Retrospective of Vivian Ostrovsky: Program 1

Movie

Director: Vivian Ostrovsky
USA, 1982, 8', HDD, color
English with Turkish subtitles

From Paris to Berlin, from Amsterdam to Rio, from Jerusalem to New York. With a super 8 camera shooting only at night. Hungarian crooners, Indian tribal chants, opera arias, and an occasional samba make up the sound track of this “hand-held” diary.

Copacabana Beach

Director: Vivian Ostrovsky
USA, 1983, 10', HDD, color
English with Turkish subtitles

A humorous glimpse at what happens every morning on the wavy sidewalks of Copacabana beach. Physical fitness Brazilian style, with a dash of soccer and hints of Carmen Miranda.

Allers Venues

Director: Vivian Ostrovsky
USA, 1984, 12', HDD, color
English with Turkish subtitles 

A month in the country. In summer, a group of friends rent a house in southern France. People come and go, making their way through chickens, dogs and cats. Playful sounds and a whacky collage of music make up the soundtrack.

ICE/SEA

Director: Vivian Ostrovsky
USA, 2005, 31', HDD, color
English with Turkish subtitles

A celluloid aperitif for the summer combining found footage of seashores using the filmmaker’s own archive of coastal material. Fun and free-associative, the movie ventures to Rio, Miami, Montpellier, the Dead Sea, the Black Sea, and elsewhere, keeping a visual diary of sun-seekers, boardwalk architecture, and celebrity sightings. A beach extravaganza starring, suicidal skiers, soaking tigers, plunging mermaids and much more.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.

Turquerie

Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
