Spectacle Theater is thrilled to present THE NEW COSMOS: A collection of six short film works by Takashi Makino, one of Japan’s most prolific and adventurous experimental filmmakers. Operating in a similar structuralist mode as Ernie Gehr and Paul Sharits, Makino’s films incorporate layers upon layers upon layers of sound, image, and light to create densely-textured, hypnotic works that can only be described as— to draw from the title of a 2015 work of his— “space noise”.
Mara Mattuschka is one of the most important artists working in experimental cinema today. Bulgarian-born and currently based in Austria, Mattuschka is a multi-hyphenate—actress, painter, professor, performance artist, producer—whose work highlights the mutability of women's bodies and their power to reshape gendered norms and expectations. Mattuschka often functions as the only protagonist in her films, allowing her body to work as a canvas, an object and subject that is painted, extended, trimmed, deformed with special effects, and more.
A solo screening of video works by artist Cecelia Condit. Condit will be in attendance and available for a Q&A after the screening. The event will also take place online with a live introduction and Q&A.
The program includes eight videos made by Condit between 1981 through 2021, from her first “Beneath the Skin” originally shot on 3/4” U-matic tape, to her latest digital video piece “AI and I.”
This is the second in a series of monthly screenings comprising a complete retrospective of the work of Dominic Angerame. Since 1968 Angerame has produced more than 30 films on 16mm and several newer works in digital format. Some of these films have never had a public screening. Many of Angerame’s films show San Francisco, the city he has lived and worked in since 1979, and its varying cityscape as it looks and changes over time. He has also created short comedies, short-form documentaries and many diary films.
