  • David Perlov

    David Perlov (born on June 9th 1930 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and died on December 13th 2003 in Tel Aviv, Israel) was a filmmaker, writer and Israeli cinematograph. He is considered to be the founder of Israeli cinema and has received international recognition for his cinematographic essays and especially his film diary.

    He spent his early childhood in Belo Horizonte, then, at the age of ten, he moved to Sao Paulo.

    He made a film in Paris in 1957, entitled 'Chinese Aunt' which lasts 17 minutes. In this film, Perlov incorporates caustic drawings of the provincial bourgeoisie of a twelve year old girl from 1890.

    A year later, in 1958, he emigrated to Israel and made the 33-minute documentary essay 'A Jerusalem', one of the key films in the history of Israeli cinema.

    Following the completion of two academic dramas, his new projects were refused by the ideological bureaucracy. As a result, he started using the 16mm which he used to make a film divided into six parts, 'Yoman / Journal'.

  • Yann Paranthoën

    Yann Paranthoën was born in 1935 in Brittany, France, and died in 2005. This artist, being a stonecutter's son, is often called in french "tailleur de sons", or the "soundcutter". Yann Paranthoën listened to the radio for the first time during the nazi occupation, it was Radio Londres, Radio London in fench. The radio, it was his destiny. First, he became a radio operator in the French navy, later he worked for more over than thirty years in the "civilian" radio. In the RTF, later in France Inter and France Culture, he is sound operator, editor and, last but not least, emission author (from Oreille en coin to Papous dans la tête). His production counts about a hundred of titles, among those some milestones of history of radiophonic documentary, for example: Questionnaire pour Lesconil (1980), On Nagra (1987). He has also created his own documentaries.

    Yann Paranthoën? His name symbolizes the art radio (as they say cinema or art photography). He discovered a way to tell the world through sound, inventing a language and totally renewing the basics of radio broadcasting. In its broadcasts, speech is a material carving, as well as the life of sounds or silences. Similarly, for him, the voice is primarily a music before being meaningful. In both written desecrating the image, he changed the order of things and renewed our relationship with reality. Distancing himself from the "everyday radio," he readily compared his job to paint or to the size of granite as practiced his father extract of reality sound block, mount it as the stone size , as we polish the mix. Here is how he spoke: "I compare the radio with paint. For me, radio has more to do with the visual arts. I make a painting ... a sound picture, I divided the sounds as colors. "
    His death in 2005 was seen as symbolically stating the fading of some form of "creation radio" in its most demanding form. That is why it was urgent to honor him, so that his work continue its route to new listeners, confirming them to prefer the conventional radio, the sovereign liberty of sound art.

  • Valérie Pavia

    Valérie Pavia is a very active artist for a dozen of years in the international fine arts scene. She has been constantly and with maturity working in the field of video, photography, painting and writing. What we notice the most of her work, it's portraits: the ones of herself, of the others and also these of wandered cities. The mixture of reality, fiction and autobiography seems to equilibrate candor and naivity. To examine some of her works more closely, a certain cruelty comes out to confront the viewer on more intimate subjects, and which reveals an uncommon sensibility and lucidity.

  • Jacques Perconte

    Jacques Perconte is a French Filmmaker and new media artist born 1974 and living in Paris.  Since 1999 his films and new media projects explore the digital medium.

    Born in 1974 in Grenoble (France), Jacques Perconte lives and works in Paris. He is well known as one of the pioneers of French internet art.  He is among the first artists to have worked on compression codecs.[5] Jacques made his debuts with internet and video art.

    Even though his works become less and less theoretical, the relation between form and substance remains crucial. Jacques Perconte works on the forms of fiction on various medias as well as a formal research, focused on the body and the landscape.

    Jacques Perconte apparently has a good knowledge of his technology, which serves him when dealing with frame and color. He tries to transform digital technology into a new media, which can be esthetically as rich as any other classical art.

  • David Perry

    David Perry (born in 1933 in Sydney, Australia) is an Australian photographer and filmmaker. Along with Albie Thomas, Aggy Read and others, he helped establish Ubu Films, named after Alfred Jarry’s play Ubu Roi, in 1965, which served as a precursor to the Sydney Filmmaker Co-operative: Australia’s first consciously avant garde filmmaking group.

    A few of his 16 mm experimentals films include: ‘Walking’ (1955), ‘The Tribulations of Mr. Dupont Nomore’ (1967), ‘Bolero’ (1967), ‘A Sketch of Abigayl’s Belly’ (1968), ‘David Perry’s Album’ (1970), ‘Adam’ (1975), ‘Ubu Films’ (1965-1970) and ‘Refracting Glasses’ (1992).

    Perry utilizes various formats in order to portray his ease and pleasure from moving from one media to the next, while inventing a new aesthetic expression. Similarly to other moving image artists, he worked as a painter, photographer and developed his technical understanding of photography as a printer.

    Alongside other experimental filmmakers, he focused on an anti-art discourse and pursued his interest with national narrative cinema. In the early 1950s, he began experimenting with 8mm and stood out as being one of the first self-consciously artistic filmmaker in the nation. Despite his influence as a filmmaker, he quickly came to the realization that his work was a waste of time seeing that a filmmaker’s only duty was to make entertainment films which told banal stories, stripped of originality.  

    Perry draws his inspiration from filmmakers, such as: D.W. Griffith, Carl Theodor Dryer…

  • Henri Plaat

    The versatile Dutch artist, photographer and film maker Henri Plaat traveled a lot. Born in Amsterdam in 1936, he was fascinated by history and ancient writings. Plaat wanted to become an archeologist. He visited Greece, the Middle-East, India and Latin America, where remains of ‘places of history’, fascinated him. In 1966, Plaat got an Eumig camera and he started making short films, what became "exploded hobby". He filmed such locations and, like in his drawings and paintings, fantasy and reality supplemented each other in 8mm and 16mm footage. He describes them as "atmospheric movies, often photomontages with mixes of war sounds, airplane rumble, Zarah Leander's voice, Wagner's music... All fragments, leading to amazing effects."

    Plaat made some forty different films full of fragments of reality, sometimes absurd, surreal or melancholic. He has a fascination for WW2, travelling, film music and the slow decay of things. "I want to register places and things before it gets destroyed by modernity and progression. Before it is lost forever."

  • Suzan Pitt

    A promenade through the oeuvre of animator Suzan Pitt is like taking part in a bohemian cavalcade disguised as a dollhouse, awash with luminous colors and energetic imagery, while grinding atonal music from a Holly Hobbie record player. She’s a balls-to-the-wall art school darling; unassuming, yet filled to the brim with edifying duplicity. Pitt inspires one to glean from life what one gleans from her art. (Alfred Eaker)

  • Sarah Pucill

    Sarah Pucill’s films and photographs explore a sense of self, which is transformative and fluid. At the core of her practice is a concern with mortality and the materiality of the filmmaking process. The majority of her films take place within the confinements of domestic space, where the grounded reality of the house itself becomes a portal to a complex and multi layered psychical realm. In her explorations of the animate and inanimate, her work probes a journey between mirror and surface, in which questions of representation are negotiated via the feminine, the queer or the dead.

    Her films have been screened at major international film festivals including: London Film Festival, Oberhausen Short Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Osnabruck Media Arts Festival, Berlin International Film Festival and Montreal Festival of New Cinema. Television broadcasts include: BSB TV Australia (Mirrored Measure, 1996; bought by BSB), Carlton Television (Backcomb, 95; funded by Carlton), Granada TV (You Be Mother, 1990).

    Sarah Pucill lives and works in London and is a Reader at University of Westminster since 2000. Her work is distributed through leading international distributors including LUX, The British Film Institute (BFI), New York Filmmakers Co-op, Canyon Cinema, and Light Cone Paris.

Quay brothers continue to live and work in the british capital, there they, with their film producer Keith Griffiths, founded Koninck Studios. Under this label appear all their movies. The masterpiece Street of Crocodiles (1986) became a classic of animation genre. The most of their films have few dialogues, they depend highly on the music. Numerous pieces of music for their films have been written by the Polish composer Jeszek Jankowski. The brothers Quay have also worked on various projects, like, for example, theatre decorations, opera productions directed by Richard Jones (Prokofiev's The Love of Three Oranges, Feydeau's A Flea in her Ear, Tchaikovsky's Mazeppa or Moliere's The Middle Class Gentleman), in the television (MTV), in advertising (Nikon, Coca-Cola) or in music (music video for Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer). They're like in the middle of the abyss which separates the commercial cinema from the so called experimental cinema. Nevertheless, the brothers live hard from their art. In 1995, the Quay directed a full length film Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life. Terry Gilliam, the british film director, screenwriter, comedian and member of the Monthy Pyton, considers it "visually the most beautiful film, the most bewitching and the most hilarious seen in the last three hundred years", and confesses: "I'm very jealous".

  • Joost Rekveld

    Joost Rekveld (1970) is a Dutch artist and experimental filmmaker. Since 1991 he has been making abstract films and light installations. In his early days he worked intensively with the medium of film, experimenting with all aspects of the process from printing, to manipulating, to developing the images himself. In 1994 he was already using a computer to make an animation film by writing his own software; a practice he returned to later on in his career.

    His works display an intimate and embodied understanding of our technological world. They are deeply inspired by science and technology and the systematic dialogue between man and machine. By exploring the various spatial and sensorial aspects of light projection his works intrinsically relate to the early history of optics and perspective and, in many ways, can be understood as a type of visual music. His animated films are often mechanical compositions whereby the computer acts as a controller, orchestrating the precise movement of each optical element of the film-work or installation.

  • Ron Rice

    Ron Rice was born in New York, NY in 1935. Rice was a drifter who dropped out of high school and by nature was very restless. This restlessness is how he initially made his way into film. Rice got his start by buying an 8mm Camera to record bicycle races in San Francisco. It was in San Francisco that he met Taylor Mead, which in turn led him to the production of his first film The Flower Thief (Arthouse Inc).

    The Flower Thief was finished in 1960 with the help of Taylor mead the offbeat hero the San Francisco and New York Beats (Sitney, 300). After the Success of The Flower Thief, Rice toyed with the idea of making some films right after the Flower Thief. Rice Started a film called The Dancing Master and another untitled film with his friend Jerry Joften, but lost interest in the films during their production (Sitney, 301). Rice made Senseless and that came out later that same year of 1962. Senseless came out of a film that he planned to make at Eric Nord's island. Rice knew Nord from The Flower Thief and He knew that Nord purchased an island from the Mexican government with the intent of making that island a Utopia. Unfortunately Nord forgot to find out if there was water on the island so when Rice arrived on the island to shoot his film, Nord and his crew realized the mistake they had made and had already cleared off the island (Sitney, 301). The only thing Ron Rice had left from his trip was some footage that he took on his way to the island to meet Nord (Sitney, 301).

    When Rice got back from the trip and arrived in NewYork, he pooled together his research and the various episodes he had recorded. He divised a potpourri from what he recorded in Mexico and what he had on file and realized that the film would have no plot nor a continuity of a single mediator. Despite the incredible irony, the creation Senseless was completed in 1962. Rice gave credit to Jonas Mekas for the creation of Senseless, but ironically Senseless is thought of as Rice's most carefully organized formal film (Sitney, 301).

    After Rice finished Senseless he bought together Taylor Mead and Winifred Bryan, to make a new film called The Queen of Sheba Meets the Atom Man (Sitney, 302). Rice made rough-cuts of the idea to try to raise money for the film. The two scenes that were made were on Hamlet and Greg Markopoulos' Twice a Man. Rice got the funding that he was looking for and the intercutting and combination of characters brought by the Queen of Sheba Meets the Atom Man was a step closer to the synthetic process of the mythic film. Rice never finished the film; Mead finished it in 1982 (Sitney, 302).

    Rice went on to another project called Chumlum. Chumlum was developed from the inspiration that Rice found on the occasions when he would assist Jack Smith with his productions. One production that specifically aided the inspiration that Rice would feel was Smith's film Normal Love. While they were filming each production Rice would go back to Smith's apartment, with the cast and crew and observe what everyone would do. He used these ideas to create Chumlum with the fragmenting of events and use of superimposition. The film was completed in 1964. Sadly at the end of that year he died of pneumonia while he was in Mexico. Rice's resume comes to six films and shows a great mind for film. He was truly an artistic genius who died too young.

  • Nicolas Rey

The third film The Soviets More Electricity, directed in 2001, which is Super-8 swelled to 16mm and his first full length feature (170 min.) and there he retraces his father communist, Nicolas Rey shot in colour. According to Christa Blümlinger, cinema and contemporary art critic, Rey "renews thus the artistic and artisanal traditions of cinema, finding in ancient technics and materials the opportunity of a plastic renewal, this film finds itself making a kind of reconciliation of the two avant-gardes, separated for a long time and ignoring each other mutually: the one of the experimental cinema, originated in fine arts environment and coming from New York, and the other which shaped itself in Europe, as a result of post-war modernist cinema, which we could call essayist." Then Nicolas Rey was interested by the economic decline of the industry and showed Schuss! (2005), set in the Alps. His last movie Differently, Molussia (2012), from adapted Günter Anders' tales about fascism, has been paid attention severel times: it was selectioned in the Berlinale (Forum Expanded), it took the Grand Prix in the festival Cinema of the Real in Paris, it entered in competition in Brussels for the Prix de l'Âge d'or (Golden Age Prize).

  • Peter Rose

    Since 1968 Peter Rose has made over thirty films, tapes, performances and installations.

He subsequently became interested in language as a subject and in video as a medium and generated a substantial body of work that played with the feel and form of sense, concrete texts, political satire, oddball performance, and a kind of intellectual comedy. Recent video  installations have involved a return to an examination of landscape, time, and vision.

He soon became interested in cinema and the innovative techniques that enabled him to film subjects that were often very small. Between 1925 and 1986, he made over 200 films, most of them devoted to underwater fauna. The filmmaker brought a poetic dimension to a genre usually shunned by cinephiles, and scored his greatest public success with "L'Hippocampe" in 1933. When war broke out, he suspended all cinematic activity to join the Resistance. His film "Le Vampire" (1945) is an allegory of Nazism through a zoological document about a South American bat. The soundtracks ( jazz and musique concrète) and commentary contribute to the lyricism of his films. To produce and distribute his films, Jean Painlevé manages and directs "Les Documents Cinématographiques" and "L'Institut de Cinématographie Scientifique".
