Forthcoming screenings:
London Film Festival 2013
ICA, Screen 1 – Saturday 12 October, 18.50

Aligning with Antonioni’s stated intentions – to produce a work as “an idea in landscape” – Zabriskie Point (Redacted) enacts a programme of visual and social research for the earlier film at one remove from the dramatic narrative.

FIFA’s 30th anniversary program packed in impressive audience numbers, with screenings of no less than 232 films from 27 countries. From 15 to 25 March 2012, art lovers and film buffs shared the projection rooms of the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA), held in nine of Montreal’s most established cultural institutions.

The 11 day screening program was again enhanced with a series of meetings and performances, this year with pianist Marika Bournaki, film directors Alain Fleischer, Jennifer Alleyn, Anne-Marie Tougas, as well as choreographer Margie Gillis, to name just a few. The distribution of prizes awarded in the FIFA competition attested to this year’s rich mix of editing skills as much as to the program’s vivid portrayal of some of today most relevant artists.
