Xcèntric: Experimental Cinema - Structures, Systems and Strategies

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 10/06/2026 - 10:23

Artist and writer Simon Payne presents his new book in a special session that includes the screening of some of the films discussed, which explore structures, systems and strategies related to the interaction between light and darkness, musical composition, performance, abstraction, frame sequencing and animation. Like the book, the programme represents a dynamic, varied field that has defined some of the main concerns addressed by British artists' film and video from the late 1960s to the present.

Xcèntric: Jayne Parker. Stationary music

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 02/03/2023 - 06:30

In an attempt to discover the equivalent of music in the cinema, British filmmaker Jayne Parker has produced a series of works that are not so much documentaries as visual studies based on a piece of music and the gestures of the performers who play it on screen. We’ll see some of them in this session.

The 14th edition of AVANT focus on bodies and boundaries. The body is both our most private territory and a social interface, a boundary that both divides and unites.

Light Movement 10: Jayne Parker

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 28/12/2015 - 15:13

"Jayne Parker's films, videos, photographs and installations reveal a central core of concerns that are explored in many ways. Her hallmark is the focussed gaze of the camera on the body and its actions, combined with editing that draws out inner rhythms from the shot to mould an unfamiliar sense of time. A running theme is the making of art and the production of selfhood, mirrored in the performance itself and in the formal shape of the film. By embracing such nonverbal arts as music and dance, meaning in the films is produced - and questioned - by the clash or fusion of images seen from changing viewpoints and angles." (A.L.Rees)

Xcèntric: Realisms, speculations
Thursday, November 8th 2012, 20h
Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona

The films of these four directors explore the different layers of reality and thought that exist in things: stone, flesh, milk, birds, trees... All present the world as an infinite void and open up to the diversity and thickness of their matter, using sound and image separately to make the world and its mysteries speak.
