1/9
New York, New York: Maysles Cinema
http://www.mayslesinstitute.org/cinema.html
7:30, 343 Lenox Avenue @ 127th Street
THE EXPERIMENT: THE POLITICS OF THE IMAGE
Please join us once again at Maysles Cinema for the first of our
quarterly screenings! Energized by the success of our New York(er)
Shorts exhibitions, we have worked with the folks at Maysles Cinema to
develop a four part series which explores the relationship between the
documentary and the experimental film. Each screening will focus on a
traditional genre of documentary cinema and exhibit examples of
experimental films which relate to those genres. This first evening will
feature some of our favorite shorts which we find to have political
significance or messaging. We look forward to seeing familiar faces at
the premiere event of our new screening series! This screening embraces
the totality of interrelationships in particular locales of privacy and
publicity involving power, authority, or influence, and capable of
manipulation. The works presented contemplate false securities and
fragile liberties through confrontation with popular, habitual, and
cultural trends, often detrimental and of national concern. The
suspension of resolution within the surveillance of aftermaths resolves,
through non-traditional documentation and assemblage, contrasting states
of mind, tranquility and unease, lived by both the inhabitants and the
viewers. Restless yet lyrical, the processions of mood, rhythm, and
performance envelop each realm of existence, appropriated and affected,
as the artists orchestrate alternative, revitalizing determinations of
propaganda, of misinformation established by the spectacles of
authoritarian conviction. Contrasting impacts of intimacy and infection
evoke ulterior reactions to the facades of complacency exposed as these
social criticisms ultimately broadcast displaced forewarning, vestiges,
and actualities of historical abuse, imminent threat, and the attempt to
apprehend criminal activities. Films: Deborah Stratman, In Order Not To

6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ZVENIGORA
ZVENIGORA by Alexandr Dovzhenko 1928, 96 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent. No
English intertitles; English synopsis available. Dovzhenko's second
film, attacked by Soviet critics for being so beautifully rendered as to
actually lessen its political impact, remains today a "cinematic poem"
as the director named it. Dovzhenko wrote: "I did not so much make the
picture as sing it out like a songbird." Episodic, folkloric, and
allegorical, it is a mythic search for hidden treasure by two brothers.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ARSENAL
by Alexandr Dovzhenko 1928-29, 87 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent. No English
intertitles; English synopsis available. One of Dovzhenko's few
completely independent films, from script to screen. ARSENAL is a civil
war epic envisioned in unusual, painterly images: a fallen soldier –
drunk on the enemy's laughing gas – his frozen body still baring its
teeth long after the battle and his life are over.

Phoenix, Arizona: No Festival Required
http://nofestivalrequired.wordpress.com/
8 PM, Deus Ex Machina, 1023 NW Grand Avenue Phoenix AZ 85007
LUMINOUS TRIPTYCH: ANGELINA KRAHN, KAREN JOHANNESEN, RICK BAHTO
Working from different aesthetic and conceptual backgrounds, the films
of these three artists share an ethos of handmade, personal cinema.
Angelina Krahn utilizes a wide palette of alternative techniques in her
films, perhaps most poignantly in Stigmata Sampler, in which she sewed
into the surface of the film to cover up and obscure images of her own
body. Karen Johannesen's masterful editing and single-framing techniques
serve to embody studies into quantum mechanics, bringing to vision in
delicate landscapes a world "teeming with billions of unrealized
possibilities". Rick Bahto's in-camera edited works use the people and
places of his everyday life as the basis of studies in movement, rhythm
and duration, creating a tension between pre-determined structures and a
freedom of improvisation. Presented by No Festival Required, this is the
first time any of these films have been seen in Phoenix. The screening
will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker and curator Rick Bahto. $6
general / $5 students + NFR Support Card Members. LIMITED SEATING, doors
open at 7:45

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: EARTH
by Alexandr Dovzhenko 1929-30, 82 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent. No English
intertitles; English synopsis available. A poetic expression of love for
both nature and Ukrainian culture by the man who was alternatively
branded a deserter by Ukrainians and a Ukrainian nationalist by Russian
Soviets. Dovzhenko champions the progression of life, class struggle,
and new attitudes for a town changed by a tractor and a fallen hero.

PAUL SHARITS PROGRAM
Filmmaker/artist Paul Sharits (1943-1993) has recently been celebrated
in the art gallery and museum worlds for his pioneering film
installations and equally complex, incredibly beautiful drawings.
Anthology's restoration of his 4-projector 'locational' film work
SHUTTER INTERFACE was seen at the Greene Naftali Gallery in early 2009
alongside a generous selection of works on paper, and will be on exhibit
at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., this spring. Tonight's
special screening marks the occasion of Sharits's inclusion in the
exhibition LOOKING BACK: THE WHITE COLUMNS ANNUAL, curated by Miriam
Katzeff and James Hoff of 'Primary Information', a publishing project
whose recent releases include Dan Graham's ROCK/MUSIC WRITINGS. The
LOOKING BACK exhibit hopes to reveal some of the complexities involved
in trying to negotiate – and engage with – New York's constantly
evolving cultural landscape. LOOKING BACK: THE WHITE COLUMNS ANNUAL is
on view from November 18, 2009 to January 9, 2010. For more info on
'Primary Information' please visit: www.primaryinformation.org SHUTTER
INTERFACE (1975, 32 minutes, double-16mm, color, sound) This 2-projector
version of a 4-projector 'locational' film installation reorganizes the
four reels into an equally engaging work meant for theatrical screening.
APPARENT MOTION (1975, 30 minutes, 16mm, color, silent) One of Sharits's
most sublime pieces, APPARENT MOTION focuses on film grain particles,
color, and the illusion of motion. RAPTURE (1987, 20 minutes, video) "A
pseudo 'rock video' which will never be shown on MTV…. 'Rapture' is
defined as a state of being ecstatically carried away. There is a thin
line which I attempt to portray in these tableaux, the border line
between the sublime and the repulsive. I wish to have the viewer respond
to the tape in an intense but very ambiguous way." –Paul Sharits Total
running time: ca. 85 minutes.

JAMES BENNING: RUHR
North American premiere 2009, 121 min., HD James Benning, one of the
most fascinating figures in American independent cinema, makes his
eagerly awaited entrance into the digital realm with absolutely stunning
effect. Ruhr—which is also the first film Benning has shot entirely
outside the United States—is a meditation on the notion of terra
incognita. Faced with the unfamiliar landscape of Germany's Ruhr Valley,
the cradle of heavy industry in that country, and a new medium, he turns
the film into a process of slow discovery. As Benning uses HD to
continue his exploration of duration in seven masterfully composed
shots, minute events and nuances of changing light suggest a complex
balance between permanence and mutation in the Ruhr's industrial
landscapes, marked, not least, with the ubiquitous presence of immigrant
labor. In person: James Benning

CAREY SCHONEGEVEL PROGRAM
ORIGINAL CHILD BOMB USA, 2004, 57 minutes, video. The temperature at the
epicenter of an atomic blast is as hot as the surface of the sun –
everything in the immediate vicinity is instantly vaporized. So too, it
seems, are the psyches of those further from the epicenter, including
U.S. Airman Matthew McGunigle who photographed the bombing of Hiroshima
– after the war, he entered a monastery and took a vow of silence.
Inspired by the Thomas Merton poem of the same name, this is a beautiful
and chilling documentary that uses declassified government films,
photos, drawings, and animation (by Emily Hubley) to replay the 1945
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the victims' and the bombers'
perspectives. Co-producer Ayana Osada will be here in person for a
post-screening discussion. Preceded by: HIROSHIMA, NAGASAKI, AUGUST 1945
USA, 1970, 16 minutes, video. Produced by Erik Barnouw & Columbia
University. Based on long-suppressed footage shot by a Japanese
documentary unit who were at work in the ruins of both Hiroshima and
Nagasaki before the U.S. occupation forces arrived, this film stands as
a graphic reminder of the horrors of nuclear war

Brooklyn, New York: Light Industry

7:30pm, 220 36th Street, 5th Floo
RIDDLES OF THE SPHINX
Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen, 16mm, 1977, 90 mins. Introduced by Emma
Hedditch. Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen's film addresses the position of
women in patriarchy through the prism of psychoanalysis. Riddles of the
Sphinx draws on the critical writings and investigations by both
filmmakers into the codes of narrative cinema, and offers an alternative
formal structure through which to consider the images and meanings of
female representation in film. The film is constructed in three sections
and 13 chapters, combining Mulvey's own to-camera readings around the
myth of Oedipus's encounter with the Sphinx with a series of very slow
360 degree panning shots encompassing different environments, from the
domestic to the professional. Louise, the narrative's female
protagonist, is represented through a fragmented use of imagery and
dialogue, in an attempt to break down the conventional narrative
structures of framing and filming used to objectify and fetishise women
in mainstream cinema. This could be seen as a formal development of the
Lacanian analyses that Mulvey had applied to the female image in film in
essays such as 1975's 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema' (in
Screen). Riddles of the Sphinx attempts to construct a new relationship
between the viewer and the female subject, presenting her through
multiple female voices and viewpoints. The dialogue, constructed from
the different voices of Louise, her friends and fellow workers, brings a
shifting and ambiguous range of meanings to the film, in contrast to the
explanatory authority associated with a conventional voice-over. Other
voices and images from outside the film's narrative world also question
and disrupt pre-supposed meanings and symbols of the woman within and
without the screen; from the mythical enigma of the Sphinx to the
appearances of artist Mary Kelly and Mulvey herself. As Mulvey herself
subsequently put it, "What recurs overall is a constant return to woman,
not indeed as a visual image, but as a subject of inquiry, a content
which cannot be considered within the aesthetic lines laid down by
traditional cinematic practice." - Lucy Reynolds

35MM
35mm is a collection of five works which use celluloid as the major
structural component. This series of shorts reflects digital
technologies assimilation of the motion picture in non-traditional
filmmaking. 35mm presents itself as a body of work exploring celluloid's
place in the future of avant-garde cinema. The hybrid may represent the
best of both mediums, the acquisition of the image on film and the
advantage of digital post-production and distribution. At the very least
it may be the final supernova before the analog world of gears and
sprockets goes silent and
dark....................................................................

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: THE PARSON'S WIDOW
by Carl Th. Dreyer 1921, 78 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent. No English
intertitles; English synopsis available A lyrical, early Dreyer comedy.
A young parson wins a plum parish in 17th-century Norway, but is obliged
to marry the widow of his deceased predecessor and pretend his
attractive young fiancée is his sister. The master's touch is evident in
the close-ups of the pastor's would-be rivals and parishioners, and in a
slow pan presaging the 360-degree views of VAMPYR.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC
by Carl Th. DreyerCarl Th. Dreyer 1927-28, 98 minutes, 35mm, b&w,
silent. No English intertitles; English synopsis available. A work that
exemplifies Dreyer's philosophy: simplicity is the most complex idea of
all. Although renowned for its spare acts, lack of embellishment, and
use of simple shots, Dreyer's masterpiece reveals the natural complexity
of an un-retouched face (often existing alone, filling up the frame) and
a landscape of history as individual as the lines on that face. Made in
1927-28, it continues to haunt the cinema, looking more and more
avant-garde as the years go by.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: VAMPYR
by Carl Th. Dreyer 1931-32, 70 minutes, 35mm, b&w. In Danish with no
subtitles; English synopsis available. "Imagine that we are sitting in a
very ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse behind
the door. Instantly, the room we are sitting in has taken on another
look. The light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are physically
the same. This is because we have changed and the objects are as we
conceive them. This is the effect I wanted to produce in VAMPYR." –Carl
Dreyer

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: DAY OF WRATH
by Carl Th. Dreyer 1943, 100 minutes, 35mm, b&w. In Danish with no
subtitles; English synopsis available. "Carl Dreyer's art begins to
unfold at the point where most other directors give up. Witchcraft and
martyrdom are his themes – but his witches don't ride broomsticks, they
ride the erotic fears of their persecutors. It is a world that suggests
a dreadful fusion of Hawthorne and Kafka." –Pauline Kael
