CinemaAttic is delighted to offer a programme of analogue films. We will progressively add “real film” screenings to our programme and we thought the best way to do so would be with a couple of massive classics from different eras of film. The titles we have chosen to begin with are LA JETÉE by Chris Marker and UN CHIEN ANDALOU by Luis Buñuel, and both films will be screened in the glorious 16mm format.Both films are joined by that desire to tell histories in a different way. The experimental spirit is present in both of them but with differences. While LA JETÉE has a clear linear narrative, there is no way to make sense of two consecutive scenes in Buñuel's iconic title. This could be blamed on Salvador Dalí’s participation: by his confession, he based it all on his dreams.
For the Edinburgh screening, we are partnering with Lydia Beilby, who will run the projection and offer a gramophone DJ set.
Lydia Beilby is an artist, curator and educator whose practice focuses on analogue film media, public programming, collaborative community projects, and educational work with groups of all ages.
Working with 8mm and 16mm photochemical film, and archival ephemera, Lydia has a particular interest in the tactility and physicality of the analogue medium, and these qualities are foregrounded within her own working methodologies. Lydia's practice explores the camera apparatus and projection medium as both a performative process, and an extension of the body, and this way of working centralises hand-made, artisanal, co-operative and environmentally sustainable approaches.
