>  ROBERT NELSON
>   THE GREAT BLONDINO 1967, 42 min, 16mm. Newly preserved print; thanks to
>   the Academy Film Archive! "The original Blondino was a 19th-century
>   tightrope artist who among other feats crossed Niagara Falls trundling a
>   wheelbarrow. In this film, Nelson sees Blondino as a metaphor for those
>   who still try. Too subtle to be allegorical, the picture is in the shape
>   of a quixotic search in which the goal is the journey and the means is
>   the end." Museum of Modern Art "It is
difficult to get at the rich
>   visual texture that is the film's most striking attribute. Long
>   stretches are concerned with Blondino's visions, dreams, and dreams
>   within dreams. The film unfolds in brief recurring patterns of imagery.
>   Even the more straightforward sections are dense with interpolated
>   newsreel and TV commercial footage, visual gags, and homemade special
>   effects. The net effect is funny, seamless, and elusive." J. Hoberman,
>   "A Filmmakers Filming Monograph" & BLEU SHUT 1970, 33 min, 16mm. Newly
>   preserved print; thanks to the Academy Film Archive! "Boat-name quizzes,
>   dogs, cuts from Dreyer's JOAN OF ARC in montage with a sultry whore, a
>   car running up a ramp and crashing, pornography, a passionate embrace by
>   a thirties hero and heroine; all somehow implicating Dreyer and Joan in
>   the perverse synthesis of sex and technology. What's happening here?
>   Basically Nelson is leaving things unsaid." Leo Regan Total running

>  JAPANESE UNDERGROUND CINEMA: TAKAHIKO IIMURA
>   An experimental filmmaker and video artist in Tokyo and New York since
>   the 1960s, Takahiko iimura has a program from his early period in the
>   1960s produced in Tokyo. In the beautifully choreographed Anma(1963) and
>   Rose Color Dance(1965) by Tatsumi Hijikata, the founder of Ankoku Butoh
>   dance, as well as in Love(1962), Takahiko iimura transforms his camera
>   into an extension of his body.This was about the same time what Marshall
>   McLuhan called "The medium is a message" siting the medium as an
>   extension of the body, yet iimura realized his theory in the media
>   already in these films in Japan without knowing the theory bu McLuhan.
>   In Junk(1962), Love(1962), and Onan(1964), iimura improvises with
>   vanguard musicians Takehisa Kosugi, Yoko Ono, and Yasunao Tone, with
>   exhilarating results. Of Love Jonas Mekas reviewed as "a poetic and
>   sensuous exploration of the body." At the same time Love(1962) and
>   Junk(1962) have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo in the
>   60 years anniversary exhibition till January 14th, 2013.

>  L.A. FILMFORUM PRESENTS CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN: NEW VIDEOS OF THE PERFORMING
>  ARTIST
>   Carolee Schneemann in person! Filmforum is delighted to start 2013 with
>   a visit from the influential and fantastic artist Carolee Schneemann.
>   Schneemann, multidisciplinary artist, has transformed the definition of
>   art, especially discourse on the body, sexuality, and gender. The
>   history of her work is characterized by research into archaic visual
>   traditions, pleasure wrested from suppressive taboos, the body of the
>   artist in dynamic relationship to the social body. Schneemann has never
>   ceased to cross mediums and boundaries to make work that resonates with
>   raw poetic power. From her collaged war or diary films and provocative
>   performances to her photos, paintings and installations, Schneemann's
>   varied creations deconstruct our ingrained preconceptions and everyday
>   assumptions. In words, images and actions, her art is deeply personal,
>   sharply critical, intensely expressive, and always innovative. Tonight
>   we are primarily looking at recent video works that draw from or
>   document some of her performances. Her classic film Fuses will be
>   included in the screening Breaking the Plane, presented by Los Angeles
>   Filmforum at MOCA, on Thursday January 10 at 7:00 pm. For more
>   information and tickets, see www.moca.org. Currently in Los Angeles, her
>   early painting/constructions are exhibited in a group show at THE BOX,
>   "Painting" (how painting became performance). http://www.theboxla.com/

>   performance accompanying live synthesized video feedback. About the
>   Artists: John Davis works 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. Joshua Churchill's work
>   includes immersive site-specific sound and light installation,
>   photography, and experimental music/noise. His dynamic works compel one
>   to be critically aware of their surroundings by exploring the aesthetic,
>   emotive, and structural qualities of the environments in which they are
>   situated and/or are examining. Admission is free! Check out our Facebook

>  GO STARBOARD WITH MIKE KUCHAR
>   FILMMAKER IN PERSON! An icon whose renown reverberates well outside the
>   small world of experimental cinema, Mike Kuchar has been in constant
>   pursuit of his muse since his earliest days drawing and shooting 8mm
>   films in the Bronx. Bold hues illuminate artificial atmospheres in his
>   glamorously gleaming films and videos, all of which were made for
>   pennies on the dollar. Ambience in a Mike Kuchar film is as much of a
>   character as his lovelorn protagonists. Kuchar's attention to color is
>   similarly expressive, especially in the way he uses light to invest his
>   already ethereal images with deeper emotional and comical resonance.
>   This program brings together three new works with Anthology's recent
>   preservation of GREEN DESIRE, the filmmaker's second 16mm production
>   following his revered SINS OF THE FLESHAPOIDS. Two of the videos are
>   stunning pieces made with the students in his class at the San Francisco
>   Art Institute. They are without a doubt among the strongest works of his
>   lengthy career and should by no means be missed by Kuchar fans and
>   thrill-seekers alike. MELTDOWN 2012, 12 min, digital video. "Waiting to
>   live" and "Waiting to die" are the same thing
or is he just plain "Mad"?
>   STARBOUND 2012, 47 min, digital video. Dizzy "way out", "new age"
>   widescreen mayhem seethes within the walls of the Institute for
>   Metaphysical Research and Spiritual Wellness. GREEN DESIRE 1966, 20 min,
>   16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives through the Avant-Garde
>   Masters program funded by The Film Foundation and administered by the
>   National Film Preservation Foundation. A youth wanders the landscape of
>   grass and sky in search of puzzling impulses. GREEN DESIRE is an
>   exquisite and rarely seen example of Kuchar's masterful use of color,
>   texture, and tone. MIDNIGHT CARNIVAL 2011, 34 min, video. A
>   color-splashed mystery play about revelers at a masquerade ball produced
>   by Kuchar and his San Francisco Art Institute students. Total running
>   time: ca. 120 min.

>  AVANT-GARDE MASTERS: A DECADE OF PRESERVATION
>   AVANT-GARDE MASTERS: A DECADE OF PRESERVATION The Avant-Garde Masters
>   grant was created in 2003 by the National Film Preservation Foundation
>   and The Film Foundation to preserve American Avant-Garde cinema. Funded
>   by The Film Foundation, the program has helped save more than 100 films
>   in its first decade, making many works available to audiences for the
>   first time since their creation. Works preserved thus far run the gamut
>   from canonical classics to handmade efforts by artists deserving a
>   second look. All films were preserved through the National Film
>   Preservation Foundation's Avant-Garde Masters Grant program funded by
>   The Film Foundation. Special thanks to Jeff Lambert (NFPF), Christa
>   Grauer, Chicago Filmmakers, Patrick Friel, Gerd Stern (Intermedia
>   Foundation), David Joel (Larry Rivers Foundation), Mona Nagai & Jon
>   Shibata (Pacific Film Archive), and Silver Bow Art. Frank Stauffacher
>   NOTES ON THE PORT OF ST. FRANCIS (1951, 21 min, 16mm. Preserved by
>   Pacific Film Archive.) A poetic portrait of San Francisco narrated by
>   Vincent Price. Rudy Burckhardt THE CLIMATE OF NEW YORK (1948, 21 min,
>   16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.) Mid-1940s New York City
>   preserved in luminous black-and-white and saturated color. "Shows the
>   relation of New Yorkers to their monumental environment, their nervous
>   movement against the solid calm of their architecture, and the almost
>   impossible difference in scale between the two." R.B. Beryl Sokoloff
>   GAUDI (1962, 14 min, 16mm. Preserved by Silver Bow Art.) Sokoloff's
>   cinematic homage to the architect, Antonio Gaudi. The filmmaker
>   intertwines Gaudi's fantastic forms with the vital streets of Barcelona
>   creating a poetic tension and visual excitement. Tom Palazzolo HE (1966,
>   8 min, 16mm. Preserved by Chicago Filmmakers.) Men are strange
>   creatures. This film follows a few of them, including an Abe Lincoln
>   look-alike, and a nudist swimmer in January. Total running time: ca. 70
>   min.

>  ARTSEMERSON: THE WORLD ON STAGE PRESENTS: FREEDOM RIDERS
>   This harrowing documentary recounts the events from May to December
>   1961, when over 400 black and white citizens bussed through the Deep
>   South in protest of the segregation of travel facilities. Often met with
>   extreme prejudice and mob violence, what seemed to be a simple act
>   caused each protester to lay his or her life on the line to stand up for
>   racial equality. Many were brutally beaten and imprisoned for traveling
>   in this historic ride that challenged a nation. Released in honor of the
>   50th anniversary of the Rides, this empowering film based on Raymond
>   Arsenault's book Freedom Riders: 1961 and the Struggle for Racial
>   Justice shows the extent the freedom riders were willing to go in order
>   to establish equality for all.

>   commentary and transparency of his personal life, he quickly becomes the
>   most popular disc jockey in the metropolitan area. Set against the
>   turbulent background of the late '60s and early '70s, Talk to Me shows
>   an intimate and entertaining portrait of one man.

>  ARTSEMERSON: THE WORLD ON STAGE PRESENTS: AKEELAH AND THE BEE
>   Akeelah Anderson, a bright young girl with a gift for words living in
>   South Los Angeles, feels a little out of place. She has an undeniable
>   awareness of language, but doesn't want to be called a brainiac. Still,
>   against the wishes of her mother (Angela Bassett), Akeelah enters the
>   spelling bee, coached by Dr. Larabee (Laurence Fishburne), and earns a
>   spot in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Akeelah and the Bee is a
>   hopeful tale of the power of knowledge, the courage it takes to push
>   yourself far, and the community that is behind each success story.

>  ARTSEMERSON: THE WORLD ON STAGE PRESENTS: CAN WE TALK
>   This impressive documentary offers powerful stories from the 1970s
>   busing/desegregation crisis that changed Boston forever. Personal and
>   intimate testimonials infuse Can We Talk with their candor and raw
>   emotion: a bus driver who delivered children to schools and
>   neighborhoods that didn't want them; a resident of the projects whose
>   admittedly racist family refused to let her be bused to a school with
>   children of color; a parent who got involved in politics by accident
>   because of the forces of systemic racism that denied quality of
>   education and simple respect. This program features a discussion with
>   the Boston Busing Desegregation Project following the screening.

>  DO THE RIGHT THING
>   ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents: On the hottest day of the
>   summer in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, a series of small
>   misunderstandings in the colorful community eventually explodes into a
>   riot ignited by racial politics, prejudice and misinformation. With a
>   Korean grocery store, an Italian pizza parlor and a strong
>   African-American community as the background, the multi-faceted
>   characters perform sometimes startling actions that calls into question
>   what exactly the "right thing" is. Considered a masterpiece for director
>   Spike Lee, Do the Right Thing is bolstered by the acting talents of Ruby
>   Dee, Ossie Davis and Samuel L. Jackson, among others.

>   returns to New York City for a festival dedicated to his work, providing

>  MOTHER
>   by Vsevolod I. Pudovkin In Russian with no subtitles; English synopsis
>   available, 1926, 104 min, 35mm, b&w, silent Based on the novel by Maxim
>   Gorky. With the simple theme of a working-class mother growing in
>   political consciousness through participation in revolutionary activity,
>   this film established Pudovkin as one of the major figures of the Soviet
>   cinema. A student of Kuleshov and an admirer of Griffith's films, he was
>   writing his first book of film theory at the same time he was making
>   MOTHER. His expert cutting on movement and his associated editing of
>   unrelated scenes to form what he called a "plastic synthesis" are amply
>   demonstrated here. Although in direct opposition to Eisenstein's shock
>   montage, Pudovkin used a linkage method advanced far beyond Kuleshov's
>   theories.

>  MEDICINE FOR MELANCHOLY
>   ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents: Medicine for Melancholy. In
>   this internationally acclaimed and award-winning debut feature film by
>   director Barry Jenkins, 24 hours in the life of two African-American
>   twenty-somethings are shown with distinct humanity, vibrancy and heart.
>   What begins as a one-night stand neither truly remember bleeds into a
>   day neither of them will forget. Set against the monotone background of
>   San Francisco, the couple deals with the racism, gentrification and
>   prejudice the city can frequently offer, while experiencing the thrill
>   of new love in this modern urban romance. With as much heart as it has
>   substance, this independent film was a hit during the 2008 festival
>   circuit and became one of the most successful indie-flicks of the year.

>  THE ART OF VISION: HONORING STAN BRAKHAGE
>   With a lifelong devotion to filmmaking as a radical and resolutely
>   personal practice, Stan Brakhage (19332003) completed more than 350
>   films that explored cinematic vision as a means of poetic expression and
>   pushed the boundaries of cinema as art. Defying traditional film
>   language, his distinctive techniquesexpressive camera movement,
>   intricate editing, subtle superimpositions, photographic abstractions
>   and painting directly on the film surfacecontributed to a singular,
>   humanizing sensibility. Ten years after his death, Brakhage is
>   celebrated on the occasion of his 80th birthday with two programs of
>   major early works: a rare screening of The Art of Vision (196165, 255
>   mins.), his monumental and deeply meditative deconstruction of Dog Star
>   Man, and a second evening devoted to eight short masterworks newly
>   restored by the Academy Film Archive, from the seminal psychodrama
>   Reflections on Black (1955), to his landmark ode to subjective seeing,
>   Anticipation of the Night (1958).

>  STUART SHERMAN SOLO SPECTACLES
>   Sherman may best be known for his solo SPECTACLE performances, which
>   usually took the form of quick-paced interactions with everyday objects
>   over a tabletop. He created and performed eighteen SPECTACLES in total,
>   twelve of which he performed solo, and six with groups of collaborators.
>   A prominent theme of the SPECTACLES was Sherman's playful use of scale,
>   either in the amplification of small gestures and details, or the
>   miniaturization of theatrical spectacle. All works in this program will
>   be projected on video. TENTH SPECTACLE 1978, 30 min Sherman draws from
>   his supply of mass-produced objects and site-gags to enact portraits of
>   places ranging from Coconut Grove, Florida to Cairo, Egypt. TWELFTH
>   SPECTACLE (LANGUAGE) 1980, 32 min Plays with the syntax of common
>   objects, using familiar items such as telephones, balloons, and magnets
>   to stage rhetorical questions. SELECTIONS FROM THE ELEVENTH SPECTACLE
>   (THE EROTIC) AND EIGHTH SPECTACLE (PEOPLE'S FACES) ca.1979, 20 min Total

>   Kate Manheim in a series of choreographed skits. In NAME, each of the
>   performers takes turns wearing a top hat and spelling out famous names;
>   in PARTY, Manheim sets a table with four plates and noisemakers, then
>   methodically blows the noisemakers and trims off their tips with
>   scissors before ordering Brecht, Foreman, and Sherman to collect the
>   remnants. SEVENTH SPECTACLE 1976, 31 min In this group SPECTACLE, thirty
>   performers take turns drawing from a pile of props and creating absurd
>   vignettes with their chosen objects. Total running time: ca. 80 min.
