Professor Emeritus Manny Farber, JP Gorin

The Way of the Termite: The Essay Film

November 6 through December 3, 2009

Cinematheque Ontario, Jackman Hall, Art Gallery of Ontario, 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON M5T 1G4 Canada

Cinematheque Ontario is honoured to welcome Jean-Pierre Gorin, celebrated filmmaker and professor at University of California, San Diego, to guide us through this essential series on the “essay film,” one of the most exciting and elusive genres in contemporary cinema. In many ways a salient postscript to our successful nouvelle vague show this past summer, this series, which will run over two successive seasons, forms an inevitable, if shape-shifting portrait of cinematic auterism – which pre-dates Alexandre Astruc’s infamous coining of the term “caméra-stylo.” With examples by Chris Marker, Dziga Vertov, Luis Buñuel, Orson Welles, Chantal Akerman, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Gorin himself, as well as his Dziga Vertov group collaborations with Jean-Luc Godard, various incarnations of the essay film will emerge, from the analytic and the ruminative to the incendiary.

CICLO RÍETE MI AMOR / Laugh my Darling Cycle
Laugh, my darling. Humour in feminist / Queer contemporary cinema

A screening series curated by Laida Lertxundi
in conjunction with
ZineBi 51, Bilbao International Film Festival.

November 24-27th, 2009

Guggenheim Museum Auditorium, Bilbao, Spain

Ríete Mi Amor, A screening series at the Guggenheim Bilbao, curated by Laida Lertxundi in conjunction with ZineBi 51, Bilbao International Film Festival. Kaucyla Brooke, Jane Cottis, Sadie Benning, A.S.M. Kobayashi and Kalup Linzy, a wide cross section of American and Canadian directors who have been working for years in the field of experimental cinema, form part of this short season with their recent films, which are a genuine hybrid of genres that include fiction, documentaries and filmed performances. The common denominator in these extraordinary audiovisual pieces is laughter, which appears in all of them to provide support for a profound critique whose aim is to question what is called gender normality and to make humour the basic element of queer theory and post-modern feminist discourse.
