Room 10 Rants: Daniella Dooling & Les LeVeque

By Anonymous on Vie, 12/12/2014 - 17:37

Microscope is very pleased to welcome artists Daniella Dooling and Les LeVeque for the NYC premiere of their 2014 collaborative performance Room 10 Rants. In the piece, Dooling reads from her teenage drug diaries while Les LeVeque accompanies on an analogue video/audio synthesizer generating a psychedelic mix of body, words, colors and sounds.

At 14 years old, Daniella Dooling attempted to meticulously document her thoughts while experimenting with large doses of hallucinogenic drugs (primarily LSD). These drug diaries articulate her multiple transitions through stages of consciousness that reflect the anxieties, ecstasies and worldly revelations of a very stoned adolescent in 1981. Room 10 Rants is an exuberant, personal, often funny and hallucinatory 50-minute reenactment.

Lux Salon: I burn the way money burns

By Marcos Ortega on Vie, 12/12/2014 - 09:43

In her poem The Breast Anne Sexton ends with the line, “I burn the way money burns,” suggesting the complex and contradictory nature of female desire and its structurally dictated dual role—as lover but also care-giver and mother. These five films selected from LUX and Cinenova collections (1978-1994) not only confront this dual nature of women’s work. Through formal experimentation of both sound and image tracks, they also envision what Susan Stein describes in She Said as the “geometry of creeping lines” that inscribe the social relation of reproduction onto space itself.

Comparing Experimental Cinemas

By Marcos Ortega on Vie, 12/12/2014 - 09:07

Comparing Experimental Cinemas, an international symposium on experimental moving image practices. Presented by the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM), University of Westminster, and Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, in collaboration with Experimenta India.

Comparing Experimental Cinemas is the first event in a British Academy-funded research project which proposes to map histories and modes of global connectivity of artists' moving image across localities in Asia and beyond, and to theorise the regionality of experimental moving image practices. This symposium also intends to facilitate the establishing of a network of exchange and support among artists and other practitioners, who are largely, but not exclusively, based in the Asia-Pacific region. The long-term goal of the research project and network is to establish a sustainable infrastructure for disseminating experimental and artists' moving image.

Space Material, Immaterial Place: Films by Jeremy Moss

By Anonymous on Mar, 02/12/2014 - 16:40

Filmmaker Jeremy Moss, whose work has screened around the globe from the Crossroads Film Festival in San Francisco to the Arkipel International Documentary and Experimental Film Festival in Indonesia, brings a 60-minute program of recent moving image work. In the summer of 2011, Moss began expanding beyond his narrative training to fully explore lyrical and structural tendencies, creating the Super8 surrealist documentary Those Inescapable Slivers Of Celluloid, the abstract hand-made 16mm films produced at the Independent Imaging Retreat, The Sight and Cicatrix, the dance for camera pieces in collaboration with choreographer Pamela Vail, (Un)Tethered, Chroma, and That Dizzying Crest, and the essay film in collaboration with writer Erik Anderson, The Blue Record. As a program, these works cohesively embody an immersive optical and sonic experience revealing cinema’s capacity for both meditative expression and the rigors of collaboration.

Experimental Film Club: Films by Henry Hills

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 02/12/2014 - 15:27

Henry Hills has been making short, intensely rhythmic experimental films since 1975. Primarily New York-based (where he frequently collaborates with composer John Zorn, choreographer Sally Silvers, and poet Charles Bernstein), he has been living half-time in Vienna since 2008, teaches at FAMU in Prague and was a Guggenheim Fellow in 2009.

This programme, curated by seminal Irish filmmaker Vivienne Dick, represents many highlights from Hills’ career, and has been similarly presented in recent months at the Austrian Film Museum, REDCAT in L.A. and Media City in Windsor, Ontario. His work, which seeks abstraction within sharply focused naturalistic imagery and the ethereal within the mundane, promotes an active attentiveness through a relentlessly concentrated montage.

Buenos Aires Experiment

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 01/12/2014 - 17:18

La escena del cine experimental que ha surgido en los últimos cinco años, se alimenta de los encuentros de artistas de diferentes esferas y diferentes lugares. Por lo tanto la muestra de cine bonaerense presentará también obras de varios artistas quienes hoy día se residen en Buenos Aires siendo originarios no solo de la provincia, sino también del extranjero. La escena del cine experimental la podemos imaginar como parte de una escena alternativa mucho más amplia, que en el período de la crisis económica, política y social en Argentina (1999 – 2002) representó la única solución posible para los artistas de ese país. Dicha escena está conformada por diferentes escenas de DIY (do- it- yourself) a partir de la musica, el teatro, el videoarte actual y todo tipo de performances. Todas ellas surgen de la sensación de que hace falta tanto un espacio mental como también un espacio físico para un gesto de creación espontánea, para compartir y colaborar, y así como de la sensación de ausencia de un espacio para las dudas y la reflexión sobre la época actual.

Con obras de Mario Bocchichio, Andrés Denegri, Benjamin Ellenberger, Lisandro Listorti, Azucena Losana, Pablo Marín, Pablo Mazzolo, Maximiliano Sans y Sergio Subero.

The Transformable Moment: The Films of Stephen Broomer

By Marcos Ortega on Dom, 30/11/2014 - 16:10

Toronto-based experimental filmmaker Stephen Broomer is one of contemporary Canadian cinema's most poetic voices. His layered, densely textured celluloid tone poems (sounding echoes of David Rimmer and Philip Hoffman) probe relationships between landscape and desire, architecture and nature, physicality and spirituality, while also exploring the tangible yet ghostly experience of memory. A filmmaker and film preservationist (often working in 8mm and 16mm formats), Broomer has a BFA in Film and Video Production, an MA in Film Studies, and is presently completing his doctoral dissertation on the origins of the Canadian avant-garde film.

Broomer will attend the screening to introduce and discuss his work. The evening will also feature the official launch of a new Canadian Film Institute publication on Broomer’s work, The Transformable Moment: The Films of Stephen Broomer (edited by Scott Birdwise and Tom McSorley). Guest curator and film scholar Scott Birdwise will also attend.
