  페스티벌의 25주년을
  기념하기 위해
  우리는 1988년 6월의
  마지막 주말을
  떠올려본다.
  페스티벌은 팩토리
  극장에서 4일밤 동안
  진행되었고 캐나다
  전역에서 온
  작가들의 51편의
  필름과 비디오
  작업을 4개의
  프로그램으로
  나눠서 상영하였다.

  페스티벌을 그
  출발점에서 다시
  돌아보기 위해
  우리는 페스티벌을
  창립한
  심사위원들과
  프로그래머들을
  초청하여 페스티벌
  첫 회에 상영된
  작품들 중에서 다시
  상영작품을
  선정하고 이에 대한
  대화를 나누었다.
  케머런 베일리는
  리차드 커의 작품 을,
  아넷 맨가르는
  프란시스 레밍의
  작품 을, 그리고 로스
  턴벌은 잰 피콕의 을
  선정했다. To celebrate 25 years of Images
  programming, we're looking back to the last weekend of June 1988. For
  four nights, the festival took over the Factory theatre and presented
  four programs with 51 films and videos by artists from across Canada. To
  help explore the origins of the Images Festival, we've invited founding
  board members and programmers to select and talk about the work from the
  first festival that had the most impact for them. Cameron Bailey chose
  Last Days of Contrition by Ricard Kerr, Annette Mangaard picked
  Orientation Express by Frances Leeming and Ross Turnbull selected
  Sirensong by Jan Peacock.

 BREAKING GROUND: 60 YEARS OF AUSTRIAN EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA - 4. FROM A TO

  Inspired by the first film images ever shot in La Ciotat to
  sophisticated references to Hitchcock, this program questions media, the
  passage of time and different technologies used to create moving images.
  From the horizontal to the vertical and at differing speeds, intensities
  or fluctuations, various modes of cinematographic dislocation are
  explored. And in doing so nearly every possible manner of moving from
  one place to another is employed, whether traditional or virtual. Works

  REVISITED (2005); MIR MIG MEN (2002); PERFEKT 2 (1982); FILM–AN EXERCISE

7:30 p.m., 10899 Wilshire Boulevard (intersection of Wilshire and Westwood Boulevards)

 BREAKING GROUND: 60 YEARS OF AUSTRIAN EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA - 5. CINEMA
 REVISITED
  Revisiting classical cinema in order to reinvent and create entirely new
  artistic visions is an attribute of Austrian avant-garde audiovisual
  production over the past twenty-five years, and it also represents a
  source of fascination for today's curious filmgoers. Here, images of
  Barbara Stanwyck are reappropriated, Anna Magnani's voice accompanies
  scenes of Italian suburbia, Mickey Rooney and July Garland are
  vivisectioned, Barbara Hershey is attacked by the apparatus, and the
  poetry of early cinema is resurrected in all its beauty in FILM IS. All
  this, in addition to material taken from hundreds of other sources,
  contributes to the creation of unique cinematographic languages. Works
  in this program include ALONE. LIFE WASTES ANDY HARDY (1998); BORGATE
  (2008); OUTER SPACE (1999); FILM IS. 7–COMIC (2002); MOSAIK MECANIQUE
  (Notes on Film 03) (2008); PICTURE AGAIN (2003); Zwolf Boxkampfer jagen
  Viktor quer uber den großen Sylter Deich 140 9 (2009); THE QUICK BROWN
  FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG (2009). Total running time: 81 min.

San Francisco, California: Artists Television Access
http://www.atasite.org/
8 p.m., 992 Valencia Street

 CONTEMPORARY VISUAL MUSIC
  The screening will demonstrate the diversity visual music. Visual music
  is an umbrella term for all kinds of things: music with a color organ or
  oscilloscope techniques, expanded cinema, music videos or animated
  films. This diversity has been further extended by developments in
  digital technology. A common denominator for all
 of the different
  techniques and formats is an evenly balanced combination of visual and
  acoustic elements. Curated by Cornelia and Holger Lund of the
  Berlin-based organization Fluctuating Images in cooperation with
  Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film
  (www.fluctuating-images.de).

3pm, 155 Freeman Street

 CHANTAL AKERMAN PRESENTS MICHAEL SNOW'S LA RÉGION CENTRALE
  La Région centrale, Michael Snow, 16mm, 1971, 190 mins,
  Introduced by Chantal Akerman - "You are here, the film is there,
  it is neither fascism nor entertainment." - Michael Snow - Chantal
  Akerman presents a screening of Michael Snow's La Région
  centrale, an important influence that opened her mind "to the
  relationship between film and your body, time as the most important
  thing in film." - "For La Région centrale, Snow had a
  special camera apparatus constructed...an apparatus capable of moving in
  all directions: horizontally, vertically, laterally, or in a spiral. The
  film is one continuous movement across space, intercutting occasionally
  the X serving as a point of reference and permitting one to take hold of
  stable reality. Snow has chosen to film a deserted region, without the
  least trace of human life....In the first frames, the camera disengages
  itself slowly from the ground in a circular movement. Progressively, the
  space fragments, vision inverts in every sense, light everywhere
  dissolves appearance. We become insensible accomplices to a sort of
  cosmic movement....He catapults us into the heart of a world before
  speech, before arbitrarily composed meanings, even subject. He forces us
  to rethink not only cinema, but our universe." - Louis Marcorelles,
  Le Monde - Tickets - $7, available at door. - Please note: seating is
  limited. First-come, first-served. Box office opens at 2:30pm.
