8 pm, 1200 N. Alvarado St.

 NOMADIC ARCHIVE: ABRAHAM RAVETT PRESENTS TWO WORKS BY TOM JOSLIN
  Hampshire college alumna and EPFC staffer Eve LaFountain and her
  professor Abraham Ravett will present two of Tom Joslin's works:
  Blackstar: Autobiography of a Close Friend from 1976, and the
  posthumously assembled work The Architecture of Mountains (2010). Ravett
  writes the following about the project: "Before he left for LA in 1981
  to pursue a career in Hollywood, documentary filmmaker Tom Joslin
  completed an innovative and, to this day, historically significant film
  called Blackstar: Autobiography of a Close Friend (1976, 85 minutes,
  color, sound, 16mm). It was one of the first autobiographical, diary
  format films that addressed the issue of gay identity and coming out to
  one's family. It's a beautifully made film, formally inventive, and
  still resonates on many fronts." When Tom passed away from AIDS, he left
  all his video tapes from another autobiographical project he had been
  shooting in LA to a former student named Peter Friedman who in turn,
  found the resources to construct the much acclaimed film, Silverlake
  Life: the View from Here. Prior to leaving Hampshire College in 1980,
  Tom was working on another film inspired by Jose Argüelles book, The
  Transformative Vision: Reflections on the Nature and History of Human
  Expression. Shot in sync and MOS on 16mm, the footage reflects Tom's
  interest in perception, human consciousness, and signaled his evolving
  interest in fusing non-fiction, experimental and dramatic genres. All
  the original materials for this unfinished film were stored at the LA
  home of Ken Levin another former Hampshire College student who, along
  with several other students, worked with Tom on this project, which he
  called The Architecture of Mountains (62 minutes). Ravett asked Ken
  Levin if we could use the footage as part of a class project. For the
  last two years, a small group of students and Ravett have shaped the
  material into a 62 minute film that is based on Tom's production notes,
  conversations with Tom's former students about the Architecture of
  Mountains project, and the Argüelles text. The primary editor is Ben
  Balcom. The version which would be screened tonight "is an attempt to
  construct what Tom may have wanted to do with this material as well as
  our own engagement and fascination with this footage." Following the
  sceerning, Ravett will discuss the consequences of creating such a
  "nomadic archive," as he calls this project. (text from UnionDocs)

8pm, 1515 12th Avenue

 LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE: EXPERIMENTAL ANIMATIONS BY JODIE MACK
  Jodie Mack's insightful, handmade films use collage to explore the
  relationship between graphic cinema and storytelling. Combining the
  formal techniques and structures of abstract/absolute animation with
  those of cinematic genres, her film work explores the tension between
  form and meaning.   Mack received her MFA in film, video,
  and new media from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007
  and currently teaches animation at Dartmouth College. Films screening
  tonight include Dusty Stacks of Mom, which interweaves personal
  filmmaking, abstract animation and rock opera in an animated musical
  documentary. More information about this event, including a full

7-9pm, Camera Club New York, 336 West 37th Street, Suite 206  

 SILVER AND DYE: PERSONAL CINEMA AND DIY PROCESSING
  As film enters into its final days, we will honor that fact by reveling
  in the rich history, beauty and magic inherent in the medium itself.
  Often associated with large studios, labs, and production companies,
  filmmaking at its heart was only for the most ambitious artist. By
  necessity, its early practitioners were forced to simultaneously play
  engineer, scientist, and director; with labs often built into their own
  basements. As time went on, specialization and the film industry as we
  have come to know it emerged, but outside of that, all the while the
  amateur filmmaker has worked on, continuing to assume all the roles
  needed to realize his own vision. This is a hands-on class that will
  both look into the makers of DIY filmmaking, and go in-depth into the
  steps needed to hand-process your own film. This class is 4 sessions (3
  two hour classes and one 5 hour processing workshop) with screenings,
  discussions, guest presenters, and film making lab time included. First
  3 sessions: Mondays, June 3, June 10, & June 17 from 7-9pm. Final
  session: Sunday, June 23, noon-5pm (4 sessions) Cost: $250 ($225 CCNY
  members) Materials Fee: $50.00 This class is limited to 10 students.
  Kenneth Zoran Curwood is an artist and filmmaker from New York. As part
  of his practice, he takes apart old movie cameras and projectors, and
  re-purposes them to photograph movies one frame at a time (DIY optical
  printing). He then processes the film in home-made chemical mixtures.
  Curwood's works have been shown at Anthology Film Archives, Canada
  Gallery, Union Docs, Louis V E.S.P., Heliopolis Gallery, and many other
  venues. He graduated with a BA in sculpture from the School of the
  Visual Arts. To see his work, go to his vimeo site.

 REMIX
  From the basements of samizdat film geeks to the more well lit purlieus
  ofThe Huffington Post, remix filmmaking has transitioned from oddball,
  obsessive tinkering to a central way our culture communicates. While its
  prevalence on sites like Funny or Die may give the impression remixing
  is a frat house gag, the form can contain a potent mix of the lyrical
  and the awe-ful, the sublime and the cloying, the progressive and
  regressive, the high and the low. Scratch video, mashups, culture jams,
  subtitle hacks, "uncreative" data, supercuts . . . tonight's selection
  of films will provide a range of historical and current examples, from
  art house classics to meme-generated, quasi-anonymous endeavors. Curated
  by Joe Milutis. Tickets:

 SHIFTING LIVES: PHOTOGRAPHING THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE IN CHINATOWN W/
 LYNNE SACHS AND ANNIE LING
  At this event, Annie Ling will present a slideshow of her photographs,
  with an emphasis on 81 Bowery, a project that explores the domestic
  experiences of immigrants in NYC's Chinatown. Filmmaker Lynne Sachs will
  screen her hybrid documentary Your Day is My Night followed by a joint
  conversation. For years, Annie Ling has worked on getting beyond the
  streets into the residences of Chinese immigrants in an exclusive
  Chinatown community. This desire was sparked by a love for the people
  there and a concern for their stories left untold. Ling had been
  documenting tenement buildings throughout Chinatown, New York, when she
  came upon 81 Bowery— a vestige of tenement flophouses inhabited today by
  Chinese immigrant laborers. 81 Bowery, one of the last standing lodging
  houses in New York City, has been home for more than a generation of
  immigrant laborers who work at construction sites and kitchens in
  Chinatown. Your Day is My Night 64 minutes | USA | 2013 | HD Video
  Chinese, English and Spanish with English subtitles In this hybrid
  documentary shot in New York, director Lynne Sachs utilizes the bed as
  both starting and focal point for inquiry into the personal and
  collective experiences of a household of immigrants living in a
  "shift-bed" apartment in Chinatown. Initially documented in Jacob Riis'
  controversial photography of the late 19th century, a shift-bed is a bed
  that is shared or rented in increments by people who are neither in the
  same family nor in a relationship. Since the advent of tenement housing
  in the Lower East Side, working class people have shared beds, making
  such spaces a definable and fundamental part of immigrant life. Over a
  century later, the shift-bed remains a necessity for many, triggered by
  socio-economic barriers embedded within the urban experience. In Sachs'
  film, seven characters ranging in age from 30 to 78 play themselves
  through autobiographical monologues, verité conversations and theatrical
  movement pieces. As the bed transforms into a stage, the film reveals a
  collective history of Chinese immigrants in the United States. The
  intimate cinematography and sound design suggest dreams and memories of
  the performers, inviting the audience into a community often considered
  closed to non-Chinese speakers. Through it all, Your Day is My Night
  addresses issues around privacy, intimacy, belonging and the urban
  experience via the basic human need for a place to sleep.

 THE OUTRé WORLD OF ROLF FORSBERG
  UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hugh M. Hefner Classic American
  Film Program present SATURDAY, JUNE 8 @ 7:30 P.M.
  http://www.cinema.ucla.edu/events/2013-06-08/outre-world-rolf-forsberg
  |THE OUTRÉ WORLD OF ROLF FORSBERG A true auteur of the often unjustly
  unsung genre of sponsored films, Rolf Forsberg has written and directed
  a number of highly stylized expressionistic shorts that defy simple
  description, including the controversial and acclaimed Parable (1964),
  which was named to the National Film Registry last year. While many of
  Forsberg's films were made on assignment for major religious
  organizations, his complex body of work is unexpectedly provocative,
  independent and experimental. Illustrating key influences, including
  Bergman and Fellini, Forsberg employs enigmatic symbolism and poetic
  lyricism to create vivid, nightmarish allegories situated between the
  spiritual and the secular, heaven and hell. UCLA Film & Television
  Archive is pleased to celebrate Rolf Forsberg's uniquely humanist canon
  with a selection of some of his most notable films and a conversation
  with the filmmaker himself.| PARABLE 1964 Dir. Rolf Forsberg, Tom Rook.
  Commissioned by the New York City Protestant Council of Churches for
  their 1964 World's Fair pavilion, Parable, with its European art house
  sensibilities, was highly controversial for daring to utilize allegory
  in depicting "Christ as a clown." Despite threats of violence and
  protests against the short, audiences and critics embraced the powerful
  work, with Newsweek proclaiming it "very probably the best film of the
  fair." 16mm, color, 20 min.| ANTKEEPER 1966 Filmmaker Rolf Forsberg's
  surrealistic allegory concerns an antkeeper that transforms his son into
  an ant in order to save an ant colony from self-destruction. Produced
  for the Lutheran Church in America, the experimental short showcases
  Forsberg's uniquely stylized vision as well as the pioneering
  macro-photography of noted nature cinematographer, Robert H. Crandall
  (The Living Desert). 16mm, color, 28 min.| ARK 1970 In this
  expressionistic precursor to the Sci-Fi classic Silent Running (1972), a
  modern day "Noah" cares for the last remnants of nature in a dystopian
  future. Produced for an independent production company, filmmaker Rolf
  Forsberg's prescient ecological warning was extremely successful in 16mm
  distribution to schools, churches and civic groups and enjoyed a brief,
  limited theatrical run in Los Angeles. 16mm, color, 19 min.| ONE FRIDAY
  1973 Filmmaker Rolf Forsberg focuses his humanist lens on race relations
  in this provocative, independently produced short that was marketed as a
  classroom film intended to generate group discussion. As a toddler roams
  an unnamed idyllic suburbia, Forsberg juxtaposes the beauty of nature
  against the brutal violence wrought by armed combat between the races.
  An earnest call for peace and reconciliation and, viewed today, a
  problematic time capsule of white anxiety regarding black militancy in
  the post-Watts-rebellion era. 16mm, color, 14 min.| IN PERSON: Rolf
  Forsberg.

 PSYCHIC SCULPTURES
  This evening features two sound performances by Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and
  Bill Kouligas accompanied by Super 8mm film projections by Paul Clipson
  and Rachelle Rahme. Shot and projected on Super 8 reversal, these
  original color and black and white films study figurative and abstract
  space, focusing on texture, color, and movement, sometimes within layers
  of dizzying in-camera edited montages. Much like a visual form of field
  recording, the films gather together landscapes vast and small, natural
  and artificial, to present a possible path into which one can interact
  with the lush, textural environments of Cantu-Lesma's and Kouligas's
  ambient/electronic soundscapes. Relying on counterpoint and coincidence,
  these sound and film performances merge sonic and cinematic processes to
  fuse together a unique sensory experience created by the eyes and ears
  of the audience. Presented with Control.

 SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS JOSH KIT CLAYTON
  In conversation, concept, and repetition, "Afterimage" by Josh Kit
  Clayton is an abstraction of cinema based in the matter of thought. A
  social zoetrope, it is a study on the transmission and persistence of
  idea as language shaping the machinery of the mind. The juxtaposition of
  discontinuities gives way to the illusion of motion as a means of
  reconciling separateness. And a life after the fact. Duplication.
  Degradation. Dispersal. "Afterimage" will include a reading component
  and discussion along with other exercises in pairs and larger
  structures.
