OffOff Cinema: Spaces of Cinema. Festive Inauguration

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 07/05/2019 - 11:13

The cinema is a magical place. In 1975, Roland Barthes mused aboutce noir du cinémaas simultaneously hypnotic and fixative, fascinating and liberating. Sometimes, experimental films seek out the slumber that is distinctive of cinema, then again, they oppose it, celebrate alienation, break through the fourth wall and appeal to the awake spectator, leaving behind familiar film forms, good taste and cultural patterns.

Vancouver artist Judy Radul presents Michael Snow’s Standard Time (1967) and La région centrale (1971), along with a recorded discussion between her and Snow, as part of the launch of the new location of Catriona Jeffries Gallery. Its inaugural exhibition on Cordova Street is structured as an Unexplained Parade, with each gallery artist inviting a companion artist to exhibit work. Radul’s invitation was to Snow, who has worked for decades at the leading edge of experimental film and visual art.

Aula Xcèntric: Cineastas de vanguardia. Una aproximación a 10 autores esenciales

By Marcos Ortega on Vie, 28/09/2018 - 06:26

Este curso propone una aproximación al territorio relativamente desconocido pero enormemente estimulante e inspirador del llamado cine de vanguardia o experimental. Partiendo de la profundización en la obra de un conjunto de cineastas esenciales, representativos de diferentes corrientes dentro de este ámbito (cine lírico, estructural, documental, de animación, found footage, en primera persona, feminista...), el objetivo es exponer varias maneras de abordar la creación fílmica y confirmar un mapa de autores y obras a partir de sus afinidades y divergencias

Codes for North: Foundations of the Canadian Avant-Garde Film
Codes for North is a study of the early evolution of the Canadian avant-garde film and its roots in an aesthetic of difficulty. Stephen Broomer traces the evolution of this cinema through the work of three artists—Jack Chambers, Michael Snow and Joyce Wieland—from their early development as painters in the 1950s to the creation of their epic films: Reason Over Passion (1969), The Hart of London (1970), and La Region Centrale (1971). Their work formed in response to a strain of Neo-Dada that took root in southern Ontario in the late 1950s.

Movement as Meaning in Experimental Cinema
Movement as Meaning in Experimental Cinema offers sweeping and cogent arguments as to why analytic philosophers should take experimental cinema seriously as a medium for illuminating mechanisms of meaning in language. Using the analogy of the movie projector, Barnett deconstructs all communication acts into functions of interval, repetition and context. He describes how Wittgenstein's concepts of family resemblance and language games provide a dynamic perspective on the analysis of acts of reference.

DIM Cinema: Eye on the Landscape

By Michele Smith on Vie, 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.
