    A three day residency at Cafe Oto, 20th - 22nd January 2011

    Through live performance, screenings and workshops, this three day residency explores the unique sonic and visual world of a group of young South Korean artists and noise makers appearing in the UK for the first time. Within the tiny experimental underground of Seoul, this tight - knit collective has developed a sound, style, and approach to creativity outside the influences of their Japanese and European kin, conjuring a distinct vocabulary that reflects the collective spirit of a new South Korean avant-garde.

    Sunday, January 16th, 22:30h
    Oporto, Salvador Correia de Sá, 42, 2 frente, 1200-399 Lisboa

    "Dog Track" by Phill Niblock
    16mm film transfered to video, color, sound,8.5', 1969

    If there is still someone with a nonconformist and experimental spirit in New York, that person is Phill Niblock. Since the sixties that the artist explores the power of sound and images to generate new frontiers and limits of perception.  Despite being a reference in the field of music, it was the film that led him to take the first steps in time-based-arts. Phill Niblock began by making structural experiments, short dance and sound films in collaboration with artists as diverse as Yvonne Rainer, Sun Ra and Max Neuhaus. After this period, Niblock starts to investigate the film medium itself by focusing on the inflow of movement in its various expressions. Working with a wide range of simple images, travel and ethnographic captures, landscapes or just abstract compositions, Niblock overlaps successive layers of sound, creating an open field, impervious to any definition.

    Oporto presents "Dog Track ", a film that juxtaposes an inhuman sound, devoid of emotion, coming from a psychoanalytic interview, to images and landscapes of non-verbal beauty. "Dog Track" roughly exposes us, to an hypnotic report, a sad and monochordic chant produced by an impossible relationship.

    Sally GoldingThe Experimenta Film Society presents Otherfilm
    Wednesday 12th January, 18:30h
    Jagaa Creative Common Ground
    Rhenius Street, Off Richmond Road, Opposite the Hockey Association Stadium main gate, Shanthinagar, Bangalore

    The Experimenta Film Society (EFS) kick starts 2011 with a film performance by performance artist Sally Golding of Otherfilm, Australia, who has been on a residency with EFS in Bangalore. Sally Golding works on the cusp of performance, moving image art and visual hallucination. She will be performing for the first time in India, and will use 16mm film projectors, harnessing the opt...ical sound printed onto the film in an abstract and experimental multi-performance event for sound and vision. Sally will be accompanied by musicians Andreas Otto (fello) and ISRO (electronics).

    During her residency with EFS, Sally conducted workshops on handmade film and contact printing for film students at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology. We take great pleasure in premiering the visually stunning films made through these workshops at this event.

    SALLY GOLDING | BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA | OtherFilm, Abject Leader
    Sally Golding ‘s work exists within the framework of expanded cinema. Sally combines film-making with installation and performance. Golding deconstructs cinematic materials and apparatus, slipping between materialist investigation, sculptural forms, and bodily intervention. Cracked cinema for darkroom compositions, light bleed, contorted projection sports, dismembered narrative, whimsical instructional and wanton optics. Sally co-directs OtherFilm, a Brisbane based audiovisual and music festival dedicated to screening programs, performance events, exhibitions, workshops, articles, research, discussions and arguments.

  • Directors Lounge: Relations and Abstractions

    Directors Lounge - Max HattlerDirectors Lounge: Relations and Abstractions
    Animation Films by Max Hattler
    Saturday, January 8th, 21h
    Z Bar
    Bergstraße 2, Berlin-Mitte, Berlin

    Max Hattler surprises his audience with the gripping force of his abstracted images, combined with sounds he often composes for his own films. The German media artist and animator lives in London and has made a real leap into the media art and festival scene since he graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2005. A programme of his films was already presented at Directors Lounge 2010, and we are happy to present his new programme this month, prior to our festival in February.

    In Germany, animation is not being considered as a proper art field, and similar to graphic arts it is often seen as “angewandte Kunst” i.e. craftsmanship or applied arts, mostly feeding the film industry. The field of animation can be quite broad, from animations from pencil drawings, paper-cut-outs, stop-motion, 3D animation, Flash animation and live generated computer graphics. Max Hattler seems to embrace them all, and his work could be seen as happy eclecticism, as post-modern art practice. In Aanaatt (2008) he is using stop-motion animation, Drift (2007) is a combination of close-up photography of skin combined with compositing and Flash animation, Heaven and Hell (2010) are computer generated graphic animation loops, Everything Turns (2004) has been drawn directly into the computer, and Ladyscraper: Cheese Burgers (2011) looks like it was made with live VJ tools.

    Looking closer into Max’s work, however, we realize that his art is in no way about eclecticism or appropriation. The artist does make his mark with genuine image composition, and even if his use of different media tools is astonishingly varied, there is something common in most of his films, a kind of surplus, or plenitude that can be almost overwhelming. Animation, this tedious and time-consuming technique (also true in the digital age) usually leads to reduction (unless it is made by big teams and studios such as Pixar) often resulting in a kind of artistic beauty of scarcity. Not with Max Hattler, though! Even if animation techniques lead him to quite abstracted forms, they are not abstract. And the reduced, abstracted forms become symbols again, which often multiply, break apart in smaller image units, still animated, and again accumulate, congregate to larger units, to super-structures. Amazingly, this often happens with a chuckle, a political twist or black humour.

    We are very much looking forward to this film night with Max Hattler, who will be available for Q&A after the show.
