*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.

"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

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.

*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

*Barbara Hammer’s My Babushka: Searching Ukrainian Identities*
Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and the Estate of Barbara Hammer have made
Hammer’s 2001 personal documentary My Babushka: Searching Ukrainian
Identities available to view through May 30th. As the artist writes, this
timely video “centers on the questions of civil liberties and cultural
differences in a society beginning to open as one woman searches for her
own ethnic roots, identity and family history in Ukraine.”

*My Babushka: Searching for Ukranian Identities*
2001, 53:16 min, color, sound

“The current news is full of Ukraine and the Ukrainians who claim it as
home. However, many people in the world admit they know little of either.
The video, made in 2001, provides a glimpse into the people who were
struggling at that time for identity in a divided and economically
depressed country.

Following her natural curiosity and love of adventure, Hammer went to
Ukraine in 2000 to trace her roots and find family members. As with most of
her work, Hammer wanted to uncover hidden histories, so she sought out
information about anti-Semitism and homophobia among Ukrainians. Hammer
discovered that old political, societal and cultural barriers were
collapsing but without new ways to replace them. Fast forward to 2022 and
we see ruin, death, renewed poverty, and destruction, but we also see
strong people fighting for their country and their future. There will be
many more questions for others to research and art to be made, but we felt
it important to show this film now.”

Louky Keijsers Koning, Director, Estate of Barbara Hammer

*Ieva Balode. Loop of Fear. Solo Show*
Loop of Fear turns to the subject of fear in society, which is particularly
relevant today, after two years of the pandemic and the current horrors of
the war in Ukraine. Fear has always existed in a variety of gradations and
forms: fear of the unknown, fear of the dark, fear of the enemy, fear of
death. Since the beginnings of mankind fear has been both a driving force
for humanity and a stumbling block. It is an instinctive force that has
made humanity form communities for safety and shelter from the danger that
is lurking in darkness. The fear of death has compelled civilisations to
build temples and for people to dedicate their lives to preparing society
for the afterlife.

Likewise, the medium of analogue photography and analogue cinema, which
Ieva Balode uses in this exhibition, embodies this same fear – the fear to
lose and forget what once took place or was alive. It is the propensity to
make the world immortal, the propensity to freeze time in a capsule for
eternity, which, through the lens of the camera, leaves an instant's
impression on the light-sensitive surface of the film. Here light serves as
a record on the surface of a film, which, by dispelling darkness in the
body of the camera, captures what is in front of it through the glass of
the lens, similar to the human eye.

The exhibition presents 16 mm film loops and spatial image projections.
Their mechanical nature interacts with the architecture of the space to
create a slight sense of alarm, reminding us of the fragility and mortality
of the material world. The exposition gives visitors the opportunity to
become familiar with the photochemical film stock as a kinetic object
which, together with several other analogue projectors, illuminate the
museum's gallery in a different light.

About the artist

aCinema is heading into a dormant summer period as we prepare our next
season of programming, which we hope will be back inside the cozy confines
of Woodland Pattern for in-person events. Until then, we send love to all
around the world, and we wish for peace and good health over the summer
months!

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.

*IMAGELESS FILMS, PART 2*
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.

This ongoing series represents 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 began in April, and continues in May with films by
Coleen Fitzgibbon, Margaret Honda, Takahiko Iimura, Andrew Lampert,
Charmaine Lee, Maurice Lemaître, George Maciunas, João César Monteiro,
Luther Price, and many others. Further programs will take place in June,
including a very rare presentation of Louise Lawler’s *A MOVIE WILL BE
SHOWN WITHOUT THE PICTURE* (1979), works by Morgan Fisher, Hollis Frampton,
and Malcolm Le Grice, projector performances, and more.

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: https://microscopegallery.com/

*TWO GIRLS by James Fotopoulos*
SPECIAL SCREENING – FILMMAKER IN PERSON!

James Fotopoulos has graced Anthology with his presence numerous times over
the years, both in the context of the Underground Film Festival (which took
place at Anthology throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s) and as part
of our regular programming. Among the most prolific and protean of
independent filmmakers, Fotopoulos made a name for himself with unsettling,
dreamlike midnight movies such as *MIGRATING FORMS* (1999), *BACK AGAINST
THE WALL* (2000), and *THE NEST* (2003), among many, many others. But his
body of work is as varied and category-busting as they come, encompassing
underground narrative films, experimental video works, short films of every
size and shape, genre movies, theatrical adaptations, and everything
in-between.

We’re thrilled to welcome Fotopoulos back to present the first U.S.
screening (only the second screening anywhere) of his 2018 feature film, *TWO
GIRLS*, which tells the story of young sisters in the American Midwest who
are left alone with their increasingly unstable mother while their father
is fighting in the Civil War. The film traces the girls’ naturally fraught
sibling dynamic and the ways that their father’s absence ignites their
imagination. When they meet a stranger in the forest, they become enchanted
by a world of creative work and nature, a welcome distraction from their
volatile mother. Play and the dreamlike space they inhabit provides an
expansive and ultimately grounding setting for the girls’ response to war.

*ARCHIVE FEVER*
JAIMIE BARON's FEST OF (IN)APPROPRIATION +
On Sat. May 7, ATA Gallery's Other Cinema proudly presents the SF premiere
of Jaimie Baron's *Festival of (In)appropriation*!! In its 11th year, this
amazing program of re-mixed film and video (and now social media!) boasts
an awesome program of creative/critical works that draw from myriad footage
sources, re-organized and re-energized in ingenious ways to conjure up new
meanings on top of the old. Local light Scott Stark will be in the house
along with Jaimie, introducing his *Fly*, on the the same bill
as SFSU grad Kristy Guevara-Flanagan's *What Happened to Her*,
and Oakland's Phoebe Tooke's *derivation of the mean lifetime. *PLUS:
OC faves Peter
Lichter/Bori Máté's *8th October 2016* on Hungarian censorship, Akosua
Adoma Owusu's *Intermittent Delight*, and Clint Enns/Darryl Nepinak *I for
NDN* with some more of their heady media hi-jinxs...among several other
gems. Jaimie will not only be introducing this hour-plus roster, but also
launching her second book, *Reuse, Misuse, Abuse*, with signed copies
available. AND: In fact this extraordinary evening will also see the
official West Coast release of another book/DVD of supreme interest
to Archive Fever fans--César Ustarroz' *Found Footage & Collage Films*!!
Following years of regular journal publishing, this two-fer is a
true publication landmark for the Spanish editorial collective,
anthologizing many contemporary artists and critics and affording a
magnificent digital-video program of its own. Of their 16 titles, OC will
be screening at least 4 in the first part of the show: works by Bill
Morrison, Eve Heller, Steven Woloshen, and Jeff Keen. This opening section
also includes Stephen Broomer's *Borrowed Dreams*, on Joseph Cornell's
found footage oeuvre.

*ROBERT HALLER (1942-2021)*
Anthology lost one of its most important, devoted, and well-loved staff
members last year, with the passing of Robert Haller (1942-2021). Robert
was a fixture at Anthology since 1980, when he first arrived in New York
for a four-year stint as Anthology’s Executive Director. He departed
temporarily in 1984, but returned in 1990, serving again as Director for
several years, before becoming responsible for Anthology’s Library. He
assumed an Emeritus position more recently, but was still coming into
Anthology on a weekly basis up until the onset of the pandemic. With 35
years at Anthology all told, only AFA’s founder Jonas Mekas could claim
seniority over Haller!

Robert was born in Pittsburgh in 1942, and was instrumental, alongside the
Carnegie Museum of Art’s Sally Dixon, in forming and nurturing that city’s
experimental film culture as well. He was the founding Executive Director
of Pittsburgh Film-Makers from 1973-79, and later published a book
chronicling those years, *“Crossroads: Avant-Garde Film in Pittsburgh in
the 1970s”* (2005). He was also the Publisher/Editor, from 1977-85, of the
film journal, *“Field of Vision”*. The same year Robert came to New York,
he married filmmaker and cine-dance pioneer Amy Greenfield. The two worked
closely together, and remained an inseparable couple until the very end.

At Anthology, Robert preserved numerous films, published several books
(*“Intersecting
Images: The Cinema of Ed Emshwiller”*; *“Fritz Lang 2000”*; *“Galaxy:
Avant-Garde Film-makers Look Across Space and Time”*; several volumes
devoted to filmmaker Jim Davis; and *“Crossroads”*; among others), and
organized many important film programs. He was also an extraordinary
photographer, producing both fine art images and a wealth of crucially
important photographs documenting avant-garde film culture throughout the
second half of the 20th century. His images of screenings and gatherings in
Pittsburgh, New York, and elsewhere in the 1970s and beyond, and his
portraits of filmmakers and scholars, are an indispensable record of the
community.

Robert was a totally singular, profoundly good-natured, and invariably
entertaining presence – a true eccentric, in the best possible sense. His
mind worked in mysterious ways, but there was no mistaking his infectious
sense of enthusiasm and seemingly inexhaustible store of knowledge. Coming
just two years after the death of Jonas Mekas, Haller’s death represented
the eclipse of another invaluable witness to 20th century film culture. But
generations of Anthology community members have and will continue to
remember him with immense fondness.

We were unable to present an in-person, public tribute to Robert at the
time of his death, thanks to the pandemic, but we’re pleased to do so at
long last this spring. This program aims to celebrate Haller’s many
accomplishments, by screening some of the films he made himself, produced
on behalf of others, or made appearances in; as well as showcasing some of
the films and filmmakers he especially valued and helped to promote.

*YES: Alex Burholt / Doménica García*
New edition of Microscope's emerging artist series YES with works by New
York-based artists Alex Burholt and Doménica García. The event will take
place both in person at the gallery and online. The Q&A with the artists
that follows the screening will also be live-streamed for the online
audience, who may participate through live chat.

The program features eleven works in film and video by the artists
completed between 2017 and 2022. While García’s work is more focused on
performance, identity and cultural stereotypes approached through a
surrealist but fresh filmmaking vision, Burholt’s centers around
experiences of gender nonconformity expressed mostly though compelling
stop-motion animations in an array of formats. Their lines of inquiry at
times intersect in the use of cross-dressing, the interest in music videos
as well as socio-political themes.

*FILM-MAKERS' CINEMATHEQUE: NATHANIEL DORSKY + MICHAEL MIDEKE*
May 13, 1969: NATHANIEL DORSKY
This program, in May 1969, showcased the first three films by Nathaniel
Dorsky. In the wake of these three early works, Dorsky would continue to
film and share his work privately throughout the 1960s and 70s, but would
not release or present work publicly again for more than a decade (when he
inaugurated a new phase of his career with *HOURS FOR JEROME*, completed in
1982 but comprising material shot between 1966-70).

*INGREEN* (1964, 12 min, 16mm)
“The first of three films depicting the emergence from adolescence. INGREEN
is a reflecting pool of the underwater involvement of a mother-father-son
relationship.” –Nathaniel Dorsky

“… made of beautiful greens … glimpses of figures of images that are
recognizable … the esthetic experience is created by the flow and play of
superimpositions.” –Jonas Mekas

*A FALL TRIP HOME* (1964, 11 min, 16mm)
“A sister film to INGREEN. Less intense, embodying a more objective view of
the sexual tensions of adolescence resolved by recognition of present
realities.” –FILM-MAKERS’ CINEMATHEQUE notes (1965)

“Forgetting its ‘psychological plot’ this film is a fine exponent of the
intrinsic magical power of cinema. Its images, which evolve in a rather
unmagical sober suburb, are continually transcended and manipulated into a
kind of epic haiku of superimpositions and textural weavings.” –Jerome
Hiler (1964)

*SUMMERWIND* (1965, 14 min, 16mm)
“Dorsky’s latest and best work in his steady growth from INGREEN and then
FALL TRIP; growth solidly rooted in home soil. Dorsky is a poet of what he
knows – a rare enough humility and honesty – and he registers those things
he knows with sensual accuracy and increasing formal definition.”
–FILM-MAKERS’ CINEMATHEQUE notes (1966)

October 13, 1970: MICHAEL MIDEKE
“I first met Michael Mideke when I was eighteen years old at Antioch
College in Ohio. We both shared a passion for film and shared with others
the 16mm camera owned by the school’s cine club. There were no instructors,
only our unstoppable and insatiable pursuit of filmmaking. Michael was far
more advanced as a filmmaker than myself with interests deeply rooted
within the traditions of the American avant garde. We spent a number of
months together in New York City, and as nineteen and twenty year olds
lived in communal, film-strewn lofts, shooting rolls of outdated stock and
attending experimental film shows. I learned immeasurable things from his
film work and his poetic purity. He is part of who I am.” –Nathaniel Dorsky

“I have come to make films where what happens is of secondary importance,
where I am not telling stories but weaving together moods, touching on
flavours of experience. My films are things to be seen and felt with some
detachment as you might listen to a piece of music or observe the play of
light and shadow outside your window. […] The structures of my films are
full of repetitions and near-repetitions, frustrating the mind’s almost
automatic response to construct a sense of narrative sequence, to attach
personally held values and expectations. It seems to me when these films
are working and the viewer is receptive, he is tasting something of what
the Buddhists call Bare Attention.” –Michael Mideke

*FLIGHT OF SHADOWS* (1973, 9 min, 16mm, silent)
*TWIG *(1966, 4 min, 16mm, silent)
*SHADOWGAME* (1964, 9 min, 16mm, silent)

Total running time: ca. 65 min.

*SAUGUS SERIES*, Pat O’Neill (1974, 19 min, 16mm) New print!
seven short films, one-and-a-half to six minutes long, united by a common
soundtrack. Each is an evolving “still life” made up of meticulously
assembled but spatially contradictory elements.

*RHYTHMUS 21*, Hans Richter (1921, 3 min, 35mm, b&w, silent)
“Its content is essentially rhythm, the formal vocabulary is elemental
geometry, and the structural principle is counterpoint of contrasting
opposites.” –Standish Lawder

*TWO PENNY MAGIC / ZWEIGROSCHENZAUBER*, Hans Richter (1929, 2 min, 16mm,
b&w)
Produced as a commercial for a German illustrated magazine, this film is an
experiment with visual rhymes.

*EVERYTHING REVOLVES, EVERYTHING TURNS / ALLES DREHT SICH, ALLES BEWEGT
SICH*, Hans Richter (1929, 9 min, 16mm, b&w)
“Richter’s unique and fascinating view of magic and cruelty in a carnival
side-show.” –Cecile Starr

(1968, 36 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from
the National Film Preservation Foundation.)
“Based in part on the Tibetan Mandala of the Five Dhyani Buddhas/a journey
toward the center of pure consciousness (Dharma-Dhatu Wisdom)/space and
motion generated rather than illustrated/time-color energy create virtual
shape/in negative time, growth is inverse decay.” –Paul Sharits

*T,O,U,C,H,I,N,G*, Paul Sharits (1969, 12 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology
Film Archives.)

Parallel to the exhibition how we are in time and space: Nancy Buchanan,
Marcia Hafif, Barbara T. Smith, at Armory Center for the Arts, a number of
artists and arts organizations have been invited to respond to one or more
specific works in this exhibition, resulting in new art works,
performances, screenings, talks, and other events. This program will favor
annotation over remaking of historic works, initiating a dialogue with the
primary exhibition, its artists, and its rich materiality, expanding these
connections outward in time and space. Events will take place at various
sites over the course of the exhibition. All programs are free and open to
the public.
