Program One: Images |
Friday, June 28, 2024, 7 pm Modern artists invented new forms of image-making, from photography, to papier-collé, to gestural painting, and these techniques influenced cinema in turn. This program explores images and their surfaces through films that have been incised, painted, tinted, cut, or collaged. It also includes films that create after-images in the retina, treating the eye itself as a surface for composition. Live music by Cecilia Lopez Free Radicals (1958), Len Lye, sound, 4 min. 58 sec.

Program Two: Objects |
Saturday, June 29, 2024, 7 pm In the hands of modern artists, sculpture was loosed from its pedestal and freed from representing the human form. Filmmakers captured sculptors at work but also experimented with object-making themselves via animation. Mannequins and dolls became subjects of fascination, as directors tried to grapple with the enigmatic and disconcerting nature of inanimate figures. This program includes films that depict or contain volumetric forms. Live music by Mary Halvorson and Tomas Fujiwara Sort of a commercial for an icebag (1969), Michael Hugo, sound, 14 min.
