30 years ago, GIV staff initiated a screening project that became one of the longest running events celebrating independent media artworks created by women artists.* The explosion of outdoor screenings is now a staple of Montreal summers. Vidéos de femmes dans le parc (VFP) was one of the forerunners. VFP is a celebration of the communal aspect of gathering to watch media artworks. Initially a project to bring video art to spectators in a non-traditional venue, VFP has evolved into a much-anticipated summer highlight. We wish to thank the artists, distributors and spectators for joining us on this adventure.  *Women is utilized here in its most inclusive definition.

will be screened on August 24th at 7pm at Cinemateca Portuguesa as part of the Director’s Cut program at IndieLisboa International Film Festival. First and probably only time that I’ll be in the same group as Orson Welles If you’re in the neighbourhood, check it out!

Labocine’s August 2021 Issue Spirit of the Forest is out!

„The concept of the forests as a source of life cannot be isolated from the integrity of nature that corresponds to the integrity of the physical body and cultural personality of local and indigenous peoples. As a source of life, the forests need to be understood in accordance with the natural elements that support life, such as the earth, water, trees and wildlife, air, sun, sounds or language. Since ancient times, undisturbed patches of vegetation have been dedicated to folk spirits In this issue, we pay tribute to these very same spirits of the forests that have protected our bioreserves and have awoken at times abruptly to the the impending cries and human-induced pertubances.“ (Curated by Alexis Gambis)

I just found out that the amazing „Film Unframed. A History of Austrian Avant-Garde Cinema (edited by Peter Tscherkassky) is still available via sixpackfilm /Index (it’s sold out pretty much everywhere). It’s such a great read about individual artists (and I’m not only saying this because Steve Bates wrote this great piece on my work) and the entire development of experimental film in Austria. If you ever wondered why such a tiny country has produced so many leading figures in avant-garde cinema, you might find some answers here. Highly recommended!
