Screenings

  • Magasinet Walden: Mary Helena Clark

    By on

    Magasinet Walden presents a screening dedicated to the work of Mary Helena Clark. Born in 1983, for 10 years she has produced a wealth of substantial works. Her films are characterized by an unusual dualistic approach where a rigorous formalist work, which spins further on the structuralist film's ideas and practices, combines with an interest in magic and illusionism. We show Clark's overall filmography, together with Robert Breer's Breathing (1963) and Blake Williams' Something Horizontal (2015), two films that Clark has chosen to include in the programme.

  • Suriname, Saarland and Surabaya – Three Films by Karel Doing

    By on

    Close-Up is delighted to present three films by filmmaker Karel Doing. Doing makes expanded cinema, multi-screen, performative, cross-media and participatory works. His single screen works and installations are often the result of these processes and collaborations. He has worked together with individuals, groups and organisations in many European countries and in Indonesia, Suriname and the USA. His main interest is to reconnect seemingly implausible links: urban/nature, music/maths, passion/ratio, analogue/digital. The films presented in this programme combines documentary with experimental techniques.

  • Art, Artists and Film

    By on

    The strict separation between art forms belongs to the past. In a continuous cross-fertilization, different art forms inspire, influence and reinforce each other, although sometimes they can not let to ruff or laugh with the other. During the first part of the evening we highlight artists whose practices can be seen as a amalgam of different diciplines. The second part focusses mainly on Duchamp and his unlimited practice. Starting with Anémic Cinéma, we describe his influence on the work of Maya Deren and Liliane Lijn.

  • Out of Sight, Out of Mind

    By on

    Inspired by a new video from visually impaired artist Lorne Marin (his first moving-image work in over 30 years), this program envisions the act of film/video-making as an attempt to trace that which can no longer be seen. These artists explore the image’s transformation as it passes from the immediacy of seeing to the cages of memory, manipulating materials in ways that directly or indirectly evoke an array of perceptual aberrations. From common chemical reactions to encroaching blindness, these interferences remind us of the lamentable fragility of our sight. But they also reinforce the mind’s ability to capture fleeting visions that, though long lost, may never be forgotten.
