10/27
Greenbelt, Maryland: Utopia Film Festival-Urban/Rural Program 3
http://www.utopiafilmfestival.org/
12noon, municipal building

 URBAN/RURAL LANDSCAPES IN FILM AND VIDEO
  Urban/Rural Landscapes Curated by local filmmaker Chris Lynn
  Experimental Shorts, 90 minute program A program of captivating and
  challenging experimental shorts by moving image artists from around the
  globe. The films include: Observation of a Satellite by Andrew Busti and
  Layne Garrett (4 minutes). An homage to the enchanted wanderer, Joseph
  Cornell. Interstate (part one) by Cortlund and Halperin (6 minutes). A
  night surveillance artifact. Elephants and zebras move in circadian
  rhythm while traffic flashes across the stream in waves. Iceland by
  Fabiene Gautier (4 minutes). Iceland's landsape seems to reflect a
  particular internlization of feeling. It speaks to the internal mind.
  London 6 by Chris Lynn (5 minutes). A typical Sunday near a London train
  station provides the backdrop to this meditative and transformative
  piece. Premonition by Dominic Angerame (10 minutes). Influenced by the
  avant garde filmmakers of the 1920s-30s, this is a city symphony that is
  haunting, lyrical, and serene. Berlin Warszawa Express by Caroline
  Koebel (19 minutes). A disappearance becomes a departure, but rather
  than attempting to reconstitute what is lost,the filmmaker follows the
  clues and signs framing the site with an anticipatory gaze. Midden by
  David Dinnell (20 minutes). Shot in rural Japan, a video that documents
  the rapidily disappearing landscape near Mt.Tsukuba. I'm Back by Robert
  Robertson (13 minutes). Spike Hawkins' poems are set to film in an
  attempt to capture what happens at the moment a poem is being written.
  Screening Saturday, October 27 at 12:00 noon at the Greenbelt Municipal
  Building

 CAPITALISM: CHILD LABOR
  CAPITALISM: CHILD LABOR (Ken Jacobs, USA 2006, 14 mins looped) Ken
  Jacobs continues his interrogation of archival sources by deconstructing
  a single stereoscopic photograph from the Victorian era. The image of
  barefoot children in a textile mill is spun into a critique of
  capitalism and the workforce of child labour which sustained the
  industrial revolution. With a dizzying array of visual techniques, space
  is condensed, expanded, flipped and cropped, accompanied by Rick Reed's
  compelling soundtrack. [Free Admission]

 THE ‘I’ AND THE ‘WE’
  SEEING RED (Su Friedrich, USA 2005, 27 mins) A video confessional in
  which the artist expresses her frustration with the onset of middle age,
  frankly declaring personal anxieties. Interspersed with observational
  vignettes edited to Bach's Goldberg Variations (played by Glenn Gould),
  Seeing Red is ultimately less an admission of crisis than a roar of
  defiance. JE SUIS UNE BOMBE (Elodie Pong, Switzerland 2006, 7 mins)
  Unprecedented and absolute: The image of a young woman 'simultaneously
  strong and vulnerable, a potential powder keg.' I JUST WANTED TO BE
  SOMEBODY (Jay Rosenblatt, USA 2006, 10 mins) American pop singer Anita
  Bryant, the face of Florida orange juice, led a political crusade
  against the 'evil forces' of homosexuality in the 1970s. Local success
  was short lived, and a national boycott of Florida oranges was the first
  sign of her loss of public approval. REGARDING THE PAIN OF SUSAN SONTAG
  (NOTES ON CAMP) (Steve Reinke, Canada 2006, 4 mins) A journey from
  schoolyard to graveyard, with author Susan Sontag as philosophical
  guide. PART TIME HEROES (Mara Mattuschka, Chris Haring, Austria 2007, 33
  mins) Mattuschka's second adaptation of a piece by Vienna's ingenious
  Liquid Loft (following Legal Errorist in 2004) exposes a trio of
  fractured characters. In the lonely hearts hotel of an unfamiliar zone,
  the amorphous heroes erratically construct and reveal their
  unconventional personas.

 PAST IMPERFECT
  HYSTERIA (Christina Battle, Canada 2006, 4 mins) Through the
  manipulation of drawings of the Salem witch trials, using techniques
  which include peeling layers of emulsion from the filmstrip, oblique
  parallels are drawn with modern day hysteria. DANGEROUS SUPPLEMENT
  (Soon-Mi Yoo, USA-Korea 2006, 14 mins) 'Is it possible to see the
  landscape of the past even though it was first seen by the other's
  murderous gaze?' Dangerous Supplement poetically appropriates footage
  shot by US military to explore the secrets of the mountain, and the
  legacy of the Korean War. CATALOGUE OF BIRDS: BOOK 3 (Jayne Parker, UK
  2006, 16 mins) Following World War II, Messiaen's fascination with
  birdsong inspired many compositions, and dominates the monumental
  'Catalogue d'Oiseaux' of 1959. Jayne Parker has created a visual
  interpretation of the third movement – The Tawny Owl and The Woodlark –
  which evokes the habitat and symbolism of these nocturnal birds. HIS EYE
  ON THE SPARROW (Bruce Conner, USA 2006, 4 mins) The power of music
  transports the founders of the Soul Stirrers gospel quartet back in time
  to the Depression Era. A poignant refrain by a master of found footage.
  MARGUERITE DURAS, ALAIN RESNAIS (0.65, 0.85, 1.0 FPS) (David Dempewolf,
  USA 2007, 19 mins) The opening act of Hiroshima, Mon Amor has been
  condensed and structured, with urgent repetition, to reconstitute the
  dialogue between Duras' text and Resnais' vision. Words assume priority
  as potent images are crudely masked, emphasising details and inviting
  fresh analysis of this powerful sequence. HELENÉS (APPARITION OF
  FREEDOM) (Christoph Draeger, Switzerland 2005, 18 mins) Helenés combines
  two examples of propaganda from East and West. A bleak Hungarian
  instructional film on nuclear attack is presented in its entirely,
  strategically subtitled with text from George Bush's inauguration speech
  (an idiosyncratic interpretation of the concept of freedom).

 CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN
  Newly preserved prints. Carolee Schneemann is a multi-media artist whose
  films, performances, installations and writings are a radical discourse
  on the body, sexuality and gender. FUSES (Carolee Schneemann, USA
  1964-67, 29 mins) Fuses is a vibrant celebration of a passionate
  relationship, openly portraying sexual intercourse without the
  objectification of pornography. To extend the tactile intimacy of
  lovemaking to filmmaking, Schneemann treated the filmstrips as a canvas,
  working by hand to paint, transform and cut the footage into a dense
  collage. The erotic energy of the body is transferred directly onto the
  film material. Recently preserved by Anthology Film Archives, this
  legendary work glows with a clarity unseen since its debut in the 1960s.
  KITCH'S LAST MEAL (Carolee Schneemann, USA 1973-76, c.60 mins) The
  moving conclusion to the autobiographical trilogy which began with
  Fuses, Kitch's Last Meal documents the routines of daily life. It was
  shot on the Super-8 home movie format and is projected double screen
  (one image above the other) as an interchangeable set of 18-minute
  reels. The soundtrack mixes personal reminiscences with ambient sounds
  of the household, and includes the original text used for Schneemann's
  1975 performance 'Interior Scroll'. Time passes, a relationship winds
  down and death closes in: filming and recording stopped when the elderly
  cat Kitch, Schneemann's closest companion for two decades, died. Each
  performance of the film in its original state was a re-ordering of the
  visual and aural materials, arranged by the artist according to mood and
  environment. For the preservation print, three pairs of reels have been
  selected and blown up to 16mm.

 MYSTERIOUS EMULSION
  WATER SPELL (Sandy Ding, USA 2007, 42 mins) A journey from realism to a
  supersensory realm, slipping under the surface and between molecules at
  a microscopic scale. Channeling the subconscious, Water Spell is both
  odyssey and invocation; a ritual of transformation and retinal blast.
  The film releases the energy locked within its frames through flickering
  pulsations of light. BLUE MONET (Carl E. Brown, Canada 2006, 56 mins)
  (double screen) Rarely shown in the UK, Carl Brown is a long-established
  film artist whose practice is dedicated to the modification of images by
  chemical means. Blue Monet is an homage to the French Impressionist, and
  an attempt to bring the Monet experience into the realm of cinema.
  Through the ebb and flow of intricate imagery, water lilies eternally
  blossom and fade with otherworldly grace. Brown has used his alchemical
  techniques to transfer Monet's sense of colour, light, sky and water
  onto film. Viewed in spacious double-screen and enhanced by swathes of
  sound, this film is an immersive experience.

 3 BY CHARLES BURNETT
  MY BROTHER'S WEDDING (1983/2007) Pierce Mundy works at his parent's
  South Central dry cleaners with no prospects for the future and his
  childhood buddies in prison or dead. With his best friend just getting
  out of jail and his brother planning a wedding, Pierce navigates his
  conflicting obligations while trying to figure out what he really wants
  in life. QUIET AS KEEP (2007) Charles Burnett's recent short about
  Hurricane Katrina. KILLER OF SHEEP (1977) Now recognized as a landmark
  independent filmmaker, Charles Burnett shot his first feature on the
  streets of South Central Los Angeles in the early 1970s. Rather than
  sensationalizing its "inner-city" setting, the film provides and
  unforgettable vision of working-class life.

 THE ANAGOGIC CHAMBER
  FILM FOR INVISIBLE INK, CASE NO: 71: BASE-PLUS-FOG (David Gatten, USA
  2006, 10 mins) 'Just barely a whisper. The minimum density, the
  slightest shape. A series of measurements, an equation for living. The
  edge of what matters, the contours of an idea. A selection of
  coordinates for finding one's way back.' SHADOW TRAP (Greg Pope,
  UK-Norway 2007, 8 mins) Shards of emulsion produced during an
  auto-destructive film performance have been layered and structured onto
  clear 35mm. Extending across the soundtrack area, the synaesthetic image
  creates an intense volley of sound and light. THE OBJECT WHICH THINKS
  US: OBJECT 1 (Samantha Rebello, UK 2007, 7 mins) Utilitarian objects,
  related to health and hygiene, rendered in unconventional ways. This
  unsettling film questions the way that we relate to our surroundings by
  exploring the 'radical otherness' of things. FUGITIVE L(I)GHT (Izabella
  Pruska-Oldenhof, Canada 2005, 9 mins) Adrift on the mists of time,
  archival images of Loïe Fuller's 'Serpentine Dance' shimmer forth and
  dissolve in folds of abstract colour. SICK SERENA AND DREGS AND WRECK
  AND WRECK (Emily Wardill, UK 2007, 10 mins) A farce of fractures: part
  study of allegorical stained glass windows, part fiction of disparate
  doppelgangers. VICTORY OVER THE SUN (Michael Robinson, USA 2007, 13
  mins) Viewed through science fiction or scientific innovation, the
  future is as far away now as it ever was. Sites of past World's Fairs
  witness battles between good and evil, the spirit world and the cold
  hard light of day. TODAY! (Jessie Stead, David Gatten, USA 2007, 11
  mins) 'Touch what you see when you find it or pick it up. Fall off
  tomorrow's promise, not injured and again. In the woods there is snow,
  in the water there is sugar, bodies are made of salt and (yesterday is
  unaware).'

 NOW WAIT FOR LAST YEAR
  NOW WAIT FOR LAST YEAR (Rachel Reupke, UK-China 2007, 9 mins looped) In
  response to the rapid pace of property development in Beijing, Reupke
  references the visual style of architectural practice and corporate
  videos to present a sequence of fixed views of urban landscapes.
  Buildings which share the characteristics of both traditional and
  futuristic design are displayed, but all is not what it seems. Digital
  images cannot be trusted: these could be plans for future structures or
  computer-aided fantasy. [Free Admission]

 OVER LAND AND SEA
  THE IVALO RIVER DELTA (Patrick Beveridge, UK 2007, 17 mins) Shot within
  the Arctic Circle in northern Lapland, the film documents the landscape
  and lively night sky of an icy wilderness. The Aurora Borealis and other
  extraordinary phenomena are captured through long exposures and stunning
  time-lapse photography. AT SEA (Peter Hutton, USA 2007, 60 mins) Peter
  Hutton has modestly spoken of his work as being 'a little detour' from
  the history of cinema but perhaps he is following a path that others
  have neglected, or are yet to discover. Typified by fixed shots of
  extended duration, his concentrated gaze builds a bridge between early
  cinema, landscape painting and still photography, evoking Lumière,
  Turner and Stieglitz. Hutton's camera often records the subtle changes
  of light and atmospheric conditions of rural and urban locations, and
  has frequently been directed toward nautical themes. This new film is
  essentially about the birth, life and death of large merchant ships.
  Following the construction of the vessels in South Korea and the passage
  of a massive container ship across the North Atlantic, it ends with
  images of shipbreaking in Bangladesh. At Sea is a real tour-de-force, in
  which the weight and scale of its subject is conveyed by masterful
  cinematography over a series of breathtaking compositions.

 THE PERCIPIENT IMAGE
  DISCOVERIES ON THE FOREST FLOOR 1-3 (Charlotte Pryce, USA 2007, 4 mins)
  'Three miniature, illuminated, hagiographic studies of plants observed
  and imagined, hand-processed and optically printed.' THE SKY WALKS ME
  HOME Allen D. Glass II, USA-China 2005, 24 mins) A journey through
  China, visiting northern provinces, Inner Mongolia, Tibet and Beijing.
  The filmmaker travelled alone, photographing the landscape and
  inhabitants of this extraordinary region with a keen and compassionate
  eye. THE CROSSING (Timoleon Wilkins, USA 2007, 6 mins) Crowns of light
  and subtle gradations of colour are refracted through extreme close-ups
  of natural phenomena. Moments of sentience, an elevation of
  consciousness. THE BREATH (Minyong Jang, Korea 2007, 10 mins) 'A
  respiratory exchange between me and a bamboo forest.' PITCHER OF COLORED
  LIGHT (Robert Beavers, USA 2007, 24 mins) Following the completion of
  his 17-film cycle 'My Hand Outstretched', Beavers travelled to New
  England to photograph the solitude of his mother's house. Employing a
  more intimate approach to filming, he created this tender portrait which
  contrasts a dark interior with the vibrancy of an abundant garden. As
  seasons pass, the camera searches through shadows, conveying the slowed
  pace of life in old age.

 SEVEN EASY PIECES BY MARINA ABRAMOVIC
  SEVEN EASY PIECES BY MARINA ABRAMOVIC (Babette Mangolte, USA 2007, 93
  mins) For one week in November 2005, Yugoslavian artist Marina Abramovic
  gave seven consecutive performances in the rotunda of the Guggenheim
  Museum in New York City, presenting her own works alongside
  interpretations of what are now regarded as seminal performance pieces
  by artists such as Joseph Beuys and Bruce Nauman. Actions that were once
  performed to select audiences in studios or small galleries were
  transformed into public spectacle. The artist's own 'Lips of Thomas' is
  an intense ritual that repeatedly subjects the body to physical pain,
  being clearly related to her country's war torn past. Other
  uncompromising works address sexuality (Vito Acconci, 'Seedbed'),
  confrontation (Valie Export, 'Genital Panic') and suffering (Gina Pane,
  'The Conditioning'). The performances, executed with extraordinary
  discipline and composure, test the thresholds of endurance and
  determination. Babette Mangolte's mesmerising document of this event
  condenses the entire series into 90 minutes. The camera, cool and
  detached, rarely strays from the artists' body, detailing mental and
  physical tension with the sharp clarity of high definition video. Live
  art, best experienced in the moment, has rarely been captured with such
  atmosphere.

 THE FILMS OF LECH MAJEWSKI
  GOSPEL ACCORDING TO HARRY (USA, 1992) Starring Viggo Mortensen before he
  became famous, this maverick allegory takes place, according to
  Majewski, when "the Pacific has dried up and California has become a
  desert. A couple try to make the best of it but life is hard; even sex
  hurts. The only person who enjoys himself is Harry, the Tax collector."

 PETER HUTTON IN THE ELEMENTS
  Films by Peter Hutton appear more closely related to landscape painting
  and still photography than contemporary cinema. In their stately
  portrayal of urban and rural locations, they afford the viewer a
  rarefied and highly-focused mode of looking, a stillness seemingly at
  odds with everyday life. Over shots of extended duration, the world
  reveals itself before the camera, which often records only subtle
  changes of light and atmospheric conditions. For this screening at Tate
  Modern, Peter Hutton will introduce works, made on land and sea, which
  relate to the elements of earth, air, fire and water. All 16mm films by
  Peter Hutton. NEW YORK PORTRAIT: CHAPTER 2 (1980-81, b/w, silent, 16
  mins) BOSTON FIRE (1979, b/w, silent, 8 mins) IMAGES OF ASIAN MUSIC (A
  DIARY FROM LIFE) (1973-74, b/w, silent, 29 mins) LANDSCAPE (FOR MANON)
  (1986-87, b/w, silent, 19 mins) IN TITAN'S GOBLET (1991, b/w, silent, 10
  mins). Peter Hutton began making films in 1970 and has work in the
  collections of the Whitney Museum, Centre Georges Pompidou, George
  Eastman House and the Austrian Film Museum. A former merchant seaman, he
  has been a professor of film at Bard College in the Hudson River Valley
  since 1985. His most recent film, AT SEA, will screen in the London Film
  Festival on Sunday 28 October.

 SEVEN EASY PIECES BY MARINA ABRAMOVIC
  SEVEN EASY PIECES BY MARINA ABRAMOVIC (Babette Mangolte, USA 2007, 93
  mins) For one week in November 2005, Yugoslavian artist Marina Abramovic
  gave seven consecutive performances in the rotunda of the Guggenheim
  Museum in New York City, presenting her own works alongside
  interpretations of what are now regarded as seminal performance pieces
  by artists such as Joseph Beuys and Bruce Nauman. Actions that were once
  performed to select audiences in studios or small galleries were
  transformed into public spectacle. The artist's own 'Lips of Thomas' is
  an intense ritual that repeatedly subjects the body to physical pain,
  being clearly related to her country's war torn past. Other
  uncompromising works address sexuality (Vito Acconci, 'Seedbed'),
  confrontation (Valie Export, 'Genital Panic') and suffering (Gina Pane,
  'The Conditioning'). The performances, executed with extraordinary
  discipline and composure, test the thresholds of endurance and
  determination. Babette Mangolte's mesmerising document of this event
  condenses the entire series into 90 minutes. The camera, cool and
  detached, rarely strays from the artists' body, detailing mental and
  physical tension with the sharp clarity of high definition video. Live
  art, best experienced in the moment, has rarely been captured with such
  atmosphere.

 OUR DAILY BREAD
  Our Daily Bread (2006, 92 mins.) by NIKOLAUS GEYRHALTER.This
  unforgettable documentary reveals the little-known world of high-tech
  agriculture. In a series of visually stunning, continuously tracking,
  wide-screen images that seem right out of a science-fiction movie, we
  see the places where food is cultivated and processed: surreal
  landscapes optimized for agricultural machinery, clean rooms in cool
  industrial buildings designed for maximum efficiency, and elaborate
  machines that operate on a 'disassembly line' basis. "Devastating! A

 A SENSE OF PLACE: TED LYMAN IN BUFFALO NOV 1-2, 2007
  Since the early seventies, Ted Lyman has been engaged with experimental
  filmmaking, creating films inspired by the American Avant-Garde. Through
  his ensuing career he has maintained a belief in the power of the
  extraordinary syntax of the moving image exposed and explored by that
  movement. The overall strategy of his filmmaking is to use the syntax in
  ways that are legible and illuminating to the general viewer. While his
  works differ in content and appearance, they all are founded on a sense
  of place, interaction with nature, and a commitment to expression by
  visual, non-narrative means. Hallwalls and the University at Buffalo are
  pleased to welcome this Vermont based filmmaker to Buffalo. Lyman's
  visit will include a retrospective screening at Hallwalls on Thursday
  November 1st at 8pm, and a workshop at the University at Buffalo on
  Friday November 2nd at noon. The screening at Hallwalls will include
  16mm films SCOTLAND WITH NO CLOTHES (1977), FLA.ME (1982), TESTAMENT OF
  THE RABBIT (1989(, FIRST SURFACE (1996) and FLAT EARTH (a work in
  progress). Tickets are $7 general, $5 students/seniors, and $4 members.
  The workshop at the University at Buffalo, hosted by Deptartment of
  Media Study Asst. Prof. Caroline Koebel, will feature a screening of
  Lyman's 1979 film MANSACTS. This program was curated and organized by
  Caroline Koebel and Carolyn Tennant, and is co-sponsored by the UB
  College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Media Study, and the
  Experimental Television Center.

  Co-presented by the Video Data Bank. Julia Meltzer and David Thorne in
  person! The effects of state secrets and political uncertainty are at
  the center of LA-based artist-duo The Speculative Archive's (Julia
  Meltzer and David Thorne) work. The two create electrifyingly smart and
  poetic videos about the ways governments "revision" history and the ways
  that history shapes our present-day lives and hopes for the future. Shot
  in Syria, their latest videos foray into that future, exploring the way
  everyday people imagine what might come to pass as their nation
  struggles between the forces of a repressive regime, a growing
  conservative Islamic movement, and mounting pressures from the United
  States. In NOT A MATTER OF IF BUT WHEN… (2006) Syrian performer Rami
  Farah, allegorizes the complications, frustrations, and heartache of the
  Middle East's current state-of-affairs through a series of extraordinary
  vignettes. The prize-winning WE WILL LIVE TO SEE THESE THINGS, OR, FIVE
  PICTURES OF WHAT MAY COME TO PASS (2007) pieces together five competing
  visions of Syria's future to create a compelling portrait of Syria
  today. (2006–07, Syria/USA, Beta SP video, ca 70 min)
