Ran Slavin in time-tone portrait, sound images of possible futures, Radio Austria, oe1.ORF.at

“Ran Slavin has been shaping the scenes for experimental electronic music, film and video art in Israel since the 1990s. In his cinematic compositions and often large-format installations, the boundaries between the real and the virtual are blurred. Sonic dream landscapes create images of possible futures”

Staring Back at the Sun: Video Art from Israel, 1970-2012, is a video exhibition, program, and scholarly book that traces the development of contemporary video practice in Israel and highlights works by artists who take an incisive, critical perspective towards the cultural and political landscape in Israel and beyond. Staring Back at the Sun showcases the work of thirty-eight artists including many early performances, films, and videos never before presented outside of Israel. Informed by the international history of video art, the project traces the development of films and video in Israel and explores how artists have employed technology and material to examine the socio-political status quo. Works were selected based on historical significance or context, with attention to equality in gender, ethnic background, and age of the artists represented. Staring Back at the Sun presents an ambitious historical and critical approach, spanning five decades. This 200-page volume is a collaborative project of the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College and Artis, an independent, nonprofit organization that broadens international awareness and understanding of contemporary visual art from Israel.

Disorientation group show at The New Gallery Artists Studios, Jerusalem

Opening 15.11.19 at 11:00

The term orientation, finding one’s position, originates in the Latin orientis or oriens, meaning “to shine” or “East,” to which ancient maps pointed. The act of adjusting the map to the correct picture of the world, turning it around to face east, was called orientation. When the compass was invented, magnetic north took its place as the main cardinal direction for Eurocentric mapmakers. Disorientation is a state of lack of spatial awareness in which one loses direction, whether it be geographic, concrete, or, metaphorical.
The exhibition is on view in the New Gallery, Teddy Stadium, a complex that stands aloof in terms of the city’s spread, severed from the fabric of the urban street life, neighborhood, and community. The works by the six participating artists engage in definitions of place and its relationship with its visual markers. They mark out a place while simultaneously subverting the possibility of orientation within it.

We won the Israeli competition last night at Utopia Film Festival with Call For Dreams! Thank you Utopiafest and thank you Jury Members Lior Elefant, Israel, Co-director, Israeli Women in Film and Television Forum Angel Sala Corbi, Spain, Director of the SITGES Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Catalunya Pedro Souto, Portugal, Director of the Lisbon International Horror Film Festival, MOTELX

Took us by surprise.

Quote:
The jury of the Utopia Israel competition want to congratulate the organization of the Festival for a great selection, a perfect balance between pure genre movies and others more focused in the progressive genre hybridization and the break of frontiers of different cinema manifestations.
The winner for this jury is Call For Dreams directed by Ran Slavin (produced by Ronen Ben-Tal). A film that develops a rich structure of themes, a complex narrative between science fiction and video art and also a reflection about the nature of reality.
