*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: A small table, with a bottle of wine, garlic, sausage, bread*
“A small table with a bottle of wine, garlic, sausage, bread,” a solo
exhibition of works by Jonas Mekas, opening on December 8 and taking place
in connection with 100th anniversary of his birth on December 24, 1922.
“A small table with a bottle of wine, garlic, sausage, bread" features
Mekas’ final work *Requiem* (2019), an 84-minute video piece that, after
its debut as part of a live visual/orchestral performance at The Shed in
2019, is being exhibited for the first time in its final single-channel
video form. Additionally, the show includes a selection of the artist's
4-channel video installations, know as “quartets,” as well as
multi-projector 35mm slide, sound, and photographic installations made
between 2000 and 2018 — most of which have rarely, if ever, been presented
in the United States.
Associated events will also be taking place during the course of the
exhibit.

*SODA JERK: The Time That Remains*
2012 | digital | 12 mins
Dear J,
After you left the house this afternoon — we had both so much and so little
to say to each other, as if the objects around us contained our words and
we had to unlock them one by one, the way jewelery boxes of thought ready
to bring forth their miniature dancer—I was seized with a sudden melancholy
(for lack of a better word to describe the calm nervous breakdown that
gripped me). The prospect of seeing you again terrified me. Because after
all that we have shared, made shine, passionately sabotaged, in short,
after all that we have lived leaning against each other, and here we are
catapulted out of ourselves and yet perhaps more than ever in- inside of
us, something was said in me without formulating it clearly that we would
inevitably miss this reunion imposed by others. Did I just want to see you
again? You must have grimaced when M. proposed this meeting to you.
The prospect of seeing you again terrified me, I was just telling you, and
this manifested itself in the dreams of the previous night, dreams during
which frayed images formed an atmosphere where you were going, alternately
shimmering and shimmering. Who were you, who was I, these images asked, who
were we to each other, to each other, what was the distance that was
intrinsically part of our relationship, this intimacy- there, this
detestation of love, this hinge, this fold through which we articulated
ourselves on both sides of closed doors and our broken lives at the work of
appearing without common measure?
So you were there and not quite there. You were beautiful and then I
watched you being beautiful and you yourself watching me, only I was
elsewhere than within beauty, elsewhere than beautiful yes, that I knew,
from the now familiar sensation of my more more porous and to the
ever-surprised vision of my own weathered face, no longer belonging to
myself and yet welcoming all the strata of this I no longer am and then am
by the desiring force of oblivion. And the dream, made of an image of a
ball, of a marvelous dress, of curly hair falling in a cascade, image of
you archaic and new, image of a waltz by Chopin, of a sea evoking the
density of a psalm, conveyed a traversed and traversing duration, an idea
of you and of me. From my dream emanated the affinity emerging from the
vitality of our antagonism, I cannot tell you exactly how, since they were
only old images projected by the mind which sleeps and fears the next day,
but yes the affinity and split were expressed in the same way, like a
wavering, a given meaning, the indifference of the setting sun.
In the morning, I got up as if accomplished in a train station. After all
these years, you would soon be here, as we began our disappearance and this
disappearance became the new surface, the new support of our being. I was
about to welcome you into this detachment, into this impalpable transit
where I felt you, still erotic and hot with anger, I was about to see you
and say hello to you ironically.
You were there, in front of me, with your make-up that fools no one, your
buried beauty, your sulky lips but worked at the same time by a subtle
smile with an impossible to define spring. We disdainfully drank tea with
these people who framed us and this pan of fatalism hanging on your blink,
hanging on the closing of your incredibly long eyelids behind which I knew
you knew all the material of our battles against the world.
This afternoon, you were once again this other against whom I sought
headlong to define myself and impose an image, this creature to swallow, to
engulf like food. We pretty much said the things they expected, those
barking dogs. And that was suddenly all. The door, with its people, your
presence, its uproar, has closed. You were well and truly gone this time.
And I immediately noticed a flicker, at the source of the intranquility
that makes me take paper and pencil.
I write to you as to myself, to this other that I have become, similar to
what you have always been in the hollow of my angular heart and who lives a
little through your own memories whose exact content I do not know, but
within which I know I exist. I am writing to you through various accents,
through the ages that we have had, alone and together, and from this
station from where I would like to wish you good continuation, good
disappearance, dear... wish you a beautiful death like sea, a beautiful
death like your eyebrows.
Friendships,
B.

*ALEXANDER HAMMID*
Alexander Hammid (born Alexandr Hackenschmied in Linz, Austria-Hungary, in
1907 and raised in Prague) is best known in avant-garde cinema circles for
his collaborations with his then-partner Maya Deren, and above all for his
role in making *MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON* (1943), which remains one of the
most extraordinary and influential films in the history of American
filmmaking. Hammid’s career, however, extends far beyond his partnership
with Deren, and is in fact an astonishingly wide-ranging and accomplished
body of work, spanning nearly half a century and touching on almost every
genre and category of film imaginable.
This retrospective explores every chapter in his rich and constantly
morphing career: the pioneering experimental films he made in
Czechoslovakia before emigrating to the U.S. during the war; his
collaborations with Deren; his work making political documentaries with the
filmmaker Herbert Kline in the early years of WWII; the propagandistic
films commissioned by the United States Office of War Information; the
sponsored films about social behavior made for Affiliated Film Producers;
his numerous collaborations with artists, dancers, and musicians; and the
films that emerged from his partnership in the 1960s-70s with Francis
Thompson, which were produced for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, the 1967
Montreal Expo, and for the inauguration of the National Air and Space
Museum (1976’s T*O FLY!*, for which the pair helped develop the new IMAX
70mm film format). The series features several works preserved in
Anthology’s collection, including a brand-new 16mm print of *THE PRIVATE
LIFE OF A CAT* (1944).
“Because [Hammid’s vision] is a wonderful combination of formalist and
humanist tendencies, it gives his work a terrible lyricism. He is incapable
of sentimentality because of his terrific sense of form; and he is
incapable of formalism because of a profoundly childlike love of things and
tenderness. Consequently you get a terrifically high pitch of lyricism in
its most out-of-the-world form…like the best of the fairy-tales, or like an
unaccompanied improvisation on a flute. I speak of him because he never
speaks much, having an almost purely visual mind.” –Maya Deren, letter to
Herbert Passin, 1943

*GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE*
by Jacquelyn Mills
2022, 103 min, 16mm-to-DCP. Distributed by Cinema Guild.
“For the last 40 years, environmentalist and naturalist Zoe Lucas has been
living on Sable Island, a slender strip of land off the coast of Nova
Scotia, cataloguing its flora and fauna, as well as the growing amounts of
waste that wash up on its shores. Director Jacqueline Mills travels there
to follow Lucas in her everyday routine, as she wanders the island,
observes plants and insects, checks in on seals and wild horses, removes
globules of plastic from the sand. They record everything, one with paper
and pen, the other via 16mm film; everything here leaves a trace. Mills
enters into a relationship with the island too, burying film stock among
living roots or attaching microphones to the wooden frame of an abandoned
building, helping this place make sounds and images of its own, as
ravishing and resonant as all the others. So many things can be gleaned
from one small island: the gentle daily grind of science, the concurrent
isolation and interconnectedness of any space in the world, the accumulated
matter and meaning of a life’s work and a vast ecosystem, the need to make
the workings of any documentary visible. A film that never tries to hide
what it is: the blissfully organic result of an encounter.” –James
Lattimer, VIENNALE
“*GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE* shows us that conversations between artists and
scientists are uniquely poised to reveal the truths of the so-called
natural and human worlds, and that documentary methods can preserve the
wonder of a little-seen, though not entirely untouched, place.” –Esmé

*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.

*SMALL NOTES ON SMALL GESTURES A selection of contemporary Super 8 films
from Brazil*
In a world where the Big Gestures (with a capital B and G) like going to
space are celebrated in Big Media, can a small gesture like collecting
insect corpses serve as a point of displacement? This selection of films,
made by artist-filmmakers (with lowercase a-f) from various corners of
Brazil, offers fragmented time-spaces to celebrate small gestures in situ.
A ritual call to ancestry, nature-culture appropriated/excavated from the
skull of Mother Earth, a gesture of an artist to relate to filmic support,
ephemeral reincarnation of humans and non-humans. The majority of the
works, if not all, were revealed and revived by the artists own hands
without institutional support.
All the films of the program will be projected in their original format:
super 8 film. They are unique copies due to their nature and the presence
of a projectionist is a crucial part of the experience. The program was
possible thanks to a reliable network of artists who gave it to their only
children. Super 8 was, and continues to be, the perfect format for artists
who are not committed to the commercial circuit. Unlike the larger calibers
such as the 16 mm and the 35 mm, this small format was not due to
censorship during the military dictatorship due to its amateur character
(the lowercase letters). It is pertinent to reflect on the artistic
production in super 8 in Brazil in the present day, but also with the
tenebrous presence of the Grandes Medios y Potencias del Capital.

*FILMS FROM IRAN FOR IRAN*
On September 16, Jina (Mahsa) Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, was
murdered in Tehran following her arrest by Iran’s Morality Police for
wearing “improper” hijab. This brutal state-sanctioned murder has spurred a
new women-led revolution across the country: with women, schoolgirls, and
their allies mobilizing against veiling (mandatory since the foundation of
the Islamic Republic in 1979), as well as countless other manifestations of
the Islamic Republic’s all-pervasive oppression. Since then, hundreds of
protesters have been murdered, with the particular targeting of ethnic and
religious minorities including members of the Kurdish, Bahaiee, and Baluch
communities; every day, we read news of another execution following a sham
trial.
Through this program, we seek to extend solidarity to the struggle in Iran,
and contribute some much-needed nuance and context to the long history of
feminist resistance to state violence that has existed there, at the
intersections between gender, class, sexuality, and ethnicity. It aims to
provide a corrective to the opportunism of big western art institutions,
whose interest lies almost exclusively in the fetishization of certain
symbols of Iranian society, which have themselves been molded by the
Islamic Republic – institutions that foreground only those artists who
reflect and reinforce this western gaze.

*From Inside of Here*
Filmmaker Bill Basquin IN PERSON for a Q&A moderated by Greta Snider after
the screening.
*From Inside of Here* is a meditation on vulnerability and interconnection
through the lens of an ecosystem and through the body of the filmmaker. The
place itself is a character in the film, as are the filmmaker’s methods.
The film is composed of multiple digital and analog formats: 16mm film, HD
video, infrared stills, inter-titles, and sound recordings. Basquin
structured the filming of *From Inside of Here* around a series of camping
trips to the Gila National Forest in New Mexico, which is the site for the
reintroduction of the endangered Mexican Grey Wolf. The species was brought
very close to extinction by the US Biological Survey in the early 1900s.
The US Biological Survey is a direct predecessor of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, which is the agency now responsible for re-establishing
the species. World Premiere.
