Cinéma expérimental

Ce mois-ci, nous présentons deux séances de cinéma expérimental à l'occasion de la parution du livre Expanded Nature : Ecologies du cinéma expérimental sous la direction de Elio Della Noce et Lucas Murari aux Light Cone Editions. La première réunit des cinéastes qui, alors que notre époque est marquée par l’ampleur des actions humaines sur le reste du vivant (l’Anthropocène), s’engagent dans des pratiques écologiques qui tendent à un décentrement du privilège attribué à l’humain. La seconde est l'occasion de découvrir l'ensemble des films d'Emmanuel Lefrant, le directeur de Light Cone, qui collabore régulièrement la Cinémathèque québécoise.


Présenté en collaboration avec Leadership for the Ecozoic, Critical Media Lab (McGill Anthropology Department), Hors Champ et Visions

In the presence of Ieva Balode, co-founder of the Baltic Analog Lab and director of the experimental Process festival in Riga.

Synopsis

Each year the Baltic programme unites the latest films by authors from the region. It includes works by long-term experimental filmmakers, who shoot their films on 16mm and 8mm film formats, as well as the ever growing numbers of new authors. This year new authors are especially dominant thanks to the BAL film school that started last autumn, as well as the experimental film course at the LKA National film school. Many films in the programme, either directly or metaphorically, reflect on the experiences that we all met during the pandemic. This reveals itself through in-depth self- reflection, anxiety and, in the end, self acceptance.
