featuring international and interstate wonders:
* SUPERFLUX (France)
Cinema / Film / Sound
website - http://www.lionelpalun.com/superflux/indexE.html
SUPERFLUX gather together four improvisers from Grenoble, France who are involved in experimental film, video and sound making for 15 years. Gaëlle Rouard, Lionel Palun, Richarles Bronson and Riojim have been members of the programming team at the 102, a venue dedicated to experimental arts, hosting most of the foremost improvisers of new music. It is natural that their art culture and sensibility turn them toward the practice of improvisation that they understand as a quick and profound reaction to events where each performance is constructed for a particular time and place. Citing Jim Denley, these artists also believe that exploring the moment of creation - when an idea, feeling or gesture is first expressed - is to take part in the most exciting adventure possible, not only for the artist but also for the audience! Gaëlle Rouard and Riojim run the Atelier MTK, a cinema processing facility open to artists who want to experience all the possibilities that film medium have to offer. www.filmlabs.org
The SUPERFLUX program for this special event is as follows :
FILMBASE - Lionel palun (video) & Riojim (16mm films)
Duration : 20min
http://vimeo.com/11900797
Filmbase is a video vs cinema 16 mm live improvisation.
In a genuine gesture of instrumentist, Filmbase develops a set of rythm and texture research, visual and sound compositions, which gives enter to a new substance…
Lionel Palun defined is work as electro-video. In Filmbase he does not use prepared image, he refilm ligth sent by Riojim. From the software he has developed, he worked in direct image by filtering feedback, delay and movements. Riojim feeds the equation with his 16 mm films projections. Images are shot and processed at Atelier MTK, a cinema laboratory for artists.
15 minutes break for technical change
LAFOXE - Gaëlle Rouard (16mm films) & Riojim (16mm films)
Duration : 30min
http://www.vimeo.com/2462893
The images used are mainly found footages worked over again chemically in their laboratory. This performance is a game of disassembling conventional narrative mechanics. Irreverent and free handling inflicted to films and projectors turns over the spectator. He’s the witness of the collapsing narrative pretext and find himself projected in the very matter of the cinematographic process.
A cinema whose ultimate transformation is definitively not placed on the film.http://www.mtk.ecrandamour.org/?s=english
15 minutes break for technical change
METALKING - Hallucinating high energy noise cinema !
Richarles Bronson ( Bass + electronics) & Riojim ( 16mm films)
A MetalkinG performance is a concentrated and intense affair : equipped with the barest essentials, a bass guitar and a couple of electronics junks, Bronson improvises fast and loud japanoïse. Riojim work methods are as crudely effective as those of Bronson: he apply severe treatment to the projector, play around with the film and the homemade optical sound-on-film.
Duration : 30min
