IN PERSON: VIVIENNE DICK AND VERA DIKA
Vivienne Dick's films privilege women's bodies. Across her 1970s Super-8
works, women's movements, postures, words, and goals rise to the fore. All
this is enacted in a vibrant visual and aural New York City landscape. The
streets, as in She Had Her Gun All Ready, are inhabited, and imbued with the
excitement of colors, sounds and rhythms of a lived place. In Dick's recent
video work, the digital image now elicits a sense of alternate place, full
of color and sensuality. The women, often older, or in transition, address a
new world of truth, and of the imagination. In films like Augenblick, the
tactile, the mundane, and the super-real co-exist. And it is in the presence
of the women that we engage with our changing world. (Vera Dika) Program:
She Had Her Gun All Ready (1978, 28 min, super 8 / SD) This noir psychodrama
follows the relationship between two characters, played by Pat Place and
Lydia Lunch. Set in the Lower East Side in New York, the film revolves
around the power relations between two friends where one is dominated by, or
in thrall to the other. The relationship dynamic shifts halfway through the
film after a mirror scene, and the 'victim' begins to stalk her agressor.
The Irreducible Difference of the Other (2013, 27 min, HDV) This film
examines a world orientated towards war, terror, and consumption with
Franco-Irish actress Olwen Fouéré inhabiting the two personas of Antonin
Artaud and Russian poet Anna Akhmatova. In referencing key historical
moments, such as mass marches against the Iraq war, the Arab Spring and
recent anti- austerity protests, the film proclaims the desire a more
balanced world, which might lead to a renewal of relationship on both a
personal and global level. Red Moon Rising (2015, 15 min, HDV) A celebration
of the carnivalesque, through dance, performance and the spoken word. The
film reaches towards a renewal of our embodiment with the Earth as a
response to a belief in invincibility, and the desire of Man to dominate the
planets. A red moon is both a beacon, and a warning. Augenblick (2017, 13:38
min, HDV) Augenblick questions what it means to be human in a post-human
world. An accelerated view of the world and our place in it from animism and
a belief in the Goddess to Christianity and Humanism. Moving from age of
enlightenment into a digital age, what becomes of our relationship to each
other and to the earth?

THE FAMILIAR UNKNOWN: MYSTICISM IN THE PRESENT FUTURE 
Lauren Halsey: we still here, there, sees the Los Angeles-based artist
continuing her practice of community-based myth-making by regularly changing
an immersive space that will serve as a visionary archive reflecting the
diversity of everyday Black cultural experiences in South Central L.A.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition, this program features
experimental films and videos that engage with the mysterious, mystical, and
absurd as a way to create possibility from within the constraints and
restrictions of everyday life. These works by Amir George, Mike Henderson,
and dana washington powerfully meditate on the power of culture in relation
to the self and community. Through the use of archival footage, experimental
narrative elements, and musically-infused rituals of transformation and
transcendence, they collectively enunciate knowledge about the inner,
sociopolitical aspirations of Black people and communities while utilizing
unconventional approaches to history, collective memory, and the filmmaking
process. Through an engagement with the mystical and mysterious, these films
attempt to create possibility from within the constraints and restrictions
of everyday life. Curated by Jheanelle Brown and Darol Kae. INFO

PRELINGER/AMATUERS+JOHNSON/INDUSTRIALS+
The Bay’s best loved librarian christens our now-regular Archive Evening
with Centers and Edges: Home Movie Revelations and Provocations. With these
elliptical, vernacular histories of deviant behaviors, Rick finally
unveils—and live narrates!—long-hidden footage that will surprise...even
shock: Booze parties of failed St. Louis contractors, naïve surrealism from
Detroit POV shooters, and the first part of his Greater Mexico project—the
Southwest desert filmed in the 30s, but never publically screened until now.
Opening: The SF-based Internet Archive, truly a godsend for human cultural
history, scans and makes freely available both amateur and industrial films
of practically every format. Insiders Tim Johnson and LX Rudis share some of
the most anomalous entries in its motion picture collection, including Isaac
Asimov’s Artificial Man, The Internet in 1998, Experiments in Motion
Graphics, and four other fragments...some re-mixed!! Free Civil Defense
crackers.
