  • CGAI: Larry Gottheim

    By on

    Larry Gottheim nació en 1936, en Nueva York. Aprendió de forma autodidacta a manejar su cámara de 16mm., comenzando a filmar en los años 60 y convirtiéndose muy pronto en uno de los realizadores más importantes del cine de vanguardia americano. Desde finales de los años 60, su serie de películas, todas ellas concebidas a partir de tomas formadas por un único plano, comienzan a densificar las construcciones en torno a la relación entre el sonido y la imagen, especialmente a partir de mediados de los años 70 y, posteriormente, su cine se alza como el cine de la presencia, de la observación y del compromiso con una conciencia profunda. Mientras se aproximaba a los motivos paisajísticos, a las formas del diario y al montaje –como colección– fílmico, la obra de Gottheim sigue siendo única en sus intensas investigaciones en torno a las paradojas centradas en una experiencia directa y sensual que entra en colisión con las estructuras complejas de la repetición, de la anticipación y de la memoria.

    Gottheim estuvo al frente del Departamento de Cine en Binghamton (Nueva York), y fue profesor allí durante más de tres décadas. Este departamento, extremadamente influyente, atrajo a los artistas con más talento, a los académicos y a los cineastas de la época, incluyendo a Ken Jacobs, Hollis Frampton, Peter Kubelka o Ernie Gehr, entre muchos otros. En los años 90, Gottheim también trabajó como director, durante una breve época, de la New York Film-maker’s Cooperative. Las películas de Gottheim se encuentran en las colecciones de los museos y en los archivos de muchos lugares del mundo, y un programa de sus primeras películas restauradas se presentó en el New York Film Festival en 2005.

  • BORDERLAND - The entropy of identities

    By on

    BORDERLAND – The entropy of identities international video art screening will be held in Almeria (Spain) at Museo de Almería on the 13th of March 2014 and at MECA Mediterráneo Centro Artístico on the 27th of March 2014; and in Granada (Spain) at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Granada, on the 23rd of April 2014. Forty-six artists have been selected to take part in the exhibition.

    Entropy is conceptually defined as the measure of the level of disorder in a changing system. Starting from this fascinating concept, each person can be considered as a changing system, as the same as for a specific culture, city or country, until the whole universe. All these systems are subjected to a process of continuous inner evolution which overcome their own boundaries to contaminate and crossbreed each others. Borders of this evolving systems get more and more fleeting, and their identities turn out fluid, multiple and changeable. These continue changes find in the inevitability of evolution their measure of order.

  • Early Monthly Segments #61: 5th Anniversary Screening

    By on

    To celebrate our fifth year anniversary we’ve given ourselves the challenge of programming (and projecting) an evening of double projections!

    Vanessa O’Neill’s sublime Suspension uses rephotography, tinting and superimposition to turn a westward view of the Pacific Ocean into a sublime interplay of waves, light and grain. Malcolm Le Grice’s classic Berlin Horse is a film that explores the possibilities of the loop, taking a short fragment of a silent film and subjecting it to a series of colour processes amplified by the phased music of Brian Eno. Daichi Saito’s Never a Foot Too Far, Even is a contemporary expansion, superimposing a section of a Kung-Fu action film into a perceptual play, accompanied by a violin composition by Malcolm Goldstein. Tonight’s screening of Visions in Mediation #2: Mesa Verde, Stan Brakhage’s vision quest to the ruins of the Ancient Peublo cliff dwellings in Southwestern Colorado is amplified by a second print given to Kate MacKay from the filmmaker as a gift. And finally, a third projector will be sparked to present For My Crushed Right Eye, Toshio Matsumoto’s ode to the social unrest and expansion of the late sixties, all of which threatened to burst out of the frame.

  • Magic Lantern Presents: Body/Voice

    By on

    It is often noted that men and women inhabit space very differently, as evidenced by the popular Tumblr account, Men Taking Up Too Much Space on the Train. Photo after photo show male passengers with legs maximally splayed and arms raised to grasp a Very Important Newspaper, while women demurely cross their arms and legs with visible signs of discomfort. It doesn't take a professional philosopher or sociologist to realize that this stark contrast between spatial expansion and contraction is not a fact of biology but a set of learned behaviors. For most women, something has broken in the unifying chain of consciousness/body/world; an institutionalized double standard ensures that men enjoy the lion's share of free, unhindered, fluid movement in space.

    The films in this program demonstrate various ways in which women filmmakers have sought to engage more fully with their world, oscillating between the savage critique of social norms and the affirmation of new powers and pleasures. It goes without saying that cinema, with its disjuncture of image and sound, its capacity for metamorphosis and even the grotesque, is one of the most powerful tools we have for the reconfiguration of body and voice.

  • Judith Barry: …Cairo stories

    By on

    Created from a collection of more than 200 interviews Judith Barry conducted with Cairene women between the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the beginning of the Egyptian Revolution in 2011, …Cairo stories is a series of short video monologues. The selection of stories chronicles personal experiences of women from a variety of social and economic classes in Egypt and expands the artist’s concerns with notions of representation, history, subjectivity, and translation – particularly as these ideas circulate across cultures.

    The original interviews were conducted in simultaneous translation to maintain fluidity and integrity of tone and meaning, and Barry considers them to be collaborations between her and the subjects. The vast source material was then ‘vetted’ by a diverse range of Cairene women. The emotional integrity of each woman’s story is the crux of this project; the translators and interviewees remained active participants in both the narrative arc of their stories and the development of the project. In the gallery, a selection of 15 narratives is performed by actors, highlighting that all stories, including those we tell ourselves, are ultimately fictions.

  • Xcèntric: Robert E. Fulton. Un territorio en la mente

    By on

    Cineasta, aviador y músico norteamericano, Robert E. Fulton (1939-2002) murió en un accidente aéreo con su propia avioneta en Pennsylvania. Fue un artista de una complejidad y profundidad poco común. Trabajó como camarógrafo aéreo y como director de fotografía en diversos documentales, entre ellos los de su amigo Robert Gardner. Sus enigmáticas y laberínticas películas están llenas de una desafiante poética que evoca cierta prosa metafísica. Fulton es un acróbata y un agitador, y mezcla imágenes e ideas creando insólitas sobreimpresiones que transmiten un sentido lírico muy personal. Su cine es el de un aventurero, capaz de descubrirnos el deslumbrante paisaje de un nuevo mundo.

  • Kinoplaylist: Laida Lertxundi y Alberto Cabrera Bernal

    By on

    Como parte del ciclo El Cine Revelado

    Laida Lertxundi y Alberto Cabrera Bernal son dos cineastas que optan por el formato celuloide como medio de expresión. Así la tradicional videoplaylist, donde un determinado personaje comparte sus vídeos favoritos de internet ante un auditorio, se transforma aquí en una sesión hipnótica denominada kinoplaylist, en la que armados con sendos proyectores de 16mm cambian la red por, físicamente, el cine. Una propuesta novedosa con proyecciones cruzadas, en la que compartirán sus propias películas, las películas inspiradoras de otros autores y una sorpresa final que supone una colaboración específica entre los dos artistas para este proyecto.

Tonight’s program features Pope’s his dual-slide projector piece Celluloid, a slide projector-based flicker film, a “celluloid ghost,” a proto-cinematic excursion through the detritus of industrial cinema. Live soundtrack to Celluloid to be performed by local electroacoustic ensemble Voicehandler. Single-channel films by Pope—including Mass Observation, Moon Walk and Incidence Room—will also screen. Preceding Pope is the Bay Area’s own John Davis with his sound/image amalgams and live slo-motion image analysis, presented with the live sonic accompaniment of Joshua Churchill. (Steve Polta)
