is pleased to present
“The Order of Revelation: Films by Anna Kipervaser”
Anna Kipervaser in person
On Monday, July 31, 2017 at 7pm at PIX Film Gallery (1411 Dufferin Street, Unit C), Anna Kipervaser will present a screening of a selection of her 16mm films. Visiting from Durham, North Carolina, Anna is in town doing an extensive project on LIFT’s JK optical printer.
This on-going project, The Order of Revelation, will be the centerpiece of the screening. The film is a long-form project translating the Quran from Arabic to Visual language, in the order in which it was revealed rather than the order in which it was canonized. The film uses the optical printer to spell out each word of each verse and surah, following the rules of the recitation of the Quran. The result is a visual translation of reading, which is in itself a visual translation of an oral tradition. The film is a multi-year project, with the most recent section being what Anna is creating while in residence at LIFT. The film is paired with And By The Night, a recent color film.
Program:
And By The Night, 16mm, color, silent, 10 minutes, 18fps, 2017
The Order of Revelation: 1-32, 16mm, black & white, silent, 56 minutes, 18fps, 2015-2017
