32 Second Avenue, New York, NY
*MARGARET TAIT / LUKE FOWLER*
*BEING IN A PLACE – A PORTRAIT OF MARGARET TAIT* finds one of Scotland’s
preeminent contemporary experimental filmmakers, Luke Fowler (whose
extensive body of work includes the film cycle *A GRAMMAR FOR LISTENING*, *ALL
DIVIDED SELVES*, and *ELECTRO-PYTHAGORAS*, among many others) paying
tribute to one of the most illustrious of his Scottish forebears, the great
Margaret Tait, whose work is still not sufficiently celebrated here in the
U.S.
Tait’s path to the cinema was an unusual one: her initial training was in
medicine, and she practiced both abroad with the Royal Army Medical Corps
during WWII and back in the UK in the late 1940s. But she had also, in the
immediate postwar period, studied at the Centro Sperimentale film school in
Rome. And eventually, in the early 1950s, she began making her own films,
which span or combine short-form documentary, family portraiture,
impressionistic experimental filmmaking, and animation. Her unconventional
path – as well as her parallel identity as a writer of poetry and short
stories – is reflected in her cinema, which is distinctly noncommercial,
personal, and lyrical. Her body of work is also proudly local: making more
than thirty films during her lifetime, Tait focused intently on the
landscapes, people, and stories of Scotland, and in particular of the
Orkney islands, where she was born.
On the occasion of a visit to NYC from Luke Fowler in April, we’ll be
screening his invaluable portrait film, *BEING IN A PLACE*, as well as a
program of his own recent short films. Later in the month, we’ll host the
filmmaker Ute Aurand, who introduced Tait’s work to audiences in Germany in
the mid-1990s, and visited the artist herself in Orkney before her death.
Following on from her presentations at the Harvard Film Archive in
mid-April, Aurand will present two programs of Tait’s work here at
Anthology.
Very special thanks to Ute Aurand and Luke Fowler; and to Haden Guest &
Alexandra Vasile (Harvard Film Archive); Hanan Coumal (LUX); Angelika
Ramlow (Arsenal – Institut für Film und Videokunst); and Calum Sutherland
(The Modern Institute).

*BILL MORRISON SPECIAL EXHIBITION*
As part of the monthly experimental film series FrameWorks, Bill Morrison
will be in South Korea to introduce *Dawson City Frozen Time *(April
24) along with a retrospective of his films at the Seoul Art Cinema April
24-28, 2024. Frameworks was started in 2022 as an initiative of Pip
Chodorov and film programmers Seonguk Kim and Sukyun Kim.
Bill Morrison, who utilizes the found footage technique of excavating,
restoring, cutting and pasting old and worn-out film and (re)editing it
cinematically, is one of the most important auteurs of our time. Bill
Morrison, who began his career in visual art and animation, was fascinated
by the corrosion and decomposition of old nitrate film and the incredible
visual effects created by the layering of chemical compounds in old
archival images. Since 1990, he has been creating an experimental film
focusing on the physical properties of the film medium. I've been working
on it. Bill Morrison's film, which uses archival footage, reveals the
formative and poetic characteristics of images contained in deteriorated
film. He shows that celluloid film, like our bodies, is a fragile and
ephemeral medium and can deteriorate in countless ways.
Bill Morrison's 'Archive Film' places us in front of the slow and fleeting
traces of time inherent in film. His archaeological work explores the
history and memory contained in analog film and the impact that corroded
film images have on our senses. Bill Morrison's films are also known for
combining rare archival footage with contemporary music. *Decasia* (2002)
with Michael Gordon, *Miner's Hymn* (2011) with Johann Johansson, *The
Flood* (2013) with guitarist and composer Bill Frisell, and Philip Glass
and Steve Reich. Collaborations with top musicians such as , Kronos Quartet
and Alex Somers are another key element of his work. In this special
exhibition, a total of 15 films will be screened, including long and short
films such as his representative works *Dawson City: Frozen Time* (2016)
and *Decasia* (2002). In addition, on April 24th (Wednesday), director Bill
Morrison will visit Seoul Art Cinema to have a conversation with the
audience, and on the 27th (Saturday), critic Youngbin Kwak will conduct a
cinetalk.

11am - 10pm KST (UTC+9),
Busan Cinema Center, Busan, South Korea
*Prism, Beyond Cinema, Busan short film festival*
Combining the theme of cinema and reality with the guest country of Italy,
this year’s Prism program focuses on found footage, the practice of
recycling old images to make new meanings. Experimental cinema in Italy has
often used found footage and reanimated photographs as a starting point to
make personal, poetic or political statements.
*Prism 1, The Cinema of Reality,* demonstrates how the medium of film can
represent the world around us. These four films create striking visual
impressions of the real world, manipulating reality through techniques of
the camera or in post-production, creating altogether new realities.
Bill Morrison, *Vigneti*, 1996
Roberto Nanni, *Lontano Ancora*, 1983-2008
Giovanni Puggioni, *Quattro Staggioni*, 1999
Gianni Castagnoli, *La nott'e'l giorno*, 1976
*Prism 2, The Reality of Cinema*, shows the medium for what it really is,
not a window into the world but as a strip of celluloid projected onto a
flat screen. These five films use found footage as a starting point,
allowing these images to tell different stories, or even to completely
break down the cinematic illusion.

*RE-MIX SATIRIX*
SODA JERK: *HELLO DANKNESS* + CULT JAMS
The two Australian siblings--and long-time OC comrades--who make up Soda
Jerk are arguably thee finest remix makers on the planet, and now they have
scored a huge international cinema hit with this
jaw-dropping found-footage fable taking the form of a suburban
stoner musical! Through genius editing strokes, mischievous rotoscoping,
and masterful VFX wizardry, they have managed to concoct a
multi-award-winning (Berlinale!) ”compilation narrative” that is in fact
stitched together from almost a thousand Hollywood movie samples, mostly
from the miserable milieu leading up to and during the Trump presidency.
Their seamless, insanely clever montage conjures up a critical--and
comic!--psychotropic spectacle that follows an American neighborhood as
consensus reality disintegrates into conspiracy, culture wars, and zombie
revolution. Opening the evening is a set of provocative shorts by Vicki
Bennett, Animal Charm, and The Simpsons that similarly satirize US values
and mythologies.

*EC: O’NEILL / RICHTER / SHARITS*
Pat O’Neill *SAUGUS SERIES* 1974, 19 min, 16mm
This series is actually seven short films, united by a common soundtrack.
Each is an evolving “still life” made up of meticulously assembled but
spatially contradictory elements.
“*SAUGUS SERIES* exhibits the possibilities of the optical printer with
considerable self-confidence and élan. The colors are deeply saturated;
radically incompatible spaces are meticulously pieced together; moving
images are layered in front of each other or masked within ‘negative’
spaces outlined by the absence of an object; a multiplicity of textures and
densities and the dynamics of particles in turmoil enliven the imagery.”
–P. Adams Sitney, MILLENNIUM FILM JOURNAL
Hans Richter *RHYTHMUS 21* 1921, 3 min, 35mm, silent
“Its content is essentially rhythm, the formal vocabulary is elemental
geometry, and the structural principle is counterpoint of contrasting
opposites.” –Standish Lawder
Hans Richter *TWO PENNY MAGIC / ZWEIGROSCHENZAUBER* 1929, 2 min, 16mm
Produced as a commercial for a German illustrated magazine, this film is an
experiment with visual rhymes.
Hans Richter *EVERYTHING REVOLVES, EVERYTHING TURNS / ALLES DREHT SICH,
ALLES BEWEGT SICH* 1929, 9 min, 16mm
“Richter’s unique and fascinating view of magic and cruelty in a carnival
side-show.” –Cecile Starr
Paul Sharits *N:O:T:H:I:N:G* 1968, 36 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology
Film Archives with support from the National Film Preservation
Foundation.“Based in part on the Tibetan Mandala of the Five Dhyani
Buddhas/a journey toward the center of pure consciousness (Dharma-Dhatu
Wisdom)/space and motion generated rather than illustrated/time-color
energy create virtual shape/in negative time, growth is inverse decay.”
–Paul Sharits
Paul Sharits *T,O,U,C,H,I,N,G* 1969, 12 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology
Film Archives. “Starring poet David Franks whose voice appears on the
soundtrack/an uncutting and unscratching mandala.” –Paul Sharits

Film at Lincoln Center - Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, Lincoln Center
for the Performing Arts, 144 W 65th St, New York, NY
*Seeing the City: Avant-Garde Visions of New York*
Film at Lincoln Center and The Film-Makers’ Cooperative present “Seeing the
City: Avant-Garde Visions of New York from The Film-Makers’ Cooperative
Collection and Beyond,” to be presented at FLC from May 3–7. The series
will feature a selection of films from The Film-Makers’ Cooperative catalog
and elsewhere that paint a unique portrait of the city, with many presented
on 16mm.
An iconic, oftentimes cliched, cinematic setting for hundreds of films, New
York has regularly played a starring role in the history of cinema.
Narrative films set in New York City are almost a subgenre unto themselves
and have received copious attention. Less well explored are visions of the
city anchored in exploration, experimentation, and subversive political
commitment. This set of programs offers a diverse and engaging introduction
to some of the scores of films in The Film-Makers’ Cooperative’s collection
(and beyond) that explore the city. From the lyrical evocations of the
anonymity of the crowd and mass transit, and a clutch of visionary works
examining the built environment, to sets of films exploring housing, the
lurking shadow of ever-encroaching gentrification, and works on specific
areas of the city, this selection gives an alternative vision of one of the
most filmed and photographed metropolises on earth.
Organized by Tom Day and Dan Sullivan. Tom Day would like to thank the
entire Film-Makers’ Cooperative team, especially interns Haley Aaskow,
Chris Stoddard, and Lucy Talbot Allen

Schreiner’s short Blue Transcendence (2022) and the world premiere of
Finkelstein’s feature Dirt. A series of video rituals, designed to connect
us to ancient networks and gateways to hidden knowledge, these films
celebrate video technology for its magickal potential. The program is 90
minutes and will be followed by a discussion with the artists.
*Blue Transcendence *(2022, 9 minutes, Erica Schreiner).
A montage of blue butterflies, a performance in blue, and time lapse of a
candle burning during a magical spell. The narration guides the audience
through a psychedelic experience, reflecting on real friendships and the
importance of being silly. Filmed by Erica Schreiner on her VHS camera in
her apartment.
*Dirt* (2024, 79 minutes, David Finkelstein, world premiere).
An extended poetic meditation on the American relation to the soil, and the
energies buried within it. Notions of “dirtiness” and “cleanliness” are
re-examined. Centuries of history, of conquering and re-conquering, lie
beneath our feet, and the return of the vanquished is inevitable. There has
also always been an alternative possibility, within the American landscape,
inspired by indigenous culture, of a more peaceful relationship with the
soil, the resting place of our ancestors.
A collage of poetic imagery, music, and invocatory language, the film
follows two men in a series of esoteric experiments. Their words take us to
unexpected landscapes, populated by revengeful toasters, flying fiddles, an
unusual game of tennis, and a mountaintop crowned with an electric guitar.
A postmodern video opera, *Dirt* bathes the viewer in music, language, and
visual spectacle.
ERICA SCHREINER is an experimental video and performance artist. Based in
New York City, she shoots on VHS, while performing before the camera. Erica
creates allegorical, ethereal video art that combines feminine and
anarchistic themes, ritual and sensuality. Manipulating existing objects,
or building sets to perform in and film, Erica creates surreal, intimate
worlds on VHS video, employing her clearly defined style. Schreiner has
completed more than 100 performative video art pieces, including two
feature films and several music videos. In 2021, Erica received a New York
City Artist Corps Grant for her second feature film, *The Special People*.
DAVID FINKELSTEIN is a Guggenheim Fellow in film/video. His video work has
been featured in numerous film festivals around the world and has won
awards at 28 of them. In 2013, he was an invited artist at the Traverse
Vidéo Festival in Toulouse, France. His two feature films premiered at New
Filmmakers in New York. He has had solo screenings of his films in Bilbao,
London, Porto, New York, Chicago, Portland, Austin, North Carolina,
Minnesota, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. His
work has been funded by The Fund for Creative Communities, The Field,
Movement Research, Meet the Composer, The Brooklyn Arts Exchange, BACA, and
other sources.

*FREE PALESTINE*
MALAS' THE DREAM + SALLOUM + SABA +
In collaboration with black hole cinematheque and from the river to the
sea collective, we present an evening of films in solidarity with
the Palestinian people and their struggle for liberation. Curated and
introduced by our righteous East Bay ally Tooth, tonight's program is built
around Mohammad Malas' 1987 film, *The Dream (Al-Manam)*, which centers
around interviews with Palestinians living in forced exile among the
refugee camps of Lebanon in the early years of the civil war and just prior
to the massacres of Sabra and Shatila. The film uniquely focuses on the
role that dreams play in the daily existence and struggles of the
inhabitants of the camps. The first half of the night's program--
featuring Jayce Salloum's 2003 film *untitled part 3b: (as if) beauty never
ends*, and Mary Jirmanus Saba's brand new film *Mahdi Amel: The Colonial
Mode of Production--*hopes to resonate further on *Al-Manam*'s dialectical
relationship between the multivalent concept of dreams (both as oneiric
visions and ideological ambitions) and the lived realities of those
subjected to the generational and ongoing trauma of displacement, war,
genocide, and cultural erasure, and their steadfast resistance in the face
of it all. Benefit for Palestine Children's Relief Fund.
