Weekdays, 1-6pm                            

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Auguste and Louis Lumière’s first film, Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory, in 1995 filmmaker Sarah Moon asked 39 renowned international directors to each shoot a 52-second film using the original Cinématographe camera under the conditions endured by the Lumière Brothers in 1895. There were three rules: no synchronized sound; only natural light; and the filmmaker can only have three takes. The resulting documentary, Lumière and Company (1995), illustrates just how far film-making has evolved.                                                                    

The participating filmmakers include: Merzak Allouache, Gabriel Axel, Vicente Aranda, Theodoros "Theo" Angelopoulos, Bigas Luna, John Boorman, Youssef Chahine, Alain Corneau, Costa-Gavras, Raymond Depardon, Francis Girod, Peter Greenaway, Lasse Hallström, Michael Haneke, Hugh Hudson, Gaston Kaboré, Abbas Kiarostami, Cédric Klapisch, Patrice Leconte, Spike Lee, Claude Lelouch, David Lynch, Merchant Ivory Productions (Producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory), Claude Miller, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Arthur Penn, Lucian Pintilie, Jacques Rivette, Helma Sanders-Brahms, Jerry Schatzberg, Nadine Trintignant (downloaded from ZappInternet), Fernando Trueba, Liv Ullmann, Yoshishige Yoshida, Jaco Van Dormael, Régis Wargnier, Wim Wenders, Zhang Yimou.

While exhibitions are under installation, BRIC House closes its gallery “garage” doors and uses them as screens for this video series. The series highlights contemporary video artists in either single- or three channel projections that are looped from 10am-6pm and can be enjoyed while sitting on the BRIC Stoop and cafe.
