    "You don't bring me flowers"
    by Michael Robinson
    16mm film, colour, with optical sound, 8', 2005

    Since the beginning of this millennium, Michael Robinson has been making film and video as trigger-objects for basic emotions. His work is a compilation of complex riddles, trails leading to ambiguous regions, places meant for the hard task of feeling. His narratives are deeply sensorial, warranting themselves difficult to translate into words.
    Oporto is now presenting the film "You don't bring me flowers", a sublime diving experience into a succession of nostalgic images, centerfold pages from vintage National Geographic magazines.

  • Blind Spot Skopje

    By on

    Blind Spot SkopjeFrom 29th of March to 2nd of April 2011
    at Cultural Center creACTive (former Cultural Center CK)
    in Skopje, Macedonia

    In the realm of visuality, the concept of the blind spot defines the space of the non-visible. In the process of observing the city, certain views dissolve, thereby revealing elements of construction in both urban space and human perception. As a temporal platform in Skopje, Macedonia, Blind Spot Skopje presents cinematic and discursive positions of self- and outside perception regarding urban space and its blank spots. The exhibition, theoretical discourses, and a film project, that explores urban spaces in Skopje, condense into a map with known and unknown coordinates interfering with each other and being re-arranged by various artistic strategies.

    A project by Marte Kiessling, Stephanie Sarah Lauke, Vanessa Nica Mueller and Wiebke Stadler.

  • Directors Lounge: Seppo Renvall. Times, Songs and Material

    Woody (Seppo Renvall, 2003)Directors Lounge: Seppo Renvall. Times, Songs and Material
    Thursday March 24th, 21h
    Z Bar
    Bergstraße 2, Berlin-Mitte, Berlin, Germany

    "High mental quality, feeling quality and situation quality. But not technical qualities, there are no sharp images, there was no tripod used or anything, everything is kind of shaky. I like that very much.“ (Seppo Renvall about FILM19999)
    "A few more words must be said about the emergence of the everyday (in Seppo Renvall's films). For Renvall has taken up a very particular kind of challenge here, one that has motivated filmmakers at least since the 1920's, the challenge of transmuting the banality of the quotidian world into epiphany. … Now in a new century, Seppo Renvall is one of those contemporary artists who lead the way toward a new documentary horizon." (Michael Renov, 2002)

    The Hole Picture: An Intergenerational Dialogue on Erotics and Porn in Lesbian-Feminist Queer CinemaThe Hole Picture: An Intergenerational Dialogue on Erotics and Porn in Lesbian-Feminist Queer Cinema
    A screening and talk featuring Barbara Hammer, A.K. Burns and A.L. Steiner
    Saturday March 26th, screening 15h, panel 17:30h
    Issue Project Room, At the Old American Can Factory
    232 3rd Street, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn, NY

    The feminist reception and production of pornography has had a complicated trajectory, a discourse of representation often bound by the logic of the male gaze. The Hole Picture brings together a selection of socio-sexual films & videos by artists Barbara Hammer, A.K. Burns and A.L. Steiner that celebrate desire and redefine notions of queer sexuality and the lesbian body. Presenting a multigenerational overview of representation, this screening and panel discussion will focus on contemporary artistic practices which incorporate avant-garde visions of sexuality and erotics, dissecting the trope of pornography itself. Screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers, moderated by art historian Kelly Dennis, author of Art/Porn: A History of Seeing and Touching.
