"a major East coast showcase of experimental film and video" -Michael Sicinski, In Review Online
Light Matter is an annual festival dedicated to the artists' moving image, seeking to bring together works of experimental film, video art, and the media arts. Conventional films need not apply. Preference will be given to shorts, but features will be considered.
El programa de este mes de la sección Confesionario. Mapa de voces experimentales, comisariada por el cineasta de vanguardia Pablo Marín, estrá dedicada al largometraje 'Falling Lessonss de Amy Halpern.
Cientos de rostros que desfilan en pantalla como una cascada componen un retrato colectivo que se transforma, progresivamente, en una plataforma de despegue desde la cual Halpern ensaya una película de denuncia de otro mundo, a la vez sutil y radical, lacerante y alegre.
At the end of his 2001 video Dream Story, the celebrated U.S. experimental filmmaker Saul Levine (New Haven, Connecticut, 1943- ) recalls seeming to wake up from a dream, only to find his close collaborator Marjorie Keller (who had died in 1994) next to him: “I said to her, ‘You can't be here,’ and she said to me, ‘But I am.’ And I felt suddenly, totally relieved, and at peace.” To find Levine presenting his work in Mexico City and Oaxaca is likewise at once metaphysically incongruent, perfectly fitting, and a much sought-after occasion for peace.
This celebration of cinema's fringes features a curated collection of the underground's most visionary contemporary shorts. These films are all surreal, abstract or bizarre, and each reveals a bold new path for cinema to take. The resulting experience is a mind expanding fever dream, and it is also an opportunity to meet the filmmakers and other lovers of unusual cinema. So come to Sherman Oaks and meet the next David Lynch or Maya Deren. We promise you will see nothing normal here.
An experimental animation workshop will be held on Sunday 30th June, 2-4pm at Rotherhithe Beach in London at low tide.
Using mobile phones, the workshop will explore improvisation within both traditional stop-motion of beach-combed materials and the making of flicker films. An embodied approach will centre sensory and ecological experiences of the site.
Prosigue en el Centro Cultural Dr. Madrazo el ciclo de cine experimental "Tierra de nadie". El jueves 20 de marzo, a las 19:00 h, Cineinfinito abordará la figura del cineasta americano Raphael Montañez Ortiz.
