The world's first gallery for experimental cinema



Inaugurated in September 2005 in Paris, The Film Gallery is an outlet for the ongoing efforts of RE:VOIR to expose a wider audience to experimental films. As the first gallery in the world exclusively dedicated to experimental cinema, the mission of the Film Gallery is to promote artists whose work bridges the realms of cinema and domains such as the visual arts (Stéphane Marti, Jeff Scher, Paul Sharits), poetry (Peter Rose), sculpture, and performance arts. Some have participated in multidisciplinary movements such as Dadaism (Hans Richter, Viking Eggeling), Letterism (Maurice Lemaître), and Fluxus (Jonas Mekas, Jeff Perkins).

The Film Gallery also provides projection equipment to museums and galleries from New York to China, in order to screen film works on film rather than video. We rent projectors and loopers and offer maintenance services in Super-8mm, 16mm and 35mm. Museums we work with include the Pompidou Center, the Jeu de Paume Museum, The Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, the Palais de Tokyo, la Maison Populaire de Montreuil, the Armory Show, the Mudam Museum and many private galleries.

Alexandre Alexeieff



Alexandre Alexandrovitch Alexeieff was a Russian Empire-born artist, filmmaker and illustrator who lived and worked mainly in Paris. He and his second wife Claire Parker (1906–1981) are credited with inventing the pinscreen as well as the animation technique totalization. In all Alexeieff produced 6 films on the pinscreen, 41 advertising films and illustrated 41 books.

Born in Ufa, Russia in 1901, Alexandre Alexeïeff spent his childhood between Turkey and Russia. He moved to Paris in 1920 and worked as a stage designer and costume designer for directors such as Louis Jouvet, Georges Pitoëff and for the Ballets Russes and the Swedish Ballets. Passionate about drawing and engraving, he also illustrates many books by Giraudoux, Gogol, Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Poe, Malraux, Baudelaire ...


In 1931, Alexeïeff, with the help of his companion Claire Parker, wanted to give life to his engravings and developed a new animation technique known as the pin screen. Thousands of pins are fixed on a vertical panel lit by grazing light and can be driven in or out at will. The shadows of the pins make it possible to form an infinite variety of images that will then be filmed one by one.

In 1933, Alexandre Alexeïeff and Claire Parker made their first film together based on this technique, A Night on the Bald Mount, a fantastic illustration of the music of Modeste Moussorgsky. They will realize four others using this same technique: By the way (1944), The nose (1963), Pictures of an exhibition (1972) and Three themes (1980).

Alexandre Alexeïeff has also directed numerous commercials in animated volumes and tabulations, a technique invented by him which consists in generating with the help of pendulums, light patterns in long exposure. Alexandre Alexeïeff died in 1982.

Patrick Bokanowski



Patrick Bokanowski was born in 1943. From 1962 to 1966, he follows studies of photography, optics, of chemistry, under the direction of Henri Dimier, painter and scholar, specialist in the optical phenomena and the perspective systems. The animated films of Jean Mutschler are his first true window on the cinema, and a long time, animation will remain for him a kind of predilection at the same time as a privileged ground of experimentation. The images which it films, Patrick Bokanowski would like to make them more expressive, the more fluid forms: he then puts himself to collect ends of glass, curve, bullé, hammered and tries himself to film with through. The result not being completely convincing, it manufactures optics helped specialists and is interested in reflective surfaces then with the mirrors and the mercury baths, kinds of mirrors moving. Its technique of the reflective mirrors through which it films a completely distorted reality takes all its direction in "At the edge of the lake". This film required for its realization, an erudite provision of almost fifteen mirrors méticuleusement manufactured and selected among tens of samples of work. In thirty years, Patrick Bokanowski will carry out seven films, without words, where the music composed by his Michele wife, occupies a dominating place. He also exposes paintings, drawings and photographs.



Robert Breer



Robert Breer is both an artist and an animator. He lived in Paris from 1949 until 1959, and it was there that he started painting. FORM PHASES (1952) was one of his first films. He used an old Bolex camera for his earlier films, which were simple stop motion studies based on his abstract paintings. He began to experiment with flip books. These animations were done on 4”x6” cards. These cards have become the standard for all of Breer’s work even today. Breer’s early work was influenced by various European modern art movements of the early 20th century. Breer was associated with the Denise Rene Gallery, which specializes in geometric art. Here he also saw the abstract films of such pioneers as Hans Richter, Viking Eggeling, Walter Ruttman, and Fernand Léger. Breer acknowledges his respect for this purist, “cubist” cinema that uses geometric shapes moving in time and space. In Paris, in 1955, he helped organize and exhibited in a show called “Le Mouvement.” This paved the way for new cinema aesthetics. In the late 1950s Breer returned to the U.S. He taught at Cooper Union between 1971 and 2001.

Viking Eggeling



Viking Eggeling (1880-1925) Born in Sweden to a family of German origin, Viking Eggeling emigrated to Germany at the age of 17, where he became a bookkeeper, and studied art history as well as painting. From 1911 to 1915 he lived in Paris, then moved to Switzerland at the outbreak of World War I. In Zurich he became a associated with the Dada movement, became a friend of Hans Richter, Jean Arp, Tristan Tzara, and Marcel Janco. With the end of the Great War he moved to Germany with Richter where both explored the depiction of movement, first in scroll drawings and then on film. In 1922 Eggeling bought a motion picture camera, and working without Richter, sought to create a new kind of cinema. Axel Olson, a young Swedish painter, wrote to his parents in 1922 that Eggeling was working to "evolve a musical-cubistic style of film – completely divorced from the naturalistic style." In 1923 he showed a now lost, 10 minute film based on an earlier scroll titled Horizontal-vertical Orchestra. In the summer of 1923 he began work on Symphonie Diagonale. Paper cut-outs and then tin foil figures were photographed a frame at a time. Completed in 1924, the film was shown for the first time (privately) on November 5. On May 3, 1925 it was presented to the public in Germany; sixteen days later Eggeling died in Berlin. For more on Eggeling see the book Viking Eggeling 1880-1925 by Louise O’Konor.

Marcel Hanoun



Marcel Hanoun, born on 22 October 1929 in Tunis, Tunisia and died 22 September 2012 in Créteil, France was a filmmaker, photographer and French author. He is best known for his films “La Nuit Claire”, “Une Simple Histoire” and “L’Hiver”.

Takahiko Iimura



Takahiko Iimura has been a pioneer artist of Japanese experimental film and video, working in film since 1960 and with video since 1970. He is also a widely established international artist, having numerous exhibitions in Japan, the USA, and in Europe. One of his early films, "Onan", was awarded Special Prize at the legendary Brussels International Experimental Festival, 1964. Recently he has been involved in using the computer, publishing multimedia CD-ROMs/DVDs combining film, video, graphics, text, and animation.

Iimura is one of the pioneers of cinema, video and installation production in Japan. He began his artistic career producing experimental films in the sixties in New York. In 1962 he made his first experimental film, “Junk”, on ecological issues. He followed this with other productions such as “Love” (1962) and “Onan” (1962) that explored erotic images and social criticism. His first audiovisual installations, which included “Dead movie” (1964) and “Projection piece” (1968) used film projections.

In 1970 he produced his first video work, “Blinking”. In the nineties he produced multimedia works such as “AIUEONN six feature” (1993), an interactive version of the installation of the same name. In 1997 he produced “Meta media”, a complex interactive installation in which the visitors control the images of his first cinema productions.

In 2001 he exhibited the video installation “Observer/observed” at the Laboratorio Arte Alameda in Mexico. In 2002 he presented the audiovisual installation “Seeing/hearing/speaking” at the Art Village Center, Kobe, Japan. This is based on “Speech and Phenomena", a book by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, and looks at the relation between talking and hearing through videos produced between 1978 and 2001, which can be viewed in linear format or in fragments.

His work has won various awards, and has been shown at numerous festivals and exhibitions in many different countries around the world.

Christian Lebrat



Christian Lebrat (born in 1952) is a filmmaker, video artist, photographer and French editor. Since 1976, Lebrat created twenty films, videos and performances to film. These works are in the collections of the Centre Georges Pompidou and the FNAC (National Fund of Contemporary Art). Lebrat was inspired by abstract expressionist painting, especially paintings by Mark Rothko, and secondly, by the radicalism of films by Peter Kubelka which he published the first monograph. Lebrat’s films can be characterized by the decomposition of the image particles (strips of light) with the goal to blow up the frame of the image and form novel color intensities. Lebrat did not intend total abstraction but rather the culmination of a narrative and conceptual film. Lately, he incorporated the paint directly on film in his work and has developed a video work in the form of a projection or installation.

In 1950, Lemaître becomes very invested in the Lettrist group and created in the same year the "Youth Front", a political journal; while simultaneously creating a literary and pictorial magazine, entitled "Ur," which remains as "The Minotaur" of lettrism. Since his literary creations, Lemaître has continued to develop various fields within the Lettrist movement: poetry, theater, dance, novel, painting, photography, film, economy, psychopathology and psychotherapy . Despite his dedication to the movement, since 2000, Lemaître distanced himself from the movement and is now relatively isolated from the main group.

She is a member of Burstscratch, a non-profit group that organizes screenings and production workshops for creating handmade and experimental films and also manages an artist-run film laboratory in Strasbourg. She works in super-8 and 16mm, experimenting with non-standard shooting and chemical development techniques.

She is pursuing installation work, creating objects and machines that are always inspired by film projection, or more precisely, shadow and light, movement, optical illusion, magic and time.

Her work takes place over several phases of research and experimentation. In her installations, films are projected as loops using several projectors at once along a course of phantom screens of all sizes and shapes. Each installation is unique, built for and by the space in an attempt to imagine and other harmonious artistic interventions. The installations are modifiable in structure.

Stéphane Marti



Stéphane Marti (born January 7, 1951 in Algiers) is a filmmaker, visual artist and teacher as well as a user of Super 8, which he has practiced for 70 years and does everything he can for it to survive the digital age. He studied under Dominique Neguez, an advocate and theoretician of experimental film, Michel Journiac, a major protagonist of the Body art and Andrew Almuro, a composer of electroacoustic music. From 1985 to 2007, he worked at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Art from the University of Paris 1 Sorbonne and shared his experience to new generations of filmmakers in workshops. Moreover, he organizes several screenings of films from his workshops, "the Smarti Brigades". In his films, Marti works around issues of the body, the sacred, of gender identity disorder and strategies of desire. Attached immediately by critics at the "School of the body" cinema revolves primarily around issues of the body and the sacred, of gender identity disorder and strategies of desire. Always chiseling his films by the super 8 that combines visual splendor with artistic and against-cultural independence, he designed a operatic esthetics of the intimacy, whose mannerist decadence, the telluric forces, the splendor rituals, golds and purples forge baroque and flamboyant coordinated its "small theaters of the body". Meanwhile, he engages in other practices such as painting, photography, installation, projection environments and shapes Totems facts assemblies, photomontages and objects from his own films and create, their combination, endless narratives, torn, fragmented as we know them in his films. Since, in particular, The City of nine gates (Grand different cinema award and award of criticism in Hyères festival in 1977), his film work has been shown in a large number of festivals and national and international events (in Montreal , New York, London, Tokyo, etc.) and generated numerous articles and interviews.

Then came the mother and the earth. Though the two cancel each other out, they can also be totally inter-changeable. this one's for Johnny. It's all for Johnny ..Johnny Yen..if you didn't grow up in a city by a river, it might be hard for you to understand. back to the movies...they're back and forth (with angles). they are about this. for a one night paris situation. thank you. amy granat 4/2006 Amy Granat was born in Saint Louis MO 1976.
