Bent Light Collective

Wednesday, September 18, 2014 @ 8:00 PM
EMMEDIA Gallery & Production Society - 351 - 11 Ave SW, Suite #203, Calgary

CSIF is excited to present the Calgarian stop on Bent Light Collective’s Western Canadian tour. Bent Light is a collective of five innovative artists based out of Winnipeg who re-imagine cinema using 16mm film, hand processing, photocopier cinematography, DIY projectors and performances.

New works by the collective will be screened including:

UNDERWATER BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR FISH | DIR. MIKE MARYNIUK | 16MM
All is right underwater until an unexpected party crasher arrives. Using found footage, 16mm, animation and underwater camera footage.



ALL SPARKS | DIR. HEIDI PHILIPS | 16MM MULTI CHANNEL INSTALLATION

Light explodes out of the darkness in All Sparks, a frantic array of film loops created by Heidi Phillips.



FIRST LIGHT | DIR. LESLIE SUPNET | 16MM

The imagined rise and fall of many suns. Using animated drawings and shot on 16mm



MOONFLOWER AND OTHER WITCHWEEDS | DIR. DOREEN GIRARD | CUSTOM PROJECTOR, EXPANDED CINEMA PERFORMANCE

Compiled materials and images of flora from nature walks, botanical illustrations and time-lapse video are manipulated and added to within a live setting and knit together with multi-directional light sources. Reels of screen printed acetate are advanced by hand through a home-made projector.

XEROGRAPHIC | DIR. ANDREW JOHN MILNE | HAND-CRANKED PROJECTOR, EXPANDED CINEMA PERFORMANCE
A Xerox copier has been modified to function as an instant print camera. Strapped into the passenger seat of a travelling museum, this copier will document the 36 hour drive at 30 second intervals from Winnipeg to Vancouver resulting in 2000 Xerox copies.

Filmmaker Andrew John Milne will be leading a Q & A after the screening
