An evening of rarely screened films by Italian experimental filmmaker Massimo Bacigalupo, on the occasion of one of his seldom visits to New York.

Hannes Schüpbach (*1965) is a Swiss artist whose cinematic oeuvre is deeply rooted in the essence of the medium of film. His soundless works on analogue 16 mm film inspire reflection on time and movement, duration and memory. The screening features «Instants» (2012) and «Essais» (2020) in a performative presentation that involves language, music, and a conversation. Hannes Schüpbach is joined by cellist Flurin Cuonz and Werner von Mutzenbecher, a pioneer of artist film.

“[…] Each film charts the possibility of a pre-cinema experience, one that might have evolved had not narrative and commerce been cinema’s prevailing motivational forces.” — SS
