Nina Danino's Maria

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 17/02/2025 - 07:21

“Only when I was singing did I feel loved... to sing is an expression of your being, a being which is becoming.” – Maria Callas

In MARIA, a new experimental film by Nina Danino, Maria Callas is seen in recordings of different performances – Norma, Tosca, Medea. She is transfigured in an audio-visual iconostasis (a wall of icons) of different archive formats and newly shot footage. Maria is a hypnotic, cinematic and transcendent vision of an icon, an artist and a woman.

Nina Danino - Rupture/Rapture/Jouissance: The Religious Trilogy 1990-1997
Nina Danino is one of the foremost British experimental filmmakers of her generation. Her films explore the relationship of image to sound, and of theory to practice. She draws upon her own personal history as well as literary and artistic works, which are filtered through a poetic interpretation of feminist theory that foregrounds women’s personal experience and expression. These inspirations are restructured through image-making, editing and voice performances to create original works of striking intensity and emotional force.

(a music label from Ghent managed by graphic designers Joris Verdoodt and Mathieu Serruys) and film curator Sofie Verdoodt collaborated to put together the programme. Blasphemous iconoclasts and trance filmmakers from the American avant-garde are accompanied by brand new soundtracks by promising talent from the experimental music scene. Séances and installations complement the programme.

Close-Up on Nina Danino

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 30/11/2016 - 08:57

Close-Up is pleased to present the films of Nina Danino, including her most recent feature film Jennifer. Ranging from early 16mm works – which combine observational narrative with personal or subjective memory to inscribe and defer the representation of the woman – to her recent studies of the unseen women who dedicate themselves to enclosed monastic lives, Danino seeks to capture the ephemeral aspects of place through the medium of film.

...and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens
The publication “...and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens” brings together three of Nina Danino’s early 16mm films—First Memory (1980), Close to Home (1985), Stabat Mater (1990)— which are related to Gibraltar as a real place, and as an imagined geography and history. The publication includes the artist’s recent work Meteorologies (2013).

The book is published on the occasion of Nina Danino’s solo exhibition “...and the figtrees in the Alameda gardens” at the Garrison Library, a magnificent library in Gibraltar—established in 1793. Since then, the venue, with its fine collection of rare books and documents, has been a centre of international cultural life in Gibraltar.
