Nightingale Cinema: Josh Lewis & Simon Liu

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 21/09/2016 - 11:26

Nightingale Cinema presents Josh Lewis & Simon Liu
Recent 16mm Films from Negativland Lab

The Nightingale welcomes Josh Lewis & Simon Liu as they interweave a selection of their 16mm films made by hand at Negativland MPL, an artist-run film lab in New York City, overlapping in their affinity for experimental processing and printing techniques. With Lewis working predominantly in direct chemical manipulation of exposed film surfaces, and Liu utilizing a roaming impressionistic camera paired with multiple passes on a contact printer, the program establishes the centrality of the Film Lab both as an epistemic concept and as a practical mode of production. Each film emerges out of a continual and rapid cycle of exposing, processing, projecting, repeat. As such, the films here are rarely the culmination of a process, but rather worthy points extracted from ongoing lines of investigation.

Filmmakers in attendance!

Dates:
Thursday, September 29, 2016 - 19:00 to Friday, September 30, 2016 - 18:55

Nightingale Cinema: Erin Espelie's The Lanthanide Series

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 19/09/2016 - 04:41

The Nightingale welcomes Erin Espelie to present her experimental documentary about rare earth elements (the lanthanides), black mirrors (from obsidian to iPads), and how technology is reshaping the way we record the present and replay the past.

From the portals of personal computing devices to ancient obsidian mirrors, optical tools control how people see, foresee, record, and remember their lives. The Lanthanide Series meditates on how we frame and understand the world through such material means and instruments, with a reliance on certain chemical elements and the people who we love.

Dates:
Thursday, September 22, 2016 - 19:00 to Friday, September 23, 2016 - 18:55

The Nightingale - Chicago, United States

Cineinfinito #3: José Val del Omar

With an extraordinary artistic and technological talent, José Val del Omar was a 'believer in cinema' inspired by new horizons that he formulated in the term PLAT – representing the totalizing concept of a 'Picto-Luminic-Audio-Tactile' art – apart from being a contemporary and a comrade of Lorca, Cernuda, Renau, Zambrano and other figures of a Silver Age of the Spanish culture, interrupted by the Civil War.

No Place Like Home: The Films of Karen Yasinsky

By Anonymous on Thu, 15/09/2016 - 03:31

Edge of Frame presents a programme of animated films by Karen Yasinsky.

Karen Yasinsky is a Baltimore-based artist working primarily with animation and drawing. Moving from painting into animation in the late 1990s, her early films feature stop-motion puppets inhabiting strange, drifting zones of reverie, hovering on the verge of something unsettling and unknowable. As her films develop into exquisite drawn animation and more sophisticated stop-motion, they increasingly refer to scenes or moments from certain canonical films, such as The Wizard of Oz, Bresson’s Au Hazard Balthazar and Jean Vigo’s L’Atalante.

Dates:
Sunday, October 9, 2016 - 20:00 to Monday, October 10, 2016 - 19:55
Venue:
Close-Up Cinema - London, United Kingdom

18th Paris Festival for Different and Experimental Cinemas

By Anonymous on Mon, 12/09/2016 - 09:56

The 18th edition of the Paris Festival for Different and Experimental Cinemas presents six competitive programs and a series of peripheral events around the theme "Humor & Facéties".The surrealists used to find their daily inspiration in cinema, although not in the serious productions, but more in burlesque films or in extravagant serials. This explains the strong presence of the extraordinary and rip-roaring dimensions in avant-garde films. Many experimental filmmakers after them kept and nourished this taste for humour. For this year's edition, we invite our audience to discover this domain -the less austere of the vast world of creation- through different focus events.

Dates:
Tuesday, October 4, 2016 (All day) to Sunday, October 16, 2016 (All day)
