LET US TELL YOU WHAT WE HAVE FOR THE NEW YEAR
IN JANUARY
TELLS US ABOUT THE ARCTIC
Under a state of climate emergency, the Arctic has been on the spotlight in recent years. With the changes affecting the far north region, in 2014, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art presented an exhibition which staged an evocative account of a region that has fascinated and appalled us for more than two centuries. In Tells us about the Arctic, several people involved with the exhibition are interviewed.
OLAFUR ELIASSON: A
RIVERBED INSIDE THE MUSEUM
An interview of artist Olafur Eliasson for his first solo exhibition, Riverbed, at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in 2014. In ‘A Riverbed inside the Museum’, Eliasson shares his thoughts behind the installation that blurs boundaries between Natural and manmade worlds; something his artistic practice has became renowned for.
TONY WINDBERG: A
PAINTER IN THE WOODS
A portrayal of an artist immersed in his forest environment, from which he gathers materials to use back in his studio in a fascinating artistic alchemy. Tony Windberg: A Painter in the Woods is an Award winning documentary by German filmmaker Thomas Schumacher.
TABULA RASA
A co-production between Canal180 and Lovers & Lollypops, Tabula Rasa follows the journeys of different artists who go outside the traditional studio context to record their music in unexpected locations. The third episode features CZN, recording their new album in Porto with Abbey Road producer Leon Marks.
HIGHLIGHTING WORLDWIDE CONTENT
MUSIC IS OUR RADAR
The only television channel in the world featuring music videos for an audience interested in new music.
Broadcasting a wide range of music sessions, from a bar in Alabama, We Have Signal to dj sets all over the world with Boiler Room. We’ve also partnered with Yours Truly and Red Bull Music Academy to feature films about the new music scenes.
Canal180 develops original content to provide insight on a new generation of music video directors, the DIRECTOR ID series. The series was developed as a partnership with Pitchfork, that also included the interview series, Entrevista.
A PLATFORM FOR NEW ARTISTS
Canal180 spotlights the roots of contemporary creativity by highlighting the thoughts and ideas of artists worldwide. From a series produced by international publishing house Gestalten, to the architecture world of ArchDaily, digital interview magazine Avant/Garde Diaries, the community of visual storytellers of The Creator Class or profiling Chilean visual artists in Gabinete.
The daily broadcast of Canal180 originals 180 Meets and MAG offer a glimpse of the network of artists we build over the year.
HOME OF SHORT FILMS
Nowadays the increasing conformity of mainstream films create a bland cinematic landscape. Short form was always seen as a source of a more experimental approach to filmmaking.
Over the years, Canal180 broadcasted the work of filmmakers, such as Mike Mills, Sean Dunne or Vincent Moon and highlighted young filmmakers, whose films featured in international film festivals, such as Venice, Berlin or Sundance.
REALITY GIVES CINEMA POWER
Having this in mind, Canal180 always had a special place for the films that question societies pivotal topics. The body of work of director Andreas Johnsen, in films like Inside Outside or Good Copy Bad Copy, was an incredible starting point and offered a different point of view. Topics like the depiction of the life cycles of cities, in films like Atlanta From the Ashes or St. Louis Rises, or the micro societies within a city in The Tables and the discussion about The Future of Cities, offer a platform for alternative ideas about the urban landscape.
Delving into more actual topics like the refugee crisis in Welcome to Canada, Eyes of Exodus, making portraits of youth in Room For Change or Swindon, or taking the audience through the night of the US Presidential elections in Election Night, helps us create an identity based on an authentic point of view of young independent new voices.
Canal180 gives insight on social topics by amplifying creative independent new voices.
