*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.

*Split Screen*
Leslie Bauer
Gwendolyn Audrey Foster
Todd Lambeth
Kate Shults

OPENING FRIDAY, JANUARY 27 @ 7PM

Split Screen is an experiment in encouraging language and conversation
between 2D (in this case painting) and media artworks while expanding
experiential possibilities for viewers. Less a situation of work coexisting
alongside other work in aid of a specific set of ideas, appositions or
overarching theme, the exhibition loosely harnesses syncopations—visual,
audial, kinetic—to imagine a larger composition within which infinite
possibilities for comprehension exist and from which infinite numbers of
questions arise, much like abstraction itself.

In Leslie Bauer’s *Fahren 7* velocity deforms our understanding of static
objects, effecting surfaces into recondite dynamic shapes. “Traffic, as
something very essential and characteristic of a particular time, is
presented as a pattern of order and a perceptible form of structuring space
and time. Locomotion makes a holistic view impossible. In the state of
movement, speed and distance determine the perception of the landscape
traversed. The road network itself is a pattern, a space-rastering
construct, which in turn offers a reservoir of patterns, images and
narratives."

Gwendolyn Audrey Foster’s film *Dada Ship* wrests itself away from the
homogeneity of the historical movement to set sail for other, queerer
shores employing disrupted stereoscopy and collaged détournement of
archival imagery.

In his paintings, Todd Lambeth has long been interested in optically
challenging unfixed areas of interest by flipping figure and ground. Like
the moving image artists in Split Screen, Lambeth understands the actions
of fracturing, splicing and splitting in order to animate lacunae between
seeing and recognition, between “this” and “that.”

Kate Shults has created a video portrait of a disaster—2017’s Hurricane
Irma—from the precarious safety of her home in inland Central Florida.
Through anticipation, impact and aftermath, *Irma* explores the fragility
of digital images and landscapes while deftly challenging the politics of
looking.

While the artists in Split Screen engage with varying approaches and
concerns, they often utilize similar techniques and processes—layering,
montage, chroma shifting and hybrid analog/digital workflows—to enrich the
vocabulary of contemporary abstraction across disparate media.

*Dominic Angerame: A Complete Retrospective (Program 2, The City Symphony
Series)*
This is the second in a series of monthly screenings comprising a complete
retrospective of the work of Dominic Angerame. Since 1968 Angerame has
produced more than 30 films on 16mm and several newer works in digital
format. Some of these films have never had a public screening. Many of
Angerame’s films show San Francisco, the city he has lived and worked in
since 1979, and its varying cityscape as it looks and changes over time. He
has also created short comedies, short-form documentaries and many diary
films. Angerame has taught film in many schools and universities in the Bay
Area as well as at the University of Nevada, Reno. He was Executive
Director of Canyon Cinema from 1980-2012.

For this second program we will present the five original films of the
highly-acclaimed City Symphony series, made between 1984-1997, projected in
their original 16mm film format, including: *Continuum* (1984) with live
guitar by Kevin Barnard, *Deconstruction Sight *(1990), *Premonition*
(1995), *In the Course of Human Events* (1995) and *Line of Fire* (1996).
TRT: 75 mins.

BUCHANAN's 16th ST. POETS + SPOTO's TL + WOOD/WNP's CLIFF HOUSE +
Evermore secret histories and critical insights about our DAMN
fair City!..here's a dozen smart shorts and slide-shows--all pathos, no
bathos! Showcased is Anthony Buchanan's LIVE-NARRATED(!) 16mm(!) 'zine
film' *Memory is Resistance*, a hand-held half-hour of the Mission's ground
zero, at the legendary poetry readings at 16th St. BART, including precious
footage of street artist Ronnie Goodman (RIP). ALSO: SFAI *grad emeritus* Ben
Wood enlightens us to another crucial cultural intervention on the very
western edge of our peninsula: his year long-residency at Cliff
Moving Pictures, turning the abandoned Cliff House into a pop-up
museum! Teamed with Wood, Nicole Meldahl (in person) of the Western
Neighborhoods Project has sourced a treasure trove of visual records,
from tin-types to digi-vids, that serially illuminate the 6 House windows,
with a special focus on Sutro Baths, Playland, and the Kelly's Cove
surfers! PLUS Alex Spoto in the flesh for an overdue celebration of his
energized Tenderloin center of tenant history and art-making. AND Steve
McQueen's *Bullitt* promo, our fave Gay Riots reel, and a NorCal
Tsunami scare-film that delivers the *schadenfreude*! Free postcards.

*EC: BRUCE BAILLIE*

--- February 25, 7pm ---
*MASS FOR THE DAKOTA SIOUX* (1963-64, 20 minutes, 16mm, b&w)
*QUIXOTE* (1964-65, 45 minutes, 16mm)
“In *MASS* and *QUIXOTE* [Baillie] subtly blends glimpses of the heroic
personae with despairing reflections on violence and ecological disaster.
[…] Despite his sophistication, Baillie remains an innocent; the whole of
his cinema exhibits an alternation between two irreconcilable themes: the
sheer beauty of the phenomenal world (few films are as graceful to the eye
as his, few are as sure of their colors) and the utter despair of forgotten
men. It is in QUIXOTE alone that these two themes emerge into a dialectical
form, an antithesis of grace and disgrace.” –P. Adams Sitney, VISIONARY FILM

Total running time: ca. 70 min.

--- February 26, 7:15pm ---
*QUICK BILLY* 1971, 56 min, 16mm
“The essential experience of transformation, between Life and Death, death
and birth, or rebirth. In four reels, the first three adapted from the
Bardo Thodol, the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The fourth reel is in the form
of a black and white one-reeler Western, summarizing the material of the
first three reels, which are color and abstract.” –Bruce Baillie

Followed by:
*QUICK BILLY: SIX ROLLS; 14/41/43/46/47/52* (1968-69, 16 min, 16mm)
Six uncut camera rolls to be shown with *QUICK BILLY*. The ‘rolls’ took the
form of a correspondence, or theater, between their author and Stan
Brakhage, in the winter of 1968-69.

Total running time: ca. 75 min.

*Simon Payne in person*
Simon Payne has been making abstract cinema for over twenty years. His
videos are predominantly orientated around bold graphic forms and highly
structured sequences that produce unexpected colour combinations and
conflicting planes. Sometimes there are contingent elements in his work,
which correspond with incidental indications of the artist’s hand. The
systems that underpin his videos involve the entirety of the screen and
every edge. Their effects spill out of the screen, to illuminate the cinema
in remarkable ways. He will show and discuss a selection of nine works made
between 1998 and 2018.

*A Synesthete's Atlas - Eric Theise & Headboggle*
Real time cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated digital
maps by Eric Theise, in live collaboration with Derek Gedalecia
(Headboggle) and his layered keyboard compositions. A visual wash of street
grids, land masses, water bodies, and curiosities from built and natural
environments. Saturated colors. The subtlest of tints. Glitches in
crowdsourced data. Jittery zooms and pans. Orphaned information and
free-floating symbology.

The performance will last 40 minutes and will occasionally introduce
strobing effects that may affect photosensitive viewers.

The first set (8p) features Lenny Gonzalez - electric guitar/effects, Erik
Ellestad - tenor saxophone.

*Exhalations: Films by Kalpana Subramanian*
This solo screening by the celebrated film and media practitioner brings
together work made from 2002 to the present day.

*event RESCHEDULED FROM FEBRUARY 24 due to inclement weather*

For over 20 years, Kalpana Subramanian has created a remarkable body of
work spanning films, media art, children’s books, scholarship, and
curatorial work. Her recent work is invested in a cinema of breath: a
framework for radical cinema grounded in intersectional-feminist and
decolonial thought, alternative approaches to embodiment, and what Achille
Mbembe calls “the universal right to breathe.” This solo screening by the
celebrated film and media practitioner brings together recent and older
short films from 2002 to the present day, including the entirety of her
Light Mediated series. The filmmaker will be present for a Q&A following
the screening.

This online and event will take place in the theater of Journey's End
Refugee Services, located at the 5th floor of Tri-Main Center. Please note
that the online screening will only have the films, not the Q&A with the
artist. The online films will be available for 24 hours. Squeaky Wheel
members will receive extended access for 72 hours. Please note that some of
the films contain flickering imagery.

--- March 3 @ 8:30pm ET - EC: *DOG STAR MAN* ---
by Stan Brakhage, 1961-64, 74 min, 16mm, silent

“*DOG STAR MAN* elaborates in mythic, almost systematic terms, the
worldview of [Brakhage’s] lyrical films. More than any other work of the
American avant-garde film, it stations itself within the rhetoric of
Romanticism, describing the birth of consciousness, the cycle of the
seasons, man’s struggle with nature, and sexual balance in the visual
evocation of a fallen titan bearing the cosmic name of the Dog Star Man.”
–P. Adams Sitney, VISIONARY FILM

“The film breathes and is an organic and surging thing…it is a colossal
lyrical adventure-dance of image in every variation of color.” –Michael
McClure

*OR119*
NEW YORK PREMIERE ENGAGEMENT! FILMMAKERS IN PERSON!

*OR119* by Peggy Ahwesh & Jacqueline Goss, 2022, 60 min, digital

In this new collaborative work, the legacy of renegade scientist and social
thinker Wilhelm Reich gets the musical treatment it has long deserved,
thanks to filmmakers Peggy Ahwesh and Jacqueline Goss, and an ensemble of
co-conspirators including composer Zach Layton and performers Cecilia
Aldarondo, Laith Ayogu, Lana Lin, Jennifer Montgomery, and Marianne
Shaneen, among many others. A student and protégé of Freud’s, and one of
the most radical figures in the history of psychotherapy, Reich famously
claimed to have discovered orgone, a form of life energy pervading the
universe. Shot in his home and laboratory in Rangeley, Maine, *OR119*
transmutes Reich’s writings into song, while also conjuring into existence
a series of impossible encounters between Reich and a selection of
contemporary feminist writers. A theoretical musical that’s as playful and
liberating as it is formally challenging and intellectually provocative,
*OR119* is suffused with its own unique artistic life force.

“The work is based in ‘quotation’ – both quotations by Reich set to song
(by composer Zach Layton) and in conversation between Reich and a number of
contemporary feminist thinkers including Butler, Barad, Cixous, and others.
We playfully examine the unsettled legacy of Reich and his surprisingly
relevant dynamic with feminist thought. Orgone was the life energy based on
sex and positive expression that Reich claims to have discovered, and here
we grant him the honor of the next number on the periodic chart (*OR119*)
for his discovery.” –Peggy Ahwesh & Jacqueline Goss

With:
Erotic Psyche [Bradley Eros & Aline Mare] *ELECTRAMORPHIC* 1987, 14 min,
Super-8mm-to-16mm
Visions of creation & destruction: the birth of pyromania and explosive
technology. Promethea’s homage to Reich & Tesla and the Orgone of
Alternating Current. ‘Very Kali-graphic.’

*the films of Bretta C. Walker & Jean-Jacques Martinod*
Martinod is an Ecuadorian filmmaker, radio DJ & media artist. His works
endeavor to interrogate sensory cognition in relation to the natural world,
potential planes and parapoetic territories, by interlacing abyssology and
ethnofiction with artisanal experimental film techniques.

Walker’s work is that of a deeply personal practice grounded in healing,
drawing cues from the resilience and sublimity of Nature and its intrinsic
relation to the female condition and form. In her dedication to analog
technologies and celluloid, alongside her personal research in
eco-processing - alchemy, the hand, and a sense of locality are ever
present forces and co-authors in her work.
