YOUR DAY IS MY NIGHT AND OTHER VOICES
DCTV Presents, YOUR DAY IS MY NIGHT and OTHER VOICES, at Northside Film

presents two experimental documentaries that recently had their World
Premieres at the MoMA Documentary Fortnight 2013: - OTHER VOICES, Sarah
Enid Hagey | 23 min | 2012, Other Voices is a short film about the
enigmatic life of plants and the people who love them. - YOUR DAY IS MY
NIGHT, Lynne Sachs | 64 min | 2013, Immigrant residents of a "shift-bed"
apartment in the heart of New York City's Chinatown share their stories
of personal and political upheaval. As the bed transforms into a stage,
the film reveals the collective history of the Chinese in the United
States through conversations, autobiographical monologues, and
theatrical movement pieces. Shot in the kitchens, bedrooms, wedding
halls, cafés, and mahjong parlors of Chinatown, this provocative
hybrid documentary addresses issues of privacy, intimacy, and urban
life. - The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Directors Lynne
Sachs and Sarah Enid Hagey, moderated by DCTV's Dara Messinger. -

ROBERT NELSON RETROSPECTIVE PROGRAM #4: BOAT GAME & ENTERTAINMENTS
$5 / The fourth in a series of tribute screenings to the late, great
Robert Nelson (1930-2012). After Chris Langdon's introductory Picasso
anti-tribute (starring Bob as Pablo), we'll see Nelson's earliest mature
work, and a damn bold debut, Plastic Haircut, which also features Steve
Reich's first tape piece, made specifically for this movie. Three of
Nelson's lesser-known and very rarely seen shorts make up the center of
the program, including an unusual collaborative work made with artist
Mike Henderson. The program will conclude with what is thought by many
to be one of the great American avant-garde films in cinema historyand
simply one of the funniest and finest works of art I've ever
experiencedthe one and only Bleu Shut. Picasso (1973)by Chris Langdon;
Plastic Haircut (1963), Limitations (1988), Worldly Woman (1973, with
Mike Henderson), More (1971/1998), Bleu Shut (1970) by Robert Nelson.
All works projected from 16mm.

MARIE LOSIER // FILMS-PORTRAITS // SÉANCE
RÉGULIÃRE DU CJC
EN PRÉSENCE DE LA RÉALISATRICE -
---------------------------------------------- - "La technique de
Marie est vraiment révolutionnaire. La plupart des documentaires
- et j'ai été dans beaucoup de documentaires, dans ceux de
Joy Division, Brion Gysin, Burroughs, Derek Jarman et dans toutes sortes
de choses - sont tous les mêmes : vous vous asseyez, on vous colle
une caméra sur votre tête et vous faites juste blah, blah,
blah, blah... c'est très ordinaire, et Il n'y a rien de vraiment
intéressant et de radical qui advient. Mais avec Marie il y a de
l'animation et elle réussie à vous faire porter les
costumes les plus ridicules et à faire ces choses bizarres qui au
moment où vous les faites vous font vous demander ce que
cela a à voir avec votre vie. Mais quand tout est
assemblé, c'est comme si Fellini rencontrait le documentaire.
C'est une façon très nouvelle et radicale de faire des
documentaires, et très honnêtement, je pense que la
manière dont Marie fait cela sera un modèle dans l'avenir.
Elle est complètement unique, très profonde et a un grand
sens de la joie et de l'émotion derrière son humour."
- Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, 2009.

FORMER SELVES: THE ANIMATIONS OF LESLIE SUPNET
Microscope Gallery welcomes Leslie Supnet in the U.S. solo screening
debut of her animated works. Since 2007, Supnet has used whimsical and
often surreal imagery to explore themes of sincerity, identity, race,
death, and the multiplicity of human emotion. She does this with
hand-made paper-cut puppets, computer software, and a second-hand
MegaPixel camera found at a thrift store. While often melancholic,
Supnet's animations are not without a sense of humour.

b&w Filmed in one continuous take from the back seat of a convertible
