    By on

    Born in Sweden, Gunvor Nelson (1931-) began her artistic career as a filmmaker in the mid-60s in San Francisco (USA). Major figure of the American West coast experimental film community, she has created an extraordinary filmic oeuvre, in which we can admire both the strangeness of her characters (Fog Pumas, 1967) and the poetic nature of her imaginary worlds (My Name is Oona, 1969) and the strength of her feminist commitments (Schmeerguntz, 1966). Since the 90s, Gunvor Nelson has lived and worked in Sweden where she continues through films, videos, paintings or installations, her exploration of the Swedish landscape and identity (Light Years, 1987).

    Screening introduced by Julie Savelli (from Paul Valery University - Montpellier III)

  • Xcèntric: Terapias filmadas - Anne Charlotte Robertson

    By on

    Las películas de Anne Charlotte Robertson (1949-2012), rodadas la mayoría en súper-8, documentan los efectos del trastorno bipolar que padeció, sus crisis nerviosas e internamientos en centros psiquiátricos. Filmando sus sentimientos y vivencias de un modo íntimo, directo y crudo, pero no exento de humor, las diferentes capas sonoras —en particular la voz de la cineasta— generan una emotiva reflexión introspectiva y ensayística sobre su propia vida, que mostró en su proyecto Five Years Diary (1981-1997). Tras ver su cine, Jonas Mekas le envío una carta: «Estoy abrumado con lo que he visto. No creo que sea yo el film-diarista: ¡Eres tú! ¡Eres tú! Me he quedado conmovido y no he podido dormir en toda la noche pensado en ello». La sesión se completa con una película de Carole Schneemann, que fue una de sus grandes influencias, y la oda final que Saul Levine, quien fuera su tutor en el Massachusetts College of Arts, realizó tras su entierro.

  • A tribute to Maria Klonaris

    By on

    Maria Klonaris, who sadly passed away a year ago, has left an oeuvre defined by the strength of her artistic and feminist commitments. Together with Katerina Thomadaki, they have been subverting gender and exploring the bodily identity through their films, performances, installations and multimedia works. The two films presented in this tribute to the artist, Pulsar (2001) and Selva. A Portrait of Parvaneh Navai (1981-83), illustrate the singularity of Klonaris' and Thomadaki's cinéma corporel (cinema of the body) which has left a strong mark on the experimental scene in Paris.

  • Room 10 Rants: Daniella Dooling & Les LeVeque

    By on

    Microscope is very pleased to welcome artists Daniella Dooling and Les LeVeque for the NYC premiere of their 2014 collaborative performance Room 10 Rants. In the piece, Dooling reads from her teenage drug diaries while Les LeVeque accompanies on an analogue video/audio synthesizer generating a psychedelic mix of body, words, colors and sounds.

    At 14 years old, Daniella Dooling attempted to meticulously document her thoughts while experimenting with large doses of hallucinogenic drugs (primarily LSD). These drug diaries articulate her multiple transitions through stages of consciousness that reflect the anxieties, ecstasies and worldly revelations of a very stoned adolescent in 1981. Room 10 Rants is an exuberant, personal, often funny and hallucinatory 50-minute reenactment.

  • Lux Salon: I burn the way money burns

    By on

    In her poem The Breast Anne Sexton ends with the line, “I burn the way money burns,” suggesting the complex and contradictory nature of female desire and its structurally dictated dual role—as lover but also care-giver and mother. These five films selected from LUX and Cinenova collections (1978-1994) not only confront this dual nature of women’s work. Through formal experimentation of both sound and image tracks, they also envision what Susan Stein describes in She Said as the “geometry of creeping lines” that inscribe the social relation of reproduction onto space itself.

  • Comparing Experimental Cinemas

    By on

    Comparing Experimental Cinemas, an international symposium on experimental moving image practices. Presented by the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM), University of Westminster, and Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, in collaboration with Experimenta India.

    Comparing Experimental Cinemas is the first event in a British Academy-funded research project which proposes to map histories and modes of global connectivity of artists' moving image across localities in Asia and beyond, and to theorise the regionality of experimental moving image practices. This symposium also intends to facilitate the establishing of a network of exchange and support among artists and other practitioners, who are largely, but not exclusively, based in the Asia-Pacific region. The long-term goal of the research project and network is to establish a sustainable infrastructure for disseminating experimental and artists' moving image.

  • Space Material, Immaterial Place: Films by Jeremy Moss

    By on
    The Blue Record (Jeremy Moss, 2013)

    Filmmaker Jeremy Moss, whose work has screened around the globe from the Crossroads Film Festival in San Francisco to the Arkipel International Documentary and Experimental Film Festival in Indonesia, brings a 60-minute program of recent moving image work. In the summer of 2011, Moss began expanding beyond his narrative training to fully explore lyrical and structural tendencies, creating the Super8 surrealist documentary Those Inescapable Slivers Of Celluloid, the abstract hand-made 16mm films produced at the Independent Imaging Retreat, The Sight and Cicatrix, the dance for camera pieces in collaboration with choreographer Pamela Vail, (Un)Tethered, Chroma, and That Dizzying Crest, and the essay film in collaboration with writer Erik Anderson, The Blue Record. As a program, these works cohesively embody an immersive optical and sonic experience revealing cinema’s capacity for both meditative expression and the rigors of collaboration.

  • Experimental Film Club: Films by Henry Hills

    By on

    Henry Hills has been making short, intensely rhythmic experimental films since 1975. Primarily New York-based (where he frequently collaborates with composer John Zorn, choreographer Sally Silvers, and poet Charles Bernstein), he has been living half-time in Vienna since 2008, teaches at FAMU in Prague and was a Guggenheim Fellow in 2009.

    This programme, curated by seminal Irish filmmaker Vivienne Dick, represents many highlights from Hills’ career, and has been similarly presented in recent months at the Austrian Film Museum, REDCAT in L.A. and Media City in Windsor, Ontario. His work, which seeks abstraction within sharply focused naturalistic imagery and the ethereal within the mundane, promotes an active attentiveness through a relentlessly concentrated montage.
