Light Movement presents in collaboration with Arsenal Berlin: Vincent Grenier curated by Ute Aurand and James Edmonds
This month we are very lucky to be able to offer you this incredible double program from Vincent Grenier, who will be present at the Arsenal and visits us as part of a tour of Europe. Grenier originates from Quebec City in Canada, but has spent much of his time living in New York, as well as being highly active in the Montreal Art scene of the 70's and 80's. Since the 70's he has made experimental films, creating a body of distinct work on 16mm, before branching out into HD cinema at the end of the 90's, furthering his facination with uncertain spaces, unexpected shifts in filmic constructions and "visual movements comprised of both experiential and physical interactions with the image and philosophical queries into the nature of representation."

Index and Film i Samtidskonsten present a joint series of four evenings of experimental films at Index' gallery. The programs have been developed as an extension of the most recent issue of the cultural magazine OEI #69-70: On film, published in autumn 2015, with 496 pages about significant practices of the Swedish experimental film scene. The events are organized as part of the decentral festival Kortfilmsdagen on December 21, supported by the Swedish Film Institute.
Curated by Martin Grennberger and Daniel A. Swarthnas, the program shows a selection of important Swedish experimental films, contextualized by works of international film practitioners. Several of the films are being shown for the first time in Sweden.
The filmmakers Robert Beavers (b. 1949) and Ute Aurand (b. 1957) are internationally known for their evocative portraits of people and places: Beavers has been making films since 1966 and retrospectives of his work have been organized for the Whitney Museum and the Tate Modern, among others. Aurand’s work explores space and human relations through astute, small gestures and purposeful sound. Her films, sometimes likened to the film diaries of Marie Menken and Jonas Mekas, have recently been featured at Tate Modern and the Harvard Film Archive.
