  • Xcèntric: Bruce Conner (I). Movie in my Head

    By on
    Crossroads (Bruce Conner, 1976)

    Bruce Conner is noted for his transgressive, pioneering use of found footage, but he also made and edited films. His career provides an index of US counterculture attitudes, from the psychic experiments of the beat generation and hippies to the appropriations of punk rock. These two programmes, ranging from his first films to his latest digital projects, reaffirm Conner’s importance as a filmmaker who is both innovative and influential.

  • Xcèntric: On the meaning of construction. Robert Beavers

    By on
    Ruskin (Robert Beavers, 1975/1997)

    With the presence of the filmmaker. 

    For Robert Beavers, the camera is not a simple recording device; it has a very lively quality that surrounds the elements of filming. This session presents two films he made in the 1970s based on a 15th-century painting and the writings of John Ruskin. The construction of images and sounds in these works connects the present with the past and the past with the present in a continual toing and froing.
