Edinburgh : Edinburgh International Film Festival

3:30 pm, Filmhouse 2, 88 Lothian Road
EIFF: CITYSCAPES
A journey through the cities of London, New York, Prague, Bombay and
Vienna. The films in this varied programme explore the emotional,
psychological, social, political and formal aspects of the city
experience and its multifaceted role in contemporary capitalist society
and economic collapse. Moments of frenetic activity are contrasted with
quiet contemplation, and surveillance aesthetics with sinister overtones
sit alongside surreal and unsettling exposés of urban alienation and
commodity culture. Screenings in this programme: ACHTUNG/HALLO 35

DISTILLED MOTION I
Allow your eyes to be hypnotized and your mind to be fooled into seeing
things that never were. Thousands of individually rendered frames
express movement not captured but merely implied. Some works possess a
quiet grace; some produce a wonderful malaise through a combination of
colors, textures and sounds. All willfully exploit the entrancing
flicker of analog film projection. PROGRAM / Zeil-Film, Urs Breitenstein

ONION CITY - NICOLáS PEREDA’S ALL THINGS WERE NOW OVERTAKEN BY SILENCE +
SHORTS
All Things Were Now Overtaken by Silence (2009, 61 min., Video,
Mexico/Canada) by Nicolás Pereda /// "Nicolás Pereda's stunning and
spacious black and white feature is a film within a film, in which a
crew sets up for and shoots a performance by actress, director,
performance artist and political activist Jesusa Rodriguez. Amidst a
sparsely lit set, she recites the poem Primero sueño (First I Dream) by
the 17th century Mexican writer Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz while the crew
works in fits and starts, positioning and repositioning the lighting and
camera in take after take. A meditation on the concept of silence within
filmmaking, Pereda's film moves at a languorous pace. The film almost
completely resists an image, favoring a deep, atmospheric blackout with
brief glimpses of light punctuating this emptiness to illustrate a body,
a lamp, or the architecture of the room. Echoing this visual
relationship between dark and light, Primero sueño – Sor Juana's most
well-known work – is heard in flashes, as a poetic rupture during the
banal back-and-forth of the crew as they film Rodriguez. Sor Juana's
poem is composed of a dream-like narrative, which can very generally be
described as chronicling a soul's search for knowledge. The film
embodies not only a formal manifestation of these concepts, but a more
engaged relationship through the context of Sor Juana's history and the
extensive feminist and political overtones that characterize the work of
Jesusa Rodriguez. Pereda's narrative functions much as the poem: a
baroque, poetic account that fluidly moves between the ethereal and the
earthly. Using Sor Juana's narrative and its frequent references to
silence, both literal and metaphorical, Pereda's film is an exploration
of silence as an aesthetic, intellectual and narrative construct."

MINORITY REPORT: REPRESENTING GAYS, LESBIANS AND THE SEXUAL ‘OTHER’ IN
SEXPLOITATION FILMS LECTURE & SCREENING: ERIC SCHAEFER IN PERSON!
"Softcore sexploitation movies of the 1960s and '70s tend to be
recognized for their overwhelmingly heterosexual orientation, from the
first 'nudie-cuties' in the early '60s to the teen sex comedies of the
late '70s that closed out the cycle. But for many years they explored
alternatives to normative heterosexuality. Sexploitation films offered
up a parade of predatory lesbians, bewildered bisexuals, lonely sidewalk
cowboys, and others living on society's sexual margins. Using images and
film clips from movies such as Suburbia Confidential (1966), She-Man
(1967), All the Way Down (1968), Therese and Isabelle (1968), The
Meatrack (1970) and others, this presentation will offer an overview of
the ways sexploitation movies dealt with sexual minorities from the
mid-1960s through the early 1970s—a time when mainstream Hollywood was
only beginning to gingerly approach the theme. While often framing queer
identities as pathological, some films offered surprisingly sympathetic
portrayals of individuals who, at the time, were forced to suppress
their sexuality or live their lives in the shadows." (Eric Schaefer)

ONION CITY - MADISON BROOKSHIRE'S COLOR SERIES
Color Series (2010, 74 min., 16mm, US) by Madison Brookshire /// "A
series of 6 films that form one work. Each film fades between colors.
They are made without a camera, using only the lights of the printing
process at the lab. The fades are slow enough that they engage the
viewer in a dialogue about the border between the work and his or her
own perception of it. The subject of the work is duration and color is
the medium through which we experience it. The converse is also true:
the subject is color and duration is the medium. The effect is a direct
experience of time and vision." (Migrating Forms festival)

ONION CITY - JAMES FOTOPOULOS' ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Alice in Wonderland (2010, 99 min., Video, US) by James Fotopoulos ///
An adaptation of the 1886 musical Alice in Wonderland: A Dream Play for
Children by Henry Saville Clark and Walter Slaughter. James Fotopoulos'
feature length film Alice in Wonderland, inspired by a 2003 Lewis
Carroll photography exhibit, propels the Clark/Slaughter musical score
into the 21st century digital age. Sculptures, drawings, text, and
original music are used to explore the late 19th century's evolution of
painting, literature, and theatre into early photography and moving
pictures. The piece probes the interplay of art and science and in
exploring these ideas certain lives and themes are touched upon – the
relationship between John Ruskin and Lewis Carroll, Ruskin's theories on
drawing, Thomas Eakins' painting and his use of photography, the
burgeoning of early cinema with Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne-Jules
Marey, the notions of the amateurism and professionalism in art and the
archetype of the condemned artist. The work is presented in two acts
remaining faithful to the musical's original construction based upon
Carroll's narratives. (JF)
