SHOW & TELL: HELGA FANDERL
CORRESPONDENCES: THE SILENT FILMS OF HELGA FANDERL German filmmaker Helga Fanderl makes her first visit to Anthology in many years to present this specially-selected program drawn from her astoundingly vast body of silent Super-8mm films and 16mm blow-ups (she has made around 1,000 short films since 1986). A onetime student of both Peter Kubelka and Robert Breer, Fanderl makes her work impressionistically and intuitively, in response to the rhythms, forms, textures, and colors she encounters, and always limits herself to in-camera editing, so that each film becomes a reflection of the process of its own creation. Her practice is distinguished as well by her commitment to a particular way of presenting her work in public: generally projecting the films herself from within the screening space, Fanderl conceives of each screening program as a unique 'montage' of individual works that together comprise a kind of ephemeral, never-to-be-repeated 'film' in their own right (an approach made possible by the sheer multitude of pieces she's created over the years). The interplay of the varied films with their different motifs and rhythms evokes ever-changing and infinitely diverse correspondences and contrasts, and transforms each screening into a unique performance, more than a fixed presentation. "My films record encounters with events and images in the real world that attract me. There is no postproduction in my work. Every single film preserves and reflects the traces of its creation, the sensations and emotions I felt in the moment of filming." -Helga Fanderl SUPER-8MM: FOUNTAIN / BRUNNEN 2000, 3.5 min, Super-8mm GIRLS / MÄDCHEN 1995, 2 min, Super-8mm BULRUSHES / BINSEN 2003, 2.5 min, Super-8mm CAROUSEL / KARUSSELL 2006, 3 min, Super-8mm WATER PLANTS / WASSERPFLANZEN 2017, 2.5 min, Super-8mm LEAVES ON A GLASS ROOF / BLÄTTER AUF DEM GLASDACH 2017, 3.5 min, Super-8mm CLOUDS OVER THE PALAIS ROYAL / WOLKEN ÜBER DEM PALAIS ROYAL 2018, 3.5 min, Super-8mm CIRCULATION TANK / UMLAUFTANK 2017, 3.5 min, Super-8mm MIRRORED / GESPIEGELT 2018, 3.5 min, Super-8mm FLOWERING TREE / BLÜTENBAUM 2018, 1.5 min, Super-8mm SCHOOL OF BEEKEEPERS / IMKERSCHULE 2018, 30 sec, Super-8mm PLEIN-AIR PHOTOS / PLEINAIR FOTOS 2018, 1 min, Super-8mm MIMOSAS IN THE WIND / MIMOSEN IM WIND 2018, 3.5 min, Super-8mm 16MM: NIGHT ON A CANAL / NACHT AM KANAL 2002, 1 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm SNOWFALL / SCHNEEFALL 2010, 1.5 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm WHITE FLOWERS / WEIßE BLUMEN 2016, 1.5 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm WILD GEESE / WILDGÄNSE 2016, 3.5 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm LEOPARD 2012, 3 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm LEAVES / LAUB 2010, 1.5 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm RUST / ROST 2010, 3 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm CONTAINER 2011, 1 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm GLASSES / GLÄSER 2011, 2 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm YELLOW LEAVES / GELBE BLÄTTER 2010, 1 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm STREAM / STROM 2010, 3 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm Total running time: ca. 65 min.

SCRITTI POLITTI1: ADAM KHALIL/BAYLEY SWEITZER'S "EMPTY METAL"
In our co-presentation with PFA, both sides of the Bay are mobilized by the excitement around this feature debut from a pair of young radicals out of Brooklyn’s fabled Union Docs incubator. With mass surveillance and pervasive policing as context, both outside and in the fiction, Adam Khalil and Bayley Sweitzer, here in the flesh, have managed to conjure a revolutionary spirit at world’s end. Set in the near future, their speculative drama, just a few degrees off our current climate of national collapse, opens up a space for imaginative story-telling...but is still close enough to a possible present to pop up in Doc Fests! In their taut thriller, a punk band is coerced into an assassination plot by militant Native Americans, with support from hackers and hermits. The lives of these several people, at extreme poles of the nation’s social consciousness, weave together into a collective against our American Apocalypse. The evening opens with a selection of trailers and clips from the subversive cinema that inspired our guests: Ice, Born in Flames, Southland Tales, et al.

SIGHT UNSEEN presents Canyon Cinema 50 Film Tour Presented by David Dinnell Q&A with curator, David Dinnell and filmmaker, Stephanie Barber immediately following the screening. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION ASSOCIATIONS is titled after John Smith’s 1975 film, a joyfully dense rebus-like image-word construction. Smith’s film is preceded by Sara Kathryn Arledge’s rarely seen 1958 work What is A Man, a film years ahead of its time, and Mark Toscano’s 2012 piece Releasing Human Energies, which utilizes film laboratory test footage of a “China Girl” set to a found text read by Morgan Fisher. The program also features Abigail Child’s classic 1989 film Mercy, from her celebrated “Is This What You Were Born For?” series; canonical works by Phil Solomon, Barbara Hammer, Robert Breer, and Robert Nelson; and two recent restorations: the humorously poignant Confessions by Curt McDowell and Akbar, Richard Myers’ extraordinary 1970 portrait of young black filmmaker and student, Akbar Ahmed.

INFRARED PROGRAM 4 - JEFF PREISS' STOP
About INFRARED: In 2017, the City of San Francisco indicated intention to designate a portion of its Tenderloin neighborhood (a portion which includes CounterPulse and the office of San Francisco Cinematheque Cinematheque) as the “Compton’s Transgender, Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual District” in reference to a 1966 protest action held at Compton’s Cafeteria, located at the intersection of Turk and Taylor Streets in San Francisco. This pre-Stonewall action is recognized as a significant milestone in queer and transgender political activism. In celebration of this designation—the first legally recognized municipal transgender district in the world—San Francisco Cinematheque is proud to present INFRARED, four nights of experimental films by and about transgender, nonbinary and gender nonconforming artists curated by transgender filmmaker Malic Amalya. Full series details available here. STOP (1995–2012) by Jeff Preiss; 16mm to digital video, color, sound, 120 minutes, exhibition file from the maker In the tradition of home movies, Jeff Preiss’ experimental documentary STOP begins in his child’s early years and concludes in his child’s teenage years. In brief, rhythmic flashes, subjects repeat in cycles while others form isolated episodes. The formation of an art gallery entangles with family celebrations. Quotidian violence—including a white man in a Native American costume—intertwines with transportation and television programs. London and New York City are captured as they mourn the loss of Princess Diana and react in shock to the September 11th attacks. Silence and atmospheric ambiance alter, while light leaks and jump cuts pulse throughout the film. Over the course of sixteen years, Priess’ child is the only reliable marker of time. The film not only chronicles advancing age. It also maps the advancing self-awareness that differentiates from parental expectations. Preiss’ camera does not distance, judge or sensationalize but provides a platform for his child to proclaim his gender identity. (Malic Amalya) “Airplanes, holidays, tigers, funerals, friends, dogs, car crashes, dead birds, the Twin Towers, 14th Street, clouds, windshield wipers, rain, buildings, terraces, babies, kids, old people, Stan Brakhage, art, movies, Planet of the Apes, a monkey reading a newspaper, New York, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Boston, apartments, fireworks, flags, houses, terraces, beaches, trains, cars, driftwood, billboards, Los Angeles, September 11, Ground Zero, George W.

This is a sampling of what enters the world of Jeff Preiss’s STOP, a film of beautiful observations and revelations, chronicling magnificent transformations and recent history with a feverish urgency.” (Giampaolo Bianconi: “In Retrospect: Jeff Preiss’ STOP. The Brooklyn Rail) “Among the stops referred to in the title, one was the act of assigning an end within the accumulating mass of my personal archive—so that a film could be possibly shaped. Many converging threads of ends and transformations were candidates: the nearing end of celluloid film and the end of the 4 x 3 video standard—or the end of an archival set as I approached camera roll #2500. But most evident was the quintessential end of nearly all home-movie cycles: the awkward end of my child’s prepubescence—in this case hinging on a heroically decisive transformation of gender expression. :It was not until this particular end was in sight that I began to consider the possibility of illusionary synchronized sound. Maybe the spring-driven Bolex I used exclusively had made too convincing a case as the sole-silent technology—but now moved by the connection-disconnection of the two media channels somehow mirroring the fit/non-fit of the body, I started assigning alternating sections to be post-synchronized—and having on no occasion recorded sound along with the film, this required a process diametrically opposed to shooting’s immediacy, one that was entirely fictional. In all sixteen years, on only one occasion did I have access to simultaneously recorded sound. It was just by chance that a friend was shooting video alongside me and sometime later realized it would be useful. Only a few seconds of my kid speaking directly to camera declaring the right of gender self-determination.” (Jeff Preiss)

Introduction by Tony Richmond, Cinematographer ! More commonly known as Sympathy for the Devil after re-editing by its producer, One Plus One, filmed in 1968, is one of the most complex and feisty films of that year. The producer altered the ending, changing Godard’s intended meaning, provoking Godard to punch the producer after the revised cut was first revealed at the London Film Festival in November 1968. Godard’s original edit, One Plus One, had some screenings in the first year (we found record of one in San Francisco in a 1970 Rolling Stone review), but was never regularly distributed in the US after that. Now ABKCO, the owners of US rights of both versions, have restored both in 4K, releasing them in October 2018. Filmforum is proud to present the Los Angeles (and possibly the US) premiere of the new restoration of One Plus One, Godard’s original cut. Featuring the Rolling Stones working out their landmark song “Sympathy for the Devil” in a recording studio in June 1968, intercut with several scenarios devised by Godard to convey his vision of the inhumane flaws of capitalism, and his views of the actions of that year, One Plus One has been a controversial film from its original appearance, highly praised and damned. You won’t want to miss this critical cinematic expression of 1968 from one of the world’s most intellectual and complex filmmakers. Tickets: $15 general; $10 for seniors; $8 for students with ID; free for Filmforum and MOCA members. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3620859 or at the door.

IMAGING ACTORS WITH STACEY STEERS AND LYNN HERSHMAN LEESON
Two media artists who presented memorable programs during HCAF’s first decade return to Houston with a selection of works that play with the images of notable Hollywood actresses. Artist Lynn Hershman will screen her latest film, Vertighost (2017, 12 min), which offers a feminist riff on Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and the characters of Carlotta and Madeline played by Kim Novak. Stacey Steers will project her two latest handmade collage films, Night Hunter (2011, 16 min) , and Edge of Alchemy (2017, 19 min), part of her trilogy of films examining women’s inner worlds. Steers cuts out movie frames of silent film stars Lillian Gish, Mary Pickford, and Janet Gaynor, and sets them in surreal, environments, built by hand from fragments of 19th century engravings and illustrations.

TRANS FILM: ON THE RECORD
GUEST CURATED AND PRESENTED BY DORIAN FRASER In this selection of short films featuring indigenous and Canadian trans, two-spirit, and gender nonconforming filmmakers, personal narratives are pulled from albums, journals, and film stills to subvert the 'clinical' cinematic gaze of traditional documentary. GENDERTROUBLEMAKERS is what you get when two broke, pissed-off trans dykes respond to cis narratives around trans experiences in the early 1990s in metropolitan Toronto. PUTTING THE "I" IN TRANS is a satirical look at the authority of the printed record, and 'tracks' daily oppressions faced by the community. THE LONGFORM LESBIAN CENSUS is a sweet and short meditation on the census information-gathering practice and the politics of being left out. TRANSFORMING FAMILY surveys contemporary experiences of kinship and family-making in trans roles, and outside normative narratives while HOLY MOTHER, MY MOTHER pulls from the tape library of family vacations to connect filmmaker Vivek Shraya's experience to her maternal lineage and link to the divine mother. FEELING RESERVED is an animated story of racism and 'twilight tours' by Saskatchewan's police force, while other official structures that transcribe, support, and engender systemic injustices are questioned in STEALTH. THE MISADVENTURES OF PUSSY BOY: FIRST LOVE is the first part of an animated diary-style narrative trilogy about growing up indigenous and intersex, and discovering clique divides and teen love on the reservation in the 1970s. Finally, TSANIZID (WAKE UP!) is an exploration of dissolving, interconnected forms in a saturated homage to two-spirit and trans becoming.

We’ll experience a mind-boggling expanded cinema performance from San-Francisco based filmmaker Kerry Laitala with live sound by Wobbly. "Kerry Laitala looks to the heavens for inspiration for her latest trichotomous tri-projector triumph, the Astro Trilogy. She unveils the cosmic patterns we've envisaged our mythologies into, simulates the spectacles with which we've dared to decorate Uranus's cloak, and summons the goddess of endless night to bring us into ecstatic realms with pulsations of luteal lubriciousness." "Astro Trilogy" will be preceded by several of Laitala's single channel works, "Hallowed," "Retrospectroscope," "Out of the Ether," "Orbit," "Conjurer's Box,"and "City Blight."

THE LAST ENIGMA / LA DERNIÈRE ENIGME (1982, 13 min, 16mm-to-DCP. In French with English subtitles.) "In between essay and fiction, THE LAST ENIGMA established Ossang's formal territory: a contemporary mythology. Inspired by the book 'On Terrorism and the State' by Gianfranco Sanguinetti, it evokes visual echoes of political events, where a generation forfeits all revolutionary aspirations due to state terrorism." -Nicole Brenez ZONA INQUINATA (1983, 22 min, 16mm-to-DCP. In French with English subtitles.) "La Zone: the poor, dangerous quarters of Paris (George Lacombe, 1928); the administrative zone where Orpheus looks for his lost Eurydice (Jean Cocteau, 1950); Interzone - the working title for William Burroughs's NAKED LUNCH (1959). In 1983, Ossang created a synthesis of all these territories of unrest under a banner of dead colors." -Nicole Brenez TRIPTYQUE DU PAYSAGE: SILENCE / SILENCIO (2006, 21 min, 35mm. Music by Throbbing Gristle. In French with English subtitles.) "[In] the era of Throbbing Gristle, poetry must measure itself against industrial disasters, invisible nuclear apocalypses, a travel report, an optical meditation, an overwhelming array of black and white tones, a love song, a progression of dim phantoms in the terrifying caverns of hope…strike!" -Nicole Brenez SKY'S BLACK OUT / CIEL ÉTIENT! (2008, 23 min, 35mm. In French with English subtitles.) "With the mythological everydayness of the young, destitute lovers Philémon and Baucis live in their cottage (made of reed in Ovid, made of wood in Ossang). At the end of the credits, we find the most beautiful visual declaration of love ever."-Nicole Brenez VLADIVOSTOK (2008, 5 min, 35mm. In French with English subtitles.) "'Between word and worlds, teeming with mysteries', wrote the psychedelic poet Claude Pélieu about Ossang. The fragmentary VLADIVOSTOK cultivates the wealth of such in-between places."-Nicole Brenez Total running time: ca. 90 min.

GIRL'S CHOICE: CHRISTIAN DIVINE'S "THE BLUE AGE OF VIDEO GAMES"
He’s back! Our homeboy who hit it big with the world’s first chart-topping video game played through a female protagonist! From Pong to Doom and beyond, the cultural expansion and global reach of games has ushered in a new era of diversity, story-telling and representation, along with cautionaries over their social impact. Games from around the world now explore issues of war, abuse, poverty, racism, sexism, even colonialism. Generations raised with computer games as an organic part of a media diet now accept and embrace them as a valid aesthetic force and all that implies. Christian Divine, writer for Life is Strange, the first video game to win a Peabody Award (along with a BAFTA), explores this strange new world with behind-the-scenes insights and interactive audience gameplay! Come early for a 25-min. opening set of choice clips from “classic” computer-geek teen flicks from the 80s. *$9

50S WEST GERMAN AVANT GARDE FILMS
Avant-garde is a word rarely used in discussions of 50s West German cinema, which at first seems absurd considering that so much of the young nation’s most interesting works of art would qualify as experimental and pioneering. That said, save for the painter-sculptor-inventor-“occasional chemist” Franz Schömbs (who actually built his own optical bench—called the Integrator—for Opuscula!), there were no other filmmakers who devoted their time and energies to the creation of works formally challenging and nothing but. This doesn’t mean directors weren’t experimenting like mad, just not as l’art pour l’art but, rather, in the context of other genres. For instance, Neue Kunst – Neues Sehen is a documentary about modern art that lends its formal strategies from the works and artist presented; Der Wundertisch starts as a popular educational documentary on editing that ends in a hand-painted abstract film (made for the main part in 1943!); the animated commercial Alles für alle perplexes and enchants through its jazzy mix of styles and tones, while Die Purpurlinie delights with its cheekily surreal imagination; Das magische Band, finally, made in praise of BASF-manufactured magnetic tape, is a playfully essayistic piece of meta-cinema on time and memory. Introduction by Jennifer Lynde Barker New Art – New Vision (Neue Kunst – neues Sehen) Directed by Ottomar Domnick. West Germany 1950, 35mm, b/w, 10 min. German with English subtitles Opuscula Directed by Franz Schömbs. West Germany 1946-52, 16mm, color, 5 min The Miracle Table (Der Wundertisch) Directed by Herbert Seggelke.

FROM ANGER TO UTAH
DEVIN UTAH IN PERSON! In this experimental trifecta, queer intimacy and instinct are portrayed by cinematic visionaries, past and present. Films made thirty years apart seem to speak to us, and to each other, in a similar visual language. Beginning in the fountains of Tivoli, Italy, Kenneth Anger's EAUX D'ARTIFICE sexualizes piss as queer fluid. Devin Utah dives into this experimental inspiration, framing found and original footage with a trans lens: SOAK uncovers a fever-dream of identity and desire, and explores questions of intuition and safety. Finally, in ritualistic celebration, Luther Price's SODOM consecrates a visceral fragmentation of the human form through penetration and collage. Kenneth Anger EAUX D'ARTIFICE (1953, 13 min, 16mm) Devin Utah SOAK (2018, 12 min, digital) Luther Price SODOM (1989, 21 min, Super-8mm-to-16mm. Print made with support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.) Total running time: ca. 50 min.
