MuMaBox: Films in color

By Marcos Ortega on Fri, 27/02/2026 - 03:40

A program in the form of a light spectrum, where each film is dominated by a color.

Announced in the title (Black-White-Gray, Blue, Gold), or its subject matter (A Light Wind in the Foliage), a metaphor for light energy (Loretta), the result of natural mixtures (Landscape Anomalies), laboratory manipulations (Drift), or the use of expired film stock (Tree Again), color asserts itself in the image, even reaching monochrome.

Program:

László Moholy-Nagy

1930, b&w, silent, 5' 30
Dates:
Wednesday, March 4, 2026 - 18:00

Digital Alchemy – Retrospective of Jacques Perconte

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 04/10/2023 - 06:29

Dubbed as a contemporary alchemist who “bewitches pixels”, French visual artist Jacques Perconte has been disrupting video and digital signals since his student years at the University of Bordeaux in the 1990s when he discovered the world of net art. Fascinated by possibilities of the digital medium and informed by the history of experimental filmmaking, DIY and hacker culture, Perconte has been developing for the last 20 years a unique aesthetic and ethical approach to digital filmmaking, with an aim to reveal the hidden landscape beneath the surface of the digital image.

Nomadica - Weekend with the Dead

By Anonymous on Fri, 19/10/2018 - 09:49

NOMADICA presents: WEEKEND WITH THE DEAD

A weekend-long, non-stop marathon on the occasion of the “Day of the Dead”; meetings and clashes, screenings and reactions, sounds and visions: dozens of international films’ and Italian premieres, a distillation of the most interesting contemporary experimentations.
Also: seminars, focuses, Space itineraries – in various shapes and formats, from night 'till day and from day 'till night. Spazio Menomale, dug towards the centre of the earth, turns into an art gallery and a perpetual theater where you can sink, a perception room in which there is no time to find, filled with routes and crossroads that become – as always in Nomadica’s experience – the artwork itself, unique, displaced and displacing, irregular and not (always) screened-off. Underground chaos where “the everlasting shape of life” resides.

Dates:
Thursday, November 1, 2018 - 00:00 to Sunday, November 4, 2018 - 22:55
Venue:
Spazio Menomale - Bologna, Italy
MuMaBoX #56: Intelligence of the Signal

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 16/05/2017 - 09:34

Meeting with Bidhan Jacobs

The signal is the very essence of sound and the digital image: of the material information invisible to the naked eye, codified and circulating through the filmic technologies of the age of the Net. Its access, of capital importance, is in protected mode (Friedrich Kittler).

Dates:
Wednesday, May 17, 2017 - 18:00 to Thursday, May 18, 2017 - 17:55
Venue:
Musée d'art moderne André Malraux - Le Havre, France

Close-Up Cinema: Signal Noise

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 07/03/2017 - 15:41

Karel Doing presents a programme of films that explore the borders of the "readable image", fluctuating between havoc and absence. Patterns emerge out of disorder, and meaning is found in vacuum. The cinema screen provides a universe on its own, letting the viewer travel through space and time while visiting the outer borders of cognition.

7th (S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico: New Impressionists

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 23/05/2016 - 09:41

(S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico celebrates its seventh edition in A Coruña from June 1 to 5. This time the festival will hold a special edition under the tilte of "New Impressionists", bringing together both emergent and veteran filmmakers whose work engages the experimentation with light and its pictorial qualities. Probing the limits of sensory perception and subjectivity, this group of filmmakers has signed some of the most visually stimulating works made in recent years. This is the case of Canadian filmmaker Stephen Broomer that will present a fine selection of his 16mm works. Films in which the colors and textures evoke the work of the original Impressionists, and in which the author uses fast sweeps, collisions and movements that challenge the eye, and make imagine the filmmaker operating the camera as if you ran a box light with the ways of action painting.

Dates:
Wednesday, June 1, 2016 (All day) to Sunday, June 5, 2016 (All day)
