Adrift Residency (solo programme)

Adrift is a residency programme curated by Bahía Colectiva in collaboration with Los Angeles Filmforum where filmmakers connect with audiences and other practitioners by sharing a virtual archive of the process materials behind their film and video works. The materials showcased may include: texts, images, sounds, music, research notes, drawings, sculpture, found objects, film references, food recipes, news reports, text messages, accidental encounters, inspirations, conversations, arguments, dreams, etc. Existing in virtuality, Adrift is a borderless space for community building and broadening collective knowledge between filmmakers, artists, curators and enthusiasts.

Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner were artists in residence 15 - 19 October 2021. Working collaboratively since 2017, their films, texts and lectures focus on the moving image as a tool for the active production of new worlds. Their practice has been driven by questions about the thresholds between the body and its surroundings, knowledge regimes and power, modes of organizing and perceiving the natural world. The archive of unseen materials was made accessible through Bahía Colectiva’s online platform. The film screening and discussion on the exposed archive were streamed through Los Angeles Filmforum’s website.

Programmed by Bahía Colectiva.
