Designed in collaboration with Crater-Lab, this session presents three recent works by members of the collective, and one by Mexican Elena Pardo, one of the artistes participating in SCREEN, the international residency programme of the Spectral project. These four performances with multiple 16mm projectors, slides and other image-making artifacts and handcrafted effects demonstrate the type of work this independent collective produces in our city.

This session, a look at Japanese avant-garde cinema of the seventies and eighties, brings together the work of the leading figures of that movement with that of practically invisible artists. The playful cinema of illusion of these three generations of directors combines the representation of landscape with a minimalist analysis of the cinematographic device.

Dirty, playful, bawdy, freaky, raunchy, sexy, brilliant, campy, punky, puerile, gross, glamorous…there are not enough evocative adjectives to accurately encompass the innumerable pleasures of Curt McDowell’s resolutely queer and radically multi-sexual body of film work in all its florid fecundity.

Following the recent publication of her essay Los pasadizos secretos [Secret passages] for the CCCB’s Breus collection, filmmaker and programmer Elena Duque presents a programme of experimental animation featuring iconic works of different styles, periods and origins that give an idea of ​​the richness of the genre.
