JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU Laneya Billingsley, aka Billie Ocean

By Telematic Media Arts on Fri, 14/04/2023 - 16:56

In her immersive video installation, Just to Be Close to You, artist Laneya Billingsley, aka Billie Ocean, employs the virtual space of the video screen as a field of pure fantasy and feeling, where she wrestles with personal and inherited social conflicts, taking a deep dive down the rabbit hole of the mind, conjuring complex feelings, and communing with imagos of her ancestors. She surrounds her audience with fantastical figures, sensuously bathing them in colored light, while playfully exploring the possibilities in embodied self-realization.

Los Angeles Filmforum, GYOPO, and LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division) Present The Margins of Dream Language: Contemporary Korean Female Experimental Filmmakers

By Alex G on Thu, 13/04/2023 - 01:45

When image and language are paired together, written and spoken words can reposition the image’s hierarchical role and create an opportunity for a new point of view. In this program, Korean female filmmakers use text itself as a material—either directly burned into the film or inserted as voice over—to push cinema towards a radical location or realm, engaging with an expansive legacy of colonial power dynamics.

THRILLS AND SPILLS - Found Footage Filmmaking: From Castle films to pornography

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 11/04/2023 - 09:30

The practice of recycling cinematographic images is almost as old as cinema itself. While it has frequently had a utilitarian, documentary or ideological function, it is also intimately tied to the history of avant-garde cinema since at least the 1930s. While many found footage films and artists associated with the practice are relatively well known, less is known about the nature and provenance of the images that are found and repurposed.
