Hannes Schüpbach: Essais
Sunday November 5, 7:30pm at CounterPulse
Hannes Schüpbach in person
Stately and silent, the 16mm work of Swiss visual artist and filmmaker Hannes Schüpbach resonates with the work of kindred 16mm artists Nathaniel Dorsky, Ute Aurand, Robert Beavers and Gregory Markopoulos, evidencing a meticulous attention to craft while expressing a patient, meditative and loving sense of coexistence in a luminous, richly tactile world. Rarely screened in the US, Schüpbach appears in person (in his first Bay Area screening since 2006) to celebrate the publication of his latest book work, Essais: Conversations and Film Images and to present the film Essais (2020)--a lyrical dance film made in collaboration with dancer/choreographer Kira Blazek Ziaii--preceded by Schüpbach's Instants (2012), an impressionistic portrait of French writer Joël-Claude Meffre, filmed in the French countryside near Avignon. Discussion between Schüpbach, Cinematheque's Steve Polta and Clare Schweitzer of the San Francisco Dance Film Festival, on Essais' relationship to dance film, will follow the screening.
