The Hollow Mountain by Douglas Skelton (Rebecca Connolly #6) @DouglasSkelton1 @PolygonBooks

Skelton has delivered a shocking, brutal and yet gloriously well-written book which speaks to human nature and the pursuit of justice in a flawed and dangerous world.

Ariel Kirk-Gushowaty, Zoe Kirk-Gushowaty and Alex MacKenzie at OBERHAUSEN FILM FESTIVAL

Iris Film Collective is excited to announce that works by members Ariel Kirk-Gushowaty, Zoe Kirk-Gushowaty and Alex MacKenzie will be featured at this year’s Oberhausen Short Film Festival in Germany.

Ariel Kirk-Gushowaty’s film “Flood” will be presented in the Labs Series of the festival, devoted to works from the Artist Run Film Labs around the globe.

Flood was shot on Orwo 16mm print stock and processed in caffenol as part of a workshop leading to the creation of a collective group of works on the theme “End of the World”, with a soundtrack by prOphecy Sun.

Zoe Kirk-Gushowaty’s “Dreams of Gold” is a part of the Distributor Showcase for CFMDC and Vtape. Based on text from a gold miner's journal, Dreams of Gold reveals his dreams and hallucinations while exploring the image of the mind as rooms in a house.

Alex MacKenzie’s 35mm handcranked performance “the hollow mountain” will premiere in the festival’s Celluloid Expanded as part of a series of live performances with and around analogue film, curated by Erin Weisgerber and featuring a total of six artists from Canada including Mackenzie along with John Price, Karl Lemieux with BJ Nilsen, Heidi Phillips/Ian Campbell and ECU’s own Lindsay McIntyre.

“the hollow mountain” is a landscape film performance of topography, contours, and nature in abstraction. The work was filmed with a 35mm handcranked camera and numerous non-camera techniques on outdated black and white film stock, with all processing done by hand. Presented on a modified 35mm handcranked 1920-era projector in concert with a variety of lens interference techniques, this pulsing and dimensional imagery is manifest live.

The Festival is online April 30 to May 3, and in Oberhausen from May 4 to 9.

ALEX MACKENZIE Work In Progress THE  HOLLOW MOUNTAIN

Open House February 16, 4-6pm Window Screening February 20, 6-7pm Burrard View Fieldhouse 545 N Slocan Street

For the fourth month of our WORKS IN PROGRESS series, Iris Film Collective member Alex MacKenzie will be continuing work on his long form expanded cinema performance THE HOLLOW MOUNTAIN, a landscape film of topography, contours, and nature in abstraction. A disassembled 35mm film viewer is modified to manually project, creating an arresting arrhythmic flicker colourfield further transformed through lens interference. This work was created on a 35mm handcranked camera as well as by using a number of non-camera techniques, with all processing and printing done by hand.

This month of processing and exploring the shape of the work will result in a completed performance to premiere later this year.

On Sunday February 16 from 4 to 6pm, Alex will feature an Open House where the public is welcome to have a look at the work he is doing at the Fieldhouse, while on Thursday February 20 from 6-7pm some of these materials will be projected on the exterior window of the Fieldhouse for passers-by to view at leisure.

Iris Film Collective’s WORK IN PROGRESS series is a month-long residency at the Burrard View Fieldhouse featuring a different Iris Film Collective member each month who will be using the space to work on their individual projects. The public is invited to pop by while they are working; as well, some days/evenings in the month are devoted to public events. This is a great opportunity to meet the artists and see what they are up to, as well as to visit the Fieldhouse and check out our setup! Alex MacKenzie is a Vancouver-based media artist working primarily with analog film equipment and hand processed imagery. He creates works of expanded cinema, light projection installation, and projector performance. His work has screened at festivals, underground venues and art spaces worldwide. www.alexmackenzie.ca
