Atlanta, Georgia: Eyedrum
http://www.eyedrum.org
8:00 PM, 290 Martin Luther King Jr Dr Suite 8

 FILM LOVE: ANDY WARHOL 2
  Frequent Small Meals presents the second of a two-night series on this
  influential but rarely screened filmmaker. | Space is one of Warhol's
  most unusual films, made during the "superstar" phase of his career.
  Warhol assembled a cast of Factory denizens, and asked them to read a
  script from cue cards. However, as the filming proceeds, the cast
  becomes more interested in interacting with each other than in following
  the script. Warhol allows this breakdown to happen, and lets his usually
  static camera travel through the ensuing mayhem. | PROGRAM: Space
  (1965), 16mm, 67 minutes | Andy Warhol 1 and 2 is a Film Love event,
  programmed and hosted by Andy Ditzler for Frequent Small Meals. More
  information on Frequent Small Meals music, film, and art events can be
  found at www.frequentsmallmeals.com

Brooklyn, New York: Monkeytown

7:30PM, 10:00PM, 58 N 3rd St (btw. Kent & Wythe)

 WE ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS (VIDEO SCREENING & SOUND INSTALALTION)
  Video Screening including works by Tanja Dabo, Marianna Ellenberg,
  Oriana Fox, Stephanie Gray, Sharon Hayes, Nisi Jacobs, Omer Krieger,
  Steve Reinke and Scott Stark. Sound Installation "Wettings" by Marianna
  Ellenberg. A mock-health infomercial, providing guidelines and support
  for the curse of incontinence and other bodily dysfunctions, is
  broadcast in the bathroom stalls. Organized by Marianna Ellenberg Price:
  FREE plus $10.00 food/drink minimum Two Showings:7:30pm show, 10:00pm
  show The video works in "We are So Much Better Than This—Performing the
  Truth/Perusing a Lie" subvert the symbiotic relationship between the
  script, the voice, its owner, and potential embodiment. Hovering between
  abstract images and spectral bodies, the voice is never stabilized in
  these works, it is either edited to the wrong sync point or created from
  a falsified script. This screening traces the breadth and variation of
  the video voice, including the queering of popular Americana In Steve
  Reinke's "Anthology of American Folk Song" (Canada, 2004), the replaying
  of counter-revolutionary voices in Hayes "SLA Screed 16" (USA, 2002) and
  exhausting the voice of cultural tourism in Dabo's "Wellcomme"(Croatia,
  2004). A range of techniques is employed in these works, from
  lipsynching to de-synchronization, shifting the authority of the
  disembodied voice, re-inhabiting it with freudian slips,
  miscalculations, polymorphous perversity and human desire. Screening:
  Omer Krieger, "FLAG" (Israel, 2 min, 2003, video ) Produced by TV
  CHANNEL Steve Reinke, "Anthology of American Folk Song" video (Canada,
  29 min, 2004) Marianna Ellenberg,"The Psychotrophic Alphabet From Z to

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA - SERGEI EISENSTEIN

  inflamed emotion.

 I AM NOT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER: FILMS OF LYNNE SACHS
  SHORT FILMS BY LYNNE SACHS AND BOSNIAN-AMERICAN COLLABORATIVE WEBSITE
  PRESENTATION TORNADO (2001, 4 minutes, video) A cine-poem shot from the
  perspective of Brooklyn where much of the paper and soot from the
  burning towers fell on September 11. Sachs' fingers obsessively handle
  these singed fragments of resumes, architectural drawings and calendars,
  normally banal office material that takes on a new, haunting meaning.
  FIRST STEPS IN A TERRA INCOGNITA (2002, 4 minutes, video) A young
  American woman travels to Bosnia to contemplate life there after a
  period of war. The camera is her being, moving quietly in and out of
  apartments and mosques in Sarajevo, across cultures, between the real
  and the imaginary. THE HOUSE OF DRAFTS: A BOSNIAN-AMERICAN COLLABORATIVE
  WEBSITE (2002, 15 min presentation, visit www.house-of-drafts.org) Made
  in collaboration with Jeanne Finley. THE SMALL ONES (2006, 5 minutes,
  video) During WWII, the US Army hires Sachs' cousin, a doctor, to
  reconstruct the bones – small and large – of dead American soldiers.
  Composed of highly abstracted war imagery and children at a birthday
  party. INVISIBLE (work-in-process, 30 minutes, video) Sachs will show a
  longer experimental narrative version of her film about Sandor Lenard
  (see THE SMALL ONES), her iconoclastic cousin who survived the horrors
  of WWII only to run breathlessly to the jungles of Brazil.

 I AM NOT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER: FILMS OF LYNNE SACHS
  STATES OF UNBELONGING (2006, 63 minutes, BetaSP. Made in collaboration
  with Nir Zats, music by Ted Reichman.) The core of this reflection on
  war, land, the Bible and filmmaking is a portrait of Revital Ohayon, an
  Israeli filmmaker and mother killed in a terrorist act on a kibbutz near
  the West Bank. A film essay on the violence of the Middle East that
  ponders issues of identity, crisis in the region, and the hope for
  union. "Both humanist reverie and implicit cautionary tale." –VILLAGE

 WU WENGUANG CHINA VILLAGE SELF-GOVERNANCE FILM PROJECT
  Los Angeles premiere People's Republic of China, 2006, 100 min., mini-DV
  When China's central government allowed local elections to proceed in
  2005, Wu Wenguang, one of the main exponents of the Beijing-based "New
  Documentary Movement", offered 40 villagers in remote areas of the
  country DV cameras and technical training so that they could document
  this historic event. From housewives to peasants young and old, the
  newly empowered villagers tell stories that are intimate, earnest,
  revelatory—and uncensored. Shifting between documentary and news exposé,
  these vivid accounts range from "A Futile Election" in Shaanxi to a
  housewife observing the everyday life of her community, from a property
  dispute over a quarry field to the impact of governmental decisions on
  the livelihood of Yunnan farmers. In person: Wu Wenguang $ Student with

 IN THE POEM ABOUT LOVE YOU DON’T WRITE THE WORD LOVE
  Anthology 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
  exhibition series 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. Works to be
  shown: Matthew Buckingham SITUATION LEADING TO A STORY (1999, 21 min,
  16mm, b&w, sound) Drawing upon disjunctive narratives and multiple
  filmic genres—including 'serious' documentary, travelogue, and amateur
  movies—Buckingham stages his reception to four discarded home movies
  that he found on the streets of New York. Bringing to light larger
  capitalist and imperialist narratives and probing deeper forms of
  ideological meaning and ethical consequence, the film emphasizes the
  inaccessibility of historical truth; and Jeremy Deller & Mike Figgis
  BATTLE OF ORGREAVE (2001, 60 min, video, color) This reenactment shifts
  between public and private cultures to expose discrepancies of the
  British news media and the hidden values surrounding the violent coal
  miners strike in South Yorkshire in June 1984; and Harun Farocki &
  Andrei Ujica VIDEOGRAMS OF A REVOLUTION (1992, 106 min, video, color,
  sound) Farocki and Ujica's film details the five days in December of
  1989 during which a popular uprising in Romania deposed and executed the
  Stalinist dictator Nicolae Ceauçescu. Questions regarding the
  intersection of television, violence, and democracy, all structure the
  terrain on which Videograms of a Revolution unfolds. The television
  cameras are the main actors in the piece, this is what remains in focus
  throughout.

 YOKO ONO: BED-IN
  Bed-In Yoko Ono, John Lennon (U.S., 1969) Allan deSouza and Yong Soon
  Min in Person "It's a bed-in, folks!" John Lennon announces as he and
  Yoko Ono begin their weeklong protest for peace. In Bed-In, John and
  Yoko, having been refused entry into the U.S., are bedded down for the
  week in a Toronto hotel, where they host a constant stream of visitors:
  Al Capp, cantankerous as ever; Tommy Smothers, who admits he is "not a
  hep cat"; Timothy Leary, who surely wants to be; a roomful of promo men
  and DJs, plus a phone call from Berkeley's People's Park. "Gimmicks and
  salesmanship," Lennon says, "peace and war are two products." This is
  "apparatus exposed" in more ways than one, showing the chaos surrounding
  "Peace: The Advertisement," and the production surrounding "The John and
  Yoko Show." A time capsule that is very funny, more than a little silly,
  surprisingly candid, frequently tender. Followed by shorts: Lennon,

 THEN, NOT NAUMAN: CONCEPTUALISTS OF THE EARLY SEVENTIES
  Ritual Redux Works by Vito Acconci, Terry Fox, Joan Jonas, William
  Wegman Undoubtedly the body was the artist's first medium; then came
  things external, colored pigment, a bone, a brush, a hide surface. The
  late sixties saw artists return to the beginning, once again privileging
  the body and the possibility that its movement through the world and the
  residue of its passage were fair equivalents to the canvas and hewn
  stone. In Vito Acconci's Openings, the artist painfully pulls the hairs
  from his stomach until his belly has the purity of a gesso'd canvas.
  Joan Jonas's first performance videowork, Organic Honey's Visual
  Telepathy, is a study of female gestures in which Jonas and her alter
  ego, Organic Honey, masquerade within videospace. The use of video
  allowed the artist to double herself, heightening this strange ritual of
  the self. More a rite than a ritual, the beautifully executed
  performance Turgescent Sex is Terry Fox's tribute to the tragedy of My
  Lai. Blindfolded with a bandage, Fox releases a fish, entangled in a
  knotted rope, then stages a symbolic pyre. Another alter ego, the
  Weimaraner Man Ray, appears beside William Wegman in his absurdist
  shorts, performed with unexpectedly subversive whimsy. Selections from
  Wegman's Reel 1 will be interspersed throughout. Openings (Vito Acconci,
  U.S., 1970). Organic Honey's Visual Telepathy (Joan Jonas, U.S., 1972).
  Turgescent Sex (Terry Fox, U.S., 1971). Selected Works: Reel 1 (William

 THE EMPEROR’S NAKED ARMY MARCHES ON
  (1987, 122 minutes, 16mm, color) An exceptional documentary portrait of
  Kenzo Okuzaki, a 62-year-old WWII veteran who acquired a prison record
  (for killing a man and for firing pachinko balls at the Emperor) in the
  course of his fanatical campaign to lay the blame for Japan's conduct of
  the war on the Emperor. He seeks to expose the horrifying secret behind
  an incident, buried by history, involving the Japanese army stationed in
  New Guinea at the end of the war. Specifically, he wants to know why
  several Japanese soldiers were executed by their commander. Forty years
  later survivors are taken aback by Okuzaki's sudden visit and his
  insistence that they speak out in front of the camera, a volatile mix of
  apologetic politeness, deceit (his wife and anarchist friend pose as
  victims' relatives), and sudden violence. Kazuo Hara's fly-on-the-wall
  technique fascinates both for its bizarre protagonist, and for its
  brutally frank portrait of a society constrained by notions of shame
  rather than guilt.

 THE WAVE: NEW EXPERIMENTAL FILMS FROM CHINA
  Little more than a decade and a half old, Chinese media art is
  vigorously energizing the country..s rich aesthetic traditions, ushering
  in new forms of art-making to express China..s rapid social, economic,
  and political changes. This program, curated by Li Zhenhua, surveys the
  field with works from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou: 1201 (Wang Ning,
  2002); BACKYARD..HEY! SUN IS RISING (Yang Fudong, 2001); BEAUTIFUL CLOUD

 GOODBYE CP
  (1972, 82 minutes, 16mm, b&w) Hara's debut challenges taboos about
  representations of handicapped people, in particular the shame
  associated with physical differences. In a street in downtown Yokohama
  the main protagonist, Yokota Hiroshi, proudly displays his naked body, a
  gesture Hara emphasizes, stating, "It is difficult to look at
  handicapped people's bodies so that's what I wanted to show." Hara
  allows the disabled to speak for themselves as participants rather than
  as victims; as Yokota says, "Pity I can do without." GOODBYE CP does not
  encourage a facile empathy with the plight of people with disabilities
  but rather forces viewers to confront their own fears and misgivings.

 A DEDICATED LIFE BY KAZUO HARA
  (1994, 157 minutes, 35mm, color) Master documentary filmmaker Kazuo Hara
  directs this portrait of noted writer and literary figure Mitsuharu
  Inoue. A Dedicated Life focuses on a subject to the point where all
  notions of a stable truth are destroyed. The film began as an account of
  the life of Japanese novelist Mitsuharu Inoue, but in the course of
  shooting the writer contracted cancer, physically deteriorated and
  passed away. We watch him reminisce about his early life as he begins to
  die, only to realise some two-thirds of the way into the film that the
  interviews with his childhood acquaintances contradict almost everything
  Inoue has said. Hara commented after the film that he had nearly
  finished shooting A Dedicated Life before he realized it was not about
  Inoue's life story, but the reality of the fictional world in which the
  writer lived.

 ROBERT BEAVERS: TO THE WINGED DISTANCE: 1
  Robert Beavers has laboured in relative isolation on works whose goal
  "is for the projected film image to have the same force of awakening
  sight as any other great image." His meticulously crafted films are at
  once lyrical and rigorous, sensuous and complex. Whilst communicating
  his response to the landscapes, architecture and traditions of the
  Mediterranean and Alpine countries in which they were filmed, they also
  incorporate deeply personal and aesthetic themes. Rarely seen in public,
  Robert Beavers' remarkable body of work is a celebration of light, life
  and colour. The retrospective is structured in two parts: Six programmes
  of selected titles will be followed on the last weekend by "My Hand
  Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure", Beavers'
  complete cycle of eighteen films. Curated by Mark Webber. With thanks to
  Temenos Verein, Cineric Inc., and The Guild of St George. TO THE WINGED
  DISTANCE: PROGRAMME 1: Introduced by Robert Beavers. WORK DONE
  (1972/1999, 22 min) Bracing in its simplicity, Work Done was shot in
  Florence and the Alps, and celebrates an archaic Europe. Contemplating a
  stone vault cooled by blocks of ice or the hand stitching of a massive
  tome or the frying of a local delicacy, Beavers considers human
  activities without dwelling on human protagonists. Like many of Beavers'
  films, Work Done is based on a series of textural or transformative
  equivalences: the workshop and the field, the book and the forest, the
  mound of cobblestones and a distant mountain. (J. Hoberman, The Village
  Voice) AMOR (1980, 15 min) Amor is an exquisite lyric, shot in Rome and
  at the natural theatre of Salzburg. The recurring sounds of cutting
  cloth, hands clapping, hammering, and tapping underline the associations
  of the montage of short camera movements, which bring together the
  making of a suit, the restoration of a building, and details of a
  figure, presumably Beavers himself, standing in the natural theatre in a
  new suit, making a series of hand movements and gestures. A handsomely
  designed Italian banknote suggests the aesthetic economy of the film:
  the tailoring, trimming, and chiselling point to the editing of the film
  itself. (P. Adams Sitney, Film Comment) THE HEDGE THEATRE (1986-90/2002,
  19 min) Beavers shot The Hedge Theatre in Rome in the 1980s. It is an
  intimate film inspired by the Baroque architecture and stone carvings of
  Francesco Borromini and "St. Martin and the Beggar," a painting by the
  Sienese painter Il Sassetta. Beavers' montage contrasts the sensuous
  softness of winter light with the lush green growth brought by spring
  rains. Each shot and each source of sound is steeped in meaning and
  placed within the film's structure with exacting skill to build a poetic
  relationship between image and sound. (Susan Oxtoby, Toronto
  International Film Festival)

 EXTREME PRIVATE EROS: LOVE SONG 1974 BY KAZUO HARA
  (1974, 98 minutes, 16mm, b&w) Hara's second film, and without doubt his
  most outrageous, personal and masochistic work. Shot over several years,
  mostly in handheld black-and-white and often with out-of-synch sound,
  this raw confessional has Hara following his ex-wife, 26-year-old
  radical feminist Miyuki Takeda. The two lived together for three years
  and share a child, as this documentary captures their post-break-up
  relationship and her new life without him. This was a brutal dose of
  reality for Japanese viewers, as it matter-of-factly tackles heartache,
  sex, insecurities, gender politics, and even on-camera childbirth. This
  is an extraordinarily intimate portrayal of the ideology, philosophy,
  and lives of radicals in the Vietnam era, revolving around the postwar
  relationship of Japan, Okinawa, and the United States.

 JACQUES DEMY’S THE PIED PIPER -- NEW YORK REVIVAL! BRAND NEW PRINT!
  (1972, 90 min, 35mm. Starring Donovan, Jack Wild, Donald Pleasance, and
  John Hurt) Anthology presents a brand-new print of Jacques Demy's THE
  PIED PIPER, the follow-up and fairy-tale companion-piece to DONKEY SKIN
  (which itself enjoyed a recent revival at Film Forum). Unavailable on
  video and unscreened in the U.S. for decades, THE PIED PIPER, Demy's
  second and final English-language film, features none other than
  singer-songwriter Donovan in the lead role. Ripe for rediscovery, THE
  PIED PIPER, perhaps the greatest of Demy's neglected films, is not to be
  missed – the original tagline says it best: "Come children of the
  universe, let Donovan take you away, far far away." A possible surprise
  visit from the star may occur!

 RE-DEFINING VIDEO: WORK BY KYLE CANTERBURY
  Kyle Canterbury in Person! Chicago Filmmakers is extremely pleased to
  present the first one-person show (and first ever U.S. screening) of the
  work of Kyle Canterbury, an extraordinarily talented new experimental
  video artist who lives in Michigan. Canterbury has been making videos
  for only a little over a year, and his work is already some of the most
  exciting and dynamic film or video of any kind of the last decade or
  more. Oh, and he's only 17 years old! Canterbury has developed a palette
  of techniques that emphasize the specificity and artistic potential of
  the video medium unlike anyone else. He uncovers a stunning array of
  textures, formal compositions, and rhythmic patterns in the normally
  flat video image. Fred Camper has written: "I do not think it is too
  grand to declare that Canterbury has done for video something like what
  Brakhage has done for film. In his hands, after less than a year of
  work, this medium, which so many have found severely limited, has become
  as supple, as pliable, as sensuous, and as rhythmically various, as film
  was for Brakhage." Canterbury will screen approximately 30 short works,
  including 19: passage, A VIDEO, EVODI, and Fragments from a Room (all
  2006) Complete titles available on our website.

 LANDSCAPE OF MIND: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION; FREDERIC WORDEN, USA,
 EMMANUEL LEFRANT, FRANCE, JULIE MURRAY, IRELAND
  The films in this programme are, for the most part, abstract or use
  representational images to abstract ends — Emmanuel Lefrant speaks of
  his cameraless films as being in the Landscape Art tradition; Frederic
  Worden's films are called Here and The OR Cloud (which is short for ORT
  Cloud , a cluster of rocks orbiting in outer space); and Julie Murray's
  Orchard is really that, shots of an orchard. Hence the title of the show
  — Landscape of Mind: Location, Location, Location — a selection of films
  of differing techniques which cover the optical landscape: external
  ground, inner mind, cosmic universe. Julie Murray works in a number of
  different styles: collage, animation, landscape. Exquisitely shot and
  edited, Murray's films are located somewhere we recognize – they just
  don't stay there. " …in all of Murray's films, the images and the
  editing can pull several ways at once. There are no absolutes, and even
  the light by which we see is altered by the material it passes through."
  (Fred Camper) Emmanuel Lefrant works on speed, rhythm, materiality, and
  colour, and on developing the "secret forms" in the emulsion. Frederic
  Worden's films develop from his interest in intermittent projection as
  the source of cinema's primordial powers — a cinema of pure energy that
  bypasses the discursive mind and goes right at the body; a cinema of
  direct experiences that stalks the unforeseen, non-translatable.

 ROBERT BEAVERS: TO THE WINGED DISTANCE: 2
  Introduction by P. Adams Sitney (Princeton University, author of
  "Visionary Film"). Screening followed by a discussion between Robert
  Beavers and P. Adams Sitney. FROM THE NOTEBOOK OF … (1971/1998, 48 min)
  From the Notebook of … was shot in Florence and takes as its point of
  departure Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks and Paul Valéry's essay on da
  Vinci's process. These two elements suggest an implicit comparison
  between the treatment of space in Renaissance art and the moving image.
  The film marks a critical development in the artist's work in that he
  repeatedly employs a series of rapid pans and upward tilts along the
  city's buildings or facades, often integrating glimpses of his own face.
  As Beavers notes in his writing on the film, the camera movements are
  tied to the filmmakers' presence and suggest his investigating gaze.

 TIE: THE EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA EXPOSITION—“CELLULOID CINEMA” PROGRAM ONE
  Conceived in Telluride, CO in 2000, the Denver-based TIE has quickly
  become an exemplary festival celebrating contemporary and historical
  avant-garde cinema. Taking as its mission the "preservation of the
  fundamental qualities of cinema and film exhibition," the festivals
  have, to date, screened over 600 films and hosted over 200 artists and
  renowned for artistic vision and an exaltation of the direct viewing
  experience of original-format film works. Cinematheque is proud to
  present a two-program sampler of TIE's past festivals. Note: This is
  two-part screening series. Individual programs take place on different
  evenings, at different venues, and are ticketed separately. Excerpts
  from author Richard Meltzer's 250 minute 8mm work Bogus Boxing Trash
  will precede each screening. TIE, Program One: An international
  selection of shorts in 8mm, 16mm and sumptuous 35mm. Highlights include
  some of the earliest examples of x-ray cinematography from the 1930s;
  Abu Kifan's ethereal slow motion underwater landscapes; and a rare
  double panel presentation of footage shot by Andy Warhol of a very noisy
  Velvet Underground practice that's eventually broken up by the NYPD
  (with Warhol himself interceding). This setup allows the projectionist
  to switch from one optical track to the other, making the projection as
  much a part of the viewing experience as the band's raw performance and
  Paul Morrisey's psychedelic cinematography. Screening: Christopher
  Becks: Pan of the Landscape. Gerard Holthuis: Careless Reef, Part 2: Abu
  Kifani. Jason Livingston: July Fix. Luther Price: Mother (revised).
