7:00pm social hour; 8:00pm screening, Chicago Filmmakers (5243 N. Clark St.)

DYKE DELICIOUS SERIES - A FLORIDA ENCHANTMENT
  Tonight we go retro for what may be the first gender-bending film ever.
  A Florida Enchantment (1914, 63 mins., dir. Sidney Drew) is an
  extraordinary resort-set comedy of crossdressing and confusion.
  Frustrated by her fiancé's affairs with hotel maids, a New York heiress
  downs one of the magic seeds that change women into men. But after
  shaving her morning moustache, she exchanges ideas of revenge for the
  new-found pleasure of embracing other women!

PANCAKE MOUNTAIN 2007
  Created as an alternative to the formulaic kids' shows of today, Pancake
  Mountain is an all ages, independent cable access show with emphasis on
  music, comedy and most importantly fun. "..MTV could never dream up a
  show that once featured Fugazi god Ian MacKaye lip-syncing a kiddie
  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

YOKO ONO: NO. 4 (BOTTOMS)
   No. 4 (Bottoms), Yoko Ono (U.K., 1966). No. 4 (Bottoms) expands upon a
  five-minute film Ono made as a member of the Fluxus group. In the
  feature-length version, Ono filmed the naked buttocks of some 365
  subjects, walking in place, each for approximately fifteen seconds. The
  derrière-in-motion fills the frame; there is nothing else to look at.
  What is on the screen becomes resolutely what it is, and something
  abstract as well. The soundtrack consists of the wry comments of the
  models, who were recruited from among the London avant-garde community.
  "Your behind is defenseless" is both Ono's defense and her offense.
  Preceded by short: Becoming Academic Part II: Falling for Yoko (Dore
  Bowen, Cathy Lee Crane, U.S., 2002). A very funny video interview with
  Yoko Ono. (c. 20 mins, DVD, From the artist)

TOGETHER AGAIN: COLLECTIVELY CREATED COMPILATIONS
  Free to Be . . . You and Me Invitational, Curated by Thomas Beard, Nick
  Hallett (U.S., 2006). Thomas Beard in Person. Originally a concept
  album, Marlo Thomas's Free to Be . . . You and Me became a zesty icon of
  the revised cultural values emergent in the early seventies. The
  all-star cast, which included Mel Brooks, Roberta Flack, Tom Smothers,
  Dionne Warwick, and Michael Jackson, inspired candid quips about such
  touchy topics as self-image, divorce, race, and gender politics. No
  child of the seventies could be properly reared without exposure to this
  pop pep talk that was peppered with songs like "Boy Meets Girl,"
  "William Wants a Doll," and "Parents Are People." Upon discovering
  several 16mm copies of Free to Be . . ., curators Thomas Beard and Nick
  Hallett enlisted a bevy of none-too-bashful present and post-boomers to
  rework or restage the original's all-too-memorable segments. Just
  remember: it's alright to cry. The artists are: Peggy Ahwesh, Big Noise
  Films, Nao Bustamante, Tyler Coburn, Ben Coonley, Jason Cortlund and
  Julia Halperin, Ximena Cuevas, Bradley Eros, Michael Gitlin and
  Jacqueline Goss, Stephanie Gray and Kelly Spivey, Seth Kirby, Kent
  Lambert, Darrin Martin, Jennifer Matotek, Mighty Robot, Laura Parnes,
  Spencer Parsons, Lynne Sachs, Ray Sweeten, Joshua Thorson. Preceded by
  short: Mary Worth (U.S., 1998). A joint jest based on Mary Worth comics
  published between May 17 and June 13, 1998. Created collectively by
  Stephanie Barber, Pete Barrickman, Sara Boland, Tate Bunker, Theresa
  Columbus, Anna DiAntoni, Brent Goodsell, Yasuhiro Ikeguchi, Annie
  Killelea, Didier Leplae, Xav Leplae, Doug Schall, and Naomi Wyoming.

NEW FILMS BY KEN & AZA JACOBS: THE GOODTIMESKID
  7:00 KEN AND AZAZEL JACOBS Anthology is pleased to present premiere
  engagements of new feature-length films by two members of the
  unceasingly prolific and preternaturally talented Jacobs clan. From
  Essential Cinema stalwart and avant-garde luminary Ken Jacobs comes TWO
  WRENCHING DEPARTURES, a new video version of an earlier Nervous System
  projector performance-piece, while, representing the next generation of
  Jacobs (which also includes his sister and fellow filmmaker Nisi),
  Azazel follows his accomplished feature debut, NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW,
  with the equally wonderful THE GOODTIMESKID. Azazel Jacobs THE
  GOODTIMESKID A story about stolen love and stolen identities, shot on
  stolen film. 2005, 77 minutes, 35mm, color. Starring Sara Diaz, Gerardo
  Naranjo, Azazel Jacobs. "THE GOODTIMESKID is the relaxed and episodic
  story of two men with the same name who cross paths one day, and the
  girl [caught] between them who gets the chance to escape her daily
  routine. As their lives intertwine and unravel, they embark on a
  personal odyssey together, affected only by those they encounter along
  the way. Jacobs (NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW), son of avant-garde filmmaker Ken
  Jacobs, draws on influences from Jarmusch to his own father, but has an
  original voice, clear and resonant. He uses subtle shifts in sound and
  music, a voyeuristic camera and unexpected narrative jump cuts to create
  a unique vision of the people inhabiting the engaging universe he and
  his cohorts have created." –Shaz Bennett, AFI FEST 2005 "Minimalist to
  the max, THE GOODTIMESKID emerges as an absurdist and nearly wordless
  urban dance between two men and a woman over 24 hours in Los Angeles.
  Building his dry comedy out of a basic confusion of names, an Army
  recruitment slip and one man's curiosity, Jacobs creates a droll,
  meandering and defiantly uncommercial film…[he] is able to juggle his
  expression of love for the films of Chaplin, Jacques Rivette and Aki
  Kaurismäki along with a light-hearted application of sustained silences
  and barely articulated behavior." –Robert Koehler, VARIETY "In the
  spirit of the indie heyday, when names like Alex Cox, Stephen Frears,
  Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch were the currency of cinema's promise,
  comes Azazel Jacobs, hopefully the new bearer of the long-smoldering
  punk cinema torch. THE GOODTIMESKID is a wonderfully observant and
  comical character study made with nothing but pocket change and a love
  of movies." –hypersquared

KEN JACOBS TWO WRENCHING DEPARTURES
  Ken Jacobs TWO WRENCHING DEPARTURES 2006, 90 minutes, video, b&w, sound.
  In October 1989, estranged friends Bob Fleischner and Jack Smith died
  within a week of each other. Ken Jacobs met Smith through Fleischner in
  1955 at CUNY night school, where the three were studying camera
  techniques. This feature-length work, first performed in 1989 as a live
  Nervous System piece is a "luminous threnody" (Mark McElhatten) made in
  response to the loss of Jacobs' friends.

AUDIO VÉRITÉ PRESENTS: FRAMPTON/SNOW/BRAKHAGE
  AUDIO VÉRITÉ PRESENTS: FRAMPTON/SNOW/BRAKHAGE Audio Vérité is a regular
  Anthology series devoted to sonic cinema, imageless narratives and
  rarely-if-ever heard recordings. Audience members sit in the dark as
  they are regaled with sounds, words and aural pictures from yesteryear
  and today. Hollis Frampton will be on hand (on tape), along with
  artist/filmmaker Michael Snow in an interview recorded on March 8, 1973.
  Joyce Wieland instructs the projectionist "Play sound loud" for DRIPPING
  WATER, a collaboration with Snow (who elsewhere in the program will
  provide a musical interlude). Brakhage's UNNAMED #1 (FOR HOLLIS), a
  home-recorded monologue with musical selections recorded the evening
  that Frampton's death was announced rounds out our evening.

DUDLEY MURPHY, HOLLYWOOD WILD CARD
  Filmmaker Dudley Murphy (1897-1968) is so little known that he can't
  even claim cult status¬…yet. Join film-historian Susan Delson, author of
  Murphy's just-published biography, for a program of his early work,
  including the rarely screened but surprisingly sexy "visual symphony,"
  SOUL OF THE CYPRESS (1920), and a beautiful restoration of BALLET
  MÉCANIQUE (made with artist Fernand Léger and others). Explore the
  unexpected legacy of an early filmmaker who would have been right at
  home making music videos for rap stars. Delson's book, DUDLEY MURPHY,
  HOLLYWOOD WILD CARD, will be available for purchase and signing. Program
  will include: SOUL OF THE CYPRESS (1920, 7 minutes) Musically inspired
  short film featuring Murphy's first wife, Chase Herendeen Murphy, as a
  wood nymph cavorting over the seaside cliffs of Point Lobos; set to
  Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun." DANSE MACABRE (1922, 8 minutes)
  Adaptation of an Adolph Bolm ballet starring Bolm and Ruth Page. The
  animation in the opening credit sequence is of particular interest.
  BALLET MÉCANIQUE (1924, 20 minutes) Experimental short film made in
  collaboration with Fernand Léger with contributions by Man Ray and Ezra
  Pound. Music composed by George Antheil. With Kiki of Montparnasse,
  Katharine Hawley Murphy, and Dudley Murphy. A brief exploration of
  cubist form, black and white tonalities, and various vectors through
  constant, rapidly cut movements and compositions. Many of the film's
  forms and compositions are reflected in – or themselves reflect – forms
  and compositions in Léger's famous cubist paintings from the period.
  BLACK AND TAN (1929, 19 minutes) Short musical drama starring Duke
  Ellington and Fredi Washington. Murphy applies the avant-garde
  techniques of BALLET MÉCANIQUE to this story of a musician and the
  dancer girlfriend who dies to advance his career. Additional films to be
  announced.

MAGIC LANTERN PRESENTS "THE REMAKE SHOW"
  This remake show is not the same old same old re-dressed for 2007. It's
  about something different, it's about how remaking, reframing and
  revising can lead to reconsiderations and revelations, to clarifications
  and complications. Without the slightest fear of redundancy, all of
  tonight's videos concern themselves with the act of repetition. They
  remake a range of documents including a socialist home movie, a
  Vietnam-era documentary film, one of Patty Hearst's missives, and a
  series of secret files from the not so distant past. These videos focus
  on the process of literal recollection and they call our attention to
  the role that memory and media play in the re-presentation of history.
  These videos illustrate how re-vision and re-voicing can produce spaces
  in which resonances between the past and the present can be made visible
  and audible. FEATURING: What Farocki Taught by Jill Godmilow (30:00,
  video, 1998), Intervista by Anri Sala (26:00, video, 1998), Symbionese
  Liberation Army (SLA) Screed #29 by Sharon Hayes (3:00, Video, 2003),
  Telegraph by Jesal Kapadia (3:30, video, 2005), That's Not My Memory of
  It: Three Recollected Documents by Speculative Archive (25:00, video,
  2003), Notes by Jenny Perlin (3:20, 16mm, 2006). TRT: 90:50

APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL SHORTS PROGRAM
  A special repeat screening of the hard to see short works of acclaimed
  Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Weerasethakul has become one
  of the leading figures in World Cinema, with his stylistic and
  unconventional feature films Mysterious Object at Noon, Blissfully
  Yours, and Tropical Malady. But he really got his filmmaking start here
  in Chicago at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his
  exhibition start at Chicago Filmmakers, one of the first venues to show
  his work. Tonight's program features a generous selection of his amazing
  short films and videos. Malee and the Boy (1999): A collaborative
  project with a 10 year-old boy who is in charge of the microphone. He
  roams around Bangkok to gather sounds for the project. The narrative,
  presented in text, is taken from a Thai comic book. Like the Relentless
  Fury of the Pounding Waves (1995): On a hot day in a small town a mystic
  radio fills the air with the sounds of a melodramatic play, The Sea
  Goddess. Also showing are Windows (1999), 0116643225059 (1994), Nokia
  Shorts (2003), thirdworld (1997), and This And Million More Light (2003)

ADAM KENDALL AND VORTEX
  The A/V trio of Adam Kendall and Vortex (Satoshi Takeishi and Shoko
  Nagai) perform collaborative multimedia pieces stressing improvisation
  and rules-based techniques. The trio process their video and sounds in
  real-time, integrating their images and music with custom video
  software, acoustic keyboards and percussion, and electronic
  audio-devices. The result is a dynamic range of abstraction and
  literalism and an ongoing interplay of A/V motifs and textures. Their
  shows will feature new work specifically intended for their appearance
  at Aurora Picture Show.

JOHN CAGE ONE11 AND 103
  MODE RECORDS PRESENTS John Cage ONE11 AND 103 1992, 94 minutes, 35mm,
  b&w, sound. Produced and directed by Henning Lohner, cinematography by
  Van Carlson. Filmmaker Henning Lohner in person! Special note: the film
  will be screened with alternate soundtracks each night. John Cage
  created his only feature-length film in the year he died. A sublime
  performance for camera-person and light, ONE11 is, in Cage's words, "a
  film without subject. There is light but no persons, no things, no ideas
  about repetition and variation. It is meaningless activity which is
  nonetheless communicative, like light itself, escaping our attention as
  communication because it has no content to restrict its transforming and
  informing power." The final impression is of another, timeless place –
  freely roaming amidst the clouds or, perhaps, under the sea. Chance
  operations were used with respect to the shots and the editing of the
  film. The light environment was designed and programmed by John Cage and
  Andrew Culver. The orchestral work 103 musically accompanies ONE11. Like
  the film, 103 is 90 minutes long, divided into seventeen parts – its
  density varies from solos, duos, trios to full orchestral tuttis. "ONE11
  AND 103 is very strong, very daring, and finally completely
  mesmerizing." –Louis Malle This is the first screening of a 35mm print
  in New York since its premiere in 1992. This screening is presented by
  Mode Records in conjunction with ONE11's first release on DVD.

FILMS BY LÁSZLÓ MOHOLY-NAGY
  Introduction by Hattula Moholy-Nagy, daughter of László Moholy-Nagy and
  director of The Moholy-Nagy Foundation. Presented in collaboration with
  the Whitney Museum of American Art. From his innovative photographs,
  including his 'camera-less' photograms and photomontages, to his
  experiments with novel synthetic materials such as Perspex and Rhodoid,
  László Moholy-Nagy explored the changing nature of art in the face of
  new technology. As he wrote, "[P]ainting, photography, and film are
  parts of one problem although their techniques may be entirely
  different. They belong to the same realm; that is, to visual expression,
  where cross-fertilizations are possible." Tonight, six of his
  experimental and documentary films will be screened: MARSEILLE VIEUX
  PORT (1929, 9 minutes) LIGHT DISPLAY: BLACK-WHITE-GREY (1930, 5.5
  minutes) BERLIN STILL LIFE (1931, 9 minutes) URBAN GYPSIES /
  GROSSSTADT-ZIGEUNER (1932, 11 minutes) THE LIFE OF THE LOBSTER (1936, 16
  minutes) THE NEW ARCHITECTURE AT THE LONDON ZOO (1936, 15.5 minutes)

VANCOUVER FILM EXPERIMENTS
  Vancouver Film Experiments, At Cinecycle, 129 Spadina Ave. (down the
  lane),January 20, 8:00pm New and recently recycled works by some of the
  wet-coast's most celebrated, subtle, and secret celluloid artists. From
  nuanced film based textures to digitally rendered outputs and stripped
  down dark noise aesthetics, it's all here. Reinventing the Vancouver
  style, this program balances the violence of the downtown eastside with
  an investigation of geographies that evokes an intricate and saturated
  view on handmade film and the BC landscape. Almost all Toronto
  premieres, these films are likely to migrate a fault-line or two.
  Virtually all formats will be crossed in the night: Super 8, 16mm, 35mm
  and video. Note: Film-artist and curator Ben Donoghue will be in
  attendance for a live optical sound performance along with filmmaker Amy
  Kazymerchyk for questions. Films and Videos by: Alex Mackenzie, Amanda
  Dawn Christie, Amy Kazymerchyk, Ben Donoghue, Chris Brabant, Christoph
  Runne, Julie Saragosa, Yun Lam Li, Zoe Gordini. $5-10 at the door.

STRIKE / STACHKA
  Sergei Eisenstein STRIKE / STACHKA 1925, 106 minutes, b&w. With Russian
  intertitles. English synopsis available. Eisenstein's interest in the
  Freudian father complex drives this psychological scenario in which
  non-actors step forward to acknowledge the viewer, illustrating
  Eisenstein's desire to penetrate to the heart of cinema, sidestepping
  realism by "being real." Governmental restrictions made STRIKE the only
  completed film of a series intended to portray the road to revolution.
