  • Peter Hutton Tribute – Canyon Cinema Salon, led by Steve Anker

    By on

    “…For thirty years now, Peter Hutton has been building a radical and singular body of work. A sort of primitive documentary, silent, which celebrates the beauty of the world without forgetting to observe people, the conditions they live and work under…” – Cahiers du cinéma

    The loss of Peter Hutton in June robbed personal independent filmmaking of one of its great artists and teachers. Through nearly fifty years of 16mm filmmaking, Peter took one of the fundamental aspects of cinema, the fixed rectangular frame, and made it his primary artistic focus, a means of exploring vision and consciousness. Peter’s elegant compositions were silent windows that documented widely divergent locations as places of mysterious activity, filled with sensual forms and subtle rhythms. The 16mm camera was Peter’s sketchpad, and it accompanied him on his travels to many parts of the world. His sharp observational eye was critical and politically aware, and was always alert to marvels of the moment, visual details that the camera was able to record and that would normally be missed.

  • Los Angeles Filmforum presents: A Tribute to Tony Conrad

    By on

    Tony Conrad passed away earlier this year at the age of 76 after battling cancer. A pioneer in avant-garde music, film, and numerous other media, Conrad indelibly altered the course of contemporary art and thought. Last visiting Filmforum in 2005, Conrad was a constant icon for us, with his persistent curiosity and delight in old and new work, his humor and intelligence. We’ll miss him terribly. For this tribute, we’ll screen classic film and video works and host several speakers.

  • Note To Self: Psychosexual Films of Nazli Dincel

    By on

    Crater-Lab presents "Note To Self", a programme of 16mm films by Nazli Dinçel about psychosexuality, that she just presented at the FOCUS section in the FIDMarseille festival. Turkish filmmaker Nazly Dinçel will be present to talk about the programme and about her enquiry on psychosexuality and filmic matter.

    An evening of visceral and provocative handmade films that explore bodies, acts of the solitary, text, language, visual information and personal exposure. Nazli Dinçel’s work reflects on experiences of disruption. She records the body in context with arousal, immigration, dislocation and desire in juxtaposition with the medium’s material: texture, color and the passing of emulsion. Her use of text as image, language and sound attempts the failure of memory and her own displacement within a western society.

    Dates: 

    Thursday, July 21, 2016 - 21:00 to Friday, July 22, 2016 - 20:55

    Venue: 

    Crater Lab - Barcelona, Spain

  • Light Movement 14: Oracles

    By on
    Them Oracles (Alee Peoples, 2012)

    ORACLES: Films by Los Angeles Artists
    Selected by Andrew Kim in collaboration with Labor Berlin

    Messages can be obscure, and this might be the result of place: Los Angeles. Seemingly, there is no rhyme or reason ... or is there? One must look past the surface. This program represents an array of perspectives from Los Angeles area seers. Employing various formal approaches, these films attempt to see beyond face value. At once, these visions are unified by the spirit of experimentation and independent expression that characterizes the alternative cinema in Los Angeles.

    Dates: 

    Sunday, July 24, 2016 - 20:00 to Monday, July 25, 2016 - 19:55

    Venue: 

    SPEKTRUM - Berlin, Alemania

  • Sense and Sensuality: Bay Area Feminist Filmmaking of the 1980s

    By on
    Maternal Filigree (Sandra Davis, 1980)

    Much critical attention to women’s avant-garde filmmaking of the 1970s and 1980s focused on East coast and European feminist filmmakers, the critique of visual pleasure and the notion of the male gaze in cinema. In San Francisco, a new generation of feminist avant-garde filmmakers were emerging with a very different approach to questions of gender and pleasure in cinema.

    Dates: 

    Thursday, July 21, 2016 - 19:00 to Friday, July 22, 2016 - 18:55
