  • Canyon Cinema 50: Love, Light & Lyrical Eroticism

    By on
    FFFTCM (Will Hindle, 1967)

    1967 was the year that the Canyon Cinema Co-op was born in San Francisco. Formed as a  distribution cooperative for films made by members, it grew out of the itinerant Canyon Cinema formed a few years earlier by a loose association of Bay Area artist-filmmakers. The Canyon Co-Op was the west coast’s contribution to a growing international network for showing and seeing films that fell outside the bounds of polite manners, censors’ approval, and art-world decorum.

    From the City of Angels to the City of Light, the filmmaker/programmer/film restorer Mark Toscano offers us in this program recently restored copies of Los Angeles artists' films.

    The avant-garde cinematographic movement of Los Angeles has been for decades little studied and shown in comparison to the other two major US avant-garde centers New York and San Francisco. The city of Los Angeles has howver witnessed an extremely varied production and that has been the origin of a particularly influential culture of experimental film.

  • OFFoff Cinema: Chick Strand

    By on
    Waterfall (Chick Strand, 1967)

    During the retrospective on Agnes Varda in Cinematek Brussels, Offoff introduces Varda's obscure transatlantic counterpart: Chick Strand, along with Bruce Baille co-founder of the legendary Canyon Cinema, but above all,  film maker. She was a pioneer in mixing experimental film with documentary cinema and each time she managed to confirm the flexibility of the human mind. 

    We present an overview of her oeuvre, both the etnographic experiments and the more lyrical works. Ranging from her early films, such as Anselmo, a Mexican child she repeatedly portrayed, to Soft Fiction, recently declared the peak of cinema from the late 70's by Tate. Here it is the feminine sensuality that is confirmed in its obstinance.

    Dates: 

    Monday, February 29, 2016 - 20:00

    Venue: 

    OFFoff Cinema - Ghent, Belgium
