OFFoff x Film Fest Gent – Films & Concert: Maximilien Luc Proctor + Two Nice Catholic Boys

In collaboration with Film Fest Gent, Art Cinema OFFoff brings out the 16mm and Super8 projector for an evening of analogue short films by the French-American filmmaker Maximilien Luc Proctor, including Seasonal Concerns (2024) and the world premiere of Aotearoa (2024). Proctor records oblique impressions with a sharp eye for composition and an intuitive sense of rhythm, gently arguing in favor of the minor and the fleeting. His films have been shown at Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) in New York, Spectacle Theater in Brooklyn, at Light Matter Festival in New York and Crossroads festival in the San Francisco cinematheque. 

The screening will be followed by a concert by Two Nice Catholic Boys ft. Antwerp musician Kathy Vanhout (Imaginary Sister). The band of Proctor and Ruairí McCann released a new EP last year on the independent label Bluestack Records. They combine rock and pop with an experimental approach to texture, structure and found sound. Proctor, McCann and Vanhout also represent three different generations of alumni of the Young Critics Workshop at Film Fest Gent. 

There will be a break between the film screening and the start of the concert.
