6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
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

7:30 pm, Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Blvd. at Las Palmas
LOS ANGELES FILMFORUM PRESENTS JOURNEYS FROM BERLIN/1971 WITH YVONNE
RAINER IN PERSON
Part 4 (of 8) of Bodies, Objects, Films: An Yvonne Rainer Retrospective
Over the course of our 2009-2010 seasons, Filmforum is proud to present
a full retrospective of the media works of Yvonne Rainer. One of the
most significant artists in dance and film of the last fifty years, this
is the first full retrospective of her films in Los Angeles. Each
appearance by Rainer will feature a Q&A led by a different moderator, to
discuss with her varying aspects of her approaches to her art and life.
We'll start with her earliest and latest works, all connected to various
performances. Tonight's Q&A will be led by Simon Leung, artist and
professor at UC Irvine. Admission $10 general, $6 students/seniors, free
for Filmforum members Advance ticket purchase available through Brown
Paper Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/94169 To explore
the ramifications of terrorism, Rainer employs an extended therapy
session--in which an American woman speaks to a series of
psychiatrists--to evoke the daily experiences of power and repression.

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

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ORDET
by Carl Th. Dreyer 1955, 132 minutes, 35mm, b&w. In Danish with no
subtitles; English synopsis available. An existential morality essay by
the master of the long take, in which a man who believes he is Jesus
Christ soon begins to convince those around him. Based on the play by
Kaj Munk, ORDET is a meditation on faith and fanaticism.

DEEP LEAP MICROCINEMA - SACRED GEOMETRIES
DEEP LEAP MICROCINEMA is a Portland-based monthly art event devoted to
pairing thematically curated video art, experimental film and new media
works from around the globe with specially commissioned performance.
This program focuses on *Sacred Geometries*. Expect mesmerizing shapes,
critical engagement with the seductive ideas of Sacred Geometry and slow
burn brain melts. Sacred Geometry is, in its essence, the recognition of
the geometric/mathematical order and patterns through which the material
world is ordered and constructed. Math is nature, patterns produce order
and a sense of the sacred is imbued in everything. This most seductive
of notions--that our insides and the insides of all natural, material
things are composed of the same simple shapes, the same enrapturing
patterns--is as old as recorded history as is its use by artists as a
mode of expressing inter-connectivity and divinity. This program
attempts to parse the ways in which these ideas are carried forth into
the digital age; how contemporary makers and thinkers treat
aesthetic/spiritual philosophies of such global, historical and simple
contexts. Sabine Gruffat, Jade Ajani, David Smith, Dustin Zemel, Clint
Enns, Leslie Supnet, Jen Stark, Jesse Malmed, more, more, more, more,

NASHASHIBI/SKAER PROGRAM
Post-screening discussion with filmmakers! Nashashibi/Skaer is an
ongoing collaboration between British artists Rosalind Nashashibi and
Lucy Skaer. Beginning with an interest in each other's individual work
and a shared sense of experimentation, their first 16mm film, AMBASSADOR
(2005), plays with the rules of ethnographic framing, exploring the aura
of a representative figure, the British Consul General to Hong Kong, in
the quotidian context of his apartment. FLASH IN THE METROPOLITAN
(2006), filmed after dark in New York's Metropolitan Museum, reveals a
sporadic illumination of various exhibits, offering a dislocated,
non-indexical visitation to the museum's holdings. And OUR MAGNOLIA
(2009), their latest film, takes Paul Nash's 1944 wartime painting
'Flight of the Magnolia' as inspiration for a consideration of British
history, public persona, and the role of sculpture as an effaced and
often fictional artifact.

Brooklyn, New York: Light Industry
http://www.lightindustry.org/
7:30pm, 220 36th Street, 5th Floor
OBEDIENCE
Introduced by Zoe Beloff. Obedience, Stanley Milgram, 16mm, 1962, 45
mins. Folie à Deux, National Film Board of Canada, 16mm, 1952, 15 mins.
Motion Studies Application, 16mm, ca. 1950, 15 mins. Obedience documents
the infamous "Milgram experiment" conducted at Yale University in 1962,
created to evaluate an everyday person's deference to authority within
institutional structures. Psychologist Stanley Milgram designed a
scenario in which individuals were made to think they were administering
electric shocks to an unseen subject, with a researcher asking them to
increase the voltage levels despite the loud cries of pain that seemed
to come from the other room. Taking place mere months after Adolf
Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem, Milgram saw his test as a way to
understand the environments that made genocide possible. Tonight, artist
Zoe Beloff pairs Obedience with two earlier works dealing with
psycho-social control: Folie à Deux and Motion Studies Application. The
former, one of a series of films on various psychological maladies
produced by the National Film Board of Canada in the 1950s, presents an
interview with a young woman and her immigrant mother afflicted by
shared delusions that manifest when the two are together. The latter is
an industrial film purporting to present ways to increase efficiency in
the workplace: explaining, for instance, a means to fold cardboard boxes
more quickly. In stark contrast to the nostalgic whimsy typically
associated with old educational films, Folie à Deux and Motion Studies
Application play as infernal dreams of systemic power and sources of
intense, unintended pathos. "The concept of 'motion studies' is central
to cinema itself. Without the desire to analyze human motion, there
would be no cinematic apparatus. But the history of motion studies is
freighted with ideology. Its inventor Étienne-Jules Marey was paid by
the French Government to figure out the most efficient method for
soldiers to march, while his protégé Albert Londe analyzed the gait of
hysterical patients. From the beginning, the productive body promoted by
Taylorism was always shadowed by its double, the body riven by psychic
breakdown. We see this in Motion Studies Application and especially
Folie à Deux, where unproductive patients, confined to the asylum,
understand with paranoid lucidity that the institution is everywhere,
monitoring them always. Obedience stands as a conscious critique of
these earlier industrial films, co-opting their form only to subvert
them and reveal their fascist underpinnings." - ZB

#11 = 1/19/10 = JAMES BENNING + NICKY HAMLYN
A transitional film at the end of his first decade of filmmaking, James
Benning's GRAND OPERA introduces a degree of storytelling to his
previously more formalist devices. Benning calls the film his "first
attempt at writing my own kind of history" and, in a sense, it also
serves to write himself into history, acutely measuring his place as a
Midwestern experimental filmmaker, then based in Oklahoma, in
relationship to the avant-garde scene situated in New York. The film
thus features homages to the prominent experimental cinema of the time,
including a spoof of Wavelength, as well as cameos from Michael Snow,
Hollis Frampton and Yvonne Rainer. Woven with these sequences are other
characteristic Benning gambits – a compilation of every house he ever
lived in, a preoccupation with the history of Pi, and the looming threat
that a building will explode. Programme: GRAND OPERA: A HISTORICAL
ROMANCE, 16mm, 1979, USA, 84 mins, colour Film by James Benning
featuring Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton, George Landow, Sadie Benning
and Yvonne Rainer. Screened with: POLES APART, Nicky Hamlyn, Regular

CIRCLES OF CONFUSION: A HOLLIS FRAMPTON FILM RETROSPECTIVE PART 1
Los Angeles Filmforum and Khastoo Gallery are delighted to present
CIRCLES OF CONFUSION, a five-screening series of films by Hollis
Frampton, from January 21 to February 7, 2010, with guest scholars and
artists at each program to discuss his works and their influence on
later artists. Hollis Frampton (1936-1984) was an American filmmaker,
artist and writer who left a legacy of brilliant innovation in
avant-garde cinema. His films were challenging and ground breaking
explorations in the material properties of the medium, including but not
limited to mathematics, the contours of perception and cognition, and
the phenomenological nature of the motion picture. (323) 472-6498;

HÄXAN WITH A LIVE NEW SCORE BY DR. PRISONER: THE BRAIN!
HÄXAN with a live new score by DR. PRISONER: THE BRAIN! Forget Murnau.
Forget Griffith. The greatest repository of images in all of silent film
is surely Benjamin Christensen's magnificent, loony HÄXAN, also known as
WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES. Featuring crazed nuns, flaming witches, and
a spectacularly obscene performance by the director himself as Satan,
HÄXAN is like no other film ever made: an uncontrolled rampage of
feverish, violent images, part historical recreation, part religious
satire, all hallucination. Artists Television Access is proud to present
HÄXAN in a newly butchered version, prepared especially for this
screening by conceptual artist Dr. Astronaut Body. Now missing over half
an hour of crucial footage and structurally reorganized for maximum
impact, HÄXAN will be accompanied by a new score performed live by the
San Francisco electronica band DR. PRISONER: THE BRAIN! Including
members of The Pine Box Boys and Reagan's Polyp, DR. PRISONER: THE
BRAIN! is part of the same creative team that has premiered new scores
for THE MAN WITH THE MOVIE CAMERA, NOSFERATU, THE CABINET OF DR.
CALIGARI, THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC, THE MAN WHO LAUGHS, KOYAANISQATSI,
and the Led Zeppelin film THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME, all at Artists
Television Access.

the locations of various breakups to an homage to composer Philip Glass
and a confessional letter from an HIV-positive man to Madonna. Winner

Pyongyang Festival, Korea, 2004; and Best Documentary, Festival du
Nouveau Cinema, Montreal, 2004. At 7pm please join us for the re-launch
