ESSENTIAL CINEMA: HARRY SMITH PROGRAM
EARLY ABSTRACTIONS (1941-57, 23 minutes, 16mm) Preserved by Anthology
Film Archives with support from the National Film Preservation
Foundation. MIRROR ANIMATIONS (extended 1979 version, 11 minutes, 35mm)
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

THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES
by Sergei Paradjanov 1968, 79 minutes, 35mm. In Armenian with English
subtitles. Representing one extreme within the spectrum of innovative
approaches to the biographical film, Paradjanov's masterpiece pays
tribute to the 18th-century Armenian poet Sayat Nova by means of a
series of striking, mysterious, and enigmatic tableaux, evoking the
poet's childhood and youth, his days as a troubadour at the court of
King Heraclius II of Georgia, his retreat to a monastery, and his old
age and death, as well as suggesting something of the nature of his
sensibility. POMEGRANATES is arguably the most radical and visionary of
all biographical films.

New York, New York: Millennium Film Workshop
http://www.millenniumfilm.org/
7.30 pm, 66 East 4th Street
NEWS FROM NAVARRA: A SHOWCASE OF PUNTO DE VISTA'S ANTI-DOCUMENTARY
DOCUMENTARIES
Millennium Film Workshop is proud to present a program of new Spanish
experimental non-fiction, in conjunction with the festival Punto de
Vista, selected by Doctruck and Uniondocs, and co-presented with Pragda.
---The Punto de Vista Documentary Film Festival is an annual festival
held in Navarra dedicated to forms of cinema generically grouped under
the heading of 'documentary.' Programmed by Artistic Director Jostexo
Cerdán, films come from around the world, with an emphasis on finding
rarities in form and subject. The festival seeks to reward risk-taking
and non-narrative approaches, and to uncover glints in Spanish and World
Cinema. -------PROGRAM-----AMANAR TAMASHEQ, Directed by Lluis Escartin,
2010, 15mins. Lluis Escartín's AMANAR TAMASHEQ communicates a highly
political message by respectful and reflexive means, delivered in an
intelligent and poetic combination of sound and image. Escartin lived
with Tuareg rebels in the desert of Mali, and turned his camera on them
in order to bring back their messages -- to the degree that the
mistranslations of language and history allow.--------- LOS MATERIALES,
Directed by Los Hijos, 2009, 67 mins, DVD. LOS MATERIALES explores an
empty landscape around the reservoir of Riaño, in the province of León,
in which the former town and nine other villages lie submerged as a
consequence of a flood in 1987. The three members of Los Hijos, a young
experimental filmmaking collective from Madrid, spent a year walking the
area, and the resulting work is a spare, diffuse document of a village
just below the surface of history. Subtitles replace dialogue, leaving
the occasional background noise as the sole sound source, and the story
reliant on written text. "Interesting and fearless, lively and
stimulating, the film's purpose is the exploration of Riaño, not only to
dismember its dramatic structure but its semantic field.... The
recovering of village's history turns out to be impossible, just
suggested, almost abstract, while the movie's plot drives to
metacinematographic issues and ends -in a mysterious, strange and
disconcerting turn- becoming a terror history." –Cahiers du cinema,
España. ----------- Discussion to follow with Josetxo Cerdán, María
Adell of PRAGDA, and Spanish Film Critic Manu Yáñez. Admission: $8/$6

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: FLAMING CREATURES
SCOTCH TAPE 1962, 3 minutes, 16mm. Junkyard musical. & FLAMING CREATURES
1963, 45 minutes, 16mm, b&w, sound. '[Smith] graced the anarchic
liberation of new American cinema with graphic and rhythmic power worthy
of the best of formal cinema. He has attained for the first time in
motion pictures a high level of art which is absolutely lacking in
decorum; and a treatment of sex which makes us aware of the restraint of
all previous filmmakers." –FILM CULTURE

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: WAVELENGTH
by Michael Snow 1967, 45 minutes, 16mm. "[It] is without precedent in
the purity of its confrontation with the essence of cinema: the
relationships between illusion and fact, space and time, subject and
object. It is the first post-Warhol, post-Minimal movie; one of the few
films to engage those higher conceptual orders which occupy modern
painting and sculpture. It has rightly been described as a 'triumph of
contemplative cinema'." –Gene Youngblood, L.A. FREE PRESS

8:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
ESSENTIAL CINEMA: BACK AND FORTH
by Michael Snow 1969, 52 minutes, 16mm. "...This neat, finely tuned,
hypersensitive film examines the outside and inside of a banal prefab
classroom, stares at an asymmetrical space so undistinguished that it's
hard to believe the whole movie is confined to it, and has this
neckjerking camera gimmick which hits a wooden stop arm at each end of
its swing. Basically it's a perpetual motion film which ingeniously
builds a sculptural effect by insisting on time-motion to the point
where the camera's swinging arcs and white wall field assume the
hardness, the dimensions of a concrete beam. "In such a hard, drilling
work, the wooden clap sounds are a terrific invention, and, as much as
any single element, create the sculpture. Seeming to thrust the image
outward off the screen, these clap effects are timed like a metronome,
sometimes occurring with torrential frequency." –Manny Farber, ARTFORUM

NIGHT LIGHT: MULTIMEDIA GARDEN PARTY
SOMArts Cultural Center's Main Gallery Exhibitions & Programs presents
"Night Light: Multimedia Garden Party," a one-night-only special event
exploring temporary multimedia abstract sound, video, and film
installations set in the garden and gallery. "Night Light" presents
site-specific film installations spilling through the bamboo grove and
on monitors sprinkled throughout the driveway, as well as ambient sound
performances and amorphous video projections. The videos all feature a
collection of locally produced video art installations with a grouping
co-curated by Stephen Parr from the Oddball Films archive. Kerry Laitala
premiere's a new 3-D video projection titled "Afterimage: A Flicker of
Life," with soundtrack by Wobbly and Laitala, additional Laitala films
to be screened include "Chromatic Cocktail Extra Fizzy" and "Chromatic
Frenzy" accompanied by live sound by Cloud Archive as well as two new
installations, "Mercurial Madness" and "Chromatastic." The
one-night-only exhibition was conceived of by SOMArts Curator and
Gallery Director Justin Hoover. Featured artists include Mauricio and
Christine Ancalmo, Lucca Antonucci, Paul Clipson, Jon Grover, Justin
Hurty, Scott Kildall, Lynn Marie Kirby, Kerri Laitala, Peter Max
Lawrence, Conrad Meyers II, Stephen Parr, Skye Thorstensen, and Bryan
Van Reuter/Cloud Archive and a special live performance titled 100 Songs
by Ajna Lichau and Bryson Hansen. "Night Light" investigates a strong
local subgenre of sound and installation art in San Francisco that
explores visual, light and sound installation art from a place of true
abstraction, unhinging the confines of their art from conventions such
as painterly formalism, sculptural composition, and time-based editing
formalism. The one-night event was timed to coincide with the month-long
exhibition "Totally Unrealistic: the art of abstraction," which will be
on display in the SOMArts Main Gallery through July.

variety of ways to re-see what is right before our eyes. Featuring the
Los Angeles premieres of most of these films. Chris Kennedy in person!

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: TRIUMPH OF THE WILL
by Leni Riefenstahl 1934-35, 106 minutes, 35mm, b&w. "The official Nazi
record of the 1934 Nuremberg Party rally, commissioned by Hitler and
directed by Leni Riefenstahl, [it] is one of the most controversial
contributions to film history because of its subject matter – her
insistence that the film is solely a work of art and not propaganda; and
the presentation of the subject matter – the manipulation of reality in
this 'documentary' record. The contributions to the art of film this
work has to offer are closely tied to the controversies. [It] is a
masterpiece of style and editing, which in turn are the very techniques
used to manipulate reality and create emotionally effective propaganda."
