits (Snow, Unglee) to family (Schefer, Satake), familiar (Mekas, Baillie), or even domestic (Rey) portraits, along with political portraits (Glowczewska, Schefer), these films question the relationship between the filmmakers and their subjects.

  • Xcèntric: Sensorial intelligence When women filmmakers took the optical printer

    By on
    Place Mattes (Barbara Hammer, 1987)

    The optical printer, a device consisting of one or more projectors mechanically linked to a camera for copying film or creating special effects, is historically associated with industrial cinema. In experimental cinema, a series of women filmmakers appropriated this traditionally masculine tool to explore its relationship with the body, imagination and memory. This session includes an introductory talk on the use and history of the optical printer in experimental cinema by the researcher Julia Cortegana.

  • From Milltown to Metropolis: Vancouver Experimental Film

    By on
    Narrows Inlet (David Rimmer, 1980)

    Experimental filmmaking played a significant part in Vancouver’s art scene of the 1970s. It was an important moment in the history of visual culture and film art in BC, marked by outrageous innovation, unbridled experimentation, and outright subversion. This movement flourished for many years, and was dialled into an international discourse, thanks to a visionary and colourful collection of artists, curators, and institutions. —Richard Martin
