  • A Zeitgeist Films Release Theatrical Booking Contact: Festival Booking and Publicity Contact
    Theatrical Booking Festival Booking and Contact: Publicity Contact: Clemence Taillandier / Zeitgeist Films Nadja Tennstedt / Zeitgeist Films 212-274-1989 x18 212-274-1989 x15 [email protected] [email protected] a zeitgeist films release act of god a film by Jennifer Baichwal Is being hit by lightning a random natural occurrence or a predestined event? Accidents, chance, fate and the elusive quest to make sense out of tragedy underpin director Jennifer Baichwal’s (Manufactured Landscapes) captivating new work, an elegant cinematic meditation on the metaphysical effects of being struck by lightning. To explore these profound questions, Baichwal sought out riveting personal stories from around the world—from a former CIA assassin and a French storm chas- er, to writer Paul Auster and improvisational musician Fred Frith. The philosophical anchor of the film, Auster was caught in a terrifying and deadly storm as a teenager, and it has deeply affected both his life and art: “It opened up a whole realm of speculation that I’ve continued to live with ever since.” In his doctor brother’s laboratory, Frith experiments with his guitar to demonstrate the ubiquity of electricity in our bodies and the universe. Visually dazzling and aurally seductive, Act of God singularly captures the harsh beauty of the skies and the lives of those who have been forever touched by their fury. DIRECTOR’S NOTES I studied philosophy and theology before turning to documentary and, in some ways, the questions I was drawn to then are the ones I still grapple with now, although in a different context. Two of these, which specifically inform this film, are the relationship between meaning and randomness and the classical problem of evil.

  • The Artist in the Field: Investigating Tourist Performativity and Ethnographic Methodology Through Art Practice
    The Artist in the Field: Investigating tourist performativity and ethnographic methodology through art practice Stuart A. Simpson A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2008 The Artist in the Field: Investigating tourist performativity and ethnographic methodology through art practice Stuart A. Simpson, 2007 Abstract of the research This research centres on an artistic exploration of ethnographic methodologies whilst investigating tourist performativity and the presentation of self within tourist documentation. Central to this presentation is the performance of the documented smile. The materiality of this research comes from documentary evidence (video, sound, photography, interviews, fieldnotes and diaries) recorded during a fieldtrip around popular tourist destinations in Europe. Data gathering methods, such as participant observation, reflexive writing and informal interviews with tourists, were employed not just to capture the tourist experience of others, but also to explore the multiplicity and variability of the researcher self within the field. The representation of the researcher within the research findings has become one of the issues that this project has sought to address. Two practical outputs, a primary case study entitled Smile: Formaggio con Queso (a randomly configuring computer networked installation) and a secondary case study (an interactive kiosk), interface a database constructed from the field data. Both case studies support research into how ethnographic methods might be used to inform the production processes of an art project, and, additionally, how digital art practice might contribute to the presentation of post-paradigm ethnography. The practical issues of data collecting and the implications of using the self as part of the data source are highlighted.

  • Fred Frith Und Die Ungeahnten Klangwelten Der Gitarre
    Jazz Collection: Fred Frith und die ungeahnten Klangwelten der Gitarre Dienstag, 25. Februar 2014, 21.00 - 23.00 Uhr Samstag, 01. März 2014, 22.00 - 24.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Der englische Gitarrist und Komponist Fred Frith, geboren 1949, testet seit seinen Anfängen mit der Band «Henry Cow» die Grenzen seines Instruments. Er entführt seine Hörer in entlegene Klangwelten. Der Gitarrist Vinz Vonlanthen ist Gast in der Sendung. Es gibt tausend Arten Gitarre zu spielen. Fred Frith hat noch ein paar Dutzend hinzu erfunden. Vom «Progressive Rock» ausgehend, hat der Klangkünstler aus Yorkshire mit Tonabnehmern und elektronischer Verfremdung experimentiert. Frith hat seine Klangfantasien auch für Gitarrenquartett arrangiert und für das Ensemble Modern komponiert. Schon mit seinem ersten Solo-Album unternahm er 1974 den Versuch, analog John Cage‘s Klavierkompositionen die Gitarre neu zu erfinden. Klangvielfalt und rhythmisch komplexe Muster kennzeichnen seine Arbeit. Der in Genf lebende Gitarrist Vinz Vonlanthen als Gast analysiert die technischen Kniffe des unkonventionellen Virtuosen und würdigt den Sound-Visionär Fred Frith.
