WVLNT – WAVELENGTH For Those Who Don’t Have the Time : Originally 45 minutes, now 15 !
Michael Snow
Présenté uniquement en salle
En 1967, Michael Snow réalise Wavelength, un film qui, dès sa sortie, attire l’attention du public et des critiques de cinéma par sa forme, sa bande sonore et la traversée d’un espace dans la durée, désormais un classique du cinéma d’avant-garde. Trente-six ans plus tard, Snow élabore une nouvelle œuvre, utilisant le matériau d’origine qu’il numérise, et propose des simultanéités plutôt que les progressions séquentielles de l’œuvre originale. En d’autres mots, WVLNT est composé de trois superpositions inchangées du son et de l’image, offrant ainsi une toute nouvelle expérience visuelle et sonore.
Ce film fait partie du programme FOCUS MICHAEL SNOW de la section FIFA EXPÉRIMENTAL.

Michael Snow worked in many mediums : film, photo-work, holographic work, music, bookworks, video and sound installation, sculpture, painting, drawing. His visual artworks are broadly collected and have been exhibited worldwide, including solo exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), The Hara Museum (Tokyo), The Museum of Modern Art (New York) and Centre Pompidou (Paris). His films have been shown extensively in festivals (London, New York, Rotterdam, Berlin) and are in such collections as the Oesterreichisches filmmuseum (Vienna) and Royal Belgian Film Archives (Brussels).
Snow was also a professional musician since the 1950s, and for thirty years focusing on free improvisation, with concerts in Canada, USA, Europe, Japan — usually with Toronto-based CCMC — and many recordings. Snow’s solo releases include compositions using multi-track studio recordings (The Last LP,1987, re-released as The Last LP CD, 1994) among others.
His work includes digital works such as the film *Corpus Callosum (2001) and interactive DVD ROM Anarchive 2‑Digital Snow (2002), an encyclopedia of Snow’s work in all mediums.
Snow considers his work “sensuous philosophy”. He asks, “What essential aspects of a medium distinguish it from other mediums?” The materials of cinema, for example, are light and duration, not movement or narrative.
He passed away on January 5, 2023.
