Day Is Done

By Michele Smith on Mié, 10/02/2016 - 15:19

MY HOUSE curator, Tobin Gibson, introduces this special event — only the third time Mike Kelley's "fractured feature-length musical" has been screened in a cinema. Extending the artist's subversive, multifaceted examination of trauma, abuse and repressed memories, refracted through the prism of personal and mass-cultural experience, Day Is Done is composed of live-action recreations of high-school yearbook photographs of extracurricular activities, or, as the late artist himself termed them, "socially accepted rituals of deviance." These carnivalesque disruptions of the normal school schedule, in the form of pageants, recitals, variety shows, hazings, slave auctions and dress-up days, mirror events in the broader cultural arena.

35mm: Standard gauge of memory

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 09/02/2016 - 16:20

On the occasion of the arrival in Paris of the filmmaker Daïchi Saïto, who just won the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam International Film Festival with his new film Engram of Returning, we invite you to an experimental movie night Thursday, February 11, 2016 at 20h at the Finnish Institute.

The 35mm format is the most used of the silver film cinema. Considered the "standard format", it measures 35 millimeters wide and has in its edges rectangular perforations to ensure its traction by the various mechanisms of shooting and projection.

Xcèntric: Robert Beavers - La mano tendida

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 09/02/2016 - 09:26

My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure es el título del ciclo que reúne 18 películas de Robert Beavers, producidas desde 1967 hasta 2001. Esta sesión presenta tres películas de cada una de las tres partes que componen este ciclo, en las que el cineasta trabaja manualmente, imprimiendo sus gestos tanto en la filmación como en el montaje.

En Early Monthly Segments Beavers se autorretrata y expone su método de trabajo señalando el propio dispositivo cinematográfico. En Work Done hace uso de la metáfora y de la alusión visual para generar correspondencias entre los procedimientos fílmicos y las formas arquetípicas de los trabajos artesanales. En AMOR presenta el corte y la confección como metáforas de las emociones que rodean el amor, la separación y el hermanamiento metonímico de los objetos.

OFFoff Cinema: Courtisane Festival preview

By Anonymous on Mar, 09/02/2016 - 02:59

This screening fits into our running programme and the theme of essayism, and it is an announcement to the programme In Between Lines of the forthcoming Courtisane Festival in which Offoff and Courtisane present The Song of the Shirt, a unique and influential film by Sue Clayton and Jonathan Curling (1979). It is a study of the position of working women in the 1840's, the effects of protectionist 'philanthropy' and the resistance to it.

Between the Frames - Japanese experimental film on 16mm: prolific years 1975-1980

By Anonymous on Mié, 03/02/2016 - 12:40

The Japanese experimental cinema movement became strong in the late 60’s, having it’s peak in the late 70’s. Toshio Matsumoto, who started making avant-garde documentaries and artistic feature film, and other predecessors, had a big influence on a new generation of film makers. Many of them were fascinated in exploring the mechanism of the moving image. This program highlights the peak period of Japanese experimental film, putting Atman (1975) by Toshio Matsumoto, which creates an extraordinary spatiotemporal sensation, and Spacy, by Takashi Ito, seriously influenced by Atman, as two merkmals. The films in this program, except Matsumoto’s and Ito’s film, have not been digitized, and their importance is underestimated both inside and outside Japan. For this reason it is a rare opportunity to watch these films in the original format.

Xcèntric: La voluptuosidad del mirar. James Herbert

By Marcos Ortega on Jue, 28/01/2016 - 08:58

Cineasta y pintor, James Herbert es conocido por sus videoclips para R.E.M., pero su cine se ha visto muy pocas veces. Entre la atracción voyerista y la reflexión, muestra la sensibilidad del cineasta para reinterpretar el cuerpo a través de la refotografía: figuras de parejas desnudas en un entorno visual, reflejos de la impresión del tacto o la soledad, mientras la película se intensifica con el grano, la textura y la luz.

The Festival of (In)appropriation #8

By Marcos Ortega on Mié, 27/01/2016 - 04:57

Los Angeles Filmforum presents The Festival of (In)appropriation #8

Curators Jaimie Baron and Greg Cohen in person!

Whether you call it collage, compilation, found footage, détournement, or recycled cinema, the incorporation of already existing media into new artworks is a practice that generates novel juxtapositions and new meanings and ideas, often in ways entirely unrelated to the intentions of the original makers. Such new works are, in other words, “inappropriate.” This act of (in)appropriation may even produce revelations about the relationship between past and present, here and there, intention and subversion, artist and critic, not to mention the "producer" and "consumer" of visual culture itself. Fortunately for our purposes, the past decade has witnessed the emergence of a wealth of new audiovisual elements available for appropriation into new works. In addition to official state and commercial archives, resources like vernacular collections, home movie repositories, and digital archives now also provide fascinating material to repurpose in ways that lend it new meaning and resonance.
