Miami, FL: Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator, Inc.
http://elusivelandscape.blogspot.com
8PM - 10PM, E.G. Sewell Park, 1801 NW South River Drive
ELUSIVE LANDSCAPE
Elusive Landscape will be presented at five outdoor locations across
Miami from June to October 2010. This work consists of multiple
hand-crafted 16mm films depicting the forms and colors of natural
landscapes projected directly into the landscapes themselves. These
events will be free and open to the public. Artist Dinorah de Jesús
Rodriguez brings to this project over 30 years' experience in
hand-crafted 16mm filmmaking, as well as a history of moving image
installation, including several works which have included projections in
the outdoors. Unique soundscapes for each site will be provided by
composer and sound designer Ricardo Lastre. Following the five outdoor
installations, there will be an exhibition at Diaspora Vibe Gallery
showing the films projected onto screens as well as the filmstrips
themselves, encased in light boxes, and a video documenting the entire
process of creating and exhibiting this work.

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:

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Early Monthly Segments
http://earlymonthlysegments.org/
8:00 pm, the Art Bar, Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen St West
#19 = 8/17/10 = ROBERT FLAHERTY + KEVIN JEROME EVERSON
Five months and an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled since
the Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, Early Monthly
Segments presents two distinct visions of the impact of the oil industry
to the region and its inhabitants. Louisiana Story is Robert Flaherty's
1948 feature narrative film in which a boy and his pet raccoon serve as
witness to the risks and benefits of exploratory drilling to his bayou
home. Compromised from the start—the film was a commission for the
Standard Oil Company—the film nonetheless provides glimpses of truth
beneath the gloss. Shot on location by a young Richard Leacock using
local inhabitants as actors, the film contrasts the lush biodiversity of
the region, with the mechanical might of the rig and its machinery,
finding formal beauty in both. The film is also notable for it's
masterful editing by Helen van Dongen, and Virgil Thompson's Pulitzer
Prize winning score. Kevin Jerome Everson's Half On Half Off shows a
team of workers on Pensacola Beach, Florida dealing with the aftermath
of the recent Deepwater Horizon Spill. Everson shot the film one frame
at a time, compressing hours of work onto a single 3-minute roll of
film. The title refers to the work schedule of the cleaners, who work in
half-hour shifts punctuated with rests of the same length. In both films
work and life continue after the drilling stops, as does the question of
the hidden price of the lifestyle we've come to take for granted.

7-9pm, 329 Broome Street New York, NY 10002
STIRRINGS STILL
a selection of videos curated by andrea monti on display from August
19th through September 7th @ White Box Gallery organized in
collaboration with LUX and Lucca Film Festival 2010 opening reception on
Aug 19th 7-9pm Presenting videos made by American and European artists,
this program relates to Samuel Beckett's last work Stirrings Still at
many levels: aesthetically, structurally, emotionally and
metaphorically. The terms stirring and still, which generally refer to
movement and stillness, are combined together, a characteristic inherent
in all moving-image art works. Many of the selected videos center around
structure and aesthetics, showing the interaction between moving and
still elements, and exploring their reciprocal limits. Other works
involve the repetitions and obsessive self-reflection present in
Beckett's writing. While others deal with at some level the sentiment of
'the end', the passing of time and our fate of being alone with our own
existence. The works will be displayed as a 70 minute looped program as
part of the exhibition Project Birch Forest - Part 2, opening on August
19th through September 7th. featuring works by: elle burchill, stephen
dwoskin, kelly fancher, tim geraghty, raymond salvatore harmon, max le
cain, yasue maetake, yoel meranda, rick niebe, simon payne, jean-gabriel

SORROWS OF DOLORES & MUSEUM OF WAX
by Charles Ludlam Total running time: ca. 105 minutes., video Film Notes
Charles Ludlam THE SORROWS OF DOLORES 80 minutes, video. With Everett
Quinton, Minette, Arthur Kraft, Lola Pashalinski, John D. Brockmeyer,
Black-Eyed Susan, and Richard France. & MUSEUM OF WAX 22 minutes, video.
With Charles Ludlam, Everett Quinton, and Richard France. THE SORROWS OF
DOLORES is a feature based on early silent serials like THE PERILS OF
PAULINE, while MUSEUM OF WAX is a short horror film starring Ludlam.
Both films feature regular Ridiculous cast members like Everett Quinton,
Minette, "Crazy Arthur" Kraft, Lola Pashalinski, John D. Brockmeyer, and
Black-Eyed Susan. Begun in the late 1970s and still uncompleted at the
time of Ludlam's death from AIDS in 1987, these films had only been
screened three or four times for private audiences until they were
rediscovered and restored by Queer/Art/Film, and premiered at the IFC
Center in February. Though both were left silent, Peter Golub, long-time
composer for the Ridiculous Theatrical Company, has composed new scores
for the films (in the case of DOLORES, incorporating fragments of the
score he wrote, but never recorded, during the film's production). Total
running time: ca. 105 minutes.

LUPE
by José Rodriguez-Soltero 1966, 50 minutes, 16mm Film Notes Unlike
Warhol's LUPE, which emphasizes the decline of Mexican Hollywood star
Lupe Velez (and Edie Sedgwick), Rodriguez-Soltero's is a sumptuous film
that celebrates both Velez and Puerto Rican underground actor Mario
Montez, who plays Velez. Drawing on the collaboration of Theater of the
Ridiculous stars Lola Pashalinski and Charles Ludlum, LUPE is one of the
finest films from the New York underground, offering an ecstatic
explosion of color, costume, music, camp performance, and complex
superimpositions. Plus: 2 ADDITIONAL RECENTLY-DISCOVERED FILMS DIRECTED
BY LUDLAM! THE BACCHAE (1967-68, 12.5 minutes, 16mm-to-video) GOOSEFLESH
(1967-69, 22 minutes, 16mm-to-video) Total running time: ca. 90 minutes.
