THIS IS NOT (A) CINEMA : MAGICAL END is a continuation of an artistic and curatorial project begun in 2019 and presented, among others, at the University of Roehampton and Whitechapel Gallery (London). It is an attempt to reimagine the changing contours of experimental cinema and artists' films, as well as the means of their exhibition.
Images and sounds for MAGICAL END have been captured during the residency at Light Cone/Atelier 105 in October-November 2023, with the support of the French Institute. It also contains fragments from other works which are recycled through MiniDV, in order to allow to see and hear the 19th arrondissement of Paris (where Light Cone is located) through original and borrowed images, without necessarily having to choose between the curatorial and the artistic.
Kira Adibekov, born in Moscow, is a curator and artist of Armenian origin based in London. He launched the GES-2 cultural center, organized a retrospective of Peter Nestler, Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub, and was jury member at the Berlinale Forum. His experimental films have been shown at goEast Film Festival, Cottbus Film Festival, and at IFFR. He is a former student of Chevening, a holder of Global Talent (UK), and Passeport-talent (International Recognition) in France.
