In 2016, the CAMERIMAGE Festival<\/strong><\/span> was accompanied by four unique exhibitions:<\/p>\n \u2022 DAVID CRONENBERG “EVOLUTION”<\/strong>, Centre of Contemporary Art \u201eZnaki Czasu\u201d in Toru\u0144 \nDAVID CRONENBERG: EVOLUTION<\/strong><\/span> Exhibition organised and circulated by:<\/strong> TIFF, Toronto, Canada To read more click HERE<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and HERE<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Director David Cronenberg\u2019s<\/strong> reputation as an authentic auteur has been firmly established by his uniquely personal body of work which includes: Shivers, Rabid, Fast Company, The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, The Fly, Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, Crash, eXistenz, The Dead Zone, M. Butterfly, Spider, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, A Dangerous Method, Cosmopolis<\/em><\/span> and Maps to the Stars<\/em><\/span>. Frequently lauded as one of the world\u2019s greatest and most influential directors, Cronenberg\u2019s<\/strong> films have earned him critical praise and recognition internationally. In 1999, he presided over the jury at the Cannes Film Festival and was awarded the Festival\u2019s lifetime achievement award, the Carrosse d’Or, in 2006.<\/p>\n In 2006 David<\/strong> worked with the Art Gallery of Ontario as a guest curator for the exhibition, Andy Warhol\/Supernova: Stars, Deaths and Disasters, 1962-1964<\/em><\/span>. David<\/strong> created an innovative soundtrack audio guide with additional commentary by several of Warhol\u2019s<\/strong> contemporaries, including actor Dennis Hopper<\/strong>, film critic Amy Taubin<\/strong>, and artist James Rosenquist<\/strong>. In 2008, David<\/strong> brought his film The Fly<\/em><\/span> to the stage for the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Ch\u00e2telet and LA Opera. He debuted his own novel and first work of fiction, Consumed<\/em><\/span>, fall 2014. Recognition of Cronenberg\u2019s<\/strong> contribution to art and culture has included investiture in the Order of Canada in 2015, France\u2019s Order of Arts and Letters in 1990 and the L\u00e9gion d\u2019honneur in 2009. Cronenberg<\/strong> was made a Fellow of the British Film Institute in 2011.<\/p>\n The cinema of David Cronenberg<\/strong> offers one of contemporary culture\u2019s most unique, intriguing and powerful speculations on the idea of human evolution. Through the presentation of original artifacts, props, set pieces and dynamic audiovisual elements, David Cronenberg: Evolution<\/em><\/span> parallels Cronenberg\u2019s<\/strong> own growth as a filmmaker with his ongoing examination of human evolutionary possibilities. Divided into three major sections that follow the chronological and thematic trajectory of Cronenberg\u2019s<\/strong> cinema, the exhibition traces how Cronenberg\u2019s<\/strong> early fascination with the inner realms of body and mind \u2013 their drives, desires, and sometimes uncontrollable powers \u2013 develops into an exploration of the outer world that those forces help to shape. Immersively exploring Cronenberg\u2019s<\/strong> creative process, his relationship to science fiction and science fact, and his affinities with other major 20th-century artists, David Cronenberg: Evolution<\/em><\/span> celebrates not only one of the world\u2019s most acclaimed filmmakers but one of our most provocative and influential contemporary thinkers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JESSICA LANGE: UNSEEN<\/strong><\/span> Exhibition organised together with:<\/strong> diChroma photography, Madrid, Spain To read more click HERE<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The exhibition of photographs of Jessica Lange<\/strong>, world renowned actress best known for her performances in All That Jazz, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Tootsie, Rob Roy, Cape Fear, Blue Sky<\/em><\/span> and American Horror Story<\/em><\/span> TV series.<\/p>\n In 1967 Jessica Lange<\/strong> was granted a scholarship from the University of Minnesota to study photography, but the vicissitudes of student life led her to Spain and then Paris where she chose to put dramatic arts before practical photography. It was then that she embarked on her acting career, playing leading parts in numerous iconic movies and winning two Academy Awards for Best Actress for her roles in Tootsie<\/em><\/span> (Supporting Role, 1983) and Blue Sky<\/em><\/span> (Leading Role, 1995).<\/p>\n Not until later, at the beginning of the nineties (when Sam Shepard<\/strong> gave her a Leica M6), did Jessica Lange<\/strong> take up her photographic exploits again. Her images are captured on her travels and wanderings \u2013 her lens has roamed through countries such as the USA, France, Finland and Italy, although she has a particular soft spot for Mexico, as she herself puts it, \u201cfor its lights and wonderful nights\u201c.<\/p>\n The collection, bringing together 135 black & white photographs (including 12 contact sheets) taken traditionally over the last 20 years, is arranged into two series: \u201cThings I See\u201d and \u201cMexico, On Scene\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
