Xcèntric: Flores de asfalto

By Marcos Ortega on Vie, 17/02/2023 - 04:33

Los protagonistas de estas películas-trance, soñadores y visionarios, inician sus búsquedas eróticas mientras atraviesan diferentes estados mentales y anímicos. Mediante símbolos o metáforas visuales, narraciones elípticas y diferentes estrategias de montaje, Markopoulos aborda los temas de la revelación de la identidad sexual (Flowers of Asphalt), el rechazo del rol heterosexual masculino (Swain) o el deseo sexual no consumado (The Mysteries).

NOTHINGTOSEENESS: All or Nothing

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 30/11/2021 - 06:20

“You cannot apply the principles of painting to a medium that is not painting.” (Paul Sharits).

Film has laws of its own, but along with the other arts in the period around 1960 it searched for certain “zero points” that didn't revolve around nothing, but the whole. This three-part film programme, curated by Alexander Horwath and Regina Schlagnitweit, includes works from the period between 1958 and 2021 – by Stephanie Barber, Yves-André Delubac, Hollis Frampton, Jorge Lorenzo, Ernst Schmidt Jr., Aldo Tambellini, Joyce Wieland and many more. It also offers rare insight into Gregory Markopoulos’s cinematic life’s work ENIAIOS (1947–91), presented by the film artist Robert Beavers.

“The gatekeepers exist to be overthrown.” - Amos Vogel, Repeats and Responses

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 14/09/2021 - 09:26

“The most important question – Where is the experimental film movement? – is the one which I wish someone could answer for me”, wrote Maya Deren in August 1946 to the filmmaker Frank Stauffacher who was preparing a program for the San Francisco Museum of Art called “Art in Cinema”. Deren, who was 29 at the time, was a reference because in 1943 she had already started showing the experimental films she made with Alexander Hammid to a select audience.

The Pursuit of Wholeness pays tribute to seminal avant-garde filmmaker Gregory Markopoulos, with rare 16mm screenings of two of Markopoulos’ most acclaimed films and an exclusive preview of film critic Georgia Korossi’s documentary Devotion, a film that gives precious testimony of the 2016 edition of Temenos, the quadrennial event of screenings of Markopoulos’ monumental Eniaios.

El cine de Gregory J. Markopoulos

By Marcos Ortega on Lun, 15/10/2018 - 06:32

Gregory J. Markopoulos (1928-92) fue uno de los cineastas más originales que surgió en la America de la postguerra. Sus películas abarcaron temas míticos, retratos y estudios de paisajes y arquitectura y han obtenido un reconocimiento muy amplio por su extraordinaria creatividad, el sensual uso del color y la innovación que representan en el uso de la forma cinemática. Por medio del uso de técnicas de montaje muy complejas y la superposición espontánea en cámara, buscó siempre la manera de liberar el misterio y energia que contiene un frame.

Movement as Meaning in Experimental Cinema
Movement as Meaning in Experimental Cinema offers sweeping and cogent arguments as to why analytic philosophers should take experimental cinema seriously as a medium for illuminating mechanisms of meaning in language. Using the analogy of the movie projector, Barnett deconstructs all communication acts into functions of interval, repetition and context. He describes how Wittgenstein's concepts of family resemblance and language games provide a dynamic perspective on the analysis of acts of reference.

Light Movement 18: Gregory Markopoulos

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 07/02/2017 - 04:35

For this months screening we are extremely lucky to have access to two prints of films by Gregory J. Markopoulos -the longer duration of Twice a Man, in which the filmmaker pushes his vision of an entirely new narrative cinematic form, followed by Bliss, a six minute film portraying with typical Markopoulos restrictiveness, an interior of an 18th century Byzantine Church on Hydra in Greece.
