The three-day programme This Is Not (a) Cinema will run from September 27 to September 29 at the Whitechapel Gallery Zilkha Auditorium, Artduide reports.
The programme features rare late-Soviet experimental films by Alexander Shein’s studio SovPoliKadr and Vladimir Kobrin studio CentrNauchFilm.
The programme opens with a live intervention by London-based artists Broomberg & Chanarin, with a live score by pianist Peter Broderick and in colaboration with the London-based The Workers studio. Their work will be based on Dziga Vertov’s film Anniversary of the Revolution.
In their new work Anniversary of a Revolution (Parsed), artists Adam Broomberg (South Africa) and Oliver Chanarin (UK) use machine vision technology and new surveillance tools to rethink the archive footage.
Discussions involving V-A-C Foundation Artistic Director, Francesco Manacorda, curator Kirill Adibekov, lecturer at the University of Roehampton William Brown, art theorist and philosoher Keti Chukhrov, cultural editor of Tribune Owen Hatherley will be held part of the This Is Not (a) Cinema programme.
The programme will be introduced via a reading room containing original posters and imagery from the SovPoliKadr studio and literature connected to the themes explored in the project.
