surprises} note: The topic of "Library" is captivating the minds of
people in many disciplines today, from the history of libraries and
their elaborate cataloging systems, to the challenges that are facing
libraries as they confront the web. The visual, conceptual, and
metaphorical implications of the theme have inspired work in the arts,
and a flowering of small alternative libraries has appeared around the
country as the role of library, and the book itself, is questioned. We
invite you to visit the gallery, and consult our website in the coming
months for a schedule of upcoming events, and links to interesting
libraries around the world. Proteus Gowanus 543 Union Street @ Nevins

New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
8:00, 32 Second Avenue (at Second Street)
ALL CIRCUITS ON PROGRAM #1: VIDEO 101: TOUCH YOUR TELEVISION
The first regular video screenings at Anthology date back to 1974 with a
weekly series of exhibitions curated by artist Shigeko Kubota. These
shows featured an enormous array of epochal video artists and
multi-media practitioners and were initially presented on monitors and
decks loaned by Kubota and Nam June Paik. ALL CIRCUITS ON is a new
Anthology series produced in close collaboration with Electronic Arts
Intermix (EAI), one of the world's leading nonprofit resources for video
and media art since 1971. Together we are revisiting our roots,
combining forces and pooling our archives to increase the exposure for
rarely-screened works from the early days of video. We'll keep below the
date-line of 1979, revisiting the halcyon days of video exploration:
early Sony Portapak experiments, anarchist television, acid-trip image
processing. These ongoing programs will focus particular attention on
overlooked progenitors, broadcast experimenters and studio-staged artist
tapes. In the spirit of participatory television, many screenings will
be accompanied by live events, in-person dialogues, Oscar parties,
24-hour sit-ins, etc. Stay tuned for more. Anthology gratefully
acknowledges the support of this series from the Experimental Television
Center's Presentation Funds, which is supported by public funds from the
Electronic Media and Film Program of the New York State Council on the
Arts. Special thanks to Sherry Miller Hocking. Organized by Rebecca
Cleman (EAI) & Andrew Lampert (Anthology). . For our first evening you
will find out everything you wanted to know about television - how it
works, how to critique it, and how to make love to it. See the inside of
a Portapak. Zone out to a heavily processed image of Einstein. Watch
Allan Kaprow's discombobulating television happening. Learn how video
can be used as a tool, for the freeing of information and the creation
of a healthy media ecology. Don't just sit back and relax - expand your
mind!. . David Cort & the Videofreex AT MAPLE TREE FARM AND BEYOND
(1972-75, 5-minute excerpt, b&w/color, sound). "WGBH" THE MEDIUM IS THE
MEDIUM (1969, 28 minutes, color, sound). Michael Shamberg for Raindance
MEDIA PRIMER (1971, 16.5 minutes, b&w, sound). Dan Sandin in
collaboration with Phil Morton & Barbara Sykes HOW TV WORKS (1977,
8-minute excerpt, color, sound). James Byrne TRANSLUCENT (1974, 2.5
minutes, b&w, sound). James Byrne BOTH (1974, 3.5 minutes, b&w, sound).
Eric Siegel EINSTINE (1968, 5.5 minutes, color, sound). Douglas Davis
with Jonathan Price HOW TO MAKE LOVE TO YOUR TELEVISION SET (1979,
20-minute excerpt, color, sound). Total running time: ca. 95 minutes.

San Francisco, California: kino21
http://www.atasite.org/calendar/?x=2261
7pm, Artist's Television Access, 992 Valencia St
A GRIN WITHOUT A CAT
kino21 presents -- Chris Marker's A Grin Without a Cat (1977/1993) 180
min. in English, Spanish and French with some English subtitles. "The
untranslatable French title is a play on words suggesting that
revolution was in the air but not on the ground." (IMDB) A Grin Without
a Cat was first released in 1977 and recut in 1993 to its current form
with a post cold-war coda. It is an informative, sprawling and
ultimately melancholic essay on the Left and its 20th century fate,
starting from the Soviet revolution to the coup d'etat in Chile,
critically evaluating the heady days of the 1960s.

9 p.m., 689 Bryant Street (at 5th Street)
CINEMA: LOVE AND DEATH
This program showcases recent experimental films and videos that reflect
on the history of cinema, from digital appropriations to meditations on
the ephemerality of motion picture culture. Like the mysteries of love,
cinema has an irrational, magical power that cannot be fully understood
or controlled. These works celebrate this magic through a direct
confrontation with film history. Going far beyond a mere sentimental
gloss on the golden age of cinema, these filmmakers use a critical
nostalgia to reflect on the emotional impact and cultural legacy that
commercial cinema's history has had on contemporary consciousness. From
ethereal, hand-crafted collage of early filmic ephemera and sound to the
latest digital seizures that interrogate classic moments from the
archive of world cinema, each of these works raise questions about the
legacy and cultural memory of motion picture history. Films in program:
The Hills are Alive by Greg Biermann, Mirror World by Abigail Child,
Love is a Burning Thing by Dave Griffiths, Muse of Cinema by Kerry
Laitala, Detroit Park by Julie Murray, Life and Times of Robert Kennedy
Starring Gary Cooper by Aaron Valdez, De l'Amort (Love & Death) by
Johanna Vaude. Total program length: 70 minutes. Admission is free.

ALTERNATE CINEMA
MAY 25 - 31, Fri- Thurs SEATTLE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ALTERNATE
CINEMA The Dutch call it exploding cinema; the French the avant-garde;
in Seattle we call it Alternate Cinema. A collection of features and
shorts, which aim to push the boundaries of traditional film culture,
this year's selections explore unconventional modes of visual, aural and
emotional landscapes. Yet when we examine these works, they seem more
and more to be in tune with ourselves, with our thoughts, and with the
very medium itself. Estaban Sapir's The Aerial combines expressive
elements of the silent era and graphic elements of comic books to
comment on the state of our media culture. One11 and 103, the legendary
John Cage's sublime dance of camera, light and sound, makes its Seattle
premiere. SIFF Tributee Anthony Hopkins makes his directorial debut with
the daring Slipstream, and Jiska Rickels' 4 Elements presents an
evocative meditation on mankind's timeless—and often
precarious—connection to the natural world. Esther B. Robinson's A Walk
Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory documents a man who,
while on the surface just another nameless member of the Warhol factory,
was himself an editor, filmmaker, light designer, lover and son. The
above is just a sampling of these invigorating and exciting selections
from some of cinema's most daring filmmakers. All screening at Northwest
Film Forum unless otherwise noted. MAY 25, Fri at 7pm THE AERIAL
(Estaban Sapir, Argentina, 2007, 90 min) In Year X in the City Without a
Voice, a fascist media regime keeps the population forcibly silent.
Plots and counter-plots ensue in this alluring allegory that,
ironically, employs the language of silent film to salute the power of
free speech. A stunning amalgam of comic books and '20s-era science
fiction. MAY 25, Fri at 9:15pm LIFE IN LOOPS (A MEGACITIES RMX) (Tino
Novotny, Austria, 2006, 80 min) This award-winning experimental
documentary is a mesmerizing remix of the acclaimed 1997 film
MEGACITIES, combining its stunning original footage with an excellent
new soundtrack by Sofa Surfers. A fiercely imaginative audio-visual
journey that finds fragments of hidden urban life in New York, Tokyo,
Moscow, Bombay and Mexico City.

7:00, 32 Second Avenue (at Second Street)
TOM, TOM, THE PIPER'S SON
Dir: Ken Jacobs. An absolute masterpiece from one of the most inspiring
innovators of modern cinema. . "Original 1905 film shot and probably
directed by G.W. 'Billy' Bitzer, rescued via a paper print filed for
copyright purposes with the Library of Congress. It is most reverently
examined here, absolutely loved, with a new movie, almost as a side
effect, coming into being." -K.J.

NICK ZEDD PROGRAM
I WANNA BE RICH (3 min.-2007), Starring NEON MUSIC, NO PLAGUE LIKE HOME
(28 min.-2007), ELECTRA ELF:VILE BUDDIES (28 min.-2006), Starring REV
JEN, BRENDA BERGMAN, ALISON GORDY, ELECTRA ELF:OF LICE AND MEN (28
min.-2005), Starring REV JEN, CHUCK FUNK, MICHELLE CARLOS, ELECTRA
ELF:HELL-BOUND HEIRESSES (28 min.-2004) Starring REV JEN, NEIL MEDLYN,
ANN CARR. Nick Zedd, long identified with a film movement entitled, The
Cinema of Transgression, is a filmmaker, performer, writer and editor.
Always highly controversial, has work has been embraced by some and
despised by others. With his recent ELECTRA ELF series, he seems to have
moved in a surprisingly different direction. In 2004, Nick Zedd
premiered a television series on MNN called THE ADVENTURES OF ELECTRA
ELF, combining action, satire and special effects, the series features
local artstars and comedians. Weekly episodes present superheroes and
super villains in absurd morality plays assaulting consensus reality in
an offbeat manner. "NO PLAGUE LIKE HOME deconstructs the genre,
addressing the issues of implantable microchips and the 9-11 inside job
along with the dangers of watching television,"- N.Z>

MAY 27, Sun at 4pm ONE11 AND 103 (John Cage, Henning Lohner,
USA/Germany, 1992, 93 min) John Cage created his only feature-length
film in the year of his death. Combining randomly drifting patches of
light with one of Cage's richest musical compositions, this is a
sublime, stunning acknowledgment of time from one of the most widely
influential artists of the 20th century. MAY 27, Sun at 6:30pm ON THE
ROAD WITH JUDAS (JJ Lask, USA, 2006, 100 min) Imagine Charlie Kaufman on
crack and you might get begin to get an inkling of this dazzling
metaphysical comedy. Reality, fiction and postmodern storytelling

businessman (NAPOLEON DYNAMITE's Aaron Ruell), his night gig as a
cutthroat computer thief, and the woman he loves. MAY 27, Sun, at 9:15pm
