Weird Movies from the Middle of America
(English below) Weird Movies from the Middle of America (Undarlegar kvikmyndir frá Bandaríkjunum miðjum) er dagskrá helguð tilraunakenndum kvikmyndum og myndbandsverkum frá Chicago og miðvesturríkjum Bandaríkjanna. Þar eru veturnir nístandi kaldir, sumurin sjóðheit og rök - í þessum myndum eru andstæður sömuleiðis áberandi, átök á milli ytri heims og hins innri, hins þokkafulla og hins klunnalega, hins stöðuga og hins fljótandi. Sýndar verða sjö kvikmyndir þar sem jafnmargir myndlistar- og kvikmyndagerðarmenn fjalla um tilveruna á þessum slóðum í hjartnæmum, fyndnum, tilfinningaríkum og harmþrungnum kvikmyndum.

Like the dichotomy of bitter cold Midwestern winters and sticky, humid summers, this show is a pairing of interior and exterior, grace and clumsiness, static and wriggling. Using image and sound, these seven artists' films explain the love and hardship of Midwestern existence, and are all at once heartfelt, funny, emotive, and tragic. Carl Elsaesser - The Misbehaving Image Cameron Gibson - To the Realm of Precise Shadows Emily Oscarson - Don't Say Goodbye to Me Jesse Malmed - Thimblerig Jesse McLean - Somewhere Only We Know Meredith Lackey - Iron Condor Steve Reinke - Amsterdam Camera Vacation Curated by Emily Eddy Starts at 9pm. Tickets: 2000 ISK /// Carl Elsaesser is a film maker working out of Iowa, though he's originally from Maine which feels important. His works look at the formal qualities of representation, pulls them apart and often screams at them, all this in order to understand how notions of representational validity have become so manufactured, so hopelessly known, and to what terrifyingly banal affect. http://carlelsaesser.com/ /// Cameron Gibson is a Chicago-based filmmaker, teacher and occasional landscaper. Blending documentary, narrative and experimental film, his work often delves into personal histories and the uncanny - both realizing and critiquing a fundamental voyeurism at the heart of filmmaking and film watching.
