CINé-CONCERT: FILMS OF PETER HUTTON 
Chris Brokaw and Matthew Nolan in performance Guitarists and composers Matthew Nolan and Chris Brokaw have crafted new musical scores for a selection of works by American filmmaker Peter Hutton (1944 – 2016), whose evocative short films of landscapes and cityscapes, often in black and white, were made without sound. Hutton likened his films to paintings and described the experience of viewing them as “a little like daydreaming.” The films — Florence, In Titan’s Goblet, Study of a River, New York Portrait, Chapter One, and more — move between their original soundless state and live accompaniment. “The fact that these films were deliberately created without a soundtrack is intriguing to those of us interested in sound and its role in narrative — and inspires questions worth exploring” — Chris Brokaw. (Total running time approximately 90 minutes) With special thanks to Culture Ireland for support of Matthew Nolan

Portland, Oregon: Fireworks 
7:30pm, N Albina & N Sumner, Albina Green
FIREWORKS: EXPERIMENTAL SCREEN/DANCE FILM FESTIVAL 
FIREWORKS is an experimental screen/dance program highlighting groundbreaking visual artists that work in both film and physical movement practices.  This inaugural voyage of FIREWORKS will focus on the theme "dance/ecology," centering works by women, gender nonconforming folks and people of color and their relationship to dance outside of the studio context.  These artists use screen/dance works to comment on their environment through real-time negotiations between human bodies and "public" or "natural" space.  This program recognizes a world where concepts of "public" and "nature"--just like the concepts of race, class, gender and dis/ability--are historically saturated and up for debate.  The works presented aim to provoke conversation and insight into these highly politicized, ever-changing relationships. Films by Zena Bibler; Sarai Black; Bernardo Chatillon; Jingqiu Guan; Margaret Rorison; Katie Burkart, Jackie Davis and Melinda Kowalska. Performances by Kelly Rauer, Mia Ferm and Felisha Ledesma.

ANIMAL CHARM VS. PAPER RAD

Influenced by the pirate ethos of Craig Baldwin, Bott and Fetterley’s collaborations originally grew out of live video mixing, and much of their work in the 90s and early 00s was mastered on all-but-disposable half-inch cassettes. Watching a piece by Animal Charm provides a masterclass in off-kilter editing, each an electro-storm of erratic rhythms, staticky transmissions, digital zooms, compulsive loops, and willful perversions of the Kuleshov effect. Yet at the same time their madness-methods reveal new ways to look at the end of the 20th century. A strange kind of poetry is found lurking within anonymously-produced shlock; the garish transition effects of yesteryear here play like found instances of Paikian image processing.

FUTURE LANGUAGE: THE DIMENSIONS OF VON LMO 
by Lori Felker. NYC PREMIERE! LORI FELKER AND VON LMO IN PERSON! FUTURE LANGUAGE is a distorted portrait of an artist that explores storytelling, ego, delusion, conviction, and memory. VON LMO is a musician/artist and self-proclaimed alien-hybrid who was a part of the late 1970s New York No Wave music scene. Between trips to his home planet of Strazar and multi-dimensional travel, VON has also spent some very real time in prison and on the streets of Earth. Confronted with the challenge of translating his Future Language for audiences across the galaxy, Lori, filmmaker and VON LMO fan, gets sucked into VON's orbit and finds herself lost in his story. "FUTURE LANGUAGE is the most ambitious film Felker has made to date…. The film is as much about Lori as an artist as it is about VON LMO as a musician, and about how they both interact with each other and with the camera, as filmmaker, as documentary subject, and as human beings." -Bryan Wendorf, CHICAGO UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL VON LMO will be performing live in Tompkins Square Park on Sunday, September 9; check anthologyfilmarchives.org in late July for more info.

★ 
by Johann Lurf. NYC PREMIERE! FILMMAKER IN PERSON! In his ambitious, magisterial found-footage film, ★, Johann Lurf gathers together imagery from literally hundreds of films throughout the history of cinema, extracting the sequences that depict the star-filled nighttime sky. Though it is in a sense a work of extreme minimalism, like so many minimalist works of art its simplicity actually functions as a portal to a great richness and an invitation to profound contemplation. ★ is as much a sonic collage as a visual one: the soundtrack is edited in sync with the imagery, and the brief, abruptly-interrupted music, sound effects, or snatches of dialogue conjure up an entire world of off-screen space and narrative traces. Visually speaking, the apparent minimalism is subverted by the astonishing range of methods filmmakers have used to depict the nighttime sky. Part of the poetry of ★ lies in its revelation that, with rare exceptions, sequences depicting the stars in the cinema have been the domain not of photography but of animation, artistic interpretation, and various kinds of special effects. ★ not only evokes the wonder of gazing at the heavens, but also reveals how its depiction in the cinema is almost necessarily a matter of imaginative reconstruction, opening a space even in the most literal-minded films for creative expression. If ★'s gaze is perpetually outward, away from the earth, it sheds as much light on matters political, social, cultural, and historical as celestial. The sequences Lurf has gathered together have a fascinating story to tell about the gradual shifting of mores, intellectual and artistic ideas, gender codes, and technological tools. Designed to be comprehensive and ever-expanding, ★ is more in the nature of a compendium than a completed artistic project. More importantly, it's a film of exhilarating thematic richness that's open to an almost unlimited range of interpretations. Appropriately for a film that focuses its attention on the heavens, ★ contains multitudes. Presented with generous support from the Austrian Cultural Forum New York; special thanks to Christine Moser & Arianna Fleur Kronreif.Johann Lurf will present a program of his earlier short films as part of our "Show & Tell" series on Sat, Sept 8 at 8:00; click here for more details.

SHOW & TELL: JOHANN LURF 
On the occasion of our NYC premiere screenings of his magisterial, conceptually rich feature-length film, ★ (screening from September 7-9; click here for more details), we're overjoyed to host Austrian artist and experimental filmmaker Johann Lurf for this comprehensive program of his earlier work. Educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he studied under Harun Farocki, Lurf makes both films and installations. Moving freely between found-footage works and films he shoots himself, Lurf displays a profound sensitivity to the layered histories and meanings that are manifest in particular places or structures, to the revelations that can emerge from preexisting imagery, and to the properties and potentialities of his chosen media (whether film or digital video). "In the hands of Johann Lurf cinema resembles a finely tuned instrument resonating at various frequencies: analog and digital, physically overwhelming and contemplative, shot with the artist's own camera and compiled from found footage. Irreducible to a single stylistic direction, Lurf's works defy simple classification and speak to the multitude of possibilities in both making and reflecting on cinema. What ties them together is a close examination of the world and its transformation into images, a formal earnestness stripped down to the bare essentials, and a pinch of mischief shining through." -Alejandro Bachmann, AUSTRIAN FILM MUSEUM Presented with generous support from the Austrian Cultural Forum New York; special thanks to Christine Moser & Arianna Fleur Kronreif.
