Rightfully praised as the godfather of hand-processing workshops, Phil Hoffman has always stood as a lightning-rod of hope and creative agency through the 30 years of his summer retreats in Ontario, Canada. He finally blesses the Bay Area with three visits this week, with this OC program offering the best opportunity to revel at the most extraordinary 16mm exemplars from his three decades of enlightened instruction on photochemical experimentation.
"The short films in this program reflect a mix of formal experiments and collaborations that often feed into and fuel some of my longer poetic narratives, essay and autobiographical films, spanning my 45 year practice. Formally, the first half of the program are mid-career works which experiment with techniques of fragmentation through shooting, editing optical printing and through photo-chemical processes.
Time, structure, patterns. These are some of the principles that guide the 9th edition of (S8) Mostra Internacional de Cinema Periférico that, under the title Lux Algebra, invoke the alchemical film elements that manipulate time and its structures, in order to define a program that complete the trilogy dedicated to film creation the Mostra has been developing in these past editions, from the light with The New Impressionists (2016) to the material that supports the images with Objects and Appearances (2017), on the concepts of appropriation of found footage.
