At the beginning of the new millennium, an explosion of experimental film took place in the Buenos Aires movie scene, and creators whose work attracted attention at world festivals began to appear in large numbers. In seven works by various authors the book Buenos Aires Experiment seeks to look at the conditions of experimental filmmakers´ work and to reflect on it in the context of broader artistic scene. It also follows links to Argentinean experimental authors from the late 1960s to early 1980s, which the young generation endorse.

Kino Palais, with the collaboration of Pablo Mazzolo and Benjamín Ellenberger, present a special programme with films of the renowned Czech experimental filmmaker Martin Klapper. Screened in their original format and with the presence of the artist.

"A selection of my films from the period 1992-2002, documenting different approaches and efforts to find a new cinematic vocabulary, using found materials, in-camera edit and a wide variety of radical techniques (many of them my own inventions) to re-work the surface of the film itself. These techniques include overlays, scratching, printing, colouring, tinting, painting, Batik or hand-made development, including various chemical and mechanical treatments. All films are the original prints in Super 8 mm and 16 mm "(Martin Klapper).

Argentine Experimental Filmmakers

By Marcos Ortega on Fri, 07/08/2015 - 03:45

The series "Argentine Experimental Filmmakers", curated by Claudio Caldini will start next August 7 at 20h, and will continue every Friday of August, at the MAR Auditorium. Each screening will be introduced by Caldini and include several films organized under four concepts: Concrete forms; Signs of life; Landscapes in trance; and Light and time.

"Experimental film, avant-garde, nonfiction: definitions and categories are insufficient to describe a practice that involves multiple ways of perceiving (and thinking) through film images. These films made outside of production infrastructure are individual works that reinvent the gaze in every experience. They require of the viewer a similar provision in its responsiveness," explains Caldini on the cycle.

Dates:
Friday, August 7, 2015 - 20:00 to Saturday, August 8, 2015 - 19:55
Friday, August 14, 2015 - 20:00 to Saturday, August 15, 2015 - 19:55

Buenos Aires Experiment

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 01/12/2014 - 17:13

The experimental film scene in Buenos Aires is growing from personal meetings of the artists of different field and different places and cultures. So the screening of films from Buenos Aires will present the oeuvres of the artists who are currently based in the capital of Argentina even when they’re coming from different places of Latin America and beyond. The experimental film scene is a part of the widest alternative art scene which during the time after economical, social and political crisis in Argentina (1999-2002) figure out the surviving strategy in such situation for the artistic activities. The other part of the entire scene are the different DIY branches from music, theater to contemporary video-art and performance. The majority of the scene is grown up from the lack of the mental and physical space for the spontaneous creative gesture as well as from the absent field for the reflection of contemporaneity.

With works by Mario Bocchichio, Andrés Denegri, Benjamin Ellenberger, Lisandro Listorti, Azucena Losana, Pablo Marín, Pablo Mazzolo, Maximiliano Sans and Sergio Subero.
