ROBERT FRANK RETROSPECTIVE: PROGRAM 5
C'est Vrai, 1990, 60 min., video The Present, 1996, 24 min., 35mm Total
running time: 84 min. C'est Vrai is a one-hour trip through New York
City's Lower East Side, produced on video for French television without
editing the narrative. It presents a startling juxtaposition of scripted
fiction, which appears to be drawn from real life and improvised
documentation that overlays the story when Peter Orlovsky arrives to
confront the filmmaker. Simple objects, photographs, and events prompt
Frank to self-conscious rumination in The Present. From his homes in New
York and Nova Scotia and on visits to friends, the artist contemplates
his relationships, the anniversary of his daughter's death, his son's
mental illness, and his work. $5 general; free for SFMOMA members or
with museum admission. Double features: films offered on the same date
are included in one ticket. Also screened on Thursday, June 11th

Christopher Street West, the Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles
Filmforum, the One National Gay & Lesbian Archives, Outfest and the UCLA

Small Gauge Films with Pat Rocco in person! From the late 1960s through
the 1970s, activist and filmmaker Pat Rocco mastered the art of gay male
erotic films. His work developed beyond the nudie cutie into thoughtful
and at times dramatic glimpses into gay life of that era, and
documentaries with some of the only existing footage of the beginnings
of the gay rights movement in the United States. A unique salute to this
LGBT legend with screenings of Rocco classics on Super 8 and 16mm film,
including the original Super 8 Harvey Milk 'Hope' Speech and Parade
Footage (3 min, Super 8 1978) and Silent No More (30 min, Super 8, 1977.

Dordrecht: Directors Lounge
http://www.richfilm.de/currentUpload/
21:00, PICTURA
SCREENING AND EXHIBITION
Directors Lounge Berlin at Pictura in Dordrecht *-* PICTURA, one of the
oldest artist organizations in Holland has her own Directors Lounge,
which in fact, was inspired by Directors Lounge Berlin. A visit of the
director of PICTURA, Jeanne van der Horst at Directors Lounge 2009 in
Berlin gave the inspiration for a visit and presentation in Dordrecht.
*-* On this occasion, and in the tradition of Directors Lounge both in
Berlin and Dordrecht, the curator Klaus W. Eisenlohr put together a
program with an emphasis in his field of attention, Urban Research. The
selection was drawn from the main program of Directors Lounge, from his
own program Urban Research, and from the program of Rattapallax, New
York. Directors Lounge, which had its fifth anniversary this year, has
actually become quite influenced by the theme of Urban Research, which
is part of the program for now 3 years. On the other hand, Directors
Lounge's mission, to be an open platform and to bring together media
arts, video installation and experimental film, genres, which have been
well established in arts but separated for decades will be well
presented through this exhibition and screening at PICTURA. (Klaus W.
Eisenlohr) *-* *-* Exhibition: 6-14 June 2009 *-* Screening: Friday 12

Candy Mountain Codirected with Rudy Wurlitzer 1988, 91 min., 35mm
Cocreated with writer Rudy Wurlitzer, Candy Mountain was Frank's most
widely distributed and expensive productions, and the cast includes
several renowned musicians. The tale follows Julius Book, a would-be
musician who embarks on a journey from New York to Nova Scotia in search
of the musician's Holy Grail: the elusive guitar maker, Elmore Silk.
Along the way, Book learns hard life lessons as he faces optimism and
hope, as well as failure and disillusionment. $5 general; free for

At 7pm in the McDonough Museum Auditorium, a performance piece by Leslie

the McDonough Museum of Art on the campus of Youngstown State University
will open the exhibition Rust Fest, featuring the work of graduate
students enrolled in MFA programs in digital arts and new media from
eight universities across the United States. Each institution was asked
to submit seven examples of notable work from students currently
enrolled in their graduate programs. Rust Fest will feature a
presentation of screen based work in all forms - from animation to
computer games and novel visualization environments - to works in 2nd
life. This exhibition will provide an unparalleled opportunity for
visitors to the Museum to encounter compelling new media and digital art
works from several progressive MFA programs. The schools participating
in this exhibition include, Rhode Island School of Design, Transart
Institute, Alfred University, New York University, the University of

Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Minnesota. The opening
of the festival on Saturday, June 13 will include an exciting
performance piece by Leslie Raymond and Jason Jay Stevens. Potter-Belmar
Labs presents a live mix of music and video projection. Both artists
perform from laptop computers augmented by external digital devices used
to manipulate their palette of images and sounds. The duo carries the
audience through an improvised collage experience in sound and image.
They build as they go, weaving field recordings with threads sampled
from pop culture and their own rich sound and image compositions. The
performance begins at 7:00pm and will take place in the McDonough
auditorium.
