Los Angeles Video Premieres

REDCAT presents an evening of rarely shown films and videos by renowned moving image artist and philosopher Manuel DeLanda. After relocating from Mexico to New York City in the 1970s, DeLanda created a body of radical films that were visceral and raw, and that also had profound theoretical underpinnings. Unique for being lauded by punk, experimental and academic communities, DeLanda’s work defied definition, taking seemingly familiar genres into outlandish and unexpected territories. DeLanda is now an internationally respected philosopher, author and teacher who has also created a stream of astonishingly original and kinetic videos. Regardless of medium, DeLanda is a great and unpredictable provocateur who brings a sense of danger and excitement to each cinematic experience.         ¡
