Critic and filmmaker Pablo Marín presents an illustrated talk and two programmes on Argentine experimental cinema with works from the 1970s and the present, the two most significant periods in Argentina’s cinema.

Xcèntric: Access to the View. Films of Amy Halpern

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 20/02/2020 - 16:12

The films of Amy Halpern are devoted to the pleasures of light, of perception and of film as a medium. Their intellectual interplay, along with the aesthetics of pleasure and the resulting synesthetic associations, give rise to intimate, melodic, sensual experiences.

As a child, Amy Halpern made compositions using light and movement, like all children. She was interested in looking at volumes, both spatial and temporal, positive and negative spaces, and their representation and/or suggestion on screen.

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 23/04/2019 - 10:03

We celebrate Jonas Mekas’ work with one of his great diary-films, shot between 1969 and 1984: portraits of his community of artist and filmmaker friends (Rossellini, Anger, Warhol, Frampton, Lennon…), about “places, seasons of the year, climates (storms, snow, blizzards), streets and parks in New York, brief escapes to natural areas, nothing special, minor celebrations held over the years, up until now, and that are retained as a record in these short and personal sketches" (Mekas).

Xcèntric Cinema: Arthur and Corinne Cantrill. Touching the Earth

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 19/02/2019 - 07:22

A great deal of the films by filmmakers Arthur and Corinne Cantrill are based on the study of landscape, relating filmic shapes with the shapes of places. Not only does it provide a close-up of the rugged harshness of the Australian landscape, the films in this session - Bouddi, Island Fuse and Ocean Point Lookout – look into the materiality of the actual image and perception, posing us with questions about the nature of cinema and its capacity to create other worlds.

Xcèntric Cinema: Print Generation

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 29/01/2019 - 10:05

Print Generation is one of the canonic titles of structural cinema. Its starting point is a repetitive montage of sixty shots lasting one second. It’s a filmic minute of autobiographical images then submitted to scrupulous copying per contact process. Conducted in close collaboration with a professional laboratory, the title reveals J. J. Murphy’s yearning to research the photochemical properties of the medium following a systematic generative methodology.
