2/2
Brooklyn, NY: Union Docs
7:30, 322 Union Avenue
HASTA NUNCA: AN URUGUAYAN ODYSSEY WITH MARK STREET
Filmmaker Mark Street and Producer Uzi Sabah will be in attendance for a
discussion following the screening. - more info/tickets visit:
www.uniondocs.org - Preceded by short film, Mirano de Lejos, Como Desde
Una Colina. - Super8 B/W short film, With Enrique Guevara, Directed by
Uzi Sabah FantasmaBionico, 2012 - - Hasta Nunca follows Mario Ligetti, a
middle aged hipster DJ who produces an underground radio show in
Montevideo, Uruguay. On his show "Secrets and Stories", he invites
listeners to share their intimate thoughts with him and a live radio
audience. Mario re-negotiates his public and private personas during the
course of the film and enters into an extramarital affair with Julia, a
divorcee searching for a new artistic spark. - In this international
production (USA, Uruguay), wach call in to the show was written and
performed by local actors. Topics addressed in telephone conversations"
lingering affects of the military dictatorship of Uruguay, the
difficulty of obtaining an illegal abortion, and varied identity issues.
Ligetti's show is a modern rollicking "Miss Lonelyhearts", with its host
increasingly suffocated by the persona predicaments of his listeners. -
Shot in cinéma vérité style, Hasta Nunca reveals
Montevideo as a strong background character in the film's visual
landscape. Callers' voices on the radio provide an acoustic counterpoint
for an observational investigation of this ramshackle port city which
retains the architectural vestiges of its colonial past.
2/2
Los Angeles, California: Echo Park Film Center
http://www.echoparkfilmcenter.org/
8pm, 1200 N. Alvarado St. (at Sunset Blvd)
LANDSCAPE DISSOLVES: FILMS BY PAUL CLIPSON
San Francisco based artist Paul Clipson's heavily in-camera edited Super
8mm films utilize multiple exposures, densely layering images into
unexpected collages that to bring to light subconscious optical
obsessions. For this program he will show a suite of eight short films,
each with music by a different artist, as well as a live performance
with music by filmmaker/sound artist John Davis. Davis's sound
performance is an arrangement utilizing an eight-channel tape loop
system incorporating field recordings and processed electronic music.
John Davis is an Oakland-based artist and musician working primarily
with moving images and sound, whose work builds on the transcendental
nature of film in direct response to sound and music. Clipson works with
sound artists and musicians, often collaborating on films, live
performances and installations. Program: The Crystal Text (2012) with
music by young Moon, Chorus (2009) with music by Gregg Kowalsky,
Landscape Dissolves (2012) music by Alex Cobb, Light from the Mesa
(2010) music by Barn Owl, Absteigend (2012) music by Evan Caminiti,
Origin (2012) music by Che Chen, Speaking Corpse (2012) music by Jefre
Cantu-Ledesma, live tape loop performance by John Davis. All works shown
on Super 8.

Boston, Massachusetts: ArtsEmerson
http://ArtsEmerson.org
1:00 PM, Bright Family Screening Room at the Paramount Center, 559 Washington Street
SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY
ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Syndromes and a Century. In
this charming "memory film," Thai director Weerasethakul portrays an
imagined representation of his parents' romance in two parts. The first
is told from his mother's point of view several decades ago when his
parents would have actually met, and the second from his father's
viewpoint in a more present-day environment. The result is a stimulating
look at the nature of love, how it affects others, and how it endures
over time.

NEW 16MM FILMS!
Los Angeles Filmforum brings the 16mm show of the Ann Arbor Film
Festival Tour to Los Angeles, a great program of short films including
recent experimental, narrative, documentary and animated films from
across the US all in 16mm. Featuring two films from LA as well, and
multiple premieres in Los Angeles! The highlights are constant. Several
makers intensely deal with materials, sometimes of film, sometimes of
other sources (yarn or garbage or old film clips) to find their beauty.
Explorations of natural and intensely human-built spaces; abstractions;
fun and games; books and classic tales; pinhole lenses and the electric
currents on which our society runs – all come into play. Come see what
can be done in film – real living celluloid – today! Charlotte Pryce in
person! Tickets: $10 general, $6 students/seniors; free for Filmforum
members. Available by credit card in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at

by Roberto Rossellini In Italian with English subtitles, 1949, 85 min,
35mm, b&w (FRANCESCO, GIULIARE DI DIO) Francesco (St. Francis of Assisi)
comes back to Santa Maria degli Angeli from Rome, journeying with his
friars through the rain. When they are driven out of a hut, he begs the
brothers' forgiveness for abusing their obedience. While the monks are
finishing the chapel, Brother Ginepro arrives naked again and confesses
that the previous night he was tempted by the Devil. Later, he cuts the
foot off a pig to feed a sick brother. That evening, Francesco meets a
leper and kisses him. Brother Ginepro receives Francesco's permission to
preach and arrives at the camp of Nicolaio, the tyrant of Viterbo, whose
cruelty he overcomes with his perfect humility. Francesco teaches
Brother Leone that bearing injuries and blows is an example of perfect
joy. Francesco sends his brothers out to preach far and wide.

here that his early experimental period ends and his later mature period
begins.

7:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
BRUCE CONNER PROGRAM 1
Bruce Conner (1933-2008) was an artist whose astounding body of
trailblazing work across numerous mediums – film, drawing, sculpture,
and photography to name just a few – has long been celebrated in
cinemas, galleries, classrooms, and museums around the world. A puckish
iconoclast who adopted numerous styles and identities over the decades,
Conner never worried about audience expectations or settled into one
groove. He never stopped being completely unpredictable. To celebrate
Anthology's recently completed restorations of five of Conner's most
seminal films, we present two programs that feature brand-new and
pristine prints of key works alongside lesser-screened gems. 10 SECOND
FILM, REPORT, COSMIC RAY, MEA CULPA, and AMERICA IS WAITING have been
preserved by Anthology Film Archives through the National Film
Preservation Foundation's Avant-Garde Masters Grant program funded by
The Film Foundation. CROSSROADS was restored by UCLA Film & Television
Archive, and funded by the Conner Family Trust and Michael Kohn Gallery.
Special thanks to Michelle Silva and The Conner Family Trust. PROGRAM 1:
10 SECOND FILM (1965, 10 sec, 16mm) COSMIC RAY (1962, 5 min, 16mm) THE
WHITE ROSE (1967, 7 min, 16mm) BREAKAWAY (1966, 5 min, 16mm) PAS DE
TROIS (1964/2006, 8.5 min, 16mm-to-video. Edited by Bruce Conner.) A
rarely seen document photographed by Dean Stockwell of Conner shooting
BREAKAWAY with Toni Basil. LOOKING FOR MUSHROOMS (1959-67, 3 min, 16mm)
EASTER MORNING RAGA (1966, 10 min, 8mm) While Conner produced a digital
version of this work in 2008, we will be screening an original 8mm film
print. TAKE THE 5:10 TO DREAMLAND (1978, 5 min, 16mm) VALSE TRISTE
(1978, 5 min, 16mm) HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW (2006, 4.5 min, digital
video) Total running time: ca. 60 min.

8:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
ESSENTIAL CINEMA: RULES OF THE GAME
by Jean Renoir In French with English subtitles, 1939, 97 min, 35mm,
b&w, silent (LA RÈGLE DU JEU) "Detested when it first appeared (for
satirizing the French ruling class on the brink of the Second World
War), almost destroyed by brutal cutting, restored in 1959 to virtually
its original form, THE RULES OF THE GAME is now universally acknowledged
as a masterpiece and perhaps Renoir's supreme achievement. In the four
international critics' polls organized every ten years (since 1952) by
SIGHT AND SOUND, only two films have been constant: one is BATTLESHIP
POTEMKIN, and the other is THE RULES OF THE GAME. And in the 1982 poll,
THE RULES OF THE GAME had climbed to second place. Its extreme
complexity (it seems, after more than 20 viewings, one of the cinema's
few truly inexhaustible films) makes it peculiarly difficult to write
about briefly." –Robin Wood.

8:30pm, 631 West 2nd St., Los Angeles, CA 90012
JEAN ROUCH ON THE GOLD COAST JAGUAR (SHOT 1954–55, PREMIERED 1967)
PRECEDED BY LES MAîTRES FOUS (THE MAD MASTERS, 1955)
These two films compose a fascinating portrait of the dislocation
created by colonialism in Africa. Once controversial, but now an
anthropological classic, Les Maîtres fous (28 mins.) documents a Hauka
possession ceremony, during which the participants mimic figures of the
colonial power. With Jaguar (90 mins.), Rouch invented ethno-fiction, a
mix of ethnology and improvised narrative. A gallant public writer, a
shepherd and a fisherman—portrayed respectively by non-professional
actors Damouré Zika, Lam Ibrahim Dia and Illo Gaoudel—leave their
village to try their luck on the fabled Gold Coast (modern-day Ghana).
In Accra Damouré becomes a "jaguar" – a city slicker. As sync sound was
not available then, the three buddies jovially comment on the action
after the fact, observing that the Brits royally conned Africa out of
its gold.| Jack H. Skirball Series | $10 [students $8, CalArts $5]

Brooklyn, NY: Light Industry
http://www.lightindustry.org/
5:30, 155 Freeman Street
DAN GRAHAM'S MINOR THREAT + PETER ADAIR'S HOLY GHOST PEOPLE
Minor Threat, Dan Graham, video, 1983, 38 mins - Holy Ghost People,
Peter Adair, 16mm, 1967, 53 mins - A classic of ethnographic filmmaking
and direct cinema, Holy Ghost People documents the snake-handling rites
and other ecstatic forms of worship practiced by a rural Pentecostal
church in Scrabble Creek, West Virginia. Like thousands of other
"holiness churches" found in the Appalachian hills, the Scrabble Creek
congregation functions without a minister, stressing instead the power
of the Holy Spirit to guide each individual member. They also follow a
literal interpretation of the Bible, and grant particular import to a
specific passage from the Book of Mark: "These signs shall
accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons\;
they shall speak with new tongues\; they shall take up serpents, and if
they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them\; they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Their services
involve acts of rejoicing through dancing, chanting, spontaneous
preaching, speaking in tongues and—if any are called by the Spirit
to do so—ingesting Strychnine and handling poisonous copperheads
and rattlesnakes. - While the Scrabble Creek church may appear to be a
20th-century holdover of old, weird America, director Peter Adair (who
would go on to make the landmark gay lib documentary Word Is Out ten
years later) never condescends to his subjects, portraying them instead
as everyday people who discuss their faith with a casual forthrightness.
Indeed, the congregation's activities could be seen as a small-town
equivalent to the happenings and be-ins occurring elsewhere in the
1960s, and the droning sonic rhythms of the church—recorded, in
part, by Steve Reich—prove as potent as any contemporaneous
experiments in psychedelia. - Holy Ghost People is paired with another
document of ecstatic experience, Dan Graham's Minor Threat. Shot during
the development of Rock My Religion, Minor Threat serves as a B-side to
Graham's seminal video essay on the spiritual roots of American popular
music. The tape consists of seemingly raw concert footage of the
eponymous band at CBGB, altered mainly by the inclusion of a brief audio
interview with frontman Ian MacKaye. Unlike Rock My Religion, Minor
Threat is less an analysis than a witnessing. Graham depicts the event
as a tumult of male bodies leaping onto the stage and obscuring the
band, erasing any distinctions between performers and audience in a
continuous paroxsym of guitar-driven rhapsody. - Tickets - $7, available
at door. - Please note: seating is limited. First-come, first-served.
Box office opens at 7pm.

PROJECT ROOM: ANTONIO VICENTY
Project Room: February 6-May 1, 2013 Curated by Longwood Arts Project,
this exhibition is Vicenty's first solo exhibition of his recent
experimental film and photography. Inspired by his early childhood in
Puerto Rico where he visited funeral homes and walked cemeteries with
his family to bury their loved ones, he uses the props, images, visual
effects and photography from his infatuation with horror films resulting
in experimental photography and films that are eerie, mysterious and
scary, with elements of horror, fantasy, everyday fears and the
inevitable fact of death through artificial, surreal and dreamlike
means. Screening 5 short films in the big screen.

ALEXANDER MACKENDRICK: A CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
The esteemed director of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) and The
Ladykillers (1955), Alexander Mackendrick (1912–1993) was a pivotal
figure in the history of CalArts, and his work and writings remain a
major influence on contemporary narrative directors and screenwriters.
For this celebration of the artist's multifaceted contributions, Paul
Cronin (editor of Mackendrick's seminal book On Film-Making) is joined
by two CalArts alums, director James Mangold and author and filmmaker
F.X. Feeney. Together they honor the man who, as Dean of the School of
Film/Video at CalArts and throughout his more than 30 years of teaching,
shaped an institution and inspired generations of filmmakers. This
lively discussion reveals Mackendrick through personal reminiscences,
film clips and critical observations on his work as a filmmaker, teacher
and theorist. | Jack H. Skirball Screening Series | $10 [students $8,

MY MARS BAR MOVIE
by Jonas Mekas 2011, 87 min, video Share + Film Notes ENCORE SCREENINGS!
Premiered here at Anthology last spring, MY MARS BAR MOVIE, Jonas
Mekas's ode to the now-vanished but never-forgotten local dive bar, is
back for two encore screenings! Our neighbor ever since we moved to the
Second Avenue Courthouse building in 1988, the Mars Bar represented an
undiluted blast of the old East Village, keeping alive the punk
sensibility and anarchic attitude that are increasingly becoming things
of the past in this part of the city. Though its site has been occupied
by yet another glass condo building, the Mars Bar nevertheless lives on
through Mekas's lens! "For some twenty years, Mars Bar, at the corner of
First Street and Second Avenue, Manhattan, has been my bar. That's where
we went for beer and tequila whenever we had to take a break from our
work at Anthology Film Archives, and it was also a bar where most of
those who came to see movies at Anthology ended up after the shows. We
always had a great time at Mars Bar. It was always open, there was
always the jukebox, and very often there was no electricity, and it was
old and messy and it didn't want to be any other way – it was the last
escape place left in downtown New York. So this is my love letter to it,
to my Mars Bar. Mars Bar as I knew it." –J.M.

BRAZIL
ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Brazil. In this visually
riveting, mentally stimulating dystopian masterpiece, bureaucrat Sam
Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) finds himself tangled in a complex web of deceit
in which a series of terrorist bombings are falsely blamed on an
innocent citizen rather than the actual terrorist (played by the
brilliant Robert De Niro). In this futuristic, totalitarian society, Sam
quickly goes from being a loyal citizen of his country to being deemed
an enemy of the state. Channeling influences like George Orwell and Kurt
Vonnegut, famed director Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)
creates a frightening vision of a world gone wrong in an eerily
realistic fashion that has been hailed as one of the best films of the
1980s.

ZABRISKIE POINT
ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Zabriskie Point. Following one
of the student protests during the 1960s, a young man steals an airplane
and flies off into the desert. Unexpectedly, he meets a fellow traveler
on the journey and ends up falling in love with her. In this idyllic
tale of self-discovery, growing pains and young love, Italian director
Michelangelo Antonioni makes his only American film, providing a unique
outsider's perspective on the turbulent 1960s and the generation wanting
to form its own sort of utopia.

ONCE EVERY DAY
by Richard Foreman 2012, 66 min, digital video Share + Film Notes U.S.
THEATRICAL PREMIERE RUN! FOREMAN IN PERSON OPENING NIGHT! Theater
director Richard Foreman is an avant-garde legend whose exceptional
stage productions, videos, and writings have had a profound influence on
arts culture in New York City and around the world since the late 1960s.
ONCE EVERY DAY, his first feature film in 35 years, is a bold and
utterly mesmerizing work that pushes his entirely unique theatrical
vision into unexplored digital territories. Highly visual, complexly
edited, and without a conventional narrative 'story', ONCE EVERY DAY
nevertheless circles a secret theme as it zeros in on a group of 25
people acting out a series of semi-ritualistic behavior patterns. But
their eccentric impulses are aborted in unpredictable ways with each new
attempt at action or development. As the film cuts between colored
tableaus, bleached-out action sequences, expressionistic black-and-white
confrontations, and slow immersion in pure light, we repeatedly hear the
voices of the invisible director (Foreman) and his technicians,
whispering off-camera instructions and comments to the characters – who
are of course 'actors' as well as disturbed and inhibited human beings.
The implicit question of the film becomes: could this be life itself –
visibly re-making itself as art? The film was shot in Buffalo, NY as a
series of non-connected scenes with multiple performers over only 6
days, with 1 camera controlled by Foreman and 3 or 4 others free to film
whatever was transpiring in each room where filming took place. Foreman,
who edited the film for well over a year, calls the final result "a
time-mosaic of 're-formatted consciousness'". As in much of his theater,
the film continuously shifts back and forth between evoking (and
echoing) a very particular 'art-making' process, while sliding again and
again into ecstasy and radical, free-floating anxiety. A major step away
from his nearly annual stage productions at the Ontological-Hysteric
Theater, ONCE EVERY DAY embraces the total possibilities of cinema to
continually subvert expectations and tap into liminal states of
consciousness. "No one is better than Mr. Foreman at creating the sense
of a confounding universe out of joint and on a slick road to nowhere."

FAR FROM HEAVEN
ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Far From Heaven. In a tribute
to the "women's films" of the 1950s, writer/director Todd Haynes
produces a visually tantalizing and emotionally involved look at the
life of one '50s housewife in abnormal circumstances. When she finds out
her husband (Dennis Quaid) is having a homosexual affair, Cathy Whitaker
(Julianne Moore) realizes that, although she has the perfect veneer of a
happy life, she wants more. She seeks solace in the company of a black
gardener (Dennis Haysburt), and soon rumors about the two of them begin
spreading like wildfire. Providing a personal look at the racial and
sexual prejudices of the era, this modern reinterpretation of Douglas
Sirk's classic film All That Heaven Allows stands out with tight writing
and manicured visuals. Add in the acting talents of Viola Davis and
Patricia Clarkson, and Far From Heaven becomes an irresistible, tenderly
wrought tale of suppressed love and desire.

SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA
ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Swimming to Cambodia. Actor and
raconteur Spalding Gray delivers his acclaimed monologue Swimming to
Cambodia for the camera. Slipping in history and socio-political context
of the political turmoil Cambodia was experiencing at the time, Gray
recounts his experience as an extra on the Sam Waterston film The
Killing Fields filmed on location. A modern master of language and
story, Gray's riveting tale speaks to the power of storytelling and
importance of using the arts—theatre in particular—to bring about social
awareness.

THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents The Bride of Frankenstein. This
classic horror film directed James Whale returns to the Frankenstein
story with cast members from the original movie, including the legendary
actor Boris Karloff. Dr. Frankenstein and his monster are not, in fact,
dead as was implied by the end of the first film. They're back, and this
time the monster wants a companion. With the persuasion of Dr.
Pretorius, Frankenstein is convinced to create a bride for his monster.
The results are, of course, nearly disastrous. Featuring a haunting
score and cutting edge technology for the time, The Bride of
Frankenstein serves as a prime example of the classic horror film from
eras passed.

inter-media artists working in sound/film performance. All proceeds from
the show support Artists' Television Access, the San Francisco-based,
artist-run, non-profit organization that cultivates and promotes
culturally-aware, underground media and experimental art. Featuring
three film-music ensembles: Barn Owl and Paul Clipson Marielle Jakobsons
and John Davis John Davis, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and Paul Clipson BARN OWL
San Francisco-based drone duo Barn Owl (guitarists Jon Porras and Evan
Caminiti) follow in the footsteps of provocative avant-gardists Alice
Coltrane and Keiji Haino, while building on the doom metal foundation
planted by Black Sabbath. JEFRE CANTU-LEDESMA San Francisco-based
multi-instrumentalist (Tarentel, the Alps) and founder of Root Strata
label, Jefre's guitar beams directly down from Souvlaki Space Station
and arrives gorgeously mangled via modular synthesizer. Romantically
haloed chorus guitar floats widescreen across relentless static drum
machines until the sky splits open in the final movement, spilling
burning guitar fragments over everything. PAUL CLIPSON Paul Clipson
works primarily in film, video and on paper, often collaborating on
films, live performances and installations with sound artists and
musicians, projecting largely improvised in-camera edited experimental
films employing multiple exposures, dissolves and macro imagery that
bring to light subconscious preoccupations and unexpected visual forms.
JOHN DAVIS John Davis is an Oakland-based artist working with moving
images and sound, expanding their relationships through experimentation,
chance, collaboration and improvisation. Current performance work
investigates various sound and image delivery systems, their material
bi-products, and the range of sensory possibilities that exists between
them. MARIELLE JAKOBSONS The work of Oakland-based sound artist and
violinist Marielle Jakobsons focuses on experiences which are at once
"natural" and technologically-altered. She performs regularly across the
country in various musical acts: her solo project darwinsbitch, and in
her bands myrmyr and TrioMetrik, as well as many side projects and ad
hoc ensembles with friends and collaborators. Artists' Television Access
is a San Francisco-based, artist-run, non-profit organization that since
1984 cultivates and promotes culturally-aware, underground media and
experimental art. ATA provides an accessible screening venue and gallery
for the presentation of programmed and guest-curated screenings,
exhibitions, performances, workshops and events. ATA believes in
fostering a supportive community for the exhibition of innovative art
and the exchange of non-conformist ideas. ATA is located at 992 Valencia

MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL
ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Monty Python and the Holy
Grail. The Monty Python gang returns with a vengeance in their second
full-length (and arguably most beloved) feature film. King Arthur, king
of the Britons, assembles a motley crew of knights for his roundtable
and together they set off in search of the mythical Holy Grail.
Together, this horseless band of brave (and not-so-brave) knights wander
the English countryside, assured of their abilities to find the goblet
from which Christ drank—if that is the Holy Grail, at all. In this
quintessential mash-up of comedy, farce and history lesson, Monty Python
is at their most memorable, creating a classic that will last even
longer than the journey for the Grail itself.

unrepeatable mélange of discreet moments in a unique and carefully
randomized jam session. ABOUT THE ARTISTS: Jen Cohen's practice as a
video artist seeks to facilitate new ways in which digital technology
can contribute to our ontological experience. She is investigating this
possibility by creating video and sound works that are both performative
and sculptural. http://www.jencohenstudio.com guillermo gal*indog's (aka
Guillermo Galindo) artistic work spans a wide spectrum of expression
from symphonic composition to the domains of musical and visual computer
