  • VISIONS 12|15: Stephen Connolly | Itinerant Spaces

    By on

    VISIONS presents: Itinerant Spaces - The films of Stephen Connolly

    Stephen Connolly’s work falls within the tradition of artists’ cinematic exploration of landscapes with a twist - his camera is interested in following the infrastructure of places to reveal their political plasticity. The work, shot on 16mm and more recently on digital, engages with the motion of people and places as metaphors for social forces slowing into form.

    Microcinéma être - Montreal, Canadá

  • Directors Lounge Screening: Dagie Brundert - going all natural

    By on

    Dagie Brundert makes films like some singer songwriters compose songs: with an almost weekly regularity, inspired by the small occurrences of everyday life and always blended with the joys of life and with her own charm. For the artist, who committed herself mostly for super-8 film, simplicity is a must. Simplicity of means, low budget in production and improvised settings.

    Dates: 

    Sunday, December 13, 2015 - 20:00 to Monday, December 14, 2015 - 19:55

    Venue:

  • Another Experiment by Women Film Festival - 6th year

    By on

    Another Experiment by Women Film Festival promotes and screens moving images in any media, made by women, that encourage critical thinking and dialogue. AXWFF is looking for experimental shorts made by WOMEN that present their own vision of movie making — we want to see something different and unique — challenge us to rethink what “experimental” means on your terms, outside of any standard form. By “film” we refer to a moving image, made with any media, that presents a transformative action or thought. Work that that has been shot by the artist and is under 20 minutes, has a better chance of being accepted as we have limited screening time.

    Dates: 

    Friday, February 19, 2016 (All day)
  • Never Twice: Live Expanded Cinema Performance

    By on

    December 11, 2015 – January 10, 2016 With Lary 7, Bradley Eros, Barbara Hammer, Ken Jacobs, Rose Kallal, Andrew Lampert, Bruce McClure, Joel Schlemowitz

    Microscope is extremely pleased to present “Never Twice”, an exhibition of live moving image performance in the context of what is usually referred to as expanded cinema: works free from the constraints or presenting alternatives to the traditional theatrical screening setting – single projection on a screen before an audience. The title of the exhibit, a reference to the quote from Heraclitus “one cannot step into the same river twice”, emphasizes the ephemeral character of this art form, one always intrinsically connected to a “here” and “now”, a multi-sensorial experience that although it may be performed again, it cannot ever be replicated.

    Dates: 

    Friday, December 11, 2015 (All day) to Sunday, January 10, 2016 (All day)

    Venue: 

    Microscope Gallery - New York, United States

  • Ricardo Nicolayevsky: Portraits in Movement

    By on

    The Center for Digital Culture pays tribute to Ricardo Nicolayevsky, an artist whose work marks a milestone in audiovisual experimentation and the intersection of cinema and the performing arts.  Drawing from different genres and practices, from cabaret, to musical composition, performance art, and improvisation, Nicolayevsky’s work reveals the promiscuous possibilities of the moving image, creating delirious cinematic atmospheres and experiences that seek to subvert conventional modes of viewing and making cinema.

    This three-part retrospective celebrates his diligently un-disciplinary practice.

    Dates: 

    Wednesday, December 16, 2015 (All day) to Thursday, January 7, 2016 (All day)

    Venue: 

    Centro de Cultura Digital - Mexico D.F., Mexico
