  • Malcolm Le Grice: "Principles of Cinematography" and "Horror Film 1"

    By on

    British moving image pioneer Malcolm Le Grice revisits two of his early performative works for the launch of Dreamlands: Expanded. In the rarely seen “Principles of Cinematography” (1973) Le Grice reads from Leslie J. Wheeler’s 1953 book of the same name to the accompaniment of projection of clear 16mm film leader. Le Grice also performs his iconic “Horror Film 1” for triple 16mm projection, employing his own body in a shadow play with the superimposed streams of colored light. First performed in 1971, the work was described at the time by Jonas Mekas as “one of his most simple, most classical, and also most ecstatic pieces”.

  • Visual Sunday: Gaëlle Rouard's handmade experimental films on 16mm

    By on

    French filmmaker Gaëlle Rouard is an alchemist specialised in the film editing process: she develops different methods on how to chemically process film into a completely new artwork. At the same time she experiments with new possibilities in live multi-projection. Her films are barred from solid structures: they all have a dark and mysterious atmosphere. Visualisation of nature and human beings are reoccurring themes in her work.
