*THE SALESFORCE TOWER MIDNIGHT ARTIST COLLABORATION: THE ROOF GARDEN BY
SARAH KLEIN*
July’s Monthly Collaboration is with Sarah Klein who created a video titled
“The Roof Garden”. The artwork “uses the venerable storytelling form of
hand shadows, and features silhouettes of hands holding assorted flowers
and plant cuttings. In the sequence of images, the silhouettes morph into
kaleidoscopic patterns, turning the tower into one huge flower.” Her work
will be on the Salesforce Tower every night in July from Midnight – 1am.

*A Film Is Not a Building*
Film screening and book viewing: July 17–25, 2021 Conversation: July 25,
2021 at 10am PDT / 7pm (19:00) CEST online “A Film is Not a Building”
surveys three films on four buildings, each one a modernist house. The
subjects are: Irving Gill’s 1916 Dodge House, in Los Angeles; the 1929
Warsaw residence designed by Bohdan Lachert and Józef Szanajca; and the
Migishi Atelier and the Bunzo Yamaguchi House, in Tokyo, designed by Iwao
Yamawaki and Bunzo Yamaguchi, respectively, in the 1930s and ‘40s. The
filmmakers are: writer, Esther McCoy; artist, Susanne Bürner; and architect
and professor at the Bauhaus-Universität, Weimar, Verena von Beckerath, in
collaboration with colleagues Niklas Fanelsa, Momoko Yasaka, Maximilian von
Zepelin, and Jens Franke—themselves artists, architects, designers, and
filmmakers. The program looks at the way these building films are used to
understand, record, and transmit an experience of architectural space.

*World Listening Day*
Tune in to the 2021 edition of World Listening Day´s 24h 24h livestream
this Sunday, July 18th World Listening Day – a 24 hour broadcast is a
community reflection and celebration of sound, creativity and listening on
July 18, a date chosen to honor one of the early leaders in acoustic
ecology, music and sound studies, Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer.
Among the self-organized and initiated personal celebrations, and local
live and public events taking place around the world, the World Listening
Project has curated a 24-hour online audio and video broadcast from
contributions received in response to its open call, reflecting this year’s
theme, “The Unquiet Earth.” ABOUT WORLD LISTENING DAY 2021: Each year a
theme is created by someone with a deep connection to the act of listening.
Lisbon-based filmmaker, curator and researcher, Raquel Castro, created the
theme for 2021. “The Unquiet Earth” is an invitation to reflect on and
engage with the constant murmur of the Earth, sounds beyond the threshold
of human hearing, to remind ourselves that we share this mysterious and
awesome planet. Castro shares that, “Small, hidden, subterranean, aerial,
underwater, infra and ultrasonic sounds, inaudible to the naked ear, can
bring a new, potentially hopeful, perspective on the future of the planet
and humanity. Listening as activism encourages us to question our attitudes
as listeners as we aim to construct a more inclusive and empathetic new
world. Join the unquiet revolution!”

Films Screening July 22-25, 2021 Live Discussion with Filmmakers and
Programmers on July 22, 1 pm PDT, 4 pm EDT
https://www.lafilmforum.org/schedule/summer-2021/comfort-behavior/ A
sunburn across the bridge of your nose. A warm belly on a cold rock. Do you
remember what it was like to run so fast that you can hear your heart
beating in your head? An examination of texture, the internal, and the
floating bits on the tops of your eyes. These films showcase the idea of
play, pain, and the memory of an outside world materially experienced, not
unlike dairy cows experiencing grass for the first time in a year. Sunning
is considered a comfort behavior in many animals. A tactile experience of
facing the sun to warm oneself raises body temperature and reduces heart
rate. After a prolonged period of languid gestures, we need to bask to
remember. This program showcases films that warm up our bodies, hearts, and
minds slowly re-acclimatizing to the world from outside. Using light,
animation, and emotional memories, these filmmakers explore the tangible
possibilities of a world best experienced through touch. This program
presents the work of filmmakers and artists Anouk De Clercq and Tom
Callemin, Elena Duque, Anu-Laura Tuttelberg, Timoteo Guillem, Josh Cloud,
and Nazlı Dinçel. Programmed by Jordan Wong & Sam Gurry. Ticketing for
Comfort Behavior: Sliding Scale, requested $12 for general admission, $8
students/seniors, $0 for Filmforum members, at

*EPHRAIM ASILI'S THE INHERITANCE*
Pennsylvania-born filmmaker Ephraim Asili has been exploring different
facets of the African diaspora—and his own place within it—for nearly a
decade. His feature-length debut, The Inheritance, is a vibrant, engaging
ensemble work that takes place almost entirely within the walls of a West
Philadelphia house where a community of young people have come together to
form a collective of Black artists and activists. Based partly on Asili’s
own experiences in a Black liberationist group, the film interweaves a
scripted drama of characters attempting to work towards political consensus
with a documentary recollection of the Philadelphia liberation group MOVE,
which was the victim of a notorious police bombing in 1985. Asili’s film is
an endlessly generative work of politics, humor, and philosophy,
referencing the legacies of the Black Arts Movement and featuring Black
authors and radicals, members of MOVE, as well as poets Ursula Rucker and
Sonia Sanchez. An NYFF58 selection. A Grasshopper Film release. Note: Films
are available in the U.S. and U.S. territories only. Users may have up to
two registered devices. Learn more in our FAQ.
