Curated by Tetsuya Maruyama.

As a painter applies pigment to a canvas, a filmmaker applies light and matter to a film strip. This program, hand-picked by Tetsuya Maruyama, featured experimental works on 16mm produced at artist-run film labs scattered throughout the vast and diverse geopolitical territories of Brazil. Through the relation of physical sensation to the ecological and the cultural, film-skin is profaned as a tangible material that becomes ephemeral when passed through a projector. This group of works emerge from the personal interests of each artist without expecting anything in return. Filmmaker and guest curator Tetsuya Maruyama joined us in-person for a post-screening Q&A.

Screening: Francisco B. Gusso, Moira Lacowicz, Helder Martinovsky, Tetsuya Maruyama, Maria Mion, João Reynaldo, Duo Strangloscope, Līgia M. Teixeira, and Ж.
