Hello,
Just a quick note to let you know that tickets are now on sale for our upcoming screening TRANCE FILMS at the IFI.
Centred on a very rare 35mm screening of Daïchi Saïto's EarthEarthEarth this screening continues recent explorations into psychedelia as a mode of practice for experimental filmmakers. Moving from the explicitly digital worlds of Billy Roisz's Happy Doom to the otherworldly landscapes of the Atacama desert captured on 16mm film in EarthEarthEarth this programme is a journey from the abstract to the earthly. As Alejandro Bachmann notes in relation to one of the films ‘the boundaries between inside and outside, me and the world, the virtual and the material, all become permeable, ambiguous, irrelevant’. This then is a programme designed to be experienced as much as understood. As Christian Höller describes in his notes on Jung an Tagen’s A Flock of Rotations (also screening here) ‘there is no boundary here, no outside, no escape’. More info below.
Hope you can join us!

IFI / Tuesday June 30th / 6.30pm
Film info:
A Flock of Rotations – Jung an Tagen
Continuously falling pitches – descending into infinity.
Fuddy Duddy – Siegfried A. Fruhauf
In Siegfried A. Fruhauf´s Fuddy Duddy, something resembling a big bang is seen, with an energy resulting from the struggle between order and chaos. Everything we see takes place within a linear force field – whatever happens in the black and white images that arise from invisible sources of artistic creativity, whatever reveals its presence the instant it disappears. The lines themselves begin to flicker. It is as if they emerge from lidless eyes – were it only possible – yet they do not give way. The crucial grid underlying classical aesthetics of harmony and measurement begins to glow, but it does not go up in flames- Bert Rebhandl
Happy Doom – Billy Roisz
HAPPY DOOM is an audiovisual poem, an ode to color intoxication and vertigo. The screen a vibrating membrane that simultaneously spits and swallows colors and noisy beats – a hypnotic deformed circumpolar psychedelic short trip.
Ville Maria – Alexandre Larose
This film is inspired from a dream during which I fall from the top of a high-rise building facing the sky- Alexandre Larose
EARTHEARTHEARTH – Daïchi Saïto
Dawn breaks where land is flesh
And bones’ echoes;
You’ve lived through extinctions –
Stars, skies, sand and seas;
Future is catching us up at last,
And all the dead are ahead of us.
A major film from a singular artist, earthearthearth is a pulsing, painterly tour de force. – Michael Sicinski
