CINEMA PARENTHÈSE #26 and  iMAL, Center for digital cultures and technology presentsGRIDS AND OTHER CONSTRAINTS: 16MM FILMS BY NICKY HAMLYN

NICKY HAMLYN is a British filmmaker, artist and published author working in Structural film. He has been making films for three decades. His work explores the basic elements of the filmic experience: the relationship between film space and the film frame, between time, flicker and movement, and between light and the material image.

A collaboration between Bozar and Cinema Parenthèse, this series of four events focuses on pioneering and prominent Japanese filmmakers and artists whose work has rarely, if at all, been shown in Belgium before. The programmes seek to present a wide range of audacious filmic practices with bold formal experimentation married to lyrical styles in works that lie on the margins of visual culture  during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

Cinema Parenthèse and Dagvorm are very pleased to present Colours & Collaborations by Deborah S. Phillips (Germany) together with Tobias Schmücking (Germany) at the new venue Dagvorm in Brussels! Phillips has been working on celluloid since the early nineties. Her work includes a diversity of visual disciplines and media including collage, film slides, 35mm and 16mm film, drawing, handmade books, etc.

Cinema Parenthèse is happy to bring Claes Söderquist in Brussels again. "Le génie civil" (1969), "Landskap" (1985-87) and "Briefe aus dem Schweigen" (1989) will be shown in the presence of the artist.
