Alter Us is proud to invite you to the Alter Us Film Festival, the second instalment in our programme of art events at Clerkenworks. The Alter Us Film Festival brings together a  selection of film-based artworks created during the lockdown as well as a collaborative ‘film of films’, representing fragments of our experiences in quarantine and resulting enquiries into our new socially distanced realities. 

Tere Chad and Christopher Pearson, the curators, say: “This event brings together several films by the artist-members of Alter Us Collective, exploring topics such as our anthropocentric relationship with nature, the limits of the human body’s physical capacity for movement, the various ways in which our links with domestic space and our hometowns are being redefined, and other issues surrounding isolation and connectivity in lockdown.”

 Ania Assadi-Sabet: showcases three animations that open up questions around why men keep on destroying the natural environment and how shall we face climate change. - ABOUT ALTER US: Alter Us is a London-based multi-disciplinary collective of international artists interested in exploring the complex issues surrounding the environment. Our film festival at Clerkenworks features several short films and a collaborative work which comprises film and photography contributions from many of the artist-members of Alter Us, as well as music composed by Paul Hindle, to produce an event which fundamentally investigates the current situation of the pandemic.

Mandeep  Dillon:  on  her  film  Last  SOUNDS,  sampled  sounds  from  endangered  whales create a sense of pathos as they interplay with a speech from pastor John Piper who evangelises about human dominion over nature. Dillon also presents Animal  Magic  in which footage from a chicken ��processing  plant  is  edited  to  the  soundtrack  of  the  1970s  children’s  TV  series,  Animal Magic. Both films reflect on the consequences of anthropocentrism.

 Paula  Turmina  and  Teresa  Paiva:  The  MoUntain  animation  unfolds  from  a  written meditation  script  whereby  the  artists  engage  with  mindfulness,  breath  and  movement  through sound and image. The  MOUNTain  becomes a metaphor for the obstacles that we are presented with throughout our lives on Earth, which can be potentially overcome by grounding ourselves in the present, here and now.

M. Lohrum: displays a selection of videos  documentation  of  several  performances  made both in public and private spaces. In them, she explores sound, the tracing of movement, mark-making, site-specificity and counter-hegemonic behaviours while her body interacts with different contexts.

 Tere Chad: her latest short film The Spectacle of the Shadows, is a shadow marionette political parody about the current pandemic. She hand-crafted the marionettes during lockdown using recycled carboards. It is a post-utopian scenario where humanity has  been  extinguished and emblematic world leaders face the judgement of ‘God’. She mixes real audio footage with music composed by Paul Hindle.

Thanks to all who came to our Manifesto Declaration last Saturday at @theoldbaths Through a performance we built up a plastic garden made with bottles, glasses and straws collected through a recycling campaign in London. Inside the straws we put some kitchen paper, and invited the audience to plant beans and lentils, some of the world’s more sustainable crops. The installation will remain till the 12th of July. Some seeds will grow, others will die, as a methaphor to how we will overcome the plastic excess and Anthropocene’s challenges. Hope you can come tonight to our panel discussion at 19hrs!!! . . . . . #alterus #manifesto #manifestodeclaration #sustainable #recycle #anthropocene #sustainableart #performance #collective #collaboration #londoncollective #artist #contemporaryarts #plastic #waste #lentil #bean #plasticgarden (at The Old Baths) https://www.instagram.com/p/By5UJIqljlU/?igshid=11tmqoqex2h1n
