    Pursuing Max Ernst’s marks in Sedona, the French artist Maxime Rossi explores the particular landscape of Arizona and the bewitching appearance of its extensive and stony desert which has profoundly marked the spirit and the work of the surrealist artist in exile. By looking for a Hopi ruin once inhabited by Ernst, Maxime Rossi offers with Real Estate Astrology (2015) a hallucinatory journey tinted by a surrealistic survey in which astrology and mysticism seems to fill the paradoxes of history. Invited by the film department of the Centre Pompidou to design this screening, the artist has imagined from the horoscope chart of this event a partition on which the evidences he gathered during its ghost hunt in Capricorn Hill will be presented.

  • HABITAT: Experimental Visions of Montreal

    By on

    This screening gathers together six decades of artists’ films that collectively refract the diverse nature of Montreal’s unique urban environment. From distinctive architectural markers like Habitat ‘67, Parc du Mont-Royal and Place Ville Marie to anonymous snowscapes, moon plays, and back alley explorations, these works compose a fluid, unfixed cinematic city that is at once dystopic and utopic, eerily empty and actively engaged, brutish and brimming with life.

    Films by: Julian Biggs, Alexandre Larose, Arthur Lipsett, Daïchi Saïto, Michael Snow, Malena Szlam, and more.

    Curated by Leo Goldsmith & Brett Kashmere for SCMS 2015

    Thursday, March 26, 2015 - 20:00 to Friday, March 27, 2015 - 19:55

  • Early Monthly Segments #70: Mary Helena Clark

    By on
    The Dragon is the Frame (Mary Helena Clark, 2014)

    This month, Early Monthly Segments is very pleased to host a screening of 16mm films by US-based filmmaker Mary Helena Clark. Clark is in Toronto to work on a new film based on Franco Moretti’s book Signs Taken for Wonders, the title of which could be an apt description of much of Clark’s filmography. Clark’s films place emphasis on fragments and momentary discoveries, whether the physical imprints of rotting textbooks found in a deserted school, as in After Writing, the very material detritus on a well-worn film print of Jean Cocteu’s Orphée, highlighted in Orpheus (outtakes), or the way traveling through an iconic city like San Francisco, featured in The Dragon is the Frame, can capture references to moments gone-by—both universal and personal.

    Dates: 

    Monday, February 16, 2015 - 20:00 to Tuesday, February 17, 2015 - 19:55

    Venue: 

    Gladstone Hotel - Toronto, Canada
