*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.

*Natural Magic: Experiments in Photography*
Photography was invented by a network of chemical experimenters. Little by
little, they discovered the photosensitive properties of precious metals
and learned to capture images from life on a chemical emulsion of silver
nitrate, or iron, or gold, or ground up vegetables. Today’s digital
photography feels a long way from the experiments of the nineteenth
century, but an intrepid society of alchemists is reviving the processes of
the past and creating new approaches to darkroom photography.
*Natural Magic* features work by Megan Ringrose, Nettie Edwards, Karel
Doing, Andrés Pardo, and Garry Fabian Miller – artists who have spent a
lifetime exploring the chemical potentials of photography.

*IVÁN ZULUETA*
Iván Zulueta (1943-2009) is one of Spain’s most acclaimed experimental
filmmakers. While his international stature has gradually risen in recent
years, this has been almost entirely due to his 1979 film, *ARREBATO
(RAPTURE)* – one of the two features he directed, *ARREBATO* is a powerful
and uncanny story about drug and film addiction that has deservedly entered
the pantheon of global cult cinema. However, the attention paid to this
major work has overshadowed the rest of Zulueta’s career, which is barely
known abroad.
An upper-class Catholic boy from San Sebastián, Zulueta (born Juan Ricardo
Miguel Zulueta Vergarajauregui, since Iván was not an option due to its
communist echoes in Francoist Spain) was a visual artist of immeasurable
creativity and talent. His cinephilia was fed from an early stage,
especially after his father, Antonio de Zulueta, became the director of the
San Sebastian International Film Festival from 1957-60. From 1960-63, Iván
studied art and décor at the Centro Español de Nuevas Profesiones and, in
1964, he took painting lessons at the Art Students League in New York. His
first contact with American culture – especially during such a repressed
period in Spanish society – had an immeasurable impact, not only on Iván
himself but on his generation of friends and filmmakers who were eager to
connect with international pop culture, avant-garde aesthetics, and
socio-political concerns removed from those of the dictatorship in Spain.
Upon his return to Spain in 1964, Iván enrolled in the national film school
and began a career as a filmmaker, but also as a draftsman, illustrator (he
designed numerous posters, including those for some of Pedro Almodóvar’s
early films), television producer, decorator, actor, and photographer.
Though his “official” filmography would comprise only two feature films,
two short episodes for TV series, and a TV program, his passion for the
moving image and his rich oeuvre as a Polaroid artist, graphic designer,
and maker of Super-8mm and 16mm experimental films has exerted a profound
influence on generations of artists.
This retrospective is the most comprehensive ever presented on Iván
Zulueta. Propelled by Filmoteca Española’s acquisition of Zulueta’s archive
in 2020-21, the series encompasses six programs of newly-discovered
Super-8mm materials, which have been digitized in 4K. The other five
programs survey Zulueta’s career as a film director, bringing together the
two student films he made in the mid-1960s, his first feature (an unlikely
attempt at directing a musical), *UN, DOS, TRES, AL ESCONDITE INGLÉS* (1970),
the radical and innovative short films that followed throughout the 1970s,
and his masterpiece, *ARREBATO* (1979). Seen in concert with the 80-plus
rolls of film that have been retrieved by Filmoteca Española, these
programs constitute a more diverse, vital, and complex image of this
indisputable figure in the genealogy of Spanish experimental film culture.
This retrospective is guest-curated by Miguel Fernández Labayen
(Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) (who wrote the introduction and, unless
otherwise noted, program descriptions), and has been organized in
collaboration with the Filmoteca Española. It is presented with generous
support from the Cultural Department of the Consulate General of Spain.
The “Unseen Zulueta” programs have been curated by Miguel Fernández Labayen
and Josetxo Cerdán (Filmoteca Española, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid).

Montenegro; Rodrigo Carlon (Consulate General of Spain, New York); Elena
Antón, Domingo Guerrero Borrull, and Noelia Sastre (Filmoteca Española);

*The early film work of HARRY SMITH*
A full night of Harry Smith's hand painted abstractions, animations,
superimpositions and Untitled Seminole Patchwork films - featuring live
free-improv musical accompaniment by a quintet of New Mexico / West Texas
sound artists! Harry Everett Smith (1923-1991) was an artist whose
activities and interests put him at the center of the mid twentieth-century
American avant-garde. As a polymath, he's credited variously as an
ethnomusicologist, artist, experimental filmmaker, bohemian, mystic,
hoarder, student of anthropology, and a Neo-Gnostic bishop. This screening
was organized with the Harry Smith Archives in conjunction with a series of
events happening across the world in celebration of Harry Smith's
centennial - including Smith's first ever solo exhibition at the Whitney
Museum!
Live musical accompaniment by: Luna Galassini: dulcimer, metal,
microphones; Abigail Smith: percussion, flute; Gretchen Korsmo: clarinet;
Andrew Weathers: lap steel; Justin Rhody: violin, trumpet, guita

*Film Poems: Amplifying Mysteries*
A momentary poem made from inner objects, a dream crawling out of a house
deep in the forest, and countless insect lights coming up from the ground,
this program floats and sinks in luminous mysteries. These mysteries will
only be revealed quietly when a beam of light from the projector hits the
screen in the dark. A film, a poem, a writer, a secret. (c.h.l.)
These pieces hold a certain enigmatic quality, captivating us with abstract
imagery that shimmers with seductive glamor. Their opaque and ambiguous
nature prompts us to contemplate the meaning behind their intricacies.

*The Wyvernwood Chronicles: Part 1*
Filmforum welcomes local filmmaker Diego Robles with two of the films he
has made with the residents of the Wyvernwood Garden Apartment Complex in
East Los Angeles. The Wyvernwood Chronicles is a series of short films and
one feature-length film that engage in provoking both agency and patience.
The films center around a group of residents and community homes located
just east of the Los Angeles River, in Boyle Heights between the years
2007-2015, where many attempts by the city to displace the residents were
challenged by its residents.
*If We Are Wyvernwood* (2011, color, sound, 7:31) acts as a plea to those
outside of the community to save their neighborhood, *Wyvernwood: The
Garden City* (2019, color, sound 69:45) acts as a self-contained reflection
on passing time with a living community in their everyday lives, blossoming
into a profound rumination about what it means to participate in and be
part of a community. Robles quietly but firmly asks the viewer if they can
“show up” to the discomfort of the colloquial, creating a portal into the
very real experiences of people in Los Angeles living outside of the
culture of individualism.
This is the first screening in a two-part series of films about Wyvernwood.
The second screening will feature a collection of shorts from Diego and
other collaborators, with a focus on members within the Wyvernwood
Community.
Guests: Diego Robles, Filmmaker and Roberto Mojica, Resident of Wyvernwood
and member of Comité de la Esperanza
This program is supported by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, the Department of Cultural
Affairs, City of Los Angeles, and the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts.
We also depend on our members, ticket buyers, and individual donors.
