Brooklyn, NY United States: UnionDocs
 <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=1a6d2a13dc&e=f36020cad0> http://www.uniondocs.org
7:30 PM, 322 Union Ave
GREETINGS FROM FREE FORESTS
Drifting through the densely forested landscape of southern Slovenia—Greetings From Free Forests reveals a refuge of embedded historical memory. The film travels alongside the testimonies of local hunters, foresters, cavers, and foragers among others—orbiting around an absence left by radical struggle after it has come to fruition and since faded. During WWII, this forest served as a sanctuary for the Partisan Liberation Front, who were resisting the Fascist occupation of Yugoslavia. Remnants of this event can still be found throughout the forest in various states of decay, but also within images that sought to preserve the revolution’s emancipatory energy for future generations; images now stored in an underground film archive buried within the forest itself, depicting both the violence and the hope that came with radical change. Winner of DocLisboa’s Lisbon City Grand Prix, The Brooklyn Rail called it, “the competition’s most interesting film—and maybe its most unclassifiable…[it] moves discursively rather than didactically; offering a mixture of perspectives on the landscape’s past and present, rather than the single, authoritative essay voice that is common in similar films” We’re delighted to host Ian Soroka, former UNDO staff member, back home for the screening of his debut feature. He’ll be in attendance for conversation following the film.

FOUR PARTS OF A FOLDING SCREEN 
Four Parts of a Folding Screen by Anthea Kennedy & Ian Wiblin, 2018, 83 min. Shot in Berlin, this film explores the space between documentary and fiction. Its images combine to construct a contemporary surface of the city. The film’s subject concerns Germany’s past – of National Socialism. Under the oppression of this regime, a woman’s husband is forced to leave. The house must be sold and possessions put into storage. So begins a process orchestrated by the state to deprive the woman of her citizenship and to guarantee the legalised acquisition of her family’s belongings. These malignant acts of bureaucracy raise money for the Nazis and fund their war. The camera maps the addresses of the auction’s successful bidders. This organised theft creates a diaspora of household objects, scattered for the most part – the camera discovers – amongst buildings that no longer exist. An elderly woman asks the film-makers: “Are you working for Google Earth?”, and tells of seeing the whole of Frankfurter Allee destroyed in a single night by aerial bombing – such poignant juxtapositions of past and present spark throughout the film. Still-life studies of household objects break the flow of inevitable petty events. Blown-up sections of old family photographs bear perhaps the merest traces of personal things auctioned and lost. But the film is not a quest – that these objects might be found is never inferred. Instead, the film is a recounting or retelling of a brutalising process. The occasional glimpses of archive documents matter-of-factly underscore the mundane nature of day-to-day office work, whilst signalling its cruel consequences. Such imagery also adds to the film’s varied visual texture – a texture clashed and punctuated by voice, sound and musical fragments. As the camera probes the secrets of ordinary spaces, streets and buildings around the city of Berlin, semblances of a person and a history begin to emerge and coalesce.. A SPOON Peter Todd, 2019, 2'30 min, Silent. Commissioned by Margaret Tait 100. "Images gathered into a film. Images from earlier works and some new. I have always found spoons amazing things. Often beautiful, and ever useful. So I have made a film for them. Thank you spoons." Peter Todd. Martin Brady will be in conversation with the filmmakers following the screening.

7:00 pm, UCLA Film & Television Archive Billy Wilder Theatre, Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd
REMINISCENCES OF A JOURNEY: A TRIBUTE TO JONAS MEKAS
In person guests include: David E. James, Oona Mekas The importance of Jonas Mekas to the world of American independent and experimental film cannot be overestimated. Reaching the United States after World War II with his brother Adolfas, Mekas would, over the next seventy years, become a critical figure in exhibiting, distributing, and reviewing experimental films, organizing the New York scene, and by extension, establishing the society in which avant-garde film culture is created and appreciated to this day. His death earlier this year at age 96, shortly after completing two books for publication, marked the end of a generation, especially as it was so shortly followed by the deaths of Barbara Hammer and Carolee Schneemann. Over the course of decades, while also being co-founder of the distributor Film-makers Coop, founder of Anthology Film Archive, film reviewer for the Village Voice, editor of Film Culture, poet, filmmaker, and more, Mekas made a larger number of films, mostly in a diary vein. Overall he called his films “Diaries, Notes and Sketches”. Tonight’s tribute includes three examples, “Williamsburg, Brooklyn,” a more recent video piece that also includes some of his earliest footage from the 1950s; part one of “Walden” which also includes the short film “Notes on the Circus” and “Cassis”, and his feature film Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania, along with comments from his daughter Oona Mekas, scholar David E. James and more. Tickets: $10 advance, $9 general in-person, $8 students with ID, seniors free for Filmforum members & UCLA Students with ID. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at https://emarket.cinema.ucla.edu/ShoppingCenter/Details.aspx?ref=1167 or at the door.

DUO B. VS. VIDEO SAVANT + TWO FILMS BY DOMINIC ANGERAME
Tickets: $10 General, $6 C4NM and Cinematheque Members Buy Tickets Online or At Door duo B. vs. vIDEO sAVant (live sound/image performance) + two films by Dominic Angerame Presented in association with the San Francisco Cinematheque The Center for New Music collaborates with Cinematheque to present the finale performance by our 2019 Ensemble in Residence, duo B. vs. vIDEO sAVant. The trio, an improvising intermedia ensemble of drums (Jason Levis), bass (Lisa Mezzacappa) and live video (Charles Woodman), presents a new video/music performance developed this in residence this year. duo B. vs. vIDEO sAVant creates live performances of sound and image that seek the revelatory moments where the distinction between music and video, sound and image melt away and a new whole emerges from the flow between individuals and media. The group formed when Mezzacappa and Woodman met as residents at Headlands Center for the Arts, and since then, the ensemble has performed in the Bay Area and beyond, and has been presented by Cinemateque, the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Shapeshifters Cinema in Oakland, and the Oakland Winter Live Festival. This year, duo B. vs. vIDEO sAVant has been Ensemble-in-Residence at the Center for New Music, and this evening’s performance is a culmination of the group’s creative work and research as part of that program. The program begins with a screening of works by filmmaker Dominic Angerame. The ongoing transformations of San Francisco’s skyline and cityscape are the grand subject of Angerame’s epic film series The City Symphony (begun 1987). Masterfully filmed in 16mm—and in striking, high contrast black & white—the films that make up The City Symphony demonstrate masterful in-camera editing and virtuosic super-impositions while embodying the paradoxes of solidity and ephemerality of the city in flux. The first half of this evening’s screening/concert features Revelations, the latest in Angerame’s ongoing series. Featuring a haunting soundtrack by Angerame’s long term collaborator Kevin Barnard, Revelations documents transformations in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood and Embarcadero, including the construction of the stadium currently known as Oracle Park. The filmmaker’s 1980 film Freedom’s Skyway, an early celebration of the city’s skyline featuring Chinatown pyrotechnics, opens the show.

MEMORIES OF THE UNKNOWABLE: FILMS BY SYLVIA SCHEDELBAUER
Sylvia Schedelbauer's films transform fragmentary found footage into hallucinatory landscapes merging large historical action and evocative solitary gesture. Subtly using rhythmic montage and overlays of sound, Schedelbauer creates unsettling experiences in which the seemingly familiar becomes an ominous reflection of the present. Compelling, resonant and sensually rich, these films brilliantly revitalize a classic experimental film tradition. Sylvia Schedelbauer was born in Tokyo and lives in Germany. Her complicated bi-cultural family history has and continues to be the driving force behind her artistic vision. Schedelbauer's films have shown at dozens of film festivals throughout the world. The evening's program includes: False Friends (2007, 5 min.) Remote Intimacy (2007, 15 min.) way fare (2009, 7 min.), Sounding Glass (2011, 10 min.)

EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT FILM PROJECTION*
*But Were Afraid to Ask Projection Instructions, Morgan Fisher, 1976, 16mm, 4 mins; “We notice the projectionist, as we notice projection itself, only when there is a technical problem.... ” - Morgan Fisher This evening at Light Industry, following a presentation of Fisher’s piece, Spencer Christiano will provide an overview of the work that goes into film projection, a practice which is essential to the exhibition of motion pictures yet, as Fisher notes, largely invisible. His talk coincides with the release of The Art of Film Projection: A Beginner’s Guide, a handsome volume published by the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, where Christiano serves as Chief Projectionist. The book surveys the role’s myriad dimensions, including chapters on the film print (perforations, projection speed, aspect ratio, reel length), the projector (the projector mechanism, the picture head, the sound reader, the projector’s motor), screening environments (the booth, the screen, speakers), film inspection (the rewind bench, splices, shrinkage), pre-show preparations (threading the projector, mounting the reels, framing), final touches (gate tension, focus, masking), and of course the show itself, as well as information on the maintenance of the apparatus. There’s even a section dedicated to screening that most beautiful, rare, and—because of its extreme flammability—dangerous of film stocks: nitrate.

THE FILMS OF HOLLY FISHER, PGM 1: GHOSTDANCE FOR A NEW CENTURY + BULLETS FOR BREAKFAST
GHOSTDANCE FOR A NEW CENTURY (1980-2015, 16 min, digital. Music performed live by Ha-Yang Kim.)This project is a re-imagining of my silent 16mm GHOST DANCE (1980), sourced from 8mm for dual projection - re-visited as a single multi-layered, digital canvas rich in shifting desert colors. Inspired by 1880s Native American dances for survival, this new ghostdance realized via over-lapping picture timelines is a landscape meditation in time - poised between a eulogy for an unspoken past and a plea for attention to an unmapped future. The music score is by composer/cellist Ha-Yang Kim, who will be here in person to perform the score live! & BULLETS FOR BREAKFAST (1992, 77 min, 16mm) "Images from MY DARLING CLEMENTINE form the basis for thought-provoking interpretation in BULLETS FOR BREAKFAST. Combining stunning optical printing with a dense weaving of poetry, storytelling, and visual narrative, Fisher's film explores the violent underside of another frontier - gender relations. Juxtaposing a pulp-western writer with a feminist poet, or women working at a herring smokehouse with those depicted in paintings by European Masters, Fisher reorders stories and images like musical motifs. A captivating hybrid of experimental and documentary technique, BULLETS FOR BREAKFAST mines the depths of subjectivity, blurring the lines between myth and reality, fact and fiction." -Jon Stout, co-founder, Free Speech TV, former Director, Los Angeles Filmforum "Fisher's quiet, subtle feminism convinces through suggestion rather than finger-pointing; an added delight is that her double-exposed images, reminiscent of early Rauschenberg, are quite beautiful." -Peter Brunette, CHICAGO READER Total running time: ca. 95 min.

EVERYWHERE AT ONCE: FILMS BY SYLVIA SCHEDELBAUER
*FILMMAKER SYLVIA SCHEDELBAUER APPEARING IN PERSON* In the films of Sylvia Schedelbauer, personal internal reverie and expansive cultural history collide. Assembled largely from deeply researched archival footage and radically edited (in an elegantly flickering style entirely her own), Schedelbauer’s films present a strikingly visual space of interiority in which dreams, personal biography, collective memories and family histories fuse to form a complicated vision of fragmented transnational identity in the context of 20th Century history. Visiting from Berlin, Schedelbauer appears in person to present a retrospective of recent films 2007–2018 including: REMOTE INTIMACY; SOUNDING GLASS; SEA OF VAPORS; WISHING WELL and more.

THE FILMS OF HOLLY FISHER, PGM 2: SHORTS PGM
APPLE SUMMER (1974, 24 min, 16mm) Downeast Maine camping with friends evolved into a spurt-framed portrait of artist/teacher Donn Moulton. The rough-edged, cross-cut, free-wheeling form reflects ways my early and highly intuitive notions of art-making differed radically from Moulton's, even while I learned to think with my hands. THIS IS MONTAGE (1978, 7.5 min, 16mm, silent) Inspired by a passage from Sergei Eisenstein's 'Film Form,' this film explores relationships between film and language while playfully challenging the Russian filmmaker's theory of film montage…and so lies between a wink and a nod to the master. Also a bit of tongue-in-cheek: had I been a good typist I may never have become a filmmaker. GHOST DANCE (1980, 30 min, 16mm double projection, silent) This film takes the viewer on a spiraling descent into Arizona's Canyon de Chelly. A systemic looping technique via JK Optical Printer creates images that are stretched, recycled, and interwoven, altering one's perceptions of time and space in relation to the immediate "present." t h i n k t a n k (2014, 13 min, digital) A tapestry in motion in which 24 layers of iPhone video of swimming goldfish are laced with ambiguous floating text, transforming over time from a playful meditation on language into a haunting look into the ethos of the U.S. government surveillance dragnet. The music is by avant-garde composer Lois V Vierk. Total running time: ca. 80 min.

ENGAUGE EXPERIMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL PROGRAM 3: CELLULOID DREAMS: THE CINEMA OF JANICE FINDLEY
Beloved local filmmaker Janice Findley shows her work and reflects on her oeuvre, while preparing to step behind the camera again to produce a new body of work. ** All films photographed, edited, released, and projected on 16mm! Introduction by Todd Rendleman, Director of Film Studies and Professor of Communication at Seattle Pacific University ** Janice Findley’s fiercely original films explore enchanted, uncharted territory with a wildly imaginative sensibility. Utilizing meticulous stop-motion and live-action techniques, brilliant set and costume design with beguiling musical scores by musician/composer Paul Hansen, Findley creates a subterranean world of emotions that evoke waking dreams. Menacing, inviting and funny, these adventures of the mind dare the viewer to enter into the realm of dreams. Findley’s films have been showcased in a retrospective at MoMA in New York, where her work is part of the permanent collection, and have toured the hinterlands of the U.S. with a widely traveled bicycling projectionist. This remarkable compilation includes Beyond Kabuki, A Nermish Gothic, Tripletime, Faux Paw and I Am the Night.

THE FILMS OF HOLLY FISHER, PGM 3: PROGRESS, PORK-BARREL, AND PHEASANT FEATHERS + WATERMEN
Holly Fisher & Romas V. Slezas PROGRESS, PORK-BARREL, AND PHEASANT FEATHERS (1966, 27 min, 16mm-to-digital) Framed within the controversy over construction of the Florida Cross State Barge Canal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this film is an intimate case study of pork barrel politics. The Canal was to slash across upper Florida, and so reduce the cost of shipping Texas oil. A last remaining wild river was to be its water feed-source. As a vérité depiction of a grass roots attempt to save the river, the film mirrors the battles raging globally between fossil fuel interests, global warming, you name it. Holly Fisher & Romas V. Slezas WATERMEN (1968, 63 min, 16mm-to-digital) In 1968 co-director Romas V. Slezas and I filmed the annual Skipjack Race off the coast of Annapolis, Maryland, focused especially on local folk hero skipjack Captain "Daddy Art" Daniels, who won that day. Over the next three years we filmed Daniels, his family, his African-American crew, and his colleagues catching oysters, at home, singing and preaching in church, attending a high school graduation, and more. The film tells a simple story of the watermen who work the last sailing fleet of workboats in North America and it is perhaps also the story of Manifest Destiny as it is playing out in an isolated pocket of American culture. Total running time: ca. 95 min.

SISPIX 1: INSCRIPTIONS 
Nov.9: LYNNE SACHS + BARBARA HAMMER + SU FRIEDRICH + Barbara Hammer (RIP) passed the batons, and tonight Lynne Sachs is back in the Bay to twirl them! Marching through on a national tour for her newly published Year by Year Poems, Lynne debuts three Hammer collabs, screens substantial sections from her own last two features, and revives an evergreen of women’s cinema. As Hammer lay dying, she bequeathed a trio of unfinished films to Deborah Stratman (Vever), Mark Street (So Many Ideas Impossible to Do All), and Lynne herself (A Month of Single Frames)...and after considerable time and effort, and with Wexner Center help, all those projects have come to fruition! Anointed to carry on Hammer ‘s local legacy (both SFSU grads!), Lynne converses about the creative process from the quotidian, to writing, to filming. That’s how we get to see Friedrich’s historic hand-scratched Gently Down the Stream, as well as a generous portion of Sachs’ latest Tip of my Tongue, and a sizable sneak peek at her in-progress A Film about a Father Who. Benefit for the Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant! *$8-20

THE FILMS OF HOLLY FISHER, PGM 5: SECUESTRO: A STORY OF A KIDNAPPING
Camila Motta SECUESTRO: A STORY OF A KIDNAPPING (1993, 93 min, 16mm. Edited by Holly Fisher.) In Colombia, a kidnapping occurs every seven hours; in 1985, 20-year-old Sylvia Motta was abducted by ten armed men. In SECUESTRO, Camila Motta, the victim's sister, recreates the harrowing three months during which Sylvia was chained to a bed while her father negotiated for her life. Motta builds a riveting story around remarkably candid interviews, including one with Juan, a construction worker moonlighting as one of Sylvia's guards, and through actual recordings of the negotiation, which begin with a $450,000 price tag. Motta uses Sylvia's voice, sometimes overlapping with other interviews, to create a vivid portrait of the psychological torment of her captivity. Footage of daily life in Colombia makes palpable the underlying extremes of wealth and poverty that have given rise to a turn of events in which the bizarre has become commonplace.

THE FILMS OF HOLLY FISHER, PGM 6: DEAFENING SILENCE
2012, 120 min, digitalShare +Twitter. "DEAFENING SILENCE is a fusion of beauty and terror, observation and anger, roving visuals and intimate stories that are funny, contemplative, or horrific - a subjective, layered depiction of Burma under brutal military dictatorship. My first trip was legal, shooting video as a fake tour guide doing research. The next was on foot, under-cover with ethnic Karen guerrillas, to film internal exiles surviving in a free-fire jungle war zone. Colonial archival imagery and clips from YouTube are woven within this tapestry of fragments, often in ironic counterpoint, and always to pierce the chokehold of censorship. This is a living history of a country arrested in time, a hybrid documentary focusing on ethnic genocide but with constant poetic resonance and a rich multiplicity of references to history and popular culture." -Hank Heifetz & Holly Fisher

SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS LYNNE SACHS
PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW LOCATION: 567 5th St. OAKLAND. How do we negotiate the photographing of images that contain the body? What experiential, political or aesthetic contingencies do we bring to both the making and viewing of a cinema that contains the human form? If a body is different from our own – in terms of gender, skin color, or age – do we frame it differently? How does looking at a body on screen make us feel? New York filmmaker Lynne Sachs will guide her audience through her own evolution as a filmmaker by sharing excerpts from her own films in "My Body, Your Body, Our Bodies: Somatic Cinema at Home and in the World" an expanded cinema screening and talk. Sachs will explore the fraught and bewildering challenge of looking at the human form from behind the lens. Inspired by the performance self-portrait films of Vito Acconci, the audience will also be included in the making of a live, impromptu production. Excerpts from these films by Lynne Sachs will be included: “Drawn and Quartered” (4 min. 1986); “Still Life with Woman and Four Objects” (4 min. 1986); "Sermons and Sacred Pictures" (29 min. 1989); “The House of Science: a museum of false facts" (30min. 1991); "A Biography of Lilith" (35 min. 1997); “Window Work” (9 min. 2000); “Wind in Our Hair” (40min. 2010); “Same Stream Twice” (4min. 2012); “Your Day is My Night” (64min. 2013); “And Then We Marched” (4 min. 2017); "Carolee, Barbara & Gunvor" (8 min. 2018); “A Year of Notes and Numbers” (4 min. 2018); "The Washing Society" (44 min. 2018).
