altriformati presents Complot film
"Anyway, the notion that anyone would conspire with a halfwit like Oswald to actually assassinate a sitting president is ludicrous on the face of it. They didnt expect that he would even hit Kennedy. That was just a fluke".
Let’s try to suggest a few threads – without resolving anything – through five short films.
Not to shed light on the assassination of JFK, but to ask whether a plot can also be traced in experimental cinema.
On the programme:
William E. Jones, Bay of Pigs
Bruce Conner, REPORT, MARILYN TIMES FIVE
Paolo Gioli, Filmarilyn, Children
Opening act by percussionist Giacomo Salis.
During the evening: presentation of “Monastero dei folli”, a magazine featuring texts, thoughts and images collected and curated by altriformati. No. 0 | Complot film.
Film prints courtesy of Light Cone and the Austrian Film Museum. Copy of Bay of Pigs courtesy of the David Kordansky Gallery.
Admission with altriformati membership card
24 May, from 8 pm
at Pase Platform
Cannaregio 3561, Venice (Italy)
