Thank you so much, Tony for your comments and insight.
Given that there never was a 'right' answer, seeking one only becomes
harder as time intervenes. We CAN'T erase those Muzak versions and
played-to-death and used-in-Nike ads experiences in our heads, at
least not completely. CoE seems to want to exist in the now, but it's
gathered enough historical baggage, along with just displaying markers
of it's time, that will inevitably frustrate that desire, at least to
some degree. And so I think there's a not-insignificant difference
between a radio broadcast of classic rock, and the deejay mix I made.
The broadcast occurs in the now, and will be random in a more thorough
way, yet by framing the records as 'classics' or oldies it overtly
pushes the content back into the past, and one framed by nostalgia at
that. The pre-recorded track is canned and fixed, the audience will
realize that it cannot be 'live' and is a sort of historical
recreation. But within that, the DJ patter frames the content as
existing in the ephemeral now of the pop culture moment, and no
referential context of memory is added by the audio itself. Different
viewers will relate to the 'past-ness' of the image and audio
differently. Some, I think, will be able to kind of transport
themselves back into a moment gone by as if it were the present, which
I think is cool. The more interactive and particpatory the screening
is, the more I think that happens -- which is why I asked everyone in
our (small) audiences to take turns playing with the gels.
That said, I still suspect that part of the idea of CoE is to invite
and embrace difference, including differences that 'weren't the idea'
at the time, because that was then yadda yadda. So while _I_ don't
like the idea of 'oldies' at all, and didn't think of my modest
assemblage in those terms, I think it's perfectly valid, now, to treat
CoE in a manner that emphasizes our distance from it's moment rather
than trying to collapse that gap. Any soundtrack I can imagine is
bound to work both forth and against either goal to some degree -- do
we read the oldies station with straight nostalgia or ironic distance?
Endlessly fascinating (just MHO).

Hi all I forward this email sent to me by David Finkelstein regarding Lawrence Brose. I do not know the details yet.
Dominic Angerame
Dear Friend,
Lawrence Brose is a wonderful experimental filmmaker who has been making films since 1983. The Department of Homeland Security is bringing charges against him, alleging that he possesses illicit digital images. The images in question are simply stills from his films and materials he uses to make his films.
The case of Lawrence Brose is a prime example of the contemporary abuse of power by Homeland Security and the Justice Department. The charges brought against Brose essentially make engaging a difficult issue a criminal offense and recall the government?s tactics during the McCarthy trials of the 1950s. Like that infamous challenge to Democracy, this case questions how far the government can reach, unopposed, into artists? studios, galleries, museums, and even our homes to silence free speech, thought, and inquiry.
His legal defense will be a crucial, precedent-setting case. It is very expensive, and a fund has been set up to help pay for it:

Please help!
Thank you.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Early Monthly Segments
http://earlymonthlysegments.org/
8:00 PM, Gladstone Hotel Art Bar, 1214 Queen Street West
EMS # 17 = NAOMI UMAN IN PERSON
We are very pleased to welcome Naomi Uman to town to present films from
her recent series, The Ukrainian Time Machine. These films developed out
of her decision to return to her ancestral home in Ukraine to live. The
films follow her process of assimilation into a small aging community in
rural Ukraine — a process that includes learning the language and
customs and connecting across very different cultural experiences. As
revealed in her previous films Leche and Mala Leche, which focused on
Mexican immigrants in California's Central Valley, Uman has an eye for
the agrarian labour practices that are often unknown parts of a
country's economy. Her life in Legedzine, Ukraine reveals an even more
localized food chain and her films follow the labour of the harvest, the
necessary pickling to withstand the winter season, and the social
occasions of the meal. As a result, the films in The Ukrainian Time
Machine are beautiful portraits of the process of creating a home
amongst new neighbors and the traditions of village life in modern
Ukraine. Programme: Selections from The Ukrainian Time Machine:

by Roberto Rossellini 1949, 85 minutes, 35mm. In Italian with no
subtitles; English synopsis available. Francesco (St. Francis of Assisi)
comes back to Santa Maria degli Angeli from Rome, journeying with his
friars through the rain. When they are driven out of a hut, he begs the
brothers' forgiveness for abusing their obedience. While the monks are
finishing the chapel, Brother Ginepro arrives naked again and confesses
that the previous night he was tempted by the Devil. Later, he cuts the
foot off a pig to feed a sick brother. That evening, Francesco meets a
leper and kisses him. Brother Ginepro receives Francesco's permission to
preach and arrives at the camp of Nicolaio, the tyrant of Viterbo, whose
cruelty he overcomes with his perfect humility. Francesco teaches
Brother Leone that bearing injuries and blows is an example of perfect
joy. Francesco sends his brothers out to preach far and wide.

Film Archives with support from the National Film Preservation

NEW PRINT! LATE SUPERIMPOSITIONS (1964, 28 minutes, 16mm) OZ, THE TIN
WOODMAN'S DREAM (1967, 15 minutes, 35mm) "My cinematic excreta is of
four varieties: – batiked animations made directly on film between 1939
and 1946; optically printed non-objective studies composed around 1950;
semi-realistic animated collages made as part of my alchemical labors of
1957 to 1962; and chronologically super-imposed photographs of
actualities formed since the latter year. All these works have been
organized in specific patterns derived from the interlocking beats of
the respiration, the heart and the EEG Alpha component and should be
observed together in order, or not at all, for they are valuable works,
works that will forever abide – they made me gray." –Harry Smith Total
running time: ca. 80 minutes

HEAVEN AND EARTH MAGIC
by Harry Smith 1950-61, 66 minutes, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film
Archives with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation and
Cineric, Inc. "NO. 12 can be seen as one moment – certainly the most
elaborately crafted moment – of the single alchemical film which is
Harry Smith's life work. In its seriousness, its austerity, it is one of
the strangest and most fascinating landmarks in the history of cinema.
Its elaborately constructed soundtrack in which the sounds of various
figures are systematically displaced onto other images reflects Smith's
abiding concern with auditory effects." –P. Adams Sitney
