Focusing our gaze on the frame, the minimal filmic unit, is like discovering the magic trick that generates the moving image. It allows us to realise that the soul of the kinetic image is a static image. A still shot, which, when combined with the time factor and the cadence of repetition, disappears to become an illusion of movement.
In this session we will reflect on this fact through the different audiovisual proposals that we will project: on the one hand, a series of short pieces on filmic experimentation with photographic, digital and above all analogue cameras, investigating the creative possibilities of Lomokino cameras. And in counterpoint, a video dance and an experimental piece with family archive material. We will then open a space for dialogue with the authors to reflect on the possibilities of making visible this constant nucleus within the flow of images and its consideration as a tool for creation.
