Itinerant Movies
The new programme Itinerant Movies #3 starts in June at KINO Rotterdam.
The intention is to show only films shot entirely in a single vehicle. With their deliberate visual restriction, the narrative of single-set films depends on the tension between the inside (vehicle) and the outside space (landscape).
These films transport the spectator from place to place, albeit with a clear spatial reference, that is the vehicle. Sailing in the Atlantic Ocean on a fishing vessel, moving across New York in a limousine or flying over the Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty in helicopter channels the perception of the landscape in a linear way: what is left behind is the known territory, what lies ahead is the unknown. Through this process the space is revealed to the spectator gradually, building up his/her own memories, associations, expectations, creating their own mental map.
Event starts at 21:15
