  • Ruines

    Sur l’autoroute 15, juste à l’extérieur de Montréal, se dresse un monument à la Révolution tranquille : les écrans en décomposition du Ciné Parc Laval, ouvert en 1971, l’année où les ciné-parcs ont marqué l’histoire du Québec. En 1947, sous la pression de l’Église catholique, les ciné-parcs sont interdits au Québec. C’était la tentative de l’Église de réglementer le sexe en dehors de la sphère domestique. À l’origine un drive-in à 2 salles de cinéma, le Ciné Parc Laval est rapidement devenu 4 écrans en raison de sa popularité. Ce film utilise des segments de Frissons (1975) de David Cronenberg…

    The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 75 years ago initiated The Cold War. 75 Years is a cinematic meditation on The Cold War and photography. 75 Years is comprised of surreal, evocative still photos put into motion and edited like cinematic footage.

Running In O&R started as a performance piece for Missing Associates, Dudar’s partnership with dancer/choreographer Lily Eng. This film was shot at the original location of the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC), the city’s ”largest and most avant-garde” international art gallery. In Running In O&R, the performers run laps around the gallery space, keeping in step and using their natural strides. Consequently they go in and out of phase visually, as other complexities emerge. The establishing wide shot…

  • Anything is Everything

    Anything is Everything is composed of sequences of disparate footage, but with threads to follow, a web on interconnections: circular shapes from outer and terrestrial space; animals and humans; words and ideas. Stuttering, flickering, blinks and blanks set bits of time and space next to each other – seeing connections from the traces. As with most of Sternberg’s films, Anything is Everything considers the questions: what is life, how do we perceive it, how as humans are we a part of the world?
