[january 24] RAIN in the UK 🇬🇧

Rain at the amazing Cornwall Film Festival this upcoming Friday, January 24. The program is called:

Intersection

This pop-up is a dynamic investigation into the intersection of art, ideas, and human experience, using the power of lens-based media to challenge, inspire, and engage. It seeks to create a platform for innovative collaborations, fostering dialogue between artists, thinkers, and audiences to uncover new ways of seeing and understanding the world around us. At its core, this initiative celebrates the transformative potential of lens-based media to transcend disciplines, spark curiosity, and forge meaningful connections between art, ideas, and experience.

 Το Pugnant Film Series πάει στο Κτίριο Νόμπελ στο Χαλάνδρι, για να συμμετέχει στην έκθεση "συλλογικό γουργουρητό" σε επιμέλεια της Νάντιας Αργυροπούλου

Επιμεληθήκαμε το δωμάτιο μας, ώστε να είναι σαν το σπίτι μας. Καθώς το ντύσαμε με στοιχία και παταφυσικές από τους χώρους που επισκεπτόμαστε. Σε αυτό το installation μπορείτε να δείτε flyers αρχείου, από σχεδόν όλες (70 και πλέον προβολές) του Pugnant Film Series. Δεν συμπεριλάβαμε μόνο τα flyers που δημιουργήθηκαν στις θεματικές προβολές του Cinema Suicide. Μπορείτε να δείτε μέσα σε τσίγγινη λεκάνη φωτογραφίες από τις εγκαταστάσεις μας σε εγκαταλελειμμένους -και όχι μόνο χώρους. Οι φωτογραφίες που παρουσιάζονται ανήκουν στην πνευματική ιδιοκτησία των επισκεπτών του Pugnant Film Series. 

Κι ακόμα, και κυρίως, και περισσότερο μπορείτε να δείτε τις ταινίες Our Summer Made Her Light Escape της Sasha Waters Freyer, το σπάνιο Bluebird του Παναγιώτη Παπαφράγκου, το  Mole του Sasha Svirsky, το the shade tale της Ειρήνης Ταμπασούλη, το Rain του Βασίλη Παπαϊωάννου, το Granny’s Revenge του Λάμπρου Κορδολαίμη και το Fantastic Plastic της Jeanne Stern. Πρόκειται για ταινίες που παίζουν με τα δομικά ερωτικά στοιχεία του κινηματογράφου. Φως - Σκιά, Χρώμα - Αποχρωματισμός, Αργοί ρυθμοί - Ξέφρενοι ρυθμοί, Χαρά - Λήθη είναι λίγα απ' τα δίπολα που προσφέρουν μια γκάμα συγκινήσεων απ' την ψυχεδέλεια, την γιορτινή ανησυχία μέχρη την γαλήνη ή την μελαγχολία.

Τα εγκαίνια της έκθεσης είναι στις 10/10 στις 19.30, και θα διασκέσει μέχρι τις 24 Νοεμβρίου.

Είσοδος Ελεύθερη

Pugnant Film Series is coming to the Nobel Building in Chalandri to participate in the exhibition "collective purr" curated by Nadja Argyropoulou.

We have curated our room to feel like home. We dressed it with elements and pataphysical artifacts from the places we normally visit. In this installation, you can see archive flyers from almost all (70-plus screenings) of the Pugnant Film Series. We did not include only the flyers created for the thematic screenings of Cinema Suicide. You can also see photos of our installations in abandoned - and not only - spaces presented in a tin basin. The photos exhibited belong to the intellectual property of visitors of the Pugnant Film Series screenings.

Moreover, and primarily, you can see the films Our Summer Made Her Light Escape by Sasha Waters Freyer, the rare Bluebird by Panagiotis Papafragkos, Mole by Sasha Svirsky, The Shade Tale by Eirini Tampasouli, Rain by Vasilios Papaioannou, Granny’s Revenge by Lampros Kordolaimis, and Fantastic Plastic by Jeanne Stern. These are films that play with the fundamental erotic elements of cinema. Light - Shadow, Color - Desaturation, Slow rhythms - Frenetic rhythms, Joy - Forgetfulness are just a few of the dichotomies that offer a range of emotions from psychedelia, festive anxiety to serenity or melancholy.

The opening of the exhibition is on 10/10 at 19:30 and will be open until November 24.

[july 2] Amazing article for "Parenthesis" 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Very grateful to Simone Dompeyre, artistic director of the 26th Rencontres Internationales Traverse Film Festival that takes place in Toulouse every year for her article on my film Parenthesis.

[french original text]
“Quand la parenthèse devient le texte central ; non plus une parole accessoire et distincte mais l’ensemble, le « entre », le « dans », la thèse, c’est-à-dire ce dont on parle, discute, cela donne un film de forte envolée, embarquant tout, sans distinction d’échelle, la nature, les constructions, les humains et les chats. Le Super 8 dans son grain, sa matérialité peint ce monde en traces, en traits fugitifs avec parfois, l’arrêt sur la femme souriante, sur la fenêtre donnant sur la montagne et sur ce dos de nageur/euse en seuil, préliminaire à cette excursion hors du monde policé et retrouvé avant de plonger vers les galets blancs. Cependant certains éléments s’imposent parfois inversement à leur taille : le corps de dos dont se devine la chevelure devance des cheveux volant, fouettant l’espace avant leur double en herbe dans la campagne. En effet, un relais de forme ou de potentialité attire le plan suivant : le soleil aveuglant puis la simple ampoule sous abat-jour, puis des spots sans localisation, puis la rampe lumineuse d’un tunnel automobile puis, puis. Une sauterelle sur du pain bien doré, un profil de jeune femme en intérieur, pluie sur rue dans la nuit, paysage de montagne… tout s’enchâine sans perdre haleine. Ces souvenirs sans autre tri sont portés par un bruit décisif que rien n’arrête, au volume en contrepoint avec les images de vacances, de soleil. Ainsi que la mémoire laisse courir son fil en parenthèse de la réflexion, mais en plénitude de ce que l’on a vécu et que l’on vit par Super 8 interposé.”
