Por dentro somos color, by Elena Pardo
Mexico, 2024, 16mm projected on video, 13'
In Santa María Tlahuitoltepec, in the state of Oaxaca, the women's organization Poj Kaa manages a community herbarium. Plant-searching expeditions are a way to share knowledge with midwives, healers, and xëmaapyë. In Teotitlán del Valle, the Ruiz family searches for colors they find in plants and insects, which they use to dye the wool they use to weave rugs. Both practices involve traveling the land, recognizing it, naming it, and connecting with everything it contains.

16mm film workshop and screening in collaboration with Association Braquage, with films by Moira Tierney & Masha Godovannaya, Sébastien Ronceray, Henri Storck, Helena Gouveia Monteiro, Stan Brakhage, Cécile Fontaine, and Collective Ø.

Montréal's micro-cinema, la lumière collective, is please to welcome BRAQUAGE for a wonderful screening on May 4th, 2022, 6:30pm. Sébastien Ronceray will be with us to introduce this program "Sortis des labos".

The motif of the loop, or more precisely repetition with variations, is one of the formal and thematic principles recurrent in experimental cinema, one of its major functions being to defamiliarize the gaze in a strange paradox. This selection of films offers an overview of different techniques and conceptual variations of this fascinating and troubling motif.
