  • Scratch Projection: A tribute to Amy Halpern

    Amy Halpern (1953-2022) occupies a singular place in the history of American experimental cinema. She was a key figure who took part in many legendary film shoots and artistic projects, a tireless organizer who co-founded or directed several filmmakers’ associations, and, at the same time, an original and prolific filmmaker in her own right, whose works remained, until very recently, in the shadow of her contemporaries.

  • Xcèntric: Tom Chomont / Robert Beavers

    Intimacy, affections and creative exchanges between Tom Chomont and Robert Beavers are materialized in these films, in which the two filmmakers simultaneously develop the possibility of a lyrical cinema on the borderline between portrait and psychological drama, eroticism and formal stylization. Their frenetic meditations offer us complementary views of the splitting of the subject and the exploration of sexuality.
