aluCine Film+Media Arts Festival
celebrates the latest works by LatinAmerican artists at the forefront of
innovation in film, video, and new
media. aluCine seeks to showcase
excellence
and
innovation
in
contemporary Latin-Canadian film
and new media works. Our annual
festival functions as a vital Canadian
outlet for emerging and established
Latin filmmakers living in Canada, Latin
America and the diaspora, while our
year-round screenings, symposiums
and
workshops
promote
the
development of Latin film and culture
in Toronto. In all of our endeavours,
aluCine strives to transgress aesthetic,
ideological and geographical borders
and to transcend pre-established
notions of representation as they
pertain to Latin American culture in
Canada. The Festival’s screenings, panel
discussions and social events attract
and connect filmmakers, media artists,
programmers, buyers and industry
professionals. The works accepted
reflect the diversity of the LatinAmerican culture.
Since its inception in 1995,
aluCine Latin Film+Media Arts
Festival (known also as the Southern
Currents Film & Video Collective,
aluCine’s legal entity) continues to
evolve to reflect the needs of its
constituencies. Founded by Southern
Currents Film & Video Collective in
July of 1993 by Jorge Lozano, Ramiro
Puerta and Ricardo Acosta.
While the Spanish language creates
a common bond for the Hispanic
community, our public is diverse,
based in part on the political and
socio-economic
conditions
of
our members’ countries of origin.
Therefore, the Spanish-speaking
community functions through a
community based on diversity. Our
artistic vision reflects this, as we seek
to create platforms for dialogue among
film/video and new media artists,
curators and audiences in Canada,
Latin America, and throughout the
diaspora.
With the help of funders, sponsors and
community partners, aluCine is now
regarded as one of the most important
Latin-American film and media arts
festivals in Canada. The ten-day
aluCine Film+Media Arts Festival
and aluCine’s year-round initiatives
including Free Community Screenings,
fill a void in the artistic and cultural
landscapes of Toronto in which LatinAmerican filmmakers and media artists
are often underrepresented.
We are earnest in our role as advocates
for the Latino media arts community.
We also believe that it is important
to recognize the need for our cultural
institutions to grow and expand to give
a sense of belonging to individuals in
the region. As one of the few LatinAmerican Media Arts Festivals in
Canada
promoting
independent
productions, aluCine represents an
opportunity for Latino-Canadian artists
to network and present their works in a
competitive international setting.
Welcome to aluCine!

Mekielia (Miki) Nembhard
Interim Director, Board of Directors, aluCine
In April 2014 aluCine celebrates Hispanic Heritage
Month, with 10 days of vibrant cinema and media art. At
aluCine Film+Media Arts Festival we remain committed
to building bridges between Canadian and Latino artists. We strive to create platforms for dialogue among
film/video and new media artists, curators and audiences in Canada, Latin America and around the world. This would not be possible without the unwavering support of our audience members, volunteers,
sponsors and co-presenters as well as our generous funders. On behalf of my
fellow board members and myself, we thank you from our hearts. We look
forward to celebrating aluCine’s 14th festival! Congratulations! Felicidades!
Sinara Rozo Perdomo
Executive Director, aluCine
Bienvenidos and Welcome! I am delighted to kickoff
the 14th aluCine Latin Film+Media Arts Festival with the
launch of Hispanic Heritage month! We will heat up Toronto this April with a vibrant showcase of Hispano-Canadian art and culture, featuring a spotlight on Mexico.
To celebrate aluCine’s 14th anniversary we have selected the best in independent and contemporary film. Our 2014 line-up is jam packed; twelve exciting
film programs, over seventy films, seven media arts exhibitions, live performances, music, artist’s talks, panel discussions and much more. As one of the
most diverse and accessible film festivals in the city we are proud to include
Bittersweet an astounding queer program and audience favourite Diversidad;
a carefully crafted program celebrating the artistry of local heroes. Other highlights are two special programs, Blood Relations: Stories of Family in Mexico and Internet And Network Based Art Projects by guest curators Heather
Haynes and Julieta Maria. Not to be missed is the return of young audiences
favourite Shorts for Shorties highlighting Mexican culture through artful cartoons and classic animation styles.
As our role as presenter continues to grow, so do the number of partnerships. Our media arts programming is possible thanks to the vital collaborations with local organizations such is the case of the exhibit Forest and Toronto_05apr2014 _ at New Adventures In Sound Art. I am also very excited
about a sizzling new addition to Toronto's art scene, the launch of the BAVIA
Arts Gallery with the premiere of Weeds/Mala hierba. For our industry sessions
we planned two timely and relevant panels, Demystifying Media Arts offering
a strong and focused vision of the role of Latin-Canadian artists working in
the field in Canada and Giving Life to Your Short Film: from financing to distribution.
aluCine will not exist if it wasn’t for the crucial support received from OAC
over the last 20 years. We are honoured to acknowledge that aluCine has
received $188,400 in OAC grants since 1994. The Ontario Arts Council has
placed Latino-Canadian artists at the forefront of the national cultural landscape. Cheers to another 50th years of Live, Love and Art! With the generous
support of our new and returning sponsors and the incredible support from
you, we have been established as the longest-running Latin film and media
arts festival in Canada.
I would also like to thank our government funders, corporate sponsors, community partners and audiences; you have allowed us to keep up our quest for
brilliant Latin American film and media art alive. My heartfelt gratitude goes
out to the extraordinaire aluCine staff and to the many volunteers for getting
this year’s festival off the ground, you are my extended family and my beloved
community. Muchas Gracias! Our Board of Directors has exceeded our expectations with their wisdom, experience and dedication
This festival is dedicated to the memory of aluCine’s former board of directors
Arlan Londoño, Colombian artist, curator and scholar. Arlan, this one is for
you, let's celebrate what you lived for and loved the most, the arts.
Have a great time at this year’s festival! Join us for our wonderful new programming, our numerous receptions, gallery art openings, performances, music, food and so much laughter and celebration.

I would like to thank the staff, volunteers and board members for their
hard work in bringing this month-long festival and heritage month to Toronto, our province’s capital city. Your commitment to celebrating excellence and diversity in Latin media art is inspiring through your efforts,

the Latin community — and with the immense talent possessed by Latin
artists.

your 14th anniversary. Being Canada’s largest Latin film festival, aluCine has become a well-known
event in the city’s calendar and reflects the richness

aluCine is a wonderful manifestation of the incredible talent and imagination of Latin film directors, animators, painters, and photographers. With
all the diversity it offers, the festival uniquely showcases emerging art

This program reflects the wealthy
imagination of Latin-American
filmmakers. From a revealing
documentary made by Brazilian
natives, to a co-production
between Colombia, Denmark and
France in which a love story is
unraveled, and which was affected
by the film’s production itself. This
is a bold cinematic and cultural
journey, political, funny and tender.

Fragmented & Appropriated Memories
The Books of Waiting / Los Libros de Espera
An Appropriate Self-portrait / Autorretrato Apropiado
The Books of Waiting is a series of diaristic videos projected onto three handmade books that capture kinesthetic responses to childhood memories
about state organized violence. These memories oscillate between fiction
and reality, attempting to make sense of a history meant to disappear from
official records during Venezuela’s 1960s armed insurgency.
The starting point for An Appropriate Self-Portrait is the conviction that
the film fragment is to word, what audiovisual material is to vocabulary,
and what the film archive is to language. Alós builds a character out of
fragments extracted from international cinema and weaves with them
her own personal history: past, present, and future; both imagined and
reinvented.
Livia Daza-Paris
Los Libros de Espera son videos diarísticos proyectados sobre tres libros,
estos capturan reacciones cinestésicas a memorias infantiles sobre
violencia organizada. Estas memorias oscilan entre realidad y ficción,
intentando dar sentido a una historia que debió desaparecer de archivos
oficiales durante la insurgencia armada de los años 60 en Venezuela.
Venezuelan-Canadian artist Livia Daza-Paris incorporates performance,
video and poetic narratives to integrate themes of unresolved memories.
The Skinner Releasing Technique greatly influence her work.

María José Alós
El punto de partida de Autorretrato Apropiado es la convicción de que el
fragmento cinematográfico es a la palabra, lo que el material audiovisual es
al vocabulario y el archivo fílmico al lenguaje. Alós construye un personaje
a partir de fragmentos extraídos de películas del cine internacional y teje su
historia personal: pasado, presente, y futuro; imaginados y reinventados.

Bio-overexposed is an enter-active sound and video work. It utilizes
electronic components to allow the viewer to “play” with serious matters,
among them the increasing capacity for surveillance and traceability that
the acceleration of new technologies allows. Is this techno-bio–somasemio-political control science fiction or the beginning of a new era?
Phantomaton is a 3-channel-video installation that places spectators in
various urban landscapes through composite video shots. The installation
requires audience participation in order to function, and addresses the

creation.

Weeds, is an immersive sculptural sound space with video and electronic
components that deal with the use of plants for medicinal purposes and
for funeral rituals in the town of San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia. This

colonial times and has been designated as a World Heritage Site.
Using video, pre-recorded and live music as well as real-time sound
manipulation Edgardo Moreno explores themes of immigration to Canada as
a child. Navigating the rough waters of his parents’ social and political culture
as it comes into contact with a new one. The questions that arise and the
unexpected answers that emerge. It is a story both personal and universal.

Internet And Network Based Art Projects
Curated by Julieta Maria
Executive Director, e-Fagia Visual and Media Art
In this selection of internet and network based art projects from artists of
Latin American background, the idea of net-art presents itself as a point of
intersection between art and other communities beyond the limited artistic
sphere. These work explore communication networks as a way to sharing
community knowledge and/or experiences from a localized perspective.
Art education, formal and informal has always played an important role in
establishing the conceptual and practical trends influencing contemporary
practices. In this debate two teams of three will debate the questions: Is contemporary practice over theorized? How can artists make a living outside of
academia? Is an MFA the minimum requirement for maintaining a professional
practice? Are there alternative and community based pedagogies that can
disrupt the hegemony of the university?
En esta selección de proyectos de arte basados en el internet y la red, por
artistas y colectivos de origen latinoamericano, la idea de net-art se presenta
como un punto de intersección entre el arte y otras comunidades más allá de
la esfera artística limitada. Estos trabajos exploran las redes de comunicación
como una manera de compartir el conocimiento y / o experiencias comunitarias desde una perspectiva localizada. Online program (www.alucine.com)
La educación artística, formal e informal siempre ha sido una parte importante estableciendo las modas conceptuales y las tendencias que influyen
las practicas contemporáneas. En este debate dos equipos discutirán estas
preguntas: Es practica contemporánea demasiado teorizada? Como puede
ganarse la vida un artista sin lo académico? Es una Maestría en Artes el
requerimiento mínimo para mantener una práctica profesional? Hay alternativas o pedagogías basadas en la comunidad que puedan romper con la
hegemonía universitaria?

ALUCINE & UMA NOTA PRESENT
Uma Nota Culture animates Bavia Art Gallery with talks, workshops, and
musical experiences that highlight its collective influences and their cultural
relevance in Toronto. This will focus on the present and place into context
the history and evolution of artistic forms from the Latin American, Brazilian,
and African diaspora and their impact on Canadian society.
Uma Nota Culture is a reference point for world citizens and lovers of music
and culture. Local to Toronto, the collective is heavily influenced by Latin
and Brazilian culture, where art is not simply something to be viewed on a
stage, but part of a social experience.

In addition, to put the discussion into practice, Mar Aberto hosts a 'coco
de roda' (northeastern Brazilian folkloric circle game/dance) and invites
cultural and musical groups to participate, including Zé Fua, Baque de
Bamba, Capoeira Angola Ori and Capoeira Camara.
