A programme of works which use the material of film itself as a canvas. These visceral, vibrant films feature camera-less techniques such as scratching, painting and printing onto the filmstrip, subjecting film to decay and decomposition, and affixing materials such as letraset or insects to its surface. The remarkable visions created through these diverse approaches fill the frame with dynamic textures and colour, and many will be presented on 16mm and 35mm prints. Seen in the cinema, these works achieve a powerful effect, immersing us in strange and previously unseen worlds, and displaying the breadth and scope of abstract film.

WORM.Filmwerkplaats brings to Filmhuis Cavia the Berlin based artists Deborah S. Phillips and Klara Ravat. Both work with a variety of media, but their common ground is 16mm filmmaking. The Scent of Colour encompasses recent and early works - 16mm films and expanded cinema performances. Phillips’ research descends deeply into the essence of the colours red, blue and green, explored through their chemical, linguistic and musical properties, while Ravat’s work focusses on the sense of smell as research, creating media and odour artworks combined with analogue filmmaking.

Cinéma Fragile (Katia Viscogliosi & Francis Magnenot) creates experimental and poetic films. They find the images that they didn’t shoot for the purpose of a specific film fascinating, because you can look at them for what they "really" are, not for what they were done for. That's why they love to work with found footage, internet archive, etc. Nouveau Noum was entirely made this way. It’s a poetic retrospective of the lunatic and unbelievable Sovietic nuclear activity in the Arctic zone in the 80's.
