AVANT – Bodies and Boundaries 2017.09.08 – 2017.09.09Karlstad, Sweden

The point of departure of AVANT is in one of the most legendary artists when it comes to the socio-political dimensions of the body, VALIE EXPORT, followed by Jayne Parker’s early performance-based films.

AVANT 2016 - So Is This

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 27/06/2016 - 10:09

The 13th edition of AVANT is a tribute to Michael Snow’s film So Is This. A film that consists only of text and challenges the idea that film, or language, refers to a surrounding world. This, in So Is This is simply the event that unfolds when the film takes place.

Besides Michael Snow (Canada) the filmmakers Els van Riel (Belgium), Esther Urlus (Netherlands) and Elke Groen (Austria) are invited. All three deals with film as an event and with the material specificity of film; van Riel with time, Urlus with the materiality of film colour, and Groen with the actual memory of the film material.

Dates:
Friday, September 23, 2016 (All day) to Saturday, September 24, 2016 (All day)

Saturday opens with four films by Matthias Müller and Christoph Girardet who have excavated new stories from well-known movies by re-editing and assembling them anew.

After a two year break AVANT reopens with a program on amateur film. The program takes place on October 23 & 24 in Karlstad, Sweden.

The veterans from Vienna, Lisl Ponger and Tim Sharp, and the Finnish filmmaker Sami van Ingen exhibit work that they have made from amateur footage; revealing hidden histories and forgotten fantasies.

AVANT09: AVANT goes AMATEUR is a collaboration between the Värmland Region’s Centres for Film and Dance, Broby Grafiska, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Kristinehamn, Film Studies at Karlstad University and the Filmform foundation.

The event is free of charge but booking is mandatory.
