    H2EEF EXTRA: "Imprints" and "Codes for North" with Stephen Broomer

    As well as being a teacher, publisher of great Canadian experimental films, producer of video essays and numerous other talents, Stephen Broomer is a prolific writer and editor. Here, we discuss two of his major book publications (one as author and one as co-editor) with a third due to be published soon. The first of these books is Imprints: The Films of Louise Bourque, which he co-edited with Clint Enns and which collates a host of essays and supplementary material about Bourque's films. Louise has appeared previously on this show and the book was an invaluable resource for this episode, as well as a great starting point for any viewers interested to learn about her work.

    H2EEF Spotlight: "Restless Reflection" Stephen Broomer Discusses Josephine Massarella

    In the final of our brief surveys of the work of three significant Canadian experimental filmmakers, Stephen Broomer (responsible for the publishing of works by the three artists discussed recently) returns to the show to discuss the work of Josephine Massarella (1957-2018). Massarella's career spans works involving various formally radical approaches to filmmaking. From durational works like One Woman Waiting and Interference to more restless works using flicker such as Light Study and No End, the central concerns of her work remain consistent, including feminist and ecological concerns as well as a strong sense of kinship and shared humanity. Broomer has published her entire filmography on a blu ray disc now available from Black Zero. In this episode, Stephen discusses Massarella's work, his friendship with the filmmaker and reflects on various personal responses to her work.

    H2EEF Spotlight: "Look, Make, Learn, Teach" with Richard Kerr

    Richard Kerr is a giant in Canadian experimental film. His works span from early personal projects such as On Land, Over Water: Six Stories to his fiercely urgent trilogy of films with a focus across the border to the United States: The Last Days of Contrition (1986), Cruel Rhythm (1991) and Field Trip (2021). His output also includes formally radical works of "accelerated cinema" featuring, as you'll hear, Richard's theory of "Total Movement" in films such as Plein Air and House Arrest. An all-round artist, Richard's work also includes photography, painting and "film weavings", many of which you can view online. This episode takes a broad look at Richard's career, with a particular focus on the "American" trilogy, which has been released on Blu-Ray along with a short film and a host of extra features by Stephen Broomer at Black Zero.

    H2EEF Special: "Cinéma Graphique" with Dominique Willoughby

    Filmmaker, video artist and current president of the Paris Films Co-Op Dominique Willoughby returns to the show to discuss his own film and video works. Fascinated by the hypnotic power of cinema, his films and videos are simultaneously mesmerising and energetic experiences. In this episode, Dominique discusses his career from his earliest experimental works, (inspired variously by CinéDoc founders Guy Fihman and Claudine Eizykman as well as international artists Len Lye and Michael Snow) as he forged his own path to create a unique body of work. Also fascinated by pre-cinema artefacts, particularly Phenakistiscope stroboscopic discs, Dominique's films explore the viewer's capacity for perception in a manner quite unlike any other filmmaker. This episode features music from Parazite Système Sonore: Spot Phelizon & Joëlle Colombeau as well as music by Kaumwald. Dominique's book Cinéma Graphique (in French) is available to buy from Amazon. View many of Dominique's films via his Vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/domwilloughby For more info about Cinédoc, visit cinedoc.org

    H2EEF 51 "Chemical Archeology" with Sapphire Goss

    Inter-disciplinary artist Sapphire Goss joins the show to discuss her varied work, involving art objects, installation work, still photography and our particular focus here: film and video work. In a hybrid practice, bringing together celluloid film, digital video and pre-cinema artefacts, (particularly stereoscopic photography) these are haunting works in the truest sense: the screen is haunted by otherworldly decayed and decaying images and the viewer is haunted in turn by the works’ mesmerising presence.

    H2EEF 50 Here and There and Wherever She Is with Vivian Ostrovsky

    Vivian Ostrovsky is a truly international filmmaker (as well as curator). Born in New York to a Belarusian father and Ukrainian mother, Vivian has been somewhat nomadic all of her life, regularly finding herself in Rio, Paris, New York and Tel Aviv. “Home”, she writes “is wherever I feel at home – and that might be in a hotel or on a plane or on my way to an unknown destination with a camera and recorder in my bag”. Her works freely combine footage she has shot herself with an array of found footage, featuring both heartfelt affection and laugh-out-loud humour. Starting as an exclusively Super-8 based filmmaker, she now favours her mobile phone as the primary instrument for her work. Here we discuss her filmmaking practice ranging from her first experiments to her current work-in-progress (a film about the poet Elizabeth Bishop) as well as some of Vivian's own favourite films. Information about her films as well as excerpts can be found at http://vivianostrovsky.com Two DVDs featuring her films are available from Re:Voir https://re-voir.com/shop/en/frederique-devaux-michel-armager-cineperimentaux/78-rousset-rey-ostrovsky-chodorov-cineperimentaux-1-4-.html and https://re-voir.com/shop/en/vivian-ostrovsky/1026-vivian-ostrovsky-plunge.html The latter of which is also available to stream from Re:Voir's video on demand page.
