Argentine Experimental Filmmakers

By Marcos Ortega on Fri, 07/08/2015 - 03:45

The series "Argentine Experimental Filmmakers", curated by Claudio Caldini will start next August 7 at 20h, and will continue every Friday of August, at the MAR Auditorium. Each screening will be introduced by Caldini and include several films organized under four concepts: Concrete forms; Signs of life; Landscapes in trance; and Light and time.

"Experimental film, avant-garde, nonfiction: definitions and categories are insufficient to describe a practice that involves multiple ways of perceiving (and thinking) through film images. These films made outside of production infrastructure are individual works that reinvent the gaze in every experience. They require of the viewer a similar provision in its responsiveness," explains Caldini on the cycle.

Dates:
Friday, August 7, 2015 - 20:00 to Saturday, August 8, 2015 - 19:55
Friday, August 14, 2015 - 20:00 to Saturday, August 15, 2015 - 19:55

Like the still-shining light from a dead star, the films Jorge Honik meticulously constructed during the 1960s and 70s continue to strike the present of his imagination with all the force of forty years ago. -Pablo Marín

Ghost Anthology: A History of Argentine Experimental Film

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 09/10/2013 - 07:34

Organized by Buenos Aires-based filmmaker and curator Pablo Marín, Ghost Anthology charts an eye-opening course through the last 40 years of Argentina’s rugged experimental film history, showcasing a collection of films rarely exhibited in the US. The movement exploded in the 1970s, just as the country came under the control of a military dictatorship. Forced underground, artists experimented with small, consumer-grade film cameras and developed informal collectives to produce collaborative, deeply personal, and formally dazzling works. Included here are films by such pivotal makers as Narcisa Hirsch, Horacio Vallereggio, Jorge Honik, Gabriel Romano, and Claudio Caldini, as well as contemporary artists Sergio Subero, and Pablo Mazzolo, among others.
