Bye Bye Now by Louise Bourque
16mm / 2022 / Canada / 8’ 27’’ Waving hello to the filming cameraperson, the subjects, through this very gesture, are also, in some way, providing a future viewer with the acknowledgment of a constant good-bye to a fleeting moment. This film is an homage to the man behind the camera in these personal family archives, the artist’s father, who left her this heritage beyond mortality in the traces of past lives. Louise Bourque’s films have been screened in more than forty-five countries. Her work has been presented by major galleries and museums worldwide, including the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec in Québec city, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC. |
The Great Kind Mystery by Ella Morton
super8, 16mm / 2023 / Canada / 16’ 10’’ Inuk and Mi’kmaw artist Amy Hull tells stories about growing up in Newfoundland. Her words are illustrated by altered Super 8 and 16mm footage of Newfoundland landscapes, where the distortion of the celluloid reflects the wonder and nostalgia of her relationship with the land. Ella Morton (she/her) is a Canadian visual artist and filmmaker living in Tkarón:to/Toronto. Working primarily with lens-based media, she uses experimental analogue processes to capture the sublime and fragile qualities of remote landscapes |
Skyscraper film by Federica Foglia
16mm / 2023 / Canada, Italy / 7’ 23’’ Can I use the film strip structure as an architectural element? Is it possible to use the celluloid from the film as a cement? Can these skyscrapers be turned into something else? Can solid lines blend into sensual, natural curves? Can I melt skyscrapers? Skyscraper Film was created to try to give a visual answer to these questions, arising from the artist's relation to urban maps of various cities and their respective skylines which are populated by imposing skyscrapers and reinforced-concrete panoramas: Quebec, Kingston (Canada), Maryland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore (USA) etc. Cities are presented to us as an abstract, handmade, camera-less collage, created from scraps of orphan 16mm films from the 1980s. Originally produced to promote tourism in North America, these films are reassigned to a new context through the Emulsion Lifting/Emulsion Grafting technique that the director has been pursuing for years. In addition to tourism films and informational films, Skyscraper Film also uses rare family films and home-movies dating back to 1929 in 16mm format. Federica Foglia is a transnational visual artist working between Italy and Canada. After graduating in History of Art, Theatre and Cinema at University of Naples L'Orientale, she moved to Toronto to continue her studies and obtained a Master of Fine Arts at York University, where she is currently completing a PhD in Cinema & Media. |
