Co-curator, TRAMA program, Artium Museum.
This second edition of TRAMA explores the moving image and its relationship with other disciplines of art and thought. It therefore offers a programme centred on ecofeminism and environmental justice.
Faced with the constant destruction of diverse forms of life because of extractive policies, it is necessary to reflect collectively on restorative practices for what has been damaged. Chicana writer and activist Gloria Anzaldúa presents this exercise as an act of joining pieces together in a new way, as part of an ongoing process of doing and undoing. According to the author, there is no final resolution, only a process of permanent healing. This programme therefore invites us to focus our attention on ecocritical artistic research practices that expand and deepen our relationship with the land and the conflicts it is undergoing.

SOMEWHERE FROM HERE TO HEAVEN
Film curator, "Somewhere from Here to Heaven" film series.
Film curator, "Somewhere from Here to Heaven" film series.
The contemporary series focuses on the exhibition artists: Ana Vaz, Ben Rivers, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Eduardo Williams, who enter into dialogue with Bruce Baillie’s own films. The selected films propose a game, a possible conversation between the themes and sensitivities that they share with each other, such as the exploration of light and colour in nature, the fascination with new forms of freedom or the discovery of the most spiritual essence of things.
This historical series offers the opportunity to revisit the great fundamental classics of the American avant-garde (Maya Deren, Marie Menken, Bruce Conner or Larry Jordan) as well as films about the political and social movements of the time (Lenny Lipton, James Broughton, Tom Palazzolo, Dan Draisin), including great films made by a new generation of female filmmakers who brought a feminist look to a more personal and avant-garde cinema (Chick Strand, Alice Anne Parker, Gunvor Nelson, Janis Crystal Lipzin).

Curator of "The West Coast" series. A series on the Californian film avant-garde for the L’âge d’or festival in Brussels.
From the late 1950s until today, the American West coast has been the cradle of a major movement within avant-garde cinema. Centered around Canyon Cinema, one of the most important cooperatives distributing independent, avant-garde, underground or experimental film – co-founded in San Francisco by filmmakers Bruce Baillie and Chick Strand (both honoured by this program) – the West Coast scene was defined by its remarkable diversity of styles and subjects and was one of the principal agents of renewal in American cinema.

HEAVEN ON EARTH, THE SPIRITUALLY IN THE AMERICAN AVANT-GARDE CINEMA.
Curator of the project: “Heaven on Earth: Spirituality in American Avant-Garde Cinema.” 12 programs including works by Phil Solomon, Zoe Beloff, Nathaniel Dorsky, and Robert Beavers. Exhibited at La Casa Encendida and the CGAI, Spain.
Curator of the project: “Heaven on Earth: Spirituality in American Avant-Garde Cinema.” 12 programs including works by Phil Solomon, Zoe Beloff, Nathaniel Dorsky, and Robert Beavers. Exhibited at La Casa Encendida and the CGAI, Spain.
According to announcements, the expansion of a new consciousness will soon arrive and we will be able to travel through new dimensions. This cycle brings us closer to four American filmmakers who wanted to experience it first through cinema.
Zoe Beloff acts as a medium between the real and the imaginary, and her unique, sometimes stereoscopic universe defines the relationship between the different invisible planes in which we live. Phil Solomon, a long-time collaborator of Stan Brakhage, uses numerous techniques to represent the reflective abstraction and emotion of those who are constantly searching. Robert Beavers elegantly combines the aesthetics of the natural world and art, and Nathaniel Dorsky manages to reveal the internal pulse of the elements and the cadence of Californian light, demonstrating that the experimental is not at odds with beauty.
THE FORGOTTEN SPANISH NON-FICTION CINEMA AND IT’S RENEWAL
Curator of the cycle “The forgotten Spanish non-fiction cinema and its renewal” for the Anthology Film Archives (New York).
Curator of the cycle “The forgotten Spanish non-fiction cinema and its renewal” for the Anthology Film Archives (New York).
Spanning four decades of Spanish non-fiction cinema, this series highlights the connections between generations, but also the abyss that exists because of the political history of this land. This array of portraits and explorations depicting collective and individual identity generates a vivid dialogue between works from the past – by filmmakers including Luis Buñuel and José Val del Omar – and a new generation that is working with a radically new digital language. With passion, irreverence, and irony filmmakers like Isaki Lacuesta, Joaquím Jordá, José Luis Guerin, León Siminiani, Pere Portabella, and Virginia García del Pino show us a provocative perspective on the other side of this old country.
