ANTONIO BUNT
Experimental Filmmaker
Check out the Cines Mutantes webpage where a group of experimental filmmakers from Mexico have a database where you can watch our work. Besides, here is our fanzine.
Between the 5th until the 9th September 2018, Mexico City was the host for the Encuentro de Laboratorios Independientes de Cine Analógico, which was an international gathering for several independent and artist-run film laboratories. We had people from all over the world: Austria, France, the UK, the USA, Australia, Italy, Portugal, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Canada even Russia and -of course- Mexico were represented in this great and interesting event that showed the health and impulse experimental cinema has nowadays. I had the chance to collaborate with the commemorative publication inspired by the late Hellen Hill's Recipes for Disaster, a legendary cookbook for experimental techniques in cinema. The idea came from Walter Forsberg.
He invited me to participate in writing about my project and here are some of my insights, pictures taken by Forsberg himself and the screening for The end of childhood.
German artist Manuela Johanna Covini interviewed me for her documentary. One of the results was this book: ART as a comfort zone MENTAL METROPOLIS series, 2015 where I appear quoted by the author.
In 2011, I was a member of the Photo Soup collective, based in London. An Imperfect Choice is the first published book. I participated with my favourite series Confinement.
