*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.

*IMAGELESS FILMS, PART 5*
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. The ongoing
series, “Imageless Films”, which we’ve been presenting since April,
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).
With the September chapter, we bring the series to a close – and in high
style, thanks to rare screenings of Gregory Markopoulos’s *GAMMELION*; a
program featuring works that directly address the audience and/or
projectionist (including Morgan Fisher’s *PROJECTION INSTRUCTIONS* and
Hollis Frampton’s *A LECTURE*); a screening in which we’ll share some of
the most memorable voicemail messages we’ve received over the years at
Anthology; and several live-performance pieces, including Malcolm Le
Grice’s *PRE-PRODUCTION* and a work designed specifically for the Maya
Deren theater by Bradley Eros *(MAYA)*. This final chapter will also bring
the publication of a booklet featuring the complete program notes and a
selection of related texts.
Programmed by Jed Rapfogel, in collaboration with Bradley Eros and John
Klacsmann. Special thanks to Elle Burchill & Andrea Monti (Microscope
Gallery); Olivier Marboeuf (Spectre Productions); and Jeff Perkins.
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/

*TERRA FEMME* by Courtney Stephens, 2017-21, 60 min, DCP
Writer and filmmaker Courtney Stephens has, over the past decade, emerged
as a crucial figure in the realms of experimental and documentary cinema,
thanks to her numerous short films – several of which have found her
working with archival film material – as well as the feature-length *THE
AMERICAN SECTOR* (2020, co-directed by Pacho Velez). Her new
essay-film/performance-piece, *TERRA FEMME* is constructed entirely from
amateur travelogues filmed by women in the 1920s-50s. Moving between
geographical essay, personal inquiry, and historical speculation, Stephens
examines these films as both private documents and accidental
ethnographies. The travelogues present a new type of traveler: no longer a
male seeker of conquests, she might be a divorcee on a tour of biblical
gardens, or a widow on a cruise to the North Pole. In rescuing the films of
these unknown travelers from the archives, *TERRA FEMME* weaves together
questions of female authorship, cinematic excavation, and the Western gaze,
complicating the freedoms these women experienced while traveling through
foreign landscapes. A film about longing for past worlds through cinematic
excavation, *TERRA FEMME* reveals how this force flows in both directions,
as women from the past convey themselves into the present through the power
of their gaze.
*TERRA FEMME* began life as an illustrated lecture, with Stephens
presenting and discussing her archival finds in person – a format that
mirrored the way the films might have been exhibited when they were shot.
During the pandemic, Stephens edited the material into an hour-long essay
film, with music by Sarah Davachi. During Anthology’s week-long engagement,
we will present two incarnations of the film, with Stephens performing the
narration live on Thursday, September 15 and Sunday, September 18.

*EIKI 16mm 3580 SSL Projector Care and Repair Workshop*
Co-sponsored by Interbay Cinema Society and Northwest Film Forum; Moderated
by Echo Park Film Center;
Taught by Kristin Reeves.
The EIKI 16mm 3580 SSL projector is a workhorse machine for microcinemas,
experimental filmmakers, film workshop & classroom teachers, film artists
and cinematheques. Keeping these machines in good working condition is a
necessity and a challenge. This workshop will teach you the basics of how
to care for and do basic repairs on your EIKI slot load projector so that
you can keep it up and running for as long as possible between actual
repairs (and repair people are harder to find these days).
Taught by filmmaker, expanded cinema performance artist and professor
Kristin Reeves, the workshop will bring together filmmakers and
projectionists from around the world to learn basic techniques and
troubleshooting. Kristin plans to run the workshop “like a cooking show.”

*UNSETTLING GENDER*
SUSAN STRYKER's *CHRISTINE IN THE CUTTING ROOM* + LUMINOUS PROCURESS +
Steven Arnold’s 1971 surrealistic fantasy, lauded by Salvador Dali and Andy
Warhol is a tour de force of the imagination – a journey through peekboxes
of naked tableaux, theatres of mechanical dreams, feasts of monsters and
piles of humanity. Two hippies drink a magic potion and encounter the
mystical Procuress. AND: Here in person to introduce this queer classic is
none other than Susan Strkyer, Professor Emerita of Gender and Women’s
Studies, and Presidential Fellow and Visiting Professor of Gender, Women’s,
and Sexuality Studies at Yale University. Her *CITCR* uses the career of
1950s transsexual icon Christine Jorgensen to explore identity, embodiment,
technology, and representation. As part of her introduction Dr.
Stryker also shares a juicy clip from her recent doc on the Compton’s
Cafeteria riots, *SCREAMING QUEENS*.

*Works on Paper*
Telematic Media Arts is pleased to present Works on Paper, an exhibition of
animated films by artists working with paint, paper, drawing, cut-out
collage, and sculpture to produce time-based, moving image works. Attending
to tangible materials, the films in this screening simultaneously
foreground the artistic process and the labor required for their own
creation. They mark the passage of time, giving it form and meaning as
chronicles of physical change. And they show how – with the right degree of
creative imagination, thoughtful attention, and sustained effort – the
world is open to re-invention.
Featuring the work of Meghana Bisineer, Martha Colburn, Jennifer Levonian,
Peter Millard, Johan Rijpma, Paloma Trecka, Selina Trepp

Curated by Solomon Turner and DaManuel Richardson of Hello Benjamin Films.
New Black Wave showcases films by Black filmmakers that push cinema’s
conceptual and aesthetic boundaries to explore deep-rooted emotions within
the African Diaspora. Back for its second edition, the films in New Black
Wave, Vol. 2 remix public and personal archives to reveal new meanings
within familiar images of Black life in America. We bear witness to the
absolute and overwhelming freedom exhibited in Black expression and the
ever-present power of Black culture. The show features brilliant films by
Michčle Stephenson and Imani Dennison, Julie Dash, Ja’Tovia Gary, Paige
Taul, Jenn Nkiru, Moďse Togo, and Darol Olu Kae. The screening will be
followed by a discussion with the curators, filmmakers Paige Taul, Moďse

*i ran from it and was still in it* (Darol Olu Kae, USA, 2020, 11 min,
digital)
A poetic meditation on familial loss and separation, and the love that
endures against dispersion.
*10:28,30* (Paige Taul, USA, 2019, 5 min, digital)
As a part of the larger constellations of works concerning familial
relationships, 10:28,30 examines the relationship between myself and my
sister, and our relationship to our mother. I am interested in the
dissonance of our lives apart and the tension in the desire to be together.
*An Ecstatic Experience* (Ja’Tovia Gary, USA, 2015, 7 min, digital)
A meditative invocation on transcendence as a means of restoration.
*For Our Girls* (Michčle Stephenson and Imani Dennison, USA, 2020, 10 min,
digital)
The film is a love letter to Black daughters—acknowledging the sacred, and
at times, tense relationship mothers and daughters share as they face
challenges and accept each other’s flaws.
*$75,000* (Moďse Togo, France, 2020, 14 min, digital)
A look at the biological aspect of albinism, which is a genetic and
hereditary condition that affects not only the pigmentation of sufferers
but also, and above all, their physical and mental health. These people are
victims of discrimination, mutilation, and ritual crimes in Africa.
*What’s good Bruce?* (Paige Taul, USA, 2018, 4 min, digital)
A reference to Bruce Nauman’s Walking in an Exaggerated Manner Around the
Perimeter of a Square (1967) in order to question whose body and whose body
language is allowed in the studio space. Instead of mimicking the way
Nauman walks, Peter uses the pimp walk (sans cane).
*Standing at the Scratching Line* (Julie Dash, USA, 2016, 11 min, digital)
Traveling between Mother Emanuel AME in Charleston, South Carolina, to
Mother Bethel AME in Philadelphia, Julie Dash creates a cinematic tone poem
about returning to sacred spaces of departure and arrival.
*BLACK TO TECHNO* (Jenn Nkiru, United Kingdom, 2019, 21 min, digital)
BLACK TO TECHNO is a music documentary charting the anthropological,
socio-economical, geopolitical roots of techno from Detroit and how it
traveled and translated into becoming the soundtrack to fall of the wall in
Berlin.

*CLIMATE CHANGE*
THE ANTI-BANALITY UNION's EARTH II +
LJ Frezza, a honored emissary from our sister micro-cinema
in Brooklyn—Spectacle Theater—has managed to make it all the waay out here
for a West Coast tour to unspool their latest cult masterpiece, a energized
montage of climate-disaster earthshakers... to reach a critical mass of
environmental consciousness: 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.

*Tabita Rezaire: Orbit Diapason*
Two films will be at the in-person screening; three other films will be
available online from September 18-September 30.
Filmforum has commissioned five artists to make new work, generously funded
by the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, and over the next year will be
presenting the premieres of the works, including discussions with the
artists.
Tabita Rezaire is the first of our recipients. Based in French Guyana (a
province of France in South America, still remaining from colonial days),
and frequently making work in Africa, Rezaire is a healer, artist, and
farmer whose multi-faceted practice has revolved around concerns of the
internet as a colonial technology, the possibilities of digital interfaces
for spiritual and ancestral information, African spirituality, ecological
collapse, untold histories of Black womxn, decolonizing uses of technology,
and the power of the womb. The works we are exhibiting gather imagery from
the internet, machinima, appropriated films, and her own interviews with
philosophers and others in vivid and colorful geometric landscapes.
This program is made possible by generous support from the Mike Kelley
Foundation for the Arts.
*In addition to the two works being screened in person, with a remote
discussion with Rezaire, three earlier works of hers will be available
online for viewing before or after the show, from Sunday September 18 to
Friday September 30, available through the Filmforum website.* *Orbit
