SHAPED BY LANDSCAPE: JASON HALPRIN IN PERSON!
Join us for a very special night as we welcome the celebrated Pueblo--raised and Oakland--based JASON HALPRIN to Denver, with live musical accompaniment by PROJECT SALT!! Working in SMALL--GAUGE FILM and ARCHIVAL VIDEO and employing techniques from OPTICAL PRINTING to TIME--LAPSE and HAND--PROCESSING, Halprin’s preoccupations range from amusement parks and nostalgia to tourism and histoirical revisionism to musings on 9/11. In Halprin’s own words: “My work explores the way humans are affected by their immediate surroundings, and how the shape of a location can impact social interaction and culture... Cities and wilderness both open cereberal pathways that might otherwise not be taken... as for me, I am haunted by landscape.”

SHOW & TELL: DAVID DANIELS
During the golden era of MTV, David Daniels directed everything from sparkling animation highlights for Peter Gabriel’s groundbreaking music video BIG TIME (1986) to now-classic station bumpers. Working many seasons as a cameraman and animator on PEE WEE’S PLAYHOUSE, his distinctive Strata Cut work would also shine in show openings for MTV’s THE IDIOT BOX (1990-91), the title sequence for the feature length film FREAKED (1993), an insane 40-number countdown for SESAME STREET, and reverse-animated stop motion clips for Michael Jackson’s MOONWALKER (1988). While in art school at CalArts (MFA, 1983), Daniels re-invented conventionally understood clay animation into something completely fresh and brain-boggling. Using clay as spatially pre-programmed motion sculpture blocks, he mastered a process by which he invisibly peeled back colorful thin deli meat slices to reveal a highly textured interior cauldron of ‘psychomorphic’ kinetic (ins)animation. This method, which he’s
continued to work with, is powerfully ‘woven’ in geometric time/space to be both visually seductive and actively frantic when cut apart, a frame at a time. He forces narrative clarity out of rolling sheets of rainbow hailstorms and flowing surfaces of confetti confusion. His graduate thesis film BUZZ BOX (1985), which took four years to complete, was conceived as a total visual assault that mimics the blast of images projected daily by the media extended over a week of strata-cut animated bursts. The effect is at once fluid and jarring. Presented at the Kitchen in 1986, it remains both experimental and state of the art even today. For this Show & Tell program we welcome Daniels to Anthology to present a plethora of nuggets from the last 30 years, including a treasure-chest of rarities, behind-the-scenes ‘how to’ videos, computer-generated strata tests, real un-cut clay blocks, and some live time/sculpture examples. “New viewers began to look at my work as somehow computer
generated, which defeats the purpose of blowing people’s minds, no? But during the 80s and early 90s the mind-eff was self evident – how the *bleep* was this actually made?” –David Daniels The program will include: BUZZ BOX (1985/2005, 9.5 min, video) ACID TRIP (2000, 40 sec, video) PEE WEE’S PLAYHOUSE COLUMBUS (1987, 30 sec, video) PEE WEE’S PLAYHOUSE 4th of JULY (1987, 20 sec, video) AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL (1990, 30 sec, video) MICHAEL JACKSONS’S ABC (1988, 15 sec, video) IDIOT BOX (Title Sequence) (1991, 40 sec, video) PETER GABRIEL’S BIG TIME INTRO (1986, 30 sec, video) BIG TIME STRATA CUTS (excerpts) (1986, 30 sec, video) CLEARASIL (1995, 20 sec, video) MTV ‘PIECE OF CAKE’ (1993, 10 sec, video) NBC LOGO (1993, 10 sec, video) OH NO NOT THEM (1990, 20 sec, video) SEASAME STREET 1 TO 40 (1990, 90 sec, video) And much, much more! Total running time: ca. 80 min, plus brief Strata-Cut Demo, and Q&A.

PUNK VAUDEVILLE: YARD DOGS ROAD SHOW + CIRCUS DELIRIUM
An authentic first-person account of the Performing Life! With cameo appearances by Ken Kesey, Michael Franti, and Speed Levitch, director Flecher Fleurdujon (in person) manages to capture thee genuine San Fran spirit in his rag-tag troupe’s audacious risk-taking, insane ingenuity, and joyous community. This home-grown feature details how a gang of poets and musicians turned a pile of puppets into an international touring New Vaudeville sensation, the Yard Dogs. Flecher, Zebu Recchia, and Miguel Strong gathered up a freaky tribe of musicians, jugglers, and nu- burlesk dancers who embodied the Wild West underground tradition, who barely survived 2 tech crunches, and then who summoned up the guts to take their Dionysian carnival on the road in a big magic bus! Season-opener is set up with a sampling of vintage circus shorts, Incredibly Strange Music (live and on 16mm), and a free- champagne reception for OtherZine#31.

SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS THAD POVEY AND MARK TAYLOR WITH HENRY PLOTNICK
The Octoplayer is a sound and performance sculpture that plays eight vinyl records at once. The machine simultaneously (and independently) came in dreams to artist-tinkerers Thad Povey and Mark Taylor in late 2010. After comparing their separate visions and sketches, the two decided to collaborate on the design and fabrication of the shared hallucination. This program, titled Chronicle of a Dream Device, features a selection of recent videos by Povey and Taylor, some newly imagined with live Octoplayer accompaniment. The evening includes a special guest appearance by improvisational keyboard wunderkind, Henry Plotnick.

LEFTIST REVOLUTIONS!!: CHRIS MARKER’S GRIN WITHOUT A CAT
>From young anti-war protesters in America to the death of Che Guevara and the rise of leaders like Fidel Castro and Mao Tse-Tung, this remarkably fluid 3 hour documentary examines the rise and fall of the leftist movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Rejecting textbook history, the first segment delves into the beginnings of this liberal faction, focusing on 1967, when anti-Vietnam fervor swept the USA and invigorated the political debate. In part two, the disintegration of the movement, dubbed the "new left," is laid out. Rather than authoritative or sociological. Marker’s technique is essayistic, digressive, fleet-footed, sublime and conjunctural.

CINEMA SOIREE: ENDS AND ODDS: EARLY AND RARE FILMS BY PAUL CLIPSON
Oddball Films welcomes filmmaker Paul Clipson for our Cinema Soiree Series, a monthly soiree featuring visiting authors, filmmakers and curators presenting and sharing cinema insights. Paul Clipson's work is based on collaboration, whether with sound artists, musicians, or actors. This evening's program focuses on early sound/music film collaborations made with the band Tarentel, as well a series of short comic experiments made with Adam Heavenrich, all titled Bucky, and finally touches on influences such as the Lumiere Brothers and Maya Deren. Included are the following films, plus a few surprises!: BUCKY (1996-1998) Episodes 1-6, a curious figure navigates the world in an attempt to understand, BIG BLACK SQUARE (2004), an expressionistic view of fear within the spinning zoetrope of an industrial labyrinth, OVER WATER (2005-2006), the light and water of winter-time, viewed at 35,000 feet, over the U.S., somewhere between the East and West coasts, SUN PLACE (2007), a study of
relationships between graphic visual forms of nature and the propulsive rhythms of music-making, ECHO PARK (2007), an abstract sci-fi dream of vegetation, narratives and wordless experiences, and WATERCOLOR NIGHT MONTAGE NO.7 (2007), this predominantly night-light filled study of movement and rhythm in neon, concludes at dawn entering the awakening industrial rail yards of Venice, Italy. Plus, two 16mm selections from the archive to round out the evening and foreground Clipson's work: Maya Deren's surreal masterpiece Meshes of the Afternoon (1943)and Lumiere’s First Picture Show (1895-1897), a compilation of the earliest films ever made by French cinema pioneers the Lumière Brothers as well as a vintage look at the Lumières' patented cinematograph, a combination camera, projector, and film printer.

PERPETUAL MOTION, PROGRAM ONE: DUST TO DUST
Perpetual Motion opens with cosmic cinematic evocations of primordial energy, fusing creation and destruction into scintillating experiences of accumulation and decay. Program One features arc—abandoned film archives repurposed as a sublime meditative subject—followed by a rare appearance by film alchemist Jürgen Reble (Bonn, Germany) and concluding with an equally rare appearance by Mexico City/Seattle collective Trinchera Ensemble whose Lux-ex-Machina forms an overwhelming and chaotic live film-collage combining appropriated celluloid with optic games and spontaneous cutting, scratching, burning, dissolving, painting of film.

THE CAMERA: JE, LA CAMERA: BABETTE MANGOLTE IN PERSON!

GERMAINE DULAC PROGRAM
9:00 PM WOMAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA: GERMAINE DULAC & ROSA PORTEN PGM Share + This screening is part of: WOMAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA: FEMALE FILM DIRECTORS BEFORE 1950 Film Notes Germaine Dulac THE SMILING MADAME BEUDET / LA SOURIANTE MADAME BEUDET (1923, 40 min, 16mm, b&w, silent) MADAME BEUDET explores the relationship of a bored couple in a dreary provincial town from the woman’s point of view. Basing her film on a play by Andre Obey and Denys Amiel, the director translates into cinema their aesthetic of the “theater of silence,” a theory that the silences engulfing characters could be more articulate than their speech. Silent actions betray the conflicts in the marriage, and inanimate objects are made to carry psychological meaning. Dulac shows us Madame Beudet’s view of her husband through a distorting lens, or her own romantic imagination in abstract visions. Germaine Dulac THE SEASHELL AND THE CLERGYMAN / LA COQUILLE ET LE CLERGYMAN (France, 1928, 39 min, 16mm, b&w,
silent. Written by Antonin Artaud.) This famous early surrealist film is packed with Freudian references, and at the same time represents a spirited attack on the Church. Originally a drama critic, always a feminist, the filmmaker Germaine Dulac employed a fantastic symbolism to probe the mind of a cleric whose religious vows deny his normal sexual impulses. Nevertheless, it was originally banned by the British Board of Censors, which issued the statement that, “The film is so cryptic as to be almost meaningless. If there is a meaning, it is doubtless objectionable.” Rosa Porten & Franz Eckstein (credited together under the pseudonym “Dr. R. Portegg”) THE LATEST VARIETY SENSATION / DER NEUESTE STERN VOM VARIÉTÉ (Germany 1917, 32 min, 35mm-to-digital. Digital restoration courtesy of EYE Film Museum.) “This nearly complete comedy…is a most recent discovery and a rare item among the surviving Rosa Porten films. Porten wrote, co-directed, and played the role of the variety
artiste Stella Orlanda, an intrepid young woman maneuvering between bourgeois mentality and the free spirit attributed to popular stage people.” –Annette Förster, IL CINEMA RITROVATO Total running time: ca. 115 min. The screening on Sun, Sept 25 will be introduced by Joy Schaefer & Sofia Varino of the Woman with a Movie Camera project!

VAZQUEZ & GALINDO’S GRRRR! + MOLERO’S VIDEOFILIA
Flying up from Lima is Rotterdam’s Tiger Award-winner Juan Daniel Molero, with the US theatrical premiere of this long-overdue look at the contemporary lives and loves of Peruvian youths, coming of age in the globalized era of the internet, cybersex, and psychedelic drugs. Hooking up online, his slacker teens trip into a delusional world of Google Glass porn, Mayan Apocalypse, conspiracy theories, and real corruption in the post-modern Latino metropolis. OPENING are local brujos Gustavo Vazquez and Guillermo Galindo, live-mixing Mexican horror, sci-fi, Santo, and even Z musicals, their soundtracks processed in situ through Gal*in_dog’s analog-synth rig. The big-screen mash-up is fronted by Gustavo’s perverse dance moves and mischievous mis-translations. *$6.66

PERPETUAL MOTION, PROGRAM TWO: GHOSTS IN THE MACHINES
Perpetual Motion—a series devoted almost exclusively to live experiential artworks exploring the analog basics of cinema—“goes electric” for one night only with works exploring the attractive/repulsive allure of the electronic signal. Program Two presents Michael A. Morris's series Hermeneutics (1-3), whose graceful fusions are followed by Scott Arford's TV-IV, an aggressive collision of semi-compatible technologies. The program is concluded with Hyper by Montreal's Le Révélateur (Sabrina Ratté & Roger Tellier-Craig) an immersive and architectural audio/visual hybrid located at the liminal edges between virtual and concrete space.
