OFFoff Cinema: Swedish Experimental Film Part I

By Anton Michels on Mar, 08/03/2016 - 15:30

The history of Swedish experimental film is a story of small broken histories. Sometimes it has resulted in significant works, such as Viking Eggeling's seminal Symphonie diagonale, or in significant experimental filmmakers, such as Gunvor Nelson. But, that is rather the exception than the rule. However, what unites Eggling, Nelson and the films that will be presented in this program is the international context as a prerequisite for the work and the individual films.

Magasinet Walden: Mary Helena Clark

By Marcos Ortega on Vie, 27/11/2015 - 04:05

Magasinet Walden presents a screening dedicated to the work of Mary Helena Clark. Born in 1983, for 10 years she has produced a wealth of substantial works. Her films are characterized by an unusual dualistic approach where a rigorous formalist work, which spins further on the structuralist film's ideas and practices, combines with an interest in magic and illusionism. We show Clark's overall filmography, together with Robert Breer's Breathing (1963) and Blake Williams' Something Horizontal (2015), two films that Clark has chosen to include in the programme.

Between the Black Box and the White Cube
Today, the moving image is ubiquitous in global contemporary art. The first book to tell the story of the postwar expanded cinema that inspired this omnipresence, Between the Black Box and the White Cube travels back to the 1950s and 1960s, when the rise of television caused movie theaters to lose their monopoly over the moving image, leading cinema to be installed directly alongside other forms of modern art.

Geometry in motion

By Marcos Ortega on Jue, 07/02/2013 - 09:01
Geometry in motion
Wednesday, February 18 2013, 18h
Musée d'art moderne André Malraux
2, boulevard Clemenceau, 76600 Le Havre

A programme in resonance with the coming of the Centre Pompidou Mobile to Le Havre that will present "Circles and Squares," a selection of works about geometric abstraction.

Shortly after painting, cinema takes possession of abstraction in the first decades of the 20th century. After the first works (the chromatic music of the Italian Futurists, the colorful rhythms of Leopold Survage) it is in Germany where the first stream of abstract film develops.

Based on this historical avant-garde, this programme will provide an overview of geometry in motion along with American films and contemporary digital experimentation.

Programme:
- Rhythmus 21 (Hans Richter, 1921-23, 3’20, 16 mm, b&w)
- Symphonie Diagonale (Viking Eggeling, 1921-24, 7’00, 16 mm, b&w)
- Anémic cinéma (Marcel Duchamp, 1925-26, 2’00, 16 mm, b&w)
- Kreise (Oskar Fischinger, 1933, 2’00, 16 mm, colour)
- Squares (Oskar Fischinger, 1934, 5’00, 16 mm, colour)
- Radio dynamics (Oskar Fischinger, 1942, 4’00, 16 mm, colour)
- Matrix III (John Whitney, 1972, 11’00, 16 mm, colour)
- 69 (Robert Breer, 968, 5’00, 16 mm, colour)
