  • Resonancias Fílmicas. El sonido en el cine estructural (1960-1981)

    Explorar los intersticios estéticos e ideológicos de la dimensión sonora en el cine experimental es el motivo principal de esta investigación. En estas páginas se estudia el sonido desde una posición analítica que enfatiza la idiosincrasia de los procesos de creación acústicos de los cineastas, las rupturas sónicas que formulan sus películas y los desafíos auditivos que suscitan a la audiencia.

    (nostalgia) (Hollis Frampton, 1971)

    After Bruce Bailie, the Film Museum pays respect to another key figure of the New American Cinema revolution – this time one from the East rather than the West Coast: Hollis Frampton (1936-1984). After his formative "year of apprenticeship" spent with poet Ezra Pound (1957/1958), Ohio-born Frampton moved to New York in order to establish himself as a painter. He moved from photography to 16mm film and was soon celebrated as a visionary of Structural Film.

    On the Eve of the Future. Selected Writings on Film

    The celebrated critic and film scholar Annette Michelson saw the avant-garde filmmakers of the 1950s and 1960s as radically redefining and extending the Modernist tradition of painting and sculpture, and in essays that were as engaging as they were influential and as lucid as they were learned, she set out to demonstrate the importance of the underappreciated medium of film. On the Eve of the Future collects more than thirty years’ worth of those essays, focusing on her most relevant engagements with avant-garde production in experimental cinema, particularly with

  • Out of Sight, Out of Mind

    By on
    Wolkenschatten (Anja Dornieden & Juan David González Monroy, 2014)

    Inspired by a new video from visually impaired artist Lorne Marin (his first moving-image work in over 30 years), this program envisions the act of film/video-making as an attempt to trace that which can no longer be seen. These artists explore the image’s transformation as it passes from the immediacy of seeing to the cages of memory, manipulating materials in ways that directly or indirectly evoke an array of perceptual aberrations. From common chemical reactions to encroaching blindness, these interferences remind us of the lamentable fragility of our sight. But they also reinforce the mind’s ability to capture fleeting visions that, though long lost, may never be forgotten.
