About the programme:

Gunvor Nelson (1931–2025) was an acclaimed Swedish experimental filmmaker who made the Bay Area her home for nearly four decades. Born and raised in Kristinehamn, Sweden, she originally came to California in 1953 to study art and art history, first at Humboldt State College, then the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI), and finally Mills College, where she earned an MFA in painting. Between 1970 and 1992, she taught at SFAI, where she influenced generations of filmmakers. In 1993 she returned to Sweden and shifted her practice from 16mm filmmaking to digital video.

Over the years, Nelson made personal films that explored her own life and experiences. She thought deeply and freely about film editing and about when to use sound or allow a film to be silent. She collaborated with Dorothy Wiley on five films, three of which are included in this tribute: Schmeerguntz, Fog Pumas, and Before Need Redressed. BAMPFA holds Nelson’s 16mm camera originals and copies of her films in our film vault. In 2019 My Name Is Oona was named to the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry.

Leif Elggren - Livet Döden Konsten Makten

Erik Pauser

2025, 01:00:08

Om kvällen:

Upplevelsen denna kväll börjar tillsammans med performancekonstnären Leif Elggren, vars konstnärskap präglas av en balans mellan humor och allvar – ofta med starka underliggande teman som makt, kropp, identitet, existens och det absurda.

I filmen som visas porträtteras hur Elggren ständigt ifrågasätter normer och hierarkier, och hur konst, makt, kropp och dröm samspelar i hans arbete – ofta med svart humor och en poetisk sensibilitet.

Denna kväll presenterar han sitt konstnärskap genom performance, dokumentärfilm och en utställning i Fönstergalleriet på Kolonin.

Vi inleder resan vid slutet av ån, med ett bubblande glas på Svea Bio Teater, där en performance framförs. Därefter visas dokumentären Livet Döden Konsten Makten, regisserad av Erik Pauser – ett närgånget porträtt av Elggrens konstnärliga resa över flera decennier.

Efter filmen följer en stunds eftertanke i form av ett samtal i form av konsert mellan regissör och konstnär, innan vi färdas vidare – genom forsar av intryck och upplevelser – mot det symboliska slutet av ån.Kanske når vi början av en sjö, där kvällen fortsätter på Kolonin med ett vernissage i Fönstergalleriet, där ett nytt verk presenteras och samtalet får fortsätta.

Vi bjuder in till konsert, ”Flyga utan mantel”, ledd av Klabbe Hörngren,Christian Cudra, Alfred Lorinius, Tomas Sandström där musiken blir ett flöde genom öron och ut i sjön.

Kvällen tonas därefter ut i samtal, fest, mat – eller kanske en stilla förundran över det du varit inbjuden till.
