8:30 PM, Second Unitarian Church of Chicago, 656 W. Barry Ave.

 DEVOTIONAL CINEMA: NEW FILMS BY DORSKY, CLIPSON, AND TODD
  In his book Devotional Cinema, Nathaniel Dorsky argues how filmmaking
  can be a form of prayer, a rendering of unseen mysteries in our midst
  that can become for the viewer a kind of transcendent experience. His
  films are luminous testimonies of this belief, and his new films The
  Return (2011, 27 min., silent) and Pastourelle (2010, 17 min., silent)
  elevate visions of nature to ecstatic proportions. Other films on the
  program share a kindred spirit. Within (2011, 8.5 min.) by Robert Todd
  evokes a deep sense of mystery by capturing objects on the edge of
  perception. Union (2010, 15 min.) by Paul Clipson layers mythic images
  into a delirious incantation. (2010–11, 68 min. total, 16mm)

  Super 8mm film, bringing to light subconscious preoccupations and
  unexpected visual forms. Evan Caminiti (Barn Owl, Higuma) creates sound

  CHANGE OF LIFE (Mudar de Vida) Directed by Paulo Rocha. With Geraldo del
  Rey, Isabel Ruth, Maria Barroso; Portugal, 1966, 35mm, b/w, 90 min.
  Portuguese with English subtitles. The second and arguably most
  important film by Paulo Rocha (b. 1935), one of the central figures of
  the Novo Cinema, Change of Life is a direct response to Oliveira's Rite
  of Spring (and, indirectly, to Varda's Pointe Courte) and an important
  precursor to the radical documentary-shaped fiction of Trás-os-Montes
  and, much later, the work of Pedro Costa and Miguel Gomes. Part of THE
  FILMS AND LEGACY OF ANTÓNIO REIS AND MARGARIDA CORDEIRO, presented in
  association with the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Please note: The
  first three programs in this series will be presented by the UCLA Film &
  Television Archive on July 6, 7, and 9. Please visit their website at
  http://www.cinema.ucla.edu/calendar for tickets and more information for
  their screenings. This series has been adapted from a program curated by
  Haden Guest, director of the Harvard Film Archive. Program notes adapted
  from notes written by Haden Guest. Tickets: $10 general; $6
  students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Available at Brown Paper
