‘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.

Doors open at 18.30. Film starts at 19.00

Thanks to Centre Pompidou, Christian Rossipal and Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus.

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.

 
Filmprogram:

Jonas Mekas, Requiem, 2019, 84 min 

Filmen inleds av Christian Rossipal (curator och filmforskare) och följs av en reading med utdrag av Jonas Mekas poesi, uppläst av Elis Monteverde Burrau (författare och poet)

Fri entré men OSA gärna till info@filmform.com för att säkra en plats till visningen. 

Dörrarna öppnas 18.30. Filmstart 19.00

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.

Fredagen den 12 april ger Axel Petersén en introduktion till Filminstitutets stödsystem utifrån sin nya roll som konsulent för kortfilm och nya format – med många år som filmskapare i det överlappande fältet mellan bildkonst och film.

Axel Petersén har sedan millenieskiftet varit verksam som manusförfattare, konstnär och regissör med fokus på rörlig bild. Bland hans långfilmer kan nämnas Avalon (2011), Toppen av ingenting (tillsammans med Måns Månsson, 2018) och Syndabocken (2023). Flera av Axel Peterséns verk finns sedan många år representerade i Filmforms distributionskatalog. Uppdraget som konsulent för kortfilm och nya format innebär bland annat att lyfta fram nya röster och utmana de filmiska gränserna. Axel är utbildad i filmregi, fri konst och konsthistoria bland annat på FAMU, Academy of Performing Arts i Prag och Kungl. Konsthögskolan i Stockholm. Flera av hans filmer har visats och nominerats till priser, både i Sverige och internationellt.

This year the focus is on the following artist: Staffan Lamm, Lina Selander, Felice Hapetzeder, Salad Hilowle, Mårten Nilsson & David Flamholc, Lola Möller & Andrew Hibbert, Sara Jordenö and Jan Lindqvist & Stefan Jarl.
