  • JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU Laneya Billingsley, aka Billie Ocean

    By on

     In her immersive video installation, Just to Be Close to You, artist Laneya Billingsley, aka Billie Ocean, employs the virtual space of the video screen as a field of pure fantasy and feeling, where she wrestles with personal and inherited social conflicts, taking a deep dive down the rabbit hole of the mind, conjuring complex feelings, and communing with imagos of her ancestors.  She surrounds her audience with fantastical figures, sensuously bathing them in colored light, while playfully exploring the possibilities in embodied self-r

  • Los Angeles Filmforum, GYOPO, and LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division) Present The Margins of Dream Language: Contemporary Korean Female Experimental Filmmakers

    By on

    When image and language are paired together, written and spoken words can reposition the image’s hierarchical role and create an opportunity for a new point of view.

    By on

While many found footage films and artists associated with the practice are relatively well known, less is known about the nature and provenance of the images that are found and repurposed.

  • Xcèntric: Fever Dreams

    By on

    The five women filmmakers in this session see cinema as a total medium for awakening the senses. In this programme, life and domestic rituals or gestation periods gradually give way to the exploration of sensuality and sexuality, the unconscious and desire, or delirium and trance. Here, sensory experiences lead to the most ecstatic fantasies.
