"a major East coast showcase of experimental film and video" -Michael Sicinski, In Review Online
Light Matter is an annual festival dedicated to the artists' moving image, seeking to bring together works of experimental film, video art, and the media arts. Conventional films need not apply. Preference will be given to shorts, but features will be considered.
This month's program of the Confessional. Map of experimental voices section, curated by avant-garde filmmaker Pablo Marín, will be dedicated to the feature film 'Falling Lessonss by Amy Halpern.
Hundreds of faces parading across the screen like a waterfall make up a collective portrait that gradually transforms into a launching pad from which Halpern rehearses a film that denounces another world, at once subtle and radical, lacerating and joyful.
At the end of his 2001 video Dream Story, the celebrated U.S. experimental filmmaker Saul Levine (New Haven, Connecticut, 1943- ) recalls seeming to wake up from a dream, only to find his close collaborator Marjorie Keller (who had died in 1994) next to him: “I said to her, ‘You can't be here,’ and she said to me, ‘But I am.’ And I felt suddenly, totally relieved, and at peace.” To find Levine presenting his work in Mexico City and Oaxaca is likewise at once metaphysically incongruent, perfectly fitting, and a much sought-after occasion for peace.
