Cellular Cinema is an organically evolving, ongoing screening series of experimental film, video and performance. As far as we know its the only regularly occurring event in Minneapolis or St. Paul that features short form, experimental contemporary moving image art.
The Cellular Cinema community is dedicated to the idea that moving image art can be a realm of exploration, improvisation and play on a small scale, using a wide range of tools, techniques and technologies, unbound by the commercial considerations of mainstream narrative media.
We have the capacity to screen work on 16mm, super-8, sometimes with multiple projectors, sometimes including live sound or performance accompaniment, as well as HD and SD video.
Beginning in October 2014, the Cellular Cinema community has welcomed guest curators from across the country and has featured work of numerous nationally renowned and local artists.
September: Cellular Cinema 16
For our almost-two-year anniversary, CC16 will feature work by Minnesota-based film and video artists on the theme of Measured Time.
The Greeks had two different words to describe time: Chronos and Kairos. Kairos is the immeasurable moment, the eternal present - whereas Chronos is quantifiable, clock-time, measurable in steadily accumulating increments.
During this cultural moment, we're very Kairos oriented - we love the idea of escaping from the passage of time, or controlling it - whereas Chronos, being "on the clock" and powerless over it seems to trouble us.
But, the Greeks recognized that both types of awareness were necessarily in balance, and that there is beauty in Chronos as well as Kairos. And, cinema has an essential Chronos orientation, whether it's 18, 24, or 30 frames per second.
Join us to contemplate and celebrate Chronos at the beginning of the school year, as the days start to get shorter and the earth begins its steady orbital glide away from the sun!
