*Jonas Mekas 100!*
In 2022, the world and Lithuania celebrate the life and work of Jonas
Mekas, one of the country’s most prominent cultural figures of the 20th and
21st centuries and a global cultural phenomenon in his own right,
considered by many to be the “godfather of avant-garde cinema”.

Throughout his life, Mekas always emphasized and cherished his Lithuanian
roots. After fleeing the foreign occupation of his native land, he arrived
in New York City, in his own words “at exactly the right moment”, joining
thousands of others escaping the devastation wrought by destructive
ideologies and tyrannical regimes in Europe. One might say that Mekas left
one village, his native Semeniškiai in northern Lithuania, and immersed
himself in the life of another – the Village thriving in and around lower
Manhattan, and in its landmark publication, the Village Voice, helping to
shape American and global culture so profoundly in the latter half of the
20th century.

This centennial celebration, Jonas Mekas 100!, seeks to expand global
recognition of his work and encourage a deeper exploration of Mekas’
prolific contributions to cinema, film criticism, cultural organization,
and, in particular, his body of poems and prose, now published in
Lithuanian, French, German, English, Japanese, Hebrew, and many other
languages.

The centennial program features over 50 events in an expanding list of
countries, including: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan,
Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The vast scope of
Mekas’ contribution to global cultural is examined through film screenings
and retrospectives, exhibitions, readings, workshops, new publications and
translations of Mekas’ writings, and concerts celebrating the spirit of his
work, among other events.

The centennial program is a joint international collaboration between
leading art and cinema organisations, curators, publishers, the global
network of Lithuanian cultural attachés, the Estate of Jonas Mekas, and the
Lithuanian Culture Institute.

Wed - Sat, 11am-6pm PT,
McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, 1150 25th Street, Building B, San Francisco
*seen only, heard only through someone else’s description*
Short films offer new temporal spaces for considering how images and
narratives construct meaning, artifice, and memory.
*seen only, heard only through someone else’s description* engages
filmmakers and artists whose interdisciplinary practices draw from
performance, film, photography, research, and writing. The program’s title
stems from *Audience Distant Relative* (1977) by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha
(1951–1982)—a poem, performance, and mail art piece that uses language to
unravel dynamics of distance, visibility, hearing, and communication.

The program is organized in two sessions of experimental short films by
women and nonbinary artists from the 1970s through the 2010s. *Sometimes We
Stand Alone* explores personal identity and history through experimental
processes and found footage. *Drawing Energy* is concerned with communities
of women and their collective power to document and deeply engage with
artistic, cultural, or familial lineages. The collected works interweave
varied perspectives to probe formal tensions between the moving image and
still photography. *Sometimes We Stand Alone* screens daily from January 14
through March 4, 2022. *Drawing Energy* debuts March 5 and runs through
April 30, 2022.

Guest curated by Gina Basso in conjunction with Image Gardeners, an
exhibition of modern and contemporary photography from the McEvoy Family
Collection.

*Early Blossoms/Perilous Thirds*
Current Space is proud to present "Early Blossoms/Perilous Thirds." an
exhibition of works by Stephanie Barber, Patrick David, and Josh Dorman;
curated by Andrew Shenker, Michael Benevento, and Julianne Hamilton. Please
join us for the opening reception!

Opening Reception: March 26th, 6-9pm
Exhibition Duration: March 26th – May 7th
Gallery Hours: Fridays & Saturdays, 1-5pm

"The work from these three artists presents questions of the narrative
image, an experience that opens an associative window––what does a line you
once recognized become as it breaks, what does a body?
The conversation arrives in threes, triangulates the snake in the garden
and holds it to the glass.
A symbol contorts to reflect itself in the eye that catches it. To take the
icon out of its rank, the head from its neck, to weigh how small or smooth
the evidence of a hand in the world it creates.
Broken time, things in place, place in things."
- Caroline Preziosi

"\[Shared most of all, perhaps, is a meditative and uncanny mood at the
edge of the sayable, close to oblivion; a dreamlike warmth (and horror).\]"

Multipurpose Hall, George Eastman Museum, 900 East Avenue, Rochester, NY
*JODIE MACK: MATTER MATTERS*
The George Eastman Museum is pleased to present selected experimental
animated films by Jodie Mack (UK, b. 1983), an artist who has developed a
remarkable filmmaking style that provides new perspectives on a variety of
familiar materials. Mack’s subjects often include captivating decorative
objects and vintage, ornate textiles. Her films invite viewers to
contemplate the objects’ significance and the nature of disposability.

Mack often works with a Bolex camera and 16mm film, and her films explode
with dizzying displays of colors, shapes, and patterns. While her mastery
of traditional stop-motion animation technique is highly precise and
sometimes abstract, Mack’s films have a joyful, handmade quality that
radiates humor and human warmth.

The following film descriptions are provided by the artist.

A program of four animated short films. Originally shot in 16mm the films
will be screened digitally in this presentation on a loop (21 min. total)
during museum hours.

*Posthaste Perennial Pattern* (US 2010, 4 min.). Rapid-fire florals and
morning birdsong bridge interior and exterior, design and nature.
*Blanket Statement #1: Home is Where the Heart is* (US 2012, 3 min.).
Discordant dysfunction down to the nitty-gritty.
*Blanket Statement #2: All or Nothing* (US 2013, 4 min.). A battle of
extreme extremes.
*Something Between Us* (US 2015, 10 min.). A choreographed motion study for
twinkling trinkets: costume jewelry and natural wonders join forces to
perform plastic pirouettes, dancing a luminous lament until the tide comes
in.

*IMAGELESS FILMS, PART 1*
If there’s one central element that would seem to be intrinsic and
indispensable to any reasonable definition of the cinema it would be the
presence of imagery, whether photographed, animated, or generated through
more experimental methods such as hand-painting, scratching, collaging, and
so on. Nevertheless, throughout the history of the medium, artists have
challenged even this seemingly core tenet of the art form by producing
works that subvert or entirely dispense with the image, by expanding the
definition of the kinds of experience that can be shared within the space
of the cinema, or by provocatively defining as “cinema” performances that
might seem a thing apart.

These subversions of the idea of a medium of “moving images” have taken
many forms: works that emphasize spoken dialogue or sound collages; films
whose visual tracks consist primarily of written text; projector
performances that showcase or manipulate light and darkness; flicker films;
pure color studies; films that punctuate long stretches of darkness with
near-subliminal bursts of imagery; and so on and so forth.

With this ongoing series, Anthology embarks on an extended, in-depth, and
multi-chapter exploration of the various ways that filmmakers and artists
have experimented with the possibilities of an “imageless” cinema (or have
played with the idea of “emptiness” or visual subtraction in a more general
sense). The series will include short and feature-length films by
filmmakers as various as Stan Brakhage, Guy Debord, Bradley Eros, Hollis
Frampton, Takahiko Iimura, Derek Jarman, Margaret Honda, Louise Lawler,

*YOUR EYES ARE SPECTRAL MACHINES: A Live Projection Performance by Luis
Macías*
AgX welcomes Spanish artist, filmmaker and image-moving composer Luis
Macías for an evening of film and expanded cinema performance, as part of
his U.S. tour.

*Your eyes are spectral machines* is a selection of films in which Luis
Macías investigates the concept of what he calls spectral cinema. Exploring
each of the different components of the film spectrum: the process and
structure as a challenge, the photochemical transformation in the
laboratory of created and/or appropriate images, editing/manipulation and
re-photography through the optical/contact printer, and the projection as
an event ... These are parts of a filmic forms organized in closed
structures allowing intermediate spaces that force/activate improvisation.
The properties of the image and its forms and the modification/alteration
of the mechanical structure of the projector are combined in new proposals
for the exercise of a human eye that explores the images of nature and/or
how it is revealed to us.

Luis Macías is co-founder and active member of CRATER-Lab in Barcelona, an
independent artist-run-film Lab for analog cinema.

Door opens at 7:30. masks / facial coverings are required.

*Luis Macías + Optipus (OptiLupus) Graphic Film Score*
New York-based film & sound collective OPTIPUS performs Spanish artist and
filmmaker Luis Macías' “Graphic Film Score,” made entirely of 16mm film
strips. These are to be interpreted, much like an orchestra interprets a
musical score, by light and sound makers. This project for Macías is a
reflection on the ideas of “filmmaker as musician” or “projector as
instrument” and one that questions “cinematic concepts of free
interpretation.”

The score begins with a few indications or instructions for the performers,
such as the following:

Each page is structured in 4 time lines of events;
Each one of the 4 time lines connects with one or several
performers/instruments independently;
The variations, forms, textures, defined in the time line, are the
punctuation signs and indication elements of time, modulation, intensity,
contrast, distortion and internal-external rhythm;
The reading has to be precise, but its interpretation is free.

Graphic Film Score will be interpreted and performed by the following
members of the expanded cinema collective OPTIPUS:
*Bradley Eros* ›› 16mm film & loops / 35mm slides / foley
*Jeanne Liotta* ›› Overhead projector
*Richard Sylvarnes* ›› Sampler
*Genevieve HK* ›› Overhead projector with liquids
*Lary Seven* ›› Magic Lantern

*VIVIENNE DICK'S 'NEW YORK OUR TIME'*
Anthology welcomes back Irish experimental filmmaker Vivienne Dick – who
was a key participant in the No Wave movement that emerged in NYC in the
late 1970s – for a special screening of her most recent film. NEW YORK OUR
TIME is an intimate and reflective documentary that contrasts the concerns
of present day living in New York with the bohemian wildness of the city in
the late 1970s, reflected through the lives of artists, musicians, and
friends of the filmmaker. To a pulsing soundtrack, the film combines
never-before-seen Super-8mm footage from the era, shot while the filmmaker
was living in the East Village, with intimate conversations with old
friends filmed in NYC during the hot summer of 2019. Stories of the past
recall a run down, bankrupt, often dangerous city, where rent was cheap and
artistic creativity flourished, while in the NYC of today glittering
mirrored towers reflect a city radically consumed by mass gentrification,
tourism, and high-end luxury gift shops for the one percent.

Beautifully filmed by renowned cinematographer Declan Quinn, and edited by
Connie Farrell,* NEW YORK OUR TIME* is an ethnographic look from the inside
at a particular community and period in the history of a great city, and a
meditation on the passing of time. Interviewees include photographer Nan
Goldin, performer Lydia Lunch, and post-punk feminists Bush Tetras, as well
as representatives of a new generation, the children of that 1970s era of
free expression, now finding their own way through a city increasingly in
thrall to market forces.

*NEW YORK OUR TIME*
2020, 79 min, digital. With music by Bush Tetras, Mars, Konk, The
Contortions, Ray Santiago, Lizzie Mercier Descloux, Lydia Lunch and Teenage
Jesus and the Jerks, and Felice Rosser.

This screening is presented by Anthology Film Archives and Irish Screen
America, in association with the Consul General of Ireland in New York.
Irish Screen America showcases, promotes, and supports the work of Irish
film and media makers in the U.S. through networking events, festivals, and
screenings. Irish Screen America is supported by the Irish Department of
Foreign Affairs Emigrant Support Programme and project funding from Culture
Ireland and Screen Ireland. The production of NEW YORK OUR TIME was made
possible by a Reel Art creative arts documentary grant from the Arts
Council of Ireland.

*The Washing Society*
Interweaving narrative, documentary, and performance art, filmmaker Sachs
and playwright Olesker chronicled the disappearing public space of the
neighborhood laundromat and the intimate labor that takes place there.
Interviews and choreographed scenes detail the exploitation of the largely
Chinese- and Spanish-speaking New York workforce, while a “ghost” from the
Washing Society, a labor organization of African American laundresses,
chronicles their strike for better wages in 1881. A stark yet poetic vision
of working lives that are chronically unrecognized emerges as the film
deftly moves between the past and present to investigate the intersection
of underpaid work, immigration, and the sheer math of doing laundry.

*The Washing Society*, Lizzie Olesker, Lynne Sachs, United States, 75min,

5pm PT workshop, 7:30pm PT screening,

*Lynne Sachs’ Film About a Father Who + Workshop*
Presented in association with Shapeshifters Cinema and Pacific Film Archive

Workshop and screening are ticketed separately. Discount enrollment for
Shapeshifters members and Cinematheque members.

*Opening the Family Album: A Filmmaking Workshop with Lynne Sachs*
Join Lynne Sachs at 5pm for *Opening the Family Album*, a two-hour workshop
in which participants will explore the ways in which images of family
members might become material for the making of a personal film. Each
participant will come to the workshop with a single photograph (in-hand or
digital) they want to examine. During the workshop, participants will write
text in response to this image by incorporating storytelling and
performance. In the process, we will discuss and challenge notions of
truth-telling and language. Your final work will then be a live narration
with image. This workshop is inspired by the work of Italian novelist
Natalia Ginzburg, whose writing explores family relationships during the
Fascist years and World War II. Ginzburg was a prescient artist who enjoyed
mixing up conventional distinctions between fiction and non-fiction: “Every
time that I have found myself inventing something in accordance with my old
habits as a novelist, I have felt compelled at once to destroy it. The
places, events, and people are all real.”

*Film About a Father Who*, 7:30pm,
In her nearly forty-year career as a filmmaker, Lynne Sachs, in various
shorts and long form works, has developed a uniquely engaged and sensitive
approach to personal experimental documentary form. Frequently focusing on
families—often her own—Sachs’s films portray their subjects with rare
personal complexity and grace. In so doing, Sachs’ portraits describe their
subjects within the flows of history, always within the interwoven,
multigenerational webs of family, friendships and society. Consisting of
footage collected by Sachs from 1984 to 2019, and collecting oral history
from family members documenting nearly a half century of family history,
Film About a Father Who presents a complicated, multi-vocal, narrative
portrait of the filmmaker’s father, while exploring a complex family
dynamic of anger, confusion, love and forgiveness, evolving over
generations. (Steve Polta)

My father has always chosen the alternative path in life, a path that has
brought unpredictable adventures, many children with many different women,
brushes with the law and a life-long interest in trying to do some good in
the world. It is also a film about the complex dynamics that conspire to
create a family. There is nothing really nuclear about all of us, we are a
solar system composed of a changing number of planets revolving around a
single sun, a sun that nourishes, a sun that burns, a sun that each of us
knows is good and bad for us. We accept and celebrate, somehow, the
consequences. (Lynne Sachs)

*OPEN AIR SCREENING: Transitions by Tetsuya Maruyama*

*Transition*, 2022 "One frame to another. One tree to another. One life to
another. Transition." - Tetsuya Maruyama

Tetsuya Maruyama (Yokohama, 1983) is an artist whose interdisciplinary
practice includes film, performance, sound, installation and everything
between. His work departs from re-contextualization of found banal
materials and textures, as a liminal record of quotidian observations. He
received BS Arch from University of Buffalo(2007) and certificate in
Montage and Editing of Image and Sound from Escola de Cinema Darcy
Ribeiro(2016). His works have been exhibited widely at festivals, museums,
and galleries, including Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, MUTA,
Slavonian Biennial, Kurtzfilm Hamburg, Dobra, Dresdner Schmalfilmtage,
Chicago Underground Film Festival, Istanbul International Experimental Film
Festival, Process, Mono no Aware, Kunstbezirk Stuttgart, Bienal de la
Imagen en Movimiento, Cámara Lúcida, MAM Rio de Janeiro, Cinemateca
Uruguaya, among others. Inspired by the Haitian folktale of the same title,
his debut-feature “The Owl’s Tale”, won the best film award at VIII
Festival Márgenes (Madrid, Spain) in 2018. Maruyama currently lives in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, where he founded Megalab, an artist-run film lab, and
continues to work in its proximity to nature.

With this series we ask that each presenting artist identify a non-profit
they wish to bring attention to and support through this screening Tetsuya
has selected Movimento de Trabalhadores Sem Teto. The Homeless Workers
Movement (MTST) has been organising workers from the peripheries of large
cities in the struggle for their rights for 22 years, especially the right
to decent housing. During those years, more than 55 thousand families have
already gone through the Movement’s occupations. They are people who could
no longer bear the high burden of rent, lived within risk areas, have been
evicted, or lived in borrowed homes and placed their hopes in MTST.

Peggy Ahwesh & Keith Sanborn
*THE DEADMAN*
1989, 38 min, 16mm-to-DCP. Restored by Anthology Film Archives, Peggy
Ahwesh, and Keith Sanborn.
“Peggy Ahwesh and Keith Sanborn’s free and liberating (as well as
liberated) 1989 adaptation of Georges Bataille’s untranslated story ‘Le
mort’ is one of the most exciting and accomplished experimental films I saw
during the 1990s. It charts the adventures of a nearly naked heroine who
leaves the corpse of her lover in a country house, goes to a bar, and sets
in motion a scabrous free-form orgy before returning to the house to die.
The film manages to approximate the transgressive poetic prose of Bataille
while celebrating female sexual desire without the usual patriarchal-porn
trimmings. Equally remarkable for its endlessly inventive sound track and
its beautiful black-and-white photography, it bears the earmarks of an
authentic classic.” –Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER

“The story is of Marie on her dark and stormy night of the soul. Her quest
for self-mastery and subjecthood leads her through the body to the void.
Riddle: What does a woman want that a dead man has?” –Peggy Ahwesh

“We had somehow to bring together the critical insights of 70s feminism
concerning sexuality as text with the paradoxes of sacred eroticism in
Bataille. We wanted a film history where Dreyer’s VAMPYR, Rainer’s FILM
ABOUT A WOMAN WHO…, Ruiz’s SUSPENDED VOCATION, Severson’s NEAR THE BIG
CHAKRA, and the films of Andy Warhol and Otto Muehl could somehow coexist.
And the project was in some sense quite simple: a film about sexuality with
sex in it. Making it happen of course was not; even after we managed to get
it shot.” –Keith Sanborn

Dave Fleischer
*BIMBO’S INITIATION*
1931, 6 min, 35mm/DCP. Screening on 35mm on Fri-Sun, April 8-10, courtesy
of the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
“Bimbo (a dog) descends through an open manhole cover into an existential
nightmare land.” –ODDBALL FILMS

*GETTING HIS GOAT*
1922, 7 min, 16mm/digital, silent. Screening on 16mm on Fri & Sat, April 8
& 9, courtesy of the Harvard Film Archive.
“In this historical curiosity from the 1920s, a young man looking for a
good time with three bathing beauties gets his comeuppance with the help of
a four-legged friend. This anonymously directed silent stag film offers a
curious blend of slapstick sight gags and erotic spectacle, a genre more
pervasive in early cinema than is generally known.” –HARVARD FILM ARCHIVE

Total running time: ca. 60 min.
Fri-Tues, April 8-12 at 7:30 nightly.

*Family Affairs*
Lynne Sachs brings us* Film About A Father Who*, a feature length
archeological DIG into her own internal movie archive. Over a period of 35
years between 1984 and 2019, filmmaker Sachs shot 8 and 16mm film,
videotape and digital images of her father, Ira Sachs Sr.* Film About A
Father Who *is her attempt to understand the web that connects a child to
her parent and a sister to her siblings. With a nod to the Cubist
renderings of a face, Sachs’ exploration of her father offers simultaneous,
sometimes contradictory, views of one seemingly unknowable man who is
publicly the uninhibited center of the frame yet privately ensconced in
secrets. In the process, she allows herself and her audience inside to see
beyond the surface of the skin, the projected reality. As the facts mount,
Sachs as a daughter discovers more about her father than she had ever hoped
to reveal. A benefit show for Dana Sachs' *Humanity Now

“Peter Kubelka is the perfectionist of the film medium; and, as I honor
that quality above all others at this time finding such a lack of it now
elsewhere, I would simply like to say: Peter Kubelka is the world’s
greatest filmmaker – which is to say, simply: see his films!…by all

He moved to England in the 1920s and subsequently to New York in 1944,
where he spent the last 40 years of his life. A pioneer of ‘scratch’ or
‘direct’ filmmaking, Lye used various tools to mark patterns, shapes, and
images directly onto the film’s surface, and often explored the dynamic
energy of abstract images propelled into life by lively jazz scores or
Pacific-inspired rhythms.

*Margaret Salmon: Gender Studies*
Two US premieres! In-person: Margaret Salmon (in town from Glasgow,
Scotland!)

Filmforum is delighted to host the Glasgow-based filmmaker Margaret Salmon
in her first Los Angeles screening with the US premieres of two of her
latest films! Winner of the inaugural MaxMara Art Prize for Women in 2006,
and working from a strong feminist perspective, Salmon uses celluloid to
film beautiful studies of gender, intimacy, labor, and more. The two we are
screening are recent studies of gender roles and gender performance in work
and play, in contemporary Britain.

*Icarus (after Amelia)*, Margaret Salmon, United Kingdom, 2021, 58 minutes,
Colour, Stereo, 4:3, Original format: 35mm Film
*Boy (winter)*, Margaret Salmon, United Kingdom, 2022, 32 minutes, B&W,
Stereo, 4:3, Original format: 35mm Film

Margaret Salmon (b. 1975, New York) lives and works in Glasgow. Concerned
with a shifting constellation of relations, such as those between camera
and subject, human and animal, or autobiography and ethnography, Margaret
Salmon’s films often examine the gendered, emotive dynamics of social
interactions and representational forms. Solo exhibitions of her work have
been held at institutions including DCA (2018/19), Tramway (2018)
Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (2015); Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, USA
(2011); Witte de With Centre for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam (2007);
Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (2007) and Collective Gallery, Edinburgh
(2006). Her work has been featured in film festivals and major
international survey exhibitions, including the British Art Show 9
(2021/22), Glasgow International (2021), Berlin Biennale (2010) and Venice
Biennale (2007) London Film Festival (2018, 2016, 2014). Salmon won the
inaugural MaxMara Art Prize for Women in 2006, was shortlisted for the
Jarman Award 2018 and the 2019 Margaret Tait Award.

*PUSSY ON A HOT TIN ROOF* (1961, 14 min, 8mm-to-16mm)
“It glows with the embers of desire! It smokes with the revelation of men
and women longing for robust temptations that will make them sizzle into

and old to enjoy.” –George Kuchar

1963, 52 min, 8mm-to-16mm
“*LUST FOR ECSTASY* is my most ambitious attempt since my last film…. I
wrote many of the pungent scenes on the D train, and when I arrived on the
set I ripped them up and let my emotional whims make chopped meat out of
the performances and the story…. Yes, LUST FOR ECSTASY is my subconscious,
my own naked lusts that sweep across the screen in 8mm and color with full
fidelity sound.” –G.K.

Total running time: ca. 85 min.
