film screening
5 FEB — 30 APR 2016
Open from We - Sa: noon - 22:00

I’m an eye, a mechanical eye; I the machine show you a world the way only I can see it.

This 1923 quote by the Russian filmmaker, Dziga Vertov, is an ode to the camera. During You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet, this statement connects the audiovisual creations that we allow to loop in our black box. The camera – and in some cases the film or photography studio as well – is a visible protagonist. This apparatus (be it a Polaroid, smartphone, 16mm or HD camera) continues to hold a prominent place, consistently allowing us to see only a portion of the story. What takes place in front of (or after, or around) the camera is often so much more than what is depicted on the screen. The artists taking part in this programme play with this phenomenon and make us aware of both the power and the pleasure of viewing.

► Dinner’s on us.
Each Wednesday (every two weeks!) at 8 pm, we organise a collective viewing moment. We invite an expert to introduce the film and provide food. Feet under the table, eyes on the screen.
