I THINK OF SILENCES WHEN I THINK OF YOU, Jonelle Twum, 2023, 9 min

I detta filmprogram som spänner över sextio år ryms fem verk som vrider ut och in på porträttkonsten som genre. Trots sina olika tekniska förutsättningar, tidslager och valda strategier finns ett gemensamt intresse från dessa filmskapare för att hitta nya vägar att göra sina kollegor och deras konst rättvisa och därigenom vittna om skapandets villkor.

Programmet inleds med Peter Weiss Tagning: Anna Casparsson (1960) i vilken den 99-åriga konstnären porträtteras i sitt hem Villa Snäckan i Saltsjöbaden. Anna Casparsson (1861–1961) introduceras genom musiken, de skapande fingrarna rör sig över nednötta pianotangenter. I Weiss sökande kameraarbete avtecknas Casparssons originella hemmamiljö bit för bit liksom de nära och andliga vännerna som omger henne i form av Ernst Josephson och Ludwig van Beethoven på väggarna. Anna Casparsson hade 1960 haft en utställning på Moderna Museet och därmed sent i livet fått ett stort erkännande som hon anspråkslöst spelar ner i den radiointervju som Weiss tonsätter filmen med jämte ljudupptagningar från Villa Snäckan. Casparson beskriver hur hon vägrat följa föreskrivna estetiska regler vilket avspeglas i Weiss egna gestaltande av konstnärskapet – i valet av grepp och avvägningar i ljud och bild. Vid sin sida hade Weiss filmskaparen Staffan Lamm vars omsorgsfulla och stilla bildstudier skapar broar mellan texturer och former i den omkringliggande naturen och Casparssons skimrande, textila sagovärldar.

Strömbrytaren tänds och ett dallrande ansikte framträder. Konstnären avbildad i Jell-O är ett kongenialt grepp i Anders Wahlgrens film A Portrait of Claes Oldenburg (1968). Materialvalet Jell-O, den amerikanska skräpkulturens signum genom sin näringsfattighet och förföriska yta blir en effektiv inledning till Oldenburgs konstnärskap som så starkt uppehåller sig vid, och förundras över den nya amerikanska konsumtionskulturens rika symbolvärld. Wahlgren blev tillfrågad av Pontus Hultén att göra en film i samband med Claes Oldenburgs vistelse i Stockholm 1966 för en utställning på Moderna Museet. Filmskaparen följer Oldenburg runt om i staden – på badkarskanten, under lunchen, i museet och genom skissarbeten till offentliga verk. I filmen försöker Wahlgren sätta sig in i Claes Oldenburgs bildvärld genom vardagsbestyren som utgör basen för konstnärens egen motivkrets. Det sensoriska i Oldenburgs konst förmedlas via Anders Wahlgrens djärva bildutsnitt i nära samspel med Staffan Olzons oväntade ljudkomposition som aldrig blir synkrona. Bilden av konstnären och hans skapelseprocess förskjuts på ett lekfullt sätt i en konstnärlig pardans mellan filmskaparen och Oldenburg själv. Långsamt kläms Jello-O-ansiktet sönder och spolas ner i vasken. Strömbrytaren släcks.

I Tova Mozards film Cowboy Russ (2003) sker ett överraskande dubbelporträtt. Vi befinner oss i en snävt avskuren filmisk ram med tre fysiska väggar tydligt avgränsade. I detta filmiska tittskåp ser vi skådespelaren Russ Kingston försjunken i sin lägenhet vid sidan av drömfabrikens dånande motorväg. Med total precision och absolut inlevelse redogör Russ för en minnesvärd scen ur westernfilmen Sju vågade livet (1960) och adresserar åskådaren genom att bryta den fjärde väggen. Samtidigt som Mozard skildrar Russ tillvaro som del av Hollywoods prekariat porträtterar Russ passionerat James Coburns rollfigur Britt och hur han värvas till sitt cowboyband. Likt många av Mozards verk finns någonting öppet, intuitivt och sökande i mötet med Russ som hon fortsatt att följa genom livet vilket 2023 resulterade i trekanalsverket I LOVE RUSS. Filmen här blir ett ömsint porträtt av en person som lever mer i sin fantasi och uppsjö av roller än i den fysiska verkligheten och vittnar samtidigt om den hårda tillvaron i filmindustrins utkant.

Behzad Khosravi Noori och Magnus Bärtås närmar sig den irakiska konstnären Layla Al-Attar med en något annorlunda metod – nekromanti. I verket On Hospitality (2024) återvänder Al-Attar från de döda för att berätta den osannolika historien om hur den svenska cement- och glasindustrin under det tidiga 1980-talet på beställning från Saddam Hussein byggde lyxhotellet Al Rasheed i Bagdads öken. Krigen kom och ritade om den ideologiska kartan och hotellets högtidlighållande av den Alliansfria rörelsen 1983 ställdes in. Till följd av Gulfkriget skapar Layla Al-Attar ett mytomspunnet porträtt i mosaik av George H W Bush som hotellets besökare tvingades kliva på för att ta sig genom byggnadens entré. Al-Attar var den första kvinnan på en statlig chefspost inom kulturministeriet och levandegörs i filmen genom den svensk-irakiska konstnären Areej Almansory som skickligt rör sig fram i spänningsfältet mellan gästfrihet och gisslanskap. Genom ett narrativt prisma, blåst i Kostas glasbruk speglar filmen gästfrihetens politik.

I Carl Johan De Geers filmer återkommer ofta en starkt självreflekterande tematik även i de porträttfilmer som berör relationen till betydelsefulla människor i konstnärens absoluta närhet. Filmerna smälts samman till spegelbilder över konstnären själv, tidens gång och den avporträtterade. Jag minns Lena Svedberg är en film om konstnärskollegan Lena Svedberg (1946–1972) som tillsammans med De Geer var drivande i tidskriften Puss (1968–1974). Med stillbilder ackompanjerade av kompositören Terry Rileys stråkar målar De Geer upp en ömsint och starkt gripande bild av sin vän och den på samma gång sprudlande kreativitet och mentala ohälsa som rymdes inom henne. Det är en film bestående av ett överflöd av bilder som samtidigt vittnar om bildens oförmåga att återskapa en annan människa. Ett sex minuter långt och rasande bildflöde avslutas med den hjärtskärande insikten; Jag minns Lena Svedberg, men jag kände henne inte.

Gunvor Nelson’s TAKE OFF will be part of the exhibition NON-STEREO TIPS, curated by Amanda Cuesta, between October 10th and November 24th during Festival Panoràmic in Barcelona, Spain.

Festival Panoràmic proposes a space of knowledge and reflection between the still image and the moving image. And it does so by deploying all the areas where the image is present to us, that is, through screenings of feature films and short films, video, video installations, video games, mappings, exhibitions, workshops, conferences, workshops, TV, installations facilities, archives, bibliography, photo books or interactive projects among others.

The 2024 edition of the Panoràmic festival focuses on works by artists who make a critical review of recent history and, at the same time, reflect on the current geopolitical, economic, and social situation, marked by polarization and its consequences. We point out the situation of the elderly, the gender issue, job insecurity, displacements, the consequences of natural disasters and economic policies, territorial limits, the power of money, the revision of history, the projection of new scenarios, or historical dislocations, to mention some.

‘Spirit Messages’ is aemi’s 2024 touring programme, an annual selection made to bring together some of the most exciting new moving image work by Irish and international artists. On Wednesday, October 9th starting 7 PM the programme will be screened at Filmform in Stockholm with the guest curator from aemi – Alice Butler as well as the artists Niall Cullen and Amanda Rice present.

CURATORIAL NOTE:

Alongside a variety of other concerns, the artists featured in this programme employ a diverse set of creative strategies to reveal an interconnected world, one in which the medium is not just the message but the means through which the paranormal can engage our attention. From folk tales to esotericism, poppers training videos, horror flicks and sci-fi, the films in ‘Spirit Messages’ draw from an eclectic array of sources to suggest that the idiosyncratic forms of communication we adopt are often choices that are as subversive as they are functional. ‘Spirit Messages’ made its world premiere at Cork International Film Festival in November 2023 and will travel to a number of venues and festivals in both Ireland and abroad, throughout 2024. Curated by aemi and featuring work by Amanda Rice, Niall Cullen and Ross McClean alongside works by artists Jamie Crewe, Luis Arnias, and Dan Guthrie.

aemi is an Irish organisation funded by The Arts Council that supports and regularly exhibits moving image works by artists and experimental filmmakers.Since its formation in 2016 aemi’s key objective has been to provide support for artists working with the moving image in order to contribute to a developing infrastructure around these practices in Ireland. aemi is dedicated to expanding audiences for this material through regular curated programmes of Irish and international work and to enrich the critical discourse that surrounds the wide range of activity in this area.
Spirit Messages is accompanied by a newly commissioned text by Leah Reynolds. Leah Reynolds is a writer and bookseller based in Bristol, UK. Read the text HERE: https://aemi.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Moth-in-Relay-by-Leah-Reynolds-2024.pdf

Welcome to a screening and discussion about Jonas Mekas’ latest film Requiem (2019) at Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus on Sunday, September 15, starting at 19.

The screening is part of Centre Pompidou’s worldwide Poetry Day initiative. Since 2020, the Pompidou has annually highlighted and celebrated the growing interest in poetry with its own day when a series of events take place simultaneously at the museum in Paris and other places in France as well as the rest of the world. Each year, the focus has been on a particularly influential and emblematic representative of poetry: John Giorno in 2020, Charles Baudelaire in 2021 and Patti Smith in 2022. This year, it is the turn of the Lithuanian-American filmmaker and poet Jonas Mekas (1922-2019). After living as a refugee during the Second World War and then emigrating to the United States, Mekas became a leading figure in American avant-garde cinema. Both as a legendary film critic and as co-founder of the Anthology Film Archives in New York in 1970. He continued to be an active, prolific artist throughout his life, completing his last film at the age of 96.

In Sweden, the screening is organized by Filmform in collaboration with Christian Rossipal and Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus. The event is organized by Centre Pompidou. On the evening of September 15, Mekas’ last film Requiem (2019) will be presented, which was shown in connection with the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale in the spring. This is the first time that this work will be shown in Sweden. Requiem had its world premiere at The Shed art center in New York, a few months after Mekas’ death in 2019, and can be seen as a cinematic tribute to Giuseppe Verdi’s Messa da Requiem (1874). Since its premiere, Requiem has been screened around the world, often accompanied by live music. Unlike the diary-like experimental films for which Mekas is best known, Requiem lacks his distinctive voice-over, which is replaced here by Verdi’s death mass. Like the music, the film moves between horror and solace, and can be seen as a contemplative depiction of the beauty and decay of nature.

Film program:

Jonas Mekas, Requiem, 2019, 84 min

The film is introduced by Christian Rossipal (curator and film researcher) and followed by a reading of excerpts from Jonas Mekas’ poetry, read by Elis Monteverde Burrau (author and poet)

Free entrance but please RSVP to info@filmform.com to secure a seat for the screening.

Välkommen till filmvisning och samtal om Jonas Mekas sista film Requiem (2019) på Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus söndagen den 15 september med start kl 19.

Visningen sker inom Centre Pompidous världsomspännande satsning Poetry Day. Sedan 2020 har Pompidou årligen synliggjort och hyllat det allt växande intresset för poesi med en egen dag då en rad arrangemang sker samtidigt på museet i Paris och andra platser i Frankrike liksom resten av världen. Varje år har en särskilt inflytelserik och emblematisk företrädare för poesin stått i fokus. 2020 var det John Giorno, 2021 Charles Baudelaire och 2022 Patti Smith. I år har turen kommit till den amerikansk-litauiske filmskaparen och tillika poeten Jonas Mekas (1922–2019). Efter att ha levt som flykting under andra världskriget och därefter emigrerat till USA blev Mekas en förgrundsgestalt inom den amerikanska avantgarde-filmen. Både som legendarisk filmkritiker och som medgrundare av Anthology Film Archives i New York 1970. Han fortsatte att vara en aktiv, produktiv konstnär genom hela sitt liv och färdigställde sin sista film som 96-åring.

I Sverige arrangeras visningen av Filmform i samarbete med Christian Rossipal och Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus. Arrangemanget sker på initiativ av Centre Pompidou. Under kvällen den 15 september presenteras Mekas sista film Requiem (2019) som under våren visades i anslutning till den 60:e upplagan av Venedigbiennalen. Det är första gången verket visas i Sverige. Requiem hade världspremiär på konstcentret The Shed i New York, några månader efter Mekas bortgång 2019 och kan ses som en filmisk hyllning till Giuseppe Verdis Messa da Requiem (1874). Sedan premiären har Requiem visats runt om i världen, ofta ackompanjerad av livemusik. Till skillnad från de dagboksliknande experimentfilmer Mekas gjort sig mest känd för så saknar Requiem hans distinkta voice-over, som här ersätts av Verdis dödsmässa. Filmen rör sig likt musiken mellan skräck och förtröstan och kan ses som en kontemplerande skildring av naturens skönhet och förfall.

This year Cinemateket’s program makes a focus on the filmography of Jan Lindqvist “- Med tiden som motiv och verktyg (With time as motive and tool)”. Several works will be shown in 6 screenings from August 21st to September 29th at Filmhuset. Between 1962 and 2014, Jan Lindqvist has depicted history, and he has done so with all the means of documentary film. In Lindqvist’s work, time is both a motif and a tool. He turns time against time, holds our gaze, gives us time to contemplate, intertwines past and present, and insists that the future is not yet written.
