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.

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.

FFD: Abraham Ravett retrospective

By Marcos Ortega on Jue, 27/11/2014 - 07:27

As part of the 13th Festival Film Dokumenter

The Abraham Ravett Retrospective program is an effort to reflect on the significance of the aesthetics of cinema – the complexity of visual journeys that can be interpreted from so many events and moments, especially from a personal perspective – that leads us to collectively discover something more plural. Although experimental cinema is no longer a new discourse in documentary, Ravett’s works may introduce new challenges to our audience in Yogyakarta.

The filmic discourse is not limited to the simple notion that photography can evoke memories of the past or nostalgia. The combination of mediums used by Ravett translates major events as well as represents his personal journeys – his identity formed around immigrant Jewish lives and the myriad connections through the passage of historical time. The explorations are transcendental and are not limited to the particular re-narrations of Nazi atrocities.

Model, counter model: The use of films by critics

By Anonymous on Vie, 21/11/2014 - 12:43

Written by Jonas Mekas for Film Culture in 1955, the article "Experimental Film in America" was particularly critical against the film avant-garde in America considered at that time by the young film critic as "the imprisoned self". Especially violent against filmmakers whose Jonas Mekas will defend the work later with passion and no limits – from Sidney Peterson to Stan Brakhage, Ian Hugo or Kenneth Anger – this lampoon reflected then the need of breaking the accepted ideas inherited from the tradition of the avant-gardism in cinema, but also the necessity, for the film critics, to canalize the dispersed energy of a young and rising generation of filmmakers. Conceived from this founder and critiqueable text, the program Model, Counter Model offers to revisit the use against type of films by critics.
