No Place Like Home: The Films of Karen Yasinsky

By Anonymous on Thu, 15/09/2016 - 03:31

Edge of Frame presents a programme of animated films by Karen Yasinsky.

Karen Yasinsky is a Baltimore-based artist working primarily with animation and drawing. Moving from painting into animation in the late 1990s, her early films feature stop-motion puppets inhabiting strange, drifting zones of reverie, hovering on the verge of something unsettling and unknowable. As her films develop into exquisite drawn animation and more sophisticated stop-motion, they increasingly refer to scenes or moments from certain canonical films, such as The Wizard of Oz, Bresson’s Au Hazard Balthazar and Jean Vigo’s L’Atalante.

Mike Hoolboom: Incident Reports

By Marcos Ortega on Sun, 11/09/2016 - 16:53

Filmmaker Mike Hoolboom in person!

Filmforum is honored to welcome Toronto-based artist, writer, curator, poet, thinker, and filmmaker Mike Hoolboom for the Los Angeles premiere of his brand new feature, Incident Reports. (Hoolboom will also be showing a selection of short works at REDCAT on Monday, 9/19.)

Mike Hoolboom has forged a singular artistic and curatorial identity over the past few decades, as his various creative, intellectual, pedagogical, and research practices have overlapped and interwoven, along with the circumstances and experiences of his own life. As a result, encountering Hoolboom's work – whether through his films, his criticism, his curating, his teaching, etc. -- is something akin to experiencing a rich, intricate, and irreducible slice of Hoolboom himself.

Peter Hutton, In Memory

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 06/09/2016 - 03:15

Peter Hutton (1944-2016) was a revered filmmaker and teacher whose life and work had a lasting impact on generations of moving-image artists. His films, which he modestly compared to looking at photo albums or daydreaming, are remarkably reserved, often creating profoundly moving portraits of cities and landscapes from little more than subtly shifting plays of light. His themes were focused and few—the city, the sea, and the landscape, especially the Hudson River Valley—and he brought a keen eye to them all, producing luminous images that seem to float upon the screen.

Originally from Philadelphia Kate McCabe studied Experimental Animation at CalArts, where she now is assistant of legendary US-american filmmaker Pat O'Neill.

When not making books or chasing lightning storms with her camera, Kate works on her sketch comic 'Mojave Weather Diaries'. She says "When I work with film, I play with light and time, rhythm and shadow."

By Anonymous on Sun, 04/09/2016 - 15:17
