Projeter est une performance: Stephanie Creaghan, opening conference
"Filming, performing", it is under this simple formulation that we are presenting our third edition of the symposium dedicated to experimental cinema. This form is indeed very regularly linked to performance, even if it is produced before the screening of the films. We propose live performances in which the film medium is reworked, triturated, and returned to its lively expressiveness. Some more general interventions (experimental cinema in Quebec, video experimentation in the feminine, panorama of the current Canadian experimental cinema) complete the program.
Conference by Stéphanie Creaghan, video and visual artist
Followed at 4:30 pm by the official opening of the symposium (Frendly gathering at the bar).
For some time now, visual artist and cinephile Stéphanie Creaghan has been in dialogue with the Cinémathèque québécoise's programming team. Her lecture will address her experimental programming project, which runs parallel to our regular programming. By way of complement, counterpoint or commentary, she aims to insert short films within our programming. What visual and plastic strategies should be initiated to achieve this? These and other questions will be at the heart of her talk.
