> *LIGHTNING AND THUNDER: 16MM FILMS BY FERN SILVA*
> FILMMAKER IN PERSON! Experimental Response Cinema is proud to welcome Fern
> Silva for an in-person screening of a selection of his 16mm works. With his
> distinct sonic and cinematographic language, Silva's films describe the
> hybrid mythologies of globalism. His films consider methods of narrative,
> ethnographic, and documentary filmmaking as the starting point for
> structural experimentation. Ride Like Lightning, Crash Like
> Thunder-2017-8.5mins: Framed within the vision of the Hudson River School
> and the legend of Rip Van Winkle, Ride Like Lightning, Crash Like Thunder
> unfolds as a storm approaches on the horizon. An uncertain future is in
> store as the creeping hand of history disrupts nature and civility in the
> Hudson River regions of Upstate New York. The Watchmen-2017-10mins.: In The
> Watchmen, pulsating orbs, panopticons, roadside rest stops, and
> subterranean labyrinths confront the scope of human consequences and the
> entanglement of our seeking bodies. Wayward Fronds -2015-13.5mins: Mermaids
> flip a tale of twin detriments, domiciles cradle morph invaders, crocodile
> trails swallow two-legged twigs in a fecund mash of nature's outlaws…
> down in the Everglades. Tender Feet-2013-10.5: Tender Feet was shot on the
> road in the southwest leading up to the not quite so cataclysmic and
> transformative events anticipated to take place around Dec. 21st 2012. As
> digits flipped on the odometer, so did the days in the Mayan calendar
> shedding light and darkness on charred forests, arid landscapes, falling
> stars, destructive vortexes, fortune telling traffic signs, and ticking
> time bombs… Concrete Parlay-2012-18mins.: Carried by the frenetic energy
> of a magic carpet, Concrete Parlay is a metaphysical flight that weaves
> among visual kernels of the anthropic and biological worlds. From
> prehistoric horseshoe crabs strewn among modern refuse, stoic pyramids
> foregrounded by golf course maintenance, mystic rituals evoking avian
> gestures, to contemporary political upheaval equalized by natural
> phenomena-the poetic equivalence among images transcends particular
> umwelten, as the disorienting whirl of the compass connotes the kinetic
> nature of existence. -Aily Nash Passage Upon the Plume-2011-6.5mins.:
> "Those who go thither, they return not again." Plumes dust the arid land,
> east to west, shapeshifting as they lift in ascension. Something lowers. An
> ark ran aground where revolution took root: ropes raise stones in baskets.
> Hearts heavier and lighter than the feather, permitted passage. Tethered or
> freed, resting from life or dawning anew. -Charity Coleman

> under the hoods of cars, upon labor techniques that either cling to the

> is like a huge mouth, or maybe a paper shredder. I compose a new text out
> of these scraps and thus stage a paper-chase. My film is made up of many

> *THE FILMS OF LARRY GOTTHEIM: PROGRAM 5*
> FOG LINE (1970, 10.5 min, 16mm, b&w) The fog lifts on a scene. The trees
> stand there, manifesting their being. They have a soft shape without
> outline. The power lines relate to drawing rather than painting, the
> controlling mind rather than the imagination. The viewer is invited to
> explore the screen, looking here and there, each person following a
> different path. DOORWAY (1970, 7.5 min, 16mm, b&w) Finally I moved the
> camera, in a slow pan from one side of the wide door of my wife's pottery
> studio to the other. The doorway separates inside from outside. There is a
> pulse of vision that emanates out from the camera, making a moving cow
> stand frozen behind another. NATURAL SELECTION (1983, 35 min, 16mm) Alfons
> Schilling uses his sculptural viewing devices to experience landscapes. My
> students film him. Translation issues lead us to think about glossolalia,
> speaking in tongues. We are invited to the laboratory of André Roch
> Lecours, who studies the relationship between glossolalia and the brain. I
> edited the film adding my own material. Alfons and Roch become avatars of
> my self. SORRY/HEAR US (1984, 8 min, 16mm) We deconstruct a poem's language
> by playing it backwards until some words emerge from the backward text. The
> students create images that illustrate this new text. Total running time:
> ca. 65 min.

> *THE FILMS OF LARRY GOTTHEIM: PROGRAM 6*
> THE RED THREAD (1987, 17 min, 16mm) My actual image appears as an ironic
> avatar of my real filmmaker self. It is challenged by a weaver with whom I
> fell into a relationship. The real me, the filmmaker me, is there, for
> example in the piano passages and above all with the children in the
> schoolyard, a ceremonial dance. TREE OF KNOWLEDGE (ELECTIVE AFFINITIES,
> PART 4) (1980, 60 min, 16mm) A documentary film about paranoid conditions
> is matched to a flow of images of an apple tree in my back yard filmed
> wildly and without forethought. The radical breaking of the previous
> passivity of the camera had deep psychological dimensions. Stockyard sounds
> are inserted, as are images of children from a film about the seasons. They
> are the ones who are learning and also part of the didactic mechanics of
> the film. So are the paranoid patients.

> Screening night of videos by New York based artists Lili Chin and Gautam
> Kansara as part of the gallery’s series *YES*.The two artists, who have
> previously appeared in group screening programs presented by the gallery,
> not only work with single-channel works but have expanded their practices
> over the years to include split-screen and multiple channels as well as
> multi-media installation, often questioning and challenging the traditional
> concept of screen, incorporating various surfaces and textures including
> paper, glass, mulch, and others. Storytelling, memory, nature, and current
> affairs and post 9/11 politics in the context of personal history and
> culture are also areas of interest for both artists, who despite their
> similarities take different approaches in their works. Kansara frequently
> employs layering of imagery, revealed through erasure and other techniques
> involving the use of green screen, and incorporating actual conversations
> of himself with family members about various personal and political subject
> matters. Chin, on the other hand, remains behind the camera as an observer,
> recruiting friends as actors in some of the works, while in others
> animating or engaging with ceramics and artworks in other mediums by the
> artist. Many of her works are shot on film – Super 8mm and 16mm – and the
> materiality of the medium plays a critical role. Additional info & program

> BARN RUSHES (1971, 34 min, 16mm) I filmed a simple barn I passed every day
> using the fastest camera speed. The film is made of eight passes across the
> barn, each the length of a 100-foot roll of film. The repetition became a
> fruitful element. A miracle occurs at the end, as the foreground grasses
> seem to pass behind the barn. The film is a vision. MACHETE GILLETE… MAMA
> (1989, 45 min, 16mm) Filmed during three trips to the Dominican Republic.
> My interest in the superimposition of identities led to a focus on
> ceremonies that involved possession. While filming at a batey (a sugar
> workers' settlement), a friend made off with the rental car. He had an
> accident on a rural road. A Haitian worker on a motorcycle was killed. As
> part of a convoluted arrangement to spare him I said I had been the driver
> and so spent two days in jail. This was a major superimposition of my
> identity with his. A Dominican friend narrates a version of my experiences.
> The film is in no way a travel documentary. Many scenes reveal the
> cinematic ceremony outside the performed ceremonies.

> BLUES (1969, 8.5 min, 16mm) A close-up, unedited view of a bowl of
> blueberries and milk. A spoon enters and scoops up some berries, presumably
> to be eaten, until they are all gone. The milk, which is there from the
> beginning, manifests itself more and more as the berries are removed, and
> finally seems to rise up and become awash in the light generated when the
> camera roll is removed from the camera. This is my first real film; all the
> others rise out of it. YOUR TELEVISION TRAVELER (1991, 15 min, 16mm) The
> core material is space footage paired with audio of an intimate discussion
> with a Cuban woman. Then images taken in Cuba are superimposed with sounds
> from a documentary about space flight. Astronauts internalize an identity
> with the racist comic character of a Hispanic astronaut, Jose Jimenez, and
> Castro comes to power. Finally we see material from a TV series in which
> the "TV Traveler" speaks about the Florida turpentine industry, a
> counterpart to the sugar industry run by slaves and former slaves across
> the Caribbean. CHANTS AND DANCES FOR HAND (1991-2017, 40 min, digital) This
> work comprises material shot in Haiti. There are scenes of Vodou
> ceremonies, a violent uprising, of movie theaters, and images from my
> personal life that include my Haitian son Hand. The soundtrack is simply
> what accompanied the images. This is far from a "documentary" about Vodou.
> The ceremony of possession extends into politics, war, cooking, the movies,
> and the electronic nature of video. This is also a meditation on death. The
> most important dance takes place in the viewer's mind. Total running time:

> FILMMAKER MADSEN MINAX IN PERSON! "Near Futures" is a duet of mid-length

> SAND by Michael Robinson. Both films position groups of mystical beings
> amid crumbling landscapes, where they must forge for the leftovers of their
> previous cultures. Feel the breeze in your hair, and the world crumbling
> through your fingers. In the broken near future of Robinson's CIRCLE IN THE
> SAND, a band of listless vagabonds ambles across a war-torn coastal
> territory, supervised and sorted by a group of idle soldiers. These ragged
> souls conjure an unstable magic, fueled by their own apathy. Minax's THE
> YEAR I BROKE MY VOICE is based upon interpretations and reenactments from
> the 1980s coming-of-age films THE OUTSIDERS, STAND BY ME, and THE YEAR MY
> VOICE BROKE. Trans and gender-nonconforming adults occupy the roles

> Swinton, Jeremy Davies, John O'Keefe, Josh Kornbluth, and Karen Black.)
> "Loneliness breeds strange bedfellows. Rosetta Stone (played to a timorous
> 't' by Tilda Swinton), a bashful biogeneticist, downloads her own DNA into
> an experimental A.I. program, creating a trio of Self-Replicating
> Automatons (SRAs). Olive, Marine, and Ruby (Swinton3) live in seclusion in
> a color-coordinated condo where they spend their time Web-surfing,
> mainlining protein, and being inundated by motivational tapes that shape
> their sense of the 'human.' Ensconced like priestesses in shimmering robes,
> the SRA sisters oscillate between machine superiority - 'We're
> self-replicating' - and devolution - 'When you are defensive and regressive
> you seem completely human.' Beyond their jacked-in consciousness, they
> yearn for attachments, but not the e-mail kind. Hershman Leeson has
> modified the gene for humor, creating a franken-farce wired for witticisms.
> Designed with sleek graphical interfaces, TEKNOLUST bodes of a future when
> we will rise through 'flesh, spirit' to 'soul, icon.' Yet the film is also
> about something more fundamentally human - the impulse to fill the world

> decades – from “eros.ion” (1999), a shutter-less Super8mm projection
> performance, to Eros’ most recent and never-before-seen “Flick or Film”
> (2017) – revolve primarily around the artist’s investigation of film as an
> ephemeral, physical medium and the ways of transforming it to in effect
> extend its life, including through collaging, spray paint, burning, burial,
> and various manually activated means of projection. Among the other works
> in the program are Eros’ new iteration of his 2002 “Aurora Borealis” a
> cinematic homage to Joseph Cornell and Jean Painlevé shown this time in its
> original 16mm format with live foley and electronics soundtrack by Rachael
> Guma and Gabriel Guma (aka Gestalt Tone Color); “Liquid Crystal” (2000), a
> film-less projection performance with light beams passing through cut
> crystal drinking glasses, lenses, whiskey and water; and one of Eros’ best
> known works “burn (or, The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics)”, a video in which a
> found Super8mm filmstrip of 1970s bondage porn burns frame-by-frame as it
> is pulled through a damaged projector to a soundtrack from Martin
