ANIMALS OF ART A FILM BY PETER SEMPEL, SPECIAL ARTIST PREVIEW
PLEASE NOTE THE EARLY SCREENING TIME OF 6PM. Admission $6 - Artist in
person! We warmly welcome from Hamburg film-maker and photographer Peter
Sempel, for a special preview of his newest work "Animals of Art", which
recently screened at the Kunstverein (Hamburg), Volksbuhne (Berlin), and
Kunsthalle Emdem. This feature is a visionary collage of sound and
images featuring among others Jonathan Meese, Daniel Richter, Jonas
Mekas, Georg Baselitz, Yoshito Ohno, Peter Broetzmann, Antony & the
Johnsons, Shumann, Razorheads. ""Over 2 years I followed and explored
different worlds of art, starting and focusing more or less on German
artists, from old masters, moderns to young generation, f.e. Jonathan
Meese, Daniel Richter, Neo Rauch, Georg Baselitz, Volkmann, Bazon Brock,
Jonas Burgert, Kirchner, Runge, Degas, Goya. It also features a little
sequence with Raha Raissnia, painting in black, and Jonas Mekas telling
us about 1.000m-runnings…And, many animals, alligators, giraffes,
horses, donkeys, snakes, cats+dogs, andante….It's a big collage, like a
painting." - - P S. "Peter Sempel is my good film friend. We did two
movies together, JONAS IN THE DESERT and JONAS BY THE OCEAN. He has also
done movies on Kazuo Ohno, Nina Hagen, Lemme, and Flamenco. He has
developed a very unique, his own Sempelian form of a real life movie
musical and he is continuing filming non-stop." -- Jonas Mekas Brief
Bio: Peter Semple has been making films since 1981. He was born in
Hamburg and grew up in the Australian outback. He started making films
because of the music, especially Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave and
classical music (favourite record "Berlin" by Lou Reed). He carries his
films around the world and presents at festivals, special events, in
off-cinemas, discos and all kinds of places. In Germany his films are
distributed by Silver Cine, a small company in Hamburg. More info:

WALDEN
by Jonas Mekas 1969, 180 minutes, 16mm New print by Cinema Arts Inc.
Special thanks to Michael Kolvek, Fran Bowen (Trackwise) and Pip
Laurenson (Tate Museum). Filmed 1964-68; edited 1968-69. "Since 1950 I
have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex
and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York,
seasons of the year. On some days I shot ten frames, on others ten
seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shot nothing. When one writes
diaries, it's a retrospective process: you sit down, you look back at
your day, and you write it all down. To keep a film (camera) diary, is
to react (with your camera) immediately, now, this instant: either you
get it now, or you don't get it at all." –J.M. "I make home movies –
therefore I live. I live – therefore I make home movies." –from the
soundtrack.

JOURNEYS FROM BERLIN/1971
by Yvonne Rainer 1980, 125 minutes, 16mm Film Notes With Annette
Michelson, Amy Taubin, Vito Acconci, Cynthia Beatt, Ilona Halberstadt,
Vernon Gabor, and Yvonne Rainer. To explore the ramifications of
terrorism, Rainer employs an extended therapy session – in which an
American woman speaks to a series of psychiatrists – to evoke the daily
experiences of power and repression. "Rainer's film questions
duplicitous rehabilitation (psychiatric care/control), the efficacy of
radicalism, and conflicted political and personal motivations. … The
collage essay technique of JOURNEYS parallels the investigation of these
conflicts on a formal level. She weaves the stories of 19th-century
Russian anarchists; the staging of identity as it occurs in therapeutic
analysis, writing a diary, or preparing a meal; and the fate of the Red
Army Faction (Baader-Meinhof gang), which exposed the precarious and
enforced nature of West German democratic freedoms in the 1970s."
