  • VISIONS 08|16 - Nicolás Pereda

    By on

    In collaboration with la lumière collective, VISIONS presents SUMMER OF GOLIATH + MINOTAURO by Nicolás Pereda.

    "A rising star of contemporary Mexican cinema, Nicolás Pereda (b. 1982) is a central figure in a diverse group of Ibero-American directors whose innovative approaches to narrative filmmaking over the last ten years have together defined one of the most exciting trends in world cinema. Pereda’s films are resolutely Mexican in focus and almost exclusively deal with stories drawn directly from the everyday lives and worlds of their working-class characters.” -Haden Guest - Harvard Film Archive

  • Seeing Double: Films by Antonia Kuo and Lily Jue Sheng

    By on

    The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) is pleased to present
    Seeing Double: Films by Antonia Kuo and Lily Jue Sheng
    Kuo and Sheng in attendance

    Antonia Kuo and Lily Jue Sheng are visiting artists from Brooklyn collaborating at LIFT from July 4 to August 17. This screening will present a number of their single and dual channel 16mm films—including Chromoflux, Seeing Double and Point, Line, Plane—as well as showcasing the work that they've done while in residency at LIFT. Their films explore the fleeting temporality of an immersive optical experience, emphasizing oscillating, flickering compositions that exploit the frame-by-frame structure of 16mm film through in-camera and stop-motion collage animation and mirror the visual world of their parallel practices in print-making and photography. The frenetic pace of shifting abstractions create visual unrest, mirroring the unstable flux inherent in natural systems, spanning all scales of matter.

  • Peter Hutton Tribute – Canyon Cinema Salon, led by Steve Anker

    By on

    “…For thirty years now, Peter Hutton has been building a radical and singular body of work. A sort of primitive documentary, silent, which celebrates the beauty of the world without forgetting to observe people, the conditions they live and work under…” – Cahiers du cinéma

    The loss of Peter Hutton in June robbed personal independent filmmaking of one of its great artists and teachers. Through nearly fifty years of 16mm filmmaking, Peter took one of the fundamental aspects of cinema, the fixed rectangular frame, and made it his primary artistic focus, a means of exploring vision and consciousness. Peter’s elegant compositions were silent windows that documented widely divergent locations as places of mysterious activity, filled with sensual forms and subtle rhythms. The 16mm camera was Peter’s sketchpad, and it accompanied him on his travels to many parts of the world. His sharp observational eye was critical and politically aware, and was always alert to marvels of the moment, visual details that the camera was able to record and that would normally be missed.

  • Los Angeles Filmforum presents: A Tribute to Tony Conrad

    By on

    Tony Conrad passed away earlier this year at the age of 76 after battling cancer. A pioneer in avant-garde music, film, and numerous other media, Conrad indelibly altered the course of contemporary art and thought. Last visiting Filmforum in 2005, Conrad was a constant icon for us, with his persistent curiosity and delight in old and new work, his humor and intelligence. We’ll miss him terribly. For this tribute, we’ll screen classic film and video works and host several speakers.

    "Bruce McClure’s film projector is a weapon. Its ammunition is raw light. Darkness is both its adversary and its matrix. Radiant blasts inflame the theatre of perception. The void retaliates. This is a cinema of thunder and lightening." – OtherFilm

    Massart Film Society presents,
    Josh Deveau - Relics
    A series of scenes from his work of the last 5 years

    Josh Deveau - A Greater Boston based artist/film maker, MassArt ’13 Alumni. His work focuses on his offbeat, absurd, in your face sense of humor. Described as “deeply tongue-in-cheek camp melodramas”, his work provokes viewers to laugh, though the way you laugh will vary from the standard ‘LOL’ to the less popular ‘Face Palm, Head Shake, and Giggle’.

  • Note To Self: Films sobre Psicosexualidad de Nazly Dinçel

    By on

    Crater-Lab presenta "Note To Self" un programa de películas en 16mm de Nazli Dinçel sobre psicosexualidad, que presentó en el festival FIDMarseille en la sección FOCUS. La realizadora turca, Nazly Dinçel estará presente para hablar sobre el programa y su linea de investigación sobre psicosexualidad y materia fílmica.

    Una noche de películas viscerales y provocadoras hechas a mano que exploran cuerpos, actos de aislamiento, texto, lenguaje, información visual y exposición personal. El trabajo de Nazli Dinçel reflexiona sobre experiencias de perturbación. Filma el cuerpo en el contexto de la excitación, inmigración, la dislocación y el deseo en yuxtaposición con la materialidad del medio: la textura, el color y el paso de la emulsión. Su uso del texto como imagen, lenguaje y sonido, enfrenta el fracaso de la memoria y su propio desplazamiento dentro de una sociedad occidental.

    ORACLES: Films by Los Angeles Artists
    Selected by Andrew Kim in collaboration with Labor Berlin

    Messages can be obscure, and this might be the result of place: Los Angeles. Seemingly, there is no rhyme or reason ... or is there? One must look past the surface. This program represents an array of perspectives from Los Angeles area seers. Employing various formal approaches, these films attempt to see beyond face value. At once, these visions are unified by the spirit of experimentation and independent expression that characterizes the alternative cinema in Los Angeles.
