About
Beloff is a filmmaker who doesn´t just make films. Taken as a whole, Beloff´s recent work constitutes a sort of social archeology of cinema. She is particularly interested in excavating the social roots of cinema in the 19th century and reminding us that the dawn of cinema, one of its primary appeals was its ability to rescurrect images of the death. Beloff´s embrace of illusionism and allegance to apparently eccentric 19th-century spiritualist practices, sometimes causes her work to be overlooked by the proponets of a narrower avant-garde practice. by Chris Gehmann
