Baltimore, MD: Sight Unseen

7pm, 1515 Guilford Avenue
SPACE MATERIAL, IMMATERIAL PLACE: FILMS BY JEREMY MOSS
Filmmaker Jeremy Moss, whose work has screened around the globe from the
Crossroads Film Festival in San Francisco to the Arkipel International
Documentary and Experimental Film Festival in Indonesia, brings a
60-minute program of recent moving image work. In the summer of 2011,
Moss began expanding beyond his narrative training to fully explore
lyrical and structural tendencies, creating the Super8 surrealist
documentary THOSE INESCAPABLE SLIVERS OF CELLULOID, the abstract
hand-made 16mm films produced at the Independent Imaging Retreat, THE
SIGHT and CICATRIX, the dance for camera pieces in collaboration with
choreographer Pamela Vail, (UN)TETHERED, CHROMA, and THAT DIZZYING
CREST, and the essay film in collaboration with writer Erik Anderson,
THE BLUE RECORD. As a program, these works cohesively embody an
immersive optical and sonic experience revealing cinema's capacity for
both meditative expression and the rigors of collaboration. PROGRAM: THE
BLUE RECORD (2013, 16mm to digital video, 17 min) CICATRIX (2014, 16mm
to digital video, 7 min) (UN)TETHERED (2014, digital video, 10 min)
THOSE INESCAPABLE SLIVERS OF CELLULOID (2011, Super8 to digital video, 7
min) CHROMA (2012, digital video, 4 min) THAT DIZZYING CREST (2013, 16mm
to digital video, 11 min) THE SIGHT (2012, 16mm to digital video, 4
min). http://www.jeremymoss.org/.

8pm, 22 Boerum Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201
PAUL CLIPSON AND LIZ HARRIS: HYPNOSIS DISPLAY
Liz Harris (Grouper) and Paul Clipson present the NY premiere of
HYPNOSIS DISPLAY, an evening-length original live sound and 16mm film
collaboration exploring impressionistic, emotional and sensory
environments found within the vast natural and urban landscapes of
America. HYPNOSIS DISPLAY envelops the viewer within an expansive,
unique sound and image experience. Both artists use formats that emote
sonically and visually unique momentscassette tape and 16mm filmwhich
combine to create an especially resonant live environment. The dialogue
between these sensitive and nostalgic materials evokes a dynamic tension
between beauty and dissonance. Grouper layers performed and field
recorded music to create hypnotic soundscapes cloaked within her vocals
and tape loops. Clipson's collaged, super-impositioned 16mm films,
projected from a film projector within the theatre space, seek to invite
the audience to participate in a collective mind's-eye trip, traversing
Grouper's musical language to create startling, revelatory associations,
as if each viewer is experiencing a hallucinatory waking dream. Neither
image nor sound takes precedence: the two interact and combine
preserving a raw sense of the discovery that field recordings and film
rushes often yield.
