“The cinema must restore our belief in the world (…) before or beyond words”
      (Gilles Deleuze)

Unha das expresións máis estrañas da cultura contemporánea é a cinefilia no seu sentido mais puro: o amor ao cine. A cinefilia é algo que se vive, que se transmite, que se trata co extremo coidado das cousas fráxiles. Os filmes bos salvan a vida dos cinéfilos, repoñen unha certa bondade intrínseca do mundo. Se non fose polos filmes, polas clases ou polas palabras, polo menos Thom Andersen sería un cinéfilo, alguén que non distingue no mundo o cine do non-cine.

Profesor da prestixiosa CalArts, escola de arte nos Ánxeles, Andersen, nado en Chicago no ano 1943, é un cineasta de afectos que compón unha filmografia non moi extensa, mais particularmente ben articulada e pensada con detalle. É talvez a súa faceta pedagóxica a que nos obriga, paseniño, a volver ollar para o cine ou para lugares de memoria (unha vez máis, non importa se eses lugares pertencen ás imaxes en movemento ou á realidade cotiá), descubrindo o que está detrás, a tensa política do mundo en cada rostro dunha estrela de Hollywood ou do mural comunitario perdido nunha calella dos Ánxeles. Formado na USC School of Cinematic Arts, dos Ánxeles, Thom Andersen fai os seus primeiros traballos académicos xa nos anos sesenta, coas curtametraxes Melting (1965), — ——- (1966–67) (tamén coñecida coma The Rock n Roll Movie) e Olivia’s Place (1966/74). É, porén, coa súa primeira longametraxe que o realizador produce o seu primeiro traballo con folgos, a analizar a arqueoloxía do cine nos traballos do fotógrafo, pioneiro e experimentador Eadweard Muybridge. Neste filme, Andersen mostra xa a súa agudeza na análise política das imaxes e da súa propia produción. Neste sentido, veremos, aquí e en filmes posteriores, a forma en que o seu traballo rescata as imaxes perdidas nos arquivos do tempo e olla para elas cunha nova mirada, comprometido nunha visión marxista do mundo: quen explora e quen é explorado. Por exemplo, com Red Hollywood, de 1996 (realizado con Noël Burch), Thom Andersen analiza os trazos comunistas de guionistas e realizadores que foron silenciados na historia do cine logo da caza de bruxas protagonizada polo senador Joseph McCarthy e da que resultou unha listaxe negra destes e doutros autores. Neste filme, o cineasta vai, pacientemente, desocultando esas imaxes e sons, vendo neles a marca da denuncia social e dun reverso total do cine de estrelas de Hollywood. É un filme de extrema pedagoxía (e foi editado tamén un libro homónimo) e lanza, definitivamente, o método de traballo que culminou na sua obra mestra: Los Angeles Plays Itself, filme que comezou por ser un conxunto de clases que Andersen impartía en CalArts.

Los Angeles Plays Itself é un vídeo-ensaio avant la lettre no que desmonta a representación do espazo no cine. Para Andersen, o espazo é un factor político porque implica unha relación do realizador co que é retratado. En Los Angeles, o cineasta mostra como a cidade é utilizada de forma caótica, anacrónica ou cómica, precisamente por ser a meca do cine e onde todos os estudios se atopan. Por iso mesmo, Andersen mostra os filmes verdadeiramente concordantes coa realidade do espazo, con aquilo que é mais fondamente identitario da cidade, en contraste con aqueles en que a cidade é un mero estudio para inventar outras realidades. O método será sempre o mesmo: extractos de filmes montados sobre unha voz en off cristalina, pedagóxica e mesmo irónica. É, así, a ironía unha das marcas do realizador, coma se só mirando desa forma fose posible afrontar a máquina industrial de Hollywood. A ironía é, moitas veces, asociada a unha asumida nostalxia – unha das marcas dun cinéfilo incorrixible: saber que o gran cine é raro e que o pasado encerra obras determinantes da historia da arte. Esa nostalxia, xunto a unha vertente mais política, está presente en Get Out of the Car, na que Andersen mostra como Os Ánxeles está nun proceso de agochamento do pasado. Curiosamente, esta curtametraxe é moi divertida – pelos apartes do propio Andersen – e a ironía está logo patente no seu título: Os Ánxeles – a cidade das grandes autoestradas – precisa volver mirar para si mesma, camiñar polas súas calellas e polas súas rúas.

A ruína, o pasado e aquilo que desaparece co tempo está presente tamén no filme máis portugués do cineasta: Reconversão, unha obra realizada en Portugal e sobre a obra do arquitecto portugués Eduardo Souto de Moura. Trocando o 16mm nostálxico de Get Out of the Car por unha técnica de timelapse inventada polo seu colaborador e cineasta Peter Bo Rappmund, en que o tempo parece suspenso, revélase como a obra de Souto de Moura é tanto construción coma ruína (é sintomático que unha das obras máis vibrantes deste documental sexa un edificio que o arquitecto proxectou sobre a ruína dun anterior proxecto seu).

O traballo de Thom Andersen pode ser comparado co dun arqueólogo que rescata as imaxes e lles dá novos sentidos, provocando unha revolta das propias imaxes, agora illadas e transcendidas das narrativas onde estaban inseridas. Iso é evidente en The Thoughts That Once We Had (2015), unha historia persoal do cine, que volve ao sentido pedagóxico-político de Los Angeles Plays Itself, mais agora nunha inclusión absoluta das imaxes en movemento e da súa historia. O filme é unha especie de gloria do cinéfilo, unha cobiza de ver o mundo a través destes filmes e con eles provocar unha ruptura co devir capitalista do futuro. Para iso, Andersen escribe no final deste filme: “To those who have nothing must be restored the cinema”. O cine como salvación do mundo é, pois, na cinefilia extrema de Thom Andersen, unha arma de revolución.

Lis Rhodes: Telling Invents Told

The Visible Press is pleased to announce our new book Telling Invents Told by British artist and filmmaker Lis Rhodes.

Telling Invents Told is the first collection of writings by Lis Rhodes. It includes the influential essay Whose History? alongside texts from works such as Light Reading, Pictures on Pink Paper and A Cold Draft, together with new and previously unpublished materials. Since the 1970s, Rhodes has been making radical and experimental work that challenges hegemonic narratives and the power structures of language. Her writing addresses urgent political issues – from the refugee crisis to workers’ rights, police brutality, racial discrimination and homelessness – as well as film history and theory, from a feminist perspective. An important figure at the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative, Rhodes was also a founding member of Circles, the first British distributor of film, video and performance by women artists.

Lis Rhodes’ early films and expanded cinema works include Dresden Dynamo (1971), Light Music (1975-77), and Light Reading (1978). These, and more recent works in video and digital, have featured in solo exhibitions at Tate Modern, the ICA, and are currently on display in the solo exhibition Dissident Lines at Nottingham Contemporary (25 May – 1 September 2019).

Telling Invents Told is edited by María Palacios Cruz, co-founder of The Visible Press and deputy director of LUX. Details of events that will celebrate its publication will be announced soon.

For more information, and to pre-order the book please see the product page in The Visible Press online shop.

 

Lis Rhodes: Dissident Lines

Lis Rhodes: Dissident Lines

Lis Rhodes is a pioneer of experimental filmmaking and a major figure in the history of artists working with film in Britain. Enabled by the Freelands Award 2017, Dissident Lines is Rhodes’ first-ever survey, and will span almost 50 years of work. Significantly, this is the first time that Nottingham Contemporary has ever dedicated all of its galleries to a retrospective. The exhibition will span Rhodes’ entire career, from iconic pieces such as Dresden Dynamo and Light Music to a specially commissioned new work.

Lis Rhodes has an unusually multifaceted practice, important not only as an artist, but also as a pioneering film programmer, campaigner for women’s rights and an influential educator. Her practice crosses into installation, sound art, performance and writing. She was a foundational member of Circles, a feminist film and video distribution network in the UK, and one of the early members of the London Filmmakers’ Co-op. She also taught at the Slade from 1978, influencing many generations of artists.

Rhodes has made a number of iconic pieces, such as her early film installation Light Music (1975-77), which was an innovative experiment in light and sound, presented originally as a performance. Rhodes made her first film while still a student at the North East London Polytechnic. Dresden Dynamo (1971) is a short 16mm film made without a camera by fixing Letratone stickers to film. She has described it as ‘visual abstraction’, ‘an attempt to make a material connection between what is seen and what is heard.’

Rhodes’ works since the 1990s have been responsive to unfolding geopolitical events. These films are potent and provocative critiques of a range of issues, from women’s rights, domestic violence to nuclear power, from migrant labour to surveillance (Orifso, 1999). More recently, In the Kettle (2012) cuts between the bombing of the Gaza Strip in 2009 to contemporaneous protests in London. Rather than comprising separate projects, Rhodes has seen these works as belonging to a single enquiry.

Lis Rhodes’ book Telling Invents Told, is now available to order from The Visible Press. A book launch, featuring Lis Rhodes in discussion with artist Aura Satz will take place at Nottingham Contemporay on Saturday 6 July 2019, at 5pm.

Lis Rhodes: Telling Invents Told – Reading Group

Lis Rhodes is an artist who takes words seriously, whether spoken, on the page or on the screen. Telling Invents Told draws together texts and images from across a career committed to unpicking the power relations of language. The book provides a rich inventory of texts written for a range of purposes: to accompany film images, to question established histories and advocate for the women left out of them, and, in extracts from her recent visual essay Journal of Disbelief, to call out injustices in all of their many forms. This indispensable volume offers a valuable opportunity to appreciate the inventiveness of Rhodes’ writing and its vital role in understanding her art.”
—- Lucy Reynolds, University of Westminster, London

Lucy Reynolds is an artist, writer and curator interested in the generative power of the spaces, discourses and memories of feminism. She has written extensively on the work of Lis Rhodes. She is Senior Lecturer and deputy director of the Centre for Research in Art and Media (CREAM) in the School of Arts at the University of Westminster, and co-editor of the Moving Image Review and Art Journal.
