Pat O'Neill: Three Answers

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 03/06/2019 - 05:05

A pioneer of experimental cinema, the Los Angeles artist Pat O’Neill developed innovative techniques for radically altering imagery in the predigital era. His highly inventive 16mm films from the 1960s and 1970s explore dense layering and movement within a still frame. In recent years, O’Neill has reworked several of his early films into multiple projections.

Cineinfinito #87: Pat O'Neill

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 09/04/2019 - 14:44

Pat O’Neill’s rarely screened masterpiece Water and Power (1989) is a technological feat on the terrifying desert created by Los Angeles’ enormous water consumption. O’Neill focused intently on the industry that sprang up around Los Angeles, ‘the city that changed land into desert’, which he filmed with the use of time-lapse photography and optical printing and animation. In this way, he managed to expose the inexorable conflict between industry and nature.

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 31/01/2018 - 08:37

Pat O’Neill is an inspirational figure on the Los Angeles avant-garde film scene. Considered a master and innovator in his use of the optical printer, the unexpected compositions and cinematographic landscapes that make up his cinema are the fruit of his pioneering, virtuoso artisan work which, in contrast with the digital age, strongly reveals its visual and chromatic intensity.

Independent Frames: Shape and Structure

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 13/02/2017 - 04:41

While structural film was the dominant form within the avant-garde tradition at the dawn of the 1970s, animators used shape and structure in a variety of ways that differentiated their works. Robert Russett composed geometric patterns and colour sequences in complex rhythms to create his pulsing, abstract films. Paul Glabicki created incisive, analytical works that explored objects through image, language, form and movement, drafting stunningly complicated sequences by hand.

Troubling the Image: Works by Pat O'Neill

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 31/01/2017 - 12:14

Since the 1960s, acclaimed experimental filmmaker Pat O’Neill has explored the visual complexities of moving images on screen, first through his mastery of the optical printer and more recently through digital tools. This program presents exemplary works of each. One of O’Neill’s final works on celluloid, the 35mm Trouble in the Image (1996) is a moving image artist’s book that hints and nudges towards rich connections and associations.

Scratch Projection: Notre Dame (des Anges)

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 27/09/2016 - 11:58

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.
