*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.

styles. The festival’s tenth edition—shifting to mid-summer and extended to

iteration of the festival alongside over a dozen additional programs,

filmmakers appearing either in person or via live video. A selection of
films will also be available for online viewing after their on-site

features the New York premieres of Claire Simon’s The Grocer’s Son, the
Mayor, the Village, and the World…, and Yaara Sumeruk’s short film If We
Say That We Are Friends, with Simon joining virtually and Sumeruk attending
in person. Closing Night, on August 1, features the New York premiere of
Dash Shaw and Jane Samborski’s sui generis animated adventure Cryptozoo,
which debuted at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, with Shaw in attendance.

*RAZOR BLADES, Paul Sharits*
(Brand new restoration!)
Produced in association with the American Film Institute. Newly restored by
Anthology Film Archives. Special thanks to Colorlab and Audio Mechanics.
Anthology Film Archives marks its long-awaited post-pandemic reopening with
a program that could only take place “in real life,” projected theatrically
and on film: our brand-new restoration of Paul Sharits’s rarely screened
early masterpiece, RAZOR BLADES (1965-68).

The latest in our ongoing series of restorations of Sharits’s films, RAZOR
BLADES is a typically mind-bending, consciousness-expanding experiment in
perception and a classic among “expanded cinema” works. By means of color
combinations, the strobe-like flickering of the dueling projectors, a
high-volume stereo soundscape, and single-frame imagery, it demonstrates
the cinema’s capacity for exploring the mysterious interaction between
light, color, rhythm, eye, and mind. The double projection piece never
exhibits precisely the same way, rendering every screening a unique
experience. “A mandala opens to the other side of consciousness/since the
film ends as it begins and because its inner fabric is made up of (14
different) loops, an infinite loop is suggested/the varied length loops are
constructed so that viewers may chart variations in their consciousness of
speed, rhythm and image recognition/projected side by side so that both
images are regarded as one large image, subjective variability is
geometrically increased and ‘repetition’ is transcended.” –Paul Sharits
“[A] twin-screen ‘flicker’ film that boggles mind and eye. [...] Sharits
assaults the eye with contradictory, Strobe-lit patterns, images, designs
and colors that, projected on two adjacent screens, fluctuate in intensity
with the rhythms of the light flashes. Compared to Tony Conrad’s THE
FLICKER and Michael Snow’s WAVELENGTH, RAZOR BLADES is a kind of BEN-HUR of
structural films, employing not only abstract designs but also little,
almost Vanderbeekian cutouts of identifiable things (a strawberry sundae, a
penis) and people (a man apparently cutting his wrist). The effect is
extraordinarily unsettling as the mind tries desperately to make
intelligent connections between recognizable images, while at the same time
it automatically falls into the pace of the light explosions.” –Vincent
Canby, NEW YORK TIMES

Preceded by: Paul Sharits RAY GUN VIRUS 1966, 14 min, 16mm. Preserved by
Anthology Film Archives. “Although affirming projector, projection beam,
screen, emulsion, film frame structure, etc., this is not an ‘abstract
film’/projector as pistol/time-colored pills/yes=no/mental suicide and
then, rebirth as self-projection/dedicated to Regina Cornwell.” –Paul
Sharits “With films like RGV, LSD may become obsolete.” –MUSEUM OF MODERN
ART
