romanian/română, english/engleză english/engleză

On Wednesday, November 29th, Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival BIEFF continues its new series Politics of the Body, created in collaboration with the National Museum of Contemporary Art of Romania (MNAC Bucharest), with the third screening: The Cinematic Body.

 

Referencing the concept of “haptic visuality” – as it has been developed in the seminal work The Skin of the Film, by cinema theorist and curator Laura U. Marks – the program proposes an unique sensorial journey, unfolding like a love story, from the initial ritual of seduction to the most in depth and unsettling forays into the soul of the loved one. It begins with exploring every inch of the filmic body, of its tactile nature, of celluloid as a stream of physical sensations. Shortly after, just as the loved one is at first a screen onto which we project past experiences and sensations, so do the films here engage in a dialogue with other cinematic bodies, which they recycle, reinterpret and re-analyse in a continuous conscious and subconscious flux. Which turns, over time, into an ongoing and more and more in depth discovery of the Other and of your own self. Gradually, the borders between lovers, between viewer and film start to melt away, and the initial divide between the audience and cinema disappear.

 

Museum visiting hours end at 6:00pm. The screening starts at 7:00pm, in the museum café on the 4th floor.

The films have been previously presented within the 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017 editions of BIEFF; they will be subtitled in English.
