ROBERT ON HIS LUNCH BREAK @ WOODLAND PATTERN
On Friday, August 13th, at Woodland Pattern in Milwaukee, filmmaker Dave
Andrae will unveil his latest creation: the 24-minute experimental
narrative Robert on his Lunch Break. A carefully crafted meditation on
resentment, it conveys with pathos and humor the strange, confounding
sensation of being put on the spot by a troll. "Robert on his Lunch
Break is not an unpleasant film," explains Andrae, "but it deals with
unpleasant emotions. It's sort of an existentialist western, only
instead of there being a gunfight there's a psychological showdown in
the form of a bizarre conversation. The film has a stiff, subdued acting
style and its dialogue is marked by a lot of negative space. This is
definitely an odd one, but it looks good and has a kindhearted ethos,
and that's why I like it." Andrae shot the film in three different
states (Florida, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin) and on a variety of
formats (Super 8, 16mm, and high-definition video). Robert on his Lunch
Break features a unique assortment of artists and personalities, and its
prologue and opening credits include incidental sounds by noise artist
Prurient. Also playing at the screening are Andrae's early student film
Ped; the short concert film Fugazi's Last Stop in Wisconsin; and the
always-good-for-a-laugh Self-important Empirical Film #3, with
Voice-over, which won the award for "Best Experimental Film" at the 8th
Annual Boston Underground Film Festival. The program will be followed by
a charming Q&A with Andrae himself. Admission is $4.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: KINO EYE
by Dziga Vertov 1925, 70 minutes, 16mm Film Notes KINO-EYE / KINOGLAZ
"The film drama is the Opium of the people…down with Bourgeois
fairy-tale scenarios…long live life as it is!" – D.V. "The three Kaufman
brothers of Bialystok were taught to work out things for themselves,
without depending on accepted norms. The inventions in partnership of
the two older brothers, Denis and Mikhail, have become part of film
history; each also invented his own mask – Denis devised a poetic
pseudonym, Dziga Vertov – Mikhail disguised himself as 'Vertov's
cameraman.' Early experience with factual films led the partner brothers
to adopt the most vulnerable of film trades – the 'documentary film,'
universally looked down upon by the professionals and the audiences of
studio fictions. Vertov spent his life fighting back, a fight that ended
in futility and posthumous fame. "It now seems fortunate that the
brothers grew up in the political confusion of a Polish town in a
Russian empire (now it is again Poland, near the Byelorussian border).
It may be significant that the boldest and most inventive forces in
Soviet cinema (all of exactly the same generation) emerged from the
non-Russian edges of the empire – Eisenstein from Riga, Dovzhenko from
the Ukraine. "Initially the Kaufmans chose three different paths: Denis,
already determined to be a poet, joined a Soviet propaganda office;
Mikhail joined a motorized arm of the Red Army; Boris, the youngest,
went West. Without the partnership of the two older brothers there might
have been no Kino-Pravda (a concept formed the day that Mikhail came
home from the army), no KINO-GLAZ, no MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA. Once
separated, both continued to function but were not able to withstand the
multiple pressures that can be brought to bear upon an individual artist
of original ideas or a brilliant sensitive technician. Vertov left most
of his ideas on paper." –Jay Leyda

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA
by Dziga Vertov 1929, 104 minutes, 35mm Film Notes MAN WITH A MOVIE
CAMERA / CHELOVEK S KINO-APPARATOM "Little introduction is needed for
one of the great masterpieces of world cinema, Vertov's extraordinary
meditation on then-contemporary Soviet Russian society and the place of
filmmakers within it. A kind of 'city symphony,' cataloguing the sights
and sounds of urban life, the film is structured across a day, beginning
with citizens waking up while machines are revved up. As Vertov shows
us, among the first heading off to work is the 'man with the movie
camera,' played in the film by his brother and cameraman Mikhail
Kaufman. For Vertov, the camera was a kind of infinitely more perfect
eye: it could offer details and aspects of the world that might be
missed otherwise." –FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER

SOME AMERICAN LANDSCAPES
$6. The American landscape is examined in distinct ways in these recent
films. Jeremy Menzies' Between the Lines uses time lapse and night
photography to observe the human-built environment in a series of
exquisitely composed takes. Rick Bahto's Still Life depicts an
arrangement of potted plants situated in locations around their native
environment that have been transformed by human activity. John Palmer
explores real and imagined fragments of the California landscape through
a variety of alternative techniques in his Landscape Quartet. Finally,
Shauna McGarry and Lorna Turner present alternate views of the Echo Park
neighborhood of Los Angeles in short Super 8 portraits. Program notes:
