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.

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.

In 2025, Refle-x-périmental continues to pay tribute to the work of experimental film cooperatives that emerged from the 1960s onwards, embracing independence, rebellion, and the (re)invention of both avant-garde cinema and thought. 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.

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.

SCREENING LAV #09

By LAV on Mon, 28/03/2022 - 14:32

"By insisting on giving shape to the images, it would be necessary to start from the relationship between them and time. Without it there is no insistence possible. Repetition and search need time from which to expand.
[...] then, the life of the images would not consist so much in simple immobility or in the successive recovery of movement, but rather in a pause charged with tensions between the two. "

Zin Ex. From Abstraction to Algorithm

By Marcos Ortega on Sat, 12/09/2020 - 05:49

Looking back over a history of one hundred years, experimental cinema has rigorously challenged cinematic conventions. To reach beyond telling stories, artists and filmmakers examined the material conditions of their medium, such as light, motion, celluloid and, with the advent of television and video, electronic signals. This relationship with the technical device—whether a camera or a computer—revolutionized the creative process and opened ever new possibilities for critically reflecting the world we live in.
