    Sally GoldingFestival PLAY 2012. Cine en directo
    29 a 31 de marzo, 22h
    La Casa Encendida, Ronda Valencia, 2 28012 Madrid

    El Festival PLAY reúne a artistas visuales que trabajan en directo con la imagen proyectada y transforman el cine en un arte escénico. Sally Golding combina performance con las proyecciones sobre su cuerpo creando imágenes de fantasmagoría entre la ciencia y la superstición. Makino Takashi actúa como músico acompañado sus propias películas, impresionantes paisajes abstractos hechos a partir de un trabajo muy cuidada de imágenes en alta definición. En Anharmonium un rayo laser se refleja en un liquido sensible a las mínimas variaciones sonoras y el espacio se ilumina en consonancia con la banda sonora cuadrofónica. La Chambre Des Machines retoma los Intonarumoris, las maquinas sonoras, inventados por los futuristas italianos a principios del siglo XX. Sculpture combina la música electrónica con la animación tradicional del zootropo, basado en discos de imágenes que giran sobre sí mismos creando movimiento. Martha Colburn proyectará sus múltiples bobinas de cine y animará manualmente las transparencias de sus dibujos con la compañía musical del saxofonista Hayden Chisholm y el compositor Juan Felipe Waller.

    Aviso: La sesión del jueves 29 se cancela y pospone debido a la huelga general en España.

  • Close-Up: Józef Robakowski – The Energy Manifesto!

    By on

    From My Window (Józef Robakowski, 2000)Close-Up: Józef Robakowski – The Energy Manifesto!
    Tuesday March 27th, 20h
    Bethnal Green Working Men's Club
    42-44 Pollard Row London E2 6NB

    Followed by Q&A with the artist

    Józef Robakowski is one of the most famous Polish artists and filmmakers associated with the neo-avant-garde movement of the 1960s and 1970s. As founder and initiator of various independent film groups and art associations, Robakowski was extremely active in developing a strong independent film scene in Poland. His works are characterized by a marked tendency to transgress various genres and media. Robakowski has been and continues to be reviewed in a fine arts context, as well as within the classical film genre (film festivals and program cinema). His multifarious use of diverse media – photography, video, film, paper works, mechanical picture production, Expanded Cinema, TV broadcast, installation, performance, etc. – contains, on the one hand, a meta-discourse about the guidelines of “reality,” and on the other, a subjective perspective, which is included as “pure” reality appropriation in his (short) films. Robakowski has also contributed to this discourse in various theoretical texts.

  • ATA: Jennifer Reeves’ When It Was Blue

    When It Was Blue (Jennifer Reeves, 2008)ATA: Jennifer Reeves’ When It Was Blue
    Friday, March 16, 2012, 19:30h
    Artists' Television Access, 992 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94110

    SF Cinematheque presents: Jennifer Reeves In Person

    “Drawing as much from the feminist surrealism of Peggy Ahwesh, the interior psychological exploration of Stan Brakhage, and the globalized interiority of Warren Sonbert as from the Vertovian heritage, Jennifer Reeves turns the screen into a materialist writing-pad that moves at the speed of private thought.” (Michael Sicinsky)

    Presented by Cinematheque as a work-in-progress in 2008, Jennifer Reeves’ now-completed When It Was Blue is a work of incredible ambition and scope. Described by Chris Stults as “an overwhelmingly powerful achievement on a truly epic scale,” the dual-projected, feature-length, 16mm work is a dazzling, deliriously immersive and visceral sound/image experience. Shot over thre years in Iceland, New Zealand, Costa Rica and North America, in documentation of our fragile natural world, the film—fiercely overpainted, spectacularly edited— explodes with color and an overpowering sense of nowness, a rushed sense of urgency. In its attempt at maximal expression and globalizing vision, in its fusion of simultaneously micro- and macroscopic views of nature with a blurred sense of subjective visuality and interiority, When It Was Blue is a filmic achievement on par with the most ambitious works of Stan Brakhage, Jack Chambers and Michele Smith, an ecstatic work of complex visual philosophy which aspires (tragically) to nothing less than the reconciliation of objective and subjective realities. Other short works by Reeves will screen. (Steve Polta)
