She Cuts: Talk with Ana Pfaff and Diana Toucedo

L'Alternativa Activities - She Cuts: Talk with Ana Pfaff and Diana Toucedo

Revealing the Real Side to Reality

The cutting room is where writing begins afresh, where keen eyes reread and tease new meanings out of images, sometimes effortlessly, more often only after hours of patient coaxing. The task may be clear – finding, feeling and shaping something out of this in-between time – but it is rarely a conscious, analytical or rational search. We set images against others and look for a presence, a certain something that turns a mere reflection into a glimpse of life. Faint glints that hint at what might be. An unconscious, sensory and emotional journey through everything that editing can create and reveal.

Ana Pfaff and Diana Toucedo will explore the methodology of a film editor through the images in Trinta lumes (Diana Toucedo, 2018).

Pre-talk screening of Trinta lumes at 7 pm in the CCCB Auditorium.

This activity ties in with the She Cuts parallel section.
