  • Xcèntric: Antoni Pinent - Esbozos experimentales

    By on
    G/R/E/A/S/E (Antoni Pinent, 2008-13)

    Enmarcadas en el terreno del cine experimental, las películas de Antoni Pinent son una forma de reflexión sobre el medio cinematográfico, donde los aspectos materiales de las imágenes en movimiento configuran su contenido. A lo largo de los años ha desarrollado un cine sin cámara muy particular, trabajando directamente sobre el soporte y fragmentando su unidad mínima, el fotograma. Una técnica que él mismo ha designado como polyframe y a partir de la cual ha realizado sus últimas películas. Esta labor de décollage con la materialidad fílmica, además de presentar la película como algo concreto que se puede trabajar con las manos, remite al cine de atracciones, a esa experiencia visual tan impactante, llena de golpes, choques y humor, de las primeras proyecciones. Esta sesión presentará algunos de sus trabajos en diálogo con otros de Volker Schreiner, Christoph Girardet y Matthias Müller, Morgan Fisher, David Matarasso y Peter Tscherkassky; unos han sido una influencia importante, otros aportan conceptos para pensar su obra.

  • Celluloid Therapy: The Diary Films of Anne Charlotte Robertson (1949–2013)

    By on

    White Light Cinema and The Nightingale Present

    The experimental film community lost one of its most original and distinctive voices last fall with the passing of Framingham, Massachusetts Super-8 filmmaker Anne Charlotte Robertson. Robertson’s films (and later digital videos) were visceral, haunting, emotionally raw works that opened up the artist’s life and her anxieties, obsessions, compulsions, addictions, and mental illness in unprecedented ways. Robertson’s films, now housed at Harvard Film Archive, are powerful documents of maintaining oneself with art, sharply incisive self-analysis, and caustic wit while struggling with an often times debilitating illness. 

    White Light Cinema is proud to present a selection of five early works by Robertson (whose films have not been seen in Chicago in well over a decade, and only a handful of times before that), in new digital transfers. [Robertson rarely screened her originals, and only when she was present. The previous solo show of Robertson’s work in Chicago, which I was fortunate to present at Chicago Filmmakers, was from VHS.]

    These are startlingly moving works about the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. Robertson’s legacy is a remarkably brave example of really living life through art.

    Morning at Xuanwu Lake

    Programme:

    1.Sunrise Fires - Lorenzo Gattorna2013, 16mm-to-digital, b/w and color, sound, 6.5mIn early September 1995 the Sunrise Wildfire was extinguished. 7,000 acres had burned during the peak of the tourist season yet nobody was killed. The aggravated assault swept from one side of Sunrise Highway to the other without the slightest hesitance. Another series of severe brush fires ignited 17 years later and became known as the Brookhaven Blaze. The outbreak left around 2,000 acres torched. The wild ruin and regrowth were revisited within The Central Pine Barrens, the largest natural area on Long Island and its last remaining wilderness.

    2. The Sea [is still] Around Us - Hope Tucker4 minutes, HD, US, 2012The postcard of a vacation spot usually enhances the reality. The contrast is more stark in Corinna, Maine, a former woolen mill town on the shores of Lake Sebasticook, where unregulated dumping of pesticides and industrial waste contaminated the water supply.

    Passages (Shinkan Tamaki, 2013)

    KLEX and FINDARS co-present:

    Experimental film screening and performance from Japan. Shinkan Tamaki from Japan will perform and present the screening programme in person!

    Film Screening:

    - Experience in Material No.51: DUBHOUSE (Kei Shichiri & Ryoji Suzuki, 16min, 2012)A documentary that focuses on an installation called "Experience in Material No.51: DUBHOUSE" by architect Ryoji SUZUKI at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo in 2010. Its original concept of capturing the darkness produced by architecture was dramatically altered by the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11th, 2011. SHICHIRI begins by filming both the light and shadows produced by the works on display, and embeds SUZUKI’s drawings of the disaster-hit regions within them. Cinemas are architectural structures where darkness is inherent. Films that attempt to emerge from that darkness are a form of emitted light, and at the same time they could be seen as a type of prayer. This is a metafilm on the subject of light and darkness, as well as a response to a historical event.

    - A Child Goes Burying Dead Insects (Rei Hayama, 12min, 2009)A Child Goes Burying Dead Insects (Kodomo ga Mushi no Shigai wo Umeni Iku ) is the first film work by Rei Hayama. The repeated sequence of -one girl appears in the woods, buries dead insects and then leaves- was made without camera. With each duplicate repetition breaks the film images and fades its color. The girl in film was also performed by filmmaker herself. The film is structural but also has narrative.

    - Generator (Makino Takashi, 20min, 2012)The images reach realms beyond our comprehension as they transform and invite us into our own personal memories. Filled with uncertain yet overwhelmingly reminiscent images, the film opens up before our eyes. When the unfixed transformations of light eventually shift into aerial shots, images capable of mutual recognition, we are able to transcend ‘the body’ and ‘personal recollections’ into inter-personal memories that reach back into our ancestral imagination. We may be able to feel as living beings a part of our star for the first time if we recognize our ‘body’ as a small universe, realise our city as an enormous living body and ourselves as merely one cell.

    - Passages (Shinkan Tamaki, 12min, 2013) with live improvised music by Reflex Reactions (YONG Yandsen & KOK Siew Wai)The winds asked me to go on a journey.

  • Hammer! Making Movies Out of Sex and Life

    By on

    Kunsthall Oslo is very pleased to present the work of the renowned American filmmaker Barbara Hammer to a Norwegian audience for the first time.

    Barbara Hammer will introduce her work and the Kunsthall Oslo retrospective with a talk, "Hammer! Making Movies Out of Sex and Life", on Friday Novermber 29th at 7pm.

    For over four decades, Barbara Hammer (born 1939) has been making formally experimental and culturally groundbreaking films exploring cinema, biography, history and sexuality. She has made more than eighty film and video works, and Kunsthall Oslo will present a selection of work ranging from the 1970s until today. Her breakthrough 1974 film Dyketactics has been called “the first lesbian lovemaking film made by a lesbian” and the Museum of Modern Art in New York describes her as one of the key experimental filmmakers of her generation. A review of Hammer’s recent Tate retrospective concluded: “It’s glorious, all this fresh energy.”

    Los Angeles Filmforum presents A Stark View of the World – An Evening With Scott Stark

    Scott Stark’s films, videos and installations are kinetic revelations that can be shocking, mesmerizing and narratively rich.  We’re delighted to welcome Scott to Los Angeles again.  We last featured him at Filmforum in 2002.  Over two nights in November, he will present a wide array of new work created since then, along with a few earlier works.  On Sunday, the works display a consistent remaking of the screen, rendering past into present, and colliding spaces in ways that find new political and narrative meaning.

    Scott Stark in person!

    "The Basis of Make-Up I-III" by Heinz Emigholz16 mm film transfered to video, color, sound, 90', 1983-2005

    The Basis of Make-Up I-III is the  primal soup that stands behind Heinz Emigholz abundant body of work. This  life-size film compilation, depicts  two decades of notebooks in an unstoppable flickery  flow. The blend of collages,  workaday writing  and  filming  is intersected by elaborate drawings halfway between medical and technical illustrations which somehow encapsulate the author's highly personal time and vision.

  • Retrospectiva Gunvor Nelson

    By on

    Como parte del X Festival de Cine Europeo de Sevilla11 al 14 de noviembreAvenida 5 CinesMarques de Parada, 15. Sevilla

    La sueca Gunvor Nelson ha construido un asteroide fílmico único y heterogéneo en el que quedarse a vivir, por el que fluye, imparable, un torrente de ideas y materiales. Desde lo onírico a lo lúdico, de lo íntimo y personal al puro juego plástico, de celuloide al vídeo, de la militancia al placer: así ha recorrido, cual valerosa exploradora, un camino que la ha convertido en pionera, figura esencial a descubrir dentro del cine europeo más libre y resplandeciente.

    Establecida en el área de San Francisco desde los 60 hasta los 90, fue partícipe de un periodo especialmente floreciente para ese cine que ha sido llamado “visionario”. Ya de regreso a Suecia, y después de haber explotado las particularidades del celuloide, Nelson se lanzó a hacer estallar también las posibilidades creativas del vídeo como medio, abriendo así una nueva vía en su trabajo. Este recorrido da cuenta de la carrera de una figura multidimensional, imprescindible y fascinante, en un disfrutable paseo que combina deleite sensorial con humor y una aguda y subversiva visión del mundo.
