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.

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.

Michael Trigilio - Working with video, music and other media, I investigate our cultural infatuation with popular media, anxiety, and narcissism. I vacillate among forms ranging from abstraction to portraiture, documentary, and satire. I enjoy telling jokes and I try to exploit the moment just after the punchline when one is left with the lingering subtleties of social disease.

HEAVEN

2nd Athens Biennale 2009

June 15 through October 4, 2009

Athens

The 2nd Athens Biennale 2009 HEAVEN is conceived as a multifaceted contemporary art festival that extends along the coastline of Athens, in the central areas of Palaio Faliro and Kallithea. XYZ, the founders and artistic directors of the Athens Biennale have invited a selected group of curators to contemplate Heaven, in a time that arguably is one of disappointment and conflict. The six exhibitions of the 2nd Athens Biennale 2009, designed by architect Andreas Angelidakis, take the form of autonomous approaches to this broad subject, that nevertheless communicate creatively and claim a degree of narrative cohesion. These six exhibitions are complemented by a series of performative events lasting all through the summer.

Babette Mangolte: 'The Sky on location' at the OCA, Norway - May 27 '09

Tue, 26 May 2009 10:02:15 -0700

Babette Mangolte

'The Sky on Location'

Wednesday, May 27, 2009 | 7PM

Office for Contemporary Art Norway, Nedre gate 7, 0551 Oslo, Norway

Babette Mangolte presents a lecture dealing with the issues of landscape films and the concept of wilderness. As a part of her presentation, she will screen The Sky On Location, a 16 mm film (78 min) shot in 1982, in which Mangolte approaches the question: is it possible to confront nature with a real purity of vision? The film, show at several international film festival among which were the Edinburgh Film Festival (1983), Toronto Film Festival (1983) Berlin and Cologne (2005), is a personal mediation on the landscape of the American West. The Sky On Location tracks the ruling conception of nature in the 19th and 20th centuries from the pioneers through the 'instamatic' tourists while obsessively following the four seasons. Ernest Larsen writes about the film: 'the elemental vicissitudes of the weather, the exact moment of the day, the colour of the light and the soil and the trees form an acute visual record of the constantly changing mood of the landscape – the film successfully attempts, with quiet, passionate, almost single-minded firmness, to confront us as nakedly as possible with our cultural inability to see nature whole, without preconceptions.'
