  • Xcèntric: Noise and soundscape in structural film

    By on
    Bondi (Paul Winkler, 1979)

    Sound in cinema is a key element to understanding the authors' artistic conception. This is a session specially designed to learn a bit more about the different roles of the soundtrack in the structural film.

    The filmmakers who practise the technical and aesthetic considerations of structural film work with sound from disruptive stances. Graphic manipulations on the optical soundtrack of the celluloid and alterations to ambient sound offer acoustic dialogues about noise and soundscape.

  • The Festival of (In)appropriation #8

    By on

    Los Angeles Filmforum presents The Festival of (In)appropriation #8

    Curators Jaimie Baron and Greg Cohen in person!

    Whether you call it collage, compilation, found footage, détournement, or recycled cinema, the incorporation of already existing media into new artworks is a practice that generates novel juxtapositions and new meanings and ideas, often in ways entirely unrelated to the intentions of the original makers. Such new works are, in other words, “inappropriate.” This act of (in)appropriation may even produce revelations about the relationship between past and present, here and there, intention and subversion, artist and critic, not to mention the "producer" and "consumer" of visual culture itself. Fortunately for our purposes, the past decade has witnessed the emergence of a wealth of new audiovisual elements available for appropriation into new works. In addition to official state and commercial archives, resources like vernacular collections, home movie repositories, and digital archives now also provide fascinating material to repurpose in ways that lend it new meaning and resonance.

This activity advertised with the explicit title of Experimental analogue film projections is part of the activities organized on the occasion of the sixty years of the Goethe Institut in Barcelona. Klara Ravat presents a selection of works on film (super 8 and 16 mm) ranging from collage of abstract forms to impressionism with a feminist background, passing through both visual and olfactory perceptual games. Anja Dornieden and Juan David Gonzalez Monroy, from OJOBOCA will offer a set of films that are born from filmic experimentation, implemented by hand during the filming and developing processes, to propose a session entitled Horrorism for beginners, beginners for horrorism, revealing participatory psychological concerns.

Molero, Pablo Marín and Aura Satz, among others. Four 'guest programmes' complement the avant-garde section, featuring a series of animated non-fiction shorts curated by Elena Duque ('The missing image'); a programme curated by Albert Alcoz & Alberto Cabrera Bernal, filmmakers and editors of the Angular DVD label, who will also present its first release; a session dedicated to veteran filmmaker Adolpho Arrietta; and a series of works on the poems of Galician poet Xosé María Díaz Castro titled 'Proxecto Nimbos'.

  • From found footage to lyrical film

    By on

    Microscope Gallery is very pleased to welcome Spanish filmmaker Albert Alcoz to the gallery for the first time in person for a solo screening of his new and recent film works including manipulated found footage works and original Super 8mm. Alcoz’s appropriations – a B-movie Sci-Fi feature, home movies, a series of soda ads, and a classic World War II documentary – have been transformed in format and material, with several involving chemical dissolutions to distort the original photographic textures. The artist’s original Super 8 films (all shot in camera, some in color and others in b&w) offer silent impressions and accelerations of the cities and natural environments around him.

    Artist in person (visiting from Barcelona, Spain). Admission $6
