CROSSROADS 2019, PROGRAM 1: UNSEEABLE LIGHT/A CHORUS OF VOIDS

By Wilder Zumarán

Program 1 of Crossroads 2019, Unseeable Light / A Chorus of Voids, is made up of three proposals of spatial (in the broadest sense of the term), intuitive and miscegenation vocation. From its viewing, one gets a tactile experience of the audiovisual, a free, alive and intuitive experience, as an improvisation in which a perceptive experience becomes aware of the media used, a dialogue between sound and image. The three projects take frames of reference and register in contexts that exceed the strictly cinematographic : Sick Sense 2, from a research on the perception of some frequencies on human sensibility, A Chorus of Black Voids Sings In Rays of Unseeable Light, from multiprojection-performance and Diamond Body, from the mix, juxtaposition and sound improvisation on the filtered image.

CROSSROADS 2019, PROGRAM 8, A FRIEND BECOMES LIKE A GHOST

By Ivonne Sheen

A friend become like a ghost was the 8th program of the past Crossroads 2019 edition, which took place in San Francisco, California. The amazingness of this event is found in the subtlety of the curatorial work in it, paints and invokes the powerful expansive states of experimental filmmaking under mystical and poetical premises. A friend become like a ghost is an encounter with light, with film, with ourselves as light and shadow, as life and death.

OLHAR DE CINEMA 2019: FORMAS DEL EXILIO LATINOAMERICANO

Por Victor Guimarães

La muestra Raúl Ruiz y diálogos en el exilio, organizada en la última edición del festival Olhar de Cinema en Curitiba, Brasil, ha sido una oportunidad única para ver, cartografiar, comparar y pensar a fondo los gestos y las formas que animan la obra hecha por algunos cineastas latinoamericanos en el exilio. En las décadas de setenta y ochenta, años de violentas dictaduras civil-militares en el cono sur, muchos realizadores y realizadoras que actuaban en esa región se vieron, de variadas maneras, obligados a exiliarse para escapar a la persecución política o la represión de la actividad artística.

CROSSROADS 2019, PROGRAM 3: OTHER VOICES, OTHER ROOMS

By Wilmer Zumarán

The films of the Program 3, Other voices other rooms, of the Crossroads Film Festival 2019 are very heterogeneous among them. However, they have as a common denominator a particular position on the look, the image, the representation. These are films that impose a way of seeing cinema that works in turn as a political stance against the hegemonic gaze. They are films that seek to denaturalize the way we have become accustomed to feel, that question our experience.

(S8) MOSTRA DE CINEMA PERIFÉRICO 2019: PROGRAMA LEC

Por Ivonne Sheen

El cine experimental, aquel cine sobre el que Jonas Mekas hablaba en su manifiesto contra el centenario del cine, aquel cine de los pequeños actos invisibles, hecho entre amigos, por amistad, como un acto heroico ante la vorágine del éxito y la producción, se encuentra amparador por tantos festivales de cine, laboratorios, talleres, artistas, cinéfilos, que se reúnen y colaboran para que prevalezca vivo como una mariposa sobre una flor acompañada del sonido de una cámara de 8 mm.

(S8) MOSTRA DE CINEMA PERIFÉRICO 2019: PROGRAMA BILL BRAND

Por José Sarmiento Hinojosa

Bill Brand es el cineasta de las iteraciones ocultas en la realidad del ojo. En este último (S8) pudimos ser testigos de esta manifestación fílmica mediante cuatro obras emblemáticas del cineasta neoyorquino: Huevos a la mexicana (2018), Susie’s Ghost (2011), Skinside out (2002) y Coalfields (1984), que ponen en el ojo del espectador la muestra de un trabajo dedicado a recorrer los intersticios de la imagen
