The Focus on Timoteus Anggawan Kusno at International Film Festival Rotterdam
The International Film Festival Rotterdam, taking place from January 30 to February 5, 2025, will dedicate a focus to the Indonesian artist and filmmaker Timoteus Anggawan Kusno.
The program will feature five films, including the world premieres of Fever Dream and Unreleased as well as his recent film Tunggang Langgang.
Timoteus participated in the XII edition of VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images in 2023 and presented his film After Colossus (Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, 2024, 29′) at the XVII edition of Lo Schermo dell’arte. The film was co-produced by Lo Schermo dell’arte in collaboration with the Luigi Pecci Center for Contemporary Art, supported by the VISIO Production Fund 2023.
Congratulations, Timoteus!
Andro Eradze’s Film Flowering and Fading at MoMA PS1 in New York
Lo Schermo dell’Arte is pleased to announce that the film Flowering and Fading (Italy, 2024, 14’) by Andro Eradze, co-produced by Lo Schermo dell’Arte with Fondazione In Between Art Film and with the support of SpazioA Pistoia, will make its U.S. debut in the exhibition The Gatherers, that will take place at MoMA PS1 in New York, April – October 2025.
The film was created following Eradze’s participation in the 12th edition of VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images, during which the artist was awarded the VISIO Production Fund. Drawing on surrealism and magical realism, Flowering and Fading resonates with Eradze’s practice in revealing an alien sense of otherness through narratives introduced in the outskirts of human habitation.
Under 30 Audience Award of the 17th Edition of Lo Schermo dell'Arte
The winner of the Under 30 Audience Award is Among the Palms, the Bomb, or: Looking for Reflections in the Toxic Field of Plenty by Lukas Marxt and Vanja Smiljanic. They will receive the limited-edition artist’s book Detour (2023) realized by artist Elena Mazzi.
The film is available to watch until November 24 on Lo Schermo dell’Arte’s channel on MYmovies ONE.
The book VISIO Moving Images in Europe Since the 2010s has been released
Lo schermo dell’arte is pleased to announce the release of VISIO – Moving Images in Europe since the 2010s, a publication intended to contribute to the international debate on moving images by disseminating the results of over a decade of research and conversations.
Edited by Leonardo Bigazzi, the book brings together visions, experiences and critical interdisciplinary methodologies that have been instrumental in the development of the language of moving images since 2010. New essays and conversations reflect on radical technological and poetic transformations in the works of the generation of digital native artists, adhering to the shared processes developed during the first twelve editions of VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images, a research, production and residency project promoted and organized by Lo schermo dell’arte in Florence.
Available in bookstores, on online stores and on the Lenz Press e-shop.
