Instant cinema

Instant Cinema is a comprehensive platform for experimental film, video and computer art, making the best audio-visual work of artists of all generations available to a worldwide audience.

For many years, experimental films and art films were almost exclusively screened in museums and at film festivals. Instant Cinema aims to compensate for half a century of under-exposure of film/video and computer art by exhibiting some of the great classics of recent history, side by side with the work of today’s most talented media artists.

Some of the short movies(briefly):
Cadavre Exquis

Through interviews and fragments, Cadavre exquis introduces five experimental filmmakers, thereby showing the different aspects of experimental cinema in the Netherlands. Sometimes it literally involves experiments. One of the makers, Gerard Holthuis, puts someone in a swimming pool with a wave generator and drenches her in water until her resistance breaks. That is the moment he wants to capture. Lonnie van Brummelens had to say goodbye to an plaster statue she had used in an earlier film. In extracts, we see how she drags the statue along behind her until it has completely decayed. Cadavre exquis is not an isolated project: the film was released in January, along with the book mm2 - Experimenteal Film in the Netherlands since 1960. Both works want to draw attention to the Dutch avant garde.

I Sprout

A woman returns to her parental home that she left when she was six. The cold winter turns to a summer filled with scent and memories; memories of a bicycle crash, a tree blown down and a crawl through the surrounding undergrowth. Inside the house everything is quiet and familiar - until someone starts screaming in terror.

Sally

Rolling marbles go where they will. Captured in a space in which gravity isn’t normal, the marbles roll along the walls and ceiling. Sally was commissioned by Cut-n-Paste for the project Grote Kunst voor Kleine Mensen [Big Art for Small People], October 2005.
