Portrait of the ventriloquist filmmaker

Description

Comment or explain the films themselves. Write a counter-history of cinema. Studying the virtual relationships between unfinished films and abandoned projects. Explore the power of utopias. Studying cinema as a phantom art. Think of time as a reserve capable of being updated. Give lectures that take the place of the film. Make a film through words or collage.

These are some of the questions that cross the writings of filmmaker and theorist Érik Bullot.
On the occasion of his Cinema paper exhibition at the Filmoteca de Catalunya, accompanied by the publication of a new essay from the Apunts de cinema series, the author will reflect on his own writing practice evoking the different contexts of publication (magazines, conferences, essays, teaching), the use of different languages, the concept of paper film, the splitting of cinema through writing and words.

Has the filmmaker become his own ventriloquist?

This session is the closing session of the Aula Xcèntric 2023: Writing cinema II*. People registered for the course have free entry.
