CINEMATOGRAPHY                For our 10-year anniversary we decided to organise a large tour through South America
-                             along the lines of the first IOIC China Tour in 2012. In spring and summer of 2018 we
10-Year Anniversar y          began with the preparations, did a lot of desk research and established all kinds of
IOIC South America Tour       contacts with possible partners in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. From 5 to 26 September
September 2019                2018, Pablo Assandri (Artistic Director) went on a research trip to Rio de Janeiro,
-                             Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Santiago de Chile and Valparaíso and met with many potential
«Adventures in Silent Film»   partners, institutions and locations. The trip was financed by the Swiss Arts Council
-                             Pro Helvetia.

                                                                                                                             Buenos Aires (above) and Rio de Janeiro (below) are but two destinations of the IOIC South America Tour 2019.
Chile

Argentina                     For 10 years, the IOIC has been successfully organising extraordinary silent film festi-
Brazil                        vals with contemporary live scores of diverse styles attracting not only the elderly but
-                             also a younger crowd. Only in Zurich you can find a silent film festival of the kind. In the
info@ioic.ch                  cities mentioned above, in the last 10 years there were only a few sporadic events
www.ioic.ch                   where the music was actually playing at the same level as the film. The IOIC is now
                              embarking on an expedition to South America to promote the image of silent film and
                              its representation in the form of live setting to music.

                              Among the many potential partners Pablo Assandri met on his research trip several
                              have become good partners and are very enthusiastic about the project in September.
                              These are for example Hernani Heffner, the director of the Cinemateca do MAM - Museu
                              de Arte Moderno do Rio de Janeiro; Edu Marun, the artistic director of EPA CINE Fes-
                              tival in Greater Buenos Aires; Alejandro Tantanián, the director of Teatro Nacional Cer-
                              vantes in Buenos Aires; Roser Fort Aguilera, the director of Cine Arte Alameda in San-
                              tiago de Chile; and the INSOMNIA team who has been renovating under difficult
                              circumstances the amazingly beautiful Teatro Condell, a historic cinema of the silent
                              era in Valparaíso where the opening event of the IOIC South America Tour will take
                              place on 4 September 2019.

                              Compared to Chile the cultural politics in Argentina and Brazil are a disaster. The cur-
                              rency in Argentina has devaluated 81% last year and on 5 September 2018 president
                              Mauricio Macri degraded the Ministry of Culture to a mere Secretariat. In Brazil, the
                              situation is even worse. On 2 September 2019, i.e. Exactly one day after assuming
                              office the newly elected openly racist, misogynist and anti-gay
                              president Jair Bolsonaro closed the Ministry of Culture of Brazil.
                              All our partners had the same word on their lips: «resistencia» or
                              «resistência», meaning resistance but then also perseverance.

OF

INCOHERENT                    On our first meeting with the team of EPA – Festival de Cine Independiente de El Palo-
CINEMATOGRAPHY                mar in Greater Buenos Aires in September 2018 the idea came up to show a silent film
-                             with live music at the next edition of the festival, i.e. on Saturday, 25 May 2019. After
10-Year Anniversar y          long and careful consideration especially because of financial reasons Pro Helvetia
IOIC South America Tour       finally insisted and we decided in common to show the silent feature film «Häxan»
September 2019                (1922) by Benjamin Christensen with a new live score by Iokoi (aka Mara Miccichè), one
-                             of our most experienced musicians. Besides the main programme we also decided to
«Adventures in Silent Film»   show a selection of short experimental films by the feminist film pioneers Germaine
-                             Dulac and Maya Deren with live scores by Iokoi and other local musicians.

Argentina                     Having decided this, we grasped the opportunity and organised a small tour through

Brazil                        Chile, Argentina and Brazil in order to promote the large tour in September. To mark the
-                             difference between both tours and to make the largest possible impact with as little
info@ioic.ch                  resources as necessary we decided to keep the first tour small and simple. This promo
www.ioic.ch                   tour financed again by Pro Helvetia was the ideal opportunity to present the IOIC to our
                              potential audiences in September and we are sure it will make a big difference for the
                              success of the large tour. Last but certainly not least, it strengthened the relationships
                              with our local partners and therefore will make the whole project more sustainable.

                              IOIC SOUTH AMERICA TOUR - SEPTEMBER 2019

                              For its 10th anniversary, the IOIC is organizing a tour through Chile, Argentina and Brazil
                              in September 2019 where it will present a selection of silent fictional and documentary
                              films showing daring adventures and glorious expeditions as well as films which are
                              daring and adventurous regarding their own cinematic form. Science fiction films
                              exploring the fantastic world of newest technologies, ethnographic and documentary
                              films at the edge of the civilized world, expedition and travelogue films, the conquest
                              of far-away locations like the South Pole, the top of Mount Everest or even planet Mars,
                              experimental films exploring the dream-like character of the modern medium film, etc.

                              All these silent films will be presented with new live scores by internationally renowned
                              Argentinian, Brazilian, Chilean, and Swiss musicians from different genres – from jazz
                              and improvised music to post-rock, live electronics and contem-
                              porary experimental music.

                              The IOIC South America Tour will show a representative glimpse
                              of what the IOIC has been doing in the last 10 years. In this time,
                              the city of Zurich has become the capital of innovative silent film
                              scoring. Nowhere else you will find a similar platform allowing
                              musicians from all musical styles to get into a dialogue with the
                              audience via the world of silent film. The IOIC’s approach to this
                              artistic past is never a nostalgic one but it is always trying to
                              open up the past via the present into the future.

www.ioic.ch                   one large ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’.

                              The film is defined by an aesthetic of the mechanic, with its abstracting montage, frag-
                              mentation of objects and dream of a panoptic vision. It not only testifies to how an
                              eclectic group of artists from all disciplines imagined the union of modernity and tech-
                              nology but also how French universalism of the 1920s staged the categories of human-
                              ity and inhumanity. Thus, personified inhumanity in the form of prima donna Claire
                              Lescot only finds back to humanity when she is introduced to fantastic world of newest
                              technology by scientist Einar Norsen that restores her to new life.

                              The IOIC will be showing the film with a new musical performance under the direction
                              of Luis Conde (ARG) and Florian Stoffner (CH). An orchestra of ten improvising musi-
                              cians from different genres – from classical, to jazz, rock and contemporary experimen-
                              tal music – will be representing the film’s two central themes: technology vs. modernity,
                              humanity vs. inhumanity. Alongside traditional and modern instruments, a number of
                              self-conceived electronic instruments built especially for this film performance act as
                              extensions to the human body.

                              THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PLANTS

                              The time-lapse film «The Miracle of Flowers» for a first time makes visible in large scale
                              the continuous movements of plants. The raw material is taken out of a promotional
                              film for fertilizer. In combination with pantomimic dance scenes representing the growth
                              and proper motions of plants this film on the life and death of plants becomes a visu-
                              ally enchanting example of the so-called Kulturfilm.

                              The score of the film is done by Tout Bleu, the new band of the Geneva singer and gui-
                              tarist Simone Aubert (Massicot, Hyperculte) with Pol Sinus on live electronics and
                              Agathe Max on violin.

OF

INCOHERENT                    Ever since the world was circumnavigated the islands of the south seas have been a
CINEMATOGRAPHY                projection screen for the desires of the so-called civilised world. That this longing also
-                             bears the seed of destruction of the longed-for is painfully shown in this first film shot
10-Year Anniversar y          on location in Tahiti. The pearl traders shamelessly capitalize on the innocence of the
IOIC South America Tour       natives and the newly introduced alcohol literally finishes them off. Only a doctor, him-
September 2019                self fallen for the firewater, tries to resist but is alone in opposing the destructive forces.

                                                                                                                                The sad tropicaal electro sounds of Bitter Moon fitting perfectly to the White Shadows in the South Seas by Robert Flaherty.

«Adventures in Silent Film»   This visually impressive swansong on the search for the ideal island got the second

                              HP LOVECRAFT

                              «The Call of Cthulhu» is the most famous short story by cult author HP Lovecraft. The
                              globe-trotting adventure film takes the tripartite construction of the narration and
                              moves from the 1920s via the year 1908 to the 1870s and back again. And, the story
                              embodies HPL’s nihilistic world view, his cosmic perspective, and his sense that man-
                              kind is doomed by its own insignificance.

                              The live score for this silent film of the 21st century will be done by Dave Phillips. In his
                              collaborations with the IOIC he has specialised in contemporary silent films. With his
                              diverse electronic equipment, he manipulates with virtuosity his huge archive of field
                              recordings in real-time.
