experimental retrospective in Barcelona

The best known camera-less productions of Steven Woloshen share the verve and pace of the freer works of Norman McLaren and the joie de vivre of Robert Breer’s films. Colour, graphics and music take the lead in films that regale the eyes and the ears. But there is another interesting facet to the Canadian filmmaker, less known and more mature and, if possible, even more original, using found footage and formalistic mechanisms reminiscent of structural and materialist cinema, such as his latest film, The Dead Sea Scrolls. This programme offers a range of his work that illustrates the talent and the contributions of one of the most celebrated contemporary experimental animators.

The selection has been put together by the filmmaker himself and Carolina López, director of Xcèntric, the CCCB’s cinema, and a specialist in animation.
