*Night Reels: Stacey Steers Exhibition*
In a mystical and dreamlike atmosphere, the observation of the moon and the
stars joins the magic of the pre-cinema. This fall, the world of Stacey
Steers will enchant the two exhibition rooms of the Cinémathèque. The
exhibition "focuses on three series that the American artist created around
her latest films: *PHANTOM CANYON* (2006), *NIGHT HUNTER* (2011), and *EDGE
OF ALCHEMY* (2017). In this triptych exhibition bringing together animated
films, collages, astronomy instruments, and sculptures, Stacey Steers
explores the world of cinema, its technological history, its imaginary, its
icons. She pays tribute to emblematic female figures of early cinema, such
as Lillian Gish or Janet Gaynor, whom she reintroduces into vegetal or
surreal settings inspired by 19th century engravings." In conjunction with
the exhibition, a retrospective of Steers' films will screen on Thursday
9/9.

M-F 10am-6pm, ET, 534 W 26th Street
*The Decay of Fiction by Pat O'Neill*
Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to present *The Decay of Fiction* by Pat
O’Neill, the Los Angeles-based artist and experimental filmmaker, whose
work has been represented by the gallery since 2015. O’Neill has
transformed his 2002 film of the same title into a five-channel
installation, digitally scanning and recombining individual sections into a
distinct, new work. Premiering in 2018, this will be the first showing in
New York.

For the five-channel presentation, O’Neill has rearranged the film into
distinct components across which settings and actors recur alongside
special effects such as animations and split screens. Set to an unremitting
soundscape of moving traffic and birds, they offer an almost hallucinogenic
amalgamation of now and then, and real and imagined. Their simultaneous
unfolding offers further permutations of the composite imagery, eliminating
for good any possibility of a linear narrative.

A portrait of an architectural site facing imminent demolition, the
multichannel installation embodies a hybrid genre where history and
artifice coexist. Through its layered approach to documentation and
collective memory, *The Decay of Fiction* honors the Ambassador Hotel as
its own purveyor of fictions: a site for the production of illusions that,
as O’Neill notes, “sometimes provided [people] with respite from their real
lives, allowed fantasies to be developed and nurtured, and taught lessons
about how to be human.”

*The 10th Cairo Video Festival*
When Screens Widen: The 10th Cairo Video Festival for Video Art and
Experimental Film
The locusts are normally shy creatures, but undergo dramatic
transformations in both appearance and behavior. They swap their colors,
become more aggressive and highly destructive. At that moment, they do not
want to keep a low profile, but instead get ready to swarm.

9 Programs are presented this year that will be installed and screened
across the city, 78 films from 27 countries.
One program looks at mental processes and perceptions of space and time in
the digital world, while another investigates the hidden codes of city
life. A third takes viewers out of space and time altogether; a fourth
explores ideas of doublethink, comfort and fear, memory and image. These
programs are thought of as site-specific screen happenings, interventions,
and collaborations, and hope to offer exciting and alternative ways of
navigating spaces around the city.

Invoking a commitment to working and experimenting in the field, the genres
of selected films will be spanning with diversity, that will include: Music
videos, VR Films, Glitch Films, Performance films, Animation films, CGI
Films, Narrative Films, Film essay, Covid-eo art, and Video poetry.

In parallel, the publication accompanying this year’s Cairo Video Festival
will include overviews and excerpts of longer pieces of academic research
and artistic proposals, among other contributions, with one program
containing textual intertitles that offers a parallel thread to the video
works in language

Works this year were nominated and selected by the festival’s team as well
as the Selection and Programmers Committee: Eslam Hossam, Malak Helmy, Mena
El Shazly, Mohamed Allam, and Ruairí O’Brien.

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.

*Adrift: Mila Turajlić: Debris from complex vessels - fragments from the
non-aligned newsreels*
*Adrift* is a residency program curated by *Bahía Colectiva* in
collaboration with *Los Angeles Filmforum*  where filmmakers connect with
audiences and other practitioners by sharing a virtual archive of the
process materials behind their film and video works. The materials
showcased may include: texts, images, sounds, music, research notes,
drawings, sculpture, found objects, film references, food recipes, news
reports, text messages, accidental encounters, inspirations, conversations,
arguments, dreams, etc. Existing in virtuality, *Adrift* is a borderless
space for community building and broadening collective knowledge between
filmmakers, artists, curators and enthusiasts.

We are excited to announce Mila Turajlić as our artist in residence this
week. In her work with archives, Mila researches the intersection of
personal and national memories, always seeking to reactivate forgotten
histories, through forms ranging from lecture performances and video art to
analytical essays. The archive of unseen materials will be accessible
through *Bahía Colectiva’s *online platform
<https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=68a2517eb3&e=857b71a9cb>

*FESTIVAL DES CINÉMAS DIFFÉRENTS ET EXPÉRIMENTAUX DE PARIS*
The Paris Festival for Different and Experimental cinema is an annual
international event organized by the Collectif Jeune Cinéma, a structure
dedicated to the distribution and diffusion of experimental image and film
practices.

The theme of each edition is submitted to the vote of CJC’s members. The
films’ selection is a collective process led by a group of CJC filmmakers
who, with their expertise, select experimental films from a large number of
films submitted every year from all over the world. The festival promotes
cinematographies which focus on the creative act and endeavors to guide
audiences by producing editorial contents. Since 1999, the festival is
increasingly recognized internationally.

This event is supported by the Region Île-de-France, the DRAC Île-de-France
and the City of Paris. The history of this festival is strongly linked to
the history of Collectif Jeune Cinéma, a Paris based filmmakers cooperative
for distribution.

*PSYCHO-GEOGRAPHY2*
Re-starting our season-series on the Sensibility of Place, esteemed San
Fran cineaste *Jeanne Finley* personally introduces her hour-long
essay, *Beyond
the Cosmodrome*, interweaving a poignant group portrait of nine Kazakh
orphans coming of age in the shadow of a nearby Cosmodrome. Herself a
mother of a Kazakh adoptee, Finley conjures a complex yet lyrical sense of
space and time from the majestic landscape of the Steppes, from the local
traditional culture, from the imagination of Soviet rocket science, and
from the teens' own writings and performances. Opening the program are four
premieres from Finley's long-time collaborator, *John Muse*, all the way
out here from his professor's chair in Philadelphia! Muse's videos
alternatively explore an interior landscape of anxiety and imagination via
playful gestures and direct address: *American Breakfast*,* Alive*,* Duet*,
and *giroscopio*. $8

programmed by Vivian Ostrosky. *

The films in this program, irrespective of their individual themes, strive
to reveal reality using a camera or montage that alter the former to
achieve their intent. Long takes treat the different subjects - a dying
house, a building or a city kept alive by their rites, a suburban community
suffering from a wind turbine's flickers - from a sociological angle. Games
a woman plays reflecting on her own identity exemplify this as well through
varied techniques such as juxtapositions of photo and moving image, frames
within frames, and split screen effects.

*Last Light of a Dying Star with Roger Beebe*
We are so excited to join hands with Roger Beebe for a special birthday
celebration performance of *Last Light of a Dying Star*! A multi-projector
meditation on the mysteries of space, last shown in New York ten years ago
to commemorate Roger Beebe’s 40th birthday, it will now be shown at
UnionDocs to ring in another decade of his life! The show will also include
the NYC premiere of the 4-projector *de rerum natura* (2019), which
alternates between 16mm and video to ruminate on our troubled relationship
to the natural world, and the 4 x 16mm work-in-progress, *Home Means Never
Having to Say You’re Sorry*, made using decorative tape purchased at
Michael’s in Downtown Brooklyn. This multi-projector extravaganza will also
kick off the performance-focused workshop Roger will lead in the following
days, a delightful way for all of us to send off one year and ring in
another with him!

Note: Proof of vaccination required.

*EC: THE ART OF VISION by Stan Brakhage*
“Includes the complete *DOG STAR MAN* and a full extension of the
singularly visible themes of it. Inspired by that period of music in which
the word ‘symphonia’ was created and by the thought that the term, as then,
was created to name the overlap and enmeshing of suites, this film presents
the visual symphony that DOG STAR MAN can be seen as and also all the
suites of which it is composed. But as it is a film, and a work of music,
the above suggests only one of the possible approaches to it. For instance,
as ‘cinematographer,’ at source, means ‘writer of movement,’ certain poetic
analogies might serve as well. The form is conditioned by the works of art
which have inspired DOG STAR MAN, its growth of form by the physiology and
experiences (including experiences of art) of the man who made it. Finally,
it must be seen for what it is.” –Stan Brakhage

*Adrift: Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner*
*Live Q&A with Filmmaker and Programmers on October 17, 1:00 pm PT*
*Adrift* is a residency program curated by *Bahía Colectiva* in
collaboration with *Los Angeles Filmforum*  where filmmakers connect with
audiences and other practitioners by sharing a virtual archive of the
process materials behind their film and video works. The materials
showcased may include: texts, images, sounds, music, research notes,
drawings, sculpture, found objects, film references, food recipes, news
reports, text messages, accidental encounters, inspirations, conversations,
arguments, dreams, etc. Existing in virtuality, *Adrift* is a borderless
space for community building and broadening collective knowledge between
filmmakers, artists, curators and enthusiasts.

We are excited to announce Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner as our artists
in residence this week. Working collaboratively since 2017, their films,
texts and lectures focus on the moving image as a tool for the active
production of new worlds. Their practice has been driven by questions about
the thresholds between the body and its surroundings, knowledge regimes and
power, modes of organizing and perceiving the natural world. The archive of
unseen materials will be accessible through Bahía Colectiva’s online
platform. The film screening and discussion on the exposed archive will be
streamed through Los Angeles Filmforum’s website.

Programmed by Bahía Colectiva.

on
October 22.

*The festival theme is "RESISTANCE"*

We're currently living in a time where resistance seems to be part of our
everyday life. The act of swimming against the current - not for futile
reasons but to spark change and awareness. For our 14th annual festival, we
will be exploring the act of resisting from both a micro and macro
perspective. How does one withstand opposing forces that sometimes feel
overwhelming? How does resistance measure a material's ability to resist
the flow of electrons through it? How do organisms resist harmful
influences such as disease, toxic agents or infection? How do we all
express our resistance, either internally or externally?

Though this subject is the special focus of this year's festival, we'll be
featuring films, installations, and hybrid works of any and all other
genres, methodologies, and subjects, as always that push the boundaries of
the science narrative and embrace the spirit of the *Science New Wave
<https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=297c35990d&e=857b71a9cb>*
.

Over the course of the festival, the Symbiosis competition will be in full
swing. Six pairs of scientists and filmmakers will be making films on the
theme of RESISTANCE. More info on competition on our *Symbiosis page*.

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

*EC: THE TEXT OF LIGHT by Stan Brakhage*
“All that is, is light.” –Johannes Scotus Erigena “[Brakhage shot] *THE
TEXT OF LIGHT* in (through) a large crystal ashtray. This magnificent film
– a slow montage of iridescent splays of light and shifting landscapes of
sheer color, which acknowledges debts to Turner and American Romantic
landscape painters as well as to James Davis, the pioneer film-maker of
light projections – is the culmination of Brakhage’s exploration of
anamorphosis.” –P. Adams Sitney, VISIONARY FILM

*EYES* (1970, 36 min, 16mm, silent)
“After wishing for years to be given the opportunity of filming some of the
more ‘mystical’ occupations of our Times – some of the more obscure Public
Figures which the average imagination turns into ‘bogeymen’... viz.:
Policemen, Doctors, Soldiers, Politicians, etc.: – I was at last permitted
to ride in a Pittsburgh police car, camera in hand, the final several days
of September 1970.” –Stan Brakhage

*DEUS EX* (1971, 34 min, 16mm, silent)
“I have been many times very ill in hospitals; and I drew on all that
experience while making DEUS EX in West Penn. Hospital of Pittsburgh; but I
was especially inspired by the memory of one incident in an emergency room
of San Francisco’s Mission District: while waiting for medical help, I had
held myself together by reading an April-May 1965 issue of ‘Poetry
Magazine’: and the following lines from Charles Olson’s ‘Cole’s Island’ had
especially centered the experience, ‘touchstone’ of DEUS EX, for me:
Charles begins the poem with the statement ‘I met Death –’ And then: ‘He
didn’t bother me, or say anything. Which is / not surprising, a person
might not, in the circumstances; / or at most a nod or something. Or they
would. But they wouldn’t, / or you wouldn’t think to either, / it was
Death. And / He certainly was, the moment I saw him.’” –Stan Brakhage

*THE ACT OF SEEING WITH ONE’S OWN EYES* (1971, 32 min, 16mm, silent)
“Brakhage, entering, with his camera, one of the forbidden, terrific
locations of our culture, the autopsy room. It is a place wherein,
inversely, life is cherished, for it exists to affirm that no one of us may
die without our knowing exactly why. All of us, in the person of the
coroner, must see that, for ourselves, with our own eyes.” –Hollis Frampton
