Xcèntric: Mars on Earth II. At Uluru

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 18/03/2021 - 03:46

Decades of scientific exploration have revealed that some regions of the Earth may be similar to the geological environments observed on the surface of Mars. Australia's central desert shares certain unique and singular characteristics with the "red planet": extinct volcanoes, traces of asteroid impact, minerals, arid valleys, sandstone and stony soils the colour of blood caused by the same weathering process.

Earth Message. Arthur and Corinne Cantrill and landscape cinema

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 25/11/2019 - 17:03

In many of the films by Arthur and Corinne Cantrill there are no stories, no characters, but we are facing the landscape and its research done through cinema, with a materialistic and ecological concern. Shifting the landscape from the background to the foreground has posed many challenges to these Australian filmmakers, which led them to develop different filming strategies, relating the filmic forms with the forms of the places.

Depth of FIeld. Ar, Fogo, Terra, Água: Carte Blance to Ana Vaz

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 08/07/2019 - 03:46

As an extension of her exhibition at Matadero's Nave 0, Cineteca hosts AR, FOGO, TERRA, ÁGUA, a carte blanche in which the Brazilian artist Ana Vaz (Brasilia, 1986) puts her own work in dialogue with a personal history of cinema in which claims a poetic-physics of impurity. From Bruce Baillie to Toshio Matsumoto, through the new Latin American cinemas and the North American avant-garde, Vaz invites us on an elementary journey - air, fire, earth, water - for a personal and political, artistic and ethnographic cinema.

Xcèntric Cinema: Arthur and Corinne Cantrill. Touching the Earth

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 19/02/2019 - 07:22

A great deal of the films by filmmakers Arthur and Corinne Cantrill are based on the study of landscape, relating filmic shapes with the shapes of places. Not only does it provide a close-up of the rugged harshness of the Australian landscape, the films in this session - Bouddi, Island Fuse and Ocean Point Lookout – look into the materiality of the actual image and perception, posing us with questions about the nature of cinema and its capacity to create other worlds.

Braquage: On the loop

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 03/07/2017 - 14:33

The motif of the loop, or more precisely repetition with variations, is one of the formal and thematic principles recurrent in experimental cinema, one of its major functions being to defamiliarize the gaze in a strange paradox. This selection of films offers an overview of different techniques and conceptual variations of this fascinating and troubling motif.
