In the historic port city of Cartagena, Spain—border crossing between Global North and Global South, between the south of Europe and the north of Africa—we present a program of experimental cinema from the “other continent,” with weight placed less on North America (with which we nevertheless chronologically begin) than Latin America.

Othon Cinema’s new screening program, “Metaphors on Vision: A Brakhage Retrospective,” will be held on Friday evening, November 22, at Atlas 1948 Cinema!

Brakhage, with his perspective on cinema, his films, and his ideas, has always been an inspiration for us, both in the founding of Othon Cinema and in the path we aim to follow. We are thrilled, proud, and delighted to present a selection of his films to our audience in the city’s most comprehensive cinema venue.

This autumn, Eye Filmmuseum spotlights American avant-garde cinema of the 1960s. The exhibition and extensive accompanying programme feature screenings of both iconic and lesser-known films, highlighting the explosion of formal experimentation in artistic filmmaking of the period.
