Urban Research Istanbul Berlin presents short films between experimental and documentary exploring the public sphere in different cities. In collaboration with curator Burak Cevik from Istanbul we show films which deal in very personal ways with current and with historical urban developments and their problems.
The very personal point of view of the different filmmakers makes it possible to create a relation between different places and times, between the disappearance of old quarters, the violence that families have to endure in kurdish areas, the circumstance that led to the self-immolation of a turkish immigrant in Germany, and the juxtaposition of the story of Jewish family in Italy during WW2 against the backdraft of Italo-Fascist Architecture in Rome.

Definida por Scott MacDonald como poderosa e inusual en sus efectos emocionales, Rolls: 1971 invita a los espectadores a participar en el proceso siempre en curso de hacer la vida humana más genuina y más satisfactoria. Es la culminación más eficaz de Robert Huot de crear un cine interesante y bello sin llegar a ser inaccesible.
Impartido por Mark Street, cineasta y profesor de producción de video y cine en el Visual Art Department at Fordham University-Lincoln Center.
¿Cómo yuxtaponer el ruido y el lenguaje visual? Vamos a usar sonido grabado e imágenes creadas en el taller para con eso crear piezas cortas en las que el sonido y las imágenes “funcionan juntas como un relevo” (Robert Bresson).

During the retrospective on Agnes Varda in Cinematek Brussels, Offoff introduces Varda's obscure transatlantic counterpart: Chick Strand, along with Bruce Baille co-founder of the legendary Canyon Cinema, but above all, film maker. She was a pioneer in mixing experimental film with documentary cinema and each time she managed to confirm the flexibility of the human mind.
We present an overview of her oeuvre, both the etnographic experiments and the more lyrical works. Ranging from her early films, such as Anselmo, a Mexican child she repeatedly portrayed, to Soft Fiction, recently declared the peak of cinema from the late 70's by Tate. Here it is the feminine sensuality that is confirmed in its obstinance.

l'Etna 71, rue Robespierre 93100 Montreuil, France M°Robespierre [after the blue door, cross the courtyard, first door on the right under the roof, second floor left]
In an experimental approach to film, the mirror as a reflective device is used more in its concrete dimension that in the metaphorical: the mirror surface denounces the cinematographic transparency, the famous "window to the world" dear to André Bazin and manifests its power of illusion, infinitely poetic.
This programme will give rise to various speculations about the self-portrait, memory, landscape, but also on the presence of mirrors in Hollywood movies that reveals a double or the narcissistic staging full of doubts and anguish.

The 2016 Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, Scotland’s international festival dedicated to experimental film and artists’ moving image, will open on Thursday 14th April with the Filmmaking Symposium; an unique event that in its past 3 years has proven to be immensely successful. Open to all, and aimed at both aspiring and established filmmakers or artists working within moving image, the Symposium features talks and presentations by revered filmmakers and leading industry figures. It provides a rare opportunity to meet and mingle with a range of experts closely involved the making, funding, and distribution of experimental films and artists’ moving image, along with students and fans of the arts.
"An immediate form of creating image and sound, a play on the possibilities offered by the film projectors, a use of mechanical machines in performance, discover what you can do with multiple projectors running simultaneously.
Performances with multiple projectors offer artist-filmmakers the opportunity to expand their spectrum of lumino-pictorical techniques. With modified 16mm projectors, conventional tools become personal instruments for transforming images loops of pure black and white into immersive perceptual phenomenons. Abstract forms and strobe pulsing on the screen slowly transform when adding additional projectors, overlays creating strange halos, bizarre 3D expansions and contractions. When more projectors are added, there occurs an intense sensory overload of light, sound and color."

El sonido en el cine es un elemento fundamental para entender la concepción artística de los autores. Esta es una sesión especialmente diseñada para conocer un poco más el trabajo con la banda de sonido en el cine estructural.
Los cineastas que practican las consideraciones estéticas y técnicas del cine estructural trabajan el sonido desde posturas disruptivas. Manipulaciones gráficas sobre la banda sonora óptica del celuloide y alteraciones de sonidos ambientales ofrecen diálogos acústicos sobre el ruido y el paisaje sonoro.

25 FPS Festival is inviting new films to apply for the International Competition programme of the 2016 edition from 29th of September to 2nd of October.
We're searching for innovative explorations of cinematic language, narration and the medium itself. Film types and genres that cross and broaden the notion of film as art. Expressive original concepts, progresses in terms of theme, idea and aesthetics, as well as works that perpetuate the tradition of avant-garde and experimental film.
