6/27
Berlin, Germany: 48-STUNDEN-NEUKÖLLN
http://www.48-stunden-neukoelln.de/
23:00–03:00 (11pm through 3am), Passage Kino, Karl-Marx-Straße 131, 12043 Berlin-Neukölln
URBAN SHORTS - LONG FILM NIGHT
The major theme of 48-STUNDEN-NEUKÖLLN, the annual art festival in the
Berlin borough of Neukölln, is the relations of city–nature–man.
Consequently, the term urbanity became an essential aspect of this
year's programming for the Long Film Night. The selection was drawn from
direct submissions and in collaboration with interfilm and the Urban
Research Program. The Long Film Night presents a three hours program of
short narrative, experimental and documentary films. °*--*° Interfilm as
a film distribution offers ca. 300 films for rentals. Theme oriented
short film programs and programme pictures are the main focus of the
program. In addition, the nerve centre at Tempelhofer Damm organizes the
annual short film festival interfilm. °*--*° Urban Research brings
together films of artists who work with experimental and documentary
means on issues of urbanity and public space. Since 2005, Klaus W.
Eisenlohr is dedicated to this program and selection as part of the
contemporary art and media platform Directors Lounge. °*--*°°*--*°

New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
5:00pm, 32 second Avenue
ESSENTIAL CINEMA- RON RICE PROGRAM
SENSELESS 1962, 28 minutes, 16mm "Consisting of a poetic stream of
razor-sharp images, the overt content of SENSELESS portrays ecstatic
travelers going to pot over the fantasies and pleasures of a trip to
Mexico...highly effective cutting subtly interweaves the contrapuntal
development of themes of love and hate, peace and violence, beauty and
destruction." –David Brooks THE FLOWER THIEF 1960, 59 minutes, 16mm.
Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from the National Film
Preservation Foundation. Starring Taylor Mead. "In the old Hollywood
movie days movie studios would keep a man on the set who, when all other
sources of ideas failed (writers, directors), was called upon to 'cook
up' something for filming. He was called The Wild Man. THE FLOWER THIEF
has been put together in memory of all dead wild men who died unnoticed
in the field of stunt." –R.R. Total running time: ca. 90 minutes.

New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives

6:00pm, 32 second Avenue
ESSENTIAL CINEMA- SUNRISE: FW MURNAU
SUNRISE by F.W. Murnau 1927, 95 minutes, 35mm. Murnau's first American
film is an allegory set in no particular time or place, about a man who
is temporarily overruled by his passions, inflamed by the power of evil
as personified by the city woman, and who finally returns to his senses
and the orderly family life of the country. It is a virtuoso exercise
representing the expressiveness of the silent film as it neared its end.

SPECIAL HENRY HILLS DVD RELEASE EVENT
SPECIAL HENRY HILLS DVD RELEASE EVENT Filmmaker in person! Reception to
follow. Moving to New York in 1978, filmmaker Henry Hills formed a
strong alliance with the Downtown music improvisers and the "Language"
poets, guiding his film work toward a rhythmic, multilayered world
filled with unpredictable changes and a striking improvisational edge.
At long last, his uncompromising shorts are being released on DVD,
courtesy of John Zorn's equally radical TZADIK label. This show includes
the very best of Hills's wonderfully intense films – from the downtown
all-star-filled MONEY to structural dance films like LITTLE LIEUTENANT
and BALI MÉCANIQUE. A major force in new cinema, these films are
brilliantly visual, crammed with image and double meaning. PORTER
SPRINGS 3 (1977, 7 minutes, 16mm, color, silent) KINO DA! (1980, 2
minutes, 16mm, b&w, sound) MONEY (1984, 14 minutes, 16mm, color, sound)

video, b&w, sound) GOA LAWAH (1992, 5 minutes, 16mm, color, sound) BALI
MÉCANIQUE (1992, 11 minutes, 16mm, color, sound) LITTLE LIEUTENANT
(1994, 6 minutes, 16mm, color, sound) PORTER SPRINGS 4 (1999, 15
minutes, 16mm, color, sound) ELECTRICITY (2007, 7 minutes, video, color,
sound) FAILED STATES (2008, 10 minutes, video, color, sound) Total

year old Mason Shefa's experimental look at the neon landscape of
Hollywood at night in Memories of an Undefined Image, (2007) to Donlee
Brussell's award-winning, Intoxicated Demons, (2005) a darkly comedic
"love letter to counter culture LA." Other films include Valentina
Martin's, Iris:Los Angeles, (2005) an experimental "poem" described as
an "open letter of praise" to the city; and visiting program curator
Charles Doran presents the S.F. premiere of Westsider, (2007) a black
comedy portraying the downfall of an arrogant, Frank Gehry-obsessed
architect. Other films include: Dance, Eli, Dance – teenage director Ava

Will O'Loughlen – a short film-poem about a day in Venice California,
shot in a single afternoon in March, 2007. Moose…Indian (2006) – dir.
Nicholas Kokich – on a desperate quest, a lonely man travels a fantastic
voyage by bike through the city of Los Angeles. Mr. Freeway (2008) –
dir. Kenneth Hughes – an ambitious short following a man running on the
freeway in a search for his "other" while an original version of Carmina
Burana plays in the background. Palm Tree Song Line (2008) –
Berlin-based artist Dagie Brundert showcases her fascination with one of
L.A.'s most notable features. Roger (2007) – former ATA volunteer
Jennifer Stefanisko directs a narrative short about a Silverlake
musician trying to write a song amidst daydreams, freak outs, visions
and visitors. Rollingman (2000) – dir. Mike Sakamoto – an isolated man
comes up with a singularly bizarre idea to make his existence palatable.
Some Los Angeles Apartments and a Dorm – dir. Laura Daroca – Past and
present collide; time and space collapse; and fact and fiction intersect
with images of Los Angeles residential buildings once inhabited by a
young woman. More information on the films and filmmakers can be found
