VAMPYR 1931-32, 70 minutes, b&w. In Danish with no subtitles. English
synopsis available. "Imagine that we are sitting in a very ordinary
room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse behind the door.
Instantly, the room we are sitting in has taken on another look. The
light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are physically the same.
This is because we have changed and the objects are as we conceive them.
This is the effect I wanted to produce in VAMPYR." –Carl Th. Dreyer

NEW ORLEANS: MUSIC IN EXILE
US 2006 Director: Robert Mugge Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath
devastated the legendary New Orleans music community. Music
documentarian Robert Mugge (GOSPEL ACCORDING TO AL GREEN, SAXOPHONE
COLOSSUS, DEEP BLUES) creates an emotional portrait of horror,
heartbreak and hope as the musicians who lived through the disaster pick
up the pieces and try to rebuild their lives. Performances and
interviews with New Orleans artists such as Dr. John, Cyril Neville,
Kermit Ruffin, Irma Thomas, The Iguanas, Cowboy Mouth and The ReBirth
Brass Band demonstrate how Katrina, broken levees, floods, looting,
black mold and their consequences wreaked havoc on music and life in
this colorful city. (117 min)

BOB MARLEY & FRIENDS
US 2005 Director: Saul Swimmer Swimmer's (CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH)
celebration of the life and art of the incomparable Bob Marley puts the
reggae master's music front and center, featuring rare concert footage
as well as outstanding performances of Marley compositions from a bevy
of contemporary talents. Along with vintage 70's performances of such
classics as "Buffalo Soldier," "I Shot the Sheriff," "War," "One Love,"
and "Redemption Song," Marley's son, Stephen, joins Wyclef Jean and
Lauryn Hill for a powerful rendition of "No Woman No Cry," while Sting,
Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen and Tracy Chapman perform an anthemic
"Get Up Stand Up." With additional performances by Ziggy Marley, Seal
and the late Peter Tosh, and featuring interviews with Marley
contemporaries like Bunny Wailer and legendary Miami deejay Clint
O'Neil, BOB MARLEY & FRIENDS offers an infectious celebration of
Marley's music and a powerful testament to his enduring legacy. (94 min)
Q & A with co-producer Mario Custodio will follow both screenings.

WHO IS HARRY NILSSON? (AND WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKIN' ABOUT HIM?)
US 2006 Director: John Scheinfeld Enigmatic singer-songwriter Harry
Nilsson was singled out by the Beatles as their favorite "group" and
regarded by songwriter Jimmy Webb as the greatest vocalist of the
twentieth century. Gifted with a remarkable three and-a-half octave
range, Nilsson won two Grammys and many Gold records, yet never cut his
music to fit mainstream fashion. From MIDNIGHT COWBOY'S "Everybody's
Talkin'" to love song classic "Without You," hair-raising rocker, "Jump
Into The Fire," or the whimsical "Me And My Arrow" from his animated
film, THE POINT, Nilsson's short and eclectic career was singular.
Scheinfeld's lively film celebrates his legacy with rarely seen footage
and interviews with a stellar group of his peers, including Micky
Dolenz, Eric Idle, Randy Newman, Yoko Ono, The Smothers Brothers, Robin
Williams, and Brian Wilson, among others. (90 min)

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: CARL TH DREYER
DAY OF WRATH / VREDENS DAG 1943, 100 minutes, b&w. In Danish with no
subtitles. English synopsis available. "Carl Dreyer's art begins to
unfold at the point where most other directors give up. Witchcraft and
martyrdom are his themes – but his witches don't ride broomsticks, they
ride the erotic fears of their persecutors. It is a world that suggests
a dreadful fusion of Hawthorne and Kafka." –Pauline Kael

long take, in which a man who believes he is Jesus Christ soon begins to
convince those around him. Based on the play by Kaj Munk, ORDET is a

THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS: BOUND TO LOSE
US 2006 Director: Sam Wainwright Douglas and Paul Lovelace From their
origins in New York's Greenwich Village folk scene in the 60s and their
involvement in the EASY RIDER soundtrack, to the lost years of constant
drugging, endless touring and a final shot at redemption, BOUND TO LOSE
recounts the unique 40-year history of true American originals. With
startling intimacy, Douglas and Lovelace document fiddler Peter Stampfel
and guitarist Steve Weber's arduous, amusing, and sometimes
heartbreaking struggle to capitalize on a late career resurgence in
popularity that culminated in an unpredictable 40th anniversary concert
here in Portland. More than just a chronicle of psychedelic folk rock
legends, BOUND TO LOSE is a raucous celebration of a lost American
outlaw subculture as it draws its final rebellious breaths. This warm,
funny story of friendship, growing older, and great music features
endearing appearances by playwright (and former Rounders drummer) Sam
Shepard, Dennis Hopper, John Sebastian of The Lovin' Spoonful, Peter
Tork of the Monkees, Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg of the Fugs, Loudon
Wainwright III, Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo, music editor Robert Christgau
of the "Village Voice," Wavy Gravy and many more. (87 min) The directors
will introduce the film For Both Screenings. Sponsored by Artichoke
Music.

TONIGHT LET'S ALL MAKE LOVE IN LONDON / THE BEACH BOYS IN LONDON
TONIGHT LET'S ALL MAKE LOVE IN LONDON BRITAIN 1967 Director: Peter
Whitehead Mods, mini skirts, topless models and music by, among many
others, The Pink Floyd, back when the band was the definite article.
Peter Whitehead's sexy, psychedelic record of the Swinging London scene
could be the documentary cousin of Antonioni's BLOW UP. A self-described
"Pop Concerto for Film," it captures a heady time when Britannia no
longer ruled the waves but Carnaby Street definitely ruled the music and
fashion worlds. Amid the pop art, pop music, paisley, anti-war protests
and painted naked ladies are appearances by Mick Jagger, Julie Christie,
Michael Caine, Lee Marvin (opining on mini skirts), Andrew Loog Oldham,
artists Alan Aldridge and David Hockney, and a bevy of sexually
liberated "dolly girls." One of the few filmmakers trusted within the
perfumed gardens of the 60s rock illuminati, Whitehead was allowed
unparalleled access into the center of the pop circle to capture the
moment for this dazzling, kaleidoscopic record from the very core of the
in-crowd." (70 min) with THE BEACH BOYS IN LONDON BRITAIN 1967 Director:
Peter Whitehead Whitehead's rare document of the Beach Boys' 1966 UK
Tour features the band at its peak, but with a missing Brian Wilson, in
Los Angeles to finish recording "Smile." (30 min)

ARTISTS SPACE PRESENTS: IN THE POEM ABOUT LOVE YOU DON’T WRITE THE WORD
LOVE IN THE POEM ABOUT LOVE YOU DON’T WRITE THE WORD LOVE
Anthology Film Archives presents a film/video series as part of Artists
Space's exhibition IN THE POEM ABOUT LOVE YOU DON'T WRITE THE WORD LOVE.
This project brings together works by several generations of artists and
filmmakers whose practices engage – in tacit and explicit ways – the
overwhelming media culture in which we live. Displacement is a seam that
emerges and retreats through more than 30 works: a selection of film and
video installations, sculptures, paintings, drawings, collages, and
photographs. These works demonstrate a fundamental incompleteness,
deferring any sense of a true image, reinforcing the confused neurotic
state between entities, and challenging the status of the "visual." The
film/video series being presented at Anthology will feature screenings
on a weekly basis on Mondays at 7:30 from January 8 – February 12. This
series takes as its starting point the distinction that the great French
film critic Serge Daney made between the "image" and the "visual."
Daney's distinction refers to an "image" that can critically challenge
and destabilize predominant models of information, resisting the "purely
technical," that which is nothing other than the verification that
something functions. How, asked Daney, can contemporary art fracture the
dominant model of the visual and its thoughtless circulation? What kind
of audience can it address or mobilize? What form of community can it
suggest? The works included in this series attempt to grapple with these
questions, staging, through various strategies of dislocation or
slippage, an unsettling tension that challenges visual conventions in an
increasingly mediated culture. PROGRAM 1: Alexander Kluge THE BLIND
DIRECTOR (1986, 113 min, 16mm, b&w/color) The Blind Director (otherwise
known more appropriately as The Present Versus The Rest of Time)
addresses audiovision at its most basic level. The viewer is placed in
the position of having to discover over and over his/her eagerness to
consume a story and to be consumed by it. Kluge laments the notion that
there is practically only one image that we can relate to, one story,
one line of continuity. He effectively transforms our viewing experience
by laying bare the devices of cinema, repeatingly forcing us to face the
conditions by which technologically mediated modes of narrative and
continuity have been absorbed and naturalized, in turn actively
impelling us to challenge information and mediation, within an
impossible present time.

KEITH JARRETT - THE ART OF IMPROVISATION
BRITAIN 2005 Director: Mike Dibb Pianist Keith Jarrett is one of jazz's
true stars, an artist whose interests and influences range from ethnic
and folk music to Bach, Mozart, Stravinsky and Samuel Barber.
Contrasting his boundary blurring immersion in the worlds of jazz and
classical music, Mike Dibb's (THE MILES DAVIS STORY) incisive portrait
explores, through a collage of interviews and great archival film, the
complete range of Jarrett's life and work and the numerous musical
greats he has played with over the years. Among the many contributors
are Chick Corea, Steve Cloud, Charlie Haden, Jan Garbarek, Gary Burton
and many others. (85 min)

film is an alchemical allegory set in the Highlands of Scotland in which
a filmmaker reviews his brief movie career while his girlfriend explores
the countryside alone. Along with appearances by David Hockney and John
Lennon, Whitehead incorporates footage from some of his previous films
to fashion a coda to era. (90 min) with THE PINK FLOYD: LONDON 1966/67

extraordinary resort-set comedy of crossdressing and confusion.

ditty he wrote called "Vowel Movement." Such moments have made Pancake
Mountain the coolest TV booking in rock." –Luke Zaleski, G.Q. Magazine
"A sort of slapstick "Sesame Street" that combines "Pee-wee's Playhouse"
silliness with the inspired lunacy of "Monty Python's Flying Circus,"
the program also boasts an ultra-hip and ever-expanding musical guest
list."-Joe Heim, Washington Post
