Black Sun Cinema: White Noise
A film programme curated by Florian Wüst
in association with Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, and Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art, Berlin
Saturday September 22nd 2012, 19h
TDC, Triskel Arts Centre, Tobin St., Cork

Black Sun Cinema is partnering with Cork Film Centre this September 22nd to present a very special evening of experimental films from Berlin’s famous Arsenal archive. We are delighted to welcome Florian Wüst, Berlin-based artist and film curator, who programmed and will present this selection of works with the theme ‘White Noise’.

‘White Noise’ centres on legendary German underground film icons Wilhelm and Birgit Hein and gives Cork audiences the rare opportunity of seeing four of their films.

The programme as a whole reflects the deconstruction of cinema and television not only as a monolithic system of representation and a dream factory, but also as an instrument of corporate power and social control. Images of (human) disfigurement and the mysteries of childhood mix with the penetration of the senses on different levels. The combination of poetic collage, critical analysis, and radical abstraction intends to challenge the emotional as well as physical capacities of the audience. ‘White Noise’ also features works by internationally acclaimed artists and filmmakers: Thorsten Fleisch, Christoph Girardet & Matthias Müller, Sharon Lockhart, Gunvor Nelson, Richard Serra & Carlota Fay Schoolman, and Wolf Vostell.

Where possible, films in this programme will be projected from 16mm film prints.

Curated by Deborah S. Phillips

- Paysages humains (Alice Baillaud, Performance, ca. 10 Min)
A winter dance with immobile, transparent figures. Again and again, flit past a young woman in summer dress and a big kid too - until the wind carries them away, and intimate, fleeting thoughts whisper that could also be ours.

- Anxious Automation (Richard Serra, 16mm, 5 Min, 1971)
Two camera views by Joan Jonas, which performs a series of four movements, while the cameras into the picture - and zoom out of it. The movements of the actor and the cameras enter into a reciprocal relationship - with a soundtrack by Philip Glass.

- Naturfilm (Tsuyoshi Harada, 16mm, 14 Min, 2007)
The water, light, waves and the wind meet and cross, creating images in motion.

- Mater (Anke Doepner, 16mm, 6 Min. 1991)
The film begins with a boat ride. The water flows in streams, trees lose their leaves. At the end a daughter settles accounts with her mother, with a knife.

- Weird War (Albert Alcoz, Super 8, 9 Min, 2011)
Weird War is a found-footage film consisting of documentary on Super 8 measures. Explosions happen backwards, soldiers are injured, even deleted using direct methods on the film. At different levels, the film proves that war is always nonsense.
