Avant-garde filmmaking celebration gears up
The Stan Brakhage Symposium, already a tradition in the not-very-traditional world of avant-garde filmmaking, will again be hosted this year by the University of Colorado at Boulder.
In a weekend dedicated to the exploration of new ideas in cinema art, guest curator Ed Halter will explore the role of repetition/reuse/and the remake in contemporary artists’ works, and CU Professors Christina Battle and Jennifer Peterson will investigate the relationship of the amateur and the Avant-Garde.
Presenters will include Ed Halter, art historian David Joselit, Andy Lampert, Annette Michelson, Sylvia Schedelbauer, Phil Solomon, and Elisabeth Subrin.
In an extension of one of Brakhage’s particular interests, there will also be a program of home movies from the collection of the Academy Film Archive presented by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences archivist Lynne Kirste, as well as a number of short-works programs (films, videos, and performances).
The Stan Brakhage Symposium, a weekend of short works programs, pectures and discussions is scheduled for March 12, 13, and 14 at CU’s new Visual Arts Complex, just east of the University Memorial Center and adjacent to the Euclid AutoPark.
The programmer for March 12 and 13 is Ed Halter, a critic and curator living in New York City. His writing has appeared in Artforum, Arthur, The Believer, Cinema Scope, Kunstforum, Millennium Film Journal, Moving Image Source, Rhizome, The Village Voice and elsewhere.
From 1995 to 2005, he programmed and oversaw the New York Underground Film Festival, and has organized screenings and exhibitions for the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Cinematexas, Eyebeam, the Flaherty Film Seminar, the Museum of Modern Art, and San Francisco Cinematheque.
He teaches in the Film and Electronic Arts department at Bard College, and has lectured at Harvard, NYU, Yale and other schools as well as at Art in General, Aurora Picture Show, the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, the Images Festival, the Impakt Festival, and Pacific Film Archive.
His book “From Sun Tzu to Xbox: War and Video Games” was published in 2006. With Andrea Grover, he is editing the collection “A Microcinema Primer: A Brief History of Small Cinemas.” He is a founder and director of Light Industry, a venue for film and electronic art in Brooklyn, New York.
