JIM JENNINGS AND FRIENDS
To celebrate the 66th birthday of Jim Jennings, a beloved yet under-sung stalwart of the New York City experimental film community whose lyrical, sharp-eyed films speak to the glorious tradition of urban street photography, we have invited six of Jennings's fellow filmmakers - Abigail Child, Nathaniel Dorsky, Ernie Gehr, Vincent Grenier, Henry Hills, and Ken Jacobs - to select their favorite films from throughout his long, productive career. With the exception of Nathaniel Dorsky and Henry Hills (who will be here in spirit), they will all be present to introduce their chosen films, alongside Jim himself who will screen his very first film, made 50 years ago! Special thanks to all the filmmakers, and to Karen Treanor.

THE FACES OF RUSSIAN PEASANTS: TWO FILMS BY SERGEI LOZNITSA
Sergei Loznitsa is one of the most heralded filmmakers in Europe, but is still little known in America. Generously supported by the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, Filmforum is bringing Loznitsa to Los Angeles for his first time in late February, for in-person screenings at Filmforum, UCLA, Cal Arts, and Cinefamily. To lead up to Loznitsa’s visit, Filmforum presents the Los Angeles premieres of two of his award-winning films Portrait and Landscape. These highly structured, gentle, painterly looks at Russian peasants might well resonate for fans of James Benning or Serge Dvortsevoy, or other “slow cinema” artists. Utterly absorbing and gorgeous works. Tickets: $10 general; $6 for students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=989fc41156&e=4e65756555 or at the door. Screening: Portrait (2002, 28 min., b/w, mono, 35 mm); Landscape (2003, Russia, color, sound, 35mm, 60 min.) For more information: www.lafilmforum.org or

7:30-10PM, Temescal Art Center, 511 48th St.
SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS FIRED!
Fired! is Shapeshifters Cinema’s first group screening, organized as part of 100 Days Action a coordinated response by the Bay Area artist community to Trump’s 100 Day Plan. Fired! includes short works by Bay Area-based moving image artists Tommy Becker, Allison Holt with Patrick McGee and Justin Enteman, Kit Young with Fred Rinne, We Rise and Tijana Petrovic that address the new political landscape through live sound, moving image and performance. Some of the work addresses the Trump administration directly, calling for empathy and inclusion of minorities, people with disabilities and others living outside the mainstream. Other works explore politics and society more generally in an effort to deconstruct, through a critical lens, those aspects that shape and define us, for better or worse. Using the language and tools of constructive creativity, we will fight fire with Fired!, adding our voices to the resistance of a shady incoming administration whose only motives are power
and profit.

BUNGALOW BY ALEX MACKENZIE
Iris Film Collective is pleased to present the inaugural installation of IN HOUSE, a year-long series of film and light installation at the Falaise Fieldhouse by Collective members.===== Falaise Park is named for a historic end-of-war battle centred around a small French village where tens of thousands of soldiers lost their lives. After WWII this forested hill in East Vancouver was cleared and transformed into the Renfrew Heights Housing Project for War Veterans, built to accommodate returning soldiers and their young families (those without families were less fortunate). Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder—known then as Battle Fatigue and formerly Shell Shock—was one of the inevitable and brutal effects of this war, causing these soldiers and their families tremendous suffering that continues to reverberate to this day. In MacKenzie’s BUNGALOW, the audio from various Allied forces propaganda films from August 1944 (Pathe, Movietone, etc.) describe the inhumane death tolls at
Falaise in France. This audio is converted into light using strobes that are triggered based on volume and rhythm. Seen from outside, the house is transformed into a pulsing emblem of the cost of war. Upon approaching the building one can hear the muffled audio contained by the walls of this symbolic home on the hill.

BREAKING UP IS HARD 2 DO: A PROGRAM OF LOVE, HEARTACHE & SENSUALITY
A special VALENTINES DAY screening @ ARTIST TELEVISION ACCESS in PARTNERSHIP WITH CANYON CINEMA. FILMS TO BE SCREENED: ********************************** CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN – PLUMB LINE, 1968-71, COLOR, 15M Plumb Line: Plump line full rounded plumbs drop or descent abounding in, plume abrupt plunge, testing vertically/perpendicularity of wall, sounding (downright), level, true, ecactly, (U.S. slang) utterly crazy, measure, depth, make vertical. Pendulum (Carpentry), Plumber, lead ball, join, joint.) Plumb Line is made from scrap. Footage shot in 8mm and 16mm ’68-69, a film diary of daily movements-the couple. Sounds of my cat singing, repeated cries of ‘no’, sirens screaming, my voice describing food from the maze of a breakdown, his voice ‘tell me a story…I’ve got a truck you know’. Moving footage into freeze frames, stills animated, 8mm mirror printed as 16mm, images in 16mm reshot in 8. A portrait of a man and the dissolution of a relationship and of the film itself. The
accumulation patterns of imagery are finally set on fire. Sound and images edited during ’70-72. – C.S. Plumb Line was beautiful, it seemed to be laying everything open, even more than Fuses – a very private film, and as clear as crystal.’ – David Curtis. The dissolution of a relationship unravels through visual and aural equivalences. Schneemann splits and recomposes actions of the lovers in a streaming montage of disruptive permutations: 8 mm is printed as 16 mm, moving images freeze, frames recur and dissolve until the film bursts into flames, consuming its own substance. -EAI SU FRIEDRICH – RULES OF THE ROAD, 1993, COLOR, 31M Rules of the Road tells the story of a love affair and its demise through one of the objects shared by the couple: an old beige station wagon with fake wood paneling. A typical American family car for an atypical American family, it provides the women at first with all the familiar comforts. But when their relationship ends, the car becomes the
property of one and the bane of the other’s existence. Even long after their separation, this tangible reminder of their life together—and thousands of its imitators—continues to prowl the streets of the city, haunting the woman who no longer holds the keys either to the car or the other woman’s heart. Through spoken text, popular music and images from the streets of New York, Rules of the Road takes a somewhat whimsical, somewhat caustic look at how our dreams of freedom, pleasure, security, and family are so often symbolized by the automobile. “… the light, almost whimsical tone of the film should not blind us to the part of it that is irreducibly personal. Station wagons are everywhere; everybody’s got a sad love story. But only one filmmaker, to my knowledge, has Su Friedrich’s eye….With Rules of the Road, she creates a film like a perfect short story.” —Stuart Klawans, THE NATION CHICK STRAND – FEVER DREAM, 1979, B/W, 7M A wet hot dream about sensuality. ***** This
screening is a part of the Canyon Cinema 50 project. Canyon Cinema is thankful for the long term support of the George Lucas Family Foundation. Dedicated project funding for Canyon Cinema 50 has been generously provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, Owsley Brown III Foundation, Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation and The Fleishhacker Foundation.

Wednesday, February 15th, 2017 7:00pm California College of the Arts Carmen M. Christensen Production Stage FREE "Over the years I've dealt with autobiography directly and glancingly in my films. At times I've inhabited the straight ahead diary film idiom, other times I've veiled my presence by abstract imagery and fictionalized scenarios. I'm inspired by filmmakers whose artistic journey begins with their quotidian life and takes us into uncharted terrain." - Mark Street Inside and Out: More or Less of Me Time Being by Gunvor Nelson (8 min, 16mm) Lilting Towards Chaos by Mark Street (5 minute excerpt, 16mm) Swiss Army Knife with Rats and Pigeons by Robert Breer (6min, 16mm) Fever by Paula Froehle (6min, 16mm) Sweep by Mark Street (7 min, 16mm) Still Here by Mark Street (24min, digital file) Mark Street has been

He has shown at places like the Museum of Modern Art in New York as well as venues such as a former strip club in New Orleans called the Pussycat Cavern. His latest documentary, Oiltowns (2017), traces boom and bust cycles in North Dakota oil country. He is Associate Professor of Film in the Visual Art Department at Fordham University-- Lincoln Center where he teaches film/video production and other courses that engage contemporary artistic practice.

CHANGING THE SHAPE OF FILM: AN EVENING WITH BARBARA HAMMER
Join us for an evening of transmuted cinema, where images break through the traditional rectangular screen and emerge as unexpected and amorphous shapes. Working since the late 1960s, Barbara Hammer’s career has been marked by experimentation, intellectual rigor, and a commitment to testing boundaries. Hammer will present two works of expanded cinema that reconsider exactly where film images belong. With Changing the Shape of Film, a 12-foot weather balloon becomes the screen for Hammer’s own films, forcing the audience to find new perspectives, and seating arrangements. In Available Space, a 16mm projector is mobilized and the architecture of the space becomes the screen. In this work, the viewer is also mobilized and forced into continuous physical motion to view it. Presented in conjunction with Exploratorium, this event is the first Canyon Cinema 50 program in a yearlong series of programming in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Canyon Cinema’s incorporation as a
distributor of independent artist-made film. In the tradition of Canyon’s monthly Canyon Cinema Salon series, Hammer’s performances will be followed by an intimate conversation. Barbara Hammer was born on May 15, 1939, in Hollywood, California. She is a visual artist working primarily in film and video. She has made over 80 moving image works in a career that spans 40 years. She is considered a pioneer of queer cinema and has worked in documentary, experimental cinema, performance, and installation. She has received numerous honors including a Guggenheim Fellowship and retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Tate Modern in London, and the Toronto International Film Festival. Her work has shown at countless national and international venues. In addition to her moving image work, she is the author of Hammer! Making Movies Out of Sex and Life. She teaches each summer at The European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.

APPARITIONS BY ALEX MACKENZIE
Inspired by early stereo imaging and the clash and collusion of socioeconomic forces, this suite of works seeks to dismantle cinematic codes while foregrounding projector and light as sculpture: a conscious corruption and interference of the apparatus to evoke the unexpected, reshaping representation into the realm of material and space. Using colour gels, masking, lens interference and projector movement in tandem with an exploration of binocular disparity, perspective, patterning and the film surface itself, APPARITIONS explores the transitional space between image and abstraction, nature and culture.

WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND: THE FILMS OF TONY GAULT, ROGER BEEBE, AND ELIZABETH HENRY
NOTE THE CHANGE FROM OUR USUAL DAY! Filmmakers Tony Gault, Roger Beebe, and Elizabeth Henry in person! On the eve of the 9th edition of the Festival of (In)appropriation, Los Angeles Filmforum is thrilled to present this intimate prelude, featuring works by three stalwarts of the found-footage filmmaking universe. Orbiting at the upper reaches of the avant-docu-sphere, the works of Tony Gault, Roger Beebe, and Elizabeth Henry offer remarkable explorations of creation and destruction, desire and loss, land and spirit. By turns haunting, humorous, and hallucinatory, their films are as much about the world we so often see without knowing, as they are about the world we can only know by seeing it through cinema. For Filmforum, these longtime pals on the experimental/documentary circuit (all former standouts of Festivals of (In)appropriation past) have joined forces to present this retrospective of works both new and old, shot on Super8, 16mm, and HD, or culled from the world’s
voluminous archive of found footage. Tickets available at http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=1b753721be&e=4e65756555 or at the door. For more event information: www.lafilmforum.org, or 323-377-7238

FEB18: IVY JEANNE'S STANDING ROCK + MARK STREET'S OILTOWNS
OC opens with the first of our four SCRITTI POLITTI specials this Spring, a timely look at explosive issues around resource-extraction in the American Midwest. Ivy Jeanne McClelland and Pablo Calderaro return from the Standing Rock encampment with their 25-min. slide-show on the Sioux' struggle to stop the Dakota pipeline from tainting their tribal water and ground*. Their inspiring account is supported by a handful of doc shorts, many by Native makers on the scene: Shiye Bidziil's Black Snake, IEN's Were Still Here, Peter Mettler's Petropolis, et al. In the show's second half, Frisco ex-pat Mark Street flies back with a revelatory report on the new boom/bust displacement in North Dakota, a land and a people rolled over by the imperatives of Big Oil.

YES: NICHOLAS STEINDORF & KYLE WILLIAMS
Q&A with the artist follows.For the first 2017 edition of Microscope's emerging artist series YES we screen new and recent video works by Brooklyn-based artists Nicholas Steindorf and Kyle Williams, including those made under their collaboration Binn & Lambert. In playful and paradoxical works such as Family and Pyramid Kyle Williams is concerned with alternative ways of looking at everyday objects, providing them with a new life and appearance on screen, often involving special lighting and the construction of props and mechanical apparatuses. Nicholas Steindorf's meticulous 3D modeled and animated videos research the singular and poetic within the digital realm through two distinct projects. The collaboration Binn & Lambert finds a calibrated mix of these two individual approaches, leading to another unique universe of works.

THE FESTIVAL OF (IN)APPROPRIATION #9
Curators Jaimie Baron & Greg Cohen with filmmakers Roger Beebe, Tony Gault, and Kevin McCarthy in person! Whether you call it collage, compilation, found footage, détournement, or recycled cinema, the incorporation of already existing media into new artworks is a practice that generates novel juxtapositions and new meanings and ideas, often in ways entirely unrelated to the intentions of the original makers. Such new works are, in other words, “inappropriate.” This act of (in)appropriation may even produce revelations about the relationship between past and present, here and there, intention and subversion, artist and critic, not to mention the "producer" and "consumer" of visual culture itself. Fortunately for our purposes, the past decade has witnessed the emergence of a wealth of new audiovisual elements available for appropriation into new works. Featuring films by Deborah Kelly, Tina Takemoto, Christopher Harris, Daniela Zahiner, Tony Gault, Roger Beebe, Ryan Murray,
Kevin McCarthy, Yunjin Woo and more! For more event information: www.lafilmforum.org, or 323-377-7238
