Xcèntric: Tom Chomont / Robert Beavers. Un jardín de espejos

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 22/01/2024 - 04:43

La intimidad, los afectos y los intercambios creativos entre Tom Chomont y Robert Beavers quedan materializados en estas películas en las que ambos cineastas desarrollan paralelamente la posibilidad de un cine lírico en la frontera entre el retrato y el drama psicológico, el erotismo y la estilización formal. Sus frenéticas meditaciones nos ofrecen visiones complementarias de la escisión del sujeto y la exploración de la sexualidad.

Come Down: A Film Screening

By Anonymous on Mié, 27/06/2018 - 06:00

A Collaboration between the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre and Queer Media Database bring you rarely seen 16mm gems!

This program approaches the historical role of Queer cultural production in the formation of our senses of self. In a time when feelings are facts and there is a broader questioning of the primacy of First-Person Narrative Truth, we take this opportunity for a post-Pride breather to make meaning of our queer realities. This program is made up of a selection of 16mm film from the CFMDC collection that speak not only to the times in which they were produced but also to the complex political landscape we find ourselves in now.

Robert Beavers
In a career spanning five decades, Robert Beavers has distinguished himself as one of the most important American avant-garde filmmakers. From My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure, his cycle of 18 films made across Europe since 1967, to Pitcher of Colored Light (2007) and The Suppliant (2010), intimate portraits shot in the U.S., Beavers has produced a deeply original film language framed by his use of colored filters and mattes.

Dirty Looks is thrilled to present the work of Warren Sonbert and Tom Chomont, two key figures in queer and underground film. From the late sixties until their untimely deaths (in 1995 and 2010, respectively) Warren Sonbert and Tom Chomont made some of the most innovative and thrilling film and video diaries around. Documenting queer experience from wild sixties drug cultures to the regressive, Reaganite years of the early AIDS crisis, these lyrical works delve into the quotidian, showcasing explicit drug use, S&M rituals, kittens at play, hardcore sexuality, and Grace Jones.

Sonbert codirected his first film, Amphetamine, with Wendy Appel, while still a teenager. At the time of its release in 1967, the Village Voice praised Amphetamine as "a heart-stopping film … completely symptomatic of the filmmaking revolution." An ecstatic ode to queer sex and drugs, its two boys shooting up and kissing to a Supremes soundtrack, Amphetamine marked the arrival of Sonbert on the underground film scene. Divided Loyalties showcases the brilliant camera work and rapid editing Sonbert is famous for, leading Amy Taubin to praise it as his "most complex and richest film to date," upon its release. Honor and Obey questions all forms of male-dominated authority, military, religious, familial.
