*AFTERIMAGE: COUNTER CINEMA, RADICAL CINEMA*
“This series of screenings celebrates the publication by The Visible Press
of “The Afterimage Reader”, a selection of editorials, essays, interviews,
and filmmakers’ statements from the British film journal Afterimage, which
was published irregularly between 1970 and 1987. Afterimage was founded on
the principle of an on-going commitment to avant-garde cinema, to radical
cinema, to ‘new’ cinema understood both aesthetically and politically.

Afterimage emphasized the importance of the writings of filmmakers
themselves. Over 13 issues, alongside critical essays by important critics
such as Noël Burch, B. Ruby Rich, and Regina Cornwell, it published
manifestoes, scripts, theoretical texts, polemical essays from filmmakers
Jean-Luc Godard, Glauber Rocha, Julio García Espinosa, Hollis Frampton,
Paul Sharits, Peter Wollen and Laura Mulvey, Malcolm Le Grice, Yvonne
Rainer, Raúl Ruiz, Stephen Dwoskin, Jan Švankmajer, and many others, as
well as by important precursors for a radical cinema like Dziga Vertov and
Jean Epstein. Special issues were devoted to Michael Snow and to Derek
Jarman. Each publication was effectively a special issue around a theme or
filmmaker.

Presenting this series at Anthology Film Archives offers the opportunity to
acknowledge how indebted Afterimage was to Film Culture magazine. It was a
model for us of a partisan publication that came to be deeply committed to
the promotion and representation of the New American Cinema and its rich
avant-garde manifestations of the 1960s and 1970s.

Afterimage similarly prided itself on its design. So just as important was
our admiration of the handsome issues of Film Culture designed by Fluxus
founder George Maciunas. As a consequence of this influence every issue of
Afterimage had a distinctive and different design with title pages and
full-bleed images.

If the first six issues circled around the ‘two avant-gardes’ and debates
in cinema theory, later issues continued the commitment to new, radical
cinema but also considered ‘neglected’ works and figures, like *BORDERLINE* in
the past and – at the time of publication – Raúl Ruiz.

Toward the end of Afterimage’s run, new editorial energies steered us in
the direction of ‘troublesome cases’: first a festschrift on Derek Jarman,
then our final issue featuring the Quay Brothers, Švankmajer, Bokanowski,
and other visionary animators.” –Simon Field

“The Afterimage Reader” will be available at Anthology for a discounted
price during the series. For more details on this and other books from The

*SISTERS' PICTURES*
HUGHES + GRUFFAT + SACHS/WATERS/GUEVARA-FLANAGAN +
Utterly inspiring are the creative responses by US women artists--both
individually and collectively-- to last year's deplorable dismantling
of Roe Vs. Wade. Now, the opening half of our annual SisPix show is proud
enough to boast a diverse selection of resonant pieces from contemporary
female makers on a variety of women's issues, tho we're equally honored to
dedicate the evening's latter half to the initial group screening of
the Abortion Clinic Film Collective's righteous howls of rage! So, in the
first 40 mins. of (mostly) new work we'll be treated to Salise Hughes' *Big
Daddy Learns a Lesson (Essay)*, Sabine Gruffat's *Moving or Being
Moved*, Christina
Ibarra's *Dirty Laundry*, Kate Novack's *Hysterical Girl*, and more! Then
our second block sets out to amplify the angry voices and visions of of a
newly developing network of fierce feminists producing protest pieces to
rally our will to resist the retrograde forces raiding our hard-won rights.
Among that cadre is Lynne Sachs, Sasha Freyer Waters, Kristy
Guevara-Flanagan, Ray Rea, Doan Hoang Curtis, Kelly Gallagher, and Courtney
Stephens! $10-100 fund-raiser for the Ntl. Network of Abortion
Funds non-profit. Celebrate Women's History Month!

*CONNECTIVITY THROUGH CINEMA PRESENTS: PICTURE ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL A
PROGRAM OF WORKS ON FILM BY BRUNO DELGADO RAMO * IN PERSON**
Picture Enlarged To Show Detail consists of several works on film by Bruno
Delgado Ramo plus two site-specific cinema-based performances which ushers
in the event itself, pointing out the body dimension of film
presentation. *Expectation
In the Air* continues this reflection playing with the required conditions
for projection to show up. *Practicaje/Frame Lift* and *Unabridged Maneuver*
take up in-camera editing as a form of on-site investigation into several
harbouring areas conceived as technical spaces while examining the double
sense of manoeuvre as the material operations carried out with one’s hands
and the procedures on board when approaching a harbour.

Bruno Delgado Ramo is a filmmaker and artist-researcher who explores
site-specific features and incorporates them into his films and screening
arrangements. He devises his work as research grounded in material and
experimental practice of cinema means, leading to films, installations,
live proposals and text matter. His work has been internationally presented
at film festivals and art spaces.

The CONNECTIVITY THROUGH CINEMA series will present the work of artists,
film-makers and curators who are traveling or presenting special
interactive programs in-person. Our hope is to engage the community by
showing work with a focus on post-screening discussion. This series is made
possible by support from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA).

*KUXA KANEMA: THE BIRTH OF CINEMA*
After five hundred years of Portuguese colonial rule, Mozambique was one of
the last African countries to gain independence. President Samora Machel’s
first cultural act was to establish the National Institute of Cinema, which
produced weekly newsreels—Kuxa Kanema—for and about the people. Mobile
cinema units reminiscent of Aleksandr Medvedkin’s cine-trains, traveled
around the country to engage people with what it means to be free in an
independent nation. When filmmaker Margarida Cardoso visited the institute,
it was already in ruins, but she discovered newsreel footage in an
abandoned building. Interviews with filmmakers who were involved with the
institute—including Licínio Azevedo, Jose Cardoso, and Ruy Guerra—and
sequences from the newsreels bear witness to the birth of Mozambique’s
cinema in concert with the birth of the nation.

by Mary Helena Clark & Mike Gibisser, 2023, 78 min, DCP

SPECIAL SCREENINGS! FILMMAKERS IN PERSON!

In the wake of our February survey of Mary Helena Clark’s short films,
we’re delighted to follow up by showcasing the 2023 feature-length
collaboration between Clark and Mike Gibisser. *A COMMON SEQUENCE* examines
shifts of life and labor through a critically-endangered salamander and
plant patents in the apple industry. Weaving the stories of Dominican nuns
running a conservation lab, a group of fishermen attempting to live off of
a depleting lake, engineers developing AI-driven harvesting machines, and
an indigenous biomedical researcher resisting the commodification of human
DNA, the film becomes a meditation on the shifting border between the
natural and unnatural world, and the dynamics of power at play.

“Within the human struggle to live and work, and with the materials for
survival available for exploitation, seemingly foreign worlds are
intertwined in the modern battlefield of patents, ownership, and
colonialism. Delving into labor and science practices, *A COMMON
SEQUENCE* examines
who gets to work with the essentials of life – saving animals from
extinction, researching medicine, harvesting food, coding the genome – in
our modern world controlled by data. Clark and Gibisser take us to the
areas and people involved in these physical and political worlds with an
intuitive visual style, letting the audience experience each location’s
atmosphere. Take the achoque salamander, which can regenerate limbs and
even its heart, the intellectual property rights for apple trees, and the
commodification of human DNA. The film eloquently guides us through the
philosophy of what is ‘common’ to everyone in nature and the complicated
pursuits of owning materials of the planet and even our bodies, whether for
conservation or for sale.” –Mike Plante

*THIS ROOM IS NOTHING WITHOUT YOU - EXPERIMENTAL AND EXPANDED ANIMATION*
*This Room is Nothing Without You* is a program of experimental and
expanded animation works by Bay Area artists Meghana Bisineer, Lydia
Greer, Kathleen Quillian & Jeremy Rourke that was originally going to be
presented as part of Bay Area Now 9 cinema programming. In light of YBCA's
response to the eight BAN9 artists' *Love Letter to Gaza* protest action on
February 15, 2024, the collective has withdrawn from participating in
YBCA's programming and have instead decided to share the work and
conversations at Shapeshifters Cinema with proceeds going towards
humanitarian aid in Gaza.

The artists have also chosen to include short animations by Yasmeen
Abedifard and Ola Abdel Latif Barakat whose works both resonate with their
own and that also speak to critical issues of the day.

The program will conclude with a conversation between the artists and
curators Kathleen Maguire and Gina Basso.

“Peter Kubelka is the perfectionist of the film medium; and, as I honor
that quality above all others at this time finding such a lack of it now
elsewhere, I would simply like to say: Peter Kubelka is the world’s
greatest filmmaker – which is to say, simply: see his films!…by all

A giant of experimental animation, Len Lye was born in New Zealand in 1901.
He moved to England in the 1920s and subsequently to New York in 1944,
where he spent the last 40 years of his life. A pioneer of ‘scratch’ or
‘direct’ filmmaking, Lye used various tools to mark patterns, shapes, and
images directly onto the film’s surface, and often explored the dynamic
energy of abstract images propelled into life by lively jazz scores or
Pacific-inspired rhythms.

Total running time: ca. 60 min

*LUTHER PRICE: NEW UTOPIA AND LIGHT FRACTURE, REMEMBERING LUTHER PRICE I*
Presented in association with CounterPulse, Tara Merenda Nelson in person

In celebration of Visual Studies Workshop’s publication of *Luther Price:
New Utopia and Light Fracture*, Cinematheque is thrilled to welcome VSW’s
Tara Merenda Nelson to present the slide work of Luther Price. A related
program: *Remembering Luther Price II: Two Films by Tom Rhoads* will screen
at Shapeshifters Cinema, Oakland on Thursday, March 28.

Luther Price (1962–2020) was a filmmaker known for deeply personal and
aggressively visceral film work. His early Super-8 films (some made as
pre-Luther identity Tom Rhoads), including *Jellyfish Sandwich*, *Sodom*,
*Green* and *Warm Broth*, enacted primal domestic psychodramas and/or
probed the psychosexual extremes of physical experience while later 16mm
found footage and hand-painted film work was equally overwhelming in its
obsessive physicality. In the last decade of his life, Price created
breathtaking collages on 35mm slides, combining the techniques he had
mastered in his film works to culminate in single frame
compositions—“rotted slides, slides of hair and dust, slides of dead ants,
slides made from old strips of film, slides filled with colored sugar*”

Virtually unseen locally, Price’s stunning work with slides is documented
in Visual Studies Workshop’s *Luther Price: New Utopia and Light Fracture*,
a 2023 publication featuring copious images derived from the depths of
Price’s 35mm collages as well as intimate email correspondence from Price
to VSW editor Tate Shaw 2017–18 and an essay by Ed Halter of Light
Industry, Brooklyn. In celebration of this publication, Cinematheque is
thrilled to present two sets of Price’s double-projected slides — *New
Utopia* and *Light Fracture* (both 2017) and to welcome Visual Studies
Workshop’s Tara Merenda Nelson to speak on the publication, the slides and
on Price. Two Super-8 films by Price — *Clown* (1990–2002) and the infamous
*Sodom* (1989) — will also screen.
