🔹 TONIGHT 9pm
“Controfigura” (2016)
By

| Sala 2 | Cinema São Jorge

The film is freely based on the feature film “The Swimmer” from 1964, starring Burt Lancaster. Di Martino takes her cue from both the story and the film to capture the suspended atmospheres of this famous surreal tale, in which a middle-aged man swims from pool to pool to cross the city to return home, re-liv- ing his life through a metaphorical voyage. In the re-enactment of the film di Martino chooses to set her version of the story in an equally metaphysical Marrakech, a contradictory city, ancient and modern at the same time, true and false, and in any case the reflection of a bourgeoisie in search of new motivations.

With: Filippo Timi, Valeria Golino, Corrado Sassi, Younes Bouab, Nadia Kounda, Nisrine Adam.

🔸 first slide: “La Camera” (2006). A collaboration with the LUCE Archive in Cinecittà, Rome. This archive holds most of the cine-news from 1930 to 1970. The audio of some of these old news-reels in particular the ones who chronicle the advent of television set as a normal domestic accessory. These audio alternates with interviews to people who recount personal, intimate TV memories. Two actors, displaced on a hill and framed by a wooden “drawn-like” perspective of a room, re-enact verbatim all the voices.

🔸second slide: “Can Can!” (2004): A man in a kitchen kitchen disguises himself as an old woman and dances to the tune of Jacques Offenbach's Can Can in an unbridled manner. There is thus a double disguise, because underneath the old woman's clothes are appearing also the typical clothes of the French dancers.

🔸third slide: “The Picture of Ourselves” (2014) . Memory is a fundamental element in Rä di Martino's research: in the video the artist projects us into the carefree atmosphere of childhood, which becomes a warning for the adult life. A close-up of a girl with an angelic face turns into a close-up in which a man is revealed holding the kid by her legs, allowing her to swing upside down. The inverted position, which is nothing more than a change of perspective, suggests the claim to be someone else, as often happens during childhood, film or fiction, but is also found in the twelfth card of the major arcana of the tarot, the one of the hanged man.

| Sala 2 | Cinema São Jorge

🔸 first slide: Copies Récentes du Paysages Ancienne / Petite Histoire des Plateaux Abandonnès (2012). Shot in the abandoned movie sets in south Morocco using two local kids as actors.
The two kids re-enact a few lines from movies shot there, an American horror movie, Lawrence of Arabia... these lines become abstract. All around natural and uncontaminated landscapes stand outside of time adding a fictional element to the sets with their almost unreal beauty.

🔸second slide: “Poor, Poor Jerry (2017)”time, music, cinema and television built a sharable and common imaginary, intertwining on many levels, and forming a free sentimental encyclopedia not based on an alphabetic or gender order. A set of signs apt to determine ages, places and experiences, both on a collective and personal level. Even if for many this experience becomes an instrument to better arrange emotions and build personal maps with which to move inside reality through the association of memories, for someone else it represents a burden from which it’s impossible to get free, a dead weight hindering new thoughts and original visions. Poor Poor Jerry investigates our collective awareness, overlapping the deeds of an icon of American animated series and desert landscapes of Lanzarote with pop cinema soundtracks and dialogues.

🔸 first slide: “Moonbird” (2022) a hybrid piece that blends cinema, videoart and opera, with the libretto composed by singer/song writer Mauro Remiddi. The images introduce us to the story of the Moonbird, a dreamlike creature that appears and animates the villa where a man, by his choice has isolated himself from the world, a botanist who lives immersed in his objects, in his immense house that imprisons and immobilises him. A trivial event draws the protagonist out of his darkness of conventions and monotony. Here, in a state of oneiric suspension, the Moonbird is born, the one that could not pe*****te the real does so through the unconscious. The bird symbolises the message, it represents the greatest spiritual influence. This message, whatever it is, is personal, unique and unspeakable, and cannot pe*****te the human world.

🔸second slide: “Red Shoes” (2007), recalls a story and resembles something, a hazy memory or dream, from somewhere. The film appears to be part of a feature film, perhaps one that we have seen, but can't quite remember the name. It can be read as found footage, a fake found footage.

“Whipping Zombie” (2017)

🔸In a remote Haitian village, a ritual dance, slaves and masters: it’s the zombie dance. Riding on a hypnotic and relentless music, inducing trance and evoking the rhythm of working muscles, men whip and fight one another, until they die and be born again in an infinite cycle.

Kale Zonbi, Whipping Zombie, the title of a unique ritual shot for the first time, taking place in a paradise where it is impossible to forget the horror of the past.

Da Luz Collective

Da Luz Collective is a collective of curators, working with young artists who are using light as a medium and/or a result – videos, photography, light installations, etc. The collective aims to show, enhance and illustrate new artworks in a perspective of “vision” and “visual” criticism. To look through and beyond the Art works.To understand the critical attitude of the visual. To project a spotlight on young Artists. These are the main ideas driving Da Luz Collective. Its name, indeed, outlines the attention for the imperceptible (the word Luz / Light) that fascinates the curators. Da Luz Collective realizes exhibitions and projections, and organizes events inviting, when possible, the artists in engaging in a conversation with the spectator, sharing ideas and discussing their work. Da Luz Collective is composed by three young curators, each one with a different background: Filippo De Tomasi is a Ph.D. candidate at Nova University of Lisbon, whose research is about the relationship between contemporary art and photography; Kasia Sobczak - Wróblewska is an independent curator and manager of Contemporary Art Tours Lisbon, mainly working with visual arts, especially installation and site-specific art; and Orsola Vannocci Bonsi, who works in a contemporary art gallery and is finishing her Master in Culture Studies, interested in cultural identity, politics, conflict and its translation into art.
