Cut Ups: First Blood, Impure Film<h3>Pavle Levi, Stanford University</h3>21 March, 18:00 CETHYBRID EVENT at Annenstrasse 53, and online via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/93092893173This talk will call attention to some rich but rarely explored 1980s cinematic, theoretical, and cultural junctures. Revolving around the formal analysis and the peculiar production history of select machine-made experimental films, the presentation will intersect activity on the socialist Yugoslavia&#x27;s film-club scene, with major trends of Reaganite cinema in the United States. DIY structural-materialist film practice will be juxtaposed with big-budget commercial filmmaking. Politics of genre film criticism will be compared and contrasted with the aims of apparatus-based critique of ideology.Pavle Levi is Osgood Hooker Professor of Fine Arts at Art Department&#x27;s Film and Media Studies Program at Stanford University. Prof. Levi&#x27;s primary areas of research and teaching include history and theory of world cinema, East European film, aesthetics and ideology, experimental cinema, intersections of theory and practice. His published books include Cinema By Other Means (2012), Jolted Images (Unbound Analytic) (2017) and Disintegration in Frames (2007).
