시놉시스
A film motivated by nothing (but daily life and (my) vision). It represents nothing, it signifies nothing. There’s no hidden meaning, no defined subject, no predetermined objective. Inside and outside. Just angles, textures and flashes of color. A whole different empire of vision, impossible to be put into words. “Nothing” as anything outside common visual knowledge, anything that defies the logic of naming the world; a possibility for a new way of thinking; of dealing with our visual world.
Flash Passion is one of the very first films that the two artists made in Athens when they took up the super-8 camera and extended their theatre practice towards cinema. Here, Maria Klonaris looks at/films Katerina Thomadaki.
SMOKING is a brief portrait of Maria Klonaris composed of seven shots. Katerina Thomadaki completed it in 2016, two years after Maria Klonaris' passing, from rushes shot in 1975 at the time of the filming of DOUBLE LABYRINTHE. The Greek word that appears at the beginning of the film, μετείκασμα, signifies "meta-image" and refers to retinal persistence.
With this film-manifesto, the two artists invent what they called the Cinéma corporel (Cinema of the Body), they present themselves as a "double auteur femme" and they lay the foundations of the radical critical and esthetical positions of their work to come. Double Labyrinthe has a mirror structure based on their "mutual gaze": in the first part Katerina performs while filmed by Maria and in the second part Maria performs filmed by Katerina.
After five years of intense work on identity, an alchemical quest for the depths, after nine films and films / actions where the actresses' gestures resounded against a black background which eliminated the environment to reveal the inside, taken outside: encounter of the inside with the outside.
Journey back into memory. Crossing the Greek landscape in August. The seas. The ruins, remains of abandoned houses, homes with holes, pierced by the wind, inside crossed by the outside. Unheimlich: the disturbing strangeness. Activation of a memory of origins. Unheimlich: what should remain secret, hidden and which manifests itself. MHTRIS = mother's country.
A meditative journey through an ancient and desolate land enveloped in an ever darkening mist.
A young father struggles with his art and an infatuation, while his young daughter may be the key to saving the future, if the weird aliens and talking animals who observe the family in their little alley may be believed.
Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen gets his own story. Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy meets boy!
Bodies and movements recomposed from thousands of pornographics images.
Topographical video born from the meeting of a tunnel located at Hamburg (Germany) and Mictlan, the Aztec underworld. Circular and underground journey towards the dematerialization.
Sunny. Semantic sequences guide the gaze, a gaze that is sometimes raised, propelled downwards, then too high or motionless in front of an unrecognizable and yet so familiar vision. The images, linked by echoes of chromatic palettes and linear layers, scroll to the rhythm of a voice, reminiscent of an incantation. Sacred.
사진 스튜디오를 경영하는 프로 사진작가 토마스는 조금은 거칠다 싶을 정도로 편집증적인 성격을 갖고있다. 늘 새로운 사진을 위하여 동분서주하던 토마스는 크리이언트인 론이 의뢰한 책의 화보의 앤딩 부분의 구상을 준비하러 공원으로 나가서 무작위로 이것 저것 사진을 찍다 연인처럼 보이는 한쌍의 연인을 발견하고 숨어서 그들의 포옹 장면 등 많은 포즈들을 찍는다. 그러다 이를 발견한 여자가 쫓아와서 필름을 내놓으라고 강요한다. 그는 자신이 사진작가임을 내세워 나중에 사진을 보내주겠다고 제의하는데, 그때까지만 해도 집요하게 필름을 요구하던 여자가 갑자기 도망치듯 사라져 버린다. 토마스는 론을 만나서 확보의 컷들을 합의하고 집으로 돌아오는데 공원에서 만난 그 여자가 집앞에 와 있었다. 집을 가르쳐준 적도 없는데 찾아온 여자를 수상하게 여긴 토마스는 엉뚱한 필름을 넘겨주고 곧 현상작업에 들어가는데...

Experimental film by Manuel Huerga.
A train speeds through the country on its way to Berlin, then gradually slows down as it pulls into the station. It is very early in the morning, about 5:00 AM, and the great city is mostly quiet. But before long there are some signs of activity, and a few early risers are to be seen on the streets. Soon the new day is well underway. It's just a typical day in Berlin, but a day full of life and energy.
Short experimental animation.
A synthesized video environment.
"Single Frame sequences of TV or film images, with periodic distortions of the image. The images are airplanes, women men interspersed with pictures of texts like: 'silence, genius at work' and 'ich liebe dich.' The end credit is 'Television décollage, Cologne, 1963."
In an endless loop, unexposed film runs through the projector. The resulting projected image shows a surface illuminated by a bright light, occasionally altered by the appearance of scratches and dust particles in the surface of the damaged film material. This a film which depicts only its own material qualities; An "anti-film", meant to encourage viewers to focus on the lack of concrete images.
