    From the 5th to the 22nd of July, 2018, the Edit Film Culture! festival and exhibition is taking place at silent green Kulturquartier and Arsenal. It incorporates different event formats involving international experts and artists to raise questions about the conditions of film cultures today and their relevance for society. The magazine Film Culture, which was started by Jonas and Adolfas Mekas in New York in 1955, was regarded as a platform for dialogue between filmmakers and their audiences, between theory and practice, between film and art. 79 issues were published through 1996.

  • Gregory J. Markopoulos and the Cantrills – MELNYC – Melbourne

    July 2, 2018 - July 10, 2018

    Part of the MELNYC celebration of Melbourne and New York

     

    This program was a reflection on the under-explored relationship between Markopoulos and the Australian experimental film pioneers Arthur and Corinne Cantrill.

    Markopoulos was one of the leading figures of the New American Cinema of the 1960s. During these years in New York, he created a singular, mythic, and poetic body of work, and made films with numerous leading NYC figures—Andy Warhol, Taylor Mead, Jasper Johns, W.H. Auden, Susan Sontag, Shirley Clarke, Allen Ginsberg, Jonas Mekas, and several others. But, by 1967, disillusioned with the American underground cinema, Markopoulos left for Europe with his partner Robert Beavers. He began to pull his films from distribution in the US and, in the early ‘70s, publicly announced his dissociation from New York’s Film-makers Co-operative and the New American Cinema. In Europe, he would develop his vision for a film archive and projection space for, and commensurate to, both his and Beavers’ films. This would be founded in the Temenos, near Lyssarea in Greece, which was conceived of as the fimmakers’ gift to future ideal viewers of their films, the “New Cinema Spectators”.

    The removal of his films from distribution is partially why Markopoulos remains so overlooked and under-seen. However, quite surprisingly, and luckily for all of us, as part of his exile from America, Markopoulos offered his films to the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. In fact, during the early ‘70s, when Markopoulos was cutting his ties with New York’s film culture, he also started to publish for the newly-initiated, Melbourne film journal, the Cantrills Filmnotes (1971-2000), run by Arthur and Corinne Cantrill. The largely forgotten story of Markopoulos, and his less recognised connections with Australian film culture (and the Cantrills especially), inspired this program. This is a really rare opportunity to see Markopoulos’s and the Cantrills films—which are born of a similar commitment to the cathode medium itself; to “film as film”—in their intended, material formats.

    We hope you can join us for some or all of the screenings in July. Please share with anyone who may be interested.

    With best wishes,
    Audrey Lam and Keegan O’Connor
