Chicago, Illinois: Chicago Filmmakers
http://www.chicagofilmmakers.org/
8:00 pm, Chicago Filmmakers, 5243 N. Clark St.

 CHICAGO'S OWN: LIPSTICK & DYNAMITE: THE FIRST LADIES IN WRESTLING, WITH
 RUTH LEITMANN IN PERSON!
  Chicago's Own: Lipstick & Dynamite: The First Ladies of Wrestling With
  Ruth Leitmann in person! Before Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and the stars of
  Vince McMahon's WWE took pro wrestling to new heights in American
  culture, it was a small, relatively disorganized network of small time
  promoters, con-men, and over-the-top characters who brought their unique
  brand of showmanship to audiences around the nation. A cornerstone of
  the success of these promotions was the rise of women's professional
  wrestling in the 1940's and 50's. Lipstick and Dynamite (USA, 2004, 83
  min.) is a look into the lives of the women who made their living on the
  professional wrestling circuit. Full of outstanding archival footage of
  wrestlers like The Fabulous Moolah and Johnnie Mae Young, Lipstick and
  Dynamite is primarily concerned with the lives of hardship and hard work
  these superstars of the ring created for themselves. It could have been
  the sex, money, injuries, and intrigue that dominated their lives on the
  road, but the competitive passion of these women have for their sport
  shines through in director Ruth Leitman's touching portrait of women who
  lived hard, and fought even harder.

New York, New York: Museum of Modern Art
http://www.moma.org
2pm, 11 West 53 Street

 ERNIE GEHR: MOVING IMAGE MINIMALIST
  For Daniel. 1996. USA. Directed by Ernie Gehr. For Daniel is composed of
  images of Gehr's son Daniel, shot over a period of four years, beginning
  right after Daniel's birth. The film, shot in the tradition of early
  cinema (simple stories, uncluttered framing, uncomplicated shots) but
  also reminiscent of home movies, reflects the child's increasing
  consciousness and mobility. 72 min.

New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
4pm, 32 Second Avenue

 POLISH NEW WAVE SHORT FILM PROGRAM
  Bogdan Dziworski, Gerald Kargl & Zbigniew Rybczynski SKIING SCENES WITH
  FRANZ KLAMMER / SCENY NARCIARSKIE Z FRANZEM KLAMMEREM (1979/1980, 22
  minutes, 35mm, no dialogue) One of the best examples of "creative
  documentary", the paradoxical genre examined and expanded by artists
  from the Lodz Film School, the film presents a biographical-visual
  impression of an Austrian skier-celebrity of the late-70's. Bogdan
  Dziworski & Zbigniew Rybczynski INHALE. EXHALE / WDECH. WYDECH (1981, 30
  minutes, video.) In Polish with English subtitles. An unusual
  documentary focusing on men and women taking a healing vacation at a
  spa. Wojciech Wiszniewski WANDA GOSCIMINSKA – WLOKNIARKA (1975, 21
  minutes, 35mm.) In Polish with English subtitles. The film focuses on a
  symbol and product of communist propaganda of the 50's – the famous
  labor leader Wanda Gosciminska from Lodz, deconstructing the false
  mechanisms, beliefs and rituals of the totalitarian era. Andrzej
  Baranski WINDING PATHS / KRETE SCIEZKI (1970, 7 minutes, 35mm, minimal
  dialogue) A pastiche of the thriller formula, this film constructs
  tension gradually, introducing the viewer into an unknown intrigue. A
  woman leaves her house, followed by her male neighbor – they follow each
  other's paths, but why? Marek Piwowski THE FLY KILLER / MUCHOTLUK (1966,
  12 minutes, 35mm.) In Polish with English subtitles. In a bad vodka
  bar/restaurant, typical of the socialist era, the guests drink too much,
  discuss, flirt, and tell meaningless and pathetic stories in which
  stupidity triumphs over the sublime. The actors – nonprofessionals –
  really are drunk, and the restaurant becomes a metaphor for Poland.
  Zbigniew Rybczynski NEW BOOK / NOWA KSIAZKA (1975, 10.5 minutes, 35mm.)
  In Polish with English subtitles. One of the most important formal
  experiments in Rybczynski's oeuvre, the film divides the screen into
  nine parts. As a man moves through a city, the viewer sees all the
  crucial places he encounters, both during and after his visits.

Chicago, Illinois: White Light Cinema
7:00pm, Cinema Borealis, 1550 N. Milwaukee Ave., 4th Floor

 STAN BRAKHAGE: RARE MASTERPIECES FROM THE 1970'S
  White Light Cinema, a new independent screening series, presents a
  selection of rarely shown 1970's films by Stan Brakhage. The Weir-Falcon
  Saga (1970, 29 minutes): "I cannot describe (...): but there is an
  excerpt from 'The Spoils,' by Basil Bunting, which raises hair on the
  back of my neck similarly: 'Have you seen a falcon stoop/ accurate,
  unforeseen/ and absolute, between/ wind-ripples over harvest? Dead/ of
  what's to be, is and has been--/ were we not better dead?/ His wings
  churn air/ to flight./ Feathers slight/ with sun, he rises where/ dazzle
  rebuts our stare,/ wonder our fright.'" (Brakhage); The Peaceable
  Kingdom (1971, 8 minutes): "This film, one of the most perfect ever
  given to me to make, was inspired by the series of paintings of the same
  title by Edward Hicks." (Brakhage) The Process (1972, 9 minutes); The
  Wold-Shadow (1972, 3 minutes): "'Wold' because the word refers to
  forests which poets later made plains, and because the word also
  contains the rustic sense to kill--this then my laboriously painted
  vision of the god of the forest." (Brakhage); The Shores of Phos: A
  Fable (1972, 10 minutes): "Phos = Light, but then I did also want that
  word within the title which would designate PLACE, as within the
  nationalities of 'the fabulous'--a specific country of the imagination
  with tangible shores, etc. The film adheres strictly to the ordinary
  Form of the classical fable." (Brakhage); Skein (1974, 4 minutes): "'A
  loosely coiled length of yarn (story) ... wound on a reel' -- my
  parenthesis! This is a painted film (inspired by unpainted pictures):
  'skins' of paint hung in a weave of light." (Brakhage); Total running
  time: 63 minutes. All films 16mm, silent. Admission: $7.00-10.00 sliding
  scale.

6pm, 164 N. State St.

 ZACK STIGLICZ: POSTHUMOUSLY YOURS
  When noted Chicago filmmaker, painter, and SAIC faculty member Zack
  Stiglicz passed away this fall, he left behind a singular body of work.
  Originally trained as a political scientist, Stiglicz began a new career
  in art in the late 1980s. His richly textured films and videos weave
  together desire, violence, masculinity and metaphysics, "literally
  shred[ing] images of dreams, memories, symbols, and myths into a
  multi-layered, molten, fin-de-siècle statement" (MoMA). They remain,
  writes Shellie Fleming, Stiglicz's wife and fellow filmmaker, "both as
  documentation and as experiences for the audience…mercurial, volatile,
  yet infinitely tender." Aristophanes on Broadway (1991); Coiled (1991);
  Nothing, Nobody, Nowhere (1994); God the Pugilist (1996); Murder Will
  Out (2001); posthumously yours (2003). (1991–2003, USA, multiple
  formats, ca 90 min.)

 TO THE MOON, FIFTY YEARS AGO
  January 31 is the fiftieth anniversary of the first successful launch of
  an American artificial satellite, the Pioneer I. Motion pictures, of
  course, had been launching mankind into space much earlier. This
  program, drawn from the collections in Anthology's vault, celebrates
  that aspiration, with screenings of Georges Méliès's TRIP TO THE MOON,
  Ed Emshwiller's PROJECT APOLLO (it was because of this film that
  Emshwiller was unable to help Stanley Kubrick in making 2001: A SPACE
  ODYSSEY), 1970 by Scott Bartlett (which weaves imagery of space flight
  into life on earth one year after the first moon landing) and Jim
  Davis's abstract SEA RHYTHMS (which finds echoes of the ocean in the ebb
  and flow of energy in deep space). Georges Méliès VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE /
  TRIP TO THE MOON (1902, 12 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent) Ed Emshwiller
  PROJECT APOLLO (1968, 30 minutes, video, color, sound) Scott Bartlett
  1970 (1972, 30 minutes, 16mm, color, sound) Jim Davis SEA RHYTHMS (1971,
  10 minutes, 16mm, color, silent) Total running time: ca. 85 minutes.

Bracknell: South Hill Park
http://www.electronicsunset.org
2-4, South Hill Park, Ringmead, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12 7PA

 GOODBYE, VILE EARTH!
  2008 marks the 100th anniversary of the first manned powered flight in
  Britain, made by former cowboy Samuel Cody over Farnborough Common. The
  Common became home to the now defunct Royal Aircraft Establishment, a
  top-secret military complex and what was one of the most important
  aeronautical research centres in the world. Goodbye, Vile Earth! is the
  result of a residency at Farnborough Air Sciences Trust, set up by ex
  employees to maintain the RAE's history. Contained within the museum and
  several storage containers are thousands of artifacts, films,
  declassified reports and photographs- many of which will be shown in
  public here for the first time. Hollington & Kyprianou use elements from
  the archive to create a time line of the working life and scientific
  projects of the RAE, combined with contemporary interviews exploring the
  pathology of archiving and its communication, in effect creating an
  archive of the archivists. A second timeline, a subjective history of
  modern art, will run alongside, allowing an appraisal of how discoveries
  and developments in both changed our perceptions of, and the actual
  physical and social structures of the world. Amongst The RAE projects
  were the development of the Spitfire, the bouncing bomb, ejection seats,
  the jet engine and Concorde. The RAE was also home to the British space
  programme, which for a time in the 1960's was one of the leaders in the
  field of rocket technology. Intrinsically entwined with this industrial
  history is a rich social and cultural one, including the mass
  mobilization of female workforces, shifting gender and class
  hierarchies, the secrecy and myths surrounding the site, and the
  question of ethics in relation to scientific industrial military
  research. Goodbye Vile Earth! is a misquote of the Italian Futurist
  Filippo Marinetti, whose love of flight led him to see a future where
  humanity abandons terra forma for a life permanently in the skies. He
  actually wrote "Hoorah! No more contact with the vile earth!" in the
  Futurist manifesto, published in 1909, the year after Cody's first
  flight on Farnborough Common. Simon Hollington & Kypros Kyprianou's
  previous collaborative projects have been shown nationally and
  internationally, including The ICA London and the 51st Venice Biennale.
  Launch Event Saturday 2nd February 2-4pm. Admission Free Gallery open:
  Wednesday 7.30-9.30pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday 1-9.30pm Sunday 1-5pm
  Free ARC gallery talk on Sunday 16 March 3pm With the generous support
  of Farnborough Air Sciences Trust, South Hill Park, SCAN, Space Media

 COLEN FITZGIBBON
  The Royal Film Archive of Belgium is delighted to bring a special

  (aka "George Landow"), Stan Brakhage, and Michael Snow, Fitzgibbon made
  some of her most rigorous 16mm structural films, screening at numerous
  international film festivals and museums, including EXPRMNTL 5 at
  Knokke-Heist in Belgium, Institute of Contemporary Art in London,
  Anthology Film Archives, Collective For Living Cinema, and Millennium
  Film Workshop in New York. Films to be screened: Found Film Flashes
  (1973), FM/TRCS (1974), Internal Systems (1975), Restoring appearances

  discuss her work.

 MILWAUKEE FILMMAKER TATE BUNKER IN PERSON!
  Filmmaker Tate Bunker in Person! We are proud to present the first
  Chicago screening of films by Tate Bunker, who was named "Best Milwaukee
  Filmmaker" for two years by the Milwaukee International Film Festival.
  Bunker's improvisational creative techniques, lush images, and fluid
  editing have won him acclaim for both his experimental shorts and
  feature, narrative work. Most recently, he received a cinematography
  award at the 2007 Paris Film Festival. Screening are his short works
  Perceval (2007, 16 min.)- An Arthurian tale, this short film explores
  man's inhumanity; Starlite (2006, 18 min.)- A scientist with the
  insurmountable desire and a singular quest of reaching the stars is
  making a rocket to soar high into his lover's arms above; A Better Life
  (2005, 8 min.)- Shot on 35mm stills, the film explores human
  conditioning as it applies to memory, perception, and idiosyncrasies
  that may confuse and distort the rituals of our daily lives. A young
  woman endures fashion as a means to a better life; Perception (1998, 7
  min.)- Five years in the making, Perception is the journey of emotions
  from pure pleasure to extreme suffering; Frightful Spider (2001, 8
  min.)- Based on the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet, a violinist is
  continually scolded and belittled by his dancer and is teased and
  tricked by a rooftop prankster; The Practice of Archery (1999, 8 min.)-
  Inspired by Eugen Herrigel's book Zen in the Art of Archery, the archer
  loses her bow and must use her unconsciousness to power her arrows; The
  Hermit Crab (2000, 9 min.)- A film inspired by the crab canon presented
  in Douglas R. Hofstadter's book Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden
  Braid. Q & A to follow.

 THE FLOATING WORLD OF PAT O’NEILL – THE FIRST OF TWO NIGHTS OF FILMS
  Pat O'Neill is Los Angeles's true avant-garde master, creating
  beautiful, moody films with floating mattes, variable film speeds,
  ghostly layering, wry wit, and masterful soundtracks, all working
  together to form a fractured almost-narrative, a reflection on the lost
  spaces and times of our city. Tonight we'll be screening: Trouble in the
  Image (1996, 35mm, color, 38 min.) Horizontal Boundaries (2005, 35mm,
  color, 23 min.) Coreopsis (1998, 35mm, 9 min.)
