Scratch Projection: ARCHIPELAGIC VISIONS: SWEDISH EXPERIMENTAL FILM 1954-1991

By Light Cone on Fri, 30/01/2026 - 05:45

Guest program by Martin Grennberger, independent curator

When attempting to remap some early milieus of experimental film culture in Sweden, one cannot help but notice their scattered nature. The 1950s saw the beginning of co-op initiatives with the establishment of Svensk Experiment Film Studio in 1950 (today, Filmform); artists and painters, transfixed by its polysemic kinetic and temporal nature, turned to filmmaking; and a steady group of cinephiles was incipient in the burgeoning film clubs.

In the Warm Room

This program brings together films that explore sensuality, the body and romantic love, and their expression through the haptic medium of 16mm film. With a note of nostalgia, this screening aims to depict the ineffable and mythic possibilities of desire, sex and a sensuous relationship with the natural world.

Programmed by Anna Higgins.

After celebrating the co-ops founded in New York, Hamburg, and Amsterdam, as well as the 50th anniversary of the Paris Films Coop, the winter season will open with a focus on the West Coast of the United States.

Screenings will be held at Sweet Void Cinema in Chicago. These films showcase a wide range of styles and ideas regarding the notion of a “dance film” and “road movie,” finding ways to complicate and expand their meaning. The intent is to further encourage contemplation of these works through their juxtapositions.

Technology and the Making of Experimental Film Culture
The Bolex camera, 16mm reversal film stocks, commercial film laboratories, and low-budget optical printers were the small-gauge media technologies that provided the infrastructure for experimental filmmaking at the height of its cultural impact. Technology and the Making of Experimental Film Culture examines how the avant-garde embraced these material resources and invested them with meanings and values adjacent to those of semiprofessional film culture.
