Duration: 28 Min
Director: Sun Xun
Artist: --
Story: The first ever Chinese animation to be shown at the Venice Film Festival, 21G is comprised of more than 10,000 black-and-white drawings that depict a haunting journey set against swarming mosquitoes, broken neoclassical statues, squawking ravens, steam-powered trains, and flooded graveyards. The title of the work references the American physician Dr Duncan MacDougall’s 1907 claim that the weight of a human soul equalled twenty-one grammes—the supposed weight lost by the body at the moment of death and the departure of the soul.
The Art of Time
Language: English, French, Russian(English Subtitle)
Category: --
Duration: 96 Min
Director: Fergus Daly, Katherine Waugh
Artist: --
Story: We are often told that ‘time’, as it was experienced historically, is being obliterated by the rapid tempo of our technology-obsessed contemporary society. This insightful documentary sets a different pace, exploring how leading international practitioners in video art, architecture, film, theatre, and philosophy are experimenting with new and radical notions of time. The Art of Time features interviews with Vito Acconci, Doug Aitken, Chantal Akerman, David Claerbout, Peter Eisenman, Stan Douglas, Sylvére Lotringer, the Quay Brothers, Alexander Sokurov, and Robert Wilson, among others.
