Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Early Monthly Segments
http://earlymonthlysegments.org/
8:00 PM, Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen St W
EARLY MONTHLY SEGMENTS #54 = DEBORAH STRATMAN'S "O'ER THE LAND"
Early Monthly Segments is pleased to present Chicago artist Deborah
Stratman's "O'er the Land" (2009), an illuminating reflection on the
state of her nation. The film hinges on the account of the 48,000-foot
descent of pilot Col. William Rankin who was forced to eject himself
from his F8U fighter jet during a 1959 test flight. Storm buffeted,
without a pressurized flight suit and held aloft in the air currents for
a seeming eternity, Rankin miraculously survived to tell the tale. 50
years later Stratman shows us an America still at war and arguably in
free fall, obsessed with its permeable borders, bodies and the
technologies of destruction. Including documentation of border guards
and civil war reenactors, football players and flamethrowers, the film
deftly depicts the spectacular intersection of landscape and leisure
with masculinity, militarism and manifest destiny. Programme: O'er The
Land, Deborah Stratman, 2009, 16mm film, 52 minutes, sound + SHORT FILM
TO BE ANNOUNCED! @ Gladstone Hotel, Art Bar 1214 Queen St West Monday
August 19, 2013 8:00 PM screening $5-10 suggested donation Early
Monthly Segments is a monthly film series named after an early film by
Robert Beavers, and is inspired by the immediacy, vibrancy and
experimentation found in that film. Programmed by Scott Berry, Chris
Kennedy, and Kate MacKay this series features historical and
contemporary avant-garde films in a salon-like setting at the Gladstone
Art Bar. Thanks to The Gladstone Hotel. Website=

New York, New York: The New York Film-Makers' Cooperative

9:30PM, Soho House 9-35 Ninth Avenue
THE COUNTER CINEMA OF KEN JACOBS
Limited space, by reservation only: filmmakerscoop at gmail.com Films
include: "Disorient Express", "Jack Smith Tumbling" (from "Two Wrenching
Departures") and "The Green Wave" "When 2D films are designed to excite
3D seeing, a seemingly manic vibration may condition the action,
resulting in truly impossible sights. But then, how bizarre is the
premise of a 2-dimensional scene, anyway? It wasn't my idea to flatten
the visible world to a single insubstantial plane. Now look what happens
to the tobacco storefront when Jack does his prolonged dance in front of
it. And what of the sanctity of the movie rectangle, now forced to come
onscreen and do these twisty movements in depth when it was promised
quiet retirement to the sidelines forever?" –KJ, Organized by MM Serra
in collaboration with Soho House.

KAREL DOING: CITY SYMPHONIES
The films, performances and installations of Karel Doing deal with
elusive subjects such as music, rhythm, poetry, death, history and
memory. He works together with composers, musicians, performers, and
dancers. His films relate to the experimental film tradition and beyond.
He combines documentary techniques, found footage, and visual story
telling resulting in a style of his own. Recurring themes in his work
are: the relation between the cinematic image and music, the city as an
organism, intercultural dialogue, and motion picture film as a material
with a specific expression and vocabulary. He lives and works in London
and Rotterdam. For this program he presents three of his city symphony
works. Images of a moving city (2001, 35mm on video) is a documentary
poem about the city of Rotterdam, observing the people, roads, and
buildings that jointly determine the atmosphere of a continually
changing multicultural city. Liquidator (2010, 35mm on video) uses an
optical printer to transform a badly deteriorated print of Willy Mullens
commercial city branding film Haarlem from 1922. Palindrome Series
(2013, 16mm double projection) is a series of 5 short palindrome films
made at no.w.here lab in London, using a black and white processing
machine, a step printer, and ostensible useless materials (paper
cut-outs, artificial hair, discarded negatives, old newspapers). Karel
Doing is EPFC's August international artist-in-residence!

RE-INVENTING THE REEL
$5 / In February of 2012 Elements of Image Making began as a workshop
for the promotion of analogue film craft. It has become a monthly
meet-up/hang-out/nerd-out connecting those with something to learn and
those with something to teach. Operating non-hierarchically and without
agenda, Elements of Image Making is a vagrant Lyceum transferring the
alchemical secrets of the past via word of mouth to anyone seeking
initiation into celluloid film-istry. As the industrial interests that
historically sustained film production abandon us, we self organize and
defy irrelevancy- keeping film where it belongs, in the underground. To
celebrate Elements' one-year anniversary Re-Inventing the Reel presents
a survey of celluloid interventions honoring filmmakers that pursue
personal vision while pushing the constituent parts of the filmic
apparatus to the point of catharsis and transformation. With films by
Ben Popp, Abigail Severance, Will Bragger, Robert Schaller, Janis
Crystal Lipzin, John Woods, Michael Morris, Eric Stewart, Zach Van Joo
and more! Screening preceded by Re-Animated Gifs and works made at
Elements of Image Making.
