*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.

*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.

*Jordan Belson LANDSCAPES*
Jordan Belson: Landscapes features a series of collages made between 1970
and 1973. Exhibited here for the first time, Belson’s collages were created
from torn paper painted in various colors. They were inspired in part by
the 1000-year-old Japanese art of chigiri-e, which uses torn paper to
create images of landscapes and flowers.

Jordan Belson (1926–2011) is a seminal figure in twentieth-century
avant-garde cinema. He studied painting as a young man, receiving a degree
in studio art from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1946. He
initially achieved some success as a painter, exhibiting his work at SFMOMA
and the Guggenheim Museum in the late 1940s. After 1950, however, he
focused primarily on filmmaking, and although he continued to make
paintings and drawings for the remainder of his life, he never publicly
exhibited this part of his work again during his lifetime.

All works are Untitled, c. 1970–73, paper collage and mixed media mounted
on board.

"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

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

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,
Maurice Lemaître, George Maciunas, João César Monteiro, Yoko Ono, Nam June
Paik, Jeff Perkins, Luther Price, Walter Ruttmann, Paul Sharits, Michael
Snow, and many others.

The series begins with several programs in April, but will continue
throughout the summer. In addition, Microscope Gallery will participate by
presenting a number of expanded cinema works or pieces that are specially
designed for a gallery space; for more info visit:

Programmed by Jed Rapfogel & Bradley Eros, in collaboration with John
Klacsmann. Special thanks to Elle Burchill & Andrea Monti (Microscope
Gallery); Keith Sanborn; Jesse Brossoit (CFMDC); Théo Deliyannis (Collectif

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.

*THE DEADMAN*
Anthology premieres our brand-new 4K restoration of Peggy Ahwesh and Keith
Sanborn’s acclaimed underground featurette, THE DEADMAN, a loose adaptation
of Georges Bataille’s text of the same name. Preceded by two classic shorts
selected by the filmmakers, these screenings recreate the February 1990 New
York premiere at Anthology. Special thanks to The Andy Warhol Foundation
for the Visual Arts and Colorlab, as well as to Todd Wiener & Steven Hill
(UCLA Film & Television Archive), and Mark Johnson (Harvard Film Archive).

Peggy Ahwesh & Keith Sanborn will present THE DEADMAN in person on April 8
& 9.

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

Preceded by:
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

*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.

a short documentary series presented by Angela N. Carroll with artists,
Joyce J. Scott & Oletha DeVane

*Exploring Presence: African American Artists in the Upper South*, a
catalog, short documentary series, and exhibition identifies a succinct

at the border of the Mason Dixon line in a region colloquially known as
Up’South or the Upper South. Exploring Presence reviews the projects,
interventions, activations, and constructions that each artist engaged
between 1970 and the contemporary moment. Contributing writers include; Dr.
Leslie King Hammond, Dr. Lowery Stokes Sims, Charles Moore, Dr. Deborah
Britt, Jermaine T. Bell, Martina Dodd, Sarah Stefana Smith, Deyane Moses,
Maleke Glee, Monifa Asante Love, and Teri Henderson.

With a conversation between Angela Carroll, Joyce J. Scott & Oletha DeVanes

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

A giant of experimental animation, Len Lye was born in New Zealand in 1901.
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
maturity with a furnace-blast of unrestrained animalism. A film for young
and old to enjoy.” –George Kuchar

*TOOTSIES IN AUTUMN* (1963, 15 min, 8mm-to-16mm)
A cautionary tale about past-their-prime thespians caught up in a typically
Kucharian vortex of madness.

*LUST FOR ECSTASY: A DRAMA OF OBSESSIONS IN THE LANGUAGE OF SENSATIONALISM*
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.

*EC: GEORGE LANDOW, AKA OWEN LAND*
“The unique contribution of Land’s work lies in the fusion of intellectual
reason and, significantly, the humor that distances it from the supposedly
‘boring’ world of avant-garde film. Having explored the basic properties of
the celluloid strip itself in early works such as *FILM IN WHICH THERE
APPEAR*…, his attention turned to the spectator in a series of ‘literal’
films that question the illusionary nature of cinema through the use of
word play and visual ambiguity. His work often parodies experimental film
itself by mimicking his contemporaries and mocking the solemn approach of
film theorists and scholars.” –Mark Webber, TWO FILMS BY OWEN LAND

*Maurice Lemaitre, Films Imaginaires*
Microscope kicks off its series of “imageless” performances in connection
and collaboration with the current series “Imageless Films” at Anthology
Film Archives with “Films Imaginaires,” a rare evening of 16mm films and
performances by the French artist Maurice Lemaître (1926 – 2018). These
works that are based on his pivotal interest in the activation of the
audience and more akin to sets of instructions than to actual films not
only require the viewers’ participation but also ask audience members to be
involved in the creative process and imagine the films themselves.

The program includes the projection of two collections of such imaginary
films and film concepts that Lemaître turned into inter-titles for 16mm
film projection, *Films Imaginaires (Imaginary Films)* from 1985 and *6
films infinitésimaux et supertemporels (6 infinitesimal and super-temporal
films)* assembled in 1975 and including the works: *Moteur!* (1967), *Le
film de demain* (1967), *Votre Film* (1969), *Un film à faire* (1970), *Un
programme d’avant-garde* (1970), and* Qu’attendez-vous? Un Film?* (1975).

The screening is preceded by restagings of a few of the performances
described in the films — including a raffle with special prizes and
quizzes! — following the artist’s instructions to the best of the gallery’s
abilities, while attempting to stay true to their original spirit.

*I AM HERE: HOME MOVIES AND EVERYDAY MASTERPIECES*
>From the earliest cave paintings to TikTok, humans have found creative ways
to document their day-to-day lives. *I AM HERE: Home Movies and Everyday
Masterpieces*, a major new AGO exhibition opening in April of 2022, is a
revealing look at our universal need to capture, share and cherish the
everyday. Featuring lost-and-found home movies from the Prelinger Archives,
alongside celebrated artworks by the likes of David Hockney, Patti Smith,
Claes Oldenburg, Annie Pootoogook, Arthur Jafa and Mary Pratt, as well as
snapshots, photo albums, letters, television, grocery lists, and social
media, *I AM HERE* brings together a broad range of personal records from
different time periods and locales to explore the shared human impulse to
document life as it happens.

Co-curated by Jim Shedden, the AGO’s Manager of Publishing, and Alexa
Greist, AGO Associate Curator and R. Fraser Elliott Chair, Prints &
Drawings, in collaboration with archivist, scholar and writer Rick
Prelinger, the exhibition is a celebration of daily life and human
creativity, replete with music and creative prompts. Among the artworks on
display will be a digital collage of the more than 3000 submissions
received from around the world as part of the AGO’s 2021 Portraits of
Resilience exhibition. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue
co-published by the AGO and DelMonico Books/D.A.P

*The Case of the Vanishing Gods*
In-person: Q&A with director Ross Lipman, puppeteer Audrey Densmore, actors
David Isaacson and Jeff Dorchen, and artist / puppet maker Julia Zanes.
Moderated by Rodney Ascher. Plus, live ventriloquism and puppet
performances by Karl Herlinger, Audrey Densmore, Eli Presser, Michael
Serwich and Jeff Speetjens. Co-presented by Los Angeles Filmforum.

A fable out of time told with puppets and film clips, *The Case of the
Vanishing Gods* is a new kind of hybrid: half dream / half document. Our
hero is a tortured ventriloquist’s dummy named Hugo who’s lost his memory.
Under hypnosis his lost memories are recovered, and relate a cultural
history of ventriloquism from the prophetic tradition to the modern horror
film. Join Hugo on this strange journey into the hidden lives of puppets,
and into the collective unconscious that links them to our own lives.

Written, Photographed, Directed and Edited by Ross Lipman

*50 YEARS OF COLLECTIF JEUNE CINÉMA – WHERE IS OUR BODY?*
“Founded in Paris in 1971, Collectif Jeune Cinéma (CJC) is a French
filmmakers cooperative dedicated to the distribution, promotion, and
exhibition of experimental and independent cinema. The CJC was influenced
by the example of the Film-Makers’ Cooperative in New York (which had been
founded in 1961), and was the first Coop of this kind in France. Like any
collective that lasts for so many years, CJC has managed to change and
adapt to new situations, while always keeping in mind that experimentation
is not a genre or a style, but rather a spirit of freedom, an openness to
singular forms of expression, by amateurs and recognized artists alike,
from countries big or small, and from filmmakers young or old.

Apart from distributing experimental and independent cinema, CJC has always
organized screenings, mostly in Paris, and more prominently a festival,
known as ‘Festival des cinémas différents et expérimentaux de Paris’,
created in 1998.

In addition to the contemporary films added to our catalog through the
Festival, the CJC’s collection includes several historical films of French
experimental cinema, many of them still under-recognized and rarely shown
since the 1980s (such as, in this program, CYGNE 1 by the artist Absis).

The films selected for this screening at Anthology demonstrate the
aesthetic, geographical, and temporal diversity of our catalog. Of course,
from the 1,700 titles we hold in our archive, we decided to focus on
lesser-known films, mostly made by non-canonical filmmakers, with the
possible exception of Marguerite Duras, who was one of the few renowned
filmmakers (and writers) to support Collectif Jeune Cinéma from the start.

The program also reflects an informal theme revolving around a focus on the
human body in experimental cinema. This theme has always been,
unconsciously, a favored one at the CJC, illustrated in particular through
the notion of the École du Corps, a group of artists identified and written
about by Dominique Noguez in the late 1970s in France, and whose influence
is still apparent today.” –Théo Deliyannis & Judit Naranjo Ribó, COLLECTIF

*JORDAN BELSON: AN EVENING OF FILM, AUDIO, AND VISUAL RARITIES*
Jordan Belson (1926-2011) was a seminal figure in 20th-century avant-garde
cinema. He studied painting as a young man, receiving a degree in studio
art from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1946. He initially
achieved some success as a painter, exhibiting his work at SFMoMA (then the
San Francisco Museum of Art) and the Guggenheim Museum (at the time, the
Museum of Non-Objective Art) in the late 1940s. After 1950, however, he
focused primarily on filmmaking, and although he continued to make
paintings and drawings for the remainder of his life, he never exhibited
this part of his work again publicly during his lifetime. Belson’s first
one-person New York City exhibition would occur only posthumously, at
Matthew Marks Gallery in 2019. This spring, Matthew Marks presents a second
exhibition devoted to Belson’s work, an occasion we will celebrate here at
Anthology with an evening of audio and visual rarities.

On view from March 10-April 23 at Matthew Marks Gallery (526 West 22nd
Street), the new exhibition showcases a group of artworks made by Belson
between 1970-73, displayed for the first time. These are untitled landscape
collages, created from torn paper painted in various colors, inspired in
part by the 1,000-year-old Japanese art of chirigi-e. Many of these works
were inspired by the gentle mountainous landscapes the artist viewed daily
from his window overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Others, evoking distant
planetary landscapes, appeared as backgrounds in later films such as
*INFINITY* (1979) and *APOLLO* (1982), both of which will be shown at this
screening, along with the even more rarely-screened *PISCES/BLUES* (1980).
In addition, we will be projecting 16mm prints of *COSMOS* (1970),
*MEDITATION* (1971), and *CHAKRA *(1972). Curator Raymond Foye will also
present examples of Belson’s visual art, unseen images from Belson’s
extensive archives, and a selection of recently restored audio tape
compositions by Belson.

The program will include:
*COSMOS* (1969, 5 min, 16mm)
*MEDITATION* (1971, 7 min, 16mm)
*CHAKRA *(1972, 6 min, 16mm)
*INFINITY *(1979, 8 min, 16mm-to-digital)
*BLUES* (1980, 9 min, 16mm-to-digital)
*APOLLO* (1982, 10 min, 16mm-to-digital)

McLAUGHLIN + BLOOMBERG + SNIDER +
The SF Earthquake and Firestorm of 1906 was one of the first natural
disasters to create a true media frenzy. On the (almost) anniversary of
the '06 Quake, we are *spectacularly* pleased to have back the literally
eye-popping 3-D projections of the Bay Area's own Pad McLaughlin, this time
with fellow stereo superstar Bob Bloomberg!! These two masters offer a full
40 amazing minutes of the '06 and '89 temblors, true history lessons as
well as delirious visual thrills. Our second half releases a riot
of 3-D formats, from a half-dozen artistes: Bernal Heights
media-queen Greta Snider shares her *Unfinished Business from Ancestors*,
unsettled ghost visions made from phytograms and found footage, while Hy
Hirsch provides a post-mortem peek at *Come Closer.* PLUS OC faves John
Warren, Rich Pell, Pete Smith, and even the Three Stooges. Come early for
the free wine and anaglyph visit to a Viewmaster factory!

*ALLEN DOWNS: CHASING LIGHT FROM MINNESOTA TO MEXICO*
Far from the burgeoning underground film scenes in NYC and San Francisco,
Allen Downs started making films in the 1950s in Minnesota. Inspired by the
documentary photographers before him, and graced with a painterly eye,
Downs made films in the spirit of a poet chasing light. In perhaps the
greatest of his early films, THE COLOR OF THE DAY (1954-56), Downs
documented the urban landscape with patient walks through St. Paul and the
West Bank of Minneapolis, capturing reflections and moments of the summer’s
day.

Allen Downs earned an MA degree in painting and printmaking from the State
University of Iowa in 1940. He became an accomplished photographer and
filmmaker and was a professor of photography and film at the University of
Minnesota from 1950 through 1977. In 1952 he started the UMN film program,
which continues to this day. Much of what is known about Allen Downs today
stems from his legacy as a teacher. No less an experimental film luminary
than Bruce Baillie once claimed, “Allen Downs taught me everything I know
about filmmaking.”

In the early 1970s Downs helped create an experiential learning
program through the University of Minnesota that sent students to Tlaxiaco,
Mexico, to learn about the traditions of pottery, weaving, and
blacksmithing from the local Mixtec residents. Students would also learn
about painting, photography, and filmmaking from Downs and guest faculty
from Minnesota. As a result, many of Downs’s later films are about life in
Mexico, where he moved after retiring from teaching in 1977. He passed away
in Oaxaca City on November 6, 1983, at the age of 68. By the early 2000s,
unaware of their value, the University had slated his reels for the
dumpster. Thankfully, Matthew Bakkom and Adam Sekuler of Search and Rescue
saved his films and eventually donated them to the Ruben/Bentson Moving
Image Collection at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN.

This program consists of 16mm prints from the Walker’s RBMIC Collection;
both screenings will be presented by Michael Walsh, Assistant
Curator/Archivist of the Walker’s Moving Image department.

*THE COLOR OF THE DAY* (1954-56, 17 min, 16mm)
*LOVE SHOTS* (1971, 8 min, 16mm)
*WINTER IN CHINA* (1970, 8 min, 16mm)
*A MEXICO* (1973, 7 min, 16mm)

Total running time: ca. 85 min.

The program is supported by the Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection at
the Walker Art Center. Major support to preserve, digitize, and present the
Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection is generously provided by the Bentson
Foundation.
