  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.

San Francisco, California: Studio 27
http://studio27.org
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

  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

  dysfunctional Factory.
