  • Cinema Parenthèse #9: Land/Scapes 3 - Werner Nekes

    By on

    In the 1960s, WERNER NEKES (1944-2017) began making films and experimenting with different film stocks to scale the possibilities of the medium. Free from narrative and psychological aspects, the films are organized according to temporal units and structural systems as they focus on aspects of representation. In a direct dialogue to pre-cinematographic optical techniques – with different ways to create illusion of movement - Nekes referred to his films as ”light theater”.

    By on

    "Film will only become an art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper." (Jean Cocteau)

    Films-examples of the former statement of Cocteau. Films -not necessarily low budget, but films that don't accept the film production's example of the film industry, the academic forms, and the relative institutes, that want a film an expensive production field of many specialists and professionals. In this program you can watch films that have been produced with the free use and overuse of a mix made by personal expression, material, human beings and ideas.

  • Margaret Tait: 'The Cinema I care about is at the level of poetry'

    By on

    These words come from Scottish artist and filmmaker Margaret Tait (1918–1999), who would have turned 100 on November 11th. With 11 short films on 11.11 and her only feature on 17.11, we are honoring her uniquely poetic work. The unique thing about Tait’s films is their interest in the unspectacular: “Her images are accessible (a thistle is inevitably a thistle), they are of the everyday and, on this level, a representation of things as they are.
