27 March 2012 8pm: Józef Robakowski – The Energy Manifesto! + Q&A with the filmmaker

Close-Up is delighted to present a FREE screening of artist and filmmaker Józef Robakowski’s The Energy Manifesto! series. Robakowski will join us via Skype for a video Q&A from Poland!

“Józef Robakowski is one of the most famous Polish artists and filmmakers associated with the neo-avant-garde movement of the 1960s and 1970s. As founder and initiator of various independent film groups and art associations, Robakowski was extremely active in developing a strong independent film scene in Poland. His works are characterized by a marked tendency to transgress various genres and media. Robakowski has been and continues to be reviewed in a fine arts context, as well as within the classical film genre (film festivals and program cinema). His multifarious use of diverse media – photography, video, film, paper works, mechanical picture production, Expanded Cinema, TV broadcast, installation, performance, etc. – contains, on the one hand, a meta-discourse about the guidelines of “reality,” and on the other, a subjective perspective, which is included as “pure” reality appropriation in his (short) films. Robakowski has also contributed to this discourse in various theoretical texts.” – Patricia Grzonka
