  • Nightingale Cinema: Erin Espelie's The Lanthanide Series

    By on

    The Nightingale welcomes Erin Espelie to present her experimental documentary about rare earth elements (the lanthanides), black mirrors (from obsidian to iPads), and how technology is reshaping the way we record the present and replay the past.

    From the portals of personal computing devices to ancient obsidian mirrors, optical tools control how people see, foresee, record, and remember their lives. The Lanthanide Series meditates on how we frame and understand the world through such material means and instruments, with a reliance on certain chemical elements and the people who we love.

    Dates: 

    Thursday, September 22, 2016 - 19:00 to Friday, September 23, 2016 - 18:55

    Venue: 

    The Nightingale - Chicago, Estados Unidos

  • No Place Like Home: The Films of Karen Yasinsky

    By on

    Edge of Frame presents a programme of animated films by Karen Yasinsky.

    Karen Yasinsky is a Baltimore-based artist working primarily with animation and drawing. Moving from painting into animation in the late 1990s, her early films feature stop-motion puppets inhabiting strange, drifting zones of reverie, hovering on the verge of something unsettling and unknowable. As her films develop into exquisite drawn animation and more sophisticated stop-motion, they increasingly refer to scenes or moments from certain canonical films, such as The Wizard of Oz, Bresson’s Au Hazard Balthazar and Jean Vigo’s L’Atalante.

    Dates: 

    Sunday, October 9, 2016 - 20:00 to Monday, October 10, 2016 - 19:55

    Venue:

  • 18th Paris Festival for Different and Experimental Cinemas

    By on

    The 18th edition of the Paris Festival for Different and Experimental Cinemas presents six competitive programs and a series of peripheral events around the theme "Humor & Facéties".The surrealists used to find their daily inspiration in cinema, although not in the serious productions, but more in burlesque films or in extravagant serials. This explains the strong presence of the extraordinary and rip-roaring dimensions in avant-garde films. Many experimental filmmakers after them kept and nourished this taste for humour. For this year's edition, we invite our audience to discover this domain -the less austere of the vast world of creation- through different focus events.

    Dates: 

    Tuesday, October 4, 2016 (All day) to Sunday, October 16, 2016 (All day)

  • Mike Hoolboom: Incident Reports

    By on
    Incident Reports (Mike Hoolboom, 2016)

    Filmmaker Mike Hoolboom in person!

    Filmforum is honored to welcome Toronto-based artist, writer, curator, poet, thinker, and filmmaker Mike Hoolboom for the Los Angeles premiere of his brand new feature, Incident Reports.  (Hoolboom will also be showing a selection of short works at REDCAT on Monday, 9/19.)

    Mike Hoolboom has forged a singular artistic and curatorial identity over the past few decades, as his various creative, intellectual, pedagogical, and research practices have overlapped and interwoven, along with the circumstances and experiences of his own life.  As a result, encountering Hoolboom's work – whether through his films, his criticism, his curating, his teaching, etc. -- is something akin to experiencing a rich, intricate, and irreducible slice of Hoolboom himself.

    Dates: 

    Sunday, September 18, 2016 - 19:30

    Venue: 

    Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian - Los Angeles, Estados Unidos
