VERTIGO NEW ISSUE LAUNCH -OETHIS MUST BE THE PLACES¹
Saturday 28 February 2004 at 6.00pm
'Britain's most consistently challenging and stimulating film magazine'
Sukhdev Sandhu, The Daily Telegraph
Vertigo explores and promotes innovation, imagination and experimentation in
all areas of cinema, from documentary to artists' film, independent features
to cutting-edge animation. It's renowned for its cultural commitment,
polemical edge and award-winning design. The latest issue is no exception.
Focusing on place, it's got features on cinema from across the world and
exclusive interviews with JULIO MEDEM, DAVID GORDON GREEN, VICTOR ERICE, GUY
MADDIN, and GUNVOR NELSON.
A programme of short art films linked with the same notion of OEplace¹ has
been put together to celebrate this new issue. Vertigo will be on sale at
the box office.
By presenting OEunstaged¹ worlds and actors, by shifting the usual way of
framing reality, by reversing the place of the film it-self on the screen or
even the usual presence of images, these unconventional works reconsider,
each in their very individual way, the notion of OEplace¹ in cinema.
Ken Jacobs, LITTLE STABS AT HAPPINESS (US, 1959-63, 15 mins)
"I was interested in immediacy, a sense of ease, and an art where suffering
was acknowledged but not trivialised with dramatics. Whimsy was our
achievement, as well as breaking out of step."-K.J.
Karl Kels, PRINCE HOTEL (Germany, 1987-2003, 8 mins)
OEAgainst the background of a run-down Prince Hotel we see men who pass time
together, deliberately portrayed by Kels' clear eye for framing and detail,
and yet whose acts and movements cannot be controlled.¹ MvL
Nicolas Rey, TERMINUS FOR YOU (France, 1996, 10 mins)
From the escalator to cinema: images of a tube¹s escalator in Paris are
radically abstracted right up until the end.
Paul Sharits, RAY GUN VIRUS (US, 1966, 14 mins)
Through affirming the materiality of the film it-self (emulsion, frame,
screen), Paul Sharits shifts what we consider it to be and makes the
spectators aware of where they stand, while immersing them in fascinating
colours and strobes.
Mr.Clay, PRACTICAL THEORY OF MR CLAY (Austria, 2001, 5 mins)
An unexpected and hilarious sound work that gives the mind's eye a welcome
stretch.
