Space Material/Immaterial Place: Films by Jeremy Moss
Working in a number of intersecting and overlapping genresincluding dance film, speculative essay and rich alchemical, film emulsion-based abstractionthe film/video work of Pennsylvania-based filmmaker Jeremy Moss explores and interrogates bodies, identities and places shaped by rigid boundaries and porous peripheries. His films incorporate intricate and direct camera work that often emulates (only to subvert and deconstruct) such strict structures. A featured artist in Cinematheque's CROSSROADS festival in 2013 and '14, Moss appears in person to present a complete program (including local premieres) of his innovative body of work. THE BLUE RECORDmade with Erik Andersonis a harrowing meditation on ruin-gazing, panoptic oppression and the experience of destruction as an aesthetic pleasure. THE SIGHT and CICATRIX (both created at Ontario's famed Independent Imaging Retreataka "Film Farm") ooze, bubble and rip with emulsive creationist impulses, while THOSE INESCAPABLE SILVERS OF CELLULOID, an earlier contemplation of ideology and place, brings a prophet's omniscient and culpable gaze to a desolate desert landscape of detritus and destruction. This program also includes a trio of Moss' incredible dance filmsCHROMA, *(un)tethered* and THAT DIZZYING CREST, each made in collaboration with choreographer Pamela Vail. Colliding movement and place, fused with masterful filmic form, these works create immersive new realms for the moving figure and offer tantalizing contributions to this rich, if neglected, film genre.
