Xcèntric: Antoni Pinent - Experimental sketches

By Marcos Ortega on Sat, 28/12/2013 - 18:51

Set in the field of experimental cinema, the films of Antoni Pinent are a kind of reflection on the cinematographic medium, where the material aspects of moving images form the content. Over the years, he has developed a very particular camera-less cinema, working directly on the support and fragmenting its smallest unit, the still, in a technique he calls “polyframe”, which he has used to make his latest films. This task of décollage using filmic materiality and presenting the film as something concrete that you can work on with your hands is a reference to the cinema of attractions, that powerful visual experience packed with punches, shocks and humour of early film. This session will present some of his works in a dialogue with others by Volker Schreiner, Christoph Girardet and Matthias Müller, Morgan Fisher, David Matarasso and Peter Tscherkassky; some have been an important influence, others introduce concepts to reflect on his work.

Courtisane Festival 2010

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 08/03/2010 - 06:36
The ninth edition of the Courtisane Film Festival, that will be held next March 17-21 in the Belgian city of Gent promises to be one of the most interesting events of the year. Just the 39 films and videos included in the official competition make it a worthy trip, with the latest works by Ben Rivers, Phil Solomon, David Gatten, Peter Rose, Rosa Barba and many more.

The festival will feature two thematic evenings of performances, installations and screenings: Night Vision will explore 'the dynamics between visibility and invisibility, light and darkness, seeing the night and seeing in the night', with performances by Paul Clipson & William Fowler Collins, Phantom Limb & Earth's Hypnagogia and Pieter Geenen; Surface Tension will investigate 'the folds and fissures between perception and conscience, experience and meaning' with performances by Dominique Petitgand, Karen Mirza, Brad Butler & David Cunningham and Paul Abbott with Seymour Wright & Ross Lambert. The section 'Artist in focus' will invite filmmakers Morgan Fisher, David Gatten and David O'Reilly to present a partial retrospective of their work and a 'carte blanche' programme. Morgan Fisher will also give a master class on the 23rd.

Independent Film Show 2009: Morgan Fisher

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 22/09/2009 - 16:20
Morgan Fisher Films
Independent Film Show 2009
3 - 7 November 2009, Napoli (Italy)
This programme will be introduced by Morgan Fisher.
Curated by Stoffel Debuysere and Maria Palacios Cruz.

The 16mm films of Morgan Fisher (US, 1942) – straightforward, elegant, playful – are particularly idiosyncratic; they are situated both outside the film industry and the central developments of avant-garde cinema. Too minimal and conceptual for Hollywood’s taste; too concerned with the specifics of industry procedures for the underground. Via Diagonal Thoughts.
