A DISTANT ECHO, BY GEORGE CLARK
Filmmaker George Clark in person! Los Angeles premiere! Filmforum kicks off our 42nd year with our friend George Clark, who is returning to Los Angeles to present his feature film A Distant Echo. Mythic, quiet, and beautifully shot on 35mm film in the deserts of California, Clark’s film explores themes of culture, cultural excavation and appropriation, and the construction of history. Playing with movement and light in natural settings, with a glorious score, layered with a dialogue of two explorers, the film re-enacts the negotiations of an archaeologist from Cairo with members of an Egyptian tribe who guard ancient culture hidden in tombs lost in the desert.

KUHLE WAMPE, OR WHO OWNS THE WORLD?
Kuhle Wampe, or Who Owns the World?, Slatan Dudow, 1932, 16mm, 69 mins A nearly forgotten instance of late-Weimar social realism, Kuhle Wampe, or Who Owns the World? is a strident anticapitalist drama built from partially documentary elements, directed by Slatan Dudow, based on a screenplay written with Bertolt Brecht and Ernst Ottwalt, and featuring music by Hanns Eisler. The central plot concerns a working-class family, impoverished by the nation's financial collapse and forced to move to a burgeoning tent city on the outskirts of Berlin, but the German people as a whole become the film's ultimate protagonist. Influenced by Eisenstein's experiments in montage and Walter Ruttman's urban portrait Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927), Dudow's film impressed contemporary viewers foremost for its then-unusual blend of fact and fiction. The film conveys how economic forces inexorably warp social interactions: a man becomes unhappily engaged in order to avoid alimony and taxes,
a jobless father accuses his similarly out-of-work son of laziness, and a woman attending a funeral for a suicide simply sighs, "One less unemployed person." A socialist consciousness begins to coalesce in a final scene, directed by Brecht himself, in which people on a train discuss a newspaper story on the absurd destruction of twenty-four million pounds of surplus coffee in Brazil, burned by the government in order to keep costs high: a plain example of international capital directly affecting everyday life.

A ROLL FOR PETER-PETER HUTTON TRIBUTE PROGRAM
A tribute to the late Filmmaker Peter Hutton, A Roll for Peter will be screened at the UCF Art Gallery. Twenty-plus former students, colleagues, and admirers of Peter Hutton answered an invitation to shoot A ROLL FOR PETER. The parameters were simple: shoot a single 100 feet roll of black and white 16mm film. The film is strung together with black film separating the rolls, as Peter often separated the single shots in his films. The series speaks of Peter’s strong contemplative aesthetic ethos. Each filmmaker will have 2 and half minutes of screen time to commune with Peter’s memory, and the collected rolls will become more than the sum of their parts. Work by Eve Heller, Christopher Harris, Kathryn Ramey, Roddy Bogowa, the organizing filmmakers, and others. After the main program, there will be a showing of a short film by Peter Hutton as well titled New York Portrait, Chapter I.
