OVNI: A Legacy of Contemporary Culture
La Vorágine, located at the Santander headquarters of the Filmoteca de Cantabria, is showcasing a unique programming of video creations that are part of the OVNI archive. This event will feature notable figures such as Gabriel Villota, a PhD in Audiovisual Communication and professor at the University of the Basque Country, alongside Rosa Llop and Simona Malatesta, esteemed colleagues from OVNI. Established in 1994, the OVNI (Observatorio de Vídeo No Identificado) has served as a crucial research project focusing on the analysis and critique of contemporary culture. This initiative is characterized by its reliance on video as a medium, emphasizing works created by video authors rather than curators or managers. OVNI stands out as an author-driven project that prioritizes the creative practice of independent videographic expression. Over three decades, it has chronicled significant shifts in society, including the rise of the internet, the transition from analog to digital formats, and the profound transformations within the political and spiritual realms of culture. Importantly, all these developments have been meticulously documented within the Archives of the Observatory, established in 1999.
The film screenings, including various compelling titles, will captivate audiences with their artistic narratives and thematic depth. Notable entries include:
- The Language of Birds by Toni Serra, exploring the intersections of spirituality and nature.
- Perro Corazón, featuring poignant conversations in a Tangier bar, blending stories of friendship and loss.
- 7 Contemplations, offering a meditative experience through visual storytelling.
Visitors are encouraged to attend this free event, which promises to enrich their understanding of contemporary video art and its cultural significance. As reported by santandercreativa.com.
