این فیلم نیست [This Is Not a Film] (Jafar Panahi, Mojtaba Mirtahmasb – 2011)

,

❝ I want you to put yourself in my shoes as a filmmaker who can’t do anything else but make films, and doesn’t want to do anything else. How much time do I have left? Do I have twenty years left to live? I cannot stay idle. I know this is what they want. They let me out of a small prison and released me to a much larger one. When I was in a small prison I knew there was nothing I could do there. Every movement was being watched. […] Now that I am so-called ‘free’, but in reality in a larger prison, I have to do something and cannot stay idle and let my life be wasted. ❞

Iranian Judiciary Says Filmmaker Panahi Must Serve Six-Year Sentence For Supporting Protests

Terrible and shameful. Any country should be proud to have a master and artist like Jafar Panahi within its borders. If you’re not familiar, pick one + watch → bit.ly/3PlIXWv

❝ The 1966 short The Cut-Ups is probably Burrough’s best-known foray into experimental film, which he made with filmmaker and renowned smut/horror distributor Antony Balch. The film features random, repetitive shots of Burroughs in New York, London and Tangiers spliced together in precise lengths but with little regard for the content of the image. The audio is a cut-up conversation with the words “Yes” and “Hello,” getting looped over and over and over again. ❞ *

Jinah Roh Mater Ex Machina, 2019

‘Mater Ex Machina is a robot that learns human expressions through machine learning to embody the relationship between man and technology. Jinah Roh, an interactive media artist, used traditional sculpting techniques to create the face of the robot modelled on her own mother. The humanoid learns the audience’s facial expressions, accumulates data, and imitates these gestures to visitors. These behaviors of the bot convey an emotional warmth and empathy, expanding the potential relationship with humans.’ *

Switching In and Out of Consciousness by Gemini Revolution

Gemini Revolution Switching In and Out of Consciousness (8D Industries)

❝ Gemini Revolution have concocted a music of patience. Warm synthesized washes accompany sprinkles of guitar, minimized percussion, and a slight ominosity. Like a sprawling vine or a leafy forest path, Switching in and Out of Consciousness develops over time, leading the listener to rewards of discovery. Over six song-scapes, melodies appear and dissipate, moods and intentions take hold, and the promise of those starlit mountain nights feels real. As Gemini Revolution, Dedric and Delaney conjure steadiness — a sonic escape from engulfing quickness. ❞
