  • Normal Animal: Steve Reinke + Stephanie Barber

    By on

    In Steve Reinke’s newest long-form video, Rib Gets in the Way, the irreverent artist and essayist ruminates upon mortality, creative (and other) impulses, PrEP and Nietzsche. Assembling a free-form series of vignettes, the final and longest section of the video presents an animated children’s adaptation of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883–85), with colorful creatures animated with frequent collaborator, Jessie Mott.

  • Xcèntric: Animación experimental norteamericana de los años ochenta

    By on

    Una selección de películas de animación experimental de los Estados Unidos de los años ochenta. Las películas de Jane Aaron, Brady Lewis, Gary Schwartz y Al Jarnow juegan con el contraste entre animación y espacios reales, principalmente con técnicas de pixelación, con una intención experimental y lúdica. La trilogía City Scapes de Protovin y Backus es un retrato de observación documental de ciertos espacios de Manhattan, mezclando fotografía y animación. Las películas forman parte de la colección de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York, ciudad que fue uno de los focos importantes de la animación independiente de los años setenta y ochenta.

  • Soundfigures: Films by Aura Satz

    By on

    (Near) extinct technologies make sound visible in this program of shorts that delve into ideas of knowledge, memory, and communication. On a Chladni Plate, a device that marked the birth of acoustics, grains of sand, moving like Busby Berkeley dancers, form intricate patterns in response to changing sound frequencies, their shapes recalling the utopian quest for a “pure,” onomatopoeic alphabet. Wax cylinder recordings combine with modern scientific instruments to animate a text by Rainer Maria Rilke on the possibility of hearing the dead by playing their skulls with a gramophone needle. A histrionic voice-over, translated into a wave of small flames on a Ruben’s Tube, provokes unexpected associations, from the biblical burning bush to various acts of ventriloquism in pop culture...

  • Fool’s Gold: California Roadtrip in an Election Year

    By on

    Fool’s Gold: California Roadtrip in an Election Year references the theme of greed and envy told through popular legends and stories of the livelihood and moral fiber of a once wealthy, small, and rural American mining community of Trona California; after a corporate layoff and its ensuing exodus; as told thru interviews with the remaining elderly population. Historic facts spanning the Gold Rush and the 1980’s of Reagan’s presidential years, comments about “consciousness” and visuals of Cain & Abel, Zombies as “insatiable consumers” found in Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance sequence, and desert landscape of the Pinnacles National Monument and Death Valley, display an American mindset that effects war and its economic circles, the housing crisis and global financial change, and the love for consumer products and celebrity

  • Kaleidoscopic Visions: Films by Saul Levine

The films represent roughly three of Saul’s major formal approaches to the small gauge formats of Regular 8mm (presented as a digital transfers and a 16mm blow up) and Super 8mm (presented in Super 8mm and 16mm blow ups).

  • Xcèntric: Transeúntes de veredas, bosques y sueños

    By on

    La experimentación de Malena Szlam, mediada por un proceso de documentación in situ, traslada el paisaje observado al espacio de la imagen en movimiento. El montaje directo en la cámara emancipa en tiempo presente la primera visión de bosques, astros, fuego y paisajes nocturnos, y los reproduce vibrantes, de tal modo que no alcanzamos a acostumbrarnos a ellos y permanecen. Partiendo del vínculo directo con la imagen, Pablo Mazzolo construye paradigmas formales, donde la imagen cinética y el sonido constituyen una misma unidad perceptiva. Sus films transitan los bordes entre lo real, el sueño y la visión intuitiva, confluyendo en una experiencia asociativa y sensorial diferente en cada uno. ENVÍOS, de Jeannette Muñoz, es un cine que deja de ser cine para convertirse en un espacio que nos muestra lo que fue, lo que es y lo que podría ser. ENVÍOS es sólo posible desde lo pequeño y lo singular. Son secuencias, eventos, historias, fragmentos, momentos, segundos. No posee objeto o sujeto, sus componentes son heterogéneos, de diferentes proveniencias y motivaciones. Habita simultáneamente lo íntimo y lo público, ha sido realizado con y/o para una persona y será presentado en una sala de cine.
