LYNNE SACHS & MARK STREET: A MARRIAGE OF REMAKES
Artist in Person. Microscope is pleased to premiere Marriage of Remakes, a new project and conversation in moving images between Lynne Sachs and Mark Street in which the New York-based filmmakers remake works of the other. Three previous works by each will be followed by the other’s interpretations, which are not meant to be literal recreations, but rather responses and reflections to the work in part or in whole. “It is with curiosity and a tremor of fear that we embark on an unusual filmmaking project that involves each of us remaking a few selected short films from the other’s body of work. The remake production process will start with picking up the camera and reacting to the other person’s selected films with a combination of humor, insight, irony, pathos and perhaps critique”, says Sachs. Lynne Sachs and Mark Street have been making films individually and collaboratively under the name “XY Chromosome Project” for over 30 years, which is also the length of the
relationship as a couple. Both will be in attendance and available for Q&A after the screening.

CONTACT: PAIRS: NICK COLLINS/CATHY ROGERS
Nick Collins has been making films since the late 1970s. They centre on small scale instances of human geography and habitation, spanning investigations of archeological sites to contemporary environs. Graphic patterns of light and shadow are the focus of his observational camera, with his subjects including Greek temples, domestic gardens, and town squares. Collins has often collected his films together in short series of 'little films' reflecting their lyricism. Cathy Rogers’ films typically involve very direct means of production including pinhole photography and photograms. Her work is often also site-specific and reflects a mode of looking that is unique to the locations and materials that she works with. While the strategies of her work are straightforward and deceptively simple, the representational images they generate often prompt viewers to question what they might be looking at in productive ways. Glass House is a new performance piece.

EARLY MONTHLY SEGMENTS #97 = PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE
EARLY MONTHLY SEGMENTS #97 = Prisoners of Conscience by Anand Patwardhan + The New Wave by Chandrasekhar Nair Guest programmed by Shai Heredia (Experimenta India) Co-presented with South Asian Visual Arts Centre and introduced by SAVAC Director Indu Vashist (Industani Vee) Early Monthly Segments is pleased to present two films from mid-1970's India guest programmed by Shai Heredia juxtaposing the political clampdown on freedom of expression with a government propaganda piece extolling the virtues of the state-imposed Emergency. An important historical record of a traumatic period in India's recent political history, Prisoners of Conscience by Anand Patwardhan focuses on the State of Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi from June 1975 to March 1977. During the Emergency the media was muzzled, over 100,000 people were arrested without charge and imprisoned without trial. But political prisoners existed before the Emergency and they continue to exist long after it has ended. "In
1975 a State of Emergency was declared in India. A new wave of discipline and order entered the nation's life. The 20-point Programme aimed at removing corruption, nepotism and lawlessness on the university and college campuses so that peace and disciple may prevail, and examinations may be conducted in a free and fair atmosphere. The New Wave outlines the benefits that the state of Emergency brought to the student community." - from Films Division India catalogue Programme: Prisoners of Conscience, Anand Patwardhan, India, 1978, 16mm, 45 minutes, b&w, sound *still above* The New Wave, Chandrasekhar Nair, India, 1976, 35mm on video, 9 minutes, b&w, sound

THE ILLINOIS PARABLES
Deborah Stratman appears in person to present The Illinois Parables (2016), a suite of Midwestern parables relaying histories of settlement, removal, technological breakthrough, violence, messianism and resistance, based on histories of the state of Illinois. Utilizing reenactment, archival footage, observational shooting, inter-titles and voiceover to tell its stories, the film suggests links between technological and religious abstraction, allowing its histories to become allegories that explore how we're shaped by conviction and ideology. "The Illinois Parables consider what might constitute a liturgical form. Not a sermon, but a form that questions what morality catalyzes, and what belief might teach us about nationhood. In our desire to explain the unknown, who or what do we end up blaming or endorsing?" (Deborah Stratman) Also screening: Stratman's 2014 film Hacked Circuit, which explores the thematic parallels between the Cinematic art of Foley recordings and the
contemporary climate of government surveillance while citing and sonically enacting Coppola's 1974 masterpiece The Conversation.

AN EVENING WITH TOMMY TURNER
Tommy Turner in attendance for discussion with programmer/media conservator Jon Dieringer (EAI).An artist working in print, performance, photography, and film, Tommy Turner is a key figure of the Downtown No Wave and Cinema of Transgression scenes. While working days as a genetic research scientist and nights as a bartender at the legendary Peppermint Lounge, the New York native rose to prominence through his zine Redrum and collaborations with artists such as Richard Kern and David Wojnarowicz. In the mid-1980s, Turner directed a number of arresting small-gauge films that retain the ability to inspire shock, awe, and revulsion, while conveying a biting sense of humor and incisive social commentary. With a cinematic oeuvre running approximately the length of a single feature film, Turner's subject matter has managed to encompass the intersections of black magic, domestic dysfunction, addiction, rock 'n' roll, demagoguery, murder, and wasted teenhood, often addressed through
gleefully graphic, lo-fi special effects that verge between clinical detachment and sardonic irreverence. Tonight's program will premiere brand new preservations of Turner's SIMONLAND and RAT TRAP, along with WHERE EVIL DWELLS, made with David Wojnarowicz. Both SIMONLAND and RAT TRAP were preserved by Fales Library & Special Collections/NYU in collaboration with Electronic Arts Intermix through the National Film Preservation Foundation Avant-Garde Masters program. Special thanks to Brent Phillips, Rebecca Cleman, Bill Brand, Richard Kern, and Tessa Hughes-Freeland. SIMONLAND (1984, 12 min, Super 8-to-16mm. Made with Richard Kern.) In the unsettling, absurdist SIMONLAND, a grotesque, televangelist-style demagogue leads his studio audience and isolated viewers through a psychotic game of Simon Says with twisted results. RAT TRAP (1985, 12 min, Super 8-to-16mm. Made with Tessa Hughes-Freeland.) A no-holds-barred portrait of addiction, RAT TRAP is an unflinching portrayal of a
junkie injecting heroin cut with footage of (already expired) rodents being tortured and maimed, all underscored by a fiery guitar rock solo, painting a grim picture of numbing daily grind, dependency, and domestic urban squalor. WHERE EVIL DWELLS (1985, 33 min, Super 8-to-16mm. Made with David Wojnarowicz.) Friends and collaborators, Turner and Wojnarowicz became fixated on the recent story of Ricky Kasso, teenage heavy metal fan and self-described "Acid King" of Northport, Long Island, who was the subject of media hysteria when he committed the pseudo-ritual-satanic murder of a fellow teen in the woods while wearing an AC/DC t-shirt. Shooting off a script based on interviews with Kasso's friends, the pair ultimately edited their footage into a 30-minute "trailer" that represents an anarchic, assaultive, and wildly expressionistic take on what Wojnarowicz described as "the imposed Hell of the suburbs." It's complemented by a spectacular title song by Wiseblood (a
collaboration between Roli Mosimann of Swans and J.G. Thirlwell of Foetus) and distorted hard rock radio jams. Total running time: ca. 60 min.

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.
