The Spanish artist/filmmaker Luis Macías kicks off a North American tour in Los Angeles, with three live projection performances involving 16mm, 35mm and slide projectors. Macias is a co-founder of Crater Lab http://crater-lab.org/ , an independent film development laboratory in Barcelona. He is an image recycler who specializes in experimental cinema. His artistic concerns focus on the physical work on film, film recycling and re-invention of new relationships between moving images.

In his latest expanded cinema pieces, [Macías] develops the idea of spectral cinema, where the different processes of film spectrum feature in each creative space. Photochemical manipulation in the laboratory of created and/or suitable images, editing on moviola, transformation and rephotography by means of an optical copier, and the projection as an event are parts of filmic form which visually composes and interprets, and which organizes in closed structures while consciously leaving intervening gaps allowing it and obligating it to explore cinematic improvisation and the building of the piece during the actual screening.
