  • Esker Film Society presents Early Gehr

    By on

    On Friday 2 October, Esker Film Society will be showing four early films by the legendary and elusive Ernie Gehr. The films of Gehr are mesmerizing in their simplicity. He often employs one or two formal conceits and holds on them for a period of time, conveying abstraction through duration of repetition. Showings of Gehr's work are incredibly rare, so please don’t miss this opportunity. Many thanks to the Austrian Filmmuseum for making this happen.

    Friday, October 2, 2026 - 20:30

    Venue: 

    Achtergracht - Zwolle, Netherlands

    Time, structure, patterns. These are some of the principles that guide the 9th edition of (S8) Mostra Internacional de Cinema Periférico that, under the title Lux Algebra, invoke the alchemical film elements that manipulate time and its structures, in order to define a program that complete the trilogy dedicated to film creation the Mostra has been developing in these past editions, from the light with The New Impressionists (2016) to the material that supports the images with Objects and Appearances (2017), on the concepts of appropriation of found footage.
