CAMP presents
Saturday or Sunday evening screenings through winter,
exploring footage both within and outside the usual capsule of "the
film". An experience that could be similar to watching films, or at
other times harder to digest, or slower to release, closer to the moment of
shooting, less censorious, and less fearful of finitude. Another life,
another world of viewing and listening experiences is always possible.
Pirate Cinema from Berlin, who we are working with on the video archive
http://pad.ma, present a series of weekly (Sunday) events in the Pirate Cinema tradition, on films and footage.
Louis Malle, 1969

excursions out to sea, double-lives, afternoon-naps, bike-rides, water-wells, and more.
50 minutes
Two Footage Films, or How to make use of a Footage Archive.
Pad.ma invites you to
Rivers without Banks
at CAMP
27th December, 2013 through 27th January, 2014
Before the start of a new year; and among big and small resolutions for the future we chose to ask ourselves what is free cinema today, what is its political and perceptual economy, and what could we summon of its powers, before embarking on new journeys of making and thinking.
Rivers without Banks is a screening program of films whose durations extend beyond conventional length. But importantly, this is not a collection put together quantitatively, even as we may argue that the epic scales present in the chosen films carry the weight of histories, and put together chronologically show us a century where individual everyday lives face the annals of terrible power; where the human condition battles with nature and technology, with love and loss, with good and evil.
SUSPENDED :( Hope to be back in the near future
This season of projections at CAMP begins on weekend evenings starting Saturday, February 29, or leap year day.
A chronological viewing of 14 films beginning with Vertovs Man with the Movie Camera, and concluding with Farockis Parallel I-IV; The New Medium presents innovations in Cinema.
The film evokes the practice of the diary film, at once observational and reflexive, and draws power from its twin strategies of frugal economy and long duration. Screening & discussion with Renu.
Clips, edits, sirens and phantoms from the annotated archives pad.ma, indiancine.ma and related sites. An invitation to absorb, discuss, navigate and contribute new and old time-based media, in a weekly rhythm. To feel the ideas in them, and their potential in and as art, film, daily life, new theory and use. Without the frameworks of social media ;)
Home page is refreshed every Monday, older weeks remain as long-term references.

A roof-top venue that has been active since 2007, in this location since 2009.
Video project that takes us on new and recently rebuilt roads in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and India. Endoscopic views from the interior of the road system, and of the interfaces through which pride, money, data, climate, and vulnerability are connected to it, heighten our sense of developmental possibility, failure, and the deep ambiguity of road achievements.
‘A Passage Through Passages’ is a collaboration with anthropologists, and draws upon ethnographic and archival work in five field sites. This film is part of Roads and the Politics of Thought, a 5-year ethnographic study of road-building in South Asia.
The New Medium was a curated programme for the Mumbai International Film Festival for three consecutive years (2016-2018). The inaugural program - in a twisted art-historical mode - framed cinema as a new medium (125 years old, when compared to the other arts), and scoured the century of cinema chronologically...
A never-ending project housed at CAMP around peoples histories of Bombay-Mumbai.

A project of listening, including with our ears, to some materials that seem to not touch us directly, but make up our "environment".
