  • El cielo en la Tierra

    By on

    The snowman (Phil Solomon, 1995)El cielo en la Tierra (Heaven on Earth) is an eleven-programme retrospective of four American filmmakers whose work deals with 'other dimensions' through their cinematic forms: Zoe Beloff, Nathaniel Dorsky, Phil Solomon and Robert Beavers. Curated by Garbiñe Ortega and presented as a collaboration between La Casa Encendida (Madrid) and (S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico (A Coruña), the retrospective will dedicate several programmes to each filmmaker, trying to offer a panoramic view of the main themes covered in their careers. Zoe Beloff (June 6-10, Madrid) and Nathaniel Dorsky (May 31st and June 1st, Madrid) will be present in several of the screenings for Q&A, and Beloff will do a 3D performance and a workshop on video performances and installations.

  • Directors Lounge: Alina Skrzeszewska - Songs from the Nickel

    Directors Lounge: Alina Skrzeszewska - Songs from the NickelDirectors Lounge screening:
    Alina Skrzeszewska: Songs from the Nickel
    Thursday, April 28th, 21h
    Z-Bar, Bergstr. 2, D-10115 Berlin-Mitte

    Alina Skrzeszewska created a colorful, sad and thoughtful film about the shadow sides of downtown Los Angeles, not without showing strains of hope. And there is music, songs by the protagonists starring in the film.

    The Nickel, the Eastern part of downtown used to be an isolated island in the urban grid of L.A.: historic but sordid former grand hotels; the number of homeless people surpasses the number of inhabitants multiple times; a network of christian missions and charity organisations are entangled in what is called the Skid Row; from 10 pm through 6:30 am you are allowed to sleep in the street (but then you have to move); there is a lack of over 12,000 beds for homeless shelter; on the other hand, a massive police presence and the reign of crack makes life in the street like a trip to hell. In this strange otherworldly urban zone, the old hotels seem to be islands in the stormy waters, and they are the cheapest places to live in town. Here, the artist Skrzeszewska rented a room for over one and half a year while shooting for her film. Those who live here, and whom we get to know in the film, have at least some kind of steady income, a job in the hotel, a veteran pension, or social welfare for the disabled. They were able to leave the state of homelessness or the circle of jail and drugs.

  • Xcèntric: At Sea

    By on

    Blue Mantle (Rebecca Meyers, 2010)Xcèntric: At Sea
    Thursday April 28th, 20h
    CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona, Spain

    The sea has always been present on screen as a backdrop to stories of journeys, battles, adventures and scientific expeditions to explore its depths. But more than just a location, the sea is the star of the films in this session, which evoke the centrality of this “place” and maritime motifs, ships and seamen, in their representational strategies, a phenomenon prefigured in painting and literature. The films of Rosalind Nashashibi, Rebecca Meyers and Peter Hutton are nautical incursions, shipboard projects splashed with literary citations and pictorial references. [16-mm screening]

    Programme:
    - Bachelor Machines (Part 1) (Rosalind Nashashibi, United Kingdom, 2007, 31 min.)
    - Blue Mantle (Rebecca Meyers, USA, 2010, 34 min.)
    - At Sea (Peter Hutton, USA, 2004-2007, silent, 60 min.)
