Real time cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated digital maps by Eric Theise, accompanied by stalwart local improvising musicians Jim Ryan and Darien Baiza. An evening of street grids, rivers, islands, and curiosities from the built environment. Saturated colors. Glitches in crowdsourced data. Orphaned information and free-floating symbology.

Following on from last year’s Gaze. Play. Dream retrospective on Ibero-American experimental cinema, we are pleased to announce two programmes of experimental short films as part of our bigger view into the non-fiction, new narrative cinema. This session programmed by La Inesperada Festival brings together four authors from the contemporary film scene who trace, through non-fiction, the intricate connections between family relationships and social traditions.

Move Screen! Process Cinema! is a series of screening events that examine the forms and settings of cinematic projection. We will explore the variable use of the screen(s) and projector(s), the expression of film materiality, and the practice of photochemistry. We celebrate small film poems, hand-made films, experimentation in analog and digital practices, installation, live performance, and the kinds of miraculous moments that almost elude us and yet because of cinema, reappear.

Door opens at 7:30pm; Screening starts at 8pm.
