  • Kickstarter campign: INCITE! #3

    By on

    Incite 3: New agesThe third issue of INCITE! Journal of Experimental Media, titled "New Ages" aims at addressing the generational shifts and divides in today’s experimental film, video, and new media spheres, utilizing the 2010 International Experimental Media Congress as an opportunity for reflection. In addition to compiling a dossier of idiosyncratic reflections on the Congress, this issue also focuses on the renewed fascination with "New Age" spirituality, philosophy and aesthetics among contemporary media artists. Some highlights of this issue include Walter Forsberg's wide-ranging essay about the computer animation (and accidental 3D) pioneer Lillian Schwartz, Thomas Beard's astute analysis of Shana Moulton's "Whispering Pines" video serial, a Jacob Ciocci and Jesse McLean "G-Chat," Jaimz Asmundson on his new film, "The Magus", Marisa Olson on Transcendentalism, and Brian L. Frye's citation study of "The New York Times", which measures the relative importance of avant-garde filmmakers.

    To cover publication costs, INCITE! has launched a Kickstarter campaign. You can help release this great publication with a small donation and even get past issues of INCITE!, experimental film DVDs or a silkscreened print of George Kuchar's portrait by Leslie Supnet in return.

    Contributors to this issue include: Dominic Angerame, Jaimz Asmundson, Jeremy Bailey, Christina Battle, Thomas Beard, Roger Beebe, Michael Betancourt, Mireille Bourgeois, Jacob Ciocci and Jesse McLean, Clint Enns, Walter Forsberg, Brian L. Frye, Benj Gerdes, Brett Kashmere, Eliza Koch, Kevin McGarry, James Missen, Shana Moulton, Peter Nowogrodzki, Marisa Olson, Andrew James Paterson, Ken Paul Rosenthal, Ekrem Serdar, Leslie Supnet, Tess Takahashi. Cover design by Jacob Ciocci.

  • Carta del director del Festival Punto de Vista

    By on

    Support Punto de Vista FestivalPara aquellos de vosotros que aún no conozcáis este gran festival, Punto de Vista es posiblemente el mejor festival de cine de España. dedicado al 'cine documental', mantiene una mirada crítica, apoyando los enfoques arriesgados y no narrativos, y con un fuerte énfasis en el cine experimental. La semana pasada le fue comunicado a Josetxo Cerdán, su director artísitico, que devido a fuertes recortes de presupuesto (a pesar del cacareado 'compromiso con la cultura' del partido governante), el festival dejaría de existir...

    El Festival Punto de Vista Festival ha proyectado la obra deRaymond Depardon, Jean Vigo, David Perlov, Jay Rosenblatt, Alan Berliner, J. P. Sniadecki, James Benning, Naomi Uman, Lynne Sachs, Ben Rivers, Ross McElwee, Satô Makoto, Jem Cohen, Barbara Hammer, Ben Russell, entre muchos otros...

  • Owen Land (1944-2011)

    By on

    Owen LandSad announcement sent out by Office Baroque Gallery.

    Dear Friends,

    It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of American filmmaker and artist Owen Land. Owen Land was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1944 under the name George Landow and was found dead in his apartment in Los Angeles on 8 June, 2011.

    Land debuted as an experimental filmmaker in the 1960's with a critique of structural film. When Land was barely twenty years old, he produced some early masterpieces like Film in Which There Appear Edge Lettering, Sprocket Holes, Dirt Particles, Etc. (1965-66), which contains exactly what the title promises. A Kodak test film used to adjust colour balance serves as the basic material. Land recomposes it and extends it into a four-minute loop, the result, in which P. Adams Sitney saw “the essence of minimal cinema”, no less – “a found object extended to a simple structure”.

  • MRes Art: Moving Image

    By on

    Threshold (Malcolm Le Grice, 1972)Central Saint Martins College y LUX colaboran en este master que comienza el próximo mes de octubre, muy posiblemente el único en su ámbito, al tratar el ámbito téorico de la imagen en movimiento en lugar de su práctica. Durante las sesenta semanas de su duración (dos cursos académicos), el master se centrará en "(el) entendimiento de la imagen en movimiento como un campo de estudio discursivo y en evolución... En lugar de seguir trayectorias históricas preestablecidas, el curso presenta la serie integrada de proyecciones, seminarios y lecturas textuales de obras clave que abordan un amplio arco de posiciones teóricas y contextos históricos".

  • Canyon Cinema: Important Message to the Film Community

    By on

    Canyon CinemaTo the Film Community:

    This is a very serious letter.  It was emailed to our filmmaker members and we would like to share this with the larger community.  It concerns the survival of Canyon Cinema. As most of you probably know, film rentals over the past few years have been steadily declining. This is a result of the proliferation of digital media. Many of Canyon’s major filmmakers who have brought substantial income to the organization have now made their work available in digital formats. Many of our renters, especially in universities, no longer have access to adequate film projection. Often after the purchase of a DVD, instructors of cinema studies continue to use the digital media and forsake the renting of the original 16mm prints. This is partly due to their own dwindling rental budgets and the lack of well functioning projectors.

     

    Read the full letter at Canyon Cinema's website.
