Star Spangled to Death

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 06/04/2026 - 06:48

Almost 7 hours long, Ken Jacobs' magnum opus is a social critique of the USA, as poignant and relevant today as in the 1950s.

One of the American avant-garde's most prolific figures, Ken Jacobs (1933-2025) eagerly embraced digital filmmaking in the late 1990s.

From the monumental Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son to his Nervous Magic Lantern performances and more recent digital and 3D explorations, Jacobs's work is an uncompromised declaration of love for cinema.

Ken Jacobs - I Walked Into My Shortcomings
I WALKED INTO MY SHORTCOMINGS is the first book to gather the writings, teachings and interviews of Ken Jacobs (1933–2025), a towering and singular figure in American art and experimental film. Spanning seven decades of creativity, these texts complement a body of work that ranges from downtown capers and reworkings of historical found footage, to groundbreaking performances of expanded cinema and radical explorations of perception and depth. They reveal an artist relentlessly committed to transforming how we engage with the moving image.

Ken Jacobs’ 1969 structural film classic created from found footage, including the 1905 original, is a masterful investigation of perception itself.

As a prologue to the retrospective Seeing Through Film: Ken and Flo Jacobs, this film includes the 1905 original from Billy Bitzer (D. W. Griffith’s cinematographer).

THRILLS AND SPILLS - Cine de metraje encontrado: De los Castle films a la pornografía

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 11/04/2023 - 09:30

El reciclaje de imágenes cinematográficas es cosa casi tan antigua como el propio cine. Mientras que este reciclaje que ha servido de uso frecuente a una función utilitaria, documental o ideológica, también se le relaciona con la historia del cine de vanguardia, cuando menos desde los años treinta del siglo pasado. Por otra parte, así como ciertas películas de metraje encontrado y artistas vinculados a la práctica son relativamente conocidos, cabe decir también que mucho menos se sabe de la naturaleza y el origen de las imágenes reutilizadas.
