Celluloid and Self-Sufficiency: Artist-Run Labs
Elena Duque
The demise of the celluloid industrial sector is being countered by ingenuity and strength in unity, film DIY has survived and is taking on the world.
Hannes Schüpbach introduces "The Beauty of My Island. The World of Klaus Lutz"
Hannes Schüpbach leads us into the world of Swiss artist Klaus Lutz (1940-2009), by means of the simultaneous screening of his films on a screen and balloons, a talk about his work and a documentary by Frank Matter on his creative process.
Hannes Schüpbach introduces "Patterns in a Chromatic Field"
The films of Hannes Schüpbach interweave light, colour, gesture, and many details of everyday spaces to create highly lyrical images. This session will be attended by the Swiss filmmaker, who will be presenting his films.
Albert Alcoz introduces "Noise and soundscape in structural film"
The filmmakers who practise the technical and aesthetic considerations of structural film work with sound from disruptive stances. Graphic manipulations on the optical soundtrack of the celluloid and alterations to ambient sound offer acoustic dialogues about noise and soundscape.
Daniel Villamediana introduces "Cábala Caníbal"
Daniel Villamediana introduces Cábala Caníbal, a film that applies the Judeo-Spanish Kabbalah to the cinema, creating a new way of working with historic and personal memory.
Touching the Images
The Cinema of the Xcèntric Archive
“En gran parte de estos filmes, rodados de manera artesanal o casera, se revela un sentido de la intimidad propia de lo autobiográfico, pero en la que los gestos creativos devienen una pedagogía crítica de las imágenes, y un ars poetica del cine y el pensamiento visual.”
