  • Scratch Projection: A tribute to Amy Halpern

    By on

    Amy Halpern (1953-2022) occupies a singular place in the history of American experimental cinema. She was a key figure who took part in many legendary film shoots and artistic projects, a tireless organizer who co-founded or directed several filmmakers’ associations, and, at the same time, an original and prolific filmmaker in her own right, whose works remained, until very recently, in the shadow of her contemporaries.

  • Xcèntric: Tom Chomont / Robert Beavers

    By on

    Intimacy, affections and creative exchanges between Tom Chomont and Robert Beavers are materialized in these films, in which the two filmmakers simultaneously develop the possibility of a lyrical cinema on the borderline between portrait and psychological drama, eroticism and formal stylization. Their frenetic meditations offer us complementary views of the splitting of the subject and the exploration of sexuality.

    Join us on January 25 at Heavy Manners Library for "Infrastructures," a screening program curated by Greg Jenkins, presented as part of the CalArts MFA Class of 2023 Postgraduate Exhibition.

How do we move through arenas that can often feel tailored to another time, another body, another circumstance?

  • Narcisa Hirsch, A Famous Unknown Filmmaker

    By on

    It’s almost criminal that Narcisa Hirsch isn’t a household name by now, at least in the homes of those passionate about the histories of performance art and cinema. Then again, the 95-year-old Hirsch, who was born in Berlin in 1928 and emigrated to Argentina in 1937, has playfully called herself una famosa cineasta desconocida (a famous unknown filmmaker), acknowledging her own marginalization but also the freedom that comes with some degree of anonymity.
