NOAM GONICK
Selection of Shorts & Excerpts - Directed and Presented by Noam Gonick

1919, 1997
8 mins, 35mm
Experimental short revisiting Winnipeg’s long-forgotten General Strike in 1919 from historic, narrative and aesthetic points of view. The industrial conflict in this once thriving ‘frontier town’ polarised bourgeois and socialist opinion.

Tinkertown, 1999
3 mins, 35mm
Murderous, carnivalesque experimental short.

Stryker (excerpt), 2004
Darkly humorous and politically charged feature investigating the dispossessed Winnipeg ‘North End’ indigenous gangs.

Hey Happy (excerpt), 2001
Gonick’s first feature, a post-apoplectic rave era parable of the Flood.

Wildflowers of Manitoba (excerpt), 2007
At once a film, performance and installation, Gonick and Jacob created ‘Wildflowers of Manitoba’ as both a utopian vision of an idealistic world and a model or vision of things to come. Shot ‘off-grid’ in Winnipeg and blurring fact and fiction they draw on historical references from the history of Gay and Lesbian Culture to the hippy and Radical Fairy movements to provide an insight into ‘other potential futures or possibilities’.

Noam Gonick was born in Winnipeg, Canada. He is a filmmaker and artist whose work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Venice Biennale, Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals and Anthology Film Archives. He is also a member for the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Feature films include Hey Happy (2001) and Stryker (2004) and have been distributed internationally. His recent collaboration with Louis Jacob Wildflowers of Manitoba (2007) has been exhibited internationally at the Montreal Biennial, Toronto & Berlin Film Festivals, the Tribeca Grand, New York and is part of the UBC Morris & Helen Belkin Art Gallery collection, Vancouver. Gonick’s current exhibition at Sketch, London No Safe Words runs until 22 August 2009.

Film-maker Alexander Kluge presents an evening of short films and lectures that culminates in an 83-minute screening of his epic 570-minute film News from Ideological Antiquity: Marx–Eisenstein–Das Kapital, based on the work of James Joyce and Sergei Eisenstein. Kluge, the chief ideologue of new German cinema, also writes on contemporary philosophy and social theory. His working methods are grounded in a rich and representative mosaic of sources: fiction, public records, essays, news, quotations, observations and free associations.

Berlin-based artist Keren Cytter screens her new film The Great Tale of The Devil's Hill and The Endless Search For Freedom (75min, Digital Video, 2008-2009). Cytter’s films are characterised by a non-linear and cyclical logic, her poetic montages of images recalling amateur home movies and video diaries. This distinctly analytical approach to film-making challenges the way in which the strategies and clichés of the media permeate our reality.

Giles Round and Mark Aerial Waller present an evening that uses Barbet Schroeder’s counter-cultural film More, 1969, as a framework for a psychedelic presentation of music, sculpture and performance. The London-based artists take influences from sources including Constructivism and the artist Jeff Koons, and they re-edit some of the film’s sequences, mixing them with footage from modernist abstract films.

Directed by Marco Ferreri
(1973, 130 mins, colour DVD)

Four world-weary middle-aged men decide to gorge themselves to death in one final, orgiastic weekend of sex and gourmet food. Described by The New York Times as ‘vulgar vaudeville on an epic scale... a mordant, chilling, hilarious, dirty movie’, Ferreri’s blackly-comic satire of modern consumer society provided actor Marcello Mastroianni with a perfect opportunity to send up his ‘Latin Lover’ persona.
