*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.

*LET’S ALL BE LICHEN*
let’s all be lichen is an Inukjuamiut’s response to 100 years of our
namesake’s seminal film*. Featuring the works of largely circumpolar (Inuk,
Sámi, Evenk and Sakha) filmmakers, the series weaves together works by
artists who have harnessed their own power and distinct voice through the
moving image. The series shimmers with personal histories, the spiritual
anthropocene, questions of agency, memory, and urbanization, as well as a
fierce and love-filled reclaiming of the arctic imaginary.
With works by Siku Allooloo, Zinnia Naqvi, Sunna Nousuniemi, Lindsay
McIntyre, Chris Marker, Nivi Pedersen, Svetlana Romanova, Lada Suomenrinne,
Zulaa Urchuud, asinnajaq, and her father, world-renown filmmaker Jobie
Weetaluktuk.
let’s all be lichen is a five-part series that runs from October 10 to
November 10, 2022 at Anthology Film Archives, e-flux Screening Room. Online
programs will be announced shortly.
The Opening Night will take place on Indigenous People’s Day, October 10,
and will be hosted by Anthology Film Archives. The screening will be
preceded by Inuit games in Albert’s Garden — all are welcome, RSVP
required. Our closing event on November 10th will be at e-flux Screening
Room.
Additional screenings will be hosted on campuses thanks to the
Colgate/Flaherty Distinguished Global Filmmaker Residency program, NYU

*A Synesthete's Atlas - Eric Theise & Liz Draper*
An evening of real-time cartographic improvisations using projected,
manipulated digital maps by Eric Theise, directed and accompanied by
upright & electric bassist Liz Draper. Expect a visual wash of street
grids, land masses, bodies of water, and curiosities from the built
environment. Saturated colors and subtle tints. Sounds symphonic and
serrated. The flicker film as wayfinding device. Orphaned information and
untethered symbology. Crowdsourced data with Swiss precision, and glitches
a kilometer wide. OpenStreetMap as light show.
This will be the first performance of *A Synesthete's Atlas* in the
Midwest. While it's presented as the finale to the North American
Cartographic Information Society's Annual Meeting it is open to the public.
Eric Theise is a San Francisco-based artist and geospatial software
developer. Through video and real time performance he reinvigorates the
perceptual inquiries of structural filmmakers, experimental animators, op
artists, and the light and space movement as new possibilities in the realm
of digital cartography. A Synesthete's Atlas premiered with cellist Helena
Espvall in Lisbon in April 2022 and has since been performed in East & West
Coast US venues. Theise's 16mm films have screened across the United
States, Canada, and France; he’s held residencies at Hangar (Lisbon),
Signal Culture, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and he's
received grants from the Interbay Cinema Society and Bay Area Video
Coalition.
Liz Draper, classically and jazz-trained versatile bassist, is fortuitously
on break from an international tour with Low. She's performed, recorded
and/or toured internationally with such groups as the Grammy Award-winning
Okee Dokee Brothers, Soul Asylum, Charlie Parr, The Rose Ensemble, Ben
Weaver, Orkestar Bez Ime, and Davina and the Vagabonds. A professional
musician since age 16, Liz has performed in an astonishing array of musical
genres and ensembles, from jazz and classical to folk, metal,
improvisational, experimental, Balkan, and chamber strings. Liz holds a
Bachelor of Music in Double Bass Performance from the University of
Minnesota and has studied at The School For Improvised Music in Brooklyn,
New York. She was awarded a 2019 fellowship through Giant Steps Music
Action Women, a partnership with the University of San Francisco.

*Ephraim Asili: Measuring Time*
an evening of live sound performance by Ephraim Asili taking place as part
of our series of “Imageless Film” performances in connection and
collaboration with the “Imageless Films” series at Anthology Film
Archives. A Q&A with Ephraim Asili will follow the performance.
New York-based artist Ephraim Asili will provide an improvised soundscape
performance on the Boss SP-404 SX Linear Wave Sampler Sequencer, which was
used to score several of his films, tapes, and most recently the vinyl
record included in his recently published book, “Measuring Time” (VSW
PRESS).
“My first medium was sound/music. Eventually film replaced sound as my main
mode of artistic communication. Whenever time permits and the spirit moves,
I make audio sketches and notes, what I consider Hip Hop inspired aural
journal entries. The audio-collage entries on the enclosed record were made
with my vinyl record collection, a Technic 1200 turntable, a Boss SP 404
sampler, and a Tascam four track cassette recorder.” — Ephraim Asili
Please note: Masks are required for entry to our events at this time.

*MAGICK/CIRKUS GALA*
DIEHL's *MISDIRECTIONS*
Our *Supernatural Suite* opens with a mind-melting carnival ride, through
both a rich legacy of the American circus subculture, and through the
particular sideshow art of the sleight-of-hand magician. We celebrate
the SF launch of Carl Diehl's utterly genius zine about his great-uncle
Werner “Dorny” Dornfield. Carl sends in a custom video cut that draws from
the chapbook itself, delving into Dorny's association with Harry Houdini,
as well as a series of conversations with historians, performance artists,
and magicians. ALSO: jaw-dropping contortionist footage, Kathleen
Quillian's animation *The Conjuror*, and Craig Baldwin's live magic trick!
As to the broader cultural phenomenon of the circus in the US, well, we DO
have the very best material in the form of a 1949 16mm Technicolor, *Circus
Train*. PLUS: *vérité* footage of the marvelous Bicentennial circus, also
in luscious color. AND an excerpt from the recent miracle acquisition, *Soviet
Circus* (if you can believe that!).

York underground film scene, Sally Dixon (1932–2019) dedicated her life to
cultivating avant-garde film community through friendship, advocacy and
visionary curatorial work. As founder, curator and administrator
(1970–1975) of the Carnegie Museum of Art’s Film Section series, Dixon
presented, commissioned and supported ground-breaking works by a huge array
of filmmakers—including Carolee Schneemann, Gunvor Nelson, Stan Brakhage,
Roger Jacoby, George & Mike Kuchar, Hollis Frampton, Storm De Hirsch and
many others—while setting an exemplary model for the presentation of artist
films in a fine arts context and for providing financial compensation to
artists. Her establishment of the famed Pittsburgh Travel Sheet (in 1973)
and role in founding the Filmmakers Preview Network and of Pittsburgh
Filmmakers helped solidify a national touring network of alternative
exhibition spaces and film artists. In her later career, Dixon programmed
films at the Walker Art Center—where she published the famed Filmmakers
Filming series of artist monographs—and worked for various philanthropic
foundations, providing thousands of dollars in support of filmmaker
projects.
Long under-recognized as a figure in the field, Dixon’s tale is told in
Brigid Maher’s Experimental Curator: The Sally Dixon Story, a loving
portrait featuring extensive archival footage, interviews and photographs
documenting Dixon’s life and work and interviews with members of Dixon’s
extensive circle including Jonas Mekas, Jane Brakhage Wodening, Carolee
Schneemann, Ken Jacobs and more. The screening of Experimental Curator is
preceded by three works featured in the film—James Broughton’s
*Erogeny* (1976),
filmed on Dixon’s dining room table; Roger Jacoby’s *Dream Sphinx* (1974),
“starring” Dixon and Warhol superstar Ondine; and Storm De Hirsh’s
double-projected *Third Eye Butterfly* (1968), all screened in vibrant
16mm. (Steve Polta)

*Sally Cruikshank & Vince Collins: Cartoons for Convoluted Craniums!*
In person: Sally Cruikshank.
This program contains mature content.
Sally Cruikshank and Vince Collins both studied animation at the San
Francisco Art Institute in the early 1970s and were two of the most
brilliantly creative talents of the new wave of experimental animators then
emerging. Both were influenced by classic cartoons and underground comics
alike, and their respective approaches in boldly colorful cel animation
reflected an appropriately surreal and anarchic response to an America
still deeply embroiled in the Vietnam War, in a post-psychedelic era marked
by massive upheaval and unrest. Cel animation had long been the standard
medium of the industry, but few American experimental animators engaged
with it as deeply and creatively as Cruikshank and Collins. Its historical
identity and aesthetic properties represent a unique visual language
offering vibrant approaches to movement, color, layering, and form, and
these two artists explored its qualities in radical and innovative ways.
All films courtesy of the Academy Film Archive with immense thanks to Vince
Collins, Sally Cruikshank, and Jon Davison. Thanks to the National Archives
and Records Administration for their assistance in the restoration of 200.

*VISIONS: EMMANUEL LEFRANT & ELIO DELLA NOCE*
This month, we present two sessions of experimental cinema on the occasion
of the publication of the book *Expanded Nature: Ecologies* of experimental
cinema under the direction of Elio Della Noce and Lucas Murari at Light
Cone Editions. The first brings together filmmakers who, while our era is
marked by the scale of human actions on the rest of the living (the
Anthropocene), engage in ecological practices that tend to shift the
privilege attributed to humans. The second is an opportunity to discover
all the films of Emmanuel Lefrant, the director of Light Cone, who
regularly collaborates with the Cinémathèque québécoise.

*Two Days with Bill Brand*
October 26 @ 6:30pm: Workshop: Master Class on Film Preservation
October 27 @ 7pm: Screening: In Dialogue with Bill Brand
We are pleased to welcome artist, educator, film preservationist and
Rochester native Bill Brand back to Rochester for a two day engagement at
VSW. Bill is the founder and owner of BB Optics, a film preservation lab in
NYC with an extensive list of clients that includes MoMA, Disney, and the
Library of Congress.
On October 26, Bill will give a Master Class on his work as a film
preservationist, and discuss the technical complexities of archiving film
in a variety of formats and for multiple uses. This event is co-sponsored
by the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation. Tickets can be
purchased at
https://www.vsw.org/vsw-salon-fall-2022/october-26-master-class-on-film-preservation-with-bill-brand/
.
On October 27, the VSW Salon will present a program of Bill's experimental
films along with selections he has made from the VSW Film collection. This
screening will be followed by a conversation between Bill and VSW curator
Tara Nelson. Inspired by the expanded cinema and avant-garde film movements
of the 1960’s, Brand began his career as an experimental filmmaker, working
with 16mm film, projection performance and sound installation. His early
films addressed a broad range of approaches, from formal abstraction to
structural inquiry, with a consistent sense of humor and a touch of
playfulness. Bill’s practice has continued to evolve to include video,
painting, drawing, and a public art installation that is viewable through
the windows of a moving subway train in NYC.
