BETWEEN US - INTIMACY AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY CHRISTIAN FLEMM Friday, June 27, 2025, at 8:00 PM at Espace En Cours, 56 rue de la Réunion, Paris 20th arrondissement Buzenval, Avron, A. Dumas metro station
Christian Flemm is invited to Espace en Cours to present his first and latest 16mm films alongside film works intertwined with his practice as a teacher and film restorer.
As part of this year’s 2025 edition (May 23–25, Berlin), Fracto will be hosting a hands-on workshop on 16mm film and analog experimental practices. Participants will learn to make motion pictures and looping sound with a very economical tool: simple adhesive tape! Unfolding over the course of three mornings, students - armed with film leader, simple adhesive tape and a bucket of water - will learn to “paste” printed matter onto 16mm film frames, each ultimately producing a short loop (approximately ten seconds in length).
