Photofinish Figures

Paolo Gioli

With exhilirating rhythms and flashing sideways motion, the latest by celebrated Italian aritst Paolo Gioli is a 16mm, black and white ode to faces and the city. Il Finish delle Figure reminds one of Muybridge but relays a sense of the conteporary, sensory overload of living in a metropolis.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Peter Tscherkassky

Austrian master Peter Tscherkassky's latest epic is a sly comedy that mines the relationship between early cinema and the avant-garde by way of advertising. With references to Méliès, les Lumières, Cocteau and Fernand Léger, COMING ATTRACTIONS playfully explores cinema's subliminal possibilities.
