Illuminating Vision (II): Between Images
The CCCB's cinema
Audiovisuals
These two sessions (Illuminating Vision I and II) dialogue with a book of interviews with essential filmmakers for the history of Xcèntric. The publication consists in 15 conversations about the creative process and filmic vision, in image form, where the filmmakers talk about their working methods and aesthetic ideas.
This programme journeys through the artistic possibilities that come to life between images, thanks to editing inventions. Presenting images in a heterogeneous arc —with their differences and collisions— of short pieces by great filmmakers, running through characteristic ideas of their artisan work and thinking about the material: how to venture and travel though the images, interpreting them; how to reveal visions and perceptive worlds with the camera, in the face of our pictorial inheritance; how to conceive the relation between image and text, the experience of poetry and cinema; how to create an emotional time by filming bodies, nature or landscape.
