Early Monthly Segments #61: 5th Anniversary Screening

By Marcos Ortega on Mié, 05/03/2014 - 17:21

To celebrate our fifth year anniversary we’ve given ourselves the challenge of programming (and projecting) an evening of double projections!

Vanessa O’Neill’s sublime Suspension uses rephotography, tinting and superimposition to turn a westward view of the Pacific Ocean into a sublime interplay of waves, light and grain. Malcolm Le Grice’s classic Berlin Horse is a film that explores the possibilities of the loop, taking a short fragment of a silent film and subjecting it to a series of colour processes amplified by the phased music of Brian Eno. Daichi Saito’s Never a Foot Too Far, Even is a contemporary expansion, superimposing a section of a Kung-Fu action film into a perceptual play, accompanied by a violin composition by Malcolm Goldstein. Tonight’s screening of Visions in Mediation #2: Mesa Verde, Stan Brakhage’s vision quest to the ruins of the Ancient Peublo cliff dwellings in Southwestern Colorado is amplified by a second print given to Kate MacKay from the filmmaker as a gift. And finally, a third projector will be sparked to present For My Crushed Right Eye, Toshio Matsumoto’s ode to the social unrest and expansion of the late sixties, all of which threatened to burst out of the frame.

Stan Brakhage: The Pittsburgh Documents

By Marcos Ortega on Mié, 10/07/2013 - 05:51

Without question one of cinema’s most influential and prolific artists, Stan Brakhage (1933-2003) created a monumentally significant and expressive body of work that spanned 50 years and over 350 films. For five decades, Brakhage worked in a highly distinctive, individualistic vein, mining celluloid cinema and--at least in his hands--its seemingly limitless potential for the articulation of raw subjective experience and pre-linguistic vision. The Academy Film Archive has been actively preserving and restoring Brakhage’s body of work since his collection was deposited there in 2004. In a career loaded with countless visionary works, Brakhage’s The Pittsburgh Documents (often called The Pittsburgh Trilogy) are a trio of acknowledged masterworks, and represent a radical approach to the concept of a cinematic document (as opposed to documentary) rooted in subjective observation. By training his eyes and the film medium on three subjects he felt were elusive, inscrutable, even fearful in their universality, Brakhage sought to gain some empathic foothold--if not an understanding--in these realms of authority (police), illness (hospital) and death (morgue).

Xcèntric: Visiones del cuerpo I

Xcèntric: Visiones del cuerpo I

Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona

El cine establece siempre una relación entre el cuerpo filmado y la máquina que filma. La cámara capta la luz y la duración que envuelven el cuerpo y, a su vez, el cuerpo filmado entra en un proceso de puesta en escena de sí mismo que la cámara registra. La mayoría de las veces ese cuerpo aparece ‘desencarnado’, al servicio de una narración, pero existen películas, como las que reunimos en estas sesiones, que le devuelven materialidad, otorgando la carne a la luz, haciendo que sus gestos no sean sino ellos mismos. Son trabajos que nos muestran la relación íntima del cuerpo consigo mismo, con la cámara y el otro, y la ‘sensación táctil’ de esa experiencia como condición inherente al cine. Ciertas imperfecciones que encontramos en las imágenes de uno de los primeros grandes trabajos de Brakhage, Flesh of Morning, nos hablan de los aspectos más inmediatos del cuerpo y de sus obsesiones carnales. Los filmes de Beavers, Winged Dialogue y Plan of Brussels, llenos de visiones líricas de la imaginación narcisista y erótica, nos muestran a través de un psicodrama un cuerpo desdoblado: el yo y el otro. A partir de una novela de Balzac, Markopoulos retrata en Himself as Herself un cuerpo hermafrodita, sus movimientos, posturas y gestos o expresiones, un estudio de un paisaje interior muy estilizado que lleva hasta las últimas consecuencias los ideales de Bresson.

- Flesh of Morning (Stan Brakhage, 1956/1985, 16 mm, 25 min)
- Winged Dialogue (Robert Beavers, 1967/2000, 16 mm, 3 min)
- Plan of Brussels (Robert Beavers, 1968/2000, 16 mm, 18 min)
- Himself as Herself (Gregory Markopoulos, 1967, 16 mm, color, 60 min)

Balagan presents... DIY Dystopia

Balagan presents... DIY Dystopia
Thursday March 14, 2013 19:30h
Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle Street in Cambridge, MA USA

With the natural world teetering on the brink of multilateral catastrophe, a group of analog filmmakers have taken matters into their own hands. Through direct contact with the medium – lifting and reassembling images on the film strip – adhering waste matter to celluloid – leaving emulsion to languish in the landfill – the artists interpret physical processes that ravage our land. Their grave methods yield results of unexpected poetry, vibrancy and beauty.

Attendees of this show will also receive a special, locally-produced, collaborative zine, made available through the Papercut Zine Library!

Cine expandido
Este libro se basó en artículos que publiqué entre 1967 y 1970 en The Los Angeles Free Press, el primero y el más influyente de los periódicos underground que florecieron en los Estados Unidos en esa época. Las columnas sobre nuevos medios aparecieron bajo el logo "Cine expandido", un término acuñado entre 1966 por el cineasta experimental y artista pionero de multimedios norteamericano Stan Vanderbeek. Investigué y escribí el resto del libro en 1969 y principios de 1970.

Avant-Garde 2: Experimental Cinema from 1928-1954
In the latter half of the 20th Century, Raymond Rohauer was one of the nation's foremost proponents of experimental cinema. This two-disc collection continues Kino's tribute to the Rohauer Collection, including the early works of Stan Brakhage and influential films by Willard Maas, Gregory Markopoulos, Marie Menken, Dimitri Kirsanoff, Jean Mitry, Sidney Peterson and others. The pièce de résistance is Jean Isidore Isou's passionate manifesto of film aesthetics Traitéde Bave et D'eternité (Venom and Eternity), which sparked a riot when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1951. This edition of Venom includes 34 minutes of footage never seen in the United States.
