Time, structure, patterns. These are some of the principles that guide the 9th edition of (S8) Mostra Internacional de Cinema Periférico that, under the title Lux Algebra, invoke the alchemical film elements that manipulate time and its structures, in order to define a program that complete the trilogy dedicated to film creation the Mostra has been developing in these past editions, from the light with The New Impressionists (2016) to the material that supports the images with Objects and Appearances (2017), on the concepts of appropriation of found footage.

Friday, May 25, 2018 (All day) to Sunday, June 3, 2018 (All day)
(S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico celebrates its seventh edition in A Coruña from June 1 to 5. This time the festival will hold a special edition under the tilte of "New Impressionists", bringing together both emergent and veteran filmmakers whose work engages the experimentation with light and its pictorial qualities. Probing the limits of sensory perception and subjectivity, this group of filmmakers has signed some of the most visually stimulating works made in recent years. This is the case of Canadian filmmaker Stephen Broomer that will present a fine selection of his 16mm works. Films in which the colors and textures evoke the work of the original Impressionists, and in which the author uses fast sweeps, collisions and movements that challenge the eye, and make imagine the filmmaker operating the camera as if you ran a box light with the ways of action painting.
Dates:
Wednesday, June 1, 2016 (All day) to Sunday, June 5, 2016 (All day)

Jaap Pieters, based in Amsterdam, and John Porter, from Toronto, are two of the most prolific Super 8mm filmmakers alive. Pieters has been making Super 8mm films since the early 1980s and Porter's work goes as far back as 1968. Both are considered to be important, although perhaps eccentric, members of their local film scene. 8 Affinities brings them together in a long candid conversation about their filmmaking, shared interests and divergent practices.
