Cinema Parenthèse #9: Land/Scapes 3 - Werner Nekes

By Marcos Ortega on Mié, 21/11/2018 - 06:12

In the 1960s, WERNER NEKES (1944-2017) began making films and experimenting with different film stocks to scale the possibilities of the medium. Free from narrative and psychological aspects, the films are organized according to temporal units and structural systems as they focus on aspects of representation. In a direct dialogue to pre-cinematographic optical techniques – with different ways to create illusion of movement - Nekes referred to his films as ”light theater”.

Xcèntric: Anthony Moore. Hipnosis musical, lirismo visual

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 06/02/2018 - 07:26

La versatilidad instrumental de Anthony Moore le sitúa entre los contextos de la vanguardia más minimalista y los de la música popular más progresiva. Werner Nekes, Dore O. y Klaus Wyborny son tres de los cineastas alemanes con los que colaboró creando músicas para sus filmaciones. Las tres piezas musicales que se pueden escuchar en esta sesión mantienen cadencias profundamente repetitivas, pausadas, extáticas e hipnóticas.

Light Movement 26: Dore O.

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 05/12/2017 - 06:05

Dore O.’s films seem to claim a certain uniqueness and independence from the dominant, yet diverse and irreducible currents of German experimental cinema. As the critic Dietrich Kuhlbrodt declared already in 1988: »Dore O. has become classic, and suddenly it turns out that her work has passed the various currents of time unharmed: the time of the cooperative union, the women's film, the structuralists and grammarians, the teachers of new ways of seeing ...

Werner Nekes (1944-2017)

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 24/01/2017 - 05:59
Werner Nekes, one of Germany's top experimental artists died last January 22, aged 72 in his home.

Nekes was particularly active as an experimental filmmaker during the late 60s and 70s. His films screened world-wide and were honored wiith a multitude of prizes and awards. At the same time he became more and more entangled in a growing passion of collecting pre-cinema optical devices ultimately ending up as a preeminent collector who frequently used these devices in his later essay-style films.

Light Movement 3: Werner Nekes

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 17/03/2015 - 08:15

Light Movement presents Werner Nekes' Diwan, a film anthology in five installments: 1. sun-a-mul (16 min) 2. alternatim (15 min) 3. kantilene (17 min) 4. moto (16 min) 5. hynningen (21 min). The fifth installment, "hynningen" was awarded the Bundesfilmpreis in Silber in 1975.

"Hynningen (Swedish for 'honey roof') begins with long multiple exposures of a landscape with a clearing, opening up to the horizon. In the middle of the clearing there is a simple log cabin of the type characteristic of Northern Europe or Quebec. There are actors a man and a woman - at the window, at the doorway, strolling in the grass, doubled or even tripled by multiple exposure. Traces they have left at different moments of the day and in the changing light appear as gentle phantoms. If our varying perceptions would outlast changes in location we would experience a strong sense of continuity and of repetition.

Rewriting Film History, Reinventing Film Apparatus

By Anonymous on Mar, 03/06/2014 - 15:37

Microscope is very pleased to present Rewriting Film History, Reinventing Film Apparatus a program of 16mm films curated by Enrico Camporesi. The evening includes historical and more recent works by Jean-Michel Bouhours, Werner Nekes, David Wharry, Mary Helena Clark, Ernst Schimdt Jr., and Peter Miller that have rarely, if ever, screened in the US, and coming from the Light Cone Collection (Paris). Enrico Camporesi's description of the show follows: The notion of rewriting film history has constantly haunted moving image production. In the same way, challenging the basic cinematographic apparatus (the screen, the projection, etc.) has been a crucial issue in avant-garde filmmaking. The program seeks to explore the diverse strategies that have been adopted by experimental and avant-garde filmmakers in order to investigate such themes. The films are selected from the collection of Light Cone, the main European distributor for experimental and avant-garde films, and have been rarely (if ever) screened in the United States.
