*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.

*Memory in Decay*
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.

The Bay Area's radical curiosity about both its natural and built

discovery! Heading the bill is Cacophony conspirator John Law's *The Known

Area and beyond.--fascinating details on his many forays into the City's
off-limits areas. John's 45-min show n' tell covers not only
the sewers but bridge expeditions as well, with lots of forbidden footage
from impossible angles. Supporting his oral history are reports on
the Wharf, Playland, People's Park (via Anthony Buchanan), and even last
spring's already-legendary MOMA Soapbox Derby (Gregory Gavin and Jake
Scott). PLUS: Ellie Vanderlip's *faux* report on the disappearance of
public water fountains, Jeremy Rourke's *What Is ATA?*, Steve McQueen's
*Bullitt* promo (paired with Simon Cox' *Sideshow*), 16mm of the Niners in

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

*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.

*VISIONS: Anti-Banality Union*
in collaboration with Hors Champ, VISIONS presents *EARTH II* by the Anti
Banality Union collective.
The Anti-Banality Union is an anonymous collective who re-cut Hollywood
blockbusters into new feature-length films. Their work has been screened at
Spectacle Theater, the Museum of Art and Design, Maysles Documentary
Center, and several undisclosed squats & communes.
*Earth II*, 2021, Digital, 96 mins
Earth, present day. With human civilization facing ever-worsening climate
calamities, the captains of industry set their sights on a new planet.
Soon, a secret public-private partnership is selling tickets to Mars at a
premium out of reach for the majority of the population, for whom the
choice is either indentured servitude in the new offworld colony or
perishing in the coming cataclysm. When the world’s governments decide to
speed things up by declaring war on Earth and the rabble they’re leaving
behind, the planet forges a strategic alliance with an unlikely partner: an
underground luddite movement. Some will join the uprising, others will
become fanatical defenders of entrenched power structures, while yet others
will do everything in their power to continue living exactly the same way
they always have. Its star-studded cast and astronomical production values
— painstakingly purloined from some of the biggest blockbusters of the past
three decades — make *Earth II* the most expensive climate disaster epic to
be produced for no money. Starring Keanu Reeves, Will Smith, and Matt
Damon, *Earth II *reminds us that no matter how far into its final death
spiral our species might be, life finds a way.

LERNER/HARRIS' DOC ON PURIFOY's DESERT ART-PARK
Here's the premiere of prolific documentarian Jesse Lerner's marvelous
exploration of Noah Purifoy's legendary sculpture-park in the desert
around Joshua Tree. Jesse flies up from his Pitzer College duties to
introduce this feature work, *The Fragmentations Only Mean...*,made
with Sara Harris, that celebrates the storied career of
this African-American *assemblage* artist from Watts, who retired from the
California Arts Council in 1986, to spend the last 18 years of his life
creating over 100 uncanny junk-sculptures in the high desert. Opening is a
handful of shorts and performances about the SoCal landscape: Mission
visionaries Bivoulab, with their immersive Virtual Reality piece *Re-Turn
to Zabriskie Point* (via both projection and VR helmet), Kelly Sears' *Maximum
Umbra*, Laura Gabbert's *Monument/Friendship Park*, on the border wall,

curatorial fellowship program.
EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA’S EMBRACE OF JAZZ. Curated by Juan Carlos Kase
Experimental cinema has long embraced American vernacular music as a
generative model, whether it supplied a formal template, an affective
inspiration, or a point of cultural reference. From the collective
polyphony of Charles Mingus’ kinetic ensembles to the gale and squall of
Joe McPhee’s storming cornet, the improvisational energies of jazz – as
well as blues and other popular-modernist musics – have continued to
inspire American avant-garde filmmakers. Collectively, the films in this
program explore the myriad ways in which experimental cinema has drawn from
African-American improvised music and embraced its spontaneous,
collaborative, polyrhythmic, and lyrical energies.

*Canyon Cinema Discovered: Playing in the Dark: Watery Experiments*
Presented by Canyon Cinema, as part of its Canyon Cinema Discovered
curatorial fellowship program.
PLAYING IN THE DARK: WATERY EXPERIMENTS. Curated by Chrystel Oloukoï
Playing in the Dark engages the various ways in which blackness haunts the
sea and is haunted by the sea. Borrowing from Toni Morrison, “playing in
the dark” references the subdued Africanist presence which mediates
imaginations of water in the wake of variegated yet entangled transoceanic
slave trades but also takes seriously darkness as a subversive ecological
milieu, against lures of transparency. In the works gathered here, nothing
is left untouched by the confounding qualities of water and its corrosive
opacities, from bodies to the environment, to the materiality of film
itself. As such, “playing in the dark” also references attempts in Black
experimental filmmaking to chart paths in which cameras do not write with
light but probe shadows in search of “an aesthetics of turbulence whose
corresponding ethics is not provided in advance” (Glissant, Poetics of
Relation).
