  LA FLORIDA: PERSONAL HISTORIES OF THE SUNSHINE STATE
   Like the waves that continuously etch out the shape of Florida, the
   personal histories of its inhabitants etch out its identity. Since Juan
   Ponce de Leon stepped into its marsh in 1513 Florida has been a concept
   up for grabs. The documentary films in this program tell stories of
   people who by choice, force or coercion have made a claim to the idea
   and place the Spanish called La Florida. Award winning films by Georg
   Koszulinski (in person), Lisa Danker and Carl Knickerbocker begin at
   8pm. Q&A following the films. Come early for Robbins Barstow Florida
   vacation home movies (1973). $5 suggested donation. Saturday July 26th

   Weekend" - Saturday, July 26 - 3:30pm - Word/Language/Text - A

   words as building blocks of systems of meaning, or lack of meaning\;
   epistolary and autobiographical words\; big words and little words\;
   words as humor and as serious business. Words as words. Curated by

  THE COTABATO SESSIONS
   "The Cotabato Sessions is a full length music album and 30 minute short
   music film that features the music legacy of one family, the
   Kalanduyans, in Cotabato City, Mindanao, Philippines. It was a rare
   moment to be able to get together these generations of musicians in the
   family. The Kalanduyans are part of a minority Islamic tribe, the
   Maguindanaons in the Philippines who have been entirely relocated to
   Cotabato City and elsewhere after many decades of civil unrest in the
   south. This album and film capture the generations of men, women, and
   youth performing ritual music and its variations in the home of master
   artist Danongan Kalanduyan, in a procession, in the courtyard of a
   mosque and in the recording session of a concert hall." Susie Ibarra, a
   composer, performer and professor in music and advancement in public
   action at Bennington College and a TED 2014 Senior Fellow.

San Francisco, CA: Canyon Cinema

7:00pm, New Nothing Cinema, 16 Sherman Street

  CANYON CINEMA SALON WITH DOUG WENDT
   Join us Monday, June 30th at New Nothing Cinema for an evening with
   filmmaker and visual artist, Doug Wendt. Wendt, once coined "one of the
   most original and zany minds in underground film", will be presenting
   some old favorites along with several previously unseen and unreleased
   works. Given Mr. Wendt's comedic finesse, this event is certainly not to
   be missed! This event is FREE! - Doug Wendt: "I hesitated listing my
   new/unseen films in the standardized way since I've discovered in my own
   life and in teaching film history and media analysis that expectations
   often color works that deserve a completely fresh first viewing. The
   element of surprise is a reliable way to truly sense wonder. I succumbed
   to form to provide some orientation and official introduction. True
   cinema cannot be expressed in words. Its language must be seen. Its
   frame is not a Proscenium Arch. Often the best story is no story at
   all." - Tonight's 16mm Dancing Shadows via Doug Wendt - Some Erts (1995)

8 pm, 1200 N. Alvarado St.

  HEARKENINGS PRESENTS EDGAR G. ULMER'S THE LIGHT AHEAD
   "Audaciously adapted from the writings of 19th century Yiddish novelist
   Mendele Mokhir Sforim, The Light Ahead is the greatest of Edgar G.
   Ulmer's shtetl films. Here, the director counterpoints the pastoral
   Green Fields [1937] to criticize the poverty and superstition that
   oppress a pair of star-crossed lovers. Made on the eve of World War II,
   The Light Ahead is at once romantic, expressionist, and painfully
   conscious of the danger about to engulf European Jews."  National
   Center for Jewish Film (Dir. Edgar G. Ulmer, 1939, 94min). Preceded by
   two D.W. Griffith shorts: A Child of the Ghetto and Romance of a Jewess.
   16mm prints courtesy of the National Center for Jewish Film.

Los Angeles, California: Echo Park Film Center

8 pm, 1200 N. Alvarado St.

  THE FORGETTING OF OBJECTS AND TIDES
   The Forgetting of Objects is a portrayal of the in-between time and
   space at the filmmaker Daphne Rosenthal's set. Tiny touches, discoveries
   through the lens and the natural sounds of the room. It's a play between
   the filmmaker as a performer and the lives the materials desire to have.
   Rosenthal will also screen her short Him and Heran animation that sheds
   light on the isolation of both man and woman in a scene from The Man Who
   Knew Too Much (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956). Bertha Aguilar's Tides is a
   documentary exploring a hidden geography of Los Angeles through the
   sites in which three foreign and politically committed artists, Sergei
   Eisenstein, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Carlos Bulosan, worked and lived
   during the the decade of the 30's. FILMMAKERS IN ATTENDANCE!
