Found Footage Magazine – Número #5

La revista impresa Found Footage Magazine ha anunciado recientemente los contenidos que forman parte de su quinto número. Este nuevo volumen consta de un dossier especial dedicado a exponer las problemáticas establecidas entre el cine de found footage y el pornográfico. La pregunta de la editorial que vehicula los razonamientos de los artículos, las entrevistas y las reseñas interroga si el metraje filmado "puede informar de una arqueología de la pornografía que explique las dimensiones institucionales, materiales, tecnológicas y sociales que forman parte de su propio archivo". El cine de Peggy Ahwesh, Bruce Conner, Alexei Dmitriev se analiza en este primer bloque. Ensayos sobre Ken Jacobs y Thom Andersen; conversaciones con Johann Lurf, Péter Lichter y Bori Máté; una reseña del último libro de Catherine Russell, otra dedicada a una publicación sobre Paolo Gioli; y un conjunto de collages de artistas internacionales como los renombrados Guy Maddin y Douglas Gordon son algunos de los principales reclamos de esta revista especializada en debatir el cine de found footage desde sus múltiples vertientes.
