On the 10th of June E*Cinema Academy will be dedicated to the darling of artist’s film practice, the Super8 film, bringing together a special selection of films from different artists all shot on this format, some of which were recently preserved by EYE but rarely seen before.

The evening focuses on Dutch artist Jaap Pieters, probably the best known Super8 practitioner in Holland, also known as the EYE of Amsterdam. His films are small gems of the everyday life, poetic diary films, shot from and around his apartment in Amsterdam. The evening offers a rare occasion to see Super8 films projected in its original format by the artist in person.

The program includes short films by Luk Sponselee, Peter Rubin, Barbara Meter and Jean-Pierre Sens and is presented by Simona Monizza, curator of experimental film in EYE. A performance by Caroline Ruijgrok en improvisation musician Oscar Jan Hoogland will accompany the program.

Part 1: introduction by Simona Monizza (5 min) followed by a selection of Jaap Pieters’ Super8 films projected by the artist (selection not yet known), and a short Q&A. Total length 30 min.
Part 2: a music and spoken word performance by Caroline Ruijgrok and Oscar Jan Hoogland using the films Bereklauw (Jaap Pieters, 1992, 35mm, 3 min); Opwaaiingen (Jaap Pieters, 2009, 35mm, 3 min) and Convalescing (Barbara Meter, 35mm, 3 min) projected in new blow-up 35mm copies. Total length 20 min
Part 3: a selection of artist’s Super8 films restored to 16mm: Hidden Mystery (Luk Sponselee); Walk 1 (Jean-Pierre Sens, 1991); Browsers Welcome (Peter Rubin, 1982). Total length 25 min

Yes, I'll be going. As a Luddite it will be my first visit to the new EYE institute
My last visit was to the old building in Vondelpark.
I still havn't got over the culture shock of the new concrete construction compared to the beautiful old building they left.
On the other hand I am still busy with analog film but must admit hd video has me also in its charm.

The EYE institute and new building are a huge success.

The lure of old buildings is nice to people who don't have to run a business or live in them.
Safety concerns for the audience and collection are a major issue too.

Seems your keyboard is breaking down.

Vondelpark is not from the 17th century. Like most buildings and housing in Amsterdam it is barely over 100 years. And these are certainly not worth keeping. Only housing within the old city walls and canals is really old.

Are you OK? Seems you don't understand a word of the writing. Neither mine or your own.

Just go and visit the event. Or don't when there is blood dripping from the structure.
