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.

*FILM CONTINENTS WEAVING IMAGES: ROSE LOWDER'S CINEMA*
CORRIENTE is a cinema encounter in which we want to generate a crisis in
the gaze, which makes it a place of self-absorption and alterity, where the
subject apprehends himself as someone open to the constant possibility of
being seen from another place. The cinema is for us an overflowing poetic
experience, a place of possibilities where alternatives of well-being can
arise for our lives and for our communities. Therefore, in this context of
crisis, we believe that cinema is a luminous experience that can help us to
continue living and that it is possible in our homes, in our intimate and
everyday spaces.

*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.

REDCAT welcomes film curator and historian Abraham Castillo Flores for a
one-of-a-kind live celebration at the threshold of Halloween and Día de
Muertos. Bursting with bristling film clips and unheard-of stories from the
cinematic beyond, this must-see psychotronic performative lecture will
invoke the legends of Mexican folklore that have manifested themselves
throughout the years in the country’s delirious cinema of fantasy and
horror: La Llorona, El Santo, La Momia, La Muerte, and El Diablo. These
mythical figures remain deeply ingrained in the Mexican collective psyche.
And through cycles of hibernation and euphoric popularity, they reflect the
paradoxical relationship between the reverence for and mockery of death and
the afterlife that Mexican culture is known for around the world.

*ELUSIVE ILLUSIONS*
The five storytellers in this program make use of various genres: the
documentary classicism of a statue being disclosed, the playful fable
capturing a magical corner of a room, the poetics of dancing palm branches,
the autobiography as an alphabetical exercise of childhood, the science
fiction of a book mesmerized by light. And always, illusion! Whatever the
image, whether showing, inventing, ascertaining, or simply dazzling with
its beauty, its ingenuity is always apparent.

*MEMORIAL TRIBUTE: SUZAN PITT, PROGRAM 1 + 2*
One of the most inventive and inspired experimental animators of her
generation, Suzan Pitt passed away in the summer of 2019 at the age of 75.
To celebrate her achievements, we’ll be hosting two programs surveying her
career as a filmmaker.
Pitt initially trained as a painter and graphic artist, but driven by a
desire to set her visual ideas in motion, she quickly gravitated towards
animation. Her films conjure phantasmagorical worlds in which people,
objects, and identities are in constant flux. She explores urgent subjects
such as mortality and sexuality by means of dreamlike, profoundly ambiguous
and unsettling imagery – but always with a vibrancy and sheer delight in
creation that renders the films deeply liberating and wondrous.
These screenings will showcase the Academy Film Archive’s recent
restorations of the majority of Pitt’s films, including her masterpiece,
ASPARAGUS (1978), and will also include a short documentary about her life
and work (directed by Pitt’s son and daughter-in-law). With several of
Pitt’s family members and friends present, this evening will represent a
special opportunity to share thoughts and memories of an artist whose work
is profoundly alive.
Special thanks to Blue & Laura Kraning; Charlie Ahearn; Ken Brown; Lisa
Crafts; and Mark Toscano & Edda Manriquez (Academy Film Archive).

"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." —JP &LG
