*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.

*JONAS MEKAS TRIBUTE SCREENINGS, PART 5*
On January 23, 2019, almost a month after his 96th birthday, Anthology’s
founder Jonas Mekas passed away. Despite his advanced age, Jonas’s energy,
joy, and perceptiveness, as well as his mischievous spirit and boundless
openness to new forms of expression, were unflagging until his very final
days. He remained a fixture of experimental and independent culture – in
NYC and internationally – and a major driving force here at Anthology,
until the end. In a very real sense, every program we present – and every
film we save, preserve, and restore – has been and will continue to be a
tribute to Jonas, to his tireless promotion of avant-garde film and his
creation of multiple institutions and initiatives to support the
infrastructure of non-commercial cinema.

Jonas was, of course, not only a writer, poet, artist, and co-founder of
Anthology, the Film-Makers’ Cooperative, and Film Culture Magazine, but
also a filmmaker of great renown. Immediately following his death, we
embarked on a multi-part, comprehensive retrospective of his films and
videos, both widely celebrated classics and far more obscure works. That
retrospective was all set to conclude with a fifth and final chapter in the
spring of 2020, which was ultimately postponed due to the pandemic.

Now, as both a long-delayed continuation of the memorial retrospective, and
a celebration of Jonas’s centennial (he was born on December 24, 1922), we
present the series of screenings that were initially planned in 2020. The
earlier chapters of the retrospective were devoted to his diary films, his
portraits of people and places, and his films documenting various forms of
art or performance. This installment, on the other hand, showcases the
remaining films in Jonas’s filmography, which don’t easily fit into any
category. The selection encompasses a small subset of films that constitute
film- or video-letters to friends, colleagues, or to the public at large,
as well as numerous others that demonstrate Jonas’s restless and
ever-inventive openness to new cinematic forms.

Very special thanks to Oona & Sebastian Mekas, and to Elle Burchill. All
descriptions are by Jonas Mekas unless otherwise noted.

*INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC2*
THROBBING GRISTLE'S *OTHER, LIKE ME* + LIVE ELECTRONICS
>From performance art to industrial music, Throbbing Gristle generates
controversy by using disturbing imagery in their live acts and
publications. In this hour-long BBC doc, the fascinating early years of
the infamous band are explored, with copious stills and motion picture
clips, to paint a highly detailed living portrait of these true
trailblazers—in fact, practically inventors of the industrial genre.
Riveting performance samples and tell-all interviews afford a sense of
depth to not only the four band members, but also their circle of
free-thinkers. V Vale of Research Pubs shares Genesis anecdotes in a
generous introduction to this major release. Beginning the program
is Marian Wallace/Pablo Duran’s personal gallery-walk with T.G. at a recent
opening, re-tracked with live in-house synth and treated vocals
by Josephine Torio. PLUS a glimpse of Mills College icon Pauline Oliveros!

*Canyon Cinema Discovered: INSURGENT ARTICULATIONS*
A strong interest in the social, political, and cultural contexts has
always been part and parcel of a good variety of experimental filmmaking
practices, even though canonical works on experimental cinema tend to focus
solely on the formal explorations that supposedly reflect the filmmaker’s
own (hermetic) subjectivity. Because of this exclusive focus on formal
experimentation, the socio-historical, cultural, and representational
politics, ethics, and concerns of much experimental work remained unnoticed
until recently. Focusing on the theme of the aesthetics of socio-political
unrest and protest, this program showcases examples of experimental
filmmaking that fictionally constructed or experimentally reconstructed in
formally explorative and reflexive ways demonstrations, rallies, marches,
and sit-ins. Curated by Ekin Pinar.

*Discovered: Prime Time Reverie*
Curated by Aaditya Aggarwal
>From cosmetic commercials to women-led talk shows to narrative melodrama,
television catered to feminized viewers is a formally diverse genre,
nudging, socializing, and mirroring its spectators in intimate and
discerning ways. Capturing the urgent, anchoring spirit of prime time
telecasts, Prime Time Reverie stages a fragmented history of television as
a women’s medium. The works in this program engage multiple tides of
broadcasting, from soapy to confessional, from sensationalist to
documentarian. Weaving an absent or corporeal presence through each work,
televised portrayals of womanhood—hermetic, large, versatile—incite
daydreams among a mass populace, flirting with histories of technology,
desire, and visuality.

*The Festival of (In)Appropriation*
In person: Guest Curators Marie-Pierre Burquier, Mariquita “Micki” Davis,
and Allyson Unzicker, and filmmakers Misael Oquendo and TT Takemoto

4 world premieres, 3 US premieres, 1 LA premieres, and 3 West Coast
premieres!

Collage or compilation. Found footage film or recycled cinema. Remix or
détournement. Whatever one might call it, the practice of incorporating
preexistent media into new artworks engenders novel juxtapositions, new
ideas, and latent connotations… often entirely unrelated to the intentions
of the original makers. In that regard, such works are truly
“inappropriate.” Indeed, the act of (in)appropriation can reveal unimagined
relationships between past and present, here and there, intention and
subversion, artist and critic, and perhaps even compel us to reexamine what
it means to be the "producer" or "consumer" of visual culture itself.

Fortunately for our purposes, the past decades have witnessed the emergence
of countless new kinds of audiovisual material available for artistic
(in)appropriation. In addition to official state and commercial archives,
resources like vernacular collections, home movie repositories, and digital
archives now provide the artist with a wealth of fascinating matter to
reprocess, repurpose, and endow with new meaning and resonance.

Founded in 2009 by Jaimie Baron, Greg Cohen, and Lauren Berliner, the
Festival of (In)appropriation is a yearly showcase of contemporary,
short-form, audiovisual works that appropriate existing film, video, or
other media and redeploy them in “inappropriate” and inventive ways. This
year marks the culmination of the Festival’s first decade, with a program
that ranges from militant political documentary, uncanny TV supercuts, and
raucous re-mix juggernauts, to quasi-DIY orphan film animations, haunting
YouTube mash-ups oozing with existential teen angst, and a brooding digital
experiment performed upon a single, black-and-white, still photograph.

For the first time since its inception, this year’s festival will be guest
curated by Marie-Pierre Burquier, Mariquita “Micki” Davis, and Allyson
Unzicker.

*HOW FILM SHAPES BEHAVIOUR - PIXELVISION SALON*
Park at Froggy's 1105 N Topanga Canyon Blvd, Topanga, CA 90290 (right next
door)

part of Topanga Film Festival, HOW FILM SHAPES BEHAVIOUR - PIXELVISION
SALON - Gerry Fialka, Director of the PXL THIS Film Festival, hosts a fun
interactive salon on how film shapes behaviour through the lense of the
Fisher-Price PXL-2000 toy video camera. Pixelvision is electronic folk art
evoking the maxim: "The Balinese have no word for art, they do everything
as well as they can." Lo-Fi Hi-Jinx.

We'll explore the significance of this raw DIY moving image art tool
through the percepts of Marshall McLuhan, George Seaurat, Salvador Dali,
James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Frank Zappa & more. James Wickstead
invented the plastic camcorder and Fisher-Price produced it from 1987 to
1989. It records picture and sound directly onto audio cassettes, which
creates its grainy look. Another distinguishing feature is its "in-focus"
capability from zero to infinity. The "in your face" attitude restores a
certain human vitality to the overpowering sensory overload that bombards
us daily. It illustrates McLuhan's percept that television is tactile - you
can practically touch the dots, all 2,000 of them (as opposed to the
200,000 you normally see on TV).

Orson Welles said that a movie studio is "the biggest electric train set a
kid ever had." On the other end of the spectrum, the PXL-2000 video camera
is the cheesiest failed toy ever -- a train crashes on the playground. Yet,
in the hands of visionary video-makers, it has become an essential tool of
cutting-edge creativity. The irresistible irony of the PXL is that the
camera's ease-of-use and affordability, which entirely democratizes
movie-making, has inspired the creation of some of the most visionary,
avant and luminous film of our time.

An immersive exhibit hosted by Maenad Collective/ 8mm films & related
objects by Alex Faoro/live cello & sound processing by Alice Gerlach.

Culling images from his catalogue of personal materials, artist and
filmmaker Alex Faoro enacts various methods of decay to create colorful and
synaptic films that explore the ontology of memory. Using self-made images
and found footage - sometimes together - he produces transfixing works that
convey the aesthetic and processual qualities of recall, and consider the
complex relation between memory, materiality, forgetting and the moving
image.

*Los Angeles Filmforum and Mezzanine present Light Field in Los Angeles*
In person: Light Field Members Samuel Breslin, Emily Chao, Zachary Epcar,
Trisha Low, tooth, Syd Staiti, and Patricia Ledesma Villon and filmmaker
Alee Peoples

All 16mm prints!

Dedicated to the memory of Amy Halpern

Filmforum and Mezzanine are delighted to present the inaugural L.A.
screening with Light Field, an annual artist-run exhibition of recent and
archival moving-image art on celluloid, traditionally held in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 2016, the Light Field festival is
collectively organized by a motley crew of practicing artists, poets and
filmmakers: Samuel Breslin, Emily Chao, Zachary Epcar, Trisha Low, tooth,
Syd Staiti, and Patricia Ledesma Villon. All of the works in this show will
be 16mm prints!

The Bay Area has had a long and storied tradition of alternative
moving-image exhibition, one that has been negatively impacted by recent
developments including the closure of SFMOMA’s film program and the
impending renovation of the historic Castro Theater. In spite of a global
pandemic bringing further pressures to real estate and cost of living—not
to mention the exhibition of artist’s cinema—the spirit of collective
action and ambitious film curation have continued to find a home in Light
Field. The group is unique in their desire to place both recent and
archival experimental films into conversation with each other and to always
prioritize a multiplicity of aesthetic and curatorial viewpoints. – Micah
Gottlieb

Mezzanine is an irregular independent and revival film series based in Los
Angeles, developed and overseen by Micah Gottlieb. Programs are frequently
done in collaboration with local artists, filmmakers, writers, curators and
other luminaries from specific disciplines. For more information, and to
subscribe to our newsletter, please visit mezzaninefilm.com.

This program has been curated by the members of Light Field.
