The Joy of Film
A selection of work which repurposes or deconstructs film in unexpected ways.
Illuminating the creative process, and offering reflections on the medium and the material itself, this programme of short experiments explores film in every essence.
The Joy of Film includes a number of works which reappropriate archive and found footage, including: Canadian artist Aaron Zeghers’ Conspiracy about Bart Sibrel, a taxi driver from Tennessee who spent his life trying to disprove the moon landings; Silvestar Kolbas’s The Red Star Cinema, comprised of damaged film strips found in the debris of the directors’ local cinema after it was bombed in the Homeland War; and the UK premiere of kogonada’s TEMPO // BASHO, a triptych exploring the possibility of an alternative modernity in the films of Yasujiro Ozu.
There’s also the world premiere of Sellotape Cinema’s new short. Part experiment, part documentary, and part essay, FilmBites ruminates on how film converses with philosophy. (dir.
