Fuses

director: Carolee Schneemann
original title: Fuses
country: United States
year: 1967
running time: 30 min.

synopsis

A classic work of avant-garde cinema, in which the intimacy of a sensual experience meets the materiality of the medium in a spontaneously poetic celebration of physical existence. The filmmaker utilizes burning, painting, and drawing on the film stock, modifying the speed of shots, and layering multiple exposures in a non-narrative structure of scenes from nature and sexual scenes in which the filmmaker performs with her partner.

biography

American multidisciplinary artist Carolee Schneemann (1939-2019) focused on performance, painting, photography, film and video. The author advocated a revolutionary open view of physicality, sexuality and gender. When creating her movies and videos, she worked with collage and painting directly on the film stock. Her film Endless Kisses (2008) was presented at the 2009 Ji.hlava IDFF.
