  • Xcèntric: Ciertas observaciones

    By on

    Como si se tratara de un observatorio científico, esta sesión reúne un conjunto de películas experimentales que intentan captar las formas efímeras, las variaciones de la apariencia de las cosas, la modulación de la luz y las transformaciones del color en el paisaje.

    A través de distintas técnicas de filmación (planos fijos, time lapse o filtros) y diversos tratamientos del film en el laboratorio (solarizaciones, tintados, virados o sobreimpresiones), las imágenes se vuelven ilusiones ópticas del mundo natural, lienzos en movimiento que se transfiguran y adquieren una gran plasticidad.

  • Young Austrian Avant-Garde Films - the films of filmkoop wien

    By on

    Founded in 2008 by filmmakers with a love for celluloid - the filmkoop wien is the only artist-run film lab in Austria. The collective's mission is to support film arts and offer the space for cinematic experiments. Invited by Canadian filmmaker Madi Piller the filmkoop wien is very happy to present - for the first time in Toronto - a full program of films produced in this lab, created by the hands of its members. The program shows films in Super8, 16mm and 35mm format and aims to present a glimpse of recent Austrian Avant-Garde films created by the young generation.

    Stefanie Weberhofer will be there for a Q&A afterwards. Friendly supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Ottawa.

  • DIM Cinema: Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer

    By on

    Thom Andersen’s extraordinary meditation on the nature of vision, a project that began as a UCLA film thesis for which the aspiring filmmaker re-photographed thousands of Muybridge images, is “at once a biography of Muybridge, a re-animation of his historic sequential photographs, and an inspired examination of their philosophical implications…The ‘zoopraxography’ of the title speaks to both Muybridge’s practice of motion study — as distinct from photography — and his 1879 device, which enabled the images’ projection.

  • Light Movement 12: Vincent Grenier

    By on

    Light Movement presents in collaboration with Arsenal Berlin: Vincent Grenier
    curated by Ute Aurand and James Edmonds

    This month we are very lucky to be able to offer you this incredible double program from Vincent Grenier, who will be present at the Arsenal and visits us as part of a tour of Europe. Grenier originates from Quebec City in Canada, but has spent much of his time living in New York, as well as being highly active in the Montreal Art scene of the 70's and 80's. Since the 70's he has made experimental films, creating a body of distinct work on 16mm, before branching out into HD cinema at the end of the 90's, furthering his facination with uncertain spaces, unexpected shifts in filmic constructions and "visual movements comprised of both experiential and physical interactions with the image and philosophical queries into the nature of representation."

  • China Girls in Experimental Film

    By on

    The “China Girl,” sometimes called a “China Doll” or “girl head” is a type of reference image used in commercial film laboratories since the late 1920s and continuing in limited used today. The China Girl has appeared in more films than any actress, though, outside of the film laboratory, she is rarely seen. Behind the scenes, however, she is essential to setting the appearance of a film, determining exposure, image density, and color balance. While the China Girl is a crucial part of the film production process, her essential role in film history has been most often overlooked.

  • Xcèntric: The Beauty of My Island. El universo de Klaus Lutz

    By on

    De la mano de Hannes Schüpbach nos adentraremos en el universo del artista suizo Klaus Lutz (1940-2009), a través de la proyección simultánea de sus películas sobre una pantalla y un globo, una charla acerca de su obra y un documental de Frank Matter relativo a su proceso creativo.

    La enigmática obra de Klaus Lutz se sitúa entre las meditaciones de un recluso y las fantasías de un visionario utópico. Con reminiscencias de Georges Méliès, Chaplin, las vanguardias rusas y la Bauhaus, y con cierto aire futurista, sus películas son misteriosos paisajes mentales que desarrollan cuentos casi mitológicos acerca de un hombre que habita un mundo extraño y solitario. El protagonista, el propio Lutz, vuela sobre ciudades imaginarias y pasea por el espacio interestelar interactuando con signos y dibujos antropomorfos, todo filmado y montado en cámara en el pequeño apartamento de Manhattan donde vivía.
