  • Close-Up: In Memoriam: Frans Zwartjes

    By on

    Frans Zwartjes passed away on November 18, 2017. He was ninety years old.

    Best known for his experimental shorts produced in the 1960s and 70s, Zwartjes was goth before there was such a thing (which the culture has since determinedly undermined). He was the first artist to unlock the potential of the selfie (which the culture has since determinedly undermined), and he was the precursor to the Fassbindian approach to "family" filmmaking (which the culture has since determinedly avoided). Susan Sontag called Zwartjes "the most important experimental filmmaker of his generation", and he has been either cited or ripped off whole-sale by a generation of artists and filmmakers since.

  • Light Movement 26: Dore O.

    By on

    Dore O.’s films seem to claim a certain uniqueness and independence from the dominant, yet diverse and irreducible currents of German experimental cinema. As the critic Dietrich Kuhlbrodt declared already in 1988: »Dore O. has become classic, and suddenly it turns out that her work has passed the various currents of time unharmed: the time of the cooperative union, the women's film, the structuralists and grammarians, the teachers of new ways of seeing ...

  • Edge of Frame: You, Me, Them

    By on

    You, Me, Them presents ten films exploring disconnection and the limits of communication. Language and images can often be misleading and inadequate but when recontextualised, distorted or ruptured, we can sometimes glimpse what lurks behind the surface. Mixing rarely screened historical work with recent and brand new films, this diverse selection of experimental animation features a wide range of techniques including drawing, watercolour, CG and optical printing.
