  • Film Art Phenomena

    "Alongside the commercial cinema of narrative and spectacle there has always been another practice--call it avant-garde, experimental, or artists' film. In this provocative book, Nicky Hamlyn, an acclaimed filmmaker in the alternative tradition, investigates the film art phenomenon. Taking cues from modern trends in other artforms, notably painting and sculpture, this type of filmmaking emphasizes the nature of its apparatus and medium in order to bring about a critical, inquisitive state of mind in the viewer.

  • Moving Image Review & Art Journal first issue online

    By on

    Intellect is delighted to announce the publication of the Moving Image Review & Art Journal. To celebrate the arrival of this groundbreaking journal we are offering issue 1.1 for free online: http://bit.ly/vZzdUf. The Moving Image Review & Art Journal (MIRAJ) is the first international peer-reviewed scholarly publication devoted to artists’ film and video, and its contexts. It offers a forum for debates surrounding all forms of artists’ moving image and media artworks: films, video installations, expanded cinema, video performance, experimental documentaries, animations, and other screen-based works made by artists. MIRAJ aims to consolidate artists’ moving image as a distinct area of study that bridges a number of disciplines, not limited to, but including art, film, and media. Reflecting the subject matter this journal contains many innovative elements and includes lots of black and white and colour imagery throughout.

    The first issue contains exciting work from an impressive list of contributors including Catherine Elwes, Maeve Connolly, Erika Balsom and Sean Cubitt. Articles and features represent a broad range of exceptional scholarship including such pieces as 'Brakhage's sour grapes, or notes on experimental cinema in the art world' an article which examines the place of experimental cinema within the contemporary museum in order to challenge the commonly held assumption that it is somehow opposed to, or at least outside, the art world. For a complete list of articles and abstracts please visit: http://bit.ly/yuKTFl. As well as articles and features the journal is also home to a vibrant Reviews section and Founding Editor, Catherine Elwes, frames the whole issue with a rousing editorial.

    Visit the journal online for more details, or please contact James Campbell (james@intellectbooks.com).

    'Artists' moving image is a hard topic to pin down, and its images and effects are multiple and mutable, but it has a substantial history. Snaring that history – or rather its manifold histories – in the pages of MIRAJ is one of the aspirations of our enterprise' - Catherine Elwes, Founding Editor, MIRAJ

    Meditation on violence by Maya Deren & Song 23 The 23rd Psalm Branch by Stan Brackhage

    Meditation on violence (Maya Deren, 1948)
    With Chao Li Chi and music by Teiji Ito
    As the movements of Chinese boxing is "forward" some metaphysical concepts of physical, MEDITATION ON VIOLENCE film is, in cinematic terms, a discussion of these concepts using physical movement as a visual means among others. The film begins and ends in the middle of a movement to make it as a visual slice of life, whereas it was and will be at infinity. Respiratory rate, alternating negative / positive, is maintained during approaches and withdrawals from the boxer facing the camera

    23rd Psalm Branch (Stan Brakhage, 1966-78)
    One of experimental great Stan Brakhage's best known but least seen films, 23rd Psalm Branch is a feature-length entry in his Songs series. It is both a beautiful, lyrical work and perhaps his most political film.
    Brakhage combines his own images of Colorado, found footage of war, and some of his earliest hand-painting on film to create a work that is rich with meaning and a key artistic milestone for him. Shot in 8mm and later blown up to 16mm, Song 23 is an extended meditation on war in society, made in response to the war in Vietnam. It is a haunting work, still relevant in it theme and one of Brakhages masterworks. Author P. Adams Sitney wrote that "it is an apocalypse of imagination".

    PASSAGE THROUGH: A RITUAL by Stan Brakhage + MUSICAL STAIRS by Guy Sherwin

    A chance to see one of Brakhage’s most important sound films for the first time in London alongside Guy Sherwin’s Optical Sound film Musical Stairs.

    Parts 1 and 2 of Histories of the Avant-Garde looked at the resolutely, intensely silent Brakhage film Riddle of Lumen and Guy Sherwin’s Short Film Series. Part 3 enters the world of sound with these two filmmkakers and also looks forward to Part 4 in February, which will be examining music’s manifold relationship to Film with five American masters.

    Brakhage’s relationship to sound was complex. It took an almost indirect collaboration with the composer Phillip Corner to fulfill Brakhage’s desire for a way of giving equal importance to music and image whilst keeping them parallel, distinct experiences. Long passages of black with Corner’s music are cut with silent flashes of colour photography culled from Brakhage’s ‘rejected’ footage. Meditative and demanding but ultimately one of Brakhage’s most rewarding films.
    Sherwin’s Musical Stairs has a method of production and structure that could be seen in opposition to Passage. Image is physically printed on to the optical sound track to create an seemingly absolute synthesis of sound and image.

  • CU-Boulder Film Studies to Host Fifth Annual Brakhage Symposium

    By on

    Acclaimed film curators from both sides of the country will meet at the University of Colorado at Boulder to help celebrate the Fifth Annual Stan Brakhage Symposium on March 14-15.

    Steve Seid, video curator at the Pacific Film Archive at the University of California, Berkeley, and Mark McElhatten, New York City curator and archivist for Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese, will present programs intended to "shed light on the contemporary world of avant-garde filmmaking and artistry, focusing on the exploration of moving visual art, past, present and future."

    The two-day event is sponsored by the CU-Boulder Film Studies Program and will be held in the ATLAS building on the Boulder campus. Each day will feature short films, presentations and panels that will examine the contemporary avant-garde world. All events are free and open to the public.

    The symposium began in 2005 to recognize, honor and carry on the legacy of the late Stan Brakhage, who is credited by many visual artists as a man who once all but defined the American avant-garde film movement. Brakhage taught at CU-Boulder from 1981 until his death in 2003 and held the title of distinguished professor of film studies.

    Brakhage began his filmmaking career in 1952 and completed more than 350 films, ranging from the psychodramatic works of the early 1950s to autobiographical lyrics, mythological epics, "documents" and metaphorical film "poems."

    Each year the symposium brings members of the experimental film and video community together to celebrate art, to share ideas and to promote the evolution of the moving image.

    The symposium was made possible by grants from The William H. Donner Foundation and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
