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

Filmadrid International Film Festival (June 5-13, Madrid) is a newborn festival with the "determination to discover new paths in the landscape of contemporary cinematography". And as such, in its very first edition, presents a very strong commitment with experimental cinema. Eighteen works, feature and short films, will participate in the avant-garde competition, including pieces by Basma Alsharif, Laida Lertxundi, Juan Daniel F. Molero, Pablo Marín and Aura Satz, among others. Four 'guest programmes' complement the avant-garde section, featuring a series of animated non-fiction shorts curated by Elena Duque ('The missing image'); a programme curated by Albert Alcoz & Alberto Cabrera Bernal, filmmakers and editors of the Angular DVD label, who will also present its first release; a session dedicated to veteran filmmaker Adolpho Arrietta; and a series of works on the poems of Galician poet Xosé María Díaz Castro titled 'Proxecto Nimbos'. The Vanguardias Live section challenges several artists to create performative works in ways that they haven't thought of/worked with before; this edition will include performances by Juan Barrero, Lois Patiño and Salomé Lamas.

Dates:
Friday, June 5, 2015 (All day) to Saturday, June 13, 2015 (All day)
Were the Eye Not Sunlike

By ACRE TV on Thu, 02/04/2015 - 15:24

Were the Eye Not Sunlike
Curated by Third Object - an exhibition in two parts

Digitally: ACRE TV, acretv.org (April 1 - May 31)
Physically: Fernwey Gallery (April 3 - April 26)
Opening Reception: Fernwey Gallery, April 3, 2015, 6-9pm

Inspired by the long dark winters of Chicago, this exhibition focuses on the Sun at a time when it is missed the most, moments before springtime. As an object that is both illuminating and unseeable, the experience of the Sun is dominated by metaphor and myth. Were the Eye Not Sunlike channels the mythologization of the Sun and our relationship to its immeasurable power.

Beginning on April 1, a three-part video program will unfold on the artist-made live streaming platform ACRE TV. The program begins with Sunrise and its thematic associations of stillness, repetition, ritual, crispness and intimacy. Reflecting the course of the earth-bound day, the following program, High Noon, tracks the warmth and optical energy of a bright, full sky. Sunset, the final chapter, evokes impending darkness, melancholy, loss and reflection. The ACRE TV program includes work by sixty-two artists from around the world and will run for two months.

Dates:
Wednesday, April 1, 2015 (All day) to Sunday, May 31, 2015 (All day)

Buenos Aires Experiment

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 01/12/2014 - 17:13

The experimental film scene in Buenos Aires is growing from personal meetings of the artists of different field and different places and cultures. So the screening of films from Buenos Aires will present the oeuvres of the artists who are currently based in the capital of Argentina even when they’re coming from different places of Latin America and beyond. The experimental film scene is a part of the widest alternative art scene which during the time after economical, social and political crisis in Argentina (1999-2002) figure out the surviving strategy in such situation for the artistic activities. The other part of the entire scene are the different DIY branches from music, theater to contemporary video-art and performance. The majority of the scene is grown up from the lack of the mental and physical space for the spontaneous creative gesture as well as from the absent field for the reflection of contemporaneity.

With works by Mario Bocchichio, Andrés Denegri, Benjamin Ellenberger, Lisandro Listorti, Azucena Losana, Pablo Marín, Pablo Mazzolo, Maximiliano Sans and Sergio Subero.

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.

Claudio Caldini: Experimental Films 1975-1982
"Caldini emphasizes the idea of cinema as an activity of absolutely direct vision—an idea that, far from reclaimed by certain realist agendas, has always been, consciously or not, at the heart of the avant-garde."

"Anyone who has seen Caldini in action can confirm that his work environment privileges calm over agitation and reflection over continuous action. His body of work, based on anti-despair, appears eternal, dematerialized, and transcendent in the sense that its virtues and its beauty seem to reach far and beyond, and it seems to have existed since the beginning of time."
