Overview
A selection of critically acclaimed artists will work their craft on the silver screen, as part of the ART+FILM program at ACMI. Once a month, the Fed Square venue will screen a different single channel artwork, each of which pushes the boundaries of traditional filmmaking techniques. Good luck finding any of these on Netflix.
The first in the series is set for Tuesday, March 22. Directed by Chen Chieh-jen, Factory is a 30-minute silent film that examines industrial decay in the artist's native Taiwan. The screening at ACMI will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.
The program continues on Tuesday, April 26 with Stretching Time, comprised of two high-def video works by New Zealand artist Steven Carr. The screening will coincide with the opening of Carr's solo exhibition at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne.
Then on Monday, May 23, ACMI will screen highlights from 24 Frames per Second, a major moving-image installation originally presented at Carriageworks in Sydney last year. That screening will be followed by a Q&A with artist Nat Cursio and Carriageworks curator Nina Miall. The screenings are free, but bookings are recommended.
