> *(S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico* is reaching its 10th edition. The
> event will take place *from May 31th to June 9th (the main screenings
> will be from June 4th to 9th)*, in the city of *A Coruña, Northern Spain*.
> A special date for us, that we want to celebrate sharing with you the
> highlights of our program.
>
> Following our idea of bringing to A Coruña some canonical and relevant
> figures of avant garde cinema’s history, we will be featuring a special
> program around MALCOLM LE GRICE (in attendance), one of the key figures
> in the foundation of the London Film-makers Co op, and a pioneer in the
> field of expanded cinema, filmmaker and theorist. This program will include
> two screening featuring works from the 60s to the 2010s, a evening of
> performances and multi-screen works (he include iconic works, such as Castle
> 1 and Horror Film 1), and a lecture on his work.
>
> In our reflection of the contemporary experimental film practices, this
> year we will bring the work of the British based in LA CHARLOTTE PRYCE,
> that will include her two magic lantern performances, along with a
> projection of her films.
>
> The Chilean filmmaker based in Switzerland, JEANNETTE MUÑOZ, will be
> featured in program that will be a hybrid of lecture and screening, in
> which she will present her main 16mm projects along with a performative
> work.
>
> We will also put a special focus on Mexican cinema, around the LEC
> (Laboratorio Experimental de Cine) collective, based in DF. This is an
> organization that works in the production of hybrid forms of film, analog
> filmmaking, and also works as a center for “spreading the word” on these
> practices organizing screenings and workshops. In this special focus, we
> will have a performance evening with *Elena Pardo and Morris Manuel
> Trujillo*, LEC founders, a special program of films made by members of
> the collective, and a monographic program to the Mexican filmmaker AZUCENA
> LOSANA, in which she will show a selection of her super 8 and 16mm films,
> as well as three super 8 performances.
>
> We will also feature a special program on the Peruvian filmmaker based in
> Toronto MADI PILLER. Piller will show a selection of her hybrid work,
> that mixes digital and analog techniques, animation and image manipulation,
> and she will work a workshop on analog film and sound manipulation.
>
> We will put a special focus on experimental film preservation and
> restoration. We will have four lectures on the topic:
>
>
>    -
>
>    Multi-disciplinary artist BILL BRAND is well known for his
>    preservation work with Super 8 and other small gauge films. In this lecture
>    he will discuss the changing methods he has employed to restore Super 8
>    films. He will talk about how similar interests and urges motivate both his
>    preservation work and his work as an artist across mediums. Besides his
>    lecture, he will be introducing a screening of his film works.
>    -
>
>    We will have a master class by MARK TOSCANO, a filmmaker, curator, and
>    film preservationist based in Los Angeles. Since 2003, he has worked at the
>    Academy Film Archive, where he specializes in the curation, conservation,
>    and preservation of artists' films. This master class will be complemented
>    by a carte blanche to Mark Toscano under the name “Window Lights for
>    Wanderers”, a screening in which he will show some of the works he has
>    preserved, including films by *Chick Strand, Dana Plays, Sharon
>    Couzin, Stan Brakhage, Barbara Hammer,Thom Andersen, James Benning and Pat
>    O’Neill*
>
>
>    -
>
>    The Canadian researcher, scholar and curator JANINE MARCHESSAULT will
>    talk about her project Archive/Counter-Archive: Activating Canada’s Moving
>    Image Heritage (A/CA). This project addresses not only the challenges of
>    preservation in the digital era, but also the preservation and activation
>    of Canada’s most precarious audiovisual heritage (media arts made by women,
>    Indigenous Peoples, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, two-spirited
>    and queer (LGBT2Q) community, and archives from Canada’s immigrant
>    communities.
>    -
>
>    ROSS LIPMAN, the American restorationist, independent filmmaker and
>    essayist, will present his performative lecture *EXPLODING DIGITAL
>    INEVITABLE*. In this very particular lecture/essay/performance, he
>    talks about about the context and the making of the film *Crossroads**,
>    by Bruce Conner* (with music by Terry Riley), and also the details of
>    the restoration and preservation of the piece in this era. This lecture
>    will be followed by the screening of the restored version of Crossroads
>    .
>
>
> The program will end with a *panel* with the four lecturers, along with
> some Spanish specialists in preservation.
>
> Every year we invite a festival or distributor to organize a carte blanche
> of their work and ·”spirit”. Last year we had the distribution cooperative
> based in LA Canyon Cinema, with a program curated by Antonella Bonfanti,
> and this year we will feature a special program on LUX London curated by
> their deputy director María Palacios Cruz. This program, “Nothing is
> Something. Gestures from the LUX Collection”, will comprise a selection of
> works by *Anne Rees-Mogg, Margaret Tait, Annabel Nicolson, Lucy Parker,
> Alia Syed, Manon de Boer, Luke Fowler, Laida Lertxundi and Moira Sweeney*.
>
> Completing our performance nights program, besides the evenings devoted to
> Malcolm Le Grice and LEC Collective, we will feature the performance WAVELENGTH,
> by the Italian filmmaker based in France Stefano Canapa, as well as the
> presentation of the project supported by BAICC, the residency program by
> (S8) Cinema Periférico, LIFT (Toronto) and Acción Cultural Española. The
> project selected this year is PMC – Principio Máquina de Coser, by
> Prismáticas, a collective formed by Pilar Monsell and Aitziber Olaskoaga.
> This is a project for the construction of the first prototype of the SEE(W)ING
> MACHINE, a machine that combines the machinery of a film projector with
> the one of a sewing machine, so you can sew and project at the same time.
> This project functions in a political level, with the idea of give
> visibility to the invisible work made by women across the history, and
> bringing together the work of the textile and cinema labourers.
>
> As a celebration of our 10th anniversary, we will have two combined
> programs under the name “Viejos y nuevos amigos” / “Old and New Friends”,  that
> will bring works of filmmakers invited in past editions of the festival,
> along with new like-minded filmmaker “friends”. The line-up of these
> programs will include works by the filmmakers *Saul  Levine, Valentina
> Alvarado, Janie Geiser, Robert Todd, Bruno Delgado Ramo, Naomi Uman,
> Jeannette Muñoz, Stephen Broomer, Jodie Mack, Malena Szlam, Dan Browne,
> Jacques Perconte and Stefano Canapa*.
>
> The festival will also feature a tribute to Jonas Mekas, paying attention
> to his role as film activist and supporter. This program will comprise
> works by *Ron Rice, Robert Breer, Hollis Frampton, Lawrence Jordan, Marie
> Menken, Joyce Wieland and Jack Smith*.
>
> We will also feature a special screening of the film Reunión, by Ilan
> Serruya, a project that was part last year of our tutoring program,
> Input, and that had its premiere in Doc Lisboa.
>
> Last but not least, every year we devote a space in the program for
> Galician filmmakers. This year we will have a monographic program on the
> work of the filmmaker, photographer and artist CARLA ANDRADE, one of the
> most relevant young figures on Galician experimental film, with a work
> revolving around landscape and travel. The program SINAIS EN CURTO, on
> the other hand, will show a selection of the most exciting works made last
> year by Galician filmmakers working with analog cinema and experimental
> aesthetics and techniques. We will also have the premiere of the film 7
> limbos*, by Alexandre Cancelo e Berio Molina*, a feature film on the
> sonic experiments of several Galician artists.
>
> See you all in A Coruña!
