  NEW WORKS SALON: BROOKBANK, MARIN, SWEENEY, TOSCANO
   The New Works Salons series is a casual forum for the presentation and
   discussion of new works in film and video, with local and visiting
   artists in-person to introduce their work. Nora Sweeney will show her
   new film Sweet Oranges (2014, 16mm, 18.5 minutes): ï¿1Ž2Heading west from
   my house, I explore the back roads off of California State Route 126,
   finding small, historic towns, farms, and railway tracks nestled between
   mountains and orchards - a landscape that evokes a dream of
   Californiaï¿1Ž2s past. Along the way, I meet Jaime, Blanca, and Hugo, a
   group of orange pickers from Michoacan, Mexico, who share with me their
   songs, dreams, aspirations, and thoughts about work.ï¿1Ž2 Ursula Brookbank
   will show Crystallography and the She World Archive: The principals of
   X-ray Crystallography used by biochemist Dorothy Hodgkin to study
   molecular structures applied to film projection. Ms. Hodgkin was awarded
   the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1964 for confirming the molecular
   structure of insulin using X-ray Crystallography where a crystal is
   gradually rotated while being bombarded with X-rays producing refraction
   patterns and molecular data for study. For this salon, recently acquired
   16mm film from the SHE WORLD ARCHIVE similarly becomes a light beam
   projected through gradually rotating crystals. Pablo Marï¿1Ž2n, in town
   from Buenos Aires, will show his brand new Angelus novus, and we'll have
   a selection of new items by Mark Toscano.
