Both filmmakers for over fifteen years, Keitaro Oshima and Maki Satake are a couple living in Japan. In something like a structural approach, Keitaro dissects the moving image with the intention to re-construct it, while Maki's work focuses on the question of recording from diverse sources (video, photo, audio tapes...) in order to re-work family memories, her primary source of inspiration. This program will present a rare opportunity to encounter their work and to meet their gazes.
These histories of masks begin with the nocturnal visit to the National Museum of Ethnology in the Netherlands filmed by Max de Haas in 1950 in Maskerage, impeccable on its form (first film score by Pierre Schaeffer), questionable on the content (colonialist hints) and ends with the sublime images shot in Mexico by Eisenstein during the Day of the Dead.
Between these two glances on the mask, some incarnations, simulacra and dissimulations, more or less serious games in which exhibition, grotesque and primitive violence are mixed.

La versatilidad instrumental de Anthony Moore le sitúa entre los contextos de la vanguardia más minimalista y los de la música popular más progresiva. Werner Nekes, Dore O. y Klaus Wyborny son tres de los cineastas alemanes con los que colaboró creando músicas para sus filmaciones. Las tres piezas musicales que se pueden escuchar en esta sesión mantienen cadencias profundamente repetitivas, pausadas, extáticas e hipnóticas.

Over the past 15 years, British artist, filmmaker and musician Luke Fowler has developed a practice that is, at the same time, singular and collaborative, poetic and political, structural and documentary, archival and deeply human. With an emphasis on communities of people, outward thinkers and the history of the left, his 16mm films tell the stories of alternative movements in Britain, from psychiatry to photography to music to education.

Considerado un maestro e innovador en el manejo de la positivadora óptica (optical printer), las inesperadas composiciones y paisajes cinematográficos que conforman el cine de Pat O'Neill son fruto de un pionero y virtuoso trabajo artesanal que, en contraste con la época digital, revela con más fuerza su intensidad plástica y cromática.
