> “Everything I make is just an offering. I think of my work as a contribution to the histories of the Black diasporas and our powers of invention, survival and generativity.” —Cauleen Smith
> BAMPFA welcomes Los Angeles–based artist Cauleen Smith to present three programs of rarely shown short films and a screening of her seminal, recently restored feature Drylongso. Smith, one of the leading American artists of this generation, defies easy categorization. From multimedia installations to slide performances and a wide variety of films that move between genres, Smith creates nuanced portrayals of African diaspora culture and its troubled history in the United States, as well as the issues facing Black women in contemporary life, all in her distinctive voice. Unpredictable, witty, and always thought-provoking, Smith weaves “everyday possibilities of the imagination” into improvisational, jazz-inflected experiences that celebrate the freedom of creativity. Throughout her career, Smith has concentrated on short filmmaking and has created more than twenty short films since 1990. Ranging widely in style and drawing upon experimental film tradition, third world cinema, science fiction, and the music of Sun Ra and other great Black musicians, Smith’s short films are poetic experiences that subtly interweave narrative and personal and cultural themes. —Steve Anker

> Cauleen Smith and Brandi Thompson Summers in Conversation
> “An enduringly rich work of DIY filmmaking, Drylongso remains a resonant and visionary examination of violence (and its reverberations), friendship, and gender” (Film at Lincoln Center). “Drylongso, more than any other film I know, examines the physical space and toughened, often-ramshackle beauty of West Oakland. Smith thematizes the act of looking at the various spaces of Black Oakland through her protagonist Pica (Toby Smith), a photographer committed to the documentation of the most endangered urban species, the Black male, before his systematic elimination. Smith takes us from the upper-middle-class neighborhoods just off downtown to the run-down postindustrial zones of the port. In so doing, she generates inner-cityscapes whose rigorous depiction rivals the best of James Benning” (Michael Sicinski, Radical Light).

> Short Films: Black Echoes and Imperatives
> Cauleen Smith and Steve Anker in Conversation
> This is a program of ten films that weave together multiple styles into portraits of people and places, both real and imagined, from renowned activists and artistic visionaries to the filmmaker herself. Each can be seen as a brief chapter in a larger project: an ongoing exploration of many themes and concerns as expressed in Cauleen Smith’s own unmistakable voice. Evident throughout is Smith’s singular spontaneity and wit, a flow of haunting metaphors, and the courage to move seamlessly between different forms of film and video technology. The program includes one of Smith’s earliest and best-known films, Chronicles of a Lying Spirit (by Kelly Gabron) (1992); the poignant and elegiac Crow Requiem (2015); the redolent utopian testament Pilgrim (2017); and H-E-L-L-O (2014), which envisions a revived New Orleans through a series of musical street tableaux.

> Short Films: Epochal Cultures – Chicago and New Orleans
> Cauleen Smith and Steve Anker in Conversation
> Cauleen Smith portrays two vital Black urban cultures, Chicago and New Orleans, through several short fantasy and documentary films that are largely imbued with local music and that focus on creative personalities and locations vital to these great cities. Chicago is represented through selections from Smith’s The Way Out Is the Way Two (2012), a cycle of fourteen musical and philosophical pieces, including the astonishing interventionist Space Is the Place (A March for Sun Ra) (2011). Smith’s little-known, richly imaginative short feature The Fullness of Time (2008) is a poignant evocation of New Orleans during the time following Hurricane Katrina; it blends science fiction fantasy with musical street activism. The program begins with Smith’s recent film, My Caldera (2022).
