Crossing the Line at GoMA

For the first time GFF sets up camp at GoMA, screening a cycle of three award-winning contemporary art films from Glasgow-born art collector Hugo Brown's Cobra to Contemporary Collection. Nicolas Provost's Plot Point (2007), which was awarded an Honourable Mention at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, uses hidden-camera footage of everyday life around Times Square in New York, edited and scored to lead the viewer into a subconscious process of discovering a story. Pruitt-Igoe Falls *(2009) by Cyprien Gaillard, recent winner of the Marcel Duchamp Prize at the Centre Pompidou, rhymes the 2008 demolition of the Sighthill tower block in Glasgow with the destruction of the Pruitt-Igoe housing project in St Louis, Missouri, in 1972. *Lucia, Luis and the Wolf (Joaquín Cociña, Cristóbal León, Niles Atallah, 2007/8) is a two-part stop-motion animation from Chile which has won awards at both VIS Vienna Independent Shorts and the YouTube Play Biennale at The Guggenheim in New York. Part of Glasgow Film Festival 2012: Crossing the Line.
