The 33rd Onion City Experimental Film Festival Competition Program 1: Machine Perspectives ONLINE (April 1 - April 9) & IN-PERSON (March 31, 2023 at 7PM)
Please join us on Thursday, March 23, 2023, at 7:30pm at Counterpath (7935 East 14th Ave.) for real time cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated digital maps by Eric Theise, in live improvisatory collaboration with Denver-based guitarist and sound artist Carl Ritger, whose prepared lap steel and modular sampler approach will provide a deeply textural counterpoint to the visual wash of street grids, land masses, water bodies, and curiosities from built and natural environments. Saturated colors and the subtlest of tints.
SURVIVA, directed by Ariel Dougherty and Carol Clement, a Women’s Film Preservation Fund (WFPF) preservation premiere, and Lisa Crafts' GLASS GARDENS, an earlier WFPF preservation, view the theme of art making and survival from different perspectives: SURVIVA, on a pragmatic level focusing on the day to day concerns of a group of women artists and GLASS GARDENS, showing the power of a woman’s artistic drive, even in the worst of times. In both films animation figures prominently.
The competition (focused on experimental cinema) is open to films of any language and format, provided that they are Italian premières and the year of production is not prior to 2022. Mostra del nuovo Cinema di Pesaro will take place from 17-24 June.
Su Friedrich's TODAY opens MARCH 17TH at DCTV’s Firehouse Cinema for Documentary Film. Q&As with Director Su Friedrich on Mar 17 + 19. Su Friedrich will also be in attendance on Mar 18, 22, 23.
