A sonic journey through Super 8mm and digital landscapes with Washington D.C. based filmmaker and composer Chris Lynn. 

Chris H. Lynn is a moving image maker, sound artist, educator, and curator. His digital images and Super 8 films capture the subtle rhythms of movement, light, and sound in urban and rural landscapes. (many of these landscapes include China, where he has filmed extensively since 2008). His work has been screened and exhibited in a variety of venues around the globe and has recently been featured in the book Cinema and the AudioVisual Imagination published by I.B Tauris. 

We are very happy to welcome Jonathan Schwartz in person to present works on 16mm film. Often based on the prinicples of field recordings, travels, collage, and sound/image amplifications his films write a unique language of their own.

"Schwartz’s films are windows that show the artist in the process of being expressed, looking for a balance between contentment and fear. He himself jumps steadily, as far as he can get each time. Either in his own or foreign territory, Schwartz is not a hunter, but a whisperer. There is a sense of awareness and appreciation in all of his work, of looking, breathing, and grasping without suffocating. With the organic quality of 16mm film, Schwartz crafts a world of faces, textures, and places that invoke and evoke language without unnecessary adjectives." (Mónica Savirón)

Stuart Pound's films are the subject of a first solo exhibition at Espace Croisé. His recent works are made from DVD images appropriations of well-known Hollywood films found in charity shops in London. The three videos Chase (2012), Shooting and Run Loops (2013), designed from science fiction movies or action movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger turn vertical what was initially horizontal. They compile image strips and intensify their pace by creating a new visual score close to abstraction. The soundtrack is split with the moving image and creates an intense reverb effect.
