Chicago, Illinois: The Nightingale
http://nightingaletheatre.org
8pm, 1084 N. Milwaukee
PRETTY PARTY A FAREWELL SCREENING OF CHICAGO-MADE WORK BY JODIE MACK
Animator Jodie Mack has brightened Chicago's experimental film scene for
the last half-decade with her trademark clash of abstraction and
familiarity. Often collage based, her work exhibits a rigorous
understanding of formalist structures while sidestepping the alienation
sometime affiliated with experimental short form. Mack's world is one of
vivid color, lively music, and wordplay. Rather than obscuring the
connection to cinematic genre, Mack embraces it, creating in the process
work that is visually inventive, invested in form and still unabashedly
fun.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------- PRETTY PARTY gives us the chance to watch Jodie's
movies and celebrate with her before she moves to New Hampshire this
fall to start as Professor of Animation at Dartmouth College. The
program will present works Mack made while living in Chicago, including,
YARD WORK IS HARD WORK, her animated collage musical; LILLY, her
photo-negative WWII portrait; unseen experiments; and several brand-new
films shot this summer as part of her packing process. In shooting Parts
1-3 of the Unsubscribe Series, Mack attempts to use up all the scraps
from her in-home animation studio to build formal visual experiments
each grouped around a different theme. Mack has also invited several of
her Chicago collaborators to contribute musical accompaniment to the
evening. Expect songs and snack as we bid a tearful goodbye to the
indomitable Miss Mack.

Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada: Struts Gallery & Faucet Media Arts Centre
http://www.strutsgallery.ca
7:30pm, Campbell Carriage Factory
SITES FOR SEEING: OUT OF THE CINEPLEX AND INTO THE MARSHLAND
Gerda Cammaer will present WATERLINES, WETLANDS AND WHIRLPOOLS: Canadian
Experimental Films that hold Water. at the Campbell Carriage Factory
Museum, with a reception at 7:30 pm, an artist talk at 8pm, and the
screening itself will start after sunset at 8:30pm. --------- Faucet
Media Arts Centre & Struts Gallery are thrilled to present Sites for
Seeing: Out of the Cineplex and Into the Marshland -- a series of four
outdoor experimental film screenings in the Tantramar marshes.
----------- Coming to Sackville are four established curators who
maintain dynamic professional practices with a history of publication:
Kika Thorne from Berlin, Gerda Cammaer from Toronto, Mike Hoolboom from
Toronto, and Solomon Nagler from Halifax. A major component of the Sites
for Seeing project is bringing these artists to Sackville to engage with
the local community. During their visit, they will meet with local
artists and residents at a reception before the screening, as well as
through individual studio visits the day after the screening.--------
The screenings will mark the launch of Sift; a new cultural broadsheet
devoted to critical writing, interviews, and images about contemporary
art. Each curator has been asked to write an essay about the films they
are presenting. The essays, along with interviews will be printed in the
inaugural issues of Sift as well as published on our website. We asked
the programmers to consider accessibility and innovation in their
approach by encouraging non-traditional forms of writing. Kika Thorne,
for example, will print her own essay by hand using a silkscreen process
and inks made from local vegetables left over from a potluck dinner. The
limited edition prints of her essay will be available at her screening
on Friday, August 20.------ Sites for Seeing is made possible through
the support of a dissemination grant from the Canada Council for the
Arts. For more information on this project, contact
email suppressed or phone 506-536-1211. ---------- The other two
screenings will take place in September, with Mike Hoolboom presenting
Fear of Flying: Beauty and Power on Friday, September 17, and Solomon
Nagler presenting Blissful Discretion on Saturday, September 18.

Chicago, Illinois: White Light Cinema
http://www.whitelightcinema.com
8:00pm, The Nightingale (1084 N. Milwaukee Ave.)
ALEXANDER KLUGE'S STRONGMAN FERDINAND
White Light Cinema is pleased to present Alexander Kluge's rare New
German Cinema film STRONGMAN FERDINAND (Der starke Ferdinand, 1976, 91
mins., 35mm on video). ***** Born in 1932, Kluge began making short
films in 1960 and completed his first feature, YESTERDAY GIRL, in 1966.
He was part of the revitalizing New German Cinema movement that also
included Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders, Volker
Schlöndorff, and Werner Schroeter. Kluge was an ideologue, advocate,
author, teacher, and one of the spiritual guides for a re-awakened
German cinema. During the 1960s and 70s, he made several key, if little
known in the US even today, works of the period, including ARTISTS UNDER
THE BIG TOP: PERPLEXED (1967), PART-TIME WORK OF A DOMESTIC SLAVE
(1973), and THE FEMALE SLAVE (1979), and participated in the omnibus
film GERMANY IN AUTUMN (1978). He made his last feature in 1986 and has
since been working in television and continuing to write. ***** More
than others of his contemporaries, Kluge's films frequently incorporated
experimental, Brechtian, and other formalist techniques. He injected his
films with disruptions to break the narrative flow. STRONGMAN FERDINAND,
though, was his most conventional early feature. ***** It is the story
of Ferdinand Rieche, a former policeman, who becomes the new head of
security at a private corporation. Rieche is obsessed with his role as a
security expert: the narration at the start states, "This is Ferdinand
Rieche. Security is his business He knows everything about it and will
never understand that other people don't." Rieche thinks and plans. He
reads books on Marx and communism to understand his enemy; he drills his
guards endlessly; he conducts practice evacuations of the plant. But his
obsessiveness about security begins to move from the practical to the
abstract and absurd. He begins to lose himself in the idea of
perfection. ***** Admission: $7.00-10.00 sliding scale
