LIGHT SILENCES: SUPER 8 AND 16MM FILMS BY PAUL CLIPSON
A follow-up to the SILENT LIGHTS screening from 2016, this program features a new selection of films projected silent for the first time, presenting an unusual opportunity to experience these works in a different light. San Francisco-based filmmaker Paul Clipson often collaborates with sound artists and musicians on films, live performances, and installations. His films aim to bring to light subconscious visual preoccupations that reveal themselves while working in a stream of consciousness manner, combining densely layered, in-camera edited studies of figurative and abstract environments, in a process that encourages unplanned-for results, responding to and conversing with the temporal qualities of musical composition and live performance. His work has screened around the world in festivals and at sound & film events such as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, The New York Film Festival and the Cinémathèque Fran&ccedilaise. http://www.withinmirrors.org/ Film program (all screened on original Super 8mm reversal or 16mm film prints.): COMPOUND EYES (2011) Super 8mm, color/B&W, 7 minutes A series of short film studies, commissioned by the San Francisco Exploratorium, studying aspects of insect , animal life, viewed within a succession of environments in unexpected ways. Filmed in the Golden Gate Park Botanical Gardens, Academy of Arts & Sciences and San Francisco. ECHO PARK (2007) Super 8mm, 7 min., color/B&W Automatic-writing on film, using double exposures, macro imagery, dissolves, and in-camera editing to create a dream collage of Los Angeles, from the perspective of a plane and an arachnid dancing between water and sun. SUN PLACE (2007) Super 8mm, color, 7 minutes Propulsive in-camera editing sends this nature collage deep into the embraces of dandelions. CHORUS 16mm (*shot on Super 8mm), color, 7 minutes Three cities by night become one in this nocturnal journey through images and sounds in which space, color and light pass through the eye of the camera to create thoughts visualized before their conception. Filmed in San Francisco, New York and Rotterdam. CARIDEA AND ICHTYHES (2011) Super 8mm, color/B&W, 6 min. Water, fish and crustaceans overlay a city at night. OTHER STATES (2013) Super 8mm, color, 6 minutes An attempt through improvised in-camera multiple exposure, to capture a heightened, altered state, whether it be anxiety attack, hallucination or vision of madness. Shot in New York and San Francisco. LOVE AFTER LOVE (2014) 16mm, color/B&W, 7.5 minutes An impressionistic zoom-collage of a woman's walk along the Thames at dusk. LIQUID CASKET / WILDERNESS OF MIRRORS (2014) 16mm, color/B&W, 9.5 minutes A restless, traveling consciousness flies across lands vast and small, taking note of possible futures that hint at humankind's folly of expansion and alienation. Filmed in London, Leeds, Glasgow and Scotland TRAJECTIONS (2014) 16mm, color, 13.5 minutes Tracking shots of streets, alleys, walls, fences, and city landscapes are superimposed on top of each other moving in opposite directions- a moving collage of spaces passing themselves by. OVER WATER (2006) Super 8mm, 6 min., color The light and water of wintertime, viewed at 35,000 feet, over the U.S., somewhere between the East and West coasts. FEELER (2016) 16mm, color,/B&W, 7 minutes An imagining of dreams within dreams, conceived within an evolving series of environments, exploring the world: seeing, hearing and experiencing light, space, movement and sound in emotional juxtapositions, felt first, with an impact of presence, of gesture, of echo and explosion. Being experiential, multi-layered, fragmenting and fusing together, a place where there's no screen, no theatre, no darkness, only moments. Filmed in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Brisbane, Krakow, Sidney, Napa, Oakland and San Francisco. Total Running Time: 83 minutes Program screened by the filmmaker. $7-10

http://www.lafilmforum.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=111a8f9320&e=f36020cad0> 
7:30 pm, Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd.
ISM, ISM, ISM: BILINGUAL AESTHETICS: NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN LANGUAGES
Tickets: $10 general; $6 students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Tickets available in advance at https://bilingualaesthetics.bpt.me or at the door Language is a site of social, cultural and geographic agency. Hundreds of languages are spoken in Latin America, beyond the Spanish and Portuguese imposed with the Conquest. In the context of the Conquest of the Aztec Empire, the role of la Malinche, Hernán Cortéz’ translator, interpreter, and lover, was a central one, and she remains a potent and contested figure. This program explores the movement between languages as a manifestation of identitary pluralities. Unleashing the multiplication of heritage and affiliation in our contemporary landscape, these films reveal language as a will to power. The program ranges from explicit negotiations about land ownership in The Land Belongs to Those Who Work It (Chiapas Media Project, Mexico, 2005), in which the dialogue switches between Spanish and Tzeltal, to a more abstract exploration of a religious Inca celebration of change and new beginnings such as Pawqartampu (Felipe Esparza, Peru, 2015). The chief of the Guarani Mimbiá tribe narrates the extinction of the Tupinambá tribe in Sérgio Péo’s Ñanderu Panorâmica Tupinambá (Brazil, 1991). Vincent Carelli and the Centro de Trabalho Indigenista have for many years used video as a tool for activism and intercultural communication in remote Amazonian regions, as the short documentary A arca dos Zo’é illustrates vividly.

EC: RON RICE / JACK SMITH
Jack Smith SCOTCH TAPE (1962, 3 min, 16mm) A junkyard musical. FLAMING CREATURES (1963, 45 min, 16mm, b&w) "[Smith] graced the anarchic liberation of new American cinema with graphic and rhythmic power worthy of the best of formal cinema. He has attained for the first time in motion pictures a high level of art which is absolutely lacking in decorum; and a treatment of sex which makes us aware of the restraint of all previous filmmakers." -FILM CULTURE Ron Rice CHUMLUM (1964, 23 min, 16mm. With Jack Smith, Mario Montez, Beverly Grant, and Barbara Rubin. Music by Angus Maclise) "One of the underground's best and most influential films." -Peter Gidal Total running time: ca. 75 min.

EC: CARRIAGE TRADE
by Warren Sonbert. "With CARRIAGE TRADE, Sonbert began to challenge the theories espoused by the great Soviet filmmakers of the 1920s; he particularly disliked the 'knee-jerk' reaction produced by Eisensteinian montage. In both lectures and writings about his own style of editing, Sonbert described CARRIAGE TRADE as 'a jig-saw puzzle of postcards to produce varied displaced effects.' This approach, according to Sonbert, ultimately affords the viewer multi-faceted readings of the connections between shots through the spectator's assimilation of 'the changing relations of the movement of objects, the gestures of figures, familiar worldwide icons, rituals and reactions, rhythm, spacing, and density of images." -Jon Gartenberg

I AM MY OWN LABORATORY AND SHOT ON BLOOD: KOZMIKONIC ELECTRONICA
Vancouver filmmaker/media artist Oliver Hockenhull will be presenting two new films. Q&A Following Screenings. 1. I AM MY OWN LABORATORY (43 minute film — 2018) reflects on the life work of Amanda Feilding, Director of the Beckley Foundation for Consciousness Studies. Infamous for having trepanned herself in the early 1970's, as well as being the Countess of Wemyss and March and one of the world's most ardent drug policy change advocates and psychedelic pioneers. VISIT: FILM & TRAILER https://www.shinynewfilms.com/3954-2/ Produced by Moksha Media. 2. SHOT ON BLOOD: KOZMIKONIC ELECTRONICA (57 minutes) The Morphology of Nature and its relationship to Digital Imagery Formal issues: 1/2 of the film was shot using a hand cranked 35mm camera, a 1912 Bell and Howell 2709 — B. The other half of the film was shot in HD. The film was hand processed and using the colour matrix and gamma of a hand made emulsion (using my own tinted blood cells for grain — based on a 1930’s patent) the film was transferred to high definition video. The more abstracted colour layers were created via the application of a quite imperfect arnold's cat map on some of the data driven coloured hand processed material. An experimental, colourful film on electricity & hydro power & British Columbia & the beginnings of cinema via Eadweard Muybridge & the energy certificates of the Technocracy party & the absolute value of noise & the year 1957 & regional modernism & the Big Bang & Vermeer's “Milk Maid” & Poincaré recurrence theorem & the great Canadian cowboy singer Wilf Carter & Western Culture & the concept of Grace in Catholic painting & the Tathāgatas of Buddhism & Boris Karloff as Frankenstein reaching for the light.

RED SHIFT - GUNVOR NELSON + DAUGHTERS OF CHAOS - MARJORIE KELLER
Red Shift (1984) Gunvor Nelson; Daughters of Chaos (1980) Marjorie Keller. presented in 16mm by Canyon Cinema The personal and poetic cinema of Gunvor Nelson's Red Shift and Marjorie Keller's Daughters of Chaos explore relationships between mothers and daughters, the mysteries of growing up and growing old. RED SHIFT - ALL EXPECTATION Red Shift employs its cascading flow of fragmentary sounds and images to weave several strands of ideas and sensations into a complex web that moves freely from intriguing near-abstraction into poignantly specific articulation. It returns to many themes treated in Nelson's earlier films - aging, mortality, the physicality of the body, memory, the innate human need for control, the unexpected depiction of women, dreams, gaps between fantasy and reality, and gaps between people - and cast a passionate eye toward the visual mysteries that make each person and object unique. - Steve Anker, The Films of Gunvor Neson in Still Moving (2002) DAUGHTERS OF CHAOS Dominated as it is by nonlinear, prismatic editing featuring the color red, unfocused close-ups of multihued flowers, and glinting water, Daughters of Chaos is like a jewel-encrusted box that both represents and responds to the confusing process of becoming a woman in a culture understood as patriarchal... This film is both poetic and personal, but it is also significantly feminist in its acknowledgment of the complexity of female adolescence and in its critique of the seductive institutions that thwart women's development. - Robin Blaetz, In the Absence of Marjorie Keller in New England Review Vol. 26, No.4 (2005)

DAUGHTER OF THE DUST
Program: Daughters of the Dust (1991, dir. Julie Dash) At the dawn of the 20th century, a multi-generational family in the Gullah community on the Sea Islands off of South Carolina - former West African slaves who adopted many of their ancestors' Yoruba traditions - struggle to maintain their cultural heritage and folklore while contemplating a migration to the mainland, even further from their roots. The first wide release by a black female filmmaker, "Daughters of the Dust" was met with wild critical acclaim and rapturous audience response when it initially opened in 1991. Casting a long legacy, "Daughters of the Dust" still resonates today, most recently as a major in influence on Beyonce's video album "Lemonade." Restored (in conjunction with UCLA) for the first time with proper color grading overseen by cinematographer AJ Jafa, audiences will finally see the film exactly as Julie Dash intended. Total Run Time: 118 Minutes Bio: Julie Dash (born October 22, 1952) is an American fil
