NEW CANADIAN CINEMA – PART II
A series of Canadian experimental films exploring family romance, the representation of childhood, blocked visions and the duplication of images in life and death
Mike Hoolboom: Imitation of Life
Canada, 2003, Beta SP, 75 min., OV English, US premiere
From one of Canada’s best known experimental film/video-maker, “this ten-part video strains childhood through a history of reproduction, culling pictures from the Lumi&eagrave;re Brothers to the present day in order to find the future in our past. Here are children of pictures, as pictures themselves, the ones who will walk on our graves, granted a legacy of framing and image-making that has helped shape their lives and their ability to grieve those no longer around to share them.” (Mike Hoolboom).
Preceded by
Nicolas Roy: LÉo
Canada, 2003, Beta SP, 11 min., no dialogue, US premiere
Ever since his mother's death, twelve-year-old Leo has lived alone with his father and his dog in a tumbledown little house in the middle of nowhere... a sad, isolated spot. Starting today, Leo will never be the same. (FCMM)
And by
Donigan Cumming: Locke’s Way
Canada, 2003, Beta SP, 21 min., OV English, Los Angeles premiere
Locke’s Way is the photographic path to knowledge, full of twist and turns, treacherously steep. A family’s photo album tells us everything and nothing about the impenetrable past. (FCMM)
