LIVING APART TOGETHER – FILMS BY elephy collective
Filmscreening

elephy is an artists’ collective and film production platform from Brussels that engages with women’s experiences, socio-economic realities, class differences, migration, and community—always from the perspective of intimacy and care.

The collective has curated the upcoming exhibition LIVING APART TOGETHER at Kunsthalle Exnergasse, reflecting elephy’s desire for community across different locations, production methods, and the temporal dimensions of lived experiences.

At the screening at filmkoop wien, the films of elephy artists Christina Stuhlberger, Eva Giolo, Rebecca Jane Arthur, and Chloë Delanghe enter into dialogue with contemporary and historical films by artists from Austria and Belgium.

Programme:

A Tongue Called Mother by Eva Giolo

16MM SCANNED TO DIGITAL FILE, COLOUR, 4:3, STEREO, FRENCH SPOKEN, ENGLISH SUBTITLES, BE, 2019, 18’

A Tongue Called Mother depicts the relationship between language, gestures and affiliation. It slowly captures the actions and words of three generations of women in the same family and children learning to read, meditating on words learnt and forgotten through the body.

Island Flyer: A Postcard from the Isle of Wight by Rebecca Jane Arthur

SUPER 8 SCANNED TO DIGITAL FILE, COLOUR, 4:3, ENGLISH SPOKEN, UK/BE, 2021, 11’51”

In Island Flyer: A Postcard from the Isle of Wight, Rebecca Jane Arthur takes us on a journey to an island in the English Channel in pursuit of summertimes gone by.

Hexham Heads by Chloë Delanghe and Mattijs Driesen

16MM, 6X4.5CM PHOTOGRAPHS AND VHS SCANNED TO DIGITAL FILE, COLOUR AND BLACK AND WHITE, 4:3, 5.1. SURROUND, ENGLISH SPOKEN, UK/BE, 34′

In 1971, a family living in the town of Hexham was plagued by a series of paranormal events. After bringing a pair of small stone heads into their home, the family became terrorized by the ghostly sounds and images these objects exerted. Hexham Heads adopts an impressionistic approach to this contemporary folk tale. Using the story as a point of departure, the film guides us through a multitude of spaces in which time and matter become still-frozen, stretched, and repeated. A darkroom, an apartment, a house, a warehouse for construction materials, are all connected and portrayed through the spectral lens of photography.

Pig by Christina Stuhlberger

HD VIDEO, COLOUR, NO DIALOGUE, 2013, 9’

The film follows life, death and transformation of a pig.
