Pere Ginard

A project that plays at being a bestiary, but also a diary, but also a tragic tale. Film made by manipulating Super8mm footage, Cinexin tapes and drawings without fate nor destiny.

"Concluding with a citation of French cinematic pioneer Gaston Velle’s 1904 film of the same name, Ginard’s darkly celebratory film presents an impressionist vision of rebirth and transformation" (sfcinemateque.org)

"Ginard recreates the myth of the villainous man who, in many cultures, is used by adults to frighten children and make them behave in a certain way. The monster does not have a distinct appearance, but simply is “a non-specific embodiment of terror,” the artist clarifies. The film combines images shot on expired Super-8 film, found footage, a sound collage of male gibberish and digitally corrupted noise, and a square black framing that at times spills its outer edges over the center of the imagery." - Mónica Savirón, Museum of the Moving Image

A precise stop-motion collage created from fragments of photographs, films, and illustrations presents impressive and sometimes horrific flashes of human and animal imagery, metamorphoses of bodies, and insect fantasies. The rhythmic visual composition is accompanied by a distinctive sound texture.

A series of comical and lyrical ghostly appearances captured by a Super 8 camera as a spectral catalyst and microscope.

A collage film composed of archival materials invites viewers to the depths of the seas and oceans to encounter the surreal world. The observer, who has taken a walk underwater, finds himself the object of intense scrutiny with growing unease. The film was made in collaboration with composer Raquel García-Tomás.

Film about ghosts (or fools or mimes or butterflies) inspired by the mystique of St. John of the Cross.

Dad is gone. Dad is a ghost. Dad is a thing ... spinning in his own skin.
