In June 2020, Luther Price (US), one of the most unique personalities prematurely left this world at the age of 58. His real name is unknown or at least unrevealed, Price purposely kept it secret “like a fairy-tale character would,” since his work is “rooted profoundly in the story of family and the traumatic events of his personal history.” Price's visceral work, in which pain, violence, eschatology, and transgression were singularly combined and transformed into healing acts, pure and moving, is the subject of this screening.
On May 17, the Action/Reception cycle arrives at Solax.tv, in which 20 short films in super 8 millimeters programmed by Paulo Pécora can be seen.
The programming will be divided into four programs that will be available for five days each and then can all be seen again during the final ten days of the cycle.
-Program 1 (From May 17 to 22)
Dates:
Wednesday, May 17, 2023 (All day) to Tuesday, June 20, 2023 (All day)
At the invitation of la lumière collective, the artist-run filmlab Mire, based in Nantes (France), will present a program of films made in the lab over the years…
Mire’s lab is a shared space where one can work in Super 8 and 16mm. Flat printing, camera-less techniques, tinting and toning, sharp editing, found footage and shot images… experimentation is at the center of this space where individual endeavors are fueled through the exchange of aesthetic perspectives and technical knowledge.
A virtual screening of Journey(s): the Personal Cinema of Ann Deborah Levy premieres this Saturday night (May 20th) at 8:00pm on Millennium Film Workshop’s Channel: https://millenniumfilm.org/workshop-channel/
If you can’t watch on Saturday night, the program will be available through May 29th (use the same link.)
Running time is approximately 70 minutes. FREE

Sonic Cinema presents Rainer Kohlberger’s Answering the Sun – a maximal, stroboscopic colour odyssey to the limits of human perception. Riffing on the optical phenomenon that occurs when staring at the sun, Kohlberger’s first feature adeptly modernises avant-garde cinema’s long tradition of visual music and flicker in a 60-minute bombardment of coloured fields, Op art geometry, hallucinatory passages, and a wall of sound.
Join us at the FMC Screening Room (475 Park Avenue South, 6th Floor) on FRIDAY, MAY 26th, at 7pm, for an engaging program of films relating dance, color, and movement by Tone Glow's Joshua Minsoo Kim!
