  • Xcèntric: La voluptuosidad del mirar. James Herbert

    By on

    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 on

    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.

  • Xcèntric: La calle era feliz cuando iluminaba sus fantasmas. El cine de Ernie Gehr

    By on

    Proyectamos tres de las películas más representativas de la primera etapa del cineasta norteamericano Ernie Gehr. Encuadrado dentro del llamado cine estructural, su discurso fílmico trasciende esta clasificación, ubicándolo dentro de la categoría de clásico de la vanguardia.

    Un plano puede ser una película; una película, una disposición de instantáneas expuestas durante fracciones de segundo o minutos eternos. Con cada latido —proyección intermitente de los fotogramas—, la luz, que depende de los reflejos, del objetivo o de la emulsión, se comunica con nuestros nervios y revela la verdadera acción.

  • Up to the Sky: 4 Films by Barbara Meter

    By on

    Barbara Meter is a pivotal figure in Dutch experimental cinema. In the 70's she was the driving force behind the Electric Cinema in Amsterdam, where numerous British and American filmmakers screened their work alongside their Dutch colleagues. Meter has a long filmography including experimental films, documentaries and fiction. She describes her experimental films as "lyrical structuralist". Curated by Karel Doing, the programme includes four films in which Meter combines documentary aspects with a more formal approach. Her latest film Up to the Sky and Much Much More will be screened in the UK for the first time. She will be present during the screening and participate in a short Q&A afterwards.

  • Xcèntric: Barry Gerson. Esculturas de luz

    By on

    Barry Gerson se convirtió en los setenta en uno de los grandes cineastas del experimental americano mediante sus hipnóticas piezas sobre «las formas libres y mínimas de la naturaleza […] su contenido es magia y trata de la esencia del cine» (Jonas Mekas). Pero en 1983 dejó de filmar durante más de dos décadas y desde entonces sus películas apenas se han proyectado. Celebrando su regreso a la filmación, esta sesión retrospectiva supone una ocasión extraordinaria para ver una parte esencial de su mejor obra e incluye dos de sus nuevas películas. El cine de Gerson —que comenzó concibiendo esculturas de luz en su habitación a la edad de tres años— se ha situado en la tradición de pintores como Malévich, Mondrian, Kandinsky o Rothko, o de los métodos poéticos de Ozu. Films que observan con delicadeza minimalista las apariencias del mundo para revelar, a través de la luz, estados interiores, misterios del sueño y aquellas realidades ocultas «donde todo es posible».

  • DIM Cinema: The Nine Muses

    By on

    DIM Cinema opens its 2016 season with Ghanaian-born British artist-filmmaker John Akomfrah’s epic film about the African diaspora to postwar Britain. Conceived as a gallery piece based on Homer’s Odyssey, this retelling of Telemachus’s search for his lost father, Odysseus, grew into a feature-length cinematic work structured as a song cycle, with each musical chapter named after one of the nine muses.  Mixing archival footage with original scenes shot in Alaska, and scripted from sound clips of established works of the (mainly) Western canon, the film summons up “a mood, rather than a story, that reflects on the immigrant experience and the violence of displacement with a majestic grace" (Jason Solomons, The Observer). “Striking ... Extends, complicates, and enriches the definition of documentary. Though lofty, The Nine Muses is never grandiose, taking as its subject the primal notion of what constitutes home” (Melissa Anderson, Artforum).
