*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.

aCinema is a monthly exhibition dedicated to the screening of works by
moving image artists from around the globe for audiences during the 9 month
period of September to May. aCinema also organizes a yearly festival
programmed from an open call for works titled, aDifferent festival. Through
the exhibition of artists -- historical and contemporary, emerging and
established -- in curated programs, aCinema creates a platform for artists
of all career statuses to share a common exhibition space.

Through the curatorial themes and independent thoughts expressed within the
works, aCinema hopes to inspire and expand audiences' views of the moving
image, fostering an arts educational space, where audiences are free to
engage in discussion with curators and artists (when present) following the
screenings.

*Jonas Mekas and the New York Avant-Garde*
The exhibition presents Jonas Mekas' (1922-2019) work in the expanded
sense. It covers his filmic practice as well as his intellectual,
organizational, and often bluntly administrative approach to the labour of
building and running multiple institutions and fostering new habits of
looking at film as an art form. The exhibition focuses on the first three
decades of Mekas' activities, starting with his coming to New York as a
displaced person in 1949, through to him becoming a central figure in
advocating, producing, distributing, promoting, and preserving the filmic
avant-garde.

The exhibition features Mekas' filmic corpus, including his celebrated
diary films that epitomize his lifelong practice of recording glimpses of
everyday life: while they show personal experiences, marked by exile,
longing, family, and friendships, they are also steeped in the social and
political events of the day. Though known primarily as a poet and a
filmmaker in Lithuania, Mekas wore many more hats that granted him the
title of the 'godfather' of American avant-garde cinema. Before premiering
his first film, Mekas together with his brother Adolfas Mekas began
publishing *Film Culture* magazine in 1955 and soon joined the *Village
Voice* as a film critic. These became the main outlets through which Mekas
channeled his ideas about film as an art form of personal expression and
called for a new kind of cinema free from censorship and existing
production and distribution systems.

An alternative arts movement sprang up across New York in the postwar
years, as artist-run spaces, groups, and cooperatives took the production
and distribution of art into their own hands in response to mainstream
institutional structures and official cultural politics. Mekas had been a
crucial part of it. By the mid-1960s, Mekas' loft at 414 Park Avenue South
became a headquarters for the fermenting avant-garde film culture; a
sleepless hub frequented by filmmakers and artists alike. This decade
marked Mekas' embrace of the avant-garde spirit, as he took part in the
formation of the New American Cinema Group, and the establishment of the
Film-Makers' Cooperative, the Filmmakers' Cinematheque, and Anthology Film
Archives. These time-consuming activities occasionally seeped into his
filmic diaries and even, as Mekas suggested, to some degree determined his
films' fragmentary structure. They are presented in the exhibition through
a selection of critical writings, photographs, magazines, institutional
ephemera, and other archival material arranged in porous conceptual
clusters on the table traversing the exhibition space. Images, sounds, and
materials Mekas collected and organized throughout his lifetime - in his
films and in his personal archive - serve today as an entry point into the
history of avant-garde film culture in New York.

The exhibition pays tribute to this era of the burgeoning American
avant-garde film scene and contextualizes Mekas' output by presenting a
selection of works by filmmakers who shared his aesthetic sensibility, whom
he championed, and with whom he worked, including Gideon Bachmann, Stan
Brakhage, Shirley Clarke, Maya Deren, Storm de Hirsch, Ken Jacobs, Marie
Menken, Carolee Schneemann, Paul Sharits, Jack Smith, and Andy Warhol. A
selection of films is screened behind the curved wall in the specially
designed projection rooms. These rooms are loosely inspired by the
Invisible Cinema, an experimental movie theater designed by the Austrian
artist and filmmaker Peter Kubelka and originally installed at Anthology
Film Archives in 1970.

*LIAF Edge of Frame: Robert Breer: Two Programs*
*“I’d really like to have my films go ‘Fvoom!’ just like that – one split
second… But somehow, that’s not the way perception works.” *– Robert Breer

It is 10 years since the artist, filmmaker and animator Robert Breer died,
and his impact on experimental animation practice is greater than ever.
During his lengthy artistic career Breer collaborated with the likes of
Jean Tinguely and Claes Oldenberg, created kinetic sculptures that moved at
an almost imperceptible rate, and produced more than 40 influential and
groundbreaking films. As part of London International Animation Festival
2021, Edge of Frame presents two programmes exploring Breer’s substantial
legacy. The first programme; Fvoom! The Animated Films of Robert Breer
brings together a selection of his seminal works of experimental animation,
which collide radical discontinuity with cartooning and found materials,
formally daring one moment, daftly humorous the next. The second; After
Images, presents a range of work by contemporary animation artists who have
built on his myriad formal and conceptual innovations, taking his lead into
unexpected new directions. This programme shows the acute relevance Breer’s
work continues to have for artists working with animation in an uncertain
and unpredictable world.

*New Red Order*
As is our custom this time of year, OC flips the traditional Turkey
Day celebration of white-settler survivalists back into an acknowledgement
of the original inhabitants of the land being colonized. This year's
program of Native American media-art is given over to a feisty collective
of young makers who've made quite an international splash (*Art
*Forum, NYTimes, London
Times) with their non-stop stream of critical works--shorts, features, and
installations--that take oppositional positions on a wide range
of aboriginal issues...and in ways both comic and apocalyptic.
Principals Adam Khalil, Zack Khalil (Ojibway) and Jackson Polys (Tlingit)
presented here in person to a sold-out crowd two years ago, but this time
will be sending in a quiver of indigenous essays from the shooting-set of
their in-production *Nosferasta*...including a sneak peek of that same
project! Amongst the many other titles are *Culture Capture*, *Violence of
a Civilization*, plus trailers for both *Empty Metal* and *INAATE/SE/*. $8

*New Time: The Future is Feminist. Persists, Resists, Exists*
This program celebrates a range of materialist approaches to feminist
filmmaking in the United States, ranging from Nazli Dinçel’s utopian
instructional film about 16mm filmmaking and Jodie Mack’s gorgeous
stop-motion meditation on nature’s cycles, to Christina C. Nguyen’s and
Peggy Ahwesh’s reimaginings of the representation of female protagonists in
popular music and early video games. Jeanne C. Finley’s and Janis Crystal
Lipzin’s films explore resistance and existence through personal histories,
while Kelly Gallagher’s exuberant collage animation commemorates the life
and achievements of the activist and organizer Lucy Parsons, who the
Chicago police described as “more dangerous than a thousand rioters.”

With Jeanne C. Finley and Janis Crystal Lipzin in person!

This series of films highlights works by artists and visionaries who
reimagine life and transform its representation, often in response to the
many crises that mark their epochs.

*TRANSFORMATION AND RENEWAL *
*“BE YE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING
OF YOUR MIND.”* -ROMANS 12
>From the warm flicker of the hand-cranked projector to the cool glow of a
cracked iPhone screen, cinema remains in flux, and yet it continues to
offer the viewer chances to encounter uniquely personal visions. These
visions alter our perceptions of reality and strengthen our resistance to
conformity and complacency. Is this cinema as sorcery? Voluntary
derangement of the senses can lead to unexpected possibilities, and the
recovery of presence reveals the joy of living shrouded in the loss that
marks our time.

*Cinema of Breath: Poetics of Migrancy*
Does cinema breathe? Can we understand migration through cinematic poetry?

Curated by Kalpana Subramanian, *Cinema of Breath: Poetics of Migrancy* brings
together a series of cinematic experiments that range across registers of
the personal, collective, scientific, and archival. Together, these short
films explore ideas of home and mobility, exile and displacement, and
memories of place.

The program showcases films by Alexandra Cuesta, Crystal Z Campbell, Erin
Espelie, Gariné Torossian, MTL Collective, Sky Hopinka, Sonali Gulati,
Suneil Sanzgiri, and Kalpana Subramanian. It will be followed by a
discussion with the curator and guest filmmakers.

*Cinema of Breath* is based on Subramanian’s doctoral research in Media
Study at the University at Buffalo. Her research into experimental film
draws from breath practices in Yoga and Buddhist philosophy. Through this
lens, “breath” can be thought of as the creational force of cinema that
brings it to “life.”

The event will be accessible to audiences for 24 hours after the event.
Squeaky Wheel members will have access for 72 hours. Not a member? Sign up

*RETROSPECTIVE: MICHAEL SNOW*
A filmmaker, photographer, sculptor, painter, musician, and writer, Michael
Snow’s prodigious talents have earned him a well-deserved reputation as one
of Canada’s foremost living artists. Born in Toronto in 1928, Snow was a
bohemian art student who devoted himself equally to painting and jazz piano
throughout the 1940s and 1950s (he is still an active musician today).
While he exhibited his visual works in Toronto galleries from the mid-50s
onwards, it was not until moving to New York City in 1962 that the larger
art world took notice of his various activities and endeavors.

No matter what mode he works in or in what context he exhibits (theater,
gallery, museum, public art installation), Snow always turns his content on
its head by playing with the formal structures of the medium at hand. Much
of his cinematic oeuvre is focused on exploring the differences between
screen space and physical space; film time and real time; the slippery
relationship between sound and picture; the critical processes involved in
producing and perceiving images; the material essence of the celluloid
image; and the transformative effects achieved through duration.
Intellectual without being overly didactic, and always playful, Snow’s
filmography stands out as one of the most accomplished bodies of
moving-image work produced in the last 60 years. As such, Anthology is
pleased to host a full retrospective of Snow’s film and video work, 1956 to
2019, including the premiere of our years-in-the-making restoration of his
seminal film *<--->* (BACK AND FORTH).

This retrospective has been programmed by John Klacsmann and Jed Rapfogel,
and is co-presented with the Consulate General of Canada in New York.
Special thanks to Peggy Gale; Chris Kennedy; Andrew Lampert; Catherine
Scheinman (Consulate General of Canada in New York); Jay Sanders, Stella
Cilman, Danielle Jackson & Rezarta Seferi (Artists Space); and Kenneth
White.
