    Directors Lounge - Aline Helmcke: Time-Framed
    Friday July 16th 2010, 21:30h
    Galerie Meinblau, Pfefferberg
    Christinenstr. 18/19, D-10119 Berlin, Germany

    Aline Helmcke either uses the drawing pen or the camera to create her film images. Her last film, “Rehe blicken nicht nach oben”, was realized with actors, scriptwriting and a tangible narration. The drawings, however, are based on photographs, or better saying on media images. The movement that derives from the differences of images – the animation, as we call it – though emphasizes the movements of drawing itself and the differences between one line and another line, but it rarely creates the illusion that we know from other animation films.

    What we thus may find here, is the wonderful hesitation of a young artist amongst a world of an rapidly accelerating flood of media images. The hesitation, the slowing-down, may already be a result of the painfully slow techniques of film drawings. (“I think I can call myself a filmmaker now, something I always strived for.” A.H.)

    Anyhow, Aline Helmcke conceives images of a poetic hesitation in her films, and it is well worth following their progression and unfolding, thus contemplating Aline’s out-drawn thought process.

    A series of films from different artists, selected by the Aline Helmcke, completes the program, all of them either exploring drawing or being composed with frame-by-frame photography. The artist will introduce the program and be available for Q&A. Please feel invited.

  • Oporto apresenta #20: Daylight Moon

    By on

    "Daylight Moon" by Lewis Klahr
    16mm film, color, sound (Optical), 14 ', 2003
    Friday, July 16, 2010, 23:00h
    Oporto, Salvador Correia de Sá, 42, 2 frente, 1200-399 Lisboa

    Lewis Klahr is the long waited follower of Max Ernst and Joseph Cornnell´s surrealist legacy. His films are unique cinematic-collages, uncanny streams of scenarios where subjects and things try (and fail) to fall into an order.
    Daylight Moon is an elliptical narrative, a detective story told in images and shadows from old Americana comics and ads. The film reveals a subtle unconscious quest for the unnamed pleasure or crime.

    "a melancholic longing for an irrecoverable past" Alexandre Estrela

    Oporto is a studio and a non-profit screening room located in Lisboa. Occupying the former Merchant Sailors Union headquarters, Oporto projects from time to time a single unique experimental video or film. The programme is exquisite and extremely slow.The selection of the pieces screened is made, not only on the basis of the work itself, but also on an overall idea of an exquisite corpse . The space is directed by artist Alexandre Estrela, in cooperation with designers and associate program managers Antonio Gomes and Claudia Castelo a.k.a. Barbara Says and artist Miguel Soares. Sponsored by GAU- Gestão de Audiovisuais.

    Elusive LandscapeElusive Landscape
    Saturday, July 17th, 2010, 20h
    Legion Memorial Park
    6630 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida, USA

    Elusive Landscape will be presented at five public parks in Miami from June to October 2010. This work consists of multiple hand-crafted 16mm films depicting the forms and colors of natural landscapes projected directly into the landscapes themselves. These events will be free and open to the public.

    Elusive Landscape promotes environmental awareness by celebrating Miami's lush urban greenspaces and natural eco-systems. It connects the city’s diverse audiences and neighborhoods by engaging everyday people with an experience that is sensorial, magical, celebratory and rooted in nature, and by presenting similar events across the city so that it becomes a shared, unifying experience.

    Artist Dinorah de Jesús Rodríguez brings to this project over 30 years’ experience in hand-crafted 16mm filmmaking, as well as a history of moving image installation, including several works which have included projections in the outdoors. Her work is exhibited internationally in film festivals, museums, galleries, independent venues and public spaces, and she has received numerous grants, fellowships and residency awards for her work.

  • Light Industry: Onishi Kenji's A Burning Star

    A Burning Star (Onishi Kenji, 1995)Light Industry: Onishi Kenji's A Burning Star
    Tuesday, July 13, 2010 , 19:30, 7$
    177 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, NY, USA

    - A Burning Star (Onishi Kenji, 16mm, 1995, 95 mins)

    One of the most notorious yet unseen works of Japanese experimental cinema, Onishi Kenji’s A Burning Star operates with an emotional and physical intimacy reminiscent of both the confrontational style of Hara Kazuo and the radically subjective camerawork of Stan Brakhage. Made when Onishi was in his early 20s, the film documents his father’s funeral and cremation through subtle Super-8 lensing and a rigorous sense of real-time. At the funeral site, Onishi undresses and manipulates the corpse, scrutinizing it with his camera, then later records the act of cremation through the furnace’s portholes. This last sequence is the morbidly compelling heart of the film, presenting unearthly images reminiscent of an alien planet's gaseous surface, with flames licking over quasi-organic landscapes that look increasingly less like a skull, a ribcage or a hip bone.

    Of A Burning Star, Onishi writes, “my inner conflicts find a cruel form." By fixing with unsettling intensity on his subject, but only briefly focusing on himself, Onishi evacuates his own emotions from the event’s depiction. Instead, he creates a film that speaks through its relentless examination of mute objects—what remains of his father—by capturing the very moments of their inexorable disappearance.

    letters, notes (Stephanie Barber, 2000)Stephanie Barber - A sides & B sides
    Saturday, July 31st, 18:30h & 20:30h, $9
    Anthology Film Archives
    32 Second Avenue, New York, NY 10003, USA

    Anthology welcomes Baltimore-based multi-media artist Stephanie Barber, who has been quietly amassing a remarkable body of work over the last 15 years, producing a steady stream of films and videos that are meticulously crafted and disarmingly modest. Barber uses cinema to explore the borders between text and image, photography and poetry, memory and loss. Each film creates its own whimsical world, teetering on the edge of sadness yet never maudlin. Barber’s intellectually playful works engage both brains and funny bones.

    22 & 23  July 2010, 16-20h
    Galerie Younique
    6 Avenue de la soeur Rosalie, 75013 Paris

    Curated by Kisito Assangni &  Alison Williams

    Including films & videos by German Britch (Argentina), Michael Chang (Denmark), Vienne Chan (Hong kong/Canada), Russell Chartier (USA), Glenn Church (USA), Luca Curci (Italy), Debbie Douez (Spain), Danny Germansen (Denmark), Alberto Guerreiro (Portugal), Neil Howe (Australia), Adamo Macri (Canada), Bill Millett (UK), Jerry King Musser (USA), Joas Sebastien Nebe (Germany), Leuna O’Doherty (Ireland/France), Pekka Ruuska (Finland), Icetrip Stvz (Mexico), Anders Weberg (Sweden), Alison Williams (South Africa), Masha Yozefpolsky (Israel).

    Drawn together by the art that they share via internet, artists with disparate cultural and aesthetic identities approach the internal workings that exist in all humans. Emotions are inherently difficult to explicate. How does one describe fear ? We know it when we feel it but how can we share, through the paltry use of language, our experience of it ? Moving images, mostly embellished with sound, extend the expressive possibilities beyond what can be accomplished through language or even static imagery. By employing the largest palette of creative possibilities, film and video artists from around the world strive to externalize those complex driving forces that we all enjoy and endure and that bind us, as humanity, together despite our difference.
