6:00, 32 Second Avenue (at Second Street)

CHRISTOPHER MACLAINE
  "The few facts that are known about Maclaine are, at best, sketchy. He
  was a published poet, a sort of down and out San Francisco bohemian who
  later became one of the psychic casualties of that scene. His last years
  were spent at Sunnyacres, a state mental hospital in Fairfield,
  California. These films, along with Ron Rice's, are clearly the most
  significant work to come out of the beat period." -J.J. Murphy. THE MAN
  WHO INVENTED GOLD (1957, 14 minutes, 16mm). BEAT (1958, 6 minutes,
  16mm). SCOTCH HOP (1959, 5.5 minutes, 16mm). THE END (1953, 35 minutes,
  16mm). "Six stories of people on the last day of their lives… His
  conceit is that his characters have reached the end of their personal
  ropes the day before a nuclear holocaust." -Fred Camper.

  Montez, Gerard Malanga. "One of the underground's best and most
  influential films." -Peter Gidal. Hans Richter. RHYTHMUS 21 . 1921, 3
  minutes. . "Its content is essentially rhythm, the formal vocabulary is
  elemental geometry, and the structural principle is counterpoint of
  contrasting opposites." -Standish Lawder. ZWEIGROSCHENZAUBER / TWO PENNY
  MAGIC (1929, 2 minutes). ALLES DREHT SICH, ALLES BEWEGT SICH /
  EVERYTHING REVOLVES, EVERYTHING TURNS (1929, 9 minutes). Paul Sharits .

  generated rather than illustrated/time-color. . "In essence there are
  only three flicker films of importance, ARNULF RAINER, THE FLICKER, and
  N:O:T:H:I:N:G… In terms of the subject we have discussed here, it is
  Sharits' N:O:T:H:I:N:G that opens the field for the structural film with
  a flicker base." -P. Adams Sitney. T,O,U,C,H,I,N,G . 1969, 12 minutes.
  Newly preserved print!. Starring poet David Franks whose voice appears
  on soundtrack/an uncutting and unscratching mandala. "Merges violence

RELYING ON BEES, OR, WHERE THE BEE SUCKS THERE SUCK I...
  The summer solstice will soon be upon us, which means it's the season
  for movies in the garden again, yay! FIREFLY CINEMA presents a reprise
  program of 'RELYING ON BEES, or, where the bee sucks there suck I ' :all
  the films about BEES ifrom the Donnell Media Center 16mm collection.
  This timely topic brought quite the crowd of film-and-bee lovers to
  Proteus Gowanus in March, soon after the first New York Times article on
  the mysterious bee disappearance (now referred to as 'colony collapse
  syndrome'). Many theories have been brought forth but we may never know
  all the secrets of the bee world. Come to the garden to watch these
  various educational films so we can all think about bees together...

  World /Honey moon Hotel/and Bees and Ears Love, Jeanne

BORDEAUX, FRANCE: LA CYCLO-CINEMATHEQUE
http://www.sabinegruffat.com/tour.html
8PM, MONOQUINI

LA CYCLO-CINEMATHEQUE
  LA CYCLO-CINEMATHEQUE Bill Brown is Texan. He captures history as it is
  written across the American landscape: the cold-war politics of North
  Dakota's abandoned nuclear missile silos, separatist tensions along the
  Trans-Canadian Highway,the 2000-mile border between the United States
  and Mexico. Sabine Gruffat currently lives in Détroit. Her films and
  videos, inspired by a passion for deconstructing historical narratives,
  are screened at numerous festivals worldwide. ?This summer, they are
  together in Europe touring by bicycle across borders and stopping only
  to screen their latest films and videos. Half the problem with borders
  is finding them. Some are obvious, like the borders between countries,
  floodlit and fortified; demilitarized zones where desire almost meets
  what it most desires, then, disappointed or unrequited, throws itself on
  the razor wire. Other borders we have to look for. Invisible ones we
  cross without even noticing it. The invisible borders explain a lot: why
  the places we were born feel like foreign countries; why the bodies we
  were born into feel like foreign objects. La Cyclo-Cinémathèque is a
  program of films about arbitrary delineations, eternally scarred
  landscapes, and the continuing lure of unfamiliar frontiers: meditations
  on the boundaries we have crossed, the walls we continue to build, and
  the horizons that await us. Screening Program (subtitled) : And So Sings
  Our Mechanical Bride by Sabine Gruffat / 19 : 00 / 2005 / USA Combining
  archeological excavation and science fiction thriller, this video
  resurrects the site of an abandoned US Steel mill—now an archetypal
  monument of industrial history preserved in concrete—to investigate
  themes concerning the unfulfilled promises of industrialization and the
  destructive capabilities of evanescent ideas and imagery on
  fundamentally physical beings. The Other Side by Bill Brown / 43 : 00 /
  2006 / USA A 2000-mile journey along the U.S./Mexico border reveals a
  geography of aspiration and insecurity. While documenting the efforts of
  migrant activists to establish a network of water stations in the
  borderlands of the southwestern U.S., Brown considers the border as a
  landscape, at once physical, historical, and political. To the South Was
  72 by Sabine Gruffat / 11 :00 / 2005 / USA This experimental documentary
  video retells and disorders a prehistoric site: a location that is
  visited, preserved and endlessly repeated via prescribed routes and
  prerecorded narratives. MONOQUINI Cinema Jean VIGO 6 Rue Franklin 33

LAST REFUGE FOR THE SENSES OR NOISE HIPPIES AGAINST ALL WAR (EUROPEAN
TOUR)
  Run a female artists' collective, brew your own absinthe, attend an
  anti-gentrification community board meeting, wheatpaste signs protesting
  the war(s), and then lose yourself in what may very well be the Last
  Refuge for the Senses. A new breed of noise/ post-psychedelia has sprung
  up as the only rational response to an increasingly alienating form of
  global capitalism, in an increasingly violent- and- joyless politicized
  existence – this new media responds with a Chaos of Sound and Light that
  seeks to overwhelm you but stops before you're lost, its Kind Hippie
  Heart beating out a space for you to occupy and own. From your favorite
  Rhode Island filmmakers, we've got Group Trance Rituals, Direct
  Dumpster-Dive Animation, History Seen Through the Eyes of Bats, Live
  Soundtracks, Cut-Up Eyeballs, Single Frame Collectives, Puppet Chaos,
  Analog Transcendence, and So Much More. Featuring A COLLABORATIVE
  EXPANDED CINEMA PERFORMANCE from drone musician Joseph Grimm filmmaker
  Ben Russell and featuring recorded music by Lighting Bolt, Mystery
  Brinkman, Carly Ptak (Nautical Almanac), the Shirelles vs the Suicidal
  Tendencies, Jodi Buonanno, and more! These eyes/ears represent the true
  cinema of deliverance, the theater of Psychic Hearts and Radical Love.

HARDFILMS: PIXELS AND CELLULOID
  Film and Videos curated by maria morata Programme 5_ cut and paste:
  space/time collages 27.06 (19:30h) + 30.06.07 (19:30h) The collage
  technique by which visual, audio, or textual fragments of different
  sources are reunited in a new context to produce new meanings, has
  become one of the most often used operations in today's world of digital
  media under the cut and paste command, which is a new way to deal with
  cultural information. Many filmmakers work with collage in its most
  literal sense and process the film material directly either by gluing
  objects to it (foliage and insects in Mothlight by Brahkage, or adhesive
  tape in the film by Giovanni Martedi), separating the different film
  emulsion layers and transforming its visual content (décollage/récollage
  technique by Cecile Fontaine), painting over images to alter their
  meaning (Martha Colburn), or filming animation collages (Klahr,
  Vanderbeek). Electronic video technology allows the Vasulkas to
  experiment with inlays of images and Melhus to clone himself by
  repeating the cut and paste sequence over and over again. On the other
  hand, the temporal character of cinema gives rise to another type of
  collage which can be created directly on the retina by means of a rapid
  succession of different images which are then mixed in the brain due to
  the retininian persistency phenomena (Breer, Kren, Lowder). MOTHLIGHT,

RUSSIAN EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA: CINE FANTOM CLUB
  The concept CINE FANTOM has existed for twenty years, since the first
  issue of CINE FANTOM, a self-published cinema magazine, came out, which
  editor-in-chief was Igor Aleinikov. Initially, CINE FANTOM was
  associated with activities of Soviet cinema underground, a legendary
  parallel cinema movement. Since the mid 90-ies CINE FANTOM has been a
  cinema club uniting independent cinematographers and modern artists.
  Today, it is a unique place, where the art of cinema and a vivid
  critical thought meet together. The Club's main principle is
  demonstration of audiovisual works, followed by their discussion held
  with an author, a film expert, a producer or a curator. Since its
  founding, CINE FANTOM Club has managed to present programs of
  independent, parallel contemporary Russian cinema throughout the world.
  For instance, there should be mentioned: a large program "Days of CINE
  FANTOM Club" at 35th International Film Festival Rotterdam, a Club
  program at 17th Kinotavr film festival in Sochi, as well as "Days of
  Russian Cinema in Cuba". All Club events receive coverage on

  min. USSR, 1987 Cinema collage, dedicated to the subject of ideological
  pressing. The movie ends by a severe metaphor: a scene of homosexual
  rape in a metro car. I'M FRIGID/BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER - ALEINIKOV
  BROTHERS 16 min. USSR, 1987 "Eight and a Half" of parallel cinema. Usual
  cinema process: the actor is in lethargical sleep, the director is in
  creative prostration, paparazzi are anticipating sensation: "Are you
  content with technical conditions of the shooting?" Director: "As far as
  films and cameras are concerned, I can say that we don't need better
  quality for our cinema, this is formality. What is really bad here, is
  synchronization. For example, I'm speaking about one thing now, but the
  audience sees me speak about quite other things or doesn't see me at
  all. But anyway I don't lose hope: you can do without synchronization,
  sound and even without a film… " Igor Aleinikov, born in 1962, graduated
  from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI) Gleb Aleinikov,
  born in 1966, graduated from the Moscow Engineering Construction
  Institute. In the 80-ie Aleinikov brothers belonged to school of Moscow
  conceptualism and took active part in art underground activities, they
  worked in such genres as mailart, bookart, socart, homeart. Brothers

  experimental underground movies shot on narrow film, such as "Tractors"
  (1987), "I'm frigid, but it doesn't matter" (1987), "The severe Illness
  of Men" (1987), "Postpolitical Cinema" (1988), aesthetics and ideology
  of which were absolutely incompatible with the canons common for soviet
  cinema. Aleinikov brothers started working in official cinema in the
  late 80-ies by shooting a short film "Someone has been here" (1989) and
  a full-length film "Tractor Drivers 2" (1992). In March 1994 Igor
  Aleinikov died in a plane accident. A year after Gleb Aleinikov founded

THE FICTION SCIENCE TRIANGLE
  THE FICTION SCIENCE TRIANGLE – VIDEO SCREENING Space station layovers,
  ghost acoustic residue and omnipotent narrators are joined at the hip in
  this quintet of works by three videomakers who work together and apart.
  Unfortunately, the hip has fallen off because it belongs to a zombie...
  but perhaps an inorganic psychic surgery exchange can replace it. Come
  find out as this trio of artists chart a terrain of speculative fictions
  and claim them as their science. EXTENDING TRAINER:PRESSURE SUITES AND
  BROOM-CRAFTS (Torsten Zenas Burns, 20 minutes, stereo, 2004/07). A
  processed team-up between alternative space agencies, cryptic training
  facilities, past-regressed family workshops, feline androids, green
  helmets, beams of light, spectacular strollers,organic projectiles,
  arcane crew choreography, and video residency programs. VIEWING #1
  (Anthony Discenza, 9:30 minutes, stereo, 2006). A meditation on the
  proliferation of images in the age of information, and the limits of
  both textual and visual modes of representation. Assembled from
  fragments of texts gathered by a specific Google search, Viewing #1
  describes a potential image under continuously shifting terms in order
  to construct a transient internal viewing experience. MONOGRAPH IN
  STEREO (Darrin Martin, 17:20 minutes video, stereo, 2004/05).
  Documentary and experimental strategies are employed to convey a
  struggle with congenital and operational hearing loss and tinnitus, a
  continual ringing in the ear; a phantom auditory perception. The work
  also stems from research upon the interdependency of the senses with an
  emphasis on the balance ascertained from binaural hearing and
  stereoscopic vision and the imbalance caused by their uneven
  degradation. Images move between poetic manipulations of landscapes,
  interiors and hearing tests. I AM TODAY'S LESSON PLAN (Darrin Martin and
  Torsten Zenas Burns, 10:30 minutes, stereo, 2004). Steve Seid of Pacific
  Film Archive calls it, "An episodic adventure about extra-evolutionary
  transformation. Organized as 'lesson plans', this unique work is an
  ambitious tutorial for the neo-nauts of inner space." AFTERLIFERS:
  WALKING AND TALKING(HalfLifers [Torsten Zenas Burns and Anthony
  Discenza], 23 minutes, stereo, 2004). The HalfLifers exhume cinema's
  favorite incarnation of mindless, decaying mortality, the Zombie, in the
  hopes of breathing new life into this misunderstood figure. From a panel
  discussion in an old TV studio to a quarantined helicopter high above
  California's rolling hills, these life-challenged entities walk, talk,
  and chew on some of the more difficult questions concerning the whole
  linear birth-death system. FREE ADMISSION. VIDEOMAKERS ANTHONY DISCENZA
  AND DARRIN MARTIN WILL BE PRESENT AT THIS SCREENING.

NEW YORK EXPERIMENTAL PRESENTS: ALSO STARRING - AN EVENING OF
PERFORMANCES
  New York Experimental, The Tank's monthly experimental film and video
  screening series, is pleased to present an evening of sound,
  performance, film and discourse curated by Charles Curtis and Raha
  Raissnia. In a rotating constellation of apparently unordered
  diversions, the fleeting and the ephemeral are briefly captured in
  image, thought, association and frequency. Forgoing stereotypes of style
  or genre and omitting what might pass for a headlining act, Also
  Starring seeks to frame the experience of the ineffable through highly
  specific, individual visions. Includes performances by Charles Curtis
  and Raha Raissnia, Jeff Perkins, Spencer Gerhardt, This Invitation,
  Andrew Hurst, and lorenzkrafter. Raha Raissnia and Charles Curtis create
  composite projections of sound and film: superimposed slides and super-8
  using new, found, hand-painted and -manipulated material join with
  closely-tuned sine waves in rational-number frequency ratios. Jeff
  Perkins, dubbed "The Fluxus Taxi Driver" by Nam June Paik, is best known
  for his "Movies for the Blind", blending recorded interviews of his taxi
  passengers with spontaneous performance. Spencer Gerhardt lectures on
  Constructive approaches in mathematics and art. This Invitation play
  sustained, intricate musical numbers of long duration on two electric
  guitars. Collage artist Andrew Hurst layers and re-orders found sound
  objects. lorenzkrafter incorporates elaborate costumes and props in
  multimedia theatrical scenarios. New York Experimental is The Tank's
  monthly experimental film and video series, focusing on unique moving
  picture works from emerging and established artists. The mission of the
  series is to present a wide range of work, in regards to both content
  and aesthetics, from New York based, national, and international
  artists, to a general audience, in a welcoming environment. For
  questions about New York Experimental, including programming and the
  submission process, please contact Susan Agliata at email suppressed

NEW PSYCHEDELIA FROM DAVID COHEN AND SANDY DING
  Recent Cal Arts graduates David Cohen and Sandy Ding, working in close
  collaboration, are reinventing the tradition of optically-printed
  abstract cinema with fragments of narrative, noise music, syncopated
  rhythms, and infectious joy. With the history of the medium in their
  blood, they have created a new psychedelic cinema for the twenty-first
  century. In their recent work, what's old is new again. – Thom Andersen
