"Using a line from a 1970s folk rock song as a starting point and theme, this illustrated lecture performance takes a discursive and digressive look at divergent experiences of time. Attempts at reaching a state of utopic repose meet beatniks, 16mm film, slackers, Portuguese anthropologists, queer time, autistic perception, long exposure photography, anarcho-punk karaoke, and live drone tones along the way."
Mars da Silva Saude works with time-based media involving subjects such as marginal histories, speculative fiction, the landscape, counterculture, radical politics, and text(s). Their moving image work has screened at venues and festivals including Open City Documentary Festival, Experiments in Cinema, FLEX Fest, Analogica, Mimesis Documentary Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Torino Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, and artist-run labs and DIY project spaces internationally. Saude is a member of the Filmwerkplaats collective moving image lab in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, as well as BEEF in Bristol, UK. A Portuguese national raised in California, they currently work in Aberystwyth, Wales, where they tend Labordy Ffilm Aber and collaborate with the artist and musican MK Lord on projects in sound.
Earlier work is credited as Marcy Saude.
