Revision as of 16:54, 9 January 2020

Jeffrey Babcock (USA) is an alternative film curator and cultural activist. As a promoter of independent film culture he is currently the programmer of several underground cinema venues throughout Amsterdam, where he places the films he screens into a historical, aesthetic, political and biographical context. As a student of Stan Brakhage, he developed a keen interest in experimental cinema and philosophy. He also has a keen eye for finding elements of experimental film-language beyond the strict limits of what is categorized as experimental film: from early science documentaries to contemporary Korean teenage films.

-In this workshop led by [[Gabriel Fontana]], we collectively questioned and reinvented the socio-political role of sport in contemporary society. By looking at the practice of sport from a queer perspective, we will understand movement and performativity as the basis for questioning current social systems and normative logics. Through a series of games, we experimented with tools to reflect on and change the rules of the social codes we are constantly playing. By celebrating interchangeability and fluid identities, the workshop aims to re-invent strategies for new societal values, both on and off the sports field.
-The workshop was followed by a talk by [[Erin Gatz]] from [https://prototypepgh.com/ Prototype Pittsburgh].
