  • Bozar Cinema: Jack Smith

    By on
    Normal Love (Jack Smith, 1963-1965)

    A legendary American artist, filmmaker and actor described by Andy Warhol as the only person he would ever copy and by John Waters as “the only true underground filmmaker”.

    The films of Jack Smith (USA, 1932-1989), along with the artist’s complete body of work - including photographs, collages, drawings, slide shows, costumes, sculptures and props that were used in his performances - represent one of the most seminal and important oeuvres in twentieth century art. Born in Ohio and arriving in New York in 1953, Jack Smith transformed the detritus of post-war downtown New York into filmic tableaux vivants of exotic glamour and polysexual fantasy. Rejecting the conservative political climate of an America at war with Vietnam, the trends of Abstract Expressionism, the repression of queer expression and the abstention of the pornographic in high art, Jack Smith was one of the first proponents of the aesthetics which came to be known as 'camp' and 'trash', using no-budget means of production to create a visual cosmos heavily influenced by Hollywood kitsch and orientalism. An actor for Andy Warhol, Ken Jacobs and Robert Wilson, Smith sought in his own filmmaking to create an aesthetic of delirium. Smith’s influence is obvious in the work of artists such as Cindy Sherman, Mike Kelley, Matthew Barney, Nan Goldin, John Waters, Derek Jarman, Guy Maddin and Ryan Trecartin.

  • Intertidal by Alex MacKenzie + Hyas & Stenorinques by Jean Painlevé

    By on
    Hyas & Stenorinques (Jean Painlevé, 1927)

    First session in a series of useful labs in partnership with Le Lieu Unique on the porosities between the experimental image and the documentary: documentary cinema / experimental cinema - borders, influences. This first meeting is devoted to one of the common origins of experimental film and documentary cinema: the first science films from the early twentieth century.

    The moving image as an observation, and contemplation tool, of natural phenomena or environments, fragile, unknown and often invisible to the naked eye. A marine evening with the 16mm performance Intertidal by filmmaker Alex MacKenzie (Vancouver, Canada) and the projection in 16mm of the film Hyas & Stenorinques by Jean Painlevé.

  • Perímetro: Sally Golding - Unconscious Archives

    By on

    Sally Golding combina la proyección de película con iluminación y composición sonora para crear performances e instalaciones. Golding ha desarrollado obras donde proyecta directamente sobre su cuerpo provocando las reflexiones del público, creando cine-esculturas vivas e interacciones. Las composiciones fotográficas impresas como bandas sonoras ópticas y la música de colecciones de vinilo desarraigadas y descompuestas sitúan el trabajo de Golding, de manera precisa, en las intersecciones entre la ciencia y la superstición, entre la filosofía y la literatura barata. Los proyectos de Golding se entretejen con el cine expandido y media art, con la curaduría y el archivo audiovisual, evolucionando la práctica del "cine hackeado".

    Golding realiza la curaduría del la serie de arte de cine expandido y sonido Unconscious Archives (Londres) y es cocuradora y cofundadora de OtherFilm (Australia), dedicada a formas de arte experimentales y expandidas, entre otras.

  • Light and Sound Machines - Performance Projection

    By on

    El sonido óptico es donde la imagen de la película se lee como sonido. Mientras la película recorre el proyector de 16mm, pasa por la cabeza de sonido y por un proceso donde las fluctuaciones de luz causadas por la imagen en la película son leídas como señales eléctricas produciendo sonido. Los participantes desarrollarán métodos para utilizar e interactuar con proyectores de 16mm —practicando manipulaciones de proyección con loops y objetos, utilizando artefactos que interfieren con la luz y el sonido. Al final del taller, los participantes actuarán en solitario, en dúo o como una "big band" para darle vida a una proyección expandida y a improvisaciones auditivas.

    Imparte: Sally Golding (Australia / Reino Unido).

  • Sight Unseen presents Jesse Malmed: Untitled (Just Kidding)

    By on
    THIMBLERIG (2012)

    Drawing on the history of avant-garde moving image culture, conceptual poetics, ecstatic improvisation, dense wordplay and humor, Jesse Malmed makes art using moving images, text, performance, installation and the overlaps and gaps thereof. These works are conceptually engaged, language-intensive and visually mesmerizing.

  • Mary Woronov, Warhol Superstar: The Chelsea Girls

    By on
    Warhol: The Chelsea Girls

    At the majestic Castro Theatre, San Francisco Cinematheque presents The Chelsea Girls, Andy Warhol’s sprawling parody of the Hollywood melodrama. Inspired by wide-screen cinema, this enormous double-projected camp classic simultaneously screens scenes from the decadent and desperate downtown lives of Warhol’s art world entourage, in garish color and gritty black and white. Mary Woronov appears in her debut role as Hanoi Hannah, interrogating a humiliated cast of captured GI Joes (portrayed by Ultra Violet and International Velvet) with other outrageously improvised “performances” by Nico, Eric Emerson, Brigid Polk, filmmaker Marie Menken and the one and only Pope Ondine. Soundtrack features a rare live recording of the Velvet Underground.

  • (Un)Fixed Terra Firma: Analog Films from Artist-Run Labs

    By on

    Celluloid-based filmmaking is alive and well in Europe, thanks to a network of film labs dedicated to both the preservation of technology and cinematic experimentation! This two-night program on October 27th and 28th features work from three of these cooperatives: L'Abominable in La Courneuve, France; Labor Berlin in Berlin, Germany; and Labo Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium.

    While the artists associated with these labs produce work in a variety of styles, the films selected for these two evenings are similar in that they demonstrate extremes of the photographic process. In Mahine Rouhi and Olivier Fouchard's Tahousse, and Emmanuel Lefrant’s Parties visible et invisible d'un ensemble sous tension, filmed landscapes are manipulated in color and texture toward otherworldliness and abstraction respectively. In Els van Riel's Gradual Speed, winner of the Gus Van Sant Award for Best Experimental at the 2014 Anna Arbor Film Festival, the image in each vignette appears through time much like a photograph developing while the hum and crackle of vibrating dust erupts on the optical track.

  • Jerusalem In My Heart - Espace en Cours (Paris)

    By on
    Jerusalem In My Heart at Cafe OTO, London 2014

    With performances occurring 1-3 times per year, no two Jerusalem In My Heart events have ever been the same: configurations have ranged from 2 to 24 participants, with varying degrees of theatrical stage action alongside a film/video component. Jerusalem In My Heart currently exists around the core of Radwan Ghazi Moumneh carrying musical duties and Montreal filmmaker Charles-André Coderre projecting hand-made visuals using analog 16mm film & 35mm slides on multiple site-specific screen installations. Moumneh's vocals and purposefully blown-out sonic sensibility have been the consistent thread, but the music of JIMH has never repeated itself either – one of the reasons Moumneh has resisted any official documentation or definitive recording of the project over the past eight years. At long last, in 2012 Moumneh cleared time and mental space to record a song cycle that cements the foundations of JIMH as an intensely vocal-driven musical project.
