7 PM, 226 Green Street
MARK STREET'S (RE) TAKING OF PELHAM, 1, 2, 3 (X3)
With a live score performance from Bradford Reed and Geoff Gersh, this video & sound performance involves the side by side projection of three narrative films of the same title (made in 1974, 1998 and 2009). During the performance the sound will be mixed from each of the three films so that details are brought to the fore from each of the narratives. Live musicians improvise to the film(s) and mixed sound. Screened and compared in real time as a triptych, the original thriller and its two remakes reflect varying sorts of cultural anxieties, and views of the city. Walter Matthau’s (1974) hero is long suffering and wry in the face of a city covered in graffiti, while Denzel Washington (2009) inhabits a slick and sanitized metropolis.

FILMS FOR ONE TO EIGHT PROJECTORS: ROGER BEEBE IN PERSON
Filmmaker/curator/ professor Roger Beebe returns to Austin in January 2015 with a touring program of his multiple-projector performances that takes him to three corners of North America with an additional stop off in the Antipodes (Australia/New Zealand). The tour features several of his best-known projector performances (including the six-projector show-stopping space jam Last Light of a Dying Star) alongside recent award-winning work in single-channel HD video as well as the premiere of his latest multi-projector mayhem, SOUND FILM. These works take on a range of topics from the forbidden pleasures of men crying (Historia Calamitatum (The Story of My Misfortunes)) and the secret logic of the book of Genesis ("Beginnings") to Las Vegas suicides (Money Changes Everything) and companies jockeying to be at the start of the phone book (AAAAA Motion Picture). "[Beebe's films] implicitly and explicitly evoke the work of Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander, all
photographers of the atomic age whose Western photographs captured the banalities, cruelties and beauties of imperial America." -David Fellerath, The Independent Weekly "Beebe's films are both erudite and punk, lo-fi yet high-brow shorts that wrestle with a disfigured, contemporary American landscape." -Wyatt Williams, Creative Loafing (Atlanta)

DALLAS MEDIANALE PRESENTS ROGER BEEBE: RECYCLED CINEMA
The Dallas Medianale is proud to host touring artist Roger Beebe at Centraltrak on Monday the 26th of January as part of our program!Best known perhaps for his multiple-projector performances, filmmaker/curator/ professor Roger Beebe returns to the road in January 2015 for a four-month tour that takes him to three corners of North America with an additional stop off in the Antipodes (Australia/New Zealand). While this tour does feature several of his best-known projector performances (including the six-projector show-stopping space jam "Last Light of a Dying Star"), it places those works in the context of a broader practice of appropriation of educational/industrial/ mass cultural imagery. These works cover a range of topics from black athletes with Irish surnames ("Famous Irish Americans") and the secret logic of the book of Genesis ("Beginnings") to Las Vegas suicides ("Money Changes Everything") and companies jockeying to be at the start of the phone book ("AAAAA Motion
Picture"). The program also includes his most recent video, "Historia Calamitatum (The Story of My Misfortunes), Part II: The Crying Game," (award winner at a number of festivals including Chicago Underground, IC Docs, and Milwaukee Underground), which explores the forbidden pleasures of male tears. "[Beebe's films] implicitly and explicitly evoke the work of Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander, all photographers of the atomic age whose Western photographs captured the banalities, cruelties and beauties of imperial America." David Fellerath, The Independent Weekly

EXPERIMENTAL DOCUMENTARIES
Curated by Tova Beck-Friedman: films and videos about "place" whether rural, urban, historic and/or contemporary. Chris Bravo, IN HABITAT, shot at various sites of the Occupation movement in 2012, including Zuccotti park, Wall St, and on Occupied farm sites in upstate NY, this video is a response to the political interpretations of occupation, and investigates the intersections of different forms of occupation; Ann Deborah Levy, ON THE TRAIN TO KUTNA HORA…AND BACK, images of the Czech countryside, shot from train windows with a point-and-shoot camera, are transformed by changing weather and light and when overlaid by reflections at sunset; Ann Deborah Levy, SPECTATOR(S), caught by another “spectator’s” camera, visitors observe, enjoy, or ignore their surroundings — one of the world’s most infamous, yet beloved structures — as the memory of the spectators of antiquity casts a shadow; Ann Deborah Levy, RAIN PAINTING, raindrops, striking the car windows, “paint” the landscape
beyond in a variety of textures and moods as the camera documents three realities: the landscape outside, rain patterns on the window surface, and the space inside the car; Chris Lynn, SHIPS PASSING ON THE HUANGPU RIVER, images of ships recorded in the same location in Shanghai at different time periods from 2008 to 2013 drift in and out of the frame towards their unknown destination; Chris Lynn, AFTERNOON AT JIMING TEMPLE, an audiovisual document of an afternoon spent in a Buddhist temple in Nanjing, China where rhythm, light, and sound create a contemplative mood during high summer; and Leandro Listorti, MONTEVIDEO, the capital of Uruguay reveals, briefly, its characteristic of a Doppelgänger City: a single place cut in two spaces where two pairs of creatures explore the limits of the travelogue.

WIE MAN SIEHT (AS YOU SEE) IN MEMORY OF FILMMAKER HARUN FAROCKI SCREENING 3: VIDEOGRAMME EINER REVOLUTION (VIDEOGRAMS OF A REVOLUTION)
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: Videogramme einer Revolution (Videograms of a Revolution) (Dir. Harun Farocki & Andrei Ujica, 1992, 106 min. color and b/w.Romanian, English and German with English subtitles, Digital.) All films in this series are in German with English Subtitles, unless otherwise noted.

Cyclotrope Circus Jacquelyn Hebert, Megan Turnbull & Nathalie Coulson 2013 zoetrope installation Stom Sogo "Tastes Sweet First, Seizure Second" "Sogo's films are powerful and utterly unique works of sublime transportation and oblivion, not easily forgotten." -- Ed Halter Moving-image artist Stom Sogo (1975 – 2012) was born in Osaka, Japan and moved to the United States in 1992. He was a devoted experimental filmmaker who constantly renewed and manipulated his work across many media. His innovative, abstract investigations were always deeply personal and amazingly energetic. His untimely death in 2012 has resonated throughout the world and on the occasion of the 8th edition of the 8 fest, we will celebrate his legacy with an intimate selection of some of his Super-8 films preserved by Anthology Film Archives. "[A] movie's reality should be as nasty and fucked up as possible, so we want to get the fuck out of the theatre and hope for something better in life...I try not to have
a message or even word in my movie. But I usually have some sick stories behind each of the movies. Those are just mental eye candy that it tastes sweet first, seizure second." -Stom Sogo Programme: I Smell You, 2000, USA/Japan, 11 minutes, B&W, Super-8mm, silent Slow Death, 2000, USA/Japan, 16 minutes, B&W, Super-8mm, sound on CD Carrie at Still, 1998, Japan/USA, 28 minutes, B&W/colour, Super-8mm, sound on CD Canadiana programme (sponsored by FADO – logo needed.

Please note that there is a $ 25.00 fee for participation In this workshop, local Super 8 filmmaker John Porter will provide an introduction to Super 8 camera operation. You’ll get hands-on practice loading and operating the camera, such as setting exposure, focusing, animating and other special effects. Learn to shoot while standing, moving or remotely. Get information on where to buy and process film, and how to shop for equipment. John will project some of his many films as examples. Each participant will be able to shoot some film during the workshop, which will then be posted online. Beginners and experienced filmmakers will find this workshop informative and inspiring. The Art of Simply Seeing: Spotlight on the Films of David Anderson
Curated by Milada Kovacova Programming small-gauge film is like going on an archeological dig. Sometimes, movies are uncovered that fortunately haven’t been lost or dumped. David Anderson was active for two decades; starting off as a visual artist, he began making movies then ceased once he returned to painting and drawing. As David puts it, “Before beginning to record I had no idea of the succession of events or how the film would conclude, my only plan being to respond to what was happening around me.” His meditations on the everyday reflect back to the audience as fresh perspectives of the familiar. “There is an intent to record and reveal from this context of the everyday with the draughtsman's eye for gesture, contrast and composition. Through a play with rhythm, repetition and highlighting, aspects of that reality are intensified.” Definitely, this is a must see as one of Toronto’s hidden treasures reflecting back on the city’s architecture, urban history and planning.

He has produced one-of-a-kind books and in 1977 won a Juno Award for best album cover design. He was a member of the Funnel Film Collective and exhibited work with the ChromaZone Collective, and at YYZ Artists’ Outlet and Edward Day Gallery, among others. Currently, Dave plays shinny, paints houses and practices life drawing. Sponsored by LIFT Cut Paste Animate A co-presentation with Toronto Animated Image Society (TAIS) For our 2015 edition, the8fest decided to echo its 2012 programme Adventures in Animationland. Cut Paste Animate focuses on animation and
collage ─ bringing life to still images, playing with what can only be represented by abstracting shapes and bodies or using hands and eyes to explore tensions between what is static and what must be kinetic. In addition to works received as submissions, the8fest has commissioned new animated works by visual artists already conversant with film and visual artists whose bodies of work have seriously implied sequences of moving pictures.

New Place To Dwell a co-presentation with Wavelength Music Art Projects It has been suggested by many that all art forms (not only the cinema) aspire to music. But surely music aspires to other art forms as well. I think of visual arts  painting and especially sculpture. Music and film have had such a symbiotic history since so much music suggests both lighting and narrative while the cinema is so about the rhythms of shooting tracking and (above) all editing. The8fest has previously worked with live accompanists to specific films but has never hosted an entire programme with live musicians playing both on top of and around projected films. Well, it’s about time, then. Let us now enter into a fresh new place to dwell. Wavelength Music is a curated concert series designed to champion creativity, co-operation and collaboration in the underground music scene. Established in 2000, we are a non-profit arts organization that
puts artists and the community first. A cornerstone of the Toronto music scene, Wavelength has championed literally thousands of emerging artists during its decade-plus run. http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=e444c1daae&e=4e65756555 Fresh Snow freshsnow.bandcamp.com is not music. Music died so that Fresh Snow could live. As music ascended toward the light, Fresh Snow fell down to earth. They passed each other in a corridor of indescribable beauty. They were given a message and strict instructions on how to deliver it to you. They had no pen or paper with which to write it down. Luckily it was simple: “I love you. Don’t be afraid. All is forgiven.” Mimico are a band from Toronto comprised of Ben Oginz, Jeremiah Knight and Nick Kervin. Named for a Toronto suburb, the group traffic in an expansive brand of synth driven post-punk. The band formed in Toronto 2011, and have built a reputation with sterling live performances, opening for White Fence, Comet Control and Pop. 1280 among others, and have found a
home in the city’s experimental scene alongside like-minded locals like, Zacht Automat, Fresh Snow and Not The Wind, Not The Flag. They have released a steady stream of singles over the last couple of years along with a self-titled cassette LP on Reel Cod Records in May of 2013, and a split 7” with Fresh Snow in November of 2014 to be followed by their LP, Incantations, in January of 2015. http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=07d1ed7d2f&e=4e65756555 Jonathan Culp is a Canadian underground filmmaker, whose work includes found-footage collage, Super 8, and activist documentary as well as narrative projects. Culp’s work is typified by its confrontational tone, rhythmic counterpoint of sound and image elements, and acidic references to mass media. Long active in the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT), in 1997 Culp helped found the Toronto Video Activist Collective (TVAC);[1] he was injured by riot police while documenting protests at the 2001 Quebec City Protests. Along with Siue Moffat, he also
initiated the Satan Macnuggit Video Road Show, which has screened eclectic programs of underground video in alternative venues across Canada. He has written about film and filmmaking for Broken Pencil, Clamor and Canadian Dimension magazines. Artists’ Talk with Clayton Windatt ( curator of Canadiana programme ) Home Movie History Project presentation Clarksburg films — 1932 to 1961 The birth of small-gauge film happened in 1932 when the 8mm format was introduced. For the first time at the 8 fest we present films from the very beginning of the small-gauge era. A large, prosperous Buffalo family began filming in 1932. Clarksburg is in the countryside south of Buffalo and the location of much of the early footage in the collection. Initially the films depict the seemingly carefree leisure of a family unaffected by the Depression — at their Clarksburg garden and farm cottage, or aboard one of the small cruise ships of the period. As the years pass, a more complex portrait of the
family emerges — a less well-heeled younger generation who prefer casual house parties and backyard drinks, the family's Catholic faith, seen through the pomp of pre-Vatican II rites and festivities, and a tantalizing glimpse of a family business which was not afraid to get its hands messy. In 1936 colour was introduced for small-gauge with Kodachrome film stock. Once again, the family began shooting with this new innovation in its very first year, capturing in dreamy dappled colours a women's college graduation. Through to the 50s and 60s they used both black & white and Kodachrome to film their seasonal calendar of events, including summer furloughs on the Canadian shore of Lake Erie. Much of the key cultural changes of the 20th century are reflected in the evolution of daily family life pictured in this collection. These changes parallel, the birth and evolution of small-gauge film technology, and the development of the home movie canon itself. Bagerooo, eight Part Two –

ANTHROMENTARIES FOUR WITH STEVE WETZEL AT UNIONDOCS (NYC PREMIERE)
Saturday, January 31st 2015. 7:30pm. $9 A screening and reading with filmmaker Steve Wetzel Discussion with Steve Wetzel and Pacho Velez. Steve Wetzel will be exhibiting several videos never seen in New York. In fact this group of works has never been seen much outside the Midwest. Each is inspired in its own way by observational documentary, ethnographic film and video, and the rich and hugely diverse body of experimental time-based art. In addition Steve will read a few passages from two of his short collections of writings published by the Green Gallery Press (Occasional Performances and Wayward Writings, 2010, and [Pause], 2014). The forms and subjects addressed in the writings range from essays and lectures on love, public space and mentorship, to email correspondences and interviews about teaching and art practice. Both texts will be available for purchase at the screening. Steve Wetzel will be joined by filmmaker Pacho Velez for a conversation following the screening.
On Tuesday, February 3 at 7pm, Steve Wetzel will be part of the Flaherty NYC Winter/Spring 2015 program at Anthology Film Archives programmed by Sierra Pettengill & Pacho Velez. http:// flahertyseminar.org/ flaherty-nyc/ flaherty-winterspring-2015/ Program: Men's Hockey, Steve Wetzel, USA, 2003, 28 min. Men's Hockey is a glimpse at a privileged and intimate space where men prepare for competition with each other. The video, the anthromentary, is recorded in a direct observational style that reveals the texture, complexity and everydayness of a single day inside the locker room of a professional hockey team in Rockford, IL. Detroit Film Center, Detroit, MI Wisconsin International Film Festival, Madison, WI The First Shot is Silent (Kaszube's Park), Steve Wetzel, 2010, 14 min. The First Shot is Silent is about the commemoration of a once-thriving migrant fishing village in Milwaukee, now bulldozed into an industrial corridor. As with all progress, many experience its opposite:
reversal into disappearance. The memorial attempts to preserve the idea and memory of the Kaszubes, and is a physical marker that conjures the realness of geography and the actual bodies that once animated it. It feels like a weak apology to me. Pittsburgh Filmmakers, Pittsburgh, PA The Nightingale Theater, Chicago, IL Kid Beat Box: Twenty-two Tapes, Edit Nine, Steve Wetzel, USA, 2009, 9 min.

THE NEW ENGLAND HOME MOVIE TOUR - DENVER EDITION
The New England Home Movie Tour features handmade and homemade poetic film works from the northeast that celebrate the tactility and intimacy of celluloid-based moving images. As the commercial film industry forces us to embrace digital moving images and the planned obsolescence of the means to produce and distribute those products, this film tour aims to share films that embrace the contemporary DIY strategies, politics, and aesthetics of an enduring, artisanal, and personal approach to filmmaking. This traveling program carries with it more than 30 16mm works and 120 35mm slides that will ensure a uniquely arranged program at each stop along its way. With works by Luther Price, Jodie Mack, Robert Todd, Jonathan Schwartz, Jo Dery, Warren Cockerham, and Colin Brant.

FIELD NIGGAS AND KHAMAICA WITH KHALIK ALLAH AND FAB FIVE FREDDY AT UNIONDOCS
Sunday, February 1st, 2015. 7:30pm. $9 Discussion to follow with photographer and filmmaker Khalik Allah and hip hop pioneer, visual artist and filmmaker, Fab 5 Freddy. Field Niggas, 2014 USA, HD, 60min Field Niggas is a stark portrayal of the inner city struggle. It depicts an elusive beauty that so often goes unnoticed. Shot entirely at nighttime on the corner of 125th and Lexington avenue in Harlem, Khalik Allah's camera encompasses, and richly depicts, the mental, physical and spiritual struggle of 125th and Lexington Avenue's most exhausted and depressed inhabitants. Field Niggas, taking it's name from Malcolm X's famous lecture, "Message to the Grassroots," takes us into a world that most of us would choose to avoid. Khalik's objective is to shine light on fear, dispel it, and prove that love exist everywhere no matter how much it's presence has been obscured by poverty, addiction and pain. Ultimately Field Niggas is a hauntingly honest, rich depiction of the poor.
Khamaica, Jamica, 2014 HD, 15min Jamaica, The "Old Country," the "Mother country." Growing up, Khalik Allah's friends would often say "I'm going down south for the summer, referring to Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, etc. For Khalik "down south" was Jamaica. Khamaica, the visual essay along with a short film (watch below), is a "Prodigal Son" experience depicting a man returning to the doorstep of his father's house, which for Khalik, is a monastery of sorts. Khamaica is intended to baptize the viewer, remind the viewer, and recalibrate our human sensibilities which this fast paced world would prefer to be kept dormant.

JOE GIBBONS: CONFESSIONS OF A SOCIOPATH
The experimental film world was blown away (“shocked” is not the right word, really) by the news just this month that acclaimed and singular filmmaker Joe Gibbons had been arrested for robbing a pair of northeastern banks. Not only that, but the only weapon he had employed in doing so was one with which he had extensive familiarity: a video camera, almost certainly documenting the robberies for inclusion in an in-progress work. The New York Post, in their condescending coverage of Gibbons’ apprehension (“Bank Robber Appears to be Screwball Former Professor”), referred to his “art” and his identity as a “visual artist” exactly like that - in quote marks. Well, to hell with the New York Post and to hell with the banks, Joe Gibbons is not only an artist, but a truly great artist, one who has for decades blended autobiography and fantasy into a richly confessional, bitingly hilarious, unparalleled first-person media/dream-fulfillment. The “Joe” in Gibbons’ films is not simply Joe
Gibbons, and the already blurry distinction between his movie identity and real-guy Joe is smeared out of proportion and recognition the more of his work you see. He pushes deep, carefully hidden buttons of shame, hilarity, discomfort, and incredulity within us as his viewers/friends/victims/confidants, unpacking his neuroses and pretensions like a weird-smelling, slightly overstuffed carry-on bag being disallowed on the plane. Ultimately Joe Gibbons is the underworld king of the filmic first-person; there are scant few pretenders to his throne - no one even wants to try or would know where to begin. (Mark Toscano) For this screening, Filmforum is grateful to share Gibbons’ semi(?)-autobiographical masterwork Confessions of a Sociopath (2001- ) and other items to be determined. Joe is currently in a New York jail cell, but his honorarium for this program will be placed in a support fund being set up by his friends while he’s temporarily indisposed.
