On the 13th May 2014 EYE presented experimental films by students from VAV, department of Moving Image, Gerrit Rietveld Academy and three 16mm films from the EYE collection on the themes of Absence & Departure, curated by students of the MA in Preservation and Presentation of the Moving Image, Artistic Research, Film Studies and the Research Master in Art Studies at the University of Amsterdam.
Going, Gone… Forgotten?
Created and Curated by students of the University of Amsterdam Master’s Programme in Preservation and Presentation of the Moving Image and the Rietveld Academy.
A curated program of new works and films from the EYE collection on the theme of departure and absence. When we leave a place, a person, a situation, or a time, what is left behind? How do we say goodbye, and where can we travel, from countries far away to the recesses of the mind? This evening explores both the melancholy of loss and the joy of new possibilities.
During breaks between the three blocks of films, postcards were given to the audience with one solicitation: “Share a memory”.
