the anabasis... (film) : ERIC BAUDELAIRE 2011 66 minutes Super 8 and HD video excerpt : Who are May and Fusako Shigenobu? It is this complicated, dark, and always suspenseful story that Eric Baudelaire — an artist renowned for using photography as a means of questioning the staging of reality — chose to bring forth using the documentary format. Jean-Pierre Rehm (from the FID Marseille catalog) Qui sont May et Fusako Shigenobu ? C’est cette histoire complexe, sombre, toujours en suspens, qu’Éric Baudelaire, artiste réputé pour se servir de la photographie afin d’interroger la mise en scène de la réalité, a choisi d’évoquer en usant du format documentaire. Jean-Pierre Rehm (catalogue du FID Marseille) Few artists have shifted from revolutionary imagination to revolutionary action like Masao Adachi, a collaborator with both the Japanese New Wave and the Japanese Red Army. Jason Sanders (from the San Francisco International Film Festival catalog)

Apichatpong Weerasethakul | Primitive L’artista e filmmaker thailandese Apichatpong Weerasethakul presenta Primitive, progetto avviato nel 2009 ed esposto nella sua interezza in un allestimento appositamente concepito per gli spazi di HangarBicocca. Nel buio quasi totale dello Shed, lo spettatore è immerso in un’atmosfera magica e misteriosa evocata da immagini che alternano luce e ombra, videoclip e documentario, narrazione e silenzio totale, realtà e finzione, passato e futuro. Il racconto del regista parte da Nabua, villaggio nord-thailandese protagonista di tragiche repressioni e assedi da parte dell’esercito di Stato tra gli anni ’60 e ’80 del secolo scorso, la cui storia è ri-pensata e re-immaginata coinvolgendo i giovani del luogo – discendenti dei dissidenti di un tempo – con i quali l’artista ha vissuto e lavorato per alcuni mesi nell’estate 2008. © Foto: Agostino Osio© Foto: Niccolò Rastrelli
The Otolith Group Duplo Galeria Yael Bartana: And Europe Will Be Stunned; Elizabeth Price: Here – review | Art and design | The Observer And Europe Will Be Stunned is a deeply stirring and contentious film trilogy by the Dutch-Israeli artist Yael Bartana, soon to open in Britain on its European tour. Each film is enough to disturb; together they are peculiarly subversive. I do not know exactly what they might mean to Jewish, Israeli or Palestinian viewers, still less to a Polish audience watching some of the scenes unfolding on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto itself. But my sense is that an anxious concern for other people's reactions is at least part of the trilogy's content. In the first film, Nightmares (2007), a political leader strides into a Warsaw stadium to rally the crowds. But to whom does he speak: the Jews of modern Israel or the Jews of the past, murdered or vanished into exile? In the second film, Wall and Tower, now dressed as Jewish immigrants to 1930s Palestine, the pioneers build a settlement on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto. In the final part of the trilogy, the leader has been assassinated.
HILOMENTAL "Sesiones Videológicas" El sábado 12 de abril estaremos en TRANSFORMA en una sesión antológica. El lunes 24 de marzo, la primera de nuestras dos sesiones con motivo del 2do aniversario de HILOMENTAL. Tendremos el honor de contar con MERY CUESTA (comisaria, crítica, dibujante y baterista, merycuesta.com) como invitada. ¡Habrá regalos y sorpresas para todos! Una auténtica joya con la que nos deleitó Toni Serra en una sesión memorable. Para sacar a la superficie muchas de las perlas audiovisuales que andan por las profundidades de internet y contribuir a crear nuevas corrientes de influencia (de la mano de personas atentas y preparadas), más allá de las sugerencias que ofrecen las grandes televisiones o de los estrenos cinematográficos a la moda local. Solamente en la plataforma de Youtube se cargan cada minuto 48 horas de contenidos. Abu Ali empezó con esto nuestra sesión sobre la guerra. Presentación de HILOMENTAL en el periódico del ANTIC TEATRE.
