What We Shared: Film Screening + Q&A

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 31/05/2022 - 09:35

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the gaining of independence by its former republics were accompanied by a number of territorial disputes, military conflicts and collective traumas. 30 years later, the historical reality of these events has only become more complex. How can one talk about them today?

Los Angeles Filmforum presents Juan Sebastián Bollaín: A Most Wanted Idea of Utopia, Program 1 & 2 and Live Virtual Q&A

By Alex G on Tue, 31/05/2022 - 05:33

Self-taught filmmaker and architect, Juan Sebastián Bollaín has been making films since the 1960s, mixing his two study disciplines along the years in a series of films that reinvent the urbanism of the most traditional and religious city in Spain: Sevilla, Andalusia, the heart of the Spanish clichés, Holy Week and flamenco. At the end of the 1970s, using super 8 and various tricks and montage strategies, he made a series of imaginative visions of the city, delirious utopias full of humor, surrealist and poignant images, and lucid ideas that shake the core of the conceptions about the city.

attaque(e)r le visible - corporal interventions: Margaret Raspé

By Attaque(e)r le ... on Sun, 29/05/2022 - 07:20

Taking a cup in your hand, emptying it, holding it under water scrubbing, rinsing, putting it on the draining board, over and over again – all actions that usually happen unconsciously and automatically. Who has ever actually dedicated time to thinking about the task of washing up? Margaret Raspé is fascinated by day-to-day tasks, and devotes most of her films to them. The special aspect about her work is the camera perspective, which is provided by her “camera helmet”. Positioned on her head, the camera follows her movements and, in doing so, records the act of washing up.

Dana Duff: Short Films and Digital Works

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 25/05/2022 - 09:27

Dana Berman Duff has long been a vital force in Los Angeles’ media arts. Astonishing in her versatility, Duff moves fluidly between Super-8mm and 16mm film, video, multi-channel installation, photography, drawing and sculpture. Regardless of the medium, Duff’s work is infused with her subtle wit, tactile delight and deeply reflective conceptual structure. Tonight’s program includes selections from the Catalogue Series, in which fantasy tableaux and objects from the pages of a designer furniture knock-off catalogue are reworked into contemplations on the control and selling of desire. Duff’s art is in collections of The Museum of Modern Art and New Museum of Contemporary Art, and her films have shown in the Toronto, Rotterdam, Edinburgh and other international film festivals.
