    Peter Kubelka, Monument FilmPeter Kubelka: Monument Film
    Screening/lecture. In the presence of Peter Kubelka
    Thursday, December 6th 2012, 20h
    Palais des Beaux-Arts
    Rue Ravenstein 23, 1000 Bruxelles

    In 1960 Peter Kubelka put the finishing touches to his film Arnulf Rainer, which is still today seen as a landmark in the history of cinema. In this radical work Kubelka reduced cinema to its simplest form of expression: light and darkness, silence and sound. Without filming any images at all, while drawing attention to the fundamental characteristics of the film apparatus, Kubelka succeeded in creating, in the screening room, an event at once exhilarating and contemplative, whose beauty and power conjures up thunder, lightning or the succession of day and night.

    Fifty years later, at a time when cinema technology is undergoing fundamental change, Kubelka presents his new and highly anticipated work Antiphon as a response to that earlier experiment and as a testament to the entire medium. Antiphon, which is every bit as powerful as its predecessor, is combined with Arnulf Rainer to create a new work, Monument Film, extending and reinforcing the power of the two works.

    Following New York, Vienna and London, this unique evening will see Brussels host the premiere of Monument Film. Kubelka in person will present Arnulf Rainer and Antiphon, first separately and then together as a double projection (using two synchronised 35 mm projectors). In this exceptional expanded cinema situation, and with all the passion, enthusiasm, and generosity that all those who were present when he visited BOZAR in 2006 will recall, Kubelka will outline his conception of cinema. The presentation will be complemented by an installation in the Council Room.

    This program emerged directly as a product of the daring spirit of the underground film community. Composed of 16mm, VHS, Super 8, digital and archival footage, the works in ‘Explorations and Documentations’ are culled from the curator’s personal geographical journey. This survey of experimental films from Mexico, Canada, and the United States take on views disparate from traditional cinematic storytelling regarding gentrification, fallen heroines, portraiture, poetry, sexual encounters, and imagined journeys.

    Featuring works by: Barbara Hammer, Ricardo Nicolayevsky, Dolissa Medina, Navid Sinaki, Elena Pardo, Rafael Balboa, Leslie Supnet, Morris Manuel Trujillo, Karl Lind & Cat Tyc, and Dalia Huerta Cano.

    Film restoration and preservation are at the core of UCLA Film & Television Archive activities and essential to conserving our motion picture heritage. Restorations also play an increasingly vital role in making old films accessible to modern audiences, whether through public screenings, home video distribution or online delivery. But what constitutes restoration? What do moving image preservationists do? The present series proposes to answer these questions, while discussing ethical issues, such as the status of the original and how digitality might change our perception of historic material. Each evening will be a behind-the-scenes look into contemporary restoration techniques and concerns, featuring newly restored prints and introductions by leading film preservationists.

    River Rites (Ben Russell, 2011)Ben Russell - Trypps Series
    Friday November 23rd, 2012, 20h
    Stadtkino Villach, Villach, Austria
    As part of the K3 Short Film Festival (November 22nd - 25th 2012; Villach, Austria)

    "Using a fabricated Old English word as its guiding principle, this ongoing series of (mostly) 16mm films is conceptually organized around the possible meanings that its title elicits - physical voyages, psychedelic journeys, and a phenomenological experience of the world. Begun in 2005 in a somewhat vain attempt to hold cinema up as a mirror to the live and fully embodied reception of the crazy noise music scene in Providence, Rhode Island, the TRYPPS films quickly expanded their formal and critical language to include the various poles of action painting, avant-garde cinema, portraiture, stand-up comedy, global capitalism, and trance-dance a lá Jean Rouch. While the form of these works varies radically from one to the next, when taken as a whole they can be seen to enunciate what their maker calls "psychedelic ethnography" - a practice whose aim is a knowledge of the Self/self, a movement towards understanding in which the trip is both the means and the end." - Ben Russell

    The inexhaustible passion for film frames and the compositional processes of these minute particles in significant structures unites artists, film/video-makers and musicians, represented in the Independent Film Show 12th edition involved in the materialization of visionary and poetic interactive sensory experiences to suggest and amplify new and unexpected relations.

    The first program reveals the incredible creative potential achieved through the selective collecting of images and the brilliant assembly of these immobile and ethereal fragments in imaginative and introspective pathways into the macro cosmos. The films Alpsee (1994) and Phantom (2001), realized by Matthias Müller experimenting with various analogue techniques of filming and composition, illustrate through his distinctive visual vocabulary the transition into childhood, the tensions and moments of calm addressed, and painful educational development. Together with Christoph Girardet, chapters # 4 Why Don’t You Love Me? and # 5 Bedroom of Phoenix Tapes (1999) and the films Locomotive (2008) and Meteor (2011) explore a wide variety of cinematic representations in search of established codes and surprising digressions, reinforcing their creative energy, vitality and emotion.
