  • YBCA: Short films by Curt McDowell

    By on

    Short films by Curt McDowell
    Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
    701 Mission Street, 94103
    San Francisco, California
    December 17th,. 19:30

    "Curt was curt, cute, controversial, and not celibate,” wrote his former friend and collaborator George Kuchar. McDowell (who died in 1987) was a key San Francisco underground filmmaker whose work is rarely revived. Bawdy, funny and sometimes explicit, this program of some of his best short films are infused with joy and fearless intensity of raw emotion.

  • Thomas Demand at Teatro Lara

    By on

    Thomas Demand
    Rain / Lluvia (2008)
    December 15, 2009 6pm - 11pm

    Teatro Lara
    Corredera Baja de San Pablo 15
    Madrid

    Rain patters onto the stage in the venerated Teatro Lara in Madrid.

    It takes a while to realise that no water is falling: these are raindrops animated by hand!

    The film projection washes over the stage, hundreds of drops splashing onto the seamlessly wet surface. But nothing is as it seems. Simulation is the very stuff of theatre, and in the empty auditorium the pattering drops echo the sound of applause.

    The artist Thomas Demand, famous for his photographs and films of meticulously detailed cardboard models of places known only as mediated images, is presenting his latest film installation "Rain / Lluvia" (2008) at Teatro Lara in Madrid on December 15, 2009.

    The artist shows a 35 mm film featuring something completely common: rain. It is, however, an animation. Projected as a continous loop in a classic theatre space. What is artificial about it and what is real? Spontaneously one begins to ponder the relationship between the two.

    The work was part of the installment of "Il Tempo del Postino" in Basel (2009) and premiered in Berlin at the HAU (2008).

    This event has been made possible through the support of Galería Helga de Alvear in Madrid and coincides with a show of his recent works (November 27, 2009 - January 10, 2010).

  • Double Negative Collective: Parataxis

    By on

    The Double Negative Collective presents a selection of recent experimental films and videos by Montreal filmmakers at Cinéma Parallèle.

    * Thursday 17 Dec. 2009, 21h30
    * Cinéma Parallèle [3536 Boul. St-Laurent, Montreal, QC]

    Parataxis is the juxtaposition of dissimilar images or fragments in language, creating new meaning with the odd pairing. In cinema, filmmakers usher in many surprising marriages of visual and sonic ideas with each depression of the splicer, as many curators articulate new meanings in a varied program of film and video work. With this program, the Double Negative Collective presents a selection of recent experimental films and videos by Montreal filmmakers at Cinéma Parallèle.

  • Pleasure Dome: Tony Conrad & Marie Losier in Person

    By on

    Pleasure Dome presents
    Tony Conrad & Marie Losier in Person
    Friday, December 11, 8pm $8/ 5 members
    Latvian House, 491 College St.
    Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    Pleasure Dome is excited to present an evening with the wonderful Tony Conrad & Marie Losier. Conrad has been recognized since the 60s as one of the key figures of the American avant-garde, and working with the the most unlikely combination of collaborators including La Monte Young, Jack Smith, Beverly Grant and Mike Kelley, Conrad persists in being an influential and inventive musician, filmmaker, artist, and teacher. After a busy year with performances and exhibitions at the Tate Modern and the Venice Biennale, he will present his own selection of rarely-seen post-The Flicker films and videos, spanning a period of forty years.

    In conversation with him and visiting from NYC, special guest Marie Losier will be showing her film portrait Tony Conrad: DreaMinimalist – plus a collection of recent works.

    Film (Parkour) at Yale University
    December 8, 2009; 7:00PM
    New Haven, CT
    Yale University (212 York)

    Film (Parkour) by Christopher May
    (2008-2009, 16mm & Super-8, sound & silent, 24fps & 18fps, Argentina, Austria, U.S.)

    “... folky but experimental tinge, paid off well - both images and sound, projector and instrument shared a rawness that matched perfectly and gave the personalities onscreen an added layer of meaning which at times was warm, funny, odd, contrasting, insightful...” -Sam Natch, Buenos Aires, argentina

    "We know that this is the first time in history that this type of Parkour material makes it into film; and this project does an incredible job at highlighting the deepest values that move our lives, leaving behind all superficiality." -Walter Bongard, founder PKA, Asociación Argentina de Le Parkour

    "Triumphant!...capturing traceurs' in their element, playing and human, rather than objects of advertisement ....a slight undercurrent of sensuous intimacy.. the lens found and lingered on the traceurs' genuine smiles, the tip of the ear or the playfulness in both movement and pause." - Michelle Duer, writer
