  • WORKS ON PAPER - Hand-Crafted Animated Films by Meghana Bisineer, Martha Colburn, Jennifer Levonian, Peter Millard, Johan Rijpma, Paloma Trecka, and Selina Trepp

    By on
    Meghana Bisineer, Dog, animated film still, Telematic Media Arts, 2022

    Telematic Media Arts is pleased to present Works on Paper, an exhibition of animated films by artists working with paint, paper, drawing, cut-out collage, and sculpture to produce time-based, moving image works.  Attending to tangible materials, the films in this screening simultaneously foreground the artistic process and the labor required for their own creation.  They mark the passage of time, giving it form and meaning as chronicles of physical change.  And they show how – with the right degree of creative imagination, thoughtful attention, and sustained effort – the world is open to re-invention.

    Saturday, September 17, 2022 (All day) to Saturday, October 22, 2022 (All day)

    Venue: 

    Telematic - San Francisco, United States

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

    By on

    (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)
