Look Closely at The Mountains

Filmene som vises denne kvelden er:

Fog Line, regi: Larry Gottheim, USA 1970, 16mm, 11min

The fog lifts on a scene. For an attentive viewer the mental fog could also lift. It doesn’t go from white to full clarity. It just shows a piece of time, a section of a process in the landscape and in the mind of the viewer.

Studies Of Clouds Over The Pacfic Ocean, regi: Makie Satake, Japan 2018, digital, 10min

Images of clouds taken by meteorologist researchers in 1965. Looking down? Or looking up? The existence of the universal clouds that go back and forth between the past and the present.

China Not China, regi: Richard Tuohy, Australia 2018, 16mm, 14min

Multiple exposures of street scenes distort space and place creating a fluid sense of impermanence and transition, of two states somewhere between China and not China.

Tåke, regi: Inger Lise Hansen, Norge 2018, DCP, 15min

Tåke observes the spectacle of fog through several different film- and video formats. The film explores the behaviour of Super-8 and 16mm film alongside digital video against a visual obstacle. The imagery is recorded on location in Oslo, Azores, Beijing and Newfoundland.

Olhe Bem As Montanhas (Look Closely At The Mountains), regi: Ana Vaz, Brasil/Frankrike 2018, digital, 31min

Ana Vaz draws parallels between the Minas Gerais region in Brazil and the very distant Nord-Pas-de-Calais in northern France, both marked by over three centuries of mining. Poetry takes precedence over any activist or environmental discourse, yet we are never disconnected from the political; in Brazil, eroded mountains plague its inhabitants with deadly landslides, the mountains become the receptacles of a ghostly memory. In France, mining waste stacks become mountains and reservoirs of biodiversity, where the threshold between nature and technology becomes indiscernible.
