In collaboration with Shhh, the film festival of Monokino in Ostend (26 – 27 September), Art Cinema OFFoff is delighted to welcome filmmaker Adriana Vila Guevara.
Welcome to a screening with the Basel-based filmmaker and artist Hannes Schüpbach. Since the 1990’s, Schüpbach has created a dynamic work focusing on the fine-calibrated changes of the gestures, landscapes, bodies and light. In his 16mm films, we often encounter a peculiar movement between spontaneity, intimacy and a progestically fragmented work in which, as he expressed it—the “the surroundings meet the eye” — crystallizes a form that is unmistakable Schüpbachsk.
As part of the Subtropics 2025 Marathon at the Deering Estate Black Box Theater, Miami-based artist Barron Sherer premieres Sketch No. 2 Fire Station No. 9. This two-channel 16mm projection layers temporal and spatial impressions of the historic Kendall Jackson Hospital Annex with a sound composition by Archival Feedback. Produced by Sherer's Moving Image Alliance studio project and fiscally sponsored by Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places as part of Sherer's ongoing A.P.P. commission, "Sketch No. 2" is also now distributed through Canyon Cinema.

A selection of films in which the film's skin is lacerated, torn, cut, peeled off, and glued back together to create cinematic works that evoke sensations of memory, resurfacing buried memories. This program offers critical perspectives on images through the materials whose intimacy these films explore.
The Chicago Film Society is thrilled to announce programming for the third edition of Celluloid Now: four days of screenings and workshops showcasing the work of filmmakers and artists creating work in analog film formats, alongside archival rediscoveries and restorations.

Real-time cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated digital maps by Eric Theise, in collaboration with Ed Osborn’s real-time wrangling of live electronics and saturated field recordings. A visual wash of street grids, land masses, water bodies, and curiosities from built and natural environments. Resonant openings and switchbacks. Orphaned labels. Free-floating symbology. Difference tones and untethered drones. Saturated colors and the subtlest of tints. Jittery zooms, pans, and traversals. Noisy apertures and sonic fissures.
