A Luminous Passage
Ryan Marino 16mm retrospective
NL Bij Cavia vinden we het altijd leuk om de magie van 16mm terug te brengen in ons filmhuis. Deze keer zijn we extra enthousiast, want we mogen de in New York gevestigde kunstenaar en filmmaker Ryan Marino verwelkomen met zijn koffer vol 16mm-films! In samenwerking met wysiwyg in Den Haag hebben we Ryan over de Atlantische Oceaan gehaald en vertonen we een retrospectief van zijn werk, zorgvuldig samengesteld door onze partners van wysiwyg. De maker zal zelf aanwezig zijn om zijn eigen films te vertonen.
EN At Filmhuis Cavia we are always happy when we can bring the magic of 16mm back to our cinema. This time we are even more excited, as we will be hosting New York-based artist and filmmaker Ryan Marino with his suitcase full of 16mm prints! Having coupled up with wysiwyg in Den Haag to bring Ryan over the Atlantic, we will be screening a retrospective of his work carefully curated by our partners of wysiwyg. The author will be present in the cinema to play his own prints.

Obscured in Soft Light

Filmed over several months during the evening hours while all was quiet, the film explores the nocturnal resonances and traces of domesticity left dormant amid the stillness of night.
The Visible Material
2024 | 16mm | color | sound | 8’
Through means of rephotography and refracted projection, the movements and luminescent surfaces of Berlin’s Alexanderplatz are transformed into vibrant fields of moving color.
Half Light

Shot over a period of three years in a single interior space, this film explores sensory perception through the textural surface of expired film stock, light and layered images. Ephemeral moments meld into voids of grain.
