VideoSur II : Experimental Video from Latin America
Discordiafilms presents VideoSur II, a selection of experimental video that includes documentation of performance and art actions, noise video and stop motion animation from Chile and Mexico. Co-curated by Anabel Vazquez and Liz Munsell of DiscordiaFilms, and guest curator Julio Lamilla, VideoSur II was first shown in December of 2009 at the MassArt Film Society.
DiscordiaFilms is Ivanna Bergese, Liz Munsell, and Anabel Vazquez, a curatorial collective dedicated to the exchange and promotion of experimental video art made in the Americas. Their VideoSur series was shown in 2009 and 2010 in Boston, MA. A selection of shorts from VideoSur I and II was shown at UnionDocs in NYC in December of 2009 and at Montserrat College in Beverly, MA in 2012. VideoNorte, a selection of video art from the U.S. was shown in Córdoba and Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in Valparaíso, Quillota and Santiago, Chile in 2010. DiscordiaFilms staged a benefit screening of VideoNorte in 2010 at Spectacle in Boston, MA to help fund relief efforts in Chile in the aftermath of the February 27th earthquake. Donations helped artists we have collaborated with in the past, specifically Chimba Lab in Santiago, whose space was badly damaged.
In 2011, DiscordiaFilms was invited to partner with PANOPTIC, an exhibition of new media installation and experimental documentary shorts at Asymmetrick Arts at the The Camden International Film Festival. They presented Mass-Memoria: Revisiting Argentina and Chile's Political Histories, a video installation, and the U.S. premier of a film by Guillermo Gomez about Puerto Rican identity.
