Xcèntric: Women Light Music I

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 16/01/2023 - 10:05

This season’s opening session presents a series of films that address the relationship between women and musical composition. These are films with composition models very similar to those of music, scores where the sounds are notated in the form of images that work on their synchrony, where what is seen and what is heard is often materially the same. These kinetic compositions by Eugènia Balcells, Mary Ellen Bute, Lis Rhodes and Blanca Rego serve as a pretext to highlight the presence of female composers in the history of music.

TypoFilm: Light Reading

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 14/09/2022 - 02:47

An emblematic figure of the British scene, Lis Rhodes directed Light Reading in 1978, an experimental and feminist film noir during which, through voice-over, an investigation into the grammar of gaze and language is developed. .

In the artist's production, the work of writing maintains a poetic relationship with the presence of the text in its material, handwritten or typographical consistency.

Assembly

In celebration of Capture Photography Festival 2022, DIM Cinema brings together four extraordinary filmmakers to interrogate the meanings of images drawn by light. Whether translating photographs into time-based media or cutting and pasting found footage, the short films in this program disassemble memories, histories, myths, percepts, and representations, while clearing space for their potential reassembly in altered form. We enter onto a rocky-beach scene staged and photographed by Agnès Varda 30 years earlier.

Zin Ex. From Abstraction to Algorithm

By Marcos Ortega on Sat, 12/09/2020 - 05:49

Looking back over a history of one hundred years, experimental cinema has rigorously challenged cinematic conventions. To reach beyond telling stories, artists and filmmakers examined the material conditions of their medium, such as light, motion, celluloid and, with the advent of television and video, electronic signals. This relationship with the technical device—whether a camera or a computer—revolutionized the creative process and opened ever new possibilities for critically reflecting the world we live in.

Shoot Shoot Shoot, London Film-Makers' Co-operative - The First Decade

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 11/03/2019 - 07:27

The London Film-Makers' Co-operative (LFMC) was founded in October 1966, and soon grew from its beginnings as a film-viewing group to become one of the major centres of a worldwide network of avant-garde film culture. In contrast to similar co-operative endeavours, the LFMC's activity was not limited to distribution – within a few years it was also running a regular program in its own cinema and, most notably, it democratized the means of production by establishing a film workshop that enabled filmmakers to control every stage of the creative process.
