Hosted by WHS Teatteri Union
PROJECTION BIAS(ing) will take us on a journey within the Live Cinema genre of moving image creation, the artists performing use the actual medium of film to create their performances, they use analogue 35mm and 16mm film projectors to project, loop, transform the celluloid medium. Live Cinema practices and its origins lie in the medium of film and it is constantly expanding its boundaries.
Historically, Cinema is a term bound to linear narrative, cause and
effect, frontal projection, passive voyeurism disregarding individual’s background or gender…Live is a word signifying present, real, factual, the simultaneous creation of image and sound on the spot and all the inherent risk in improvisation. Live Cinema is a term of contradiction which will be celebrated at WHS on 29th September, 2017.
