A Mirror Avant-Garde: Non-Canonical Canonicals By Women Filmmakers

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 25/06/2015 - 16:35

"If you’ve seen more than three of the films in this program, I’d be surprised. Yet every single one of these films by women filmmakers, chosen from the collection of the Filmmaker’s Co-op, deserves to be written about, taught in classes, and be part of the canon of avant-garde film. In a program of striking artistic voices from filmmakers with large bodies of work, you’ll see resonances with the films of Jack Smith, Carolee Schneeman, Stan Brakhage, Len Lye, Owen Land, Hollis Frampton, Barbara Rubin, Malcolm LeGrice, and many others."

La Vidéoshop

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 08/06/2015 - 12:21

La Vidéoshop is the first and last store in a video rental chain that will never stretch from North America to France. La Vidéoshop will offer videos that you can’t find at a video shop. Avant-garde, anti-commercial, and DIY. La Vidéoshop will be located in a space that we can’t afford (Do you have any idea how much it costs to rent this place?). La Vidéoshop doesn’t sell anything. We don’t charge admission to the nightly screenings. Even the wine is free. Our business model is fatally flawed. La Vidéoshop won’t last. Enquire within for franchising opportunities. One day, there won’t be a Vidéoshop near you.

Dates:
Thursday, June 18, 2015 (All day) to Tuesday, June 30, 2015 (All day)
Venue:
La Vidéoshop - Paris, France
Cineclube: Imagem-Pensamento - Fall 2014

By Ж (kk) . on Wed, 15/10/2014 - 03:15

The diversity of thought with cinema. Thus the text as an image, the relations between image and sound, are part of personal films with an autobiographical dimension. Themes such as the contemporary consumer society, advertising, representation of women and neocolonialism are the focus of several sessions. While others show the film in a situation where celluloid and video speak their differences through the film as sculpture. The issue of the media, placing film and video in different sites, ranging from theater to the gallery, will also be addressed in the sessions. The films will be screened with subtitles in Portuguese and those will be available for filmmakers, and / or distributors.

By Marcos Ortega on Fri, 10/09/2010 - 07:44
Tate Modern: To Be Is To Be Perceived
17-26 September 2010
Tate Modern Starr Auditorum
Bankside, London, SE1 9TG, UK

In conjunction with Tate Modern’s exhibition Exposed: voyeurism, surveillance and the camera (until 3 October 2010), this film programme explores ways in which artists have used the camera to draw attention to a society mediated by permanent observation. It looks at how the camera has been used as a weapon, as a tool to reveal moments of privacy, and as a means of creating cultural icons.

Featuring the premiere of William Raban’s About now MMX, as well as work by Javier Aguirre, Peggy Ahwesh, Fikret Atay, Michel Auder, Samuel Beckett, Bureau of Inverse Technology, Jean Colom, Harun Farocki, Coco Fusco, William E Jones, Helen Levitt, Yoko Ono, Chris Petit, Nicolas Provost, Julia Scher and Andy Warhol.
