>> White Light Cinema and The Nightingale Present, Michael Klier's DER
>> RIESE [THE GIANT] -- Encore Screening! - A Prescient 1983 German Film
>> Essay on Surveillance - Saturday, July 27 – 8:00pm, At the
>> Nightingale (1084 N. Milwaukee Ave.) - - Der Riese [The Giant] - Michael
>> Klier (1983, 82 min, Video on DVD, West Germany) - "Comprised entirely
>> of material generated by surveillance cameras, Der Riese is a rhapsodic
>> but ominous work depicting the world with a cold mechanical spirit. That
>> nothing can escape the chill stare of surveillance is only the starting
>> point of Klier's tape. People come and go in public places-parks,
>> department stores, banks, airports-like lifeless ciphers, unaware of the
>> authoritarian stare of the camera. The flattened field of vision,
>> black-and-white imagery, and sterile quality of the technology make the
>> inhabitants of Der Riese emptied shadows. They are the signs of life;
>> truly signs, not the flesh rendered in two dimensions. Lyrically
>> constructed sequences unfold to the strains of Mahler and Wagner, adding
>> an almost heroic mood to much of this dark work. But this is where Der
>> Riese excels-footage seemingly impervious to meaning here acquires the
>> energy of high drama. Even the unblinking eye of the surveillance camera
>> can be foiled." (Steve Seid, Pacific Film Archive)

>> Filmmaker Simon Tarr in person! Simon Tarr comes from South Carolina
>> with films and live cinema performance! Many Los Angeles premieres! Not
>> well known yet on the West Coast, Simon Tarr utilizes a full array of
>> methods to create his expressive media work. Sometimes he grabs video
>> glitches and renders them in one luxurious colorful whole; other times
>> he films fleeting moments in centers of world finance. He manipulates
>> found footage in completed works and live "remixes" that change the
>> meaning of the original work. It's a shame that we haven't hosted his
>> work in Los Angeles previously, and we're delighted to rectify the
>> situation. Be sure to come out and see the possibilities! Tickets: $10
>> general, $6 students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Available by

>> JEM COHEN PROGRAM 1
>> Jem Cohen has long-since established himself as one of the most gifted
>> and uncompromising of independent American filmmakers, creating a body
>> of work over the past 30 years that encompasses shorts and features;
>> Super-8, 16mm, and digital works; and documentaries, music videos, and
>> narrative films. Demonstrating both a preoccupation with music (and
>> other art forms), and a deep commitment to critiquing the excesses of
>> American society, he has worked at the intersection of culture and
>> politics throughout his career. Following on the release of his most
>> recent feature, MUSEUM HOURS, set to open in NYC in June, we present two
>> programs focused on his short films – one highlighting some of his
>> earliest works, the other showcasing more recent but still
>> rarely-screened pieces. Though his features have garnered a great deal
>> of (well-deserved) attention, these short works reveal another, equally
>> important dimension of his cinema. PROGRAM 1: SOME EARLY WORK BURIED IN
>> LIGHT 1994, 60 min, Super-8mm-to-digital video Music: Tom Cora, Ben
>> Katchor, Vic Chesnutt, Stephen Vitiello, Gabriel Cohen, and Knox
>> Chandler. A personal exploration of Central and Eastern Europe in a time
>> of massive change, the film consists of dispatches from Berlin, Prague,
>> Krakow, Budapest, and Dresden. Visual shortwave, jumbled dictionaries,
>> and the ghosts of Hitler, Stalin, and Disney. "When I traveled to
>> Central and Eastern Europe in '92 and '93, the euphoria surrounding the
>> dramatic changes of '89 had already faded. I felt that I had come just
>> in time to see Old Europe being carted off to the dustbin, renovated,
>> and welcomed into the international shopping mall network. With this
>> project, I set out to explore this fleeting juncture, and to capture
>> something of a world that seemed about to disappear. As a descendent of
>> Eastern European immigrants, my travels took on an added individual
>> significance." –J.C. JUST HOLD STILL 1989, 32 min, Super-8mm-to-digital
>> video This compilation was intended to work like a visual LP ('long
>> playing record') and was released with the following manifesto: "Where
>> documentary collides. Music video as independent film. Birds as
>> punctuation". Side A was called "The Heart is Attached" and consisted of
>> the following shorts: 4:44 (FROM HER HOUSE HOME) (1989, 3.5 min) A
>> certain kind of night collected: trees, houses, footsteps, and narrative
>> skimmed. In support of unsolved mysteries. NEVER CHANGE (1988, 4.5 min)
>> Filmed here and there, but mostly coming down one California mountain in
>> a quiet storm of film grain and fog. The text is a poem read by Blake
>> Nelson. LOVE TELLER (1989, 2.5 min. Made with Ben Katchor.) A 42nd St.
>> arcade machine and the science of the human heart. LIGHT YEARS (1989,
>> 4.5 min) Personal history, passing friends, and why does memory look so
>> much like Super 8? Side B was called "City Song" and contained the
>> following: CITYFILMS COLLECT (1989, 2.5 min, silent, b&w) Brief
>> photoplays from unrehearsed New York, including rare documentation of
>> the Motorcycle Christ. GLUE MAN (1989, 5 min) A collaboration with the
>> band, Fugazi, built around some troubling footage that I'd gathered from
>> Brooklyn windows, and some music the band was developing concurrently.
>> Video and song were intertwined, a shared deconstruction. Our intention
>> was to challenge the music video form on several fronts: creating a
>> piece that foregrounded documentary footage rather than pop conventions,
>> finding ways to meld images and music outside of the commercial stream
>> dictated by MTV and the record industry. In short, thinking about the
>> problem of when to avert one's eyes, while making a 'music video' with
>> nothing to sell. TALK ABOUT THE PASSION (1988, 3.5 min) In collaboration
>> with the band, R.E.M., my first (non) music video, with some images
>> borrowed from THIS IS A HISTORY OF NEW YORK. Concerns homelessness, but
>> it's also simply about counting and accountability. Total running time:
>> ca. 95 min.

>> EARLY MONTHLY SEGMENTS #53
>> Perceptual Intensities // Guest programmed by Michael Zryd Three films
>> rooted in real and resonant spaces that magnify the transformative
>> process of aesthetic contact between eye/ear/body and the matter/wave
>> forms of the world.A student film from David Bienstock's masters studies
>> at New York University, Brummer's takes its young couple through a
>> whirlwind of Godard, Technicolor, and breakfast. Peggy's Blue Skylight
>> is a loose and lovely romp through Joyce Wieland and Michael Snow's loft
>> in New York, shot originally on 8mm and transferred to 16mm colour stock
>> in 1985. The title comes from a jazz piece by Charles Mingus and Paul
>> Bley performs the soundtrack. The fifth film in Hollis Frampton's 7-part
>> Hapax Legomena, Ordinary Matter was also the last film of the series to
>> be completed, partly due to Frampton's ambitious original plan to have
>> the sound track consist of verbal descriptions by three women and three
>> men of Marcel Duchamp's Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating
>> Gas. The current soundtrack is a non-sync recording of Frampton reading
>> what he called the "Wade-Giles syllabary of the Chinese language," an
>> attempt to translate ideograms (idea-pictures) to phonemes (units of
>> sound). Frampton's description of the film gets us started: "A vision of
>> a journey, during which the eye of the mind drives headlong through
>> Salisbury Cloister (a monument to enclosure), Brooklyn Bridge (a
>> monument to connection), Stonehenge (a monument to the intercourse
>> between consciousness and LIGHT)… visiting along the way diverse
>> meadows, barns, waters where I now live; and ending in the remembered
>> cornfields of my childhood." Like Duchamp's posthumous installation,
>> Ordinary Matter is less about what we see (or think we see) than the
>> work of perception and consciousness as it swings between matter and
>> energy. As Frampton says in A Lecture: "This is where we came in."
>> Programme: Brummer's, David Bienstock, 1967, USA, 16mm, 10 min Peggy's

>> SARAH MALDOROR'S SAMBIZANGA
>> Sambizanga, Sarah Maldoror, 16mm, 1972, 102 mins - "Sarah
>> Maldoror's Sambizanga is a film about acting. In fact, the film was seen
>> to be so effective at mobilizing action that the Portuguese colonial
>> authorities banned it from being screened in their then province of
>> Angola. It was first seen publicly in Angola only after the country won
>> its independence in 1974. Based on a novel by Luandino Vieira, a
>> political prisoner of the Portuguese from 1961 to 1974, Sambizanga is a
>> fictionalized chronicle of the arrest and fatal imprisonment of a man
>> whose underground activities were an impenetrable secret to all around
>> him.

>> JEM COHEN PROGRAM 2
>> PROGRAM 2: PASSING THROUGH BLESSED ARE THE DREAMS OF MEN (2005, 9.5 min,
>> 16mm-to-digital video) Moving towards an unknown destination, a group of
>> anonymous passengers float through an unidentified landscape,
>> accompanied by a guitar piece from Andy Moor of the Ex. The film can be
>> seen as a curious parable made in a time of national malaise. It's
>> subheading refers to the Book of Daniel, Chapter 11, verse 40: "And at
>> the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the
>> king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with

>> out shooting for a different project, I encountered two sleeping men on
>> a Manhattan street. A short time later, I was standing in front of
>> Pennsylvania Train Station with the camera on a tripod when one of the
>> men suddenly reappeared. He stepped in front of my camera and began to

>> David Beard The 'correspondences series' films were made in
>> collaboration with photographer Christy Shigekawa. --- Andrew Lampert -
>> Working primarily in film, video, and performance, Andrew Lampert
>> pursues the alchemy between artist, art, and audience in a public space,
>> especially that of cinema. A trained film archivist, Lampert combines a
>> Duchampian attention to the gap between an artwork's private intent and
>> public reception with an appreciation for the contingency of film as a
>> medium, bringing unscripted and chance elements into cinema's veneer of
>> control. Reveling in cinema as a performative environment, Lampert
>> reclaims this space from a mass media culture to emphasize its potential
>> for immediacy and accident. Fern Silva - Is a former instructor for MONO
>> NO AWARE's workshop series and a alumni of MONO NO AWARE II. He has
>> created a body of film, video, and projection work that has been
>> screened and performed at various festivals, galleries, museums and
>> cinematheques including the Toronto, Berlin, Locarno, Rotterdam, New
>> York, Edinburgh, Images, Oberhausen, and Ann Arbor Film Festivals,
>> Anthology Film Archive, Wexner Center for the Arts, San Francisco
>> Cinematheque, MALI, BAM, ICA/Boston, and the Greater New York exhibition
>> at MOMA P.S.1. His work emerges out of travel and its various effects on
>> culture. As a personal artist with an interest in working against
>> conventional modes of documentary and narrative film-making, his work
>> often gravitates toward ideas surrounding mysticism and the deceptive
>> capabilities of memory. He was listed as one of the Top 25 Filmmakers
>> for the 21st Century in Film Comment Magazine's Avant-Garde Filmmakers
>> Poll, is the recipient of the Gus Van Sant Award from the 49th Ann Arbor
>> Film Festival and was nominated for Best International Short Film at the
>> 2012 Edinburgh International Film Festival. He received a BFA from
>> Massachusetts College of Art, MFA from Bard College and is currently
>> based in Brooklyn, NY and Chicago, IL where he teaches filmmaking at the
>> University of Illinois-Chicago. David Beard - " The greatest influence
>> on my visual works is 17 years of involvement in abstract and
>> experimental music, translating lessons learned in texture, rhythm, flow
>> and improvisation into visual language. I've performed and recorded with
>> the bands Kanovanik, the Real Perfections, and Acoustical Cave Band, and
>> collaborated with artists and musicians including Daniel Carter, Hanayo,
>> Firehorse the DJ, and Vox Populi (Paris). I see the camera first as a
>> tool to sharpen one's eye for the world, and secondly as a means of
>> sharing that perspective with others. My experimental films reflect
>> observation during 'free and easy wandering' and spontaneous decision
>> than more than meticulous planning. I view 'art objects' as the residue
>> of art in living. Other influences include over a decade of experience
>> working in the field of chemistry, daily life in NYC, and the regular
>> practice of internal martial arts. I am a 6th generation Men Ren in the
>> lineages of Northern Wu Taijiquan and Cheng Style Baguazhang under Frank
>> Allen (Wutang PCA). In addition to music and motion picture films, I am
>> also active in video, computer art and still photography. "
