Filmadrid 2015

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 01/06/2015 - 17:36

Filmadrid International Film Festival (June 5-13, Madrid) is a newborn festival with the "determination to discover new paths in the landscape of contemporary cinematography". And as such, in its very first edition, presents a very strong commitment with experimental cinema. Eighteen works, feature and short films, will participate in the avant-garde competition, including pieces by Basma Alsharif, Laida Lertxundi, Juan Daniel F. Molero, Pablo Marín and Aura Satz, among others. Four 'guest programmes' complement the avant-garde section, featuring a series of animated non-fiction shorts curated by Elena Duque ('The missing image'); a programme curated by Albert Alcoz & Alberto Cabrera Bernal, filmmakers and editors of the Angular DVD label, who will also present its first release; a session dedicated to veteran filmmaker Adolpho Arrietta; and a series of works on the poems of Galician poet Xosé María Díaz Castro titled 'Proxecto Nimbos'. The Vanguardias Live section challenges several artists to create performative works in ways that they haven't thought of/worked with before; this edition will include performances by Juan Barrero, Lois Patiño and Salomé Lamas.

Dates:
Friday, June 5, 2015 (All day) to Saturday, June 13, 2015 (All day)

The month of May brings to the Projection Space two cinematic works on color grading and color printing by London based artist Aura Satz.

Soundfigures: Films by Aura Satz

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 22/04/2015 - 17:23

(Near) extinct technologies make sound visible in this program of shorts that delve into ideas of knowledge, memory, and communication. On a Chladni Plate, a device that marked the birth of acoustics, grains of sand, moving like Busby Berkeley dancers, form intricate patterns in response to changing sound frequencies, their shapes recalling the utopian quest for a “pure,” onomatopoeic alphabet. Wax cylinder recordings combine with modern scientific instruments to animate a text by Rainer Maria Rilke on the possibility of hearing the dead by playing their skulls with a gramophone needle. A histrionic voice-over, translated into a wave of small flames on a Ruben’s Tube, provokes unexpected associations, from the biblical burning bush to various acts of ventriloquism in pop culture...

Unconscious Archives: The Perfect Medium is the Wrong Message Part 1

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 15/10/2013 - 15:16

Exploring the dual meaning of ‘mediation’ within performance – the physicality of interpretation, and the psychogeographic mode of ritual (intervention, ghost/shadow, chemical/hack, seance/spook and invocation as divergent themes).

The fleeting trick of light from the corner of the eye, the brief contact point of chemicals intertwining and reacting, ghosts trapped in the home movie archive, non-human sounds and bodily digressions – ephemerality as told through the body’s appearance/disappearance.

Malcolm Le Grice’s seminal expanded cinema and rarely seen Horror Film 1 from 1971 will be performed beside new contemporary live light sculpture from emerging artist Amy Dickson. Renowned artist Aura Satz presents a unique sonic sculpture from her treasure trove, Sally Golding performs her classic projection piece Face of An Other, and Britain’s most under rated and detestable, accidental comic thespian Sir Gideon Vein brings us some live TV.
