7:30pm, 1329 Willoughby Ave 2B
YES: KATHRIN MCGINNIS & HYLA SKOPITZ
Q&A w/ artists follows the screening. Katherin McInnis and Hyla Skopitz screen as part of our emerging artist series YES. The program – which includes several New York premieres – features works that re-contextualize still photography, original or appropriated, within the medium of moving image with an emphasis on its use as a historical documentation and mnemonic tool. Hyla Skopitz’s works in the program present analog photography, often as it’s being developed, exposing the photographic process and the physical existence of the image, such as in Nostalgia (after Hollis Frampton) and George Eastman. In other works, the artist inventively intertwines still and moving images culled from her personal life through focus adjustments and superimposition techniques, employing video as a “means for processing loss”. Using publicly available and archive photographs, Katherin McInnis reveals the ability of images to shape one’s impression of a historical event, touching on topics
including the Wall Street financial collapse, debunked optical theories, the moon landing, and coding in aviary communications. Moments of history emerge in flicker, offering the viewer a glimpse at reality through the magic lens of cinema. The evening includes the premiere of her latest video work The Children of Lir. Working in video and new media, Katherin McInnis combines documentary concerns with experimental techniques. Her projects have been featured in festivals, including the Toronto Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, and New York Film Festival, as well as in museums and galleries, including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Pompidou Center, and nGbK Berlin. McInnis holds an MFA from California College of the Arts and a BA from Swarthmore College. Originally from Texas, she lives in Queens, NY and teaches at CUNY.Hyla Skopitz is an artist working in video and photography. In her works, she often examines photography through the lens of video,
referencing the history of the medium in relationship to nostalgia and memory. She is a 2016 recipient of the BRIC Media Arts Fellowship and holds an MFA from Bard College – International Center of Photography. Skopitz lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

San Francisco: San Francisco Public Library/North Beach
4-6pm, 20 Romolo Place #4
BEAT CINEMA
Starting the first Saturday in July (July 3rd) I will be hosting a free film group at the North Beach Library on Saturdays from 4-6pm. The series is called "Beat Cinema". During the 40s, 50s and early 60s many Beat poets also made avant garde films. Poets such as Lawrence Ferlinghetti; James Broughton; Christopher MacClaine; Weldon Kees and others made films during this time period. This series will feature these poets and other filmmakers as well such as Robert Frank; Willard Maas; Marie Menken; Maya Deren; Sitney Peterson; Harry Smith etc. Many of the films were made in North Beach so it is fitting to show them at the North Beach Libray. The July 1 program with feature the work of Maya Deren, Sidney Peterson and James Broughton http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=72f5b9bad0&e=4e65756555

London, England: Contact

7:30, The Depot, 38 Upper Clapton Rd, E5 8BQ
CONTACT: PAIRS: NICKY HAMLYN/NEIL HENDERSON
Nicky Hamlyn and Neil Henderson both make observational films that are most obviously documentaries when they focus on sites that are fast disappearing. Hamlyn's Gasometers 4 is part of a series of films recording the dismantling of gas holders in North London, while Henderson's Grain Tower centres on a giant power station chimney that has recently been demolished. In both filmmakers' work there is a reciprocal relationship between the subject documented and the mode of shooting and editing, which often involves either a fixed stare or sequences of single frames. A broad and recurrent concern in their work is the transitory nature of objects as images and light, especially in Henderson's reprised Candle films and Hamlyn's fascination with filmic depiction as a mode of interplay between grain and image.

REPRESENTATIONS AND METAPHORS: SCHNEEMAN AND KELLER
MassArt Film Society presents Representations and Metaphors Fuses by Carolee Schneemann & Misconception by Marjorie Keller - Fuses by Carolee Schneemann 1965, Self-shot, 16mm, 18min. A silent film of collaged and painted sequences of lovemaking between Schneemann and her then partner, composer James Tenney; observed by the cat, Kitch. "...I wanted to see if the experience of what I saw would have any correspondence to what I felt-- the intimacy of the lovemaking... And I wanted to put into that materiality of film the energies of the body, so that the film itself dissolves and recombines and is transparent and dense-- as one feels during lovemaking... It is different from any pornographic work that you've ever seen-- that's why people are still looking at it! And there's no objectification or fetishization of the woman." –Carolee Schneemann - Misconception by Marjorie Keller, video, 1977, 43 mins “I was asked to film, for posterity, the birth of my niece. My primary concern
was to work with sync sound. I had made a political documentary on welfare cutbacks in Chicago in 1972. While editing it I kept having to repress the desire to experiment with the sound the way I had been experimenting with rapid cutting of images in my personal film work. When the opportunity arose for me to shoot freely with sync sound equipment, I was delighted…

Brooklyn, New York: Issue Project Room

TOXIC CITY MUSIC: EVAN CAMINITI & PAUL CLIPSON / SADAF
Thursday, July 6th, ISSUE presents New York artist Evan Caminiti and San-Francisco-based filmmaker Paul Clipson in an audiovisual collaboration drawing from Caminiti’s most recent album Toxic City Music (Dust Editions 2017) as well as Clipson’s recent 16mm impressions of the “charged metabolism” of city life. The evening also sees Iranian-born, NYC-based producer, violinist, vocalist and multi-media artist SADAF presenting new work. Inspired by the “psychic and physical toxicity of life in late capitalism,” Evan Caminiti’s Toxic City Music utilizes sounds sourced from daily life in NYC. These found sounds are heavily processed and woven into instrumentation ranging from electronically treated guitar to modular synthesizers. Toxic City Music evolved over the course of several years, resulting in a wealth of material which will be re-processed and uniquely presented in an improvisatory manner in live performance. The Wire describes the new work as "The sound of things falling
apart with unbearable slowness…[with Caminiti] reporting his observations with acuity, integrity, and artfulness." Alongside Caminiti’s soundwork, filmmaker Paul Clipson presents a collage of recent color and black & white celluloid impressions, gestural sketches, filmed around the world, in which the surfaces, textures, spaces, and dimensions of the modern metropolis are studied with a 16mm film camera. Clipson’s film looks to convey the charged metabolism of the city space, whether it be San Francisco, London, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Athens, Sydney, or New York, among others. The film projects the streets, sidewalks, skyscrapers, and architecture of these urban environments, revealing subliminal patterns of experience. Sadaf H Nava presents a durational performance, constantly wavering between abstraction and lyricism, contemplating the disparate emotional affects inherent in noise, speech and silence. Drawing on global influences such as traditional middle eastern
instrumentation and vocal technique, free jazz noise violin, deconstructed Dembow and Reggaeton beats, and digital hardcore tendencies, the performance aims to create an unconventional palette unraveling within a post-dj era soap opera.
