experimental film. Although he trained as a painter, by the mid-sixties
his interest in computers and particularly celluloid made it clear that
he would focus on other media and tools. Concerned with generating
experiences rather than concepts, his works often juxtapose visual and
sound loops, eschewing the traditional notion of narrative in favour of
immersion in an eminently chromatic, dreamlike world governed by a raw,
non-linear logic. “Ideas emerge from sensation from colour, image,
sound, movement, and time,” he says. Le Grice, who was fundamental to
founding the Coop Film workshop -together with David Curtis- and an
active member of the Coop in 1966, has also written theoretical texts
and worked in the field of education. He was one of the first filmmakers
to use multiple screens and to introduce experimental soundtracks to
enhance what he calls the awareness of presence. <br><br>In this podcast,
Malcolm Le Grice talks about his 1970 work "Berlin Horse", which is part
of the MACBA Collection and moves on to expanded cinema, materialist
structuralism, latency, suspense, and the representation of time in his
work.<br><br><b>Timeline</b><br><b>00:43</b> "Berlin Horse, 1970<br><b>03:39</b> Again, I had no plan<br><b>05:19</b> It wasn't a profecy, but...<br><b>06:33</b> And then Brian Eno asked me to do the soundtrack<br><b>09:23</b> Structuralism: a bad description<br><b>14:18</b> I'm not so interested in ideas<br><b>15:01</b> Something in there that is latent<br><b>16:18</b> A process that is not driven by a script or an idea<br><b>17:31</b> Expanded cinema<br>19:36 The presenceness and the spatial aspect<br><b>20:39</b> Narrative makes it all far too simple<br><b>22:02</b> It's happening now<br><b>24:04</b> Influences<br><b>26:17</b> Oppositional cinema<br><b>28:01</b> Politics of perception<br><b>29:00</b> The London Filmakers Co-op Workshop<br><b>33:45</b> Now you've got YouTube<br><b>34:23</b> A general literacy<br><b>36:27</b> A massively different context<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,255)">Enjoy!</span><br></span></div></div>
