ENOLAEMEVAEL / LEAVEMENALONE
Kathryn Ramey 7' 03'' / 2016 / US / 16mm An unfaithful remake of Man Ray’s 1926 "Emak Bakia" made without the use of a motion picture camera, ELONA EM EVAEL/LEAVE ME ALONE is a nonsensical response to brutality alongside a celebration of silver process. |
Kathryn Ramey is a filmmaker and anthropologist whose work engages both experimental film processes and ethnographic research. Her award winning and strongly personal films are characterized by manipulation of the
celluloid. Her scholarly interest is focused on the social history of the avant-garde/experimental film community, the anthropology of visual communication and the intersection between art and anthropology. |

Two dreams later
pilar monsell 18' / 2017 / Spain / super8, 16mm A few dreams, dozens of hotel rooms, an escape. A pine forest. The backs of some women, looking at the sea. A counter-shot of the happiness. The emptiness that remains after a complex, two-way movement: that desire to escape and the inability to leave behind that which stops us from doing so. |

¡PíFIES!
Ignacio Tamarit 4' / 2016 / Argentina / animation . Found footage ¡PíFIES! (from the Spanish slang “mistake”) is the kind of film I would like to see when I screen home movies, but that I never end up finding. From clippings of my own collection of home-movies, I built a rhythmic collage where at first the focus was placed on the films’ technical problems: violent pans, out of focus, insane zooms, abrupt cuts or what would have been discarded by the cineaste instead of being kept in the final cut. However, ¡PíFIES! ends up being an eulogy to the home movie filmmaking, to the construction of these amateur handmade films, to the filmmakers who shoot their families, their exotic trips and their daily lives so that they can be remembered. |
IgnacioTamarit is a filmmaker, teacher and musician. He studied at the Centro de Investigación Cinematográfica and at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires. He has given film workshops at the Big Sur Contemporary Art Gallery, C3 Centro Cultural de la Ciencia y Lumiton Museo del Cine Usina Audiovisual, where he also works as an archivist, programmer and film curator.
