David Haxton (b. 1943, Indianapolis, Indiana) is an artist who works primarily in Photography and Film. His films from the 1970’s and early 1980’s were made mostly in negative, with a static camera position, and were made in one take. In these films the space filmed is revealed gradually by a performer, while the intrinsic flatness of the illuminated screen is maintained.

In many of the films by Arthur and Corinne Cantrill there are no stories, no characters, but we are facing the landscape and its research done through cinema, with a materialistic and ecological concern. Shifting the landscape from the background to the foreground has posed many challenges to these Australian filmmakers, which led them to develop different filming strategies, relating the filmic forms with the forms of the places.

Hypnotic and visceral, Sonic Cinema is a wild hypersensory experience. The films in this program explore the outer limits of perception, embodiment and cognition using experimental animation techniques, chemical interventions, powerful soundtracks, magnetic pulsations and beyond. Raw intensity and pure energy into the ontology of the moving image.
The Peephole Cinema in San Francisco is proud to present “Hofreh” a collection of videos showcasing Iranian artists who live and work in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz and Khoramabad. The title of this show is a Persian word that translates to hole or cavity and also applies to the word for eye socket. It’s a fitting title for works that respond to the Peephole Cinema’s unique space: videos that loop inside a hole in a wall located street side on a building in the Mission District.

In this last year I have been developing a transmedia science fiction film project called Project Chimera, which addresses how to recover memory and feelings in a world that view them as outdated practices.
In 2055, as a consequence of the technologization of life, a global government system applied a memory and feelings erasure device to facilitate order and generate the energy that posthuman communities need to live on the periphery of the large territories in which the world is divided.
Three upcoming screenings of systematic experimental cinema by Simon Payne with Nicky Hamlyn, Neil Henderson and Jennifer Nightingale at Close-Up (London), BEEF/Cube Cinema (Bristol) and Light Cone/Scratch Projections (Paris).
