Peter Rose

Since 1968 Peter Rose has made over thirty films, tapes, performances and installations. Many of the early works raise intriguing questions about the nature of time, space, light, and perception and draw upon Rose's background in mathematics and on the influence of structuralist filmmakers. He subsequently became interested in language as a subject and in video as a medium and generated a substantial body of work that played with the feel and form of sense, concrete texts, political satire, oddball performance, and a kind of intellectual comedy.

Spectrum Between presents: Textual Film

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 01/12/2025 - 08:17

This 16mm program features four films engaged variously with ideas of "text-as-image." Whereas Chaplin and Murnau once rejected silent era intertitling practices as "unfilmic," these filmmakers explore how text on screen could be just the opposite. Proposing self-consciously literal responses to longstanding scholarly questions about "film language," these conceptual works are as playful and comedic as they are formally rigorous.

A Roll For Peter in Vancouver

By Anonymous on Thu, 20/04/2017 - 04:38

Iris Film Collective, in collaboration with Dance Troupe Practice is pleased to present “A Roll For Peter”, the touring program of films made in tribute to the late great filmmaker Peter Hutton.

The films come to Vancouver in serendipitous confluence with two screenings as part of the DIM series at The Pacific Cinematheque of Hutton’s work (the second takes place on April 26).

Hutton, an American artist and educator, developed a unique perspective on both urban and remote landscapes through his images from the early 1970’s until his death in 2016.

Independent Frames: Shape and Structure

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 13/02/2017 - 04:41

While structural film was the dominant form within the avant-garde tradition at the dawn of the 1970s, animators used shape and structure in a variety of ways that differentiated their works. Robert Russett composed geometric patterns and colour sequences in complex rhythms to create his pulsing, abstract films. Paul Glabicki created incisive, analytical works that explored objects through image, language, form and movement, drafting stunningly complicated sequences by hand.
