ELECTRIC DREAMS / VOLCANIC VISIONS: THE CINEMA OF JANICE FINDLEY
APRIL 12, Saturday at 8pm DIRECTOR IN ATTENDANCE THIRD EYE CINEMA
PRESENTS ELECTRIC DREAMS / VOLCANIC VISIONS: THE CINEMA OF JANICE
FINDLEY Janice Findley's fiercely original films explore enchanted,
uncharted territory with a unique sensibility. Utilizing meticulous
stop-motion and live-action techniques, brilliant set and costume design
and beguiling musical scores by musician/composer Paul Hansen, Findley
creates a subterranean world of emotions that evoke waking dreams. By
turns menacing, inviting and funny, these adventures of the mind dare
the viewer to enter into the realm of dreams... or is it nightmares?
Findley's films have been showcased in a retrospective at MoMA in New
York, where her work is part of the permanent collection, as well as in
the hinterlands of the U.S. by a widely traveled bicycling
projectionist. This evening's program includes "Tripletime", "A Nermish
Gothic", "Beyond Kabuki", "I Am The Night" and "Faux Paw" plus Maya
Deren's "Meshes Of The Afternoon." "Equal parts illusionistic film
techniques and the filmmaker's refreshingly untethered imagination.
Imagine 'Alice in Wonderland' done by a collaboration of ...F.W. Murnau
...Maya Deren ...and Jan Svankmajer." -THE OREGONIAN

LIVE IMAGES 4: EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR PICTURE I CRY BY DANIEL BARROW
Daniel Barrow's newest "manual animation" combines overhead projection
with video, music, and live narration to tell the story of a garbage man
with a vision to create an independent phone book chronicling the lives
of each person in his city. In the late hours of the night, he sifts
through garbage, collecting personal information and then traces
pictures of each citizen through the windows of their homes as they
sleep. What he doesn't yet realize is that a deranged killer is trailing
him, murdering each citizen he includes in his book, thus rendering his
cataloguing efforts obsolete. Presented in partnership with Harbourfront
Centre's World Stage. NOTE: Tickets for Daniel Barrow's performance
Everytime I See Your Picture I Cry are now available from Harbourfront
Centre's Box Office: www.harbourfrontcentre.com or 416.973.4000. Daniel
Barrow is a Winnipeg-based media artist, working in performance, video
and installation. He has exhibited widely in Canada and abroad.
Recently, Barrow has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Los
Angeles), New Langton Arts (San Francisco), and the Contemporary Art
Gallery (Vancouver). Since 1993, Barrow has used an overhead projector
to relay ideas and short narratives. Specifically, he creates and adapts
comic book narratives to a "manual" form of animation by projecting,
layering and manipulating drawings on mylar transparencies. Barrow
variously refers to this practice as "graphic performance, live
illustration, or manual animation."

7:30 PM, Harbourfront Centre, 235 Queen's Quay
LIVE IMAGES 6: THEDA BY GEORGINA STARR
Georgina Starr's silent work Theda grew out of Starr's interest in the
silent cinema era actress Theda Bara. Surpassed in popularity by only
Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford, Bara made more than 40 films between
1914 and 1926, of which only a handful remain intact. Bara was often
cast in the role of the femme fatale, earning her the distinction of one
of cinema's earliest sex symbols. Drawing on the life and work of Bara,
as well as other forgotten silent film stars, Theda combines
reconstructions of scenes from the lost films with a narrative about a
crazed fan. In taking on the role of Bara, Starr experiments with
various performance styles and narrative techniques to consider the
cinema as a reflection of one's own life. In the spirit of the era from
which the work comes, Starr collaborates with live musicians to provide
a score for the film each time it is presented. Having presented the
work with two very different ensembles in London and New York, the
Canadian premiere of Theda will engage the long-standing improvisational
ensemble CCMC. Curated by Aki Onda. NOTE: Tickets for Georgina Starr's
performance Theda are now available from Harbourfront Centre's Box
Office three ways: ONLINE through www.imagesfestival.com or BY PHONE:
416.973.4000 Born in Leeds, UK, Georgina Starr studied at the
Rijksademie in Amsterdam, and now lives and works in London. Her art
practice, largely rooted in video, but incorporating objects, prints,
drawings and photographs, often builds its narratives from various
references and biographies in popular culture. Her work has been
exhibited internationally at Tracy Williams, Ltd. (New York), Tate
Gallery (London), nca | nichido contemporary art (Tokyo), the 49th
Venice Biennale, and Annet Gelink Gallery (Amsterdam) among many others.
With a history extending back to the 1970s, CCMC is Canada's first and
still pre-eminent non-idiomatic free-improvisation ensemble. A
world-travelled group through various incarnations, the band settled
fourteen years ago into the form of a trio consisting of original CCMC
member Michael Snow (piano and synthesizer), along with John Oswald
(alto sax) and Paul Dutton (soundsinging and harmonica). A fixture on
Toronto's alternative music scene, the trio has issued two CDs and has
toured Canada, Europe and the U.S.A. Each of the members has achieved
renown in areas other than music, Snow and Oswald in the visual arts,
Dutton in literature.

and educators who believe that media art matters ... A LOT!!! Artist Run
Machines, Open Source Culture is a public think tank hosted by moderator
Clive Robertson with panelists Vera Frenkel, Richard Fung, Steve Loft,
and Caroline Seck Langill. Together with the audience, this seasoned
group of artists, academics, critics, curators and activists will bring
their uniques experiences in the media arts to bear on questions of the
sectors viability and validitation within greater social, political and
economic spheres. The audience will be challenged to interpret and
evaluate the hybrid forms of organization and action that exist in the
territory between the institution and individual practitioners. For more

and an excuse to have some fun and be surprised. Come out and see the

8:00 PM, Joseph Workman Theatre, 1001 Queen Street West at Ossington
CLOSING NIGHT GALA: TRADING THE FUTURE BY B.H. YAEL
Given that we've known about environmental degradation for so long, why
have we not done more? Trading the Future is a video essay that
questions the inevitability of apocalypse and its repercussions on
environmental urgencies. Starting with a personal memory, the fear of
the rapture, the video addresses the Christian narrative for the end of
times, and draws connections to secular apocalypticism and our eager
acceptance of a cataclysmic end. Trading the Future challenges the
philosophical and practical foundations of death, the growth of the
market place and the politics of apocalypse. At the same time, the video
proposes possible alternatives around the idea of natality, the
productivity of biodiversity and the agency of everyday activism.
Decidedly non-messianic, Trading the Future refuses to reproduce the
apocalyptic images that we have been inundated with in mass media and
movies. Thirteen chapters create a complex weave of ideas, combining
impressionistic montages, street interviews and dialogues with academics
and activists: Grace Jantzen, Valerie Langer, David Noble, Lee Quinby,
and Vandana Shiva. b.h. Yael is an independent video and installation
artist whose work has exhibited nationally and internationally and has
shown in various settings, from festivals to galleries to various
educational venues. These include Fresh Blood, A Consideration of
Belonging, the Approximations series produced with Johanna Householder,
and the recent Palestine Trilogy, three videos that focus on activist
initiatives in Israel/Palestine. Yael has produced work as part of
various artist projects and collectives: Spontaneous Combustion,

POP LANDSCAPES: MICHAEL ROBINSON IN PERSON
Mining the depths of popular culture has become the zeitgeist within
media arts these days, the de facto creative means for an army of young
talent. From the late-70s work of Dara Birnbaum to the contemporary
circuit-bending of Cory Archangel and the video collective Paper Rad,
our culture is repeatedly vivisected and reinterpreted. Pop will eat
itself, to be sure, but postmodernism is surely a ruminant beast,
continually regurgitating and digesting itself. After over 30 years of
analysis, one would expect very little left to be said about these
modern times, and then along comes an artist like Michael Robinson. The
film and video work of Michael Robinson consists of equal parts
landscape cinematography and pop culture mashup, and it is through the
interaction between these two seemingly disparate modes of filmmaking
that his work becomes transcendent. Milking out every drop of saccharine
bliss from pop songs, Michael sweetens the normally doom-ridden theme of
humanity's failure to achieve heaven on Earth in Victory Over the Sun
(2007). And We All Shine On (2006) is interested in the harmonies and
discordances brought out by positioning and repositioning the natural
world around the virtual, while you don't bring me flowers (2005)
investigates our fascination with pictorial tourism through a slideshow
of National Geographic two-page landscape spreads. 2007's Light is
Waiting uses a heavily manipulated, very special episode of Full House
as fodder to launch in to an examination of our media's colonialist
tendencies toward the exotic Other. DM. Other films to be screened
include The General Returns From One Place to Another (2006), Tidal
(2002), Chiquita and the Soft Escape (2003), and his most recent video,
All Through the Night (2008) To find out more about Robinson go to

WE MELT AWAY (A WALKING PICTURE PALACE OF ICE)
Thirty years ago as part of a series of film projection pieces called
Trespass I projected uninvited images through windows of selected houses
and onto rooftops covered with freshly fallen snow. In the case of the
interiors the images ran away before they could be apprehended, the
duration of the piece lasting until someone walked into the room. The
snow images endured for longer periods of time on sparkling feathery
screens. Uneven accumulation creating illusions of depth and variable
focus. My first cinematic vision was a hallucination that came after
three days on a houseboat on the Hudson without food reading Brothers
Karamazov when I was barely in my teens. A vision like a Jan Toorop
symbolist painting of virgin deities encased in ice, a young boy skating
on the frozen surface inches from their linked naked bodies. All of this
revealed with a soaring crane shot. This program takes us into the
glacial territory of The Snow Queen where love is mocked and infinity
triumphs over eternity while Cyndi Lauper gives us useless hope. A child
of snow shivers and smiles as time moves in reverse and snow ascends
skyward. Houses collapse haunted and infirm echoing Poe and Gorey. A
hypnotized subject half-woman half-cat suspends in memory spirals, one
claw stuck in the scratching post of repressed sexuality. Seances and
hymns telepathic communications between the species. Richard Pryor does
stand up from beyond the grave. Transparent images lie down and give up
the ghost. We see through a glass darkly. Finally we shed our body and
move across the surface of the known world, revisiting the scenes of a
life brought to an early stillness splashing down in oceanic oblivion...

TONGUES UNTIED
Tongues Untied (1990, 55 min.) by MARLON RIGGS. A central work of Queer
Cinema as experimental/personal/documentary: "Tongues Untied was
motivated by a singular imperative: to shatter America's brutalizing
silence around matters of sexual and racial difference. Yet despite a
concerted smear and censorship campaign, perhaps even because of it,
this work achieved its aim. The 55-minute video documents a nationwide
community of voices--some quietly poetic, some undeniably raw and
angry--which together challenge society's most deeply entrenched myths
about what it means to be black, gay, a man, and above all, human." –
Marlon Riggs. Tongues Untied has achieved international acclaim: from
the Berlin, London and New York Documentary Film Festivals, the National
Black Programming Consortium and the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame, as
well as the Whitney Museum; it won the AFI Maya Deren Award for
Independent Film & Video. In addition to producing other films, Riggs
taught at UC Berkeley. He died of AIDS in 1994.

THE SHORT FILMS OF APICHATPONG WEERASTHAKUL
APRIL 15 - 23 THE SHORT FILMS OF APICHATPONG WEERASTHAKUL "World
cinema's premier maker of mysterious objects, Apichatpong Weerasethakul
is on a one-man mission to change the way we watch movies. Rich and
strange, postmodern and prehistoric, his films foster an experience of
serene bewilderment and –for the willing viewer – euphoric surrender.
They are suffused with a sense of wide-open possibility that sometimes
explodes into epiphany."–Dennis Lim, THE VILLAGE VOICE Apichatpong
Weerasethakul (SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY, TROPICAL MALADY) is a key figure
in modern Thai film and a highly original moving-image artist. He
studied architecture at Khon Kaen University before completing a Master
of Fine Arts in filmmaking at the School of the Art Institute of
Chicago. Influenced by American experimental film, Weerasethakul is one
of a small group of independent filmmakers working outside the Thai
studio system. His video installations, shorts and feature films explore
the genres of documentary and fiction in uniquely Thai contexts. Thai
television, radio and comics provide story elements that may be enacted
or embroidered by the characters that drive Weerasethakul's films. These
two programs comprise rarely seen short works made by the acclaimed
director over the past 14 years. Special thanks to Apichatpong
Weerasethakul, Jed Rapfogel (Anthology Film Archives), Lee
Chatametikool, Mark McElhatten and Isabelle Park (Jeonju International
Film Festival). Full schedule of films with descriptions at

MICHAEL ROBINSON IN PERSON AT MASS ART FILM SOCIETY
YOU DON'T BRING ME FLOWERS 8:00, 16mm, 2005 Viewed at its seams, a
collection of National Geographic landscapes from the 1960s and 70's
conjures an obsolete romanticism currently peddled to propagate
entitlement and individualism from sea to shining sea; the slideshow
deforms into a bright white distress signal. THE GENERAL RETURNS FROM
ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER 11:00, dv, 2007 Learning to love again, with fear
at its side, the film draws balance between the romantic and the horrid,
shaping a concurrently skeptical and indulgent experience of the
beautiful. A Frank O'Hara monologue (from a play of the same title)
attempts to undercut the sincerity of the landscape, but there are
stronger forces surfacing. TIDAL 6:30, 16mm, 2001 A love story told
through the newly haunted home my parents shared for twenty-eight years.
Second in a series of three films made during the year of my father's
death. and we all shine on (7:00, 16mm, 2006) An ill wind is
transmitting through the lonely night, spreading myth and deception
along its murky path. Conjuring a vision of a post-apocalyptic paradise,
this unworldly broadcast reveals its hidden demons via layered
landscapes and karaoke, singing the dangers of the mediated spirit.
LIGHT IS WAITING 11:00, dv, 2007 A very special episode of television's
Full House devours itself from the inside out, excavating a hypnotic
nightmare of a culture lost at sea. Tropes of video art and family
entertainment face off in a luminous orgy neither can survive.
CHIQUITITIA AND THE SOFT ESCAPE 10:00, 16mm, 2003 What began as an
effort at proving nostalgia to be a purely mechanical process became an
argument for the opposite through its assembly. Twin attempts at
structuring images of home and loved-ones collapse in the face of the
romantic. ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT 4:00, dv, 2008 A charred visitation with
an icy language of control; there is no room for love. VICTORY OVER THE
SUN 12:30, 16mm, 2007 Dormant sites of past World's Fairs breed an
eruptive struggle between spirit and matter, ego and industry, futurism
and failure. For thine is the kingdom and the power and glory; nothing
lasts forever, even cold November rain.

Chinese Typewriter is a filmic essay in which multiple levels of
articulation emerge by way of image relation and disassociation, the fi

education and politics, towards the assertion of an interior language.
Curt Thomas's Accidental and Purposeful Actions is a contemplative study

by films that are significant to them as image-makers. Premieres meet
archetypes from the avant-garde in this unique evening that pairs new
films with their influential companion pieces. Adam Garnet Jones's
Secret Weapons is an intensely personal animated film essay whose formal
qualities speak to Mike Hoolboom's seminal, award-winning Frank's Cock
(1993). Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof fashions a visual duet comprised of a
16mm film, The Garden of Earthy Delights, and a self-portrait photogram
motivated by the incomparable virtuosity of Stan Brakhage's Christ Mass
Sex Dance (1991). Jerry Thevent's Shelley renders homage to Shelley
Niro's work in its meditation on binding relationships between nature,
Western ideals, and native life in Canada. Louise Bourque's use of home
movies in Fissures (1999) triggers a promise from mother to son in Lise
Beaudry's La Vie en pellicule. With a playful, destructive spirit, Chris
Gehman's Rostrum Press: Materials Testing "responds to an isolated
aspect of two films by Michael Snow: Breakfast (Table Top Dolly)
(1972-76) and Presents(1980-81), with an additional/incidental nod to
Snow's Wavelength (1967)" (Chris Gehman). Afghanimation by Allyson
Mitchell celebrates Joyce Wieland's brawn and brash, and her enduring
legacy. Crushed by Susan Justin is a miniature study of grief and
tribute to Midi Onodera's The Basement Girl (2000). –Andréa Picard.

YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE TIME YOU DO: MOMENTS IN THE LIVES OF PRISONERS
With filmmaker Laurie Jo Reynolds in person! Prison has long been a
popular setting for motion pictures, from the oft-remade Man in the Iron
Mask to recent Oscar-nominated hits Dead Man Walking and The Shawshank
Redemption. Rarer is the film that examines the prison system's
complicated impact on individuals, families, and communities. Artists
Laurie Jo Reynolds and Robert Todd take on this challenge in a pair of
lyrical essays on the experiences of incarcerated men and women. Weaving
together pop cultural imagery and prison phone conversations, Reynolds'
collage-like Space Ghost (2007) explores confinement and isolation in
the lives of astronauts and the imprisoned. Todd's In Loving Memory
(2005) juxtaposes the reflections of prisoners on their lives with
haunting landscape shots of prisons around the country, in a moving
meditation on memory and a compelling critique of the death penalty.
Presented as part of a series of events organized by the Tamms Poetry
Committee marking the ten-year anniversary of the Tamms supermax prison
