*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.

*UNTITLED*
by Kathy Acker & Alan Sondheim, 1974, 55 min, video

“This black-and-white video [often referred to as *BLUE TAPE*, though that
title was applied only later] depicts a sexually explicit, emotionally
charged, and psychologically fraught encounter between a
twenty-six-year-old Acker and a thirty-one-year-old Sondheim that took
place over the course of a 48-hour period in Sondheim’s NYC loft. [It]
opens with a close-up shot of Acker as she recounts her initial meeting
with Sondheim several weeks prior and the subsequent unfolding of events
leading to the making of the work, including her practice of ‘memory
experiments,’ intended to ‘break through memory to desire.’ With the camera
framed tightly on Acker, Sondheim reads aloud a text she sent to him in
advance of their second meeting in which she ascribes to him the role of
her father, whom she never met. The text, and Sondheim’s out-of-view
recitation, set the stage for the exchange (of ideas, of roles, of pleasure
and its lack, of fluids) we bear witness to over the next 55 minutes.” –JOAN

Followed by:
*UNTITLED (TAPE 2)* by Kathy Acker & Alan Sondheim, 1974, 33 min, video
The day after recording the video piece that has come to be known as *BLUE
TAPE* (but which was never intended to have a title), Sondheim and Acker
made a second, related tape. Commenting on and structured after the first,
it similarly documents a charged intellectual and sexual encounter but with
Sondheim and Acker’s roles reversed. This tape had never been screened in
the U.S. until we showed it at Anthology as part of our Wilhelm
Reich-themed film series this past March!

Total running time: ca. 95 min.

*OPTRONICA3*
BECKER + 99 HOOKER + RE-MIXERS
Our third iteration of the season's Optronicas is more
about video/performance and re-mixing, with a couple of the
country's heaviest hitters. Local hero Tommy Becker has finally readied his
long-form *Elective ART* performance, an energized video
song-cycle about Tommy's experiences as a high school Art teacher. AND the
second half is anchored by the nationally touring 99 Hooker, who reveals
his new *h9sh*, another crowning achievement by way of
quick-cutting live-laptop action. Between the two titans is an *assemblage* of
classic video cut-ups: Animal Charm, EBN, Rodney Ascher, Vicki Bennett/PLU,
and Davy Force/Gerald Casale in their breaking music video. PLUS Soda_Jerk,
both old and new! Come early for Russ Forster on sidewalk theremin!

*COLECCIÓN PRIVADA: THE SUPER-8 AND 16MM SCENE IN SPAIN*
In the last fifteen years, Spanish cities have seen the flourishing of
heterogeneous communities devoted to maintaining analog film culture.
Through material exchange, mutual influence, informal screenings, and
friendship, three generations of filmmakers intermingle in Madrid,
Barcelona, and San Sebastian in an extraordinary moment for Spanish poetic
cinema. These programs survey the output of 23 filmmakers who continue to
work in 16mm and Super-8, cultivating a cinema in tension with the
quotidian in a drive to capture or conjure experience. The series will also
encompass an expanded cinema program which will take place at the Museum of
the Moving Image; for more details visit:
https://movingimage.us/event/coleccion-privada/
<https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=e373ad22dc&e=857b71a9cb>

This series is presented with generous support from Elías Querejeta Zine
Eskola (EQZE), the Martin Scorsese Department of Cinema Studies, the NYU
Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program, the Orphan Film Symposium,
and the Cultural Department of the Consulate General of Spain. A reception
is provided courtesy of Bodegas Williams & Humbert. The screenings will be
presented in person by guest-curators Francisco Algarín Navarro and Carlos
Saldaña, from Revista Lumière.

All prints courtesy of the filmmakers.

--- May 13 @ 7:30pm ET - COLECCIÓN PRIVADA: PROGRAM 1: FREE VERSE ---
With filmmakers Juan Bufill, Blanca García, and Jorge Suárez-Quiñones Rivas
in person.

Daily life, travel diaries, representation of self, portraiture, and
subjective perception are threads that run through this first program on
recent Spanish lyrical cinema, covering an array of genres and editing
strategies. While featuring some experiments with montage, most filmmakers
explore in-camera editing in unique ways, ranging from an improvisatory
connection with a specific time and place to intricate versifications of
the real.

All films are screened in their original analog formats and most are
presented in their reversal originals for this rare occasion, including
five world premieres and eight North American premieres.

--- May 14 @ 7:30pm ET - COLECCIÓN PRIVADA: PROGRAM 2: SPECIES OF SPACES ---
With filmmakers Valentina Alvarado Matos and Juan Bufill in person.

This second program on recent Spanish lyrical cinema showcases filmmakers
who work with visual concepts, preconceived camera devices, and objectual
mise-en-scène. Based on body gestures, transformations of matter,
philosophical writings, landscape, architecture, and the “maneuverable”
possibilities of the camera, these works offer a heterogeneous take on
modern explorations in analog film.

All the films in this program are screened in their original formats
(including a 16mm double-projection). Most are presented in their reversal
originals for this rare occasion, including five world premieres and five
North American premieres.

*MILLENNIUM FILM JOURNAL NO. 77: RIFTS (SPRING 2023)*
MFJ 77 "RIFTS” covers a swath of current artists’ moving image territory,
including eight reviews of recent works, a dossier by MFJ editors and
advisory board members focused on the 2022 New York Film Festival’s
Currents sidebar, Cathy Rogers’ unique Artist Pages, and a trio of
full-length articles on major international artists’ films and videos. For
the Anthology program we have selected a diverse variety of works
addressing major issues, but invariably obliquely – as is to be expected in
our constantly changing field.

Programmed by Jonathan Ellis & Grahame Weinbren. All film descriptions are
excerpted from Millennium Film Journal No. 77. MFJ 77 is published by the
Millennium Film Workshop, which gratefully acknowledges support for the
Millennium Film Journal by the following individuals and organizations:
Deborah and Dan Duane; Walter and Karla Goldschmidt Foundation; New York
State Council on the Arts; and Anonymous Donors.

Jacques Perconte *BEFORE THE COLLAPSE OF MONT BLANC / AVANT L’EFFONDREMENT
DU MONT BLANC* 2021, 16 min, digital
“Perconte produces artworks that no longer represent ‘objects’ but rather
show the inherent lines of force, agency, and movement within the natural
landscape and the political dimension of humanity’s influence on the
velocity of that movement.” –Megan Phipps, “Circuit-Bending Psychedelic
Transcendentalism”

Andre Demirjian *WE SEND OUR SIGNAL* 2021, 2 min, digital
“The Nunnery Gallery comprises a screening room connected to an arched
hallway no bigger than 20’ x 8’. Any indication that this was once the site
of Christian rituals has been stripped, its walls painted pure white in
gallery tradition. Appearing in a space once occupied by Christ on the
cross, Demirjian’s futuristic documentary projected a newer, more pressing
kind of premonition that feels contemporary and dystopian all at once.”
–Elizabeth Lowe, “Signal”

Simon(e) Jaikiriuma Paetau & Natalia Escobar *ARIBADA* 2022, 30.5 min,
digital
“... follows Las Traviesas, a group of indigenous trans women from the
Emberá people in Colombia. […] The film crackles with the noise of the
forest – cicadas, branches cracking, leaves rustling. The women discuss how
their indigenous communities are generally not welcoming to trans women.
But the importance of finding a pathway towards acceptance on their own
terms is clear: ‘Daughter, do not leave our culture behind, we can still
fight for our own identity.’” –Camila Galaz, “Field Trips”

Eva Giolo *THE DEMANDS OF ORDINARY DEVOTION* 2022, 12 min, 16mm-to-digital
“The omnipresence of 16mm film, both in the texture of the images and the
diegetic appearance of the Bolex, demonstrates Giolo’s commitment to the
particularly tactile process of analog filmmaking. Beautifully filmed,
impeccably edited, Giolo’s latest vibrates with the substance of life,
labor, joy, and uncertainty.” –Vincent Warne, “Ordinary Devotion”

Sophia Al-Maria *TIGER STRIKE RED* 2022, 23 min, digital
“... seethes like water droplets on a hot frying pan. It is elegantly
photographed, seamlessly edited cinema, best understood as a cry of despair
and a roar of anger, its power not a catalog of past atrocities but an
expression of reactions to them. At the same time, like a bibliography, the
film directs a viewer to historical events, most of them accessible in a
couple of clicks.” –Grahame Weinbren, “Beyond So-Called Documentary"

Total running time: ca. 90 min.

Marcel Hanoun: *UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE*, 1958, 64'
"...comes across as a document, as a clinical statement on reality. And I
insist on the word 'clinical.' Marcel Hanoun presents a film where the
suspense does not come from the social aspect of the heroine's
misadventures, but rather from their pathological aspect. Marcel Hanoun's
originality is to have been able to not only describe a dramatic situation,
but also to elaborate a woman's character. That's why I like this film." -
Jean-Luc Godard

*Jennifer West film title poem & short films*
Presented in partnership with Radius Books

Book Launch, Screening and Conversation with Chelsea Weathers and Andy
Campbell

Californian artist Jennifer West works at the intersection between two
technological paradigms, in a space she calls “analogital” (a contraction
of “analogue” and “digital”). In 2016, she completed a monumental film
entirely dedicated to movie title cards called *Film Title Poem*, made on
35mm film, hand etched and painted and transferred to a digital format,
which is composed of images of patterns and glitches from over 500 film
credits sorted alphabetically. Inspired by Victor Burgin’s essay *The
Remembered Film* (2004), West’s feature film investigates the way in which
fiction works its way into our memories, but also demonstrates how our
viewing experience has changed with digital technology.

Presented on 16mm film:
*Whatever Film* (2007, color, silent, 16mm, 4 min 11 sec)
*Salt Crystals Spiral Jetty Dead Sea Five Year Film* (2013, color, silent,

*Ruins*
(by Jesse Lerner, B & W 16mm, 78 min., 1999)
Surveying representative moments from the history of Mesoamerican
antiquarianism, this experimental documentary suggests how diplomacy and
Pan-Americanism framed the recontexualization of archeological objects as
art. Part faked newsreel, part diffusionist rant, Ruins uses appropriated
sounds and images to contemplate a history of appropriated objects. The
film visits with Brigido Lara, master forger, and suggests parallels
between the documentary film and the fake.

*DONNA ROSEBUD by JP Somersaulter (Presented by Chicago Filmmakers and the
Chicago Film Archives)*
USA, 1986, 80m, a feature-length live action film made by animator JP
Somersaulter in 1986. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the
filmmaker moderated by Kat Sachs of Cine-File.

"You have just entered the world of Donna Rosebud. Here, there is no such
thing as death. You can change your age as often as you change your
clothes. Donna is the mayor, a doctor, an athlete, a musician, a chemist, a
lawyer, a philosopher, and a mother of seven. She has a lover named
Alonzo... seven men in one. Donna's world is ideal, but she's been having
bad dreams — and we're in them."

Along with his partners Lillian and Michael Moats, JP created a bundle of
highly imaginative, award-winning animation films geared towards children
and adults alike. Donna Rosebud took creative shape during the early 1980s
when JP was on his own, premiering at the Music Box Theatre in 1987. JP,
Lillian, and Michael will all be in attendance for the post-screening Q&A.

JP, Lillian, and Michael will soon be leaving their homes in the United
States for various abodes in Europe. We will miss them, but are happy that
they'll still have a presence with the Chicago Film Archives: they are
leaving all of their work here, in CFA’s care.

Please be sure to arrive 15 minutes prior to showtime and be ready to
present your order confirmation number for admission. Masks are strongly
recommended, but not required.

*Screening Experimental Films by Andrew Noren and James Herbert*
"In 1981, Laurence Kardish programmed *Of Light and Texture* at the Museum
of Modern Art, a dual exhibition of Andrew Noren and James Herbert’s films.
Today, community curator Paul Attard will present a new screening of
*Cantico* by Herbert and *Imaginary Light* by Noren, serving as a
well-overdue survey of two seminal and long-neglected 16mm masters who, by
their own choosing, have nearly vanished from the public’s consciousness
since that exhibition. By 1989, Noren had withdrawn all of his films from
the Film-Makers’ Cooperative and rarely screened any new work up until his
death in 2015. Since 2007, Herbert has focused his attention towards large
scale painting. While both dabbled with digital technologies during the
2000s, the two films that will be shown at the Library for the Performing
Arts are presented on pristine celluloid: 1994’s *Imaginary Light* and
1982’s *Cantico*.

Disregarding the many technical merits both films have going for them—their
intense ethereal beauty and rigorous formal qualities aside—there’s also a
question of rarity here with this screening: there is, quite literally,
nowhere else in the world where one can see both of these films in direct
conversation with one another."

*ARCHIVE FEVER2*
PRELINGER: FILM: THE LIVING RECORD OF OUR MEMORY
We are over the moon to have snagged the NorCal debut of this major
international doc, especially since one of its principal interviewees, Rick
Prelinger, is here in-person to introduce it!
A Spanish-Canadian co-production, Inés Toharia Terán's epic two-hour
overview automatically becomes thee up-to-date 'bible' on arguably the most
critical cinematic practice of our particular time: film archiving! The
cast of interview subjects includes B. Morrison, D. Streible, J. Mekas, K.
Loch, K. Brownlow, M. Toscano, M. Scorsese, S.Bromberg, and many others!
They explain what film preservation is and why it is needed. Our
protagonists are custodians of film whose work behind the scenes safeguards
the survival of motion pictures. Note: tonight there's no first
half/intermission, but come early for pre-show pieces  on Rick himself,
on Stephen Parr's Oddball Films, and on proto-cinema (16mm!)
