NELSON HENRICKS SCREENING OF "SATELLITE"
goback

 

CFC

From dusk to midnight
April 20-21
May 3-4, 2007

SAW Video is proud to present Satellite by Nelson Henricks as part of the National Arts Centre's Quebec Scene. Beyond his contribution to Quebec's artistic community through his writings and curatorial projects, Henricks, whose work in video has been recognized internationally, is a key figure in Quebec's video art scene. As a university instructor, he also plays an important role as mentor to emerging artists.

In Henricks' work, the interplay of images with words reveals a lucid personality in search of transcendence. In his latest single channel videos (including Satellite) this interplay is modulated by the artist's use of electronic music where the poetic dialogue of elements articulates a new form of technological lyricism.
SCREENING

Satellite will screen April 20-21 and May 3-4 2007 from dusk to midnight in SAW's historic courtyard, 67 Nicholas Street, Ottawa.

ARTIST TALK
Saturday April 21 at 2 pm in Club SAW.

SATELLITE (color video, 6 minutes, 2004)
In the video Satellite, Nelson Henricks combines found footage and techno beats to question western society's ongoing obsession with science, technology and the future. Juxtaposing images derived from old educational films with absurd, aphoristic slogans, Henricks offers up a witty, entertaining and provocative commentary of our need to make sense of everything, at any cost.

NELSON HENRICKS
Nelson Henricks was born in Bow Island, Alberta and is a graduate of the Alberta College of Art (1986). He moved to Montréal in 1991, where he received a BFA from Concordia University (1994). Henricks lives and works in Montréal, where he has taught at Concordia University (1995 - 2007), McGill University (2001 - 2003) and Université du Québec à Montréal (1999, 2003). A musician, writer, curator and artist, Henricks is best known for his videotapes, which have been exhibited worldwide. A focus on his video work was presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as part of the Video Viewpoints series (2000). His writings have been published in various magazines and anthologies. With Steve Reinke, Henricks coedited an anthology of artist's video scripts entitled "By the Skin of Their Tongues" (YYZ Press, 1997). Henricks was the recipient of the Bell Canada Award in Video Art (2002) and the Board of Govenors' Alumni Award of Excellence from the Alberta College of Art and Design (2005).

De la tombée du jour jusqu'à minuit
20-21 avril
3-4 mai 2007

SAW Video est fier de présenter Satellite de Nelson Henricks dans le cadre du festival Scène Québec du Centre National des Arts. En plus de contribuer à la communauté artistique par ses écrits et ses activités de commissariat, Henricks a réalisé une production vidéographique qui a marqué le paysage artistique québécois tout en rayonnant à travers le monde. Enseignant universitaire, Henricks joue également un rôle important sur la scène québécoise en tant que mentor pour les artistes émergents et ceux à venir..

Dans l'oeuvre de Nelson Henricks, la poésie de l’image et du verbe fait signe d’une personnalité lucide en quête de transcendance. Dans ces derniers vidéogrammes (dont Satellite), cette poésie est rythmée sur une musique électronique, articulant une nouvelle forme de lyrisme technologique.
PROJECTION

Satellite sera diffusée les 20-21 avril et 3-4 mai 2007, de la tombée du jour à minuit. Dans la cour historique de SAW, 67 Nicholas Street, Ottawa.

RENCONTRE AVEC L'ARTISTE
Samedi 21 avril à 14h au Club SAW.

SATELLITE (vidéo couleur, 6 minutes, 2004)
Dans la vidéo Satellite, Nelson Henricks combine de la pellicule trouvée et des rythmes technos pour questionner la perpétuelle obsession de la société occidentale à l'égard de la science, de la technologie et du futur. En juxtaposant des images qui proviennent de vieux films éducatifs avec des aphorismes absurdes, Henricks offre un commentaire divertissant, drôle et provocateur de notre besoin de donner un sens à tout, à n'importe quel prix.

NELSON HENRICKS
Nelson Henricks est né à Bow Island (1963), Alberta, et est diplômé du Alberta College of Art (1986). En 1991, il s'est installé à Montréal où il a obtenu un baccalauréat en cinéma de l'Université Concordia (1994). Henricks vit et travaille à Montréal, où il a enseigné à l'Université Concordia (1995-2007), à l'Université McGill (2001-2003) et à l'Université du Québec à Montréal (1999, 2003). Musicien, écrivain, conservateur et artiste, Henricks est mieux connu pour ses vidéogrammes, qui ont été présentés à travers le monde et notamment au MoMA, à New York, dans le cadre de la série « Video Viewpoints ». Ses écrits ont été publiés dans diverses revues et anthologies incluant « By the Skin of Their Tongues » (YYZ Press, 1997), une anthologie de scénarios d'artistes coéditée par Henricks et Steve Reinke. Nelson Henricks est le récipiendaire du Prix Bell Canada en art vidéo (2002) et du Prix d'excellence des diplômés de l'Alberta College of Art and Design (2005).

I am shooting Saturday morning, April 14th & maybe an hour or two in the afternoon as well as Sunday, April 15th evening till late dusk. I need two people to hold mic booms, and a third to manage a "B" camera, (small, simple, consumer model, JVC) We'll be shooting a little north of Carp from 9:00 am till noon and more if we can't get the shots I want. Else I would need people for a short while in the afternoon. I'll provide lunch at noon. I've already made reservations at a good restaurant with healthy food. We will shoot again Sunday evening: 6:30pm to about 8:30pm. I can also give you a small honourarium, transportation money, and a credit in the closing titles.

(Alternatively, reciprocal agreements may be possible, depending on scheduling).

The film has the working title "Forest Faunum" and we have one professional child actor who will be dressed as a furry animal. It's an
animal welfare piece; anti-cruelty, if that makes a difference to you one way or the other.

CFI'S THIRD SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE FILM FESTIVAL
goback

CFI's THIRD SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE FILM FESTIVAL

STARTS THURSDAY

Starting this Thursday, the Canadian Film Institute will present its third annual festival of films from South Eastern Europe, showcasing the national cinemas of Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Greece, Albania, and Bulgaria. The six-film festival begins on Thursday, April 12, at 7:00PM, with the award-winning Turkish film, TIMES AND WINDS. All films are Ottawa premieres and are in their original languages with English sub-titles.

This festival presents work from one of most complex and fascinating regions in the world. Films from these countries are consistently impressive, both in terms of film style and of thematic sophistication,' says CFI Director Tom McSorley. 'We
are again proud to showcase the excellent cinematic work of South Eastern Europe in this our third annual festival.'

Here is the schedule for this week:

Thursday April 12, 19:00

TIMES AND WINDS
Director: Reha Erdem . Turkey 2006, 110 minutes.

TIMES AND WINDS is a finely etched portrait of remote village life in Turkey

composed of small, meticulously observed moments of great beauty, melancholy and lyricism. Reha Erdem's latest feature is about the bumpy emotional lives of three preteen friends, Ömer, Yakup and Yildiz, and the ways their families curb
their dreams and desires as surely as the mountains and the sea confine their isolated village. Within vast cinemascope compositions, Erdem captures his troubled young protagonists posed against the sublime landscape, a deeply affecting motif
that subtly conveys so much, so poignantly. Times and Winds is a small miracle: an intensely meditative film about young people's inner worlds. English sub-titles.

Friday April 13, 19:00

DAYS AND HOURS
Director: Pjer Zalica .

Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 2004, 96 minutes.

Fuke pays a visit to his Uncle Idriz and Aunt Sabira to fix their hot water heater. As he sits down with them for a cup of coffee, he endures a painful, awkward silence: his aunt and uncle are consumed with their own grief over the loss
of their son in the war. When he discovers that his old, beat-up Volkswagen has a flat tire, Fuke is faced with the unpleasant prospect of spending the night with his aunt and uncle. During the long night, he becomes aware of long-held grudges that are
driving a wedge between the couple, serving to deepen their loneliness. Fuke realizes it is up to him to bring about their reconciliation, and the household appliance mechanic turns his hand to engineering human happiness. Brilliant. English
sub-titles.

Friday April 13, 21:00

SEVEN AND A HALF

Director: Miroslav Momcilovic . Serbia 2005, 110 minutes.The Deadly Sins have been the subject of cinema before, in thrillers (Se7en
David Fincher, 1995) and comedy (The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins Graham Stark, 1971), here Miroslav Momcilovic's treatment of the subject combines drama and comedy in a superb summation of society in modern Serbia. The film presents seven
stories, each representing a deadly sin, which seem to take place in the same neighbourhood of Belgrade. Main characters from one film will make a small appearance in another, and so the whole gives the sense of a living, breathing place. The stories
eventually combine in a final scene of great emotion, full of pain, yet hope for the future.
English sub-titles.

Saturday April 14, 19:00

HOLD ME

Director: Lucia Rikaki . Greece 2005, 90 minutes.HOLD ME, directed by Lucia Rikaki, was conceived on the Internet and
developed gradually into a multi-genre, pseudo-documentary fairy tale. The story of a woman from a broken home, Julie searches for tenderness in her life, and finds nothing but mistrust and fear. At age 33, Julie, now a radio presenter, creates a
website inviting people to share stories of loss. As people respond, Julie begins meeting them, and enters a world of emotions and dreams. The film uses real stories narrated by real people to set the stage for Julie's continuing search for love and meaning.
English sub-titles.
