ESQUIZOFILMIA
"As an experimental filmmaker, I want to have the freedom to physically manipulate film, using different hands-on techniques to change perception and time in the image and to play with ideas of unity and disunity. In my images, I do not want to work with facts linked to each other in a linear process, in which one event leads logically to another. I am interested in the 'crisis of truth,' the dreams, and the complications in
time and perception where the body is no longer motivated by linearity."
Eliane Lima, MFA /MA Art and Ideas 2012: San Francisco Art Institute, (San Francisco, 2012), 68.
"...My objective as an artist is to provoke critical thinking. As an instructor, I endeavor to support the entire process by transforming the classroom into a production event. To achieve the goal of making the learning process a progressive journey, I divide the student assessments between theory, discussion seminars, and production. In so doing, I strive to create a positive atmosphere that encourages collaboration and engagement with the subject. My aim is to fully support the learning process as I encourage students to become familiar with the combination of theory and practice in their field..." Eliane Lima, Teacher Statement 2013.
