*Movie Circuits* Conversation with Marie Sophie Beckmann & Gabriel Menotti Wednesday, 30 October 2019, 7.30 pm, diffrakt | centre for theoretical periphery Why are movies so messy to deal with from a curatorial perspective? And how are they produced and take shape in and through (sub)cultural practices of exhibition and distribution? Gabriel Menotti addresses these and other questions in his most recent book 'Movie Circuits: Curatorial Approaches to Cinema Technology' (Amsterdam University Press, 2019), where he attempts to grasp media in the making. Starting from the book and many examples, Gabriel will, in conversation with Marie Sophie Beckmann, delve into the underbelly of cinema in order to explore how images circulate and apparatuses crystallize across different material formations. The indisciplinary experience of curators and projectionists provides a means to suspend traditional film studies and engage with the medium as it happens, as a continuing, self-differing mess. From contemporary art exhibitions to pirate screenings, research and practice come together in a call to reinvent the medium from within. diffrakt : zentrum für theoretische peripherie Crellestr. 22, 10827 Berlin, Germany diffrakt.space
