Brooklyn, New York 11211: UnionDocs
http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=7552ff1099&e=4e65756555
7:00pm - 11:30pm, 322 Union Ave
CAMERALESS REMOTE DOCUMENTARIES WITH DOMINIC GAGNON, TIM JACKSON, AND STEVE HOLMGREN FOR NYC PREMIERE
"In his ongoing quest to explode the film frame, Dominic Gagnon's flurry of internet collage films not only cull the lonely, shocking margins of YouTube to captive us with pixelated self-representations of despair, anger, and survivalism, they also challenge the scope of copyright laws and question the definition of what constitutes cinema." - J.P. Sniadecki, filmmaker and anthropologist. UnionDocs is proud to present the NYC premiere of Dominic Gagnon's recent web trilogy - the films RIP in Pieces America (2009), Pieces and Love All to Hell (2011), and Hoax_Canular (2013) - Dominic Gagnon finds video excerpts on the Internet, which he describes as a cinémathèque or film archive, and recombines them to produce what he calls "films about people who film themselves." With this appropriation, he redefines what the found-footage film might become in the Web era, while raising the questions of the artist and of self-exhibition on the Internet. Without a camera and from a distance,
Gagnon adopts the position of hidden observer, anxious witness, and amused nomad - a foreign traveller to the worlds he visits. In an approach that is both postmodern and ethnographic and that bears traces of situationist influence, he captures the paradoxical character of subjects who make spectacles of themselves as they use YouTube to vehemently decry control by the society in which they live.

7:30pm, 992 Valencia Street
SPACE MATERIAL/IMMATERIAL PLACE: FILMS BY JEREMY MOSS
Working in a number of intersecting and overlapping genres—including dance film, speculative essay and rich alchemical, film emulsion-based abstraction—the film/video work of Pennsylvania-based filmmaker Jeremy Moss explores and interrogates bodies, identities and places shaped by rigid boundaries and porous peripheries. His films incorporate intricate and direct camera work that often emulates (only to subvert and deconstruct) such strict structures. A featured artist in Cinematheque’s CROSSROADS festival in 2013 and ’14, Moss appears in person to present a complete program (including local premieres) of his innovative body of work. THE BLUE RECORD—made with Erik Anderson—is a harrowing meditation on ruin-gazing, panoptic oppression and the experience of destruction as an aesthetic pleasure. THE SIGHT and CICATRIX (both created at Ontario’s famed Independent Imaging Retreat—aka “Film Farm”) ooze, bubble and rip with emulsive creationist impulses, while THOSE INESCAPABLE
SILVERS OF CELLULOID, an earlier contemplation of ideology and place, brings a prophet’s omniscient and culpable gaze to a desolate desert landscape of detritus and destruction. This program also includes a trio of Moss’ incredible dance films—CHROMA, *(un)tethered* and THAT DIZZYING CREST, each made in collaboration with choreographer Pamela Vail. Colliding movement and place, fused with masterful filmic form, these works create immersive new realms for the moving figure and offer tantalizing contributions to this rich, if neglected, film genre. Jeremy Moss in person. Admission: $10 general/ $5 Cinematheque members.

7:30pm, 155 Freeman St
THREE FILMS BY MARK LAPORE
The Sleepers Mark LaPore, 1989, 16mm, 16 mins “Memory, as well as the residue of information in text and film from Sudan, led me to make The Sleepers in order to resolve the impression that the third world is present in the first world as an idea and a condition. The Sleepers is a film about how notions of culture are often defined by information received indirectly—information that frequently violates the particulars of people and place and makes questionable one’s ability to portray specific individuals as representatives of culture. The Sleepers concludes with a description of an African girl cleaning up after a meal being read over the image of a red storefront in New York’s Chinatown. Time and space contradict, then collapse to suggest a new third world city; a city of the imagination, where rural Sudan, China and Manhattan exist simultaneously.” — ML The Five Bad Elements Mark LaPore, 1997, 16mm, 32 mins “The title of the film is mischievously cribbed from a gang of
troublemakers that appears in Chinese filmmaker Xie Jin's film Hibiscus Town but also hints at the biblical concept of The Seven Deadly Sins, of universal ingredients - the four elements - earth, water, air and fire. Bad elements can refer euphemistically to a criminal milieu, ‘the wrong crowd,’ as well as suggesting the antiquated medical notion of the circulating ‘humors’ that govern disposition and health. Going to the source of trouble was part of the filmmaker’s intent. LaPore: ‘I was more interested in who put those things into Pandora's box than I was in who let them out.’ ... Sound and image are subtly and rigorously counterpointed so as to fall into unnatural relations, blistering as they graze against each other and leaving a stinging afterglow of synesthesia and emotional voltage. By building the film on normally inadmissible evidence, telegraphed inferences, metaphoric leaps and omissions, damaged testimonies and scattered remains the film fabricates an impeccable
and elegant architecture from a materially incomplete and unsound body. In the fragmented corpus of human beings and continents which is The Five Bad Elements, LaPore has created a film which itself acts as an absorbent object, a kind of metastatic sin eater that aims at expiation through its own contamination, redistributing poisons into a netherworld that still clearly resides at the core of its own physical and visible existence.” — Mark McElhatten The Glass System Mark LaPore, 2000, 16mm, 20 mins “The Glass System, made from images shot in New York and Calcutta, looks at life as it is played out in the streets. Every corner turned reveals activities both simple and unfamiliar: a knife sharpener on a bicycle; a tiny tightrope walker; a man selling watches in front of a department store on Fifth Avenue; a hauntingly slow portrait of the darting eyes of schoolgirls on their way home; the uncompleted activities of a young contortionist. The sound in the film (which is from a
Bengali primer written by British missionaries) is a meditation on how the English language teaches ideas about culture which are often incongruous. The disjunction between what you hear and what you see evokes reflections about the impact of globalization and the hegemony of Western-style capitalism.” — ML

WIE MAN SIEHT (AS YOU SEE) ¬– IN MEMORY OF FILMMAKER HARUN FAROCKI SCREENING 7: ARBEITER VERLASSEN DIE FABRIK (WORKERS LEAVING THE FACTORY) AND GEFäNGNISBILDER (PRISON IMAGES)
Harun Farocki – the director whose perspicacious cinematic essays analyzed the new media world – died in July 2014. With his radical way of looking at things Farocki strove to endow images with their own form of self-will, to expose their political and cultural coding. Farocki lived and worked in Berlin as a filmmaker, artist and writer. His essay and observational films question the production and perception of images, decoding film as a medium and examining how audiovisual culture is related to history, politics, technology and war. Tonight: Arbeiter verlassen die Fabrik (Workers Leaving The Factory) (1995, 36 min., color and b/w, German with English subtitles. Digital.) and Gefängnisbilder (Prison Images) (2000, 60 min., color and b/w, German with English subtitles. Digital.)All films in this series are in German with English Subtitles, unless otherwise noted. For more event information: info at losangeles.goethe.org, or +1 323 5253388

REBECCA BARON: DETOUR DE FORCE
Los Angeles–based filmmaker Rebecca Baron is known for provocative essay films exploring such far-ranging subjects as Britain’s Mass Observation movement, 19th-century Arctic exploration, and the role of recording technologies in shaping our understanding of the world around us. Her latest film, Detour de Force, introduces viewers to the incredible world of “thoughtographer” Ted Serios—a Chicago bellhop who, in the mid-1960s, produced hundreds of Polaroid images through sheer force of mind. Baron screens the film with a selection of works from Lossless (2008, with Douglas Goodwin), a series of digital interventions—data compression, code removal—into video copies of classic American films with fascinating results. Presented in collaboration with the Video Data Bank. 2008–14, US, DCP and digital video, ca 70 min + discussion. Rebecca Baron (1968, Baltimore, MD) takes up the construction of history and the relationship between still photography and the moving image. Her work
has screened widely at international film festivals and media venues, including Documenta 12, Anthology Film Archives, Pacific Film Archive, Whitney Museum of American Art and the New York, London, and Toronto Film Festivals, among others. Baron is the recipient of a 2002 Guggenheim Fellowship and a 2007 Fellowship at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. She is currently on faculty at the California Institute of the Arts.

AN EVENING WITH ERNIE GEHR
A luminary member of the post-Brakhage generation of American avant-garde filmmakers, Ernie Gehr is today among the most influential artists working within, yet always reaching far beyond, the structuralist tradition that reinvigorated experimental cinema in the late 1960s and 1970s. Beginning in 2001, Gehr completely shifted his production from film to video while applying the same playfully rigorous curiosity to the digital as the cinematic, seeking to harness the very essence, however ineluctable, of the “new” medium. In this screening, Gehr presents and discusses his latest work on HD, including Photographic Phantoms (2013, 27 min), Picture Taking (2010, 10 min), Winter Morning (2013, 18 min), Brooklyn Series (2013, 8 min) and A Commuter’s Life (What a Life!) (2014, 20 min).

BLACK LIVES MATTER
Especially for Black History Month, the attention of the nation is focused on the endangered status of African-Americans. Recent events have brought into sharp relief a de facto second-class citizenship, and a decidedly unhealthy state of police relations. Addressing these dire issues is this diverse program of films both old and new: Kelly Gallagher’s Pen Up the Pigs (with Assata Shakur), Soda_Jerk’s Astro Black (with Sun Ra), Alex Johnston’s Now Again, and (an excerpt from) James Baldwin’s Hunter’s Point tour, Take this Hammer (1963), ALSO: original newsreels from Selma, vitalizing verite from Oakland protests, recent reportage from Ferguson, Mo, and inspiring work from Kevin Jerome Everson and Cauleen Smith.

THIS ISLAND EARTH: LIVE SOUND & FILM PERFORMANCE BY ASHLEY BELLOUIN, BEN BRACKEN AND PAUL CLIPSON
Ashley Bellouin and Ben Bracken make music with both traditional and hand made instruments that exploit the natural overtones and sympathetic vibrations generated by highly redundant tuning systems. Minimal structures and simple harmonic relationships give rise to meditative washes of sound. Each composition is constructed by considering the personal experience of a physical site, the materials used in the construction of the instruments, and the interplay between the two. Their performances are a mixture of the imagined and real, of natural phenomena, and direct action. Dual 16mm film projection by Paul Clipson. Part of the THIS ISLAND EARTH exhibition at Incline Gallery which opens on Friday, February 27 from 6-9pm, and features new works in sculpture, painting and film/video by Alexander Cheeves, Walter Logue and Paul Clipson.

RECYCLED CINEMA WITH ROGER BEEBE
Filmforum is delighted to welcome filmmaker philosopher Roger Beebe to our small confines with some of his expansive media works. With this show, Roger says "I’m thinking about all of these films and videos as being related—through some notion of “foundness”—to the detritus of multinational capital, whether that’s in the form of the built landscape of the strip mall and its omnipresent signage (The Strip Mall Trilogy, AAAAA Motion Picture) or a more fully “mediated” landscape of mass media representations (Historia Calamitatum, [sic] series, Dirty Harry and the Hendersons.) I’ve increasingly been thinking about the continuity between the found footage film and all the other kinds of films I’ve made, where even shooting feels like just another way of re-presenting the world as found.” The evening includes a live-scored two-projector performance of AAAAA Motion Picture, and also the dual-projector film TB TX Dance -- it’s gonna be quite a show! For more event information:
