    Tamalpais (Chris Kennedy, 2009)Experimental Film Club: Landscapes on film
    Thursday May 19th, 19h
    Irish Film Institute, 6 Eustace Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

    Landscapes on Film is a selection of films that explore diverse investigations of landscape on film and video. This programme includes works by Eve Heller, Chris Kennedy, Miriam de Burca, Ariane Michel, Matthew Buckingham & Joachim Koester. These works alternate between lyrical exploration, particularly apparent in Heller's abstract landscape poem shot on residency in Ontario, and the more overtly political. Kennedy's film deconstructs idealised landscapes with reference to classical landscape painting paradigms. The works of De Búrca and the Koester & Buckingham collaboration hover between fiction and fact, disclosing hidden subtexts in Belfast and Christiania, Denmark. Ariane Michel explores an uninhabited landscape abandoning a human viewpoint for that of an animal protagonist. Each of these filmmakers adopts a strong individual position in order to articulate contested and appropriated landscapes.

    Su Friedrich - re:workingSu Friedrich - re:working
    May 14 – June 6, 2011
    filmstrip prints | digital collage | work notebooks | photographs | embroidery | films
    Opening Reception Saturday, May 14, 6-9PM

    MICROSCOPE Gallery is honored to present the gallery debut of independent filmmaker Su Friedrich. With works spanning 37 years, re:working offers a first look at the hidden influences and art of Friedrich’s filmmaking.

    Friedrich began as a photographer, and the early black and whites photos in the show reveal a developed eye already exploring the issues of sexual identity, Catholicism, the tensions between documentary & fiction and other themes she continues to deal with today. Her detailed private work journals and drawings, which she has meticulously kept for each of her films, expose not only the process behind each, but Friedrich as a poet and an artist. And with her new filmstrip prints and digital collage works Friedrich revisits her photographic roots.
