NORWEGIAN FILM ART: THE SIXTIES

This programme marks the beginning of Minimalen's project of screening Norwegian film art history, decade by decade. We start out with the 60s, the decade when the free artistic short film became a concept, thus challenging the Norwegian film culture.

The selection is based on the work the art iniative Atopia made with the project "Retrospective. Film and video art in Norway", a look back and a long-term research project which has led to an exhibition at the Stenersen Museum and a book. This writing of history is largely a pioneering effort, and in this way history is both made and preserved. Minimalen is proud to be able to redistribute this work.

In large, the films in this programme were created within a cinema tradition. Atopia's work has taken these movies out of the darkness of the cinema screening room, and into the gallery, a key contextual turn. Hereby we take the movies back into the darkness to explore what happens there.
