Brooklyn, New York: Ocularis
http://www.ocularis.net
7 PM, 70 North 6th Street
I AM NOT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER BY LYNNE SACHS
I AM NOT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER is a cinematic presentation and talk
exploring my decade-long artistic rather than physical immersion in war.
From Vietnam to Bosnia to WWII Occupied Rome to the Middle East today,
my experimental documentary films push the borders between genres,
discourses, radicalized identities, psychic states and nations through
the intertwining of abstract and reality based imagery. In my talk, I
will introduce precise visual strategies I have discovered in working
with these fraught and divisive themes. Often opting for a painterly
rather than a photographic articulation of conflict, I struggle with
each new project to find a precise language of images and sounds with
which to discuss these volatile moments in history, exposing what I see
as the limits of a conventional, documentary representation of both the
past and the present. Infusions of colored "brush strokes" catapult a
viewer into contemporary Vietnam. Floating drinking glasses moving
across a Muslim cemetery in Sarajevo evoke a wartime without water.
Pulsing, geometric mattes suspended in cinematic space block news
footage of a bombing in Tel Aviv. These and many other examples form my
visual approach to looking at trauma, painful memory, and conflict. By
using abstraction we are not avoiding graphic realism but rather
unpeeling the outer, more familiar layer, hoping to reveal something new
about perception and engagement in cinema. (Lynne Sachs)

scholars such as Gregory Bateson, while also writing plays, screenplays
and film reviews (alongside Pauline Kael). Films include: Kees's
haunting portrait of East Bay urban detritus, Hotel Apex; William
Heick's poetic Golden Gate meditation, The Bridge, made with and
featuring Kees; James Broughton's The Adventures of Jimmy, with music by
Kees; and examples of Kees' educational films: the quirky exploration of
mundane routines on San Francisco streets, Approaches and Leavetakings

MOOD ALTERATIONS
The MadCat Women's International Film Festival makes a pit stop in
Brooklyn with these alternately loving and disturbing 16mm portraits
from Austria, France, Germany, Mexico and the US. Filmmakers use
editing, optical printing and camera movement (or lack there of) to
create an ethnographic study of Romania, a musical peek at a girl on the
verge of puberty and a pulsating found footage bonanza, among other
stories. ? Work to be screened: don't leave without news, Christine

ciudad), ?Angela Reginato, 4 min, 2005; Picture Again, Linda

London, England: Ocatillo Arts Group
7.00pm, The Gallery, 77 Cowcross Street
EXPLODING THE FRAME - LANDSCAPE IN CONTEMPORARY FILM
______________________________________OCATILLO ARTS GROUP IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE LANDSCAPE AND ARTS NETWORK OCATILLO PRESENTS: EXPLODING THE
FRAME - LANDSCAPE IN CONTEMPORARY FILM Most films involve some sort of
human interaction. What happens when this interaction is with the
landscape? Editing patterns, camera angles, camera distances, framing,
which are largely based on the ways we interact with others, are
exploded. Here these human-based methods are totally re-configured, and
music and sound take on a new level of equality with the visual. In this
international selection of films, urban and rural landscapes, as natural
as each other, are projected directly into the eyes and ears of the
audience, a stream of ideas and impulses uninterrupted by the dominant
presence of others. After highly successful screenings at the Utopia
Film Festival, Maryland, and at the Nowuno Gallery in Washington DC,
Ocatillo returns to London for this event, in association with the
Landscape and Arts Network. 7pm, Tuesday 13th June, The Gallery, 77
Cowcross Street, London EC1, Ө Farringdon, Entry £4, LAN and
Ocatillo members: £2. Early booking advised
email suppressed 0208 446 6849 Directions: go through the
archway at No 77 Cowcross Street, and The Gallery is at the end of the
courtyard on the right. Two minutes from Farringdon tube station.

Director Henry Ferrini In Person, West Coast Premiere! From postman's
son to Postmodernism's founding father, and from schooner fisherman to
scholar, this hulking six-foot eight Harvard-educated historian drifts
back to the hard-luck New England fishing port of his boyhood summers
after the 1956 close of Black Mountain College. There, surrounded by the
cruel poverties and sorrows of a town at war with the sea for over 300
years, Charles Olson creates a unified and transcendent vision of a
besieged people caught between tradition and modernity. Featuring John
Malkovich, Amiri Baraka, Jonathan Williams, Anne Waldman, Diane di
Prima, Ed Sanders, Pete Seeger, and others, Polis is This investigates
the seminal avant-garde poet, Charles Olson, in conjunction with his
enduring connection to his place and origin of inspiration, Gloucester,
Massachusetts. Presented in Association with The Poetry Center at San
Francisco State University. ADMISSION: $8 General, $5 Cinematheque
