Caçuá, a word with Tupi (Indigenous Brazilian Language) origins, is a wicker or vine basket used to carry provisions. It’s also the title of Parisian-born, Rio de Janeiro-based violinist Nicolas Krassik’s fine CD with a choro trio and special guests.

OtherFilm presents from the UK…

Guy Sherwin and Lynn Loo Australian / NZ tour 2008 (Brisbane 7-9 August)

Like a blast of cinematic conceptual art, film artist Guy Sherwin’s hand-crafted films explore the elements of film’s grain, tone, flicker, sound, light and space. Beautiful, enigmatic, and sensual, these experimental films question our perception of ‘light moving in time.’ Together with partner Lynn Loo, Guy creates cinematic environments of incredible purity and beauty. OtherFilm regulars will be familiar with the awesomeness of the London Filmmakers’ Co-op, where Guy’s filming began. We are so excited that Guy will be here in a month’s time! If you’re into artists’ film do NOT miss the opportunity to see one of the great film artists on his first Australian visit!

Guy Sherwin Optical Sound DVD and Book available through OtherFilm Bazaar
