THE SUN SHINES FOR E V E R Y O N E
Dear
Filmmakers, Video Artists, Visionaries, Doers, Creative Souls
Traveling at the speed of LIGHT
with isomorphic brightness, sparkling feelings and glowing thoughts…
you are Welcomed.
Short Films, Video Art, Video Essay, Animation, Documentary, Fiction, Music Videos, Feature films etc…
The space where filmmakers can showcase their art with like minded people is now live and growing/evolving. A reality brought to you thanks for the work and imagination of glowing humans, maybe like you. A catalog for emerging and veteran creators around the globe can be accessed, freely, openly and without restrictions on ExperimentalFilms.Online
For more than 5 five years, we have been working mainly in Nuevo Leon (but not only) for distributing and sharing films from different places and perspectives to hungry audiences of a different cinema. With different disguises and means the ideas have reached different brain-eyes. Now as KWHALIA, since 2020 the project has found solar freedom and expansion.
Art in these weird times helps us deeply for communicating and sharing ideas. There are few narratives going on in the media, commonly they filter reality in templates that construct ways in which we learn the “correct” way to how we must see, perceive and think. Being aware of the uniqueness of our immediate world, the richness and chaos that surround us everyday is key for creating new ways of perceiving, sensing, thinking, feeling and overall exist.
Art, and film are more than just stories. More than fancy images.
What are we projecting onto reality? Where is our consciousness? We can think and be outside our skull? Is it desirable to evolve from the traditional exhibitions and aspire for something else at creation/distribution?
All art is experimental by definition, all creation is an ongoing trial and error for reaching outcomes that we may have not previously considered. Or maybe not. The openness and willingness to appreciate human creation through audiovisual means is key in the enlargement of our understanding. Our work in condensing and giving shape to this collage of lights that artists emanate and send to us changes overtime and finds new ways to flourish.
Being confronted by different narratives, and values helps us expand the conception we have about “reality”. Artists with their weirdness and spirit empower our ability to imagine. Adapt the circumstances to new codes of transference, new ways of expressing or old ones that are bring back under different contexts. The possibilities are infinite. The reality tunnels grow exponentially as the light reaches the eye. Illumination becomes the entrance to different dimensions of meaning.
Cocreation at its best.
Derived from all of this, in past entries we started the development of the PSYNEMAS.
Kwalhia is a continuous project that aims to reach different audiences. For Experimental Films an Experimental way of distributing is a must.
Since March of 2022 the selected films are being screened at CINECLUB ESFERA in El Carmen Nuevo León, México. Weekly, freely and open for everyone to see.
Also have special screenings on Adolfo Prieto School, in Parque Fundidora Monterrey. Villahermosa, Tabasco Mexico at Centro Cultural Villahermosa. Among some public spaces.
ENTER PSYNEMAS
The PSYNEMAS are Virtual Theaters for the showcasing of films, cybernetic places are being built for the appreciation of PSYNEMA/PARACINEMA. Leave behind the restrictions of the material world (not with the intention to replace, but to visit, reflect, consider other ways of seeing) and embrace the dreamlike possibilities that computational power can give us when guided by the imagination. EXpand/IMplode the meaning of the films by these virtues.
During the following months the programs will be uploaded to different PSYNEMAS. No subscriptions, no ads, no external software, just a computer and internet connection for this.
Also, the creation of a catalog of artists from different places of the world that can be accessed in more traditional form in: ExperimentalFilms.Online
Our aim is to continue the generation of several selections that help us challenge standard ways of perceiving, feeling and thinking. Showcasing a great variety of authors from around the globe in the website.
