Monthly 16mm experimental film night presented by Australian Film Workshop.
CEIS8 was founded in 2015 as a response to the lack of celluloid-driven spaces in the Southern Hemisphere (more specifically South America) and to gain ground in the area of experimental cinema, which seemed at that point non-existent.
“Collective of Experimental Investigation in S8mm” (CEIS8) started as a resource for Super 8 filmmaking, but it grew to cover 16mm and other media formats. The group initially used stock recovered from flea markets in Santiago and worked straight from the bathtub of a share-house where founders Matias Illanes and Roberto Collio lived. The collective now hosts headquarters in Barrio Matta, Santiago, and the space consists of a house with studios, a garden, and a large darkroom.
With a critical view towards the hegemonic means of film production, CEIS8 collective proposes a space for reflection on analogue imagery, representation, and its limits. This program is composed of a scattered, distant, and varied group of films - just like an archipelago of works of unequal origins that move in different directions.
