RADICAL LIGHT: STORIES UNTOLD
Film Curator Kathy Geritz in person. The satiric, sensual, and striking
stories in this program represent some of the ways in which the tale can
commingle with the telling to produce oddly original offspring.
Featuring films by George Kuchar, James Broughton, Curt McDowell and
Anne McGuire. Radical Light: Alternative Film and Video in the San
Francisco Bay Area was curated by Kathy Geritz and Steve Seid (Pacific
Film Archive) and Steve Anker (California Institute of the Arts). The
tour is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Andy
Warhol and the William H. Donner Foundations.

THE HOLY BUNCH
6:00 PM THE HOLY BUNCH / THE BASIS OF MAKE-UP I by Heinz Emigholz Share
+ Twitter Facebook URL Film Notes THE HOLY BUNCH / DER ZYNISCHE KÖRPER
1986-90, 89 minutes, 35mm. In reaction to the death of a friend, a group
of artists begin to explore their collective past by perusing his
notebooks and their own artistic creations. Complexly structured to
shift between the past and present, scenes from life and scenes from a
novel, THE HOLY BUNCH simultaneously constructs and deconstructs the
role of art in the group's lives and its relationship to human spirit. &
THE BASIS OF MAKE-UP I (1974-83, 20 minutes, 35mm, silent) The films in
the BASIS OF MAKE-UP series constitute a compendium of Emigholz's
drawings and writings. "[These films] are the center about which my
feature films revolve. I imagine them as an intermezzo between the long
films, the database as an interlude. The paradoxical nature of film is
taken to an extreme: giving something that is taken away immediately."
–H.E. Total running time: ca. 115 minutes.

minutes, 35mm) "MISCELLANEA is the name I gave to films that have forced
themselves upon me wanting to be made during the course of my work on
other films – without a commission or funding debates. They are studies
on 35mm film and HDV. The films are vessels for collections of film
shots, footnotes, remarks, and references, to be regarded as vanguard
and memory." –H.E. Total running time: ca. 100 minutes.

l'illusion d'optique. La représentation mimétique et les
figures qu'elle engendre dialoguent avec l'abstraction pour proposer un
rapport au temps qui invite à la contemplation méditative. -

HELEN HILLS' THE FLORESTINE COLLECTION + JEREMY ROURKE + OC is honored
to host the NorCal premiere of animator Helen Hills' last film, The
Florestine Collection, a piece she was working on at the time of her
death. Helen was of course much loved in the film community for her
ingenious DIY aesthetic, advanced in her legendary book Recipes for
Disaster. With friends like Alfonso Alvarez (in person), Helen's husband
Paul Gailiunas was able to usher the half-hr. work to completion. ALSO a
whole bouquet of other (mostly new) animation, including Jeremy Rourke
in person, singing and playing guitar to his own shorts! PLUS Martha
Colburn's Anti-Fracking; Kelly Sears' Cover Me, Alpha; Jim Trainor's The
Bats; and Janie Geiser's Lost Motion. Come early for our season-opening

VITAL SIGNS: VIDEOS BY DANI LEVENTHAL
Dani Leventhal in person! We are delighted to host, for the first time
in Los Angeles, the videos of Dani Leventhal, including two world
premieres, Shayne's Rectangle and Tin Pressed! Whether peering into the
folds of an elderly woman's neck, surveying sidewalk vendors in Budapest
or the grooves of a chain-lock fence in upstate New York, or
investigating the matted feathers and fur of the many animals Leventhal
examines and sometimes dissects, her camera is inquisitive and
ever-present, a companion as much as a tool in the artist's unyielding
search for signs of life. Curated by Genevieve Yue. Screening: Draft 9
(2003), Show and Tell in the Land of Milk and Honey (2007), Hearts are
Trump Again (2010), 54 Days This Winter 36 Days This Spring for 18
Minutes (2009), Shayne's Rectangle (2011), and Tin Pressed (2011).

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: OLD AND NEW
by Sergei Eisenstein With Russian intertitles (English synopsis
available), 1929, 120 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent (STAROYE I NOVOYE)
Known also as THE GENERAL LINE, OLD AND NEW is one of Eisenstein's
least-known films. With it, he developed and perfected his theories of
"mise-en-cadre," using the montage of characters in the foreground and
background to conjure meanings, and "overtonal montage," bringing silent
film to its zenith.

SENSE OF ARCHITECTURE
SENSE OF ARCHITECTURE by Heinz Emigholz 2005-09, 168 minutes, video This
film showcases 42 contemporary architectural projects of Austrian
origins. As an independent work, it emerged from the material for 57
short films that Emigholz produced for the traveling exhibition (of the
same name) conceived in Graz. Unlike the exhibition, which grouped the
architecture thematically, this new film assembles the project into a
social reality in which modern buildings were constructed for all areas
of life.

BEATRICE GIBSON PROGRAM
SEPTEMBER: BEATRICE GIBSON Filmmaker in person! Beatrice Gibson is a
moving-image artist whose work skillfully employs strategies usually
encountered in the world of avant-garde music. Her deep fascination with
graphic notation, open scores, and other strategies of post-war
composition is employed to fascinating effect in these two exciting and
innovative works. A NECESSARY MUSIC, winner of the Tiger Award for best
short at the Rotterdam Film Festival in 2009, features the distinctive
voice of composer Robert Ashley, while THE FUTURE'S GETTING OLD LIKE THE
REST OF US includes an appearance by noted pianist John Tilbury, among
other actors known to British TV viewers. Gibson's carefully chosen
imagery and emphasis on spoken language have made her one of the most
distinctive filmmakers on the festival circuit today. A NECESSARY MUSIC
2008, 28 minutes, HD Video. Music composed by Alex Waterman; narration
by Robert Ashley. A NECESSARY MUSIC is a science fiction film about
modernist social housing. Treating the medium of film as both a musical
proposition and a proposal for collective production, A NECESSARY MUSIC
employs the residents of New York's Roosevelt Island as its authors and
actors, gathering together texts written by them and using them to
construct a script for the film. Casting seventeen residents to enact
these lines accompanied by a fictional narration taken from Adolfo Bioy
Casares's 1941 science fiction novel THE INVENTION OF MOREL, the film
deploys fiction as a tool to frame and activate its site. THE FUTURE'S
GETTING OLD LIKE THE REST OF US 2010, 48 minutes, 16mm-to-HD Video. A
16mm film conceived in the format of a TV Play and set in an older
people's care home. Part documentary, part fiction, the script for the
film was a collaboration with writer and critic George Clark and was
constructed from verbatim transcripts of a discussion group held over a
period of five months with the residents of four of Camden's Care Homes.
Taking B.S. Johnson's 1971 experimental novel HOUSE MOTHER NORMAL as its
formal departure point and employing the structural logic of a score,
the script is edited into a vertical structure, in which 8 voices or 8
monologues occur simultaneously. Total running time: ca. 80 minutes.

POLYPHONIQUES Séance présentée par Laurence Rebouillon et
Bernard Cerf Comment élaborer un travail sonore quand, par exemple,
certaines pellicules comme la Super 8 sont muettes ou quand le travail
en laboratoire artisanal ou le montage numérique supplante la prise
de vue et induit une animation au rythme particulier ? Ces contraintes
ou ces désirs incitent certains cinéastes à déjouer
l'attente d'une narration linéaire classique pour proposer une
expérience asynchrone entre image et son et créer ainsi des
films qui échappent à toute perception dogmatique et univoque
du monde qui nous entoure. - "Vestibule" de Ken Kobland - "My Room le
Grand Canal" de Anne-Sophie Brabant et Pierre Gerbaux - "Pur
