1/7
Los Angeles, California: Filmforum
http://www.lafilmforum.org/
5:00pm, Cinefamily, 611 N Fairfax Avenue

 WALLACE BERMAN’S UNDERGROUND
  In person: Toni Basil, Tosh Berman, George Herms, Russ Tamblyn. In the
  mid-1960's, Wallace Berman inspired and communed with a close-knit
  circle of actors and artists, who screened their underground films
  domestically among a group of Topanga Canyon bohemians. These films were
  influenced by Berman's spiritualist and radically amateur concepts of
  art, that nevertheless thrived in the intersection among art, Hollywood,
  and the institutions of the semi-commercial underground. The evening
  will include several films made by the artists in this community,
  including the world premiere of Bruce Conner's edit of Dean Stockwell's
  film Pas de Trois!

1/8
Los Angeles, California: Filmforum
http://www.lafilmforum.org/
3:00pm, the Ahmanson Theater at MOCA Grand Avenue, 250 South Grand Avenue

 DANGEROUS IDEAS: POLITICAL CONCEPTUAL WORK IN LOS ANGELES, 1974-1981
  In person: Amy Halpern, Tom Leeser, Dennis Phillips. In the political
  hotbed of the 1970s, some artists merged conceptual approaches practice
  in video or film with their political concerns in an explicit manner.
  These artworks play with basic elements of media creation and
  perception, while at the same time addressing the troubled times covered
  by the MOCA show Under the Big Black Sun: California Art 1974–1981, This
  afternoon we'll primarily screen film work from that period, works
  viewed far less often than some more well-known works on video which can
  be viewed in the exhibition.

1/12
Los Angeles, California: Filmforum
http://www.lafilmforum.org/
6:30pm, the Ahmanson Theater at MOCA Grand Avenue, 250 South Grand Avenue

 STRANGE NOTES AND NERVOUS BREAKDOWNS: PUNK AND MEDIA ART, 1974-1981 
  Punk and the Do It Yourself aesthetic were born in the late 1970s. Most
  scholarship on punk film and video has focused on works from New York
  and San Francisco, but Los Angeles also was home to a rich scene of such
  media. In conjunction with Under the Big Black Sun: California Art
  1974–1981, Los Angeles Filmforum presents this amazing collection of
  rarely screened performances by punk bands of the era, performance art,
  and D.I.Y. works. We'll be seeing performances from the early days by
  the Screamers, X, Suburban Lawns, Black Flag, The Germs, Los Plugz,
  Johanna Went, and more.

1/12
San Francisco, California: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
http://www.sfmoma.org
7pm, 151 Third Street in the Phyllis Wattis Theater

 SHARON LOCKHART FILMS: PROGRAM 2
  Podworka, Sharon Lockhart, 2009, 31 min., video No, Sharon Lockhart,
  2003, 34 min., 16mm Podworka observes children in Lodz, Poland, as they
  transform parking lots, storage units, and other abandoned urban
  structures into centers of play. Views of a cold and traffic-weary city
  are brought to life through the children's creative vitality. Described
  as a landscape painting in real time, No captures the routine labor of a
  Japanese peasant couple as they methodically bundle hay and spread it
  out over a field. Lockhart's camera remains still and unchanging
  throughout, calling into question the relationship between photography
  and cinema. $5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission
  (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium).
