Microscope is very pleased to present a screening of films and videos by New York-based artist and filmmaker Sheri Wills. The event will be accessible online as well, with a live streaming of the introduction and Q&A from the gallery.
It's time to intensify the work of inventing new worlds and new humanities. Time to propose new understandings and experiences for the moving image. Time to unfold cinema in new practices of imagination and sensitive bonds of cooperation with everything that lives. It is an emergency time. Time to reaffirm the commitment of DOBRA - International Experimental Film Festival with the creation and maintenance of a cinematic experimentation space in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
In this workshop, we will experiment with some of the most archaic photography techniques; pinhole camera and contact printing. From images captured on 16mm film frame by frame, we create negative and positive copies with Print Film. This technique allows the freedom to work directly with the surface of the film with light, in the same way as a painter leaves their gesture on a canvas.

La région centrale is a three-hour film that artist Michael Snow filmed over a week atop a plateau about one hour by helicopter from the town of Sept-Îles, in Northern Quebec. Snow chose to film a deserted region without a trace of human life.
With spring in full bloom, and sense of wonder in our hearts, we arrived at the fourth program of our current season. What does it mean to be an artist? How do you relate your art to your surrounding, to the problems around you, locally or globally? We don’t have an answer, but perhaps these are the questions driving us to continue making our online programs.
