  BASEMENT MEDIA FEST
   Experimental Response Cinema and Farewell Books presents an evening with
   the Basement Media Fest, with curators LJ Frezza and Nicholas Tamburo in
   person! The Basement Media Fest is a survey of contemporary artists
   working with lo-def, lo-tech, and lo-fi motion picture techniques.
   Founded in response to hi-res commercial media and corporate-sponsored
   film fests, BASEMENT is a celebration of the mediated experience as
   aesthetic experience. Featuring work by Ben Balcom, Andy Birtwistle,
   Stephen Broomer, Alfredo Salazar-Caro, Chris Paul Daniels, Anja
   Dornieden & Juan David Gonzalez Monroy, Scott Fitzpatrick, N.

   Curated by LJ Frezza and Nicholas Tamburo. LJ Frezza creates video works
   of heavily edited found-footage and curates moving image programs for
   the BASEMENT Media Festival and Spectacle in NYC. He is currently
   pursuing his MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Nicholas
   Tamburo studied experimental filmmaking and photography in Boston, MA.

   He currently works at Momofuku Ko in New York City.

10/25
Greenbelt, Md: Utopia Film Festival
http://http://www.utopiafilmfestival.org/
12noon, Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Rd.;

  URBAN/RURAL LANDSCAPES 8TH EDITION
   Directors: Angus Carlyle, Rupert Cox, Ann Deborah Levy, Tomonari
   Nishikawa, Pat Doyen, Robert Robertson, Chris H Lynn Locations: Japan,
   China, Cuba, California, Louisiana 1. Doors of the Spirits (Robert
   Robertson, 2006) A procession of ancient and weathered doorsfrom the
   oldest district in Havana is counterpointed by the pathos of an old
   revolutionary song. 2.Kiatsu: The Sound of The Sky Being Torn (Angus
   Carlyle and Rupert Cox, 2010) "Kiatsu" is a collaboration between
   anthropologist Rupert Cox and artist Angus Carlyle. It draws on their
   experiences of recording the activities of the last farming family
   living within the concrete and steel infrastructure of Japan's largest
   airport, where noise - of taxiing and of take-offs and landings - exerts
   a constant pressure from before dawn until well after dusk. The work has
   also been informed by an extended collaboration with Professor Kozo
   Hiramatsu (the UK President of the Japan Society for the Promotion of
   Science), who participated in the second period of fieldwork and who has
   provided us with the perspective of acoustic science. 3. Rain Painting
   (Ann Deborah Levy, 2014) The landscape seen through car windows as
   "painted" by rain striking the glass. Three realities are represented:
   the landscape viewed through the window, the surface of the window with
   the raindrops, and the space inside the car. Each of the first becomes
   visible depending on where the camera is focused, the third is not seen
   but becomes present when the rain quiets and the sounds inside the car
   are heard. 4. Views from Jiangning at Night (Chris H Lynn, 2014) Figures
   and lights are reflected on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, China. 5.
   Sketch Film #5 Tomonari Nishikawa ( 2007,US, Super 8, silent, 18/24fps,
   b&w, 3 min.) All images had been shot at the site of Marin Headlands
   County in California. The footage shows the nature in the area, as well
   as historic buildings originally built for the US Army, including
   batteries and the Nike Missile Site 6.Another Louisiana Story, (Pat
   Doyen Super-8 film, silent, 6 min.) A journey through the swamps and
   wetlands of Louisiana. These areas are disappearing - an area
   approximately the size of a football field continues to slip away every
   hour. Greenebelt, Md Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Rd.

10/25
Los Angeles, California: Redcat
http://www.redcat.org/
7:30 pm, REDCAT, 631 West 2nd Street

  THE CHELSEA GIRLS
   Presented by REDCAT and Los Angeles Filmforum. Some died in lonely drug
   overdoses, some became controversial artists, some mysteriously
   disappeared , some had impressive careers in B-movies, some were
   faux-girls, exuding spectacular femininity (Mario Montez), some weren't
   girls at all, but inspired drama queens (Ed Hood), flamboyant
   philosophers (Pope Ondine) or bisexual lads in love with music (Eric
   Emerson), photography (Gerard Malanga), and their own bodies.
   Forty-eight years after Chelsea Girls' premiere, their bitchiness,
   exuberance, humor, and Edenic experimentation with drugs, sex and art
   explode on the split screen. On a Velvet Underground tune, these fragile
   divas of the 15-minute fame--Nico, Brigid Berlin, Ingrid Superstar, Mary
   Woronov--are forever young, glamorous, iconic and radically
   transgressive. $11.00 [members $9.00]

San Francisco, California: Other Cinema
http://www.othercinema.com/
8:30 PM, 992 Valencia St.

  KASHMERE’S FROM DEEP + DYEMARKALVA + MCGUIRE/ARTISTIC EXERCISES
   Part video essay, part a/v mixtape, From Deep looks at basketball and
   its profound role in American life—as an everyday street game, a force
   in fashion and music, and a platform for broader issues of race and
   class. Drawing imagery from neighborhood pick-up games, contemporary
   films, music videos, and broadcast sports footage, Brett Kashmere charts
   a history of the game over the last century, including its rapid
   cultural rise in the 80s with the global branding of Michael Jordan, its
   growing connection with hip-hop culture, and its expanding fan base.
   PLUS: Local lights Steve Dye and Alfonso Alvarez team up for their
   "immersive audio" In This Tunnel, a 16mm double-projection on the, yes,
   visual poetry of hand-processed sports films. AND Anne McGuire's
   evergreen Joe DiMaggio. At pre-show reception, double-tasking zine
   editor Kashmere also launches his next Incite issue!!

Los Angeles, California: Filmforum

7:30pm, 6712 Hollywood Blvd

  SONGS FROM THE NICKEL
   Alina Skrzeszewska in person from Germany! Los Angeles premiere! Sirens,
   screams, laughter, singing, bartering: these are the sounds sweeping
   into the rooms of Downtown Los Angeles' old forgotten hotels. Their
   inhabitants' stories tell of lives lived on the margins. Director Alina
   Skrzeszewska lived in one of the hotels for a year and a half, while
   shooting Songs from the Nickel. The result is a strikingly intimate
   portrait of people living in this largely invisible community.

10/26
San Francisco, California: San Francisco Cinematheque
http://www.sfcinematheque.org
7:30pm, Center for New Music, 55 Taylor Street

  MAKINO TAKASHI: SPACE NOISE
   Makino Takashi is one of the most prolific and adventurous filmmakers
   working in Japan today and is known world wide for his complex,
   immersive and overwhelming film experiences. Treating image and sound as
   elements of equal importance, Makino produces immense and infinite
   non-narrative and abstract film works, at once cosmic and organic, which
   activate the screening space in powerful and dynamic suggestions of
   depth and infinity. As part of a special West Coast tour, Makino Takashi
   appears in person to present and perform live soundtracks for two recent
   works: Space Noise, "a duel between the all-dominant immaculate digital
   and the irregular organic material dissolves in multiple layers of
   chaos," and Phantom Nebula, "a changeable ethereal gaseous mass with no
   definite form" (S8: Mostra de Cinema Periférico). Completing the program
   is a visitation from intergalactic travelers Rubber(()Cement—featuring
   A-Gene-Rack and the CIMEVOX 30084—scrambling the screening with the
   confrontational chaos of hi-speed electronic cardboard!

10/26
Tucson: Exploded View
http://explodedviewgallery.org
7:30, 197 E Toole Ave

  RADIO URUGUAY: MARK STREET’S HASTA NUNCA.
   Filmmaker Mark Street (Brooklyn) in person! EV is thrilled to present
   the work of longtime compatriot, Mark Street, an always adventurous and
   insightful filmmaker with a practice that spans from experimental film
   to re-invented documentary and narrative forms. Street's experimental
   narrative, Hasta Nunca follows Mario Ligetti, a middle aged hipster DJ
   who produces an underground radio show in Montevideo, Uruguay. On his
   show "Secrets and Stories", he invites listeners to share their intimate
   thoughts with him and a live radio audience. The film is the product of
   a close collaboration between Street and an Uruguayan cast and crew, and
   lead actor Rufo Martínez, a real life DJ and television personality.
   Shot in cinéma vérité style, Hasta Nunca takes a deeper look at one of
   Latin America's under represented countries, carefully touching upon
   local themes like the lingering effects of the dictatorship and the
   illegality of abortion. The film interweaves documentary and fiction,
   scripted narrative and improvisation, and is as much a portrait of
   Montevideo as it is the story of one of its chroniclers.

Brooklyn, New York: Microscope Gallery
http://www.microscopegallery.com
7:30 pm, 1329 Willoughby Ave #2b

  ROOM FILM 1973 BY PETER GIDAL
   Microscope presents the landmark structural/materialist work "Room Film
   1973" by English filmmaker and theoretician Peter Gidal. The 55-minute
   Room Film 1973 ­ which has influenced several generations of filmmakers
   and been described as "an important enlargement of the historical
   conception of modernism" by Malcolm Le Grice, "one of the best films to
   come out of the London School" by Jonas Mekas, and "a very important
   film because it exhausts all the ways of shooting forbidden in classic
   cinema: the out of focus, the dark, the repetitive, the blurry, the
   trembling, the intermittent
" by Nicole Brenez ­ is a reminder of how
   free and freeing filmmaking can be. It will be screened on its original
   16mm color format. Gidal says of the film "The work is not a translation
   of anything, it is not a representation of anything, not even of
   consciousness". PETER GIDAL was born in 1946 and grew up in Switzerland.
   After studying psychology and German literature at Brandeis University
   and the University of Munich, he enrolled at the Royal College of Art in
   London and began his career as an experimental filmmaker. In the 1960s
   his films were shown at such 'underground' London venues as the New Arts
   Lab in Drury Lane and the London Film-Maker's Co-op (which he helped to
   establish) in Chalk Farm. An admirer of American structuralist
   filmmakers such as Michael Snow and Hollis Frampton, Gidal's own works
   are also interrogations into the formalist aspect of film, with an
   emphasis on grain, duration, tempo and editing structures. [
] Along
   with Malcolm LeGrice, Peter Gidal is the foremost exponent of British
   structural cinema. He taught at the RCA from 1971 to 1983 and he remains
   active as ever as a filmmaker and theorist [
] His films were given a
   retrospective at the Pompidou Centre, Paris in 1996 and at the Lux,
   London in 1998. (from "Reference Guide to British and Irish Film
   Directors", Wheeler Winston Dixon) more info www.microscopegallery.com,

Austin, TX: Experimental Response Cinema
http://ercatx.org
8:00pm, GrayDUCK Gallery, 2213 E. Cesar Chavez

  UTOPIA VARIATIONS: GREGG BIERMANN IN PERSON
   A widely screened film and video artist who has been working since the
   late '80s, Experimental Response Cinema is excited to host Gregg
   Biermann, who will be in Austin to present a survey of work he completed
   over the last decade. Often working with footage from Hollywood classics
   like The Wizard of Oz (1939), Rear Window (1954), North by Northwest
   (1959), and others, Biermann's work takes advantage of the possibilities
   of digital cinema to advance rigorous compositional strategies.
   "My work comes out of the avant-garde tradition of film as
   visual art. Avant-garde cinema is an important and relatively young
   artistic project. While it maintains its scrappy integrity, and while
   many significant works have been created in subsequent decades, current
   practitioners have not fully moved out of the shadow of the prodigious
   1960s and '70s. The development of new tools has often determined
   aesthetic innovations. Consequently, I've looked to new technologies to
   discover vast unspoiled frontiers no longer available to small gauge
   filmmakers interested in exploring cinematic form. Most of these works
   could not have been achieved in earlier periods and are deeply rooted in
   digital technology. The meaning of digital technology lies in its
   ability to copy, alter, mask, fragment, super-impose, mutate, reflect,
   transmit and reframe." (Gregg Biermann) Details:

   exhibited and performed both nationally and internationally at such
   festivals as the New York Film Festival, Edinburgh Film Festival, and

   collaborative performances with sound artists and musicians. Andrew
   Scott is a New Zealand born Los Angeles based musician, artist & writer.

   Francisco-based filmmaker who often works with poets and musicians to
   create live cinema. He was seen in LA in October performing neo-benshi
   (live film narration) with other poets and film artists at Los Angeles

  GODZILLA ON MONSTER ISLAND + CHRISTIAN DIVINE/CREATURE FEATURE
   For this kaiju-crazed Halloween weekend in Godzilla's 60th anniversary
   year, we're unspooling a 16mm print of the most monster-dense of all the
   Godzilla titles! AND we're running the optical soundtrack through a
   sub-woofer for maximum mayhem!! This celluloid spectacular is considered
   the second-to-weirdest of the Goji filmography, with a kid's theme park
   as the main location, ludicrous human anti-heroes, and the only instance
   of the lovable behemoth talking! Introducing this sublimely ridiculous
   rarity is the one-and-only Christian Divine, our resident—yet world
   famous—expert on all films cult. Christian drops knowledge as heavy as
   Godzilla himself in an amazing amalgam of anecdote and analysis,
   following spooky cameos from Bigfoot and The Addams Family, and campy
   kaiju commercials. Free trick-or-treats and hot sake for Kevin Garcia
   and his obsessively collected action-figures. *8PM.

   BILL MACKEY’S REGRET AND RATIONALIZATION
   Regret and Rationalization is a piece that uses sound, text, drawing,
   photography, and video to explore and portray the human aptitude to
   regret and rationalize at the individual and community level.
   Individually, we process this loop of regret and rationalization as we
   travel through the landscape (what else is there to do as we drive our
   cars, ride our bicycles, or take the trolley?). Collectively, the
   stories, policies and the subsequent built environment are supported by
   a public process of regret and rationalization. Bill Mackey is the
   principal at Worker, Inc., a company that specializes in the production
   of architecture, exhibits, pamphlets, books, artworks and other
   ephemera. His main objective is to explore the psychological, cultural,
   physical, and political connections humans have to the physical
   landscape.

  MELIKA BASS: MYSTERIOUS GESTURES
   We welcome noted filmmaker Melika Bass from Chicago for her first solo
   show in Los Angeles. Bass presents the Los Angeles premieres of a pair
   of beautifully shot (on 16mm) and performed representational dramas,
   deliberately-paced, with finely noted details of objects and sounds, and
   narratives elusive and possibly allusive. Shoals and Waking Things are
   superb expressions of mood, wrought with portents of danger and disaster
   never seen. Each film investigates the rhythms and routines of an
   isolated small group of people, following a spiritual or cult-based
   practice. They are almost timeless portraits, with indications of being
   set in an unclear past, but Shoals also implies spaces of a potential
   present, and Waking Things that of a potential future. Come see Bass's
   unique explorations of the possibilities of short film art. Capped by a
   dance film directed by Bass commissioned by Sigur Rós for their Valtari
   Mystery Film Experiment. Tickets available in advance at
