June 14, 2014/in Spring 2014_'Traces'

by Jasper Aalbers Introduction To say that sound has long been a neglected subject in film studies has become something of a commonplace – yet this is no longer true.

Animated maps and the power of the trace

June 14, 2014/in Spring 2014_'Traces'

The beauty of the act: Figuring film and the delirious baroque in ‘Holy Motors’

June 14, 2014/in Spring 2014_'Traces'

by Saige Walton To the intuition of an unstable and moving world, of a multiple and inconstant life, hesitating between being and seeming, fond of disguise and of theatrical representation, there correspond, on the expressive and structural level, a rhetoric of metaphor and trompe l’oeil, a poetics of surprise and variousness, and a style of […]

Assembling traces, or the conservation of net art

June 13, 2014/in Spring 2014_'Traces'

by Annet Dekker Net art is built and distributed through a complex, intricate, and interrelated system of networks that presents an assemblage of art, technology, politics, and social relations – all merged and related to form a variable entity. In the last decade a discussion on how to conserve net art emerged in museums of […]

June 13, 2014/in Spring 2014_'Traces'

by Paula Albuquerque [T]he likelihood of being captured by the relentless mechanical eyes of the surveillance cameras, webcams and all sorts of portable camera devices has arguably turned our whole world cinematic, a condition that now exists prior to and regardless of any actual intervention of recording and display.[1] In my work as an experimental […]

Poetics and politics of the trace: Notes on surveillance practices through Harun Farocki’s work

June 13, 2014/in Spring 2014_'Traces'

by Miriam De Rosa Found footage and archive images, split-screen or a multiplication of the image on screen, a replacement of the original soundtrack with commentary, a detached voice-over alternating long/silent sequences, an explanatory use of info-graphics and tracking technologies. These elements feature in Harun Farocki’s work on surveillance – work ranging from documentary films […]

June 13, 2014/in Spring 2014_'Traces'

Celebrating independence: 54th Thessaloniki International Film Festival

June 13, 2014/in Festival Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2014_'Traces'

In its fourth year under the leadership of Dimitris Eipides the 54th Thessaloniki International Film Festival (TIFF) affirmed its vision as a festival of independent cinema: (relatively) low-budget, (often) politically motivated, (at times) formally experimental films from around the world were showcased and celebrated.

June 13, 2014/in Book Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2014_'Traces'

As its title makes clear, Europe and Love in Cinema, edited by Luisa Passerini, Jo Labanyi, and Karen Diehl (Bristol: Intellect, 2012), offers an intriguing and provocative encounter between three concepts – ‘Europe’, ‘love’ and ‘cinema’ – which may not initially seem to have that much in common, at least in the field of film […]
