Self Portrait and Other Ruins: The cinema of Louise Bourque

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 08/05/2024 - 02:49

Louise Bourque's œuvre is an irreducible totality in which personal and family secrets hide behind layers of photochemical emulsion. It offers an obsessive world that is both visceral and oneiric, dotted with repetitive motifs. Death and birth, fertility and decomposition. These oppositions run through Bourque's work and find an echo in her practice; she creates out of images that are "dead" (unused, discarded, forgotten) and buried (in the garden of the familial house).

Imprints: The Films of Louise Bourque
Imprints is a collection of essays, interviews, ephemera, and personal reflections that chart Louise Bourque’s life and work. Since 1989, Bourque has made a significant mark on Canadian experimental cinema. Her works often involve the physical manipulation of emulsion, with the content of the work stemming from a different type of imprint, namely, that of memory and trauma, and her aesthetics are imprinted on the work of contemporary filmmakers dealing with memorial processes and abstract imagery.

35mm: Standard gauge of memory

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 09/02/2016 - 16:20

On the occasion of the arrival in Paris of the filmmaker Daïchi Saïto, who just won the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam International Film Festival with his new film Engram of Returning, we invite you to an experimental movie night Thursday, February 11, 2016 at 20h at the Finnish Institute.

The 35mm format is the most used of the silver film cinema. Considered the "standard format", it measures 35 millimeters wide and has in its edges rectangular perforations to ensure its traction by the various mechanisms of shooting and projection.

Modos de habitar

By Marcos Ortega on Sun, 24/01/2010 - 13:30

Paisajes domésticos: interiores y exteriores de casas donde cohabitan las variaciones de la luz con los objetos, los niños y la cámara en un determinado tiempo. Lugares donde la cámara opera como un instrumento, con sus diferentes posibilidades fílmicas compone mosaicos del espacio doméstico: diferentes modos de ver el espacio íntimo y de habitarlo.

Ventana, Claudio Caldini. Argentina, 1975, vídeo, 4 min.
