8/25
Baltimore: Sight Unseen
http://www.sightunseenbaltimore.com/
8:00pm, Current Space 421 N. Howard St. Baltimore, MD 21201
SIGHT UNSEEN PRESENTS: SCENE MISSING
Doors @7pm, films at dusk in the back courtyard of Current Space. Chairs
will be provided, but feel free to bring your own seating or blankets!
$7 general admission. All films featured on 16mm! SCENE MISSING exposes
the enduring tradition in experimental cinema of repurposing found and
original film footage. The medium is masterfully recycled by means of
chemical and optical manipulations. Frame by frame, the filmmakers'
devotion to celluloid involves an intensely personal quality and
handcrafted integrity. Emotional resonance projects through the
envisioning of ephemeral worlds, excavation of collective memory and
disruption of narrative artifice. The beauty of what is long gone or
recently passed is resurrected through unique film spaces that overwhelm
the senses. Including films by: Kenny Curwood, Kelly Spivey, Malic
Amalya, Moira Tierney, Luther Price, Lewis Klahr, Peter Tscherkassky,
Ryan O'Toole, & Phil Solomon. TRT: 88m. For more information on the
films, go to http://www.sightunseenbaltimore.com/ SIGHT UNSEEN is a
roaming monthly screening series showcasing experimental film, video,
and live cinematic performance. This series invites recognized pioneers
and emerging innovators of moving image media to participate in
screenings and performances throughout Baltimore. Programmed by Margaret
Rorison, Lorenzo Gattorna, & Kate Ewald and developed with support from
the Launch Artists in Baltimore Award.

7:30 p.m., 10899 Wilshire Boulevard (intersection of Wilshire and Westwood Boulevards)
BREAKING GROUND: 60 YEARS OF AUSTRIAN EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA - 3. CONCRETE
FORMS
Though the title doesn't mention architecture explicitly, this
discipline is omnipresent in all its diversity in both the
objectification of structures and descriptions of space. From the
Adriatic coast to California, utopian concrete masses take on a form of
their own, or even as humorous vehicles to sell shoes. Sound-driven
works, from a younger generation of collaborative audiovisual artists in
particular, accompany abstract and animated forms with vigor and
intelligence. Works in this program include QUADRO (2002); BESENBAHN
(2001); HUMANIC SPOT-WURFEL 1 (1971); HUMANIC SPOT-WÜRFEL 1 (1971);
VOID.SEQZ 5 (2009); HUMANIC SPOT-WURFEL 2 (1971); HYPERBULIE (1973);
RANDOM (1963); CHRONOMOPS (2004); HUMANIC SPOT-UND IMMER WEIDERDIE
WURFEL (1973); THE_FUTURE_OF_HUMAN_CONTAINMENT (2002); SEA CONCRETE
HUMAN (MALFUNCTIONS #1) (2001); MACHINATION 84 (2010). Total running
time: 90 min.

5:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
ESSENTIAL CINEMA: OCTOBER
by Sergei Eisenstein With Russian intertitles (English synopsis
available), 1928, 143 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent (OKTYABR) Eisenstein
celebrates the baroque in OCTOBER, as opposed to the Greek classicism of
POTEMKIN, disappointing contemporary audience expectations.
"Intellectual cinema" starts here.

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.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: IVAN THE TERRIBLE
by Sergei Eisenstein In Russian with no subtitles (English synopsis
available), 1942-46, 194 minutes, 35mm, b&w and color (IVAN GROZNY) "The
first time in history a man has committed suicide by cinema," quipped
Dovzhenko. A state-sanctioned production, Ivan's opulent furs and jewels
color the black-and-white machinations by a demonic Czar bent on making
his subjects' lives a living hell – a statement pointed with outrage
directly at Stalin.

7:00pm, Phyllis Wattis Theater
CINDY SHERMAN SELECTS FILM SERIES: KICK-ASS
In conjunction with SFMOMA's Cindy Sherman retrospective, the artist has
selected a few of the films that have shaped her vision. Reflecting a
wide spectrum of genres and eras, the works shown here highlight the
extraordinary range of her interests and influences. This week is the
final film in the Cindy Sherman Selects series, and she's going out with
a bang with this screening of Matthew Vaughan's 2010 film, Kick-Ass.
Based on a comic book, Kick-Ass follows the adventures of an average
teenager, who, without any real powers or training, dons an
Internet-bought green-and-yellow wetsuit and sets out to become a
real-life superhero. Along the way, he encounters fellow DIY superheroes
Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage) and his preteen daughter Hit Girl (Chloë
Moretz). Together they must ward off the evil of a local mobster and his
teenage son, Kick Ass's arch-nemesis. Ticketing costs are $5 general
admission; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a
free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium).

7:30 PM, Adler Planetarium, 1300 S. Lake Shore Dr.
STRANGE SCIENCE SERIES - CONVENTO
Co-sponsored by the Adler Planetarium. "Dutch kinetic artist Christiaan
Zwanikken resurrects the deceased local wildlife by reanimating the
skeletal remains with servomotors and robotic engineering. He breeds
these new species in a 400 yr. old monastery in a village in Portugal
that has been restored from ruins, to become his family's home, an
artists' workshop and nature preserve. Filmed entirely in Portugal,
Convento's camera is almost perpetually in motion, tracking through the
monastery and its landscape, transporting the audience into the daily
lives of these extraordinary people. Each family member simultaneously
nourishes the coexistence of art and nature, documented through a series
of connected micro-narratives." – SXSW (2011, 52 min.) Admission: $10
