Peter Kubelka remembers his friend Stan Brakhage

Peter Kubelka: I met Brakhage the first time in 1958, on the occasion of the World Exhibition in Brussels, which included an experimental film competition. Of course, you know I always hated the word “experimental” – because I simply consider myself a filmmaker, period.

For a Metahistory of Film Studies: On Hollis Frampton’s Metahistory and the Development of Film Pedagogy at SUNY at Buffalo

In 1971 Hollis Frampton published an essay in Artforum called “For a Metahistory of Film: Commonplace Notes and Hypotheses.”[1] Like much of his writing and many of his films, this essay demonstrates his playful wit and encyclopedic knowledge of fields from theoretical mathematics to classical languages, literary modernism to relativistic physics. The essay is written as a paratactic […]

Stacy Alaimo: questions of caring for the common

With feminist, critical lenses, do we believe that building a relational (and posthuman) net of care and caring that is not tied to control is possible? Can we care for plants, animals, people and places without having some kind of claim on them? And if so what does this kind of care look like? How do we act on it?

You Silvana, You Capucine

A beautiful woman like you, a woman with a sense of humor… You had affairs with dead actors who were fortunate enough to have been in films that survived better and longer than yours. Does any of it matter now? Life is brutal. Life is unfair. Yours. Theirs. Ours. But let’s put it another way. You had something that most of us never get.

Avec les oreilles d’aujourd’hui : revenir à l’écoute de Godard

C’est d’autant plus vrai en 2026 : que faire pour apporter plus qu’une synthèse des fenêtres déjà ouvertes ? Se mettre dans la posture d’une spectatrice acoustique en partant de l’idée que l’écoute des films de Godard est « un processus de partage, de recherche, d’enregistrement, d’écoute et de réécoute ».

Godersi un film. Ritorno ad Aristotele

Il grecista Jean-Pierre Vernant mi disse: “Gli spartani di Eschilo ci commuove. Perché evoca qualche complesso psicologico, oppure perché è la tragedia stessa a commuoverci?” Per lui, ci commuoveva la tragedia. Ma cosa significa “è l’opera stessa a commuoverci”?

Anni fa conversai con un amico su un film d’autore, che a me non piacque molto. All’amico invece piacque, e analizzò tutti i sensi sottintesi, le correlazioni sottili del film, in modo brillante. Al che risposi: “Anche io avevo colto questi sensi. Ma il film non mi è piaciuto lo stesso”.

Critical Mass and the Age of the Prompt

Hollis Frampton’s Critical Mass (1971) turns a lovers’ quarrel into a study of how communication breaks down under pressure, and how film form can produce that breakdown. Shot with two SUNY Binghamton students improvising an argument and then meticulously re-edited, the film begins with a blank screen and only audio before image appears; from there […]

Figures de style  

La figure de Hollis Frampton suscite souvent chez ses exégètes une aura de fascination. Différents traits biographiques confèrent à sa personnalité un brio  mythologique, qu’il s’agisse de son éducation dans des écoles pour élèves surdoués, de  son étude des langues ou des mathématiques, de la fréquentation du poète Ezra Pound à Washington, de sa culture scientifique, de l’érudition vertigineuse dont témoignent ses  écrits et ses entretiens. Difficile d’échapper à ce jeu de séduction. Le style de ses essais,  elliptique, érudit, nous captive.

Sobre Information (1966), de Hollis Frampton

Information, de Hollis Frampton, consiste numa experiência rigorosamente elementar: um plano negro atravessado por pontos luminosos, que surgem, desaparecem, oscilam, repetem-se. Não há figuras reconhecíveis, nem espaço identificável, nem qualquer ancoragem narrativa. O que vemos é exclusivamente o resultado da relação entre luz (ou melhor, pontos luminosos) e escuridão, ao longo da duração do filme.

The Prophylactic Hand

There is a remarkable moment—one among legion—in Vertigo (1958), stunning for at once its simplicity and its complex depths.  It is surely a gateway, although to know into what it leads is a challenge not fully to be met by even the most appreciative in the film’s large audience.

1976: Ici et ailleurs. Fino alla vittoria!

L’et è, anzitutto, il montaggio di ordine e disordine, realtà e sogno, qui e altrove. L’et è la disgiunzione che congiunge lo spettacolo integrato sovietico con lo spettacolo diffuso americano, un capitalismo e con l’altro. Ma l’et non è più, come negli altri film (in pellicola) ciò che sta tra le immagini, che si infila, che fa da frammezzo, fessura, intervallo. In Ici et ailleurs l’et si schiude, si invagina nell’immagine.

Aprire i domani. Steven Shaviro: come immaginare la fluidità dei futuri

La science-fiction ha a che fare con eventi che non sono accaduti e non con eventi che potrebbero accadere, come nel caso della fiction naturalistica, o che potrebbero non accadere, come nel caso della letteratura fantastica. La science-fiction è ingaggiata nella costruzione di “mondi alternativi” e pertanto si definisce in funzione di un “orientamento futuristico”.

Frampton before Zorns. La superficie di tensione tra audio e visione

Le ricerche archeologiche di Foucault dimostrano che sapere è concatenato a potere e soggettivazione, pertanto nulla preesiste al sapere che però non è una semplice – o moderna troppo moderna – relazione gerarchica tra soggetto (che sa) e oggetto (che è saputo), non è nemmeno mera congiunzione, raccordo tra visibile e dicibile ma, come in Blanchot o nei film di Godard mai anche in quelli del più “classico” ma già moderno Joseph L. Mankiewicz, dis-giunzione, non-rapporto tra audio e visione. Sapere è la rissa tra parole e cose, stretta fra lottatori. 
I film di Hollis Frampton sono una riflessione e un’espressione di questa addizione/agencement deleuzeano e di questa rissa foucaultiana tra audio e visione.

Editorial

Vous êtes embarqué! Pascal shakes us from our pleasure, that which Hal Foster called “fascist” speaking of the spectatorial consumption of images of the First Gulf War: that which contemplates from far away. Land is not still anymore, but it is not enough to suffer with those others that the sea violently returns to land, dissolving their solidity. Like the brave ones that embarked towards Gaza, we do not solely need to get busy making the Lesbarkeit der Welt more interesting, as Blumenberg suggests, but also to interrupt the course of the world […]

(A)Religious Film: Materialism and Mourning in The Shrouds

Cronenberg articulated a more dialectical position, describing himself not as an atheist but as a materialist — one for whom existence is defined by the physical and the tangible rather than the transcendent.
Cronenberg’s cinema has always been grounded in this uncompromising materialism.

Gaza, compas moral du monde

Il est des lieux qui condensent l’Histoire au point de devenir des seuils : seuil entre la lumière et les ténèbres, entre la vérité et le mensonge, entre l’humanité et la barbarie. Gaza est de ceux-là. Gaza est l’Apocalypse en marche : non pas la fin du monde, mais la fin d’un monde – celui […]

Habitando la muerte. La arquitectura en The Shrouds

Esta minuciosa planificación permite usar un método narrativo convencional a través de la alternancia de planos generales, con otros cercanos, planteando los diálogos en plano contraplano, a veces entre una persona y una pantalla, en la que se va desarrollando un argumento poco usual, donde juega un papel esencial ese espacio singular, sin paramentos verticales que lo divida y al mismo tiempo diverso y separado por sus superficies a distintos niveles que definen sus distintas funciones, un ámbito arquitectónico que por su configuración, uso y materiales, puede rememorar a un panteón construido para habitarlo, pero también como representación del pensamiento propio de una persona singular.

Les flottilles pour Gaza ou l’inachevé comme forme politique

Ainsi, les flottilles composent une mémoire insoumise. Non pas une mémoire de la victoire, mais une mémoire de la persistance. Non pas l’achèvement, mais l’inachèvement comme forme politique. Non pas la totalité, mais la constellation fragmentaire d’actes vulnérables et obstinés qui, au cœur du désastre, rappellent l’urgence d’agir et le refus du consentement.

Le Madleen ou l’inachevé comme forme politique 

Voilier modeste chargé de vivres offerts par les habitants de Catane, le Madleen avait quitté la Sicile le 1er juin pour Gaza. Dans la nuit noire du 9, il a été intercepté dans les eaux internationales et ses passagers arrêtés, ce qui constitue un cas de violation manifeste des lois internationales. Mais s’il ne parviendra jamais à destination, il aura pourtant fait trembler l’ordre des choses, non par sa force, mais par le silence qu’il met à nu, celui d’un monde qui détourne le regard pour mieux administrer l’effacement. 

Jeanne Dielman o la de-composizione del lavoro

Nel 1975 Federici pubblica un testo strategicamente decisivo e che fa epoca. Martha Rosler, cioè l’artista femminista forse più importante di quegli anni, realizza un videotape che entra in relais con un secondo testo scritto sempre da Federici nel 1975. E sempre nel 1975 Chantal Akerman gira quello che è il suo film più celebrato e che è come una presa in carico e una simbolizzazione sia del videotape di Rosler che dei testi di Federici. 

Cronenberg explores the beyond

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?
Edgar Allan Poe

Il sudario

“…
Ora, nell’ora buia,
rovina nella fibra digitale,
scompare, e con te
le tue dita di sposa,
la tua voce generosa,
la luce della pelle
che mi ha insegnato
il calore delle cose.
Avrei voluto per te la morte
dell’eroe, salvarti
dalla decomposizione
                                     …”

El cuerpo y la palabra

En todo caso, para filmar la apariencia de su muerte en el corto The Death of David Cronenberg (2021), su obra pospandémica, Cronenberg no recurrió en los sesenta segundos que dura el filme a ninguna palabra: solo dos cuerpos repetidos, el muerto y el vivo, colocados uno al lado del otro; el muerto, por supuesto, no puede hablar; el vivo se limita a besarlo y acariciarlo.

El limbo de la carne: el duelo del cuerpo en The Shrouds

Este punto de vista relacional es interesante porque en The Shrouds la cuestión de la corporalidad está en estrecho diálogo con la temática del duelo. No penetraremos en una explicación psicologista del mismo, pero sí que detendremos brevemente la mirada en un tema vinculado con él, y que para Cronenberg es relevante a lo largo de su obra, y que alude a la tesis del duelo imposible articulada por Jacques Derrida en diversos tramos de su pensamiento.

The Shrouds, Símptoma d’una imatge en conserva

Al segle XIX, acompanyant el sorgiment de la fotografia, es popularitza – evidentment, entre les famílies benestants- la pràctica de la fotografia pòstuma. Post mortem. Un record que fa perviure la imatge del difunt. Un últim crit, un últim i desesperat intent per no desaparèixer. Dos segles més tard, ara des de la ciència, seguim en aquesta carrera antinatura. La biotecnologia, per exemple, mira més enllà de l’utilitarisme. Té “una vocación ontológica, una aspiración trascendental” i la tecnociència apunta cap a una subversió de la prioritat d’allò orgànic sobre allò tecnològic. Així, Paula Sibilia parla d’una “tecnología de la inmortalidad” (2009, 53-54).  

No hay nada más real que una alucinación

Acudo arduo a ChatGPT para comprobar si eso de la putrefacción de los dientes en casos de profunda tristeza es posible. La inteligencia artificial de OpenAI me deja claro que “el duelo en sí mismo no hace que los dientes se pudran”, aunque señala que efectos colaterales como el bruxismo, el descuido de la higiene o la sequedad bucal sí podrían afectar a la salud dental. Entiendo la frase, pues, como una licencia poética por parte del dentista (…)

En la hora del lobo

Esa diferencia entre realidad y onirismo ha desaparecido. En la hora del lobo, lo espectral y lo tangible van de la mano sin que podamos casi advertirlo, fruto del dolor de un hombre o de la lucidez de un cineasta. 

Lo que queda de un film

“Cuéntame sobre su cuerpo –inquiere Terry a Karsh hablando de Becca–. Has hecho de los cuerpos tu carrera”, y es como si estas palabras estuvieran dirigidas al propio Cronenberg de parte de un espectador ansioso. ¿Qué nos va a decir ahora sobre el cuerpo que no haya dicho ya? O mejor, ¿cómo nos lo va a decir? ¿Qué imágenes va a emplear, de qué manera va a ir más allá de ellas?

Il cimitero digitale o del viaggio impossibile

Quel viaggio in aereo di Karsh, nonostante le sue intenzioni da “turista” per cui il viaggio è ciò di cui si sa da dove si parte e dove ci porta, “non è un viaggio, è finito in anticipo. Si è già arrivati, e niente accade più” (Derrida). Il viaggio come esperienza è pericoloso e infatti il film si fa pericoloso, è danger, come dice Derrida, è minacciante, viaggio dell’impossibile: dangerous method, esperienza-traccia, Derrida direbbe “viaggio senza design”, men che meno quello digitale. Questo viaggio dell’impossibile è The Shrouds.

Silvia Listorti / Ogni volta che il respiro grida in me (Sooft Der Atem in mir schreit), 2025

Gabriele Massaro / Cassa Armonica

“Ma ben lontano dalla prigione di parole di cui parla McLuhan, il rovescio della medaglia è la grande malleabilità di questo linguaggio. Un linguaggio che assomiglia alla creta con cui possiamo sporcarci le mani, un linguaggio da accarezzare, modellare, strangolare. Il linguaggio digitale mette in bella mostra il suo aspetto materiale in modi che prima erano sconosciuti”.
K. Goldsmith

On the interruption of the continuum

Land is not still anymore, but it is not enough to suffer with those others that the sea violently returns to land, dissolving their solidity.

There is a need to rethink the boundaries of the old categories to connect epistemology, politics, and arts, representations and media; social justice and climate justice. LFU has always had a multispecies vocation and is increasingly involved in a trans scenario.

I materiali e la poesia. Da Frank Stella a David Hume

I materiali e la poesia. Da Frank Stella a David Hume

A lungo la pittura è stata idealismo, sublimazione del materiale, trasfigurazione della materia, investimento soggettivo dell’oggettività. La pittura di Ryman è un “making something visible”. Ryman ha detto: “I do something with the paint, but I’m not painting a picture of anything”. Già il Modernismo l’aveva fatta finita con la concezione della pittura come rappresentazione, finestra albertiana attraverso la quale guardare il mondo e leggere narrativamente il suo significato.

Plotinus, Alfred North Whitehead, Electromorphic Art, and Feminine Ecopoetics

This is the third of three linked essays whose purpose is to triangulate ideas from Plotinus’s aesthetic built on a feeling of love for higher reality (and the analogy between aesthetic experience and henosis, the unification of One that is beyond being), the cosmology in which Alfred North Whitehead unfolded the metaphysical implications of the science of electromagnetism, and feminist art and the experience of parler femme.

Introduction. Ousmane Sembène: Inverting the Colonial Gaze

Ousmane Sembène, with his pipe, interprets a secondary character,  a professor of a “popular school,” in Black Girl (1966).

His work emerged in the aftermath of Senegal’s national liberation […]

Come in uno specchio. Da Godard a Godard

Quando Michel-Ange nel rosselliniano Les carabiniers (1962) di Jean-Luc Godard entra nella sala cinematografica per la prima volta nella sua vita ha le medesime reazioni che avevano gli spettatori dei fratelli Lumière.

Re-existence through cosmopoetics: a decolonial approach to contemporary cinema

Quizá podamos pensar que en la diversidad de pensamientos, opciones de vida, maneras diferentes de hacer, sentir, actuar y pensar del mundo contemporáneo el arte se esté constituyendo en las comunidades y sujetos étnicos en una acto decolonial que interpela, increpa y pone en cuestión las narrativas de exclusión y marginalización. —Adolfo Albán Image production […]
