    Collectif Jeune Cinéma. Carte Blanche à Dérives, le travail du document
    Friday, April 2nd 2010, 20:00, 23:00
    Cinéma La Clef, 21 rue de la clef 75005 Paris

    The Autonomous Object? (Brad Butler & Karen Mirza, 2007)

    Le second numéro de la revue Dérives, rassemble textes, entretiens, films et documents, autour des travaux de Tariq Teguia, cinéaste algérien, et d’Akram Zaatari, artiste Libanais, afin d’approfondir certains aspects de leurs questionnements cinématographiques, territoriaux et politiques.

    Cette séance interroge, à travers des supports et des pratiques audiovisuelles diverses, le statut du document dans le travail du cinéaste, à la fois comme forme de témoignage, source essentielle, ou objet central de sa démarche. Archives, matériaux bruts, lacunes de représentation, absence de son ou d’image, mettent alors en jeu notre rapport au réel.

    Seance 01, 1h

    - The Autonomous Object? (Brad Butler & Karen Mirza, 11’, 16 mm, Grande-Bretagne, 2007)
    Quelque part en Inde. Un objet autonome, composé de bobines silencieuses, nous présente un geste répété. Tendre un miroir à la caméra, au milieu de la ville, de la foule ou de la nuit. Entre anthropologie et performance, une question adressée au dispositif d’enregistrement du cinématographe.

    - The Exception and The Rule (Brad Butler & Karen Mirza, 35’, 16 mm & DV, Grande-Bretagne, 2009)
    Pakistan. Karachi. Cadrer l’activité quotidienne, en période de trouble. Dans un travail a la croisée de l’observation et de l’intervention publique, artistes et cinéastes déploient diverses stratégies plastiques pour repenser l’acte politique.

    - Starry Night (Mazen Kerbaj, 6’, CD Audio, Liban, 2006)
    Nuit du 15 au 16 Juillet 2006. L’aviation israélienne bombarde Beyrouth. Mazen Kerbaj , dessinateur et musicien, installe un enregistreur audio sur son balcon. Armé de sa trompette, il improvise un duo minimal, face au chaos dans lequel cette nuit se trouve plongée.

    Seance 02    , 1h

    - Le Trou (Akram Zaatari, 30’, DV-Cam, Liban, 2005)
    1991. Beyrouth. Fin de la guerre du Liban. Un membre de la résistance Libanaise écrit une lettre aux propriétaires de la maison que son groupe occupe depuis six ans, la place dans un obus de mortier, et l’enterre dans le jardin familial. En 2002, Akram Zaatari retourne sur place, équipé d’une caméra vidéo.

    - La Cassette (Soufiane Adel, 20’, 35mm, France, 2007)
    Août 1989. Ma mère Zouina quitte la Kabylie avec mes deux soeurs, mon frère et moi, pour rejoindre mon père, mécanicien en France. Trois mois plus tard, elle reçoit une cassette audio d’Algérie. Ce film en restitue le contenu, l’extrait du cercle familial et en modifie l’objet.

    - K (Acugher/Acimi) (Frédérique Devaux, 8’, 16 mm, France, 2008)
    Dernier des huit de la série K. Chaque photogramme, composant le film, a été posé à la main dans la tireuse optique, selon la loi du hasard. Le titre, signifiant « Pourquoi ? Pourquoi ? », ainsi que le geste de la cinéaste, font écho à la politique du Gouvernement Algérien vis a vis de la Kabylie. Entre coup de poker, impuissance, et désolation.

    Messages From The Co-op: British Avant-garde Film 1967-76
    Wednesday March 31st 2010, 7:00pm
    New Zealand Community Trust mediatheatre, Wellington

    An evening of British avant-garde film of the 1960s and 1970s, introduced by Mark Williams, Curator, New Zealand Film Archive

    The 1960s and 1970s were a defining period for artists’ film and video. As collective and informal groups flourished worldwide, personal film makers were challenging cinematic convention. In England, much of the innovation took place at the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative, an artist-led organisation that incorporated a distribution agency, projection and film workshop.

    In search of new and critical ways of working with film, several of the Co-op artists made the materiality of celluloid their subject. Other works undercut audience expectations for cinematic escapism with duration, repetition and humour. This programme collects several films which embody the critical and creative spirit that informed the work of Anthony McCall and his contemporaries.

    This special screening of filmic explorations has been brought to New Zealand courtesy of LUX, London

    Presented in collaboration with The Adam Art Gallery and their installation Anthony McCall: Drawing With Light

  • no.w.here: Phoney Language

    By on

    Phoney Language
    Saturday 13 March 2010, at 7pm
    no.w.here
    3rd Floor, 316-318 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 0AG
    Tickets: £2

    This film programme presents a broad selection of short films that focus on the meaning of language beyond its verbal articulation. Six international filmmakers explore the way in which language relates us to the world: language is a means of communication, a matrix of behavioural codes and cultural values, an extention of the body and integral to our identity. But what happens to language when it is displaced? Migration can result in the mutation, or mutilation and even muteness of language. Displacement - geographical, social, or gender-related - creates phoney languages, counterfeit codes that negotiate the gap between the familiar and the foreign. Phoney Language also refers to the central role the telephone (the ‘far sound’) plays in some of the films.

    The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Stefan Constantinescu, Nana O Ayim, Zuzanna Janin, Florian Wüst and Maxa Zoller.

    Phoney Language has been organized by Florian Wüst and Maxa Zoller in conjunction with the exhibition All that Remains… The Teenagers of Socialism at Waterside Project Space (13 March - 11 April 2010, Private view: Friday 12 March 2010, 6.30-10pm)

    The Blindness Series is Los Angeles-based artist Tran, T. Kim-Trang’s expansive, fourteen-years-in-the-making tour de force on vision and its metaphors. Comprised of eight videos, the series draws upon notions of blindness to explore broader political and cultural themes of identity, sexuality, society, and technology. This evening, to celebrate the Video Data Bank’s release of The Blindness Series in a new DVD box-set, Tran will present five works from the cycle, including a provocative documentary on hysterical blindness and the Cambodian civil war (ekleipsis, 1998); an essay on cosmetic eyelid surgery (operculum, 1993); and a meditation on the phenomenon of word blindness (alexia, 2000). “We are invited to approach these works with all our senses,” writes scholar Laura Marks. “The Blindness Series, crankily, and finally tenderly, gives us our eyes back.” Tran, T. Kim-Trang, 1992-2006, USA, Beta SP video, ca. 82 min (plus discussion).

     

    TRAN, T. KIM-TRANG (b. 1966, Saigon, Vietnam) emigrated to the U.S. in 1975. She received her MFA from the California Institute of the Arts and has been producing experimental videos since the early 1990s. Her work has been exhibited internationally and nationally in solo and group screenings, including at the Museum of Modern Art, the 2000 Whitney Biennial, and the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar. Tran is the recipient of numerous grants and awards, having been awarded a Creative Capital grant, a Getty Mid-Career Fellowship, and a Rockefeller Film/Video/Multimedia Fellowship. Tran also collaborates with Karl Mihail on a project known as Gene Genies Worldwide© (www.genegenies.com). Their conceptual and public artworks on genetic engineering have exhibited at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria; Exit Art, New York; the Tang Museum at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York and elsewhere in the United States. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Scripps College.
