Galeria Superfície is pleased to present the exhibition Abstract Experimental Film in the 70s/80s. The show brings together a set of 10 unpublished films by artists Álvaro de Sá, Clóvis Dariano, Flávio Diniz, Frederico Marcos, Neide Sá, and Victor Gerhard, as well as a set of xerographies by the artist Rafael França.

The result of specific research around the production of abstract images in motion, the films selected for the exhibition range from 2:50min to 9min, and share the exhibition space with projects, film rolls, and equipment such as Super 8 cameras and projectors .

The films shown are some of the first explorations of this trend in Brazil, and contain a characteristic feature of avant-garde production: they are marked by a kind of plastic scientism, in which moving lines and geometric shapes form a true visual orchestration.
