*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.

National Gallery of Art, Konstitucijos pr.22, Vilnius, Lithuania
*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.

*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.

*The Autobiographical Animal*
An online exhibition comprising four works considering hypotheses of
post-human narrative via moving image. Animals do not produce autobiography
in any sense we can even begin to comprehend, so the human imagination
steps in to create it. The artists in this exhibition approach an often
frustrated desire for interspecies communication and equity in surprising
and open-ended ways, employing the POV of the protagonists while avoiding
the coercion and sentimentality of anthropomorphism—deprivileging their own
status in favour of the other. Occurring on built sets and Saskatchewan
prairies, in virtual environments and appropriated cinematic landscapes,
these films allow for the failure of connection as well as success,
accepting delusions of wildness and power, limitations of human empathy and
vast possibilities of the sensory and perceptual surrounding what we know
about animal consciousness.

*visualiste! *Raving genius Ryan Worsley's lovely and lively documentation
of Negativland's late '21 tour not only renews hope in an expanded
music/expanded cinema aesthetic, but it also happens to be damn fun, doncha
know? The sublime sonic architecture generated by the Contra Costa audio
crew is here married to the ecstatic opticals
of VJ extraordinaire Sue-C!..and the whole perceptual overload has been
marvelously consolidated into an hour of sensory delight by our
Ms. Worsley. In fact we'll open with five of her magnificent music-vid
collabs with the band: *More Data, Don't Don't Get Freaked, This is Not
Normal, Destroying Anything, and Anything Else?*. PLUS pick hits from their

*Terra Femme*
Dir. Courtney Stephens. United States. 2021, approx 60 mins. Live
performance with digital projection. With the emergence of cinema came the
nascent phenomenon of amateur movies, which also coincided with the
relative accessibility of international travel for the wealthier leisure
class—a small subset of whom were women. Courtney Stephens’s Terra Femme is
comprised of archival footage from the first half of the 20th century, all
shot by women in locations far from home. An essay film, a memoir, a
post-colonial reckoning, Terra Femme is a work of live cinema that takes
the form of a narrated travelogue, with Stephens taking the viewer on a
deep dive into errant cinematic scrapbooks, seeking out the stories behind
the images, and wondering after the women who captured and witnessed them.
Please note: This screening was rescheduled from December 19.

In Odessa Correctional Facility Number 74 [in Ukraine], children born in
the prison may remain in the care of their incarcerated mothers—but only
until the age of three. In making this docudrama (Slovakia’s 2021 Academy
Award submission), director Peter Kerekes spent several years within the
unusual matriarchy of a prison populated by female inmates, wardens, and
children.

advance at
https://dice.fm/event/5qbp8-screening-space-exploration-with-johann-lurf-27th-feb-2220-arts-archives-los-angeles-tickets
Vienna-based artist Johann Lurf is fascinated by image production and
exhibition technologies, and his filmmaking practice is a diverse and
thrillingly engaging demonstration of those passions. Across his eclectic
body of truly inventive films, he employs an acute awareness of the
possibilities for magic and revelation to be found in the interplay of real
and filmic space. The elemental qualities of the moving image are activated
via his conceptual and technical artistry and the medium itself always
plays an active role. The result is an expanded adventure of cinema that
involves the viewer in a thoughtful exploration of perspective and time.
This program will span a variety of short films, diverse in their themes,
materials, and execution, but all representing the poetry, discipline,
humor, and excitement that one can expect from any work by Johann Lurf.
Found footage is radically re-presented to release its formal energies,
artful and revelatory surveillance is made of eerie and sinister
landscapes, and the elemental properties of cinema itself are thrown into
powerful, surprising relief through Lurf’s articulate and inspired filmic
alchemy.

*Cinema Parenthèse #33: Jerome Hiler*
The films of HILER blend a beauteous celebration of the sensual world with
a deep sense of introspection and solitude. They are occasions for
reflection and meditation, on light, landscape, time and the motions of
consciousness. Hiler's encounter with the films of Nathaniel Dorsky, Marie
Menken, Gregory Markopoulos and Stan Brakhage deeply affected his own
artistic path.
For example, "In the Stone House" Hiler compiles physically fragile and
intensely poignant footage shot during the same period chronicled in
Nathaniel Dorsky's "Hours for Jerome" (1966-1970). Hiler and Dorsky lived
together in rural New Jersey in the late '60s, and their films draw from
the same well of intimate experience and acute retrospection. But how rare
it is to see such a highly refined syntax multiplied across sensibilities
in this way! Brought together 40 years after its inception and 20 years
after "Hours for Jerome", "In the Stone House" draws out moments of lost
time like pressed flowers from a book. Lacing through the fleeting visions
of passing days are several more elaborate rituals: preparations made to
film an eclipse.
For most of his life, Hiler only screened his work among his circle of
friends. However, from 1995 on, his work has been seen more publicly.
These films are available only as 16mm copies, so this is a great
opportunity to watch them.

*Film Talks Live: Jayne Parker and Simon Payne*
Film Talks Live is a series of events related to the book Film Talks: 15
Conversations on Experimental Cinema, recently published by Contact. This
event at Cafe Oto is a screening of films by Jayne Parker and Simon Payne
alongside a series of piano sonatas by the English composer John White
performed by Tim Parkinson. In Film Talks Parker and Payne discuss filmic
scores and structures alongside a mutual interest in experimental music.
Parker’s films have often involved documenting musicians’ performances and
an exploration of associations between film form and musical ideas. Payne’s
digital videos often centre on bold graphic abstraction, elusive motion
effects and illusions of depth. Tim Parkinson has chosen music that chimes
with ideas that he sees in the films, extending a conversation between
artists and art forms.
