After a two
year break AVANT reopens with a program on amateur film. The program takes
place on October 23 & 24
in Karlstad,
Sweden.
A
substantial part of the program consists of a retrospective with films by
full-time
industrial worker Sven Elfström. Elfström made experimental shorts,
political
documentaries and fiction films in his spare time.
The
veterans from Vienna,
Lisl Ponger and Tim Sharp, and the Finnish filmmaker Sami van Ingen exhibit
work that they have made from amateur footage; revealing hidden histories
and
forgotten fantasies.
AVANT09:
AVANT goes AMATEUR is a collaboration between the Värmland Region’s
Centres for
Film and Dance, Broby Grafiska, The Museum of Contemporary Art in
Kristinehamn,
Film Studies at Karlstad
University and the
Filmform foundation.
The event
is free of charge but booking is mandatory:
