Filmforum welcomes filmmaker Daïchi Saïto from Montreal in the first of two programs.  Saïto is part of Double Negative, a Montreal-based film collective dedicated to the creation and dissemination of experimental cinema. This first program with Saïto showcases a selection of films made by present and past members of the collective.  Founded in 2004 and run without external funding, Double Negative maintains a shared studio space for analog filmmaking in the Mile End neighborhood of Montreal. Its activities over the years have contributed to the renewed interest in celluloid in the local artistic community.  Its a remarkable array of hand-crafted celluloid-based films.
Daïchi Saïtos visit made possible by a generous grant from the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts.
There will be a separate screening featuring Daïchi Saïtos own films at REDCAT on Monday February 12, at 8:30 pm.  See www.redcat.org for more details.
Screening:
Where We Stand
Lindsay McIntyre, 2014, 16mm, b&w, sound, 5 min.
Where We Stand is a haunting portrait of theaters shot on handmade 16mm iodo-bromide emulsion. With a strong commitment to retaining the language of film, Where We Stand takes a good hard look at the fragile future of films made on film in this digital age.

Patience
Mike Rollo, 2006, Super 8, b&w, silent, 2:30 min.
Patiently, a soft breeze enters.

Roundtrip
Philippe Leonard, 2014, 16mm, color, silent, 3 min.
A diptych filmed on a journey between Montreal and New York City. My last roll of Ektachrome to commemorate an important day when two became unified in the act of giving.

Parallax
Christopher Becks, 2008, 16mm, color, silent, 6 min.
From parallaxis
From para + allassein to change
From allos other
1. the apparent displacement of an observed object due to a change in the position of the observer.
2. the apparent angular displacement of a celestial body due to its being observed from the surface instead of from the center of the earth or due to its being observed from the earth instead of from the sun.
3. the difference between the view of an object as seen through the picture-taking lens of a camera and the view as seen through a separate viewfinder.

Quiet Zone
Karl Lemieux and David Bryant, 2015, 35mm, color, sound, 14 min.
Through the use of complex imagery and sound, filmmakers Karl Lemieux and David Bryant take us deep into the world of those who suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Combining elements of documentary, film essay and experimental film, Quiet Zone defies genres, weaving together an unusual story in which sound and image distort reality to make the distress of these wave refugees palpable.

Lunar Almanac
Malena Szlam, 2013, 16mm, color, silent, 4 min.
Lunar Almanac initiates a journey through magnetic spheres with its staccato layering of single-frame, long exposures of a multiplied moon. Shot in 16mm Ektachrome and hand processed, the films artisanal touches are imbued with nocturnal mystery. Andréa Picard, TIFF Wavelengths, 2014

Lunar Almanac traces a series of notations that record the observational points of the lunar cycle. Using single-frame and long-exposure photography, the unaltered, in-camera editing accumulates over 4000 layered field views of half-moons, new moons, and full moons, that flit across the screen with a frenetic energy, illuminating nocturnal reveries that pull at the tides as much as our dreams.

Traces  
Erin Weisgerber, 2014, 16mm, b&w, sound, 5 min.
Trace
n.
1.
a.A visible mark, such as a footprint, made or left by the passage of a person, animal, or thing.
b.  Evidence or an indication of the former presence or existence of something; a vestige.
2.
A barely perceivable indication.

Relucesco
Shannon Lynn Harris, 2015, Super 8, color, silent, 3 min.  
Light painted on the body; light reflected on emulsion.

P.O.P.
Eduardo Menz, 2013, Super 8, b&w, silent, 3 min.
Film portraits that capture a different state of mind.

Fracas
Eduardo Menz, 2007, Digital8, color, sound, 4 min.
The juxtaposition of childrens school portraits with the anxious voices of an elementary spelling bee reveals a haunting reality of innocence that has vanished. In this experimental documentary, found images are repurposed to create an emotionally compelling montage that lingers long after the film ends.

Granular Film - Beirut  
Charles-André Coderre, 2016, 35mm, color, sound, 6 min.
Reminiscence of a trip in Beirut. The sea, the palm trees, the buildings melt when my eyelids begin to close. My memories now have a separate life of their own.

The Broken Altar
Mike Rollo, 2013, 35mm, color, sound, 19:30 min.
The Broken Altar is a portrait of open-air theaters documented under the strange light of day, emptied of the once present hum of human voices, radioed-in soundtracks and tires on gravel. Scripting the landscape and exploring the residue of a cinematic history, The Broken Altar forms a sculptural treatment of the architectural artifacts of these abandoned and barren spaces: speaker boxes rise from tall grass like grave markers and the screens themselves are monumental, sepulchral in their peeling whiteness.


Total Running Time: 75 minutes
