*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.

*REFRESH: *CYANOBACTERIA OFFER PERSPECTIVE ON OURSELVES
This art-science collaboration looks at the microscopic ways cyanobacteria
move, on an individual level and in colonies. If we study these organisms
and their varied forms, we might discover ways to improve our future.
On display at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in the Summit Stage and
Expedition Health, March 2022 - Fall 2022
The cells in your body take in oxygen and sweep out waste products like
carbon dioxide (CO2). Microscopic cyanobacteria use photosynthesis to work
in reverse, breathing in CO2 and pumping out oxygen.
Three billion years ago, cyanobacteria created Earth’s oxygenfilled
atmosphere, supporting the evolution of creatures like us. Today, they
provide one-quarter of the planet’s oxygen, and cyanobacteria like
spirulina provide us with food.
Researchers believe that cyanobacteria —which need only sunlight, CO2, and
water to thrive— could offer solutions to our changing climate. They might
help reduce CO2 on a grand scale, contribute to biofuel production, and
support long-term space travel. This diverse group of organisms offers a
symbolic warning as well: when colonies of cyanobacteria become too dense
or stressed, they can run out of nutrients or be destroyed by their own air
pollution.
Made with the collaborative efforts of filmmaker Erin Espelie and the
Jeffrey Cameron Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder, which
created a customized microscope system specifically tailored for long-term
growth and quantitative imaging of cyanobacterial cells; with special
thanks to microbiologist and cinematographer Evan Johnson and artists Nima
Bahrehmand, Travis Austin, Will Alstetter, as well as NEST Studio for the
Arts.

*VISIONS: HÁ TERRA! by Ana Vaz*
As part of its new online cinema series, VISIONS presents *HÁ TERRA!* by
Ana Vaz with a text by Ralitsa Doncheva | 2016 | 16mm to digital | 12 mins
37 secs
In *Poetics of Cinema*, Raul Ruiz writes that “films are like human beings,
you look at them and they look back at you”. I think about this idea while
watching *HÁ TERRA!* imagining the film’s body as a wild animal that preys
on me as much as I glimpse at it. Does it sense my shame, my fear?
I experience *HÁ TERRA!* as a choreography of gestures and gazes that hits
like a rock. A bodily cinema where the eye blurs into the ear, ending in
the shape of a mouth. Where one gazes at an animal, animal-like, and
listens to the stories vibrating in the landscape while touching it.
Where am I in this dream? Perhaps under the hand, hiding. Without a sense
of self, levitating. Like a piece of clothing, floating at sea. There is no
understanding without feeling, no justice without poetry. There is no
encounter without a loss. No moving forward without paddling back to a
fractured past that, like the swollen foot of the girl in the film, changes
with the moon’s phases. Before language, before language. Back to the land.

*NO-THANKS GIVING*
PECK'S *EXTERMINATE ALL THE BRUTES* + NATIVE VOICES
Our yearly No-Thanks Giving program in this case is anchored on the
must-see *Exterminate All the Brutes* project of Haitian auteur Raoul Peck.
The internationally acclaimed firebrand is a prolific maker (*The Young
Karl Marx*, *Lumumba: Death of a Prophet*, *I Am Not Your Negro*) who has
masterminded this recent round of radical histories about settler
colonialism and slavery in the Americas, and his frank, even shocking
docu-drama looks at the arrival of the Europeans from the Native POV.
Hosting the program is guest MC Luis Booth (Passamaquoddy) who shares his
own *Any Face, Whatever Body*, as well as introducing an eclectic set of
opening shorts on Indigenous issues: Crazyboy/Ybarra’s hilarious *Peace
Pipeline*, Vice’s *What Really Happened at Standing Rock*, and Melting
Barricades*’ *triptych of stories from their utterly unique
perspective--the intuits of Greenland!

*OUR TRIP TO AFRICA / UNSERE AFRIKAREISE* (1966, 12 min, 16mm)
“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
means/above all else…etcetera.” –Stan Brakhage
Len Lye
*TUSALAVA* (1929, 10 min, 16mm, silent)
*RHYTHM* (1957, 1 min, 16mm)
*FREE RADICALS* (1958/79, 4 min, 16mm)
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.
Total running time: ca. 60 min.

All films in this program have been preserved by Anthology Film Archives
with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation.
*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.
*A TOWN CALLED TEMPEST* 1963, 33 min, 8mm-to-16mm
Rarely has the cinema equaled such a spectacle! Seldom have movies probed

Q-and-A the artist follows, over Zoom.
Janelle VanderKelen is an artist, curator, and educator based in Milwaukee,
WI. Her films and intermedia installations imagine alternative acts of
relation between imperfect bodies (human, vegetal, geological, or
otherwise) and make the agency of plants visible through experimental

*DEPRIVATION* / 16MM FILM WITH OPTICAL SOUND - CAITY ARTHUR (BROOKLYN, NY,
US) & CHANDLER ARTHUR (BROOKLYN, NY, US) Just a year after losing their
partner, Chuck is still battling nightmares and paranoia, leading them to
believe that what appears in the shadows is all in their mind. They quite
quickly find themself unable to explain the unusual hauntings and surreal
visions that seem to keep intervening. Are these delusions of sleep
paralysis a product of repressed grief, or are they actually real? Centered
on the repercussions of trauma, *Deprivation* asks what limitations there
are when it comes to blurring reality from personal fear. Free, All Ages &

presents *ROCK
BOTTOM RISER* by Fern Silva, on 35mm with artist in attendance
*ROCK BOTTOM RISER* | 2021 | 35 mm | 70 mins
>From the earliest voyagers who navigated by starlight, to present-day
astronomers scanning the cosmos for habitable planets, explorers have long
made Hawaii the hub for their searching. Today—as lava continues to flow on
the island—another crisis mounts as scientists plan to build the world’s
largest telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s most sacred and revered mountain.
In his dynamic feature debut, Fern Silva examines myriad encounters with an
island world at sea. Drawing from subjects as seemingly disparate as the
arrival of Christian missionaries and the controversial casting of Dwayne
Johnson as King Kamehameha, the film weaves a vital tapestry of
post-colonialism and pop culture with cinematic brio and a wry wit. *Rock
Bottom Riser* is an essential document and an exhilarating tour-de-force, a
palimpsest that traverses geology, ethnography and astronomy.

*Super 8 Cinema Soirée - 12th Edition*
Join us in celebrating the 12th edition of the Super 8 Cinema Soirée! 20
never-before-seen films, shot and exhibited on super 8! The Super 8 Cinema
Soirée (est. 2006) is distinct in that none of the films are viewed by the
filmmakers before the screening. Participants are not allowed to preview or
edit their films. What’s shot in-camera is what’s shown. Each participant
gets one chance, one reel, and one take, premiering them at a one-night
collective event. Sound is done separately, often designed, edited, and
mixed post-shoot. The 2022 exhibition marks the first since 2019, no thanks
to COVID-19. So come on out for some exciting new films, food, and bevy.
It's free to attend and open to the public.

*UKRAINIAN BENEFIT*
CURTIS' *TRAUMAZONE* + STONE's *UKRAINE ON FIRE* +
In our ongoing collaboration with our fave non-profit Humanity Now,
benefiting international war refugees, here's a program of mostly docs
on Ukraine and Russia. Featured is the new and utterly astonishing
*TraumaZone* (*Ep.7*) by UK comp-doc master Adam Curtis! The last of his 7
hours on the “Fall of Democracy” in Russia contextualizes Putin's rise and
posits Ukraine as a casualty of the Old Empire's political and economic
implosion. The first hour of our program is constituted by hefty excerpts
from a pair of provocative histories of the past decade
of Ukrainian upheaval: Eugeny Afineevsky's *Winter on Fire *and Oliver
Stone's (!) *Ukraine on Fire*, the latter offering a little-seen
perspective on Ukrainian antisemitism and that nationalism for which the
Kremlin reserves the word “Nazism”. Comparing Stone's lighting-fast editing
style to the decidedly elliptical leaps of Curtis proves a special treat,
especially with our added exemplar of Dziga Vertov, whose *Enthusiasm* pops
up. AND the downright jaw dropping *Playing Apocalypse*,
by UCB grad Aleksandra Simonova (in person), which parlays her
documentation of Odessa's historical role-players in scary Cold War tunnels
into a larger allegory on dystopian subcultures in the beleaguered country.

*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

*JEAN-LUC GODARD (1930-2022)*
To mark the passing of one of the titans of cinema, we present two of
Jean-Luc Godard’s most rarely-screened series of films: the politically and
aesthetically radical works he made between 1968-71 – including those
produced as part of the Dziga Vertov Group, in collaboration with
Jean-Pierre Gorin and others – and his later, magisterial
collage-work, *HISTOIRE(S)
DU CINÉMA*, which is often cited as one of the finest achievements of the
second half of his career. Special thanks to Bret Berg (American Genre Film
Archive) and Louise Paraut (Gaumont).
THE DZIGA VERTOV GROUP
Upon the completion of *WEEKEND* in 1967, Jean-Luc Godard shifted gears to
engage more directly with the radical political movements of the era – thus
creating a new kind of film, or, as he eventually put it: “new ideas
distributed in a new way.” This method involved collaborating with the
precocious young critic and journalist, Jean-Pierre Gorin. Both as a
two-person unit, and as part of the loose collective known as the Groupe
Dziga Vertov (named after the early 20th-century Russian
filmmaker/theoretician), Godard and Gorin would realize “some political
possibilities for the practice of cinema” and craft new frameworks for
investigating the relationships between image and sound, spectator and
subject, cinema and society.
These films, long out-of-circulation except in film dupes and bootleg video
copies, represent one of the least-known chapters in Godard’s extraordinary
career. They provide a crucial glimpse of his radicalization, and of the
aesthetic dialogue between Godard and Gorin that, in essence, invented a
modern militant cinema. As Godard told an English journalist of the era,
film is not a gun, but “a light which helps you check your gun.”
For this series we present screenings of three of the Dziga Vertov Group
films (*WIND FROM THE EAST, STRUGGLE IN ITALY, and VLADIMIR AND ROSA*, as
well as two preceding films that led directly to the formation of the group
(*A FILM LIKE ANY OTHER and BRITISH SOUNDS*).
“Are these films ready for a second chance? It would be quite something if
they finally joined the great Godardian corpus. They have been the gaping
wound in the man’s authoritative canon for so long, the films that are
allegedly ‘better read about than seen.’ […] It’s possible that time and
history have caught up with the Dziga Vertov Group, in the sense that two
of the discourses that permeate the films – socialism and fascism – are now
once again very much on the table. This is not to say that ‘Godardian
pedagogy’ will find its rightful place as the aesthetic mode of the 21st
century, but the films’ handmade, declamatory style does fit nicely with
the age of rampant amateur media production and a younger generation for
whom activism and technology are entirely coextensive.” –Michael Sicinski,
