2/16
Chicago, Illinois: Chicago Filmmakers
http://www.chicagofilmmakers.org/
8:00 pm, Chicago Filmmakers, 5243 N. Clark St.

 ART DOCS SERIES: CPH REMIX AND THE SUBCONSCIOUS ART OF GRAFFITI REMOVAL
  Art Docs Series: CPH Remix Copenhagen, a small but famous capital in
  Europe known for the Tivoli, the Little Mermaid and the Royal Family,
  also has a very different visual aspect, which is explored in CPH Remix,
  directed by Runar Gudnason & Ulrik Gutkin (Denmark, 2005, 39 min.).
  Everywhere around the city, street-artists are adding their stories,
  emotions and expressions to Copenhagen's walls and tunnels. While the
  city is dressing up for its biggest "fairytale" event of the last four
  decades -- the royal wedding between Crown Prince Frederik and his
  Australian fiancée -- two local artists are working intensely in the
  streets with their art. Meanwhile a desperate graffiti remover from the
  city council is trying to clean up the "mess" before the giant event.
  This film follows the two artists in their work and gets close to the
  human need to express itself: a need that even the graffiti remover has
  to acknowledge in the end. Through these two artists' work we sense the
  organism of a big modern city in Europe. Also screening: The
  Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal, directed by Matt McCormick (USA,
  2001, 17 min.).

2/16
Los Angeles, California: Redcat
http://www.redcat.org/
noon, 1:30pm and 3pm, 631 W. 2nd St

 REDCAT INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S FILM FESTIVAL
  Now in its third year, this audience favorite offers a world of
  sparkling cinematic delights with three weekends of inspired animation,
  exhilarating live-action and rarely-shown films from more than 15
  countries. Film lovers of all ages are invited to take this eye-opening
  journey around the globe—and revel in a treasure trove of unforgettable
  stories. Each screening $5

2/16
Santa Fe, NM. USA: SITE Santa Fe
http://www.sitesantafe.org/exhibitions/exhibitfr.html
5:00 PM, 1606 Paseo de Peralta

 STEINA
  SITE Santa Fe is organizing the first retrospective of the Icelandic
  artist Steina, a canonical figure in the world of new media art, who now
  resides in Santa Fe. Long considered a pioneer in the field by artists
  and curators alike, Steina was an early collaborator with Woody Vasulka,
  and one of the original co-founders of The Kitchen in New York. For over
  three decades, she has been making art that has expanded the boundaries
  of video technology and electronic imaging. Through an ongoing process
  of experimentation and play, she deftly merged the unlikely and complex
  languages of electrical engineering and musical composition into a
  visual aesthetic that has set her apart from her contemporaries. This
  exhibition will provide a chronological survey of her work, and includes
  approximately 25 of her single channel videos and five multi-screen
  installations from 1970-2000. She will also recreate her significant
  solo performance, Violin Power (first performed in 1970), accompanied by
  video installations screening two of her previous performances of the
  work during the 1970s and more recently, 2003. Steina's video
  projection-based environments, which are variable in scale and
  dimension, anticipated the large-scale multi-screen projections that
  dominate much of today's video art. SITE will also publish a
  ground-breaking monograph complete with color reproductions, a critical
  essay by new media curator Steve Deitz, and a transcribed interview
  between Steina and renowned film/media scholar Gene Youngblood. The
  catalog will significantly enhance the limited state of Steina
  scholarship, and more broadly, will re-position Steina within the art
  historical canon.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Cinematheque Ontario
http://www.bell.ca/cinematheque
7:30 p.m., Art Gallery of Ontario’s Jackman Hall (317 Dundas Street West)

 JAMES BENNING'S CASTING A GLANCE AT CINEMATHEQUE ONTARIO
  TORONTO PREMIERE of James Benning's casting a glance(USA, 2007, 80
  minutes).James Benning, progenitor of some of the most breathtaking
  images in all of contemporary cinema, casts his visionary glance upon
  Robert Smithson's legendary Spiral Jetty. Having premiered at the
  Documenta art fair in Kassel, Germany, and already a hit on the festival
  circuit, casting a glance is both a document of a famous work of art and
  a work of art in itself, using the language of cinema to render the
  awesome beauty of a coveted landscape, one which firmly belongs to the
  filmmaker's intuitive vision of the world. Benning's new film takes us
  on a guided pilgrimage that is as revealing as it is oblique. While the
  footage, which masterfully captures this ephemeral splendour, was
  recorded from 2005 to 2007, its assemblage ingeniously maps the Jetty
  over almost thirty-seven years of existence and ultimately invites us to
  question the truth of the image. – Andréa Picard

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Pleasure Dome
http://www.pdome.org/
8 pm, 129 Spadina Ave., Cinecycle

 EROS AND WONDER BY R. BRUCE ELDER (IN PERSON)
  R. Bruce Elder has been an avant-garde visionary in the realm of
  experimental cinema for over thirty years. Deeply passionate about
  non-narrative filmmaking, the man and his works have inspired a new
  generation of experimental filmmakers. In 2007 he was honoured by the
  Canada Council for the Arts with a prestigious Governor General's Award
  in Visual and Media Arts. In addition to being a prolific filmmaker he
  is also an author, critic and influential educator. Eros and Wonder
  (2002) is a mysterious meditation on existence, inspired by spirituality
  and erotic wonder. Elder's work is not easy – this multi-layered film is
  complex, revealing a deeply excavated psyche. Eros and Wonder is a
  passionate, mildly apocalyptic and beautiful film. The physicality of
  Eros and Wonder – flashes of images, layered surfaces of poetry and
  sound – is a visceral experience. The soundtrack combines distorted
  voice-over with romantic music. Visually the film uses both analog and
  digital technologies to create a dense vocabulary of footage of urban
  landscapes, historic German locations, and both sexual and sensual
  images of a female body. He transfers the film footage to video, then
  uses this technology to alter the footage before outputting the film
  back onto 16mm. "The final stage (transferring and screening the
  projects on film) is at the heart of all of my conceptualization,
  planning and production. The final project should be viewed in its
  entirety, and viewed on film – the experience is truly unique." There is
  the desire on the part of the viewer to decipher the opaque surfaces of
  images and sound stacked upon each other, each layer resonating and
  rubbing against the other in constant friction. However, a narrative is
  always out of reach, spurring the viewer on, keeping them entranced in
  his erotic vision. Elder makes the viewer an accomplice in his deeply
  excavated psyche, asking the viewer to keep searching, to dig deeper in
  their own attempt for meaning.

San Francisco, California: San Francisco Cinematheque
http://www.sfcinematheque.org
7:30 pm, 701 Mission St/YBCA

  JESSIE STEAD/ROBERT NELSON: INHALE THE MICROCOSM
  First prize winner at the 2007 Ann Arbor Film Festival, Jessie Stead's
  "structuralist road movie" Foggy Mountains Breakdown More Than Non-Foggy
  Mountains explores the magical mundanity of byway wandering (as well as
  the pleasures and absurdities of cinematic structuralism) with an
  endlessly mutating parade of Super-8 travelogue, abstract direct
  animation, transient poetics, and version after version of the Flatt &
  Scruggs bluegrass classic. Described by Ed Halter as "a strange brew of
  visual semi-sequiturs and relentless editorial logic," Foggy
  Mountains... receives its West Coast premiere tonight alongside Robert
  Nelson's long-rumored and virtually unscreened 1997 masterpiece Hauling
  Toto Big (also an Ann Arbor honoree). Decades in the making, Hauling...
  is Foggy...'s perfect complement, colliding a sprawling and unruly
  reality—complete with crazed carnies and rundown ranch hands—with
  Nelson's own idiosyncratic brand of home-brew formalism. $10, general;
  $6, members, students, disabled, seniors.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Cinematheque Ontario
http://www.bell.ca/cinematheque
4:45 p.m., Art Gallery of Ontario’s Jackman Hall (317 Dundas Street West)

 R. BRUCE ELDER'S THE BOOK OF ALL THE DEAD: PART TWO CONTINUED AT
 CINEMATHEQUE ONTARIO
  PART TWO: CONSOLATIONS (LOVE IS AN ART OF TIME). "So, the failure of the
  project of LAMENTATIONS turned the next series of films, CONSOLATIONS,
  toward the question of what it would be, specifically, to be a saint for
  our time, the time of the 'Between.'" – R. Bruce Elder. In this
  wasteland of Purgatory, we ponder the lessons of Elder's guides who have
  wandered between Heaven and Hell like Pound and Heidegger, and with his
  patron saints Spinoza and Weil, we find the consolation of philosophy: a
  footing in the accepted necessity of the natural order and the course of
  history, while waiting for the gift of divine grace. PART 2: THE LIGHTED
  CLEARING (1988, 275 minutes).

7:00, 400 South Peoria Street

 OH MY G-D! GALLERY 400 PRESENTS "THE RELIGIOUS SHOW"
  Oh, these are heady times for us (Non) Believers – in the face of
  eternal War, unending Famine, and economic Pestilence, we flutter like
  so many moths towards the one bright light that might still save us from
  ourselves. We kneel at the marquee, break popcorn, and raise our eyes to
  that "sweaty, flaring, rectangular body" of CINEMA for our (non) secular
  deliverance, for a brighter reflection of our past/present/future lives.
  Oh, there has been much talk of CHANGE AND LEADERSHIP of late, but here,
  at last, is a REAL SOLUTION: from the Flames of Hell to the Clouds of
  Heaven, from Satanic Sacrifice to Bushmen Trance, from Grocery Store
  Prayer to Color Field Transcendence, this is the one true avant-garde/
  evangelical/ ethnographic cinema of Devotion and Transformation. These
  seven 16mm films comprise a Religion of Celluloid - all we ask is that
  you believe... FEATURING: The Burning Hell by Estus Pirkle (15:00
  excerpt of 60:00, 16mm, 1974), Invocation of My Demon Brother by Kenneth

San Francisco, California: SFAI Film Salon
7:30pm, SFAI, Studio 8, 800 Chestnut Street

 TRANSFIGURED TIME
  The temporal and spatial are transposed in mysterious unfoldings and
  perceptual abstractions. In Maya Deren's Ritual in Transfigured Time a
  personal journey plays out as a dance of the cycles and transformations
  of time. Images fl icker, turn and reveal in the layering of Charlotte
  Pryce's Cold Polished Pictures-disturbed. Pip Chodorov's Faux Movements
  works a play of perception in creating surprising motion, and Hans
  Richter's Film Study frees images in new space. Interruptions of
  movement and gesture create new rhythm in Margaret White's Dance Film
  while the fragmentation in Charlotte Pryce's WHY resonates with the
  weight of memory. --- For more information contact:

  Rob Ray, Jon Satrom, & Jason Soliday in person! As I LOVE PRESETS,
  Chicago-based sound and new media artists Rob Ray, Jon Satrom, and Jason
  Soliday do everything wrong the right way. The trio manipulates found
  sounds and animated GIFs on home-brewed equipment in spectacular live
  audio/video performances, breaking down, complicating, and glorifying
  instrument settings, tool presets, and art-making interfaces normally
  accepted as fixed and stable. From Excel spreadsheets and video games to
  hacked Casios and discarded drum machines, any and everything electronic
  is fair game. Tonight, the trio will play several new pieces and demo
  their latest instruments and a video game titled I Love Resets (2008).

 CARBUNCLE
  TWO NIGHTS ONLY!!! Misfit Films announces the North American Premiere of
  CARBUNCLE, award-winning filmmaker T. Arthur Cottam's provocative first
  feature film. CARBUNCLE was made on a micro-budget over the course of
  five years and had its World Premiere at the Milan Film Festival.
  CARBUNCLE, a mobile home drama with a disabling sense of humor, concerns
  a director with Asperger's Syndrome making a movie about a mentally
  challenged woman who is manipulated by her alcoholic social worker. "I'm
  excited to have the North American premiere at the Echo Park Film
  Center." says Cottam, "They have the same independent spirit with which
  this film was made. The response to the film in Milan was overwhelmingly
  positive and I'm hoping American audiences will have a similar reaction.
  My goal is to both entertain and provoke." Cottam and CARBUNCLE cast
  members Jim Eshom, Shawn Lockie, John Falchi, Jamie Garza, Doug Goetz,
  Bo Lebo, Josh T. Ryan, Nicole Blume and Kent Hatch will be available for
  a Q&A session after the screening, which is also a benefit to raise
  money for HOME VIDEOS, Cottam's next film. In appreciation for their

 BALKAN RHAPSODIES BY JEFF SILVA AT MOMA - DOCUMENTARY FORTNIGHT
  Balkan Rhapsodies (2007) 55 minutes by Jeff Daniel Silva New York
  Premiere Balkan Rhapsodies is an experimental documentary poem made up
  of 78 visual and sound episodes that weave together a mosaic of
  encounters, observations and reflections from Jeff Silva's travels
  through war-torn Serbia and Kosovo. Jeff was the first American allowed
  into Serbia after the NATO bombings in June of 1999, and the filming he
  did while there makes up the heart of the project. Jeff returned back to
  the Balkans later again in 2000 and a final time in 2005 to complete the
  project. The seventy-eight part episodic structure of the film was
  inspired by the musical rhapsodies of the 19th century that featured a
  series of short, free-form, and emotionally infused compositions with
  high ranging and contrasted moods, colours and tonalities. This
  fragmented rhapsodic structure captures the essence of the video
  material that Jeff has gleaned over the years, from his documentary
  travels to his various cultural appropriations and re-enactments he uses
  in Balkan Rhapsodies. Using the 78 days of NATO bombings of Yugoslavia
  (March 24 – June 10, 1999) as a structural reference point to explore
  the post-trauma of innocent people caught in a web between the politics
  of then president Slobodan Milosovic, the Albanian separatist movement,
  and the United States led NATO coalition, Balkan Rhapsodies looks beyond
  the moment it captures and seems to become more relevant everyday. As
  old wounds fail to heal and new conflicts arise around the globe from
  the ashes and residue of past traumas, the shards of memories, evidence,
  and experiences in Balkan Rhapsodies creates a melodic echo that
  resonates with the absurdity of the situation and reflects a political
  and social imperative beyond the conflicts in Yugoslavia into of our
  present day crises. Jeff Daniel Silva http://www.jeffdanielsilva.com

 FILM LOVE #54 - TEAROOM: A DOCUMENT PRESENTED BY WILLIAM E. JONES
  selected work, 2008 Whitney Biennial | In Mansfield, Ohio, 1962, police
  hid behind a two-way mirror in a public restroom and filmed the men who
  had sex there - the so-called "tearoom trade." They used this film
  footage to arrest and prosecute some sixty men under the Ohio sodomy
  law. | In 2007, filmmaker William E. Jones came into possession of the
  film shot by the police. From this footage, he created the film Tearoom.
  | In Tearoom, instead of making a run-of-the-mill documentary, Jones
  lets the unedited footage speak for itself. The surprising imagery
  raises many issues even as it provides a shocking history lesson. A
  haunting and powerful work, Tearoom has been selected for the 2008
  Whitney Biennial. | Screening in Atlanta one night only! | Director
  William E. Jones will be on hand at Eyedrum to introduce the film,
  answer questions and debut the new book on Tearoom. | Co-sponsored by
  Outwrite Bookstore and The Office of LGBT Life, Emory University | The
  Film Love series provides access to rare but important films, and seeks
  to increase awareness of the rich history of experimental and
  avant-garde film. The series is curated and hosted by Andy Ditzler for
  Frequent Small Meals. Film Love was voted Best Film Series in Atlanta by
  the critics of Creative Loafing in 2006. Screening schedule and archives

  Life and Art: Stories from the Borderland. "In A Nutshell: A Portrait of
  Elizabeth Tashjian," Don Bernier (USA), 2005, 80 min., video. Program
  continues on February 29 with "Me and You and Everyone We Know" by
  Miranda July. "Absolute Wilson" by Katharina Otto-Bernstein was shown
  February 15. Katharina Otto-Bernstein's and Don Bernier's documentaries
  and Miranda July's fictional film explore the creative lives and
  delicate balance that is maintained between the art and life of three
  very different artists. Through their films we enter into the everyday
  reality of these individuals and learn how the unique circumstances of
  their worlds and day-to-day activities provide sources of inspiration
  and self-discovery for their art-in-life and life-in-art experiences. We
  witness their successes, failures, struggles and survival strategies to
  realize projects and communicate with others within situations in which
  their private worlds and the worlds of art and culture overlap.
  Elizabeth Tashjian's life and art co-exist within the self-created
  contexts of her museum and home. Although achieving international media
  attention, her local community fails to appreciate her lifelike art that
  she introduces to the public. She ultimately becomes a tragic figure
  when misunderstanding, gender prejudice and lack of financial resources
  upset the balance between her life and art. -- Patrick Clancy.

  Early Fall 1976, super 8, color, sound, 33 min Notes was mostly made in
  Binghamton in 1976 - a warped record constructed out of visits to the

 "WE DO NOT REMEMBER, WE REWRITE HISTORY" AN EVENING WITH BRETT KASHMERE
  Through intricate experimental documentaries and unadorned camera
  movies, the Canadian filmmaker Brett Kashmere explores the intersection
  of history and (counter-) memory, geographies of identity, and the
  politics of representation. His work, which has screened internationally
  at the London Film Festival, Made in Video: International Video Art
  Festival in Copenhagen, New York's Anthology Film Archives, the Kassel
  Documentary Festival in Germany, and The Images Festival in Toronto,
  combines traditional research methods with hybrid interfaces, handmade
  equipment, and materialist aesthetics. His most recently completed
  film-essay, Valery's Ankle, explores the spectacle of hockey violence in
  North American media. The film scholar Thomas Waugh writes that VALERY'S
  ANKLE "may well give momentum (and integrity) to the discourses of
  sports, masculinity, and nationalism in Canadian cinemas." Preceded by
  UNFINISHED PASSAGES, about which Kashmere writes: "Small monument to my
  great-grandfather, prairie homesteader and giver of consciousness.
  Internalized history lesson for the birth of a province - in honour of
  100 years since Saskatchewan's named independence - and light reflection
  on cinema's unreeling history, coterminously." Valery's Ankle (2006,33
  minutes, digital video, color) In September 1972 Canadian hockey pros
  faced the amateur Soviets for the first time ever. Canada's victory in
  this famous Cold War showdown, thanks to a last-minute winning goal, has
  become the most celebrated Canadian story of all time. But the games
  were also marked by extreme acts of violence that are only
  subconsciously remembered. Team Canada's performance throughout the
  series and Bobby Clarke's two-handed slash of rival Russian star Valery
  Kharlamov's ankle, in particular, signal a "glitch" in the production of
  Canadian nationalism, identity, and masculinity. This fracture disrupts
  Canadian self-identification as polite, peaceful and sportsmanlike and
  enacts a shadow identity as frustrated, aggressive and vengeful.
  Preceded by: unfinished passages (2005,17 minutes, digital video, b&w)

 SUPER-8 “B-MOVIE” HORROR: BEACH BEAST
  Beach Beast (directed by Bill Storz, USA, 1991, 115 min.), recalls the
  efforts of children in their imitation of the perceived adult world.
  Language in their mouths is always too big, it doesn't fit them anymore
  then their parents shoes, they use it like costume jewelry, creatively
  and not in search of truth. In Beach Beast language is as much an object
  as what is being filmed. Out of place with what is happening and
  insincere (as a ray of light or a laugh), it remains a part of the film
  (alongside any other) rather than a narrative over it or about it. The
  result is a kind of constellation of unfamiliar faces, places, phrases
  and scenarios that in it's silliness and tenderness manages to be less
  linear (in the sense that it captures the beauty of a moment, qualities
  of light, the strangeness of words) than many attempts at non-narrative
  film. – Jesse Kennedy, TIE

 PACKAGE DEALS AND SCANDINAVIA HOUSE PRESENT SIGUR ROS'S "HEIMA"
  Directed by Dean DeBlois, "Heima"—which translates as both "at home" and
  "homeland"—chronicles a series of free concerts Sigur Rós, Iceland's
  biggest musical export after Björk, played in their native Iceland in
  the summer of 2006. The film provides unique insights into one of the
  world's most fascinating and inscrutable bands captured live while
  exploring their natural habitat—the mysterious, otherworldly landscape
  of Iceland—like never before. They played in deserted fish factories,
  outsider art follies, far-flung community halls, sylvan fields, darkened
  caves, and the huge, horseshoe-shaped Ásbyrgi Canyon (formed, legend has
  it, by the hoofprint of Odin's six-legged horse Sleipnir). Material from
  all four of the band's albums is featured, including many rare and
  notable moments. Among these are a heart-stopping rendition of the
  previously unreleased Guitardjamm filmed inside a derelict herring oil
  tank in the far West Fjords; a windblown, one-mic recording of Vaka shot
  at a dam protest camp subsequently drowned by rising water; and
  first-time acoustic versions of such rare live beauties as "Staralfur,"
  "Agaetis Byrjun," and "Von." Loosely following a documentary format,
  "Heima" serves as an alternative primer for Iceland the country, which
  is revealed as less a stag party destination-du-jour than a desolate,
  magical place where humans have little right to trespass. The question
  of the way Sigur Rós's music relates to, and is influenced by, their
  environment has been reduced to a journalistic cliché about glacial
  majesty and fire and ice, but there is no doubt that the band is
  inextricably linked to the land in which they were forged. 91 min.
  Reception sponsored by Reyka Vodka. Arrive early to see Sigur Rós music
  videos on the big screen starting at 6:30 pm.

  and re-present all the forgotten home movies that end washed-up on the

  the set (in Barrie) of "The Littlest Hobo", to cottage life on the
  Toronto Islands in 1934, we offer strangely compelling portraits of
  everyday life from the 1930's to 70's! followed by . . . BRING YOUR HOME

  home movies to show (8mm, super 8). Dig through your parent's attic or
  grab that orphaned reel you found at the thrift shop. – AND – If you no
  longer have a working projector, come early to our HOME MOVIE REPAIR

  home movie collection again and give advice on preserving your films. 9
  PM BAGEROO – the art of simply super 8 Two decades ago, rumours
  circulated among filmmakers that super 8 film stock was to be
  discontinued by Kodak. Images – numerous and proliferating – of the
  demolition of Kodak's plants invade the evening news these days; and
  this phenomenon parallels Kodak's game plan as they shift from analogue
  to digital. So the future of super 8 film stock remains as shaky as it
  has been for the last two decades. But there are pockets in North
  America – such as Vancouver, Milwaukee, Saskatoon and Ottawa, just to
  name a few – where filmmakers continue to build an artistic practice
  working in super 8. "the 8 fest" will endeavor to provide Toronto with
  an exhibition platform dedicated solely to small-gauge celluloid.
  "BAGEROO - the art of simply super 8" brings to the big screen a
  selection of RECENT WORK and a few older pieces. JOHN PORTER (aka the
  "Godfather of Super 8" to many) delights with a new condensed ritual in
  a small bowling alley; TANYA READ premieres a new work hot from the lab;
  and archival gems from ADRIAN GöLLNER, CLIFFORD CAINES and others will
  be brought to you for your viewing pleasure!
