In June 2020, Luther Price (US), one of the most unique personalities prematurely left this world at the age of 58. His real name is unknown or at least unrevealed, Price purposely kept it secret “like a fairy-tale character would,” since his work is “rooted profoundly in the story of family and the traumatic events of his personal history.” Price's visceral work, in which pain, violence, eschatology, and transgression were singularly combined and transformed into healing acts, pure and moving, is the subject of this screening.

At the invitation of la lumière collective, the artist-run filmlab Mire, based in Nantes (France), will present a program of films made in the lab over the years…

Mire’s lab is a shared space where one can work in Super 8 and 16mm. Flat printing, camera-less techniques, tinting and toning, sharp editing, found footage and shot images… experimentation is at the center of this space where individual endeavors are fueled through the exchange of aesthetic perspectives and technical knowledge.
