Cinémathèque de Tanger / Among the Moderns
Saturday 11 November 2006 – Sunday 28 January 2007

This Winter Stills has teamed up with the Cinémathèque de Tanger in Morocco to transform our gallery into a trans-Arab video library.

Wind your way through our mini cinema spaces and encounter video and film work produced throughout the diverse cultural, political and social space of the Arab world; a world that now spans from Beirut to Paris to Los Angeles and back again.

The programme is loosely based around three sections - Coasts and Nomadism; Territory: Urban Landscape and Peripheries; and Here and Elsewhere.
The featured artists and filmmakers have created compelling alternative histories which criss-cross the tense and shifting borderlands between documentation and subjectivity, between national tradition and globalization. Their work variously explores whether the many 20th-century charts labelled ‘Modernity’ were mapping the real world, or inventing a new one.

Among the Moderns has been curated by artists Bouchra Khalili and Yto Barrada.

Artists & Filmmakers: Nassim Amaouche, Ali Cherri, Myrna Maakaron, Katia Kameli, Hicham Falah and Mohamed Chrif Tribak, Abu Ali, Joude Gorani, Tala Hadid, Wael Nourredine, Dalila Ennadre, Brahim Fritah, Mounir Fatmi, Carole Contant, Hakim Bellabes and Maria Karim, Nilu Izadi

About the Cinémathèque de Tanger, Morocco
In Autumn 2006, the Cinémathèque de Tanger opens in its permanent home, the Rif Cinema. Located on the historic Grand Socco plaza and standing at the auspicious intersection of the old city (the medina) and the new, this historic building is now being transformed into Morocco’s leading independent movie house for independent cinema and repertory programming.
