WHEN I STOP LOOKING:  SHORT FILMS AND SMALL PRINTS BY TODD EDWARD HERMAN
Todd Edward Herman's haunting imagery suggests mysteriously entwined narratives, drawing no clear lines between fiction and fact. Herman utilizes photography, videography and painting as departure points for thirty exquisitely printed limited edition prints. Dealing with themes of the body and transience, representational taboos, spectatorship and complicity, his work looks to a rare beauty, making no claims to journalistic inquiry.  Among the selected films screening at Seidel City will be Herman's award winning short film Cabinet, a visceral and poetic documentary on death, mourning and life beginning anew. Also screening will be Herman's When I Stop Looking, a film that looks beyond the imprint of appearances, invoking the intensely private worlds of those portrayed, each of whom lives with significant facial and cranial conditions; a vivid affirmation of existence comes forward, before anything else.  Todd Edward Herman has been the recipient of many awards for his work
including the San Francisco International Film Festival's New Vision Award, the Art Council of Northern Ireland's Artist in Residence Award, Grants from the San Francisco Film Arts Foundation, a Western States Regional Media Arts Fellowship, Taipei Artist Village Residency, and the San Francisco Art Commission's Emerging Curator Award. He has presented his work at such venues as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, San Francisco International Film Festival, Southbank Centre, Anthology Film Archives, San Francisco Cinematheque, and Pacific Film Archives.

JEM COHEN: WORLD WITHOUT END (NO REPORTED INCIDENTS)
Quite close to London, but for many, a million miles away, Southend-on-Sea is a town along the Thames estuary. World Without End (No Reported Incidents), the new documentary from Jem Cohen, is a portrait of this place–everyday streets, everyday birds, unflagging tides, mud, and sky. But it is also about humanity and history, about prize-winning Indian curries, an encyclopedic universe of hats, and a nearly lost world of proto-punk music. ARTIST IN ATTENDANCE.

NEW WORKS SALON XXXVIII
The New Works Salons series is a casual forum for the presentation and discussion of new works in film, video, sound, and performance, with local and visiting artists often in-person to introduce their work. This program will include works by Christina Battle, Gelare Koshkgozaran, Azadeh Navai, Julie Sadowski, Penelope Uribe-Abee, and Walter Vargas. Christina Battle’s Notes to Self is an ongoing series of videos documenting a simple, repetitive act as a way to mimic our fleeting engagement with social media status updates. Fragments of text, in the form of notes to myself, are set on fire with varying degrees of success. Unlike social media updates, the fate of these updates are controlled and finite, existing only for a few seconds before being completely destroyed. The notes, which range from humourous reminders and revelations to recollections about larger societal events, are simple in both form and execution, allowing for a critical and considered viewing response.
Gelare Khoshgozaran will show her work An Analog Poem for Super 8 and voice, which was commissioned by Echo Park Film Center. Azadeh Navai will show her 16mm film Remembering the Pentagons, a slow, rhythmic, and contemplative journey into her earliest childhood memories. With an old 16mm Bolex and a hand-made pinhole camera, Navai returns to Tehran and Esfahan, Iran, where the perceptions and recollections of places, emotions, and scents serve as vehicles through which she exposes a deeply personal landscape. She asks — what is the texture of memory? In what ways does time — the light, wind, and air of history — wear upon the monuments and the images of the past? Born in Tehran during the Iran-Iraq war, Navai seeks to access a time of personal turmoil both for her family and for her birth country in this poetic capturing of place, history and memory. Penelope Uribe-Abee will show her new work Practice: a video, video sketch, and/or exercise mainly crafted out of personal
heartbreak and coping. This video was made as an effort to make more personal, insular work while still preserving the idea of emotional accessibility in an audience. This is one part in a series of depicted analogies that explore how basic actions and gestures like playing the drums can serve as representations for actions with larger emotional implications: like falling in love. Walter Vargas will show Kru steez all no , a Super 8 double projection with coordinated memes high on the current meme economy @ time of showing #bulb #democracy #doesitreallywork #inheat. Julie Sadowski is a Polish-American artist living in Los Angeles. She is simultaneously excited and severely overwhelmed with the excess of images in the world, including those she created herself. She attempts to create order out of the chaos of the visible world by employing her own subjective systems of logic.

PAUL CLIPSON WITH SHINYA SUGIMOTO & JEREMY YOUNG PRESENT TOTAL FICTION + NATHANIEL MANN

FLICKER AND WOW 1
One of two programs of recent avant-garde short films curated for Big Ears. Empyrean by Kalpana Subramanian (6:20, Digital) An abstract, meditative piece, Empyrean was “filmed” at the altar of celluloid cinema. Using a mobile phone camera, Subramanian intercepted mediated light from the projector during screenings of various 16mm prints of films by Stan Brakhage (1933-2003). The film is part of her larger, art-based research project, Light Mediated: Eyes on Brakhage, which explores the poetics of the moving image. Them Apples by Adam R. Levine (2:40, 16mm) Using the parallel temporal forms of the three-minute pop song and the 16mm camera roll, Them Apples runs The Beatles’ “Back In The U.S.S.R.” through iTunes Visualizer to create an optical sound experiment in which synaesthesia and pop cultural memory are turned back on themselves.   1_ _ _ _1 by Karissa Hahn (3:00, Digital) One roll of super 8. A ‘collaboration’ or rather, a collusion of sorts. As for my volition . . . I
fall, you falter. Thinking about “A Young Girl Defending Herself against Eros” by William Adolphe Bouguereau, 1880. Thinking about . . . suspense/tension, taking us down with me. Deux Champs (Two Fields) by Kevin Obsatz (7:50, Digital) In 1953, a young photographer named Victor Obsatz created a double-exposed portrait of Marcel Duchamp by mistake. 55 years later that photo appeared in the pages of Smithsonian Magazine and was featured at a Duchamp retrospective. Deux Champs (Two Fields) is a hand-processed reflection on the distant memory of that day and everything that has happened since. As Without So Within by Manuela De Laborde (24:20, 16mm) De Laborde has usefully described the making of As Without So Within as “returning to Montessori.” Built from closeup images of handmade “props” (her preferred term), the film reveals, reworks, and illuminates several fundamental components of experimental filmmaking: abstraction, sculpture, and the material of celluloid itself.
Koropokkuru by Akiko Maruyama and Philippe Roy (4:10, Digital) A moving portrayal of an ineffable force that can be humanlike or embody itself within displayed objects. Inspired by concepts from the Koropokkuru folktale within Japanese Ainu culture, as well as The Invisible Man.

MEREDITH MONK: BOOK OF DAYS
A rare 35mm public screening of Meredith Monk's 1989 feature film BOOK OF DAYS. “Meredith Monk has been an anomaly for much of her 27-year career as a composer and choreographer, creating dances that were operas, operas that were dances and mythic theater pieces that were operas and dances. To complicate matters, Ms. Monk is also a filmmaker. In Book of Days, she has created a film that is essentially a moving picture." -- Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

JEM COHEN: LOST BOOK FOUND
The result of over five years of Super-8 and 16mm filming on New York City streets, Lost Book Found melds documentary and narrative into a complex meditation on city life. The piece revolves around a mysterious notebook filled with obsessive listings of places, objects, and incidents. These listings serve as the key to a hidden city: a city of unconsidered geographies and layered artifacts—the relics of low-level capitalism and the debris of countless forgotten narratives.

FLICKER & WOW 2
The second of two programs of recent avant-garde short films curated for Big Ears. Parallel Inquiries by Christina C Nguyen (9:25, 16mm) sound from image / image from color // inquiries into the analog film system Nova Remnants by Stefan Grabowski (10:30, Digital) A nova remnant consists of matter left behind by a cataclysmic nuclear explosion, causing the intense and sudden brightening of a star. Due to the relatively short time-span over which they occur, nova remnants generally no longer exist by the time their light reaches us on Earth. Ghost Comb. by Ryland Walker Knight (7:15, Digital) A meditation on life as text, and how we may outlive our finite selves in the realm of the imaginary. Spotlight on a Brick Wall by Alee Peoples and Mike Stoltz (8:00, 16mm) A performance film that navigates expectations of both the audience and the makers. A series of false starts. Dub treatment on the laugh track. Little Orphant Annie by Bill Morrison (7:00, Digital) Little Orphant Annie
is a re-edit of a silent film of the same title from 1918, directed by Colin Campbell. Two reels from an original nitrate print were scanned and re-edited to make the new film, which follows the structure of the poem written by James Whitcomb Riley in 1885. Riley is heard reciting his poem in a recording made in 1912. The poem is also heard read by Kelli Shay Hix in 2016, who additionally wrote and performs the song, “The Swimmer.” One Roll in the Blackness by Chris Kennedy (3:10, 16mm) Keiji Haino, live in Toronto, June 22, 2011. A single roll of film, shot one frame at a time. Special thanks to Keiji Haino and Adam Rosen.

21:00, Z-Bar, Bergstraße 2, 10115 Berlin-Mitte, Germany
DIRECTORS LOUNGE SCREENING - ANA BILANKOV - NIGHT RIDERS
Ana Bilankov, Berlin based artist with Croatian background, creates videos connected with peculiar places in different European cities, Moscow and New York, connected with the geographies and stories of those places, mostly interwoven with her own biography or experience. Her short films often combine a brittle visual poetry with rarified narratives on the soundtrack. Her training in art history and German studies in Zagreb together with her Master in Art in Context in Berlin seem to give her the intuition to pick out places and situations that become metaphors for things unspoken or stories untold. It may also have been her biography, which sensitized her for the hidden traces in human geographies, namely her escape from war while it spread over former Yugoslavia. The artist on the other hand calls it her “search for Roland Barthes' punctum” in the geography of the city. -*°*- Her video pictures are conceived like extended snapshots that unfold, and become meaningful over
time. Sound and text work complementary and associative to the pictures and are often from more divers sources than the image. When she points to the former Transatlantic slave trade connected with the sugar manufacturing in Bristol in her film “Sweet Home”, to the poisonous wreckage of Newtown Creek of East River NY in “New Town Future Film”, or to the story of an old broken Jewish House in Vienna (“I want to get out”), the artist never uses a traditional documentary style or storytelling. Instead, the films often comprise a poetic multi-layered audio-visual composition that leaves it open to the viewer to follow all the laid-out traces or to create their own associative connections. -*°*- Her film “U Ratu i Revoluciji / In War and Revolution” goes back to Croatia to visit her grandmother and to look for the traces of a book about education during the resistance against the Nazi occupation written by her grandfather, which disappeared as "communist and inappropriate" during
political changes an the war of the early 1990s in Croatia.

APPARITIONS
55 min | 2 x 16mm hand processed colour + B&W), 2016. 16mm expanded cinema performance by Alex MacKenzie Presented by FAVA & Theatre of the New Heart. Where: FAVA Exhibition Suite (9722 102 St, 2nd Floor). Admission by donation. Inspired by early stereo imaging and the clash and collusion of socioeconomic forces, this work seeks to dismantle cinematic codes while foregrounding projector and light as sculpture: a conscious corruption of and interference with 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.

APRIL1: REEVES/STREET/THEISE+: A ROLL FOR PETER
Last year the film world was saddened by the loss of Peter Hutton, a beloved Bard prof with a singular shooting style: 100’ rolls of b/w silent raw stock, loaded into the Bolex and looking to the land- (and sea-)scape. This project was initiated in which filmmakers were invited to shoot a single roll in remembrance and homage. The touring program—here introduced by Eric Theise--consists of of 45 mins. of single projection and 15 mins. of double-, with contributions from David Gatten, Peter Rose, Lynne Sachs, Robbie Land, Eve Heller, Jacob Burckhardt, Cassandra Bull, Timoleon Wilkins, Dominic Angerame, and very many more. The show’s second section is a half-hour of 16mm *sound* shorts from the project’s principals: Theise (with sax accompanist John Ingle), Jenn Reeves, Mark Street, and Hutton himself (In Marin County).
