*Fabric of Photography: Material Matters*
Twelve experimental photographic artists exhibit their work in Oxford as
part of Photo Oxford Festival opening in the Main Gallery, The Old Fire
Station, central Oxford, from the 15th of October until 13th of November.
Each artist focuses on materiality within their practice. They are inspired
by historical processes invented in the 19th Century, and work with the
fundamental elements of the photographic medium: Light, Time and Material.
The exhibition brings together artists from Australia, France, Holland,
Poland, Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The artists
explore the materiality of the photograph through experimentation.

*LESLIE THORNTON: BEGIN AGAIN, AGAIN*
Thornton’s List Center exhibition marks the artist’s first US solo museum
exhibition and most comprehensive presentation to date. The exhibition will
premiere a new video work, *Hemlock *(2021), as well as a new installation
of Thornton’s influential cycle *Peggy and Fred in Hell* (1983–2015).
In a career spanning nearly five decades, Leslie Thornton has produced an
influential body of work in film and video. Her early encounters with
experimental, structuralist, and cinéma vérité traditions as a student in
the 1970s fueled her iconoclastic take on the moving image and gave shape
to her practice of weaving together her own footage and voice with archival
film and audio. In part through her forceful and dynamic use of sound,
Thornton exposes the limits of language and vision in her works, while
acknowledging the ways that language and vision nevertheless remain central
to scientific discourse and narrative in general. Engaging these themes
within a focused survey, Thornton’s List Center exhibition will mark the
artist’s first US solo museum exhibition and most comprehensive
presentation to date.
The relationship between technology, power, and violence is an enduring
concern for Thornton. In early works, such as *X-TRACTS* (1975), *All Right
You Guys* (1976) and *Jennifer, Where Are You?* (1981), Thornton contends
with the basic conditions of representation in film and how the camera
itself wields power. In *Let Me Count the Ways* (2004–ongoing) and *Cut
>From Liquid to Snake* (2018), Thornton takes up the United States’ history
of nuclear warfare—a subject fraught with personal resonance for her, as
both her father and grandfather were involved in the Manhattan Project, the
top-secret effort that produced the atomic bombs that the U.S. dropped on
Japan in the final days of World War II. A touchstone of experimental
film, *Peggy
and Fred in Hell *is a multi-chapter work that surfaces the Cold War-era
anxieties that shaped Thornton’s formative years and plumbs the
psychological impact of technology in postwar America. Thornton’s recent
film *Ground* (2020) embeds the voice of a physicist discussing particle
decay within elegant yet foreboding technological landscapes. The
exhibition’s title, *Begin Again, Again*—borrowed from a line in *Peggy and
Fred in Hell*—alludes to human-made cycles of destruction and renewal as
well the hallmarks of Thornton’s practice: an accumulation and repetition
of images and language and a radically open-ended approach to observing,
processing, and understanding.
Thornton’s exhibition is organized by Natalie Bell, Curator, MIT List
Visual Arts Center. In conjunction with the exhibition, the List Center is
co-publishing the artist’s first monograph with Sternberg Press.

MoMA, 11 West 53 Street
*Mark McElhatten— “To The Lighthouse” Screening Series*
MoMA is honored to present a screening series selected by renowned curator
and film programmer Mark McElhatten. “I like to present programs that are
more than the sum of their parts,” he says, “an experience that can’t be
summarized made up of films that can’t be told.” A founding curator of the
New York Film Festival’s Views from the Avant-Garde, and Martin Scorsese’s
film archivist for 22 years, McElhatten has been curating film and video
programs at major museums and festivals around the world since 1976.
“Cinema exists before and after film as a modality of human consciousness,”
says McElhatten. “I’ve always resisted informational or thematic programs
as I work with intuition and with each film to compose an experience. The
films presented in this series touch on many ideas and issues: the human
subconscious, the daily, the sublime, race, colonialism, mortality, desire,
difference, and division. They are songs of experience holding surprises,
revealing their essence and versatility in context, not limited to carrying
a particular weight of explanation. Unexplained but not inexplicable. Films
that honor the viewer by acknowledging your freedom and intelligence.”
Highlights of the series will include world premieres of work by Nathaniel
Dorsky, David Gatten and Ashley West, Ernie Gehr, Vincent Grenier, Eve
Heller, Ken and Nisi Jacobs, Dani (Leventhal) ReStack and Sheliah (Wilson)
ReStack, and Leslie Thornton; US premieres from Michael Robinson; rare
screenings of films by Joseph Cornell and Jacques Rivette; and films by
Bruce Conner, Claire Denis, Mark LaPore, Buster Keaton, Gregory
Markopoulos, Talena Sanders, Phil Solomon, John Reinhardt, and more.
Organized by Mark McElhatten, guest curator; with Ron Magliozzi, Curator,
Brittany Shaw, Curatorial Assistant, and Olivia Priedite, Senior Program
Assistant, Department of Film.

*CANNING'S MOTHERLOAD*
Long-time ATA staffer *Liz Canning* is back in person with an award-wining
feature doc! Always an avid cyclist, Liz had to search far and wide to
discover the best transportation solution.,.once she had twins!! She
stumbled upon a global movement to replace cars with long-frame bicycles
designed to carry heavy loads, and joyfully threw herself into the world
of cargo-bike inventors, advocates, and of course riders. The ultimate
social revolutionizer, the sturdy and eco-conscious family vehicle connects
with the earlier Suffragette cyclists, and women's seemingly endless fight
for bodily autonomy. $8

7pm ET, Simon Silk Mill, 1247 Simon Blvd Suite N101
*O'er the Land by Deborah Stratman*
*O’er the Land* is a meditation on the milieu of elevated threat addressing
national identity, gun culture, wilderness, consumption, patriotism, and
the possibility of personal transcendence. Of particular interest are the
ways Americans have come to understand freedom and the increasingly
technological reiterations of manifest destiny. While channeling our
national psyche, the film is interrupted by the story of Lt. Col. William
Rankin who in 1959, was forced to eject from his F8U fighter jet at 48,000
feet without a pressure suit, only to get trapped for 45 minutes in the up
and down drafts of a massive thunderstorm. Remarkably, he survived.
This film is concerned with the sudden, simple, thorough ways that events
can separate us from the system of things, and place us in a kind of limbo.
Like when we fall. Or cross a border. Or get shot. Or saved. The film
forces together culturally acceptable icons of heroic national tradition
with the suggestion of unacceptable historical consequences, so that
seemingly benign locations become zones of moral angst.

*Underground Movies, program 2: Spaces of Extraction*
followed by a live Q&A with curators Jenny Perlin and Leo Goldsmith and
filmmakers.
Please note that the show time starts at 4 pm, and the films will play one
time only. They will not be available after the screening.
Caves, sewers, subways, mines, bunkers, crypts—the planet’s real and mythic
subterranean spaces have served a capacious array of functions, as sources
of fossil fuels and imaginative speculation alike. This series of programs
explores how moving-image artists have tackled these hidden worlds—through
documentary observation into their murky depths, performative bodily
engagement, abstraction, archival montage, and computer graphics. Drawing
together films from a historically and geographically diverse field—from
early cinema to contemporary artists’ moving image; from the Americas,
Asia, and Europe— “Underground Movies” charts a unique aesthetic terrain
through which to explore larger questions of human’s material and
psychological relation to the planet’s substructure—as a space to be
reshaped and exploited, but also as one in which to imagine ourselves anew.
*Mineral deposits secreted in the Earth’s structural layers become the
object of a vast exploratory project, an act of violence against the

*ESCAPE INTO LANDSCAPE*
This final program is dedicated to landscape. The films are neither
documentaries nor scientific films; they speak of nature in different ways,
using experimental techniques to renew an explorer's gaze at our planet.
>From rigorous works on landscapes and their light, all the way to examining
the topography of a face, taking historical, technological, fictional, and
often bewitching approaches.

*"Where is Your Rupture?" lecture by Abigail Child*
Please join us for the 11th Annual Experimental Lecture “Where is Your
Rupture?” given by Abigail Child on Friday, Nov. 19 at 7 PM via Zoom. It's
free and open to the public from anywhere in the world. All are welcome!
Since 2008, the Experimental Lecture Series has presented veteran
filmmakers who immerse themselves in the world of alternative, experimental
film. Our intention is to lay bare an artist’s challenges rather than their
successes, to examine the gnawing, ecstatic reality of the work of making
art. Our previous speakers for the Experimental Lecture Series have been
Peggy Ahwesh, Craig Baldwin, Bradley Eros, Ernie Gehr, Barbara Hammer, Ken
Jacobs, Jonas Mekas, Carolee Schneemann, M.M. Serra, and Nick Dorsky. -
Programmed by Lynne Sachs with Dan Streible.
Abigail Child: “Where is Your Rupture?” “The title of this lecture takes
off from Andy Warhol’s Where Is Your Rupture, an early 60s painting which
cuts off both a diagrammatic torso and the text beneath it. The result is
at once detached and personal, a fragment with both text and body broken,
incomplete."

*MORRISON + MINAX + GHOSTS*
This celebration of film artifacts—both in collections and “found”--focuses
on some half-dozen revered re-mix artistes and a quartet of
crucial archives. OC's beloved ally Bill (*Dawson City*) Morrison floats in
his sublime raft of cursed-sea-cruise newsreels that serve as sidebar to *The
Village Detective*, his tale of sunken cinema treasure now out in theaters
nationally! Editor extraordinaire Scott Calonico dares to deconstruct the
police-emergency anomaly *Sudden Birth*. And Angelo (*North by
Current*) Minax offers
up his *Stay with Me**,* wherein Dallas TV anchors from 50 years ago are
re-imagined as Proclaimers of Doom. That piece, and Michael Morris'
uncanny *Night
of a Thousand Branches**,* are part of the West Coast Premiere of the *Ghosts
of Lost Futures* project that radically re-edits Dallas TV holdings from
the year 1970! *ALSO* Mariam Ghani on the stillborn Afghan film
industry, Ian Saroka on the Slovenian cinema safe-house, and Sarah Woods on
the Palestinian motion picture legacy. $8

*The 50th Anniversary of Collectif Jeune Cinéma second part*
We Started a Residency at Mains d'Œuvres (Saint-Ouen, near Paris) in order
to set up the Collectif Jeune Cinéma's Temporary Cinematheque. More than a
third of our catalog will be screened there, with one screening every
Friday, and one full Saturday per month. With the CJC's Temporary
Cinematheque, we want to set up a place where every week, at any cost,
different and experimental films will be screened, and thus create a
regular program, where the importance is given as much to the conviviality
of the place as to the quality of the programming. We want to make the
Temporary Film Library a place where filmmakers, cinephiles, curious
people, students and film professionals can meet. If everyone can leave a
screening with the desire to make a film, to be interested in marginal
forms of cinema, and thus contribute to alternative histories of cinema, we
would be very happy. Programming The CJC's Temporary Film Library will
offer nearly 80 screenings between now and May 2022. The programs are all
made from our distribution catalog and have been programmed in reverse
chronological order, according to the production date of each film. The
screenings, in continuity, invite you to go back in time through more than
a third of our distributed films, from 2020 to 1943. Thus, the programming
is taken care of by our catalog itself without going through a thematic or
historical proposal of a programmer. Films made by children, structural
films, abstract films, dance films, filmed diaries, amateur films,
experimental documentaries... The CJC's Temporary Film Library gives us the
opportunity to discover the richness and heterogeneity of our catalog,
which has been in existence for 50 years and is constantly being renewed,
and which will hopefully continue for the next 50 years!
There will be almost 80 screenings in all, with films from 2020 to 1943.
Films will be shown in reverse chronological order, according to their
production date. Members of the CJC, all filmmakers, will welcome you in
this space that we hope will be open to all: that's why the entrance fee is
pay-what-you-want. Members of the CJC, all filmmakers, will welcome you in
this space that we hope will be open to all : that's why the entrance fee
is pay-what-you-want. In November we present films between 2000 to 2005.

The 1970s and ‘80s in the US saw a renaissance of independent, experimental
animation being produced by a wildly talented and diverse group of young
artists. Thanks to revitalized art and film school curricula, access to
equipment, and new opportunities for funding, numerous animators had the
chance to produce otherworldly personal visions which then had an extensive
outlet in festivals, museums, and nontheatrical markets. New access to
industry grade equipment even enabled artists to realize their animations
in 35mm, although 16mm remained a more affordable format for many.
Frank Mouris’s classic information-overload cut-out autobiography, Frank
Film, marks one of the few times a genuinely experimental film took home an
Oscar, signalling an unexpected level of attention these imaginative,
independent visions might achieve. Gorgeous, lyrical work by Sara Petty,
Maureen Selwood, Lisze Bechtold, and Sky David each combine different
approaches to figuration and abstraction, marked by a diversely complex and
affecting poetry. Ayoka Chenzira’s memorable Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy
Headed People, uses multiple techniques to explore Black history and
identity through hairstyles, resulting in a vivid work that is hilarious
and moving. Suzan Pitt’s masterpiece Asparagus is an iconic film of global
independent animation, and is a revelation to experience in its original
35mm format. And finally, rarely seen films by Tom Leeser & Diana Wilson
and Daina Krumins explore the outer boundaries of visual experimentation -
Krumins’ Babobilicons must truly be one of the most compellingly weird
short films ever made.
This eclectic program of American experimental animation spans this
exciting period, and will screen entirely in 35mm restorations supervised
and presented by Mark Toscano from the Academy Film Archive in Los Angeles.

*Underground Movies, program 3: Journeys Within*
Caves, sewers, subways, mines, bunkers, crypts—the planet’s real and mythic
subterranean spaces have served a capacious array of functions, as sources
of fossil fuels and imaginative speculation alike. This series of programs
explores how moving-image artists have tackled these hidden worlds—through
documentary observation into their murky depths, performative bodily
engagement, abstraction, archival montage, and computer graphics.
