The 2nd Winnipeg Underground Film Festival

The Turning Of The Year (2013) Rich Fedorchack

La segunda edición del Winnipeg Underground Film Festival se celebra en Manitoba (Canadá) entre los días 27 y 29 de junio. El colectivo Open City Cinema es el responsable de una muestra de videocreación y cine experimental que este año presenta decenas de títulos recientes distribuidas en sesiones elaboradas bajo ejes temáticos. Un programa de piezas de minuto y medio titulado 90 Seconds, una performance en directo –en formato de 16mm– por parte del artista norteamericano Michael A. Morris, una actuación con visuales del música de hip-hop Rob Crooks y una sesión dedicada a dos películas de Mike Hoolboom, son algunas de las proyecciones de un festival caracterizado por la acumulación de películas y vídeos actuales realizados por nombres de la escena experimental actual como Stephen Broomer, Tomonari Nishikawa, Jesse McLean, Clint Enns, Sean Hanley, Alexei Dimitriev, Christine Lucy Latimer, Karrissa Hahn, LJ Frezza o Gerard Freixes. "14 x 14" estará presente en el programa Systems Broken.
