DIM Cinema: Eye on the Landscape

By Michele Smith on Fri, 21/07/2017 - 20:35

In Michael Snow’s tenth film, made in the twilight of the American lunar missions, the camera, attached to a robotic arm, casts its roving 360-degree eye across a remote, seemingly otherworldly mountaintop in northern Quebec. To a soundtrack based on the waves and pulses of the camera-activating machine, La Région centrale “transports its audience to a rugged Canadian landscape that is discovered at noon and then explored in seventeen episodes of dizzying motion as the machine’s shadow lengthens, night falls, and light returns” (Martha Langford, Art Canada Institute). Snow’s film is preceded by Daïchi Saïto’s kaleidoscopic exploration of the patterns and contrasts in the landscape of a Montreal park.

Xcèntric: Spaces between the images. The films of Daïchi Saïto

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 23/02/2016 - 11:47

Daïchi Saïto’s films are the product of artisan work and a manual development of the photochemical image, with a view to creating a vital experience in which the spectator imagines other perceptive, interior worlds. Saïto studied literature and philosophy in the United States, and Hindi and Sanskrit in India, and now lives and works in Montreal, where he cofounded the Double Negative collective.

HABITAT: Experimental Visions of Montreal

By Marcos Ortega on Sun, 15/02/2015 - 03:02

This screening gathers together six decades of artists’ films that collectively refract the diverse nature of Montreal’s unique urban environment. From distinctive architectural markers like Habitat ‘67, Parc du Mont-Royal and Place Ville Marie to anonymous snowscapes, moon plays, and back alley explorations, these works compose a fluid, unfixed cinematic city that is at once dystopic and utopic, eerily empty and actively engaged, brutish and brimming with life.

Films by: Julian Biggs, Alexandre Larose, Arthur Lipsett, Daïchi Saïto, Michael Snow, Malena Szlam, and more.

Curated by Leo Goldsmith & Brett Kashmere for SCMS 2015

Dates:
Thursday, March 26, 2015 - 20:00
Venue:
La Sala Rossa - Montreal, Canada
