    Since its inception, cinema has emerged as a powerful tool to freeze time, to stretch it, to lengthen it, to condense it giving the human eye the capacity to see phenomena that can be normally perceived.

    Many artists have captured the technical means to work filmic time as a malleable poetic material, revealing the hidden splendor of the land of the invisible. Lamartine's famous sonnet finally becomes reality ...

    Award-winning filmmaker Dominic Angerame will present The Soul of Things (2010, 15 min.), a work that uses historical San Francisco footage to explore the fluid nature of urban architecture through the saturated chemistry of black and white high-contrast film. The film will be presented in 16mm and accompanied by a live soundscape written and performed by San Francisco musician Kevin Barnard.

    The program also includes Light Play: Black/White/Gray (1930, 6 min.), László Moholy-Nagy’s cinematic study of a kinetic sculpture called the Light-Space Modulator that creates luminous shadows and reflections.

    j. (Solomon Nagler & Alexandre Larose, 2009)Winnipeg Film Group presents
    Experimental Series: Expanded Cinema; The Poetics of the Frame
    May 28-June 4, 2011

    Held over two weekends, this workshop will focus on the poetics of First Person Cinema. Participants will watch and discuss work by filmmakers who explore meditative subtle explorations of carefully framed shots and indexical in-camera abstractions. Participants will be invited to show their final projects in both traditional and non-traditional spaces. After one week of shooting two rolls of high contrast 16mm, participants will hand process their footage with an emphasis on clean images (no scratches) and no image manipulation. Experience in hand processing is an asset, but not essential.

    Sat May 28 & Sat Jun 4 11am-5pm
    Fee: $120 mem/ $150 non-mem
    Instructor: Solomon Nagler

    "Dog Track" by Phill Niblock
    16mm film transfered to video, color, sound,8.5', 1969

    If there is still someone with a nonconformist and experimental spirit in New York, that person is Phill Niblock. Since the sixties that the artist explores the power of sound and images to generate new frontiers and limits of perception.  Despite being a reference in the field of music, it was the film that led him to take the first steps in time-based-arts. Phill Niblock began by making structural experiments, short dance and sound films in collaboration with artists as diverse as Yvonne Rainer, Sun Ra and Max Neuhaus. After this period, Niblock starts to investigate the film medium itself by focusing on the inflow of movement in its various expressions. Working with a wide range of simple images, travel and ethnographic captures, landscapes or just abstract compositions, Niblock overlaps successive layers of sound, creating an open field, impervious to any definition.

    Oporto presents "Dog Track ", a film that juxtaposes an inhuman sound, devoid of emotion, coming from a psychoanalytic interview, to images and landscapes of non-verbal beauty. "Dog Track" roughly exposes us, to an hypnotic report, a sad and monochordic chant produced by an impossible relationship.

    "The saddest song on earth" - Alexandre Estrela
