  • The Dream That Kicks presents GAZWRX, the films of Jeff Keen

    By on

    The fiercely original British film-maker, poet and artist Jeff Keen, defied categorisation. He produced a vast body of paintings, drawings, sculpture and punchy Beat poetry, but is best known for his films, which incorporated collage, animation, found footage and live action – often all in one work. Films were shot with his friends and family either at home, on the streets of Brighton or at the local waste tip; their fantastical, DIY countercultural qualities evoked the spirit of Andy Warhol's Factory and the early cinema pioneers of Brighton, where Keen lived. He completed more than 70 films and videos throughout his life. Keen died in June 2012.

    Dates: 

    Sunday, December 18, 2016 - 18:00 to Monday, December 19, 2016 - 17:55

  • Cineinfinito #8: Rick Hancox

    By on

    Rick Hancox, filmmaker, film teacher, musician (born in Toronto, January 1, 1946). Hancox grew up in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island. All three locations have informed his poetic and finely crafted experimental documentaries, which fuse personal landscapes with issues of time, memory and history.

    Hancox was introduced to film at the University of Prince Edward Island by American documentary filmmaker George Semsel. He went on to do graduate work in film and photography at New York University and at Ohio University, where he earned an MFA in film in 1973. During that period his short films won five major awards in the Canadian Student Film Festival. After working briefly in New York as an independent filmmaker, Hancox went on to teach film at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ont (1973-85).

  • Bradley Eros & Jeanne Liotta: Subverted Horseplay

    By on

    Artists Bradley Eros and Jeanne Liotta, former partners in art and life, reunite to perform together for the first time in over fifteen years. 

    In “Subverted Horseplay” (1994-97), the last performance work of their nearly decade-long collaboration Mediamystics, the mythology of Cowboys and Indians as derived from Hollywood movies and other mass media is subverted through manipulations of the projectors and other interventions that as described by the artists alter and result in the opening of “these fixed iconic pictures to a shifting resonance within their cultural reception”.

    Dates:

    Venue: 

    Microscope Gallery - New York, United States
  • Turbidus Film #17: Jerome Hiler

    By on

    Turbidus Film and Fylkingen present, as a part of Kortfilmsdagen, three films by Jerome Hiler. The films by Hiler blend a beauteous celebration of the sensual world with a deep sense of introspection and solitude. They are occasions for reflection and meditation, on light, landscape, time and the motions of consciousness. For example, In the Stone House literally compiles physically fragile and intensely poignant footage shot during the same period chronicled in Nathaniel Dorsky's Hours for Jerome (1967-1971).

    Dates: 

    Wednesday, December 21, 2016 - 19:00 to Thursday, December 22, 2016 - 18:55

    Venue: 

    Fylkingen - Stockholm, Sweden
  • Close-Up Cinema: Transgression

    By on

    Karel Doing presents a programme exploring cinematic mischief, with a collection of works that undermine and disrupt contemporary political discourse whilst providing a counterpoint to aestheticism – a tonic for the modern malaise. This selection brings together films from across Europe to reveal surprising links between disparate makers and thinkers – followed by a discussion with the filmmakers about their outspoken and radical positions.

    Dates: 

    Saturday, December 10, 2016 - 20:00 to Sunday, December 11, 2016 - 19:55

    Venue: 

    Close-Up Cinema - London, United Kingdom
  • Mire: Mechanics of the Copy

    By on

    This special session is the launch of the "Re-engineering the industry" program, dedicated to a Mire laboratory machine, the Debrie contact printer, which makes it possible to copy 16mm film. In the coming months, masterclass, workshop and artist residency will aim at a dialogue between artists and technicians in order to perpetuate and develop the use of machinery abandoned by the film industry and to reappropriate its use for artistic purposes.

    Dates: 

    Thursday, December 15, 2016 - 21:00 to Friday, December 16, 2016 - 20:55

    Venue: 

    Le Cinématographe - Nantes, France
