Dear Frameworkers
Just a note to let you know that today we are launching the 9th edition of (S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico, that will take place in A Coruña, Northern Spain, during the next 10 days.
Under the title Lux Algebra, this edition refers to the concept of algebra – the branch of mathematics that studies the combination of elements of abstract structures according to certain rules – and that of lux – the unit of measurement of light-, with the intention of insisting on the cinema as a result of a combination of elements, and through the selection of works in which time and structure are fundamental. With key figures such as Ernie Gehr and Kurt Kren, and filmmakers such as Scott Stark and Chris Kennedy (as well as two programs of historical and contemporary films, one of them on Structural Sound curated by Albert Alcoz), we will break down the theme of this new edition.
Another of the essential figures that will visit the Mostra is the Canadian Philip Hoffman, one of the masters of the art of the personal cinema and diary film, and promoter of the educational project Film Farm. The filmmaker Friedl vom Gröller will be in A Coruña with her 16mm portraits, continuing her portentous work in the field of photography, and the Argentinian filmmaker Pablo Mazzolo will present a program on his work. The seminal independent film distributor Canyon Cinema, which has been 50 years active will celebrate its anniversary here with a program curated by Antonella Bonfanti, under the title California Dreaming,
In the classic section DESBORDAMIENTOS, we will have the film performances by the Colombian-German duo based in Berlin Ojoboca, who will premiere a new work in (S8), in addition to the works by Scott Stark, Pablo Mazzolo and Tono Mejuto, who will premiere Reliefs, the result of the first BAICC residence, organized by the (S8) in collaboration with Acción Cultural Española and Toronto LIFT.
SINAIS continues to bring Galician cinema to front, this time with a complete retrospective of the combative work of María Ruido. In addition, SINAIS EN CURTO collects the best of the Galician filmmakers, with works by Alberte Pagán, Lara and Noa Castro, Ángel Santos, Helena Girón and Samuel Delgado, finishing with Marcos Pérez and Martin Pawley.
Regarding exhibitions, we will have an exhibition on film diagrams and scores, Cinema on Paper (with works by Paul Sharits, Rose Lowder, Kurt Kren, R. Bruce Elder, Bill Brand, Peter Kubelka, Lis Rhodes and Dora Maurer), that will have a special presentation during the days of the festival of Lis Rhodes' Light Music (courtesy of LUX). We also have an installation by Ernie Gehr, As If, as well as a exhibition of video works by Galician filmmaker María Ruido.
