Re: [Frameworks] Experimental Film and Expanded Cinema in Argentina?
Dear Frameworkers, Thank you for your responses to my question about experimental film/expanded cinema in Argentina. As always, Frameworks has come through. I'll be responding to the respondents individually over the next couple of days, but wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to you collectively. Thanks again - best wishes, Jonathan On Sat, Sep 7, 2013 at 10:57 AM, Jonathan Walley wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some good resources (web or > otherwise, and preferably in English) on experimental filmmaking in > Argentina, including expanded cinema.

If the correction helps, Juan José Mugni is also Argentine (but works and lives in Montevideo, Uruguay, since the Seventies when he exiled because of the military coup d'état). best, pablo.

Hello Frameworkers, Pablo gets his information about my forthcoming article from a reliable source - me. The article will cover recent developments in Argentine experimental cinema. I'll post it on Frameworks when it is published. The filmmakers already named in earlier messages are a good starting point. There are quite a few others making films as well, but their work has not begun to travel outside the country. There are points of overlap between different communities of filmmakers and video artists, but the scene in Buenos Aires, for instance, cannot be characterized as a cohesively organized one, and it does have its share of factionalism. In addition, there is no one centralized and comprehensive source of information about the contemporary experimental film and video that is being made and shown in Argentina. There has definitely been a spike in activity in the past few years. During my most recent stay in Buenos Aires, in July and August of this year, it was possible to see at least one screening and/or film performance of new work a week. Also, a number of artists and filmmakers were conducting workshops and seminars outside of the universities and conservatories that were very well attended. Their classes are mostly technical and practice-oriented, and they have covered topics such as "precarious projections" without film, Super 8 performances, Super 8 and 35mm film developing, and found footage filmmaking. I also responded to Jonathan off-list, but for those with an interest in this topic, I will plug programmer Federico Lanchares' festival Semana III del Film Experimental, which is scheduled for November 7-9, 2013 in La Plata, Argentina (a one-hour bus ride from downtown Buenos Aires). His email address is federic...@hotmail.com The 2011 edition of the Semana del Film Experimental included work by Magdalena Jitrik, Narcisa Hirsch, Horacio Vallereggio, Jorge Honik, Silvestre Byrón, Magdalena Arau, Paulo Pécora, Hernán Khourián, Horacio Vallereggio, Ernesto Baca and Rob Conlazo & Summum, María Rosa Andreotti, Azucena Losana y Eduardo Meléndez and Pablo Mazzolo. The 2012 edition included films by Julio César Otero Mancini and Emiliano Cativa, as well as two non-Argentines, Juan José Mugni and Chris Kennedy.

Re: [Frameworks] Experimental Film and Expanded Cinema in Argentina?
Dear Jonathan, My name is Pablo Marín, filmmaker and writer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and since the past decade I have been working, writing and curating within the field of experimental film here in Argentina. Most of the stuff I wrote is in Spanish, although i'm glad to say a great deal of it -the most important texts- have been translated into English. Recently I curated and toured with Argentine films from the past & present. And I'm glad to say this tour will take me to Chicago next October, and Toronto (and possibly Colorado) next January. Anyway, here I copy some links and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Chicago show's (upcoming): http://www.saic.edu/cate/ currentschedule/ghost- anthology.html http://chicago8fest.org/ Spain show (last June): http://www.s8cinema.com/ portal/en/edicion-2013/ vanguardias/antolog%C3%ADa- fantasma-cine-experimental- argentino/ Narcisa Hirsch's Catalog (one of the local pioneers, including a text of mine about her Come Out and Taller as the birth of local structural film): http://www.asaeca.org/pubext. php?id=31 some dvds & blu-rays edited in New York in which I worked as curator/writer (includes essays in English): http://antennaecollection.com/ Dialectica.html http://antennaecollection.com/ Experimental.html http://antennaecollection.com/ honik.html my blog: http://laregioncentral. blogspot.com.ar/ In addition to all this, I heard that San Francisco based Federico Windhausen (born in Argentina) is writing a piece on Experimental film/Expanded cinema in Buenos Aires for MIRAJ. With best wishes, Pablo Marín.
