Petrohradská kolektiv will present a retrospective of films (16, 35mm) and a film installation by Mexican filmmaker Jorge Lorenzo.

On the 10th of August Petrohradská kolektiv will present a retrospective of films (16, 35mm) and a film installation by Mexican filmmaker Jorge Lorenzo.

Jorge Lorenzo is an experimental filmmaker from Monterrey, Mexico, whose work deals with the materiality of film, enhancing the physical and even bodily character of celluloid itself. By establishing a dialogue with canonic artworks or figures (not only) of experimental cinema, Lorenzo focuses on the formal characteristics of film to tackle its conceptual emplacements within different layers of our culture.

Lorenzo’s films have been screened at important experimental cinema venues such as the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), the Images Festival in Toronto, and the Experiments in Cinema festival in Albuquerque, among others. His piece 1/48” (2008) –which merely lasts one single frame out of the usual twenty four we see every second– captured the attention of some members of the international experimental cinema community like Alexander Horwath, Director of the Austria Filmmuseum in Vienna, who quoted it, “…the most subversive film of all times,” in the renowned film magazine, Cahiers du Cinéma."
