Container and the Institute of Modern Art present Simmer, an evening of experimental short films exploring themes of control, release and rhythm through innovative moving image practices.
The two-part screening brings together works by Australian and international artists including James Edmonds, Tomonari Nishikawa, Elizabeth Price, Richard Serra with Joan Jonas, Emily Chao, and Pablo Mazzolo.
Highlights include Seasons/Patterns by James Edmonds, a poetic meditation on seasonal change; Tomonari Nishikawa’s Light, Night, Smoke, and Light, Noise, Smoke, which experiments with the relationship between image and sound using 16mm film; Elizabeth Price’s acclaimed The Woolworths Choir of 1979; and Pablo Mazzolo’s Green Ash, reflecting on the history and resilience of the Hênia-Kâmîare people of Argentina.
Presented in the IMA Screening Room, Simmer offers audiences an opportunity to experience a diverse selection of contemporary experimental cinema from leading artists working across film and moving image.
