Brussels, Belgium: Bozar Cinema & Courtisane
http://www.bozar.be/home.php?bozar=cinema&
8 PM, Bozar, 23 Rue Ravenstein
PAUL CLIPSON, PAUL LABRECQUE & IGNATZ
The elegantly ravishing super 8 films of Paul Clipson (USA) are lyrical
explorations of light and movement. His images, mostly edited in-camera,
reveal the rhythms, energy and sensuality of the everyday that we often
fail to see. The influence of experimental filmmakers such as Stan
Brakhage, Marie Menken, Bruce Conner and Bruce Baillie is palpable in
his multi-layered studies, as well as that of the many sound artists and
musicians with whom he has collaborated over the years, such as Jefre
Cantu-Ledesma, Gregg Kowalsky and William Fowler Collins. For this
occasion, a selection of his recent film work will be accompanied live
for the first time by Bram Devens (alias Ignatz, BE) and Paul Labrecque
(alias Head of Wantastiquet, Sunburned Hand of the Man, US). Both
musicians draw their exorcising sound explorations from the tradition of
"American Primitivism", where the dreaded, uncompromising ghost of John
Fahey dwells. Paul Clipson: http://www.withinmirrors.org/ Paul Labrecque

THE LAND OF THE RISING FASTBALL + THE LSD NO-NO +
Dedicated to recently-deceased editor Andrew Koenig, and with its
director Lance Miccio and writer Matthew Turner in attendance, the world
premiere of this cross-cultural report explores Japan's National
Pastime—baseball!—and the sociological role it has played through that
nation's growth, from its 1872 introduction, through Babe Ruth's '30s
tours, the World War, and beyond. Narrated by Buck Ford, Miccio blends
interviews with Hall of Fame players, visits to Japanese "Castles of
Baseball," and a compelling score by Charlie McAllister to give the
viewer a deep historical sense of yakyu, or Japanese baseball culture.
PLUS James Blagden's The LSD No-No—an animation in which Major-League
pitcher Dock Ellis relates his acid story—and a locker of 16mm archival
clips on both post-war Japan and the hallowed sport itself. Hot sake and
cold Sapporo!

THE FILM REGISTRY SHOW RETURNS! SELECTIONS FROM RECENT PICKS BY THE
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Every year the Library of Congress selects 25 films to be added to its
film registry. Some are well-known; some obscure. Last season Filmforum
held the first show of short films selected for the Library of Congress
Film Registry. Due to technical difficulties, the sound 16mm films
weren't able to be screened, so we've brought them back, along with
several other films selected for the Registry, including a couple of
home movie classics and several marvelous experimental films. Filmmaker
Janie Geiser, a Filmforum member, will be at the show for questions!
Including: The Sex Life of the Polyp (Thomas Chalmers, Robert Benchley,
1928, 11 min., selected in 2007); Quasi at the Quackadero (Sally
Cruikshank, 1975, 10 min., color, selected in 2009); Disneyland Dream
(Robbins Barstow, 1956, 34 min., selected in 2008); he Lead Shoes
(Sydney Peterson, 1949, 18 minutes, 16mm, b&w, selected in 2009); The
Red Book (Janie Geiser, 1994, 11 minutes, 16mm, color, selected in
2009); and more!

STEPHEN DWOSKIN
ON SUNDAY SEPT 26TH & MONDAY SEPT 27TH Screening starts at 7pm
NIGHTSHOTS 1,2,3 2006-2007, b/w, sound, 33' Shot utilizing the "night
vision" function of a digital video camera, these films deal with one
person's perspective on sexuality, with the visual distortion and
off-kilter color balance of the low-light camera adding to the film's
unique point of view. Nightshots 1,2,3 was screened in competition at
the 2007 Rotterdam International Film Festival. "The first three of a
series of intriguing personal and erotic relationships, exploring in the
intimacy of darkness, and transformed by the colour play of the night
light." SD / ... THE SUN AND THE MOON 2007, col, sound, 60' This video
is some kind of enforced domestic cinema: an excessive video film in
which the maker does not spare himself. Short of breath, lengthy pants,
in the absence of the spoken word. "The Sun and the Moon, a film fairy
tale, is about two women's terrifying encounter with 'Otherness' in the
form of a man, abject and monstrous, and for them to either to witness,
accept or partake in his annihilation. All are caught in their own
isolation and are fearful of the menace that has to be met. The film, as
a personal interpretation of Beauty and the Beast, enciphers concerns,
beliefs and desires in seductive images that are themselves a form of
camouflage, making it possible to utter harsh truths." SD / ... Stephen
Dwoskin Bio Steve Dwoskin was born in 1939 in Brooklyn, New York City,
into a poor family originally from Odessa. He contracted polio at the
age of 7 and was left disabled. After studying art (under professors de
Kooning and Albers), he attended New York University and the Parsons
School of Design, and was a regular in Greenwich Village with the likes
of Andy Warhol, Allen Ginsberg, and Robert Frank. He discovered
experimental cinema alongside Maya Deren and was influenced by the
transgressive underground films of Jack Smith and Ron Rice. He later
published the book FILM IS… on this genre, in a highly personal and
activist style. After working as a photographer and graphic designer,
Dwoskin worked as an art director for CBS while at the same time
producing his own films using found footage. The first of these, ASLEEP,
was awarded a prize at the Venice Biennale. In 1964, he moved to Britain
on a scholarship. He settled there and was the driving force behind an
independent cinema movement (the London Film-Makers' Cooperative). In
the 1970s, he directed feature films which made him known outside the
experimental movement. After working for a time on subjective
documentaries on artists such as photographer Bill Brandt or the Ballet
Nègre company, his film-making became increasingly introspective as his
mobility diminished.

8:30pm, 631 W. 2nd St., Los Angeles, CA 90012
THE BEST OF OTTAWA 2009
This selection of 12 outstanding films from the Ottawa International
Animation Festival 2009, most of which are Los Angeles premieres,
reflects the vitality of experimental animation today and includes work
from Canada, England, Estonia, France, Germany, Poland, and the United
States. Each filmmaker demonstrates a passion for telling stories,
whether abstract or figurative, and the works showcase the rich
possibilities of animation as personal art. Films include Eric Dyer's
mesmerizing The Bellow's March, Diego Maclean's haunting The Art of
Drowning, and David OReilly's sci-fi drama Please Say Something, as well
as works by Jake Armstrong, Bastien Dubois, Julian Grey, Rao Heidmets,
Stephen Irwin, Gary Leib, Ian Miller, Marv Newland, and Michal Socha.
Two new films by American animators who continue to delight, disturb,
and enlighten— Myth Labs by Martha Colburn and Presentation Theme by Jim
Trainor—will also be screened. In person: Suzan Pitt, Ottawa
International Animation Festival jury member/ Jack H. Skirball Series $9

Reading, Pennsylvania: Berks Filmmakers, Inc

7:30 pm, Albright College Center for the Arts
BROKEN BLOSSOMS
. Probably the most poetic of his features, a film that "…owes its
simplicity to the fact that Griffith was then making a series of films
based on short stories. The title of Thomas Burke's "The Chink and the
Child" sounds offensive today, but it was an ironic reference to the
epithet forced upon an idealistic young Chinese man who comes to
London's grim Limehouse district and becomes disillusioned. He falls in
love with the delicate Lucy, abused by her violent, drunken father….
Apart from the strong performances from the three leads [Richard
Barthelmess, Donald Crisp, Lillian Gish], the film was perhaps the first
to consistently use the "soft style" of cinematography, an approach that
borrowed from a recently established trend in still photography. The
hazy views of the Chinese setting in the opening and of the Limehouse
docks later on would be enormously influential on films of the 1920s."-

9:30 p.m., Cable Car Cinema & Cafe
THE UNDERWATER SHOW
Magic Lantern Cinema Presents: THE UNDERWATER SHOW: A Plan for a Cinema
at the Bottom of a Lake. Curated by Josh Guilford. Wednesday September
29, 2010, 9:30 PM @ The Cable Car Cinema & Cafe, 204 S. Main St.,
Providence, RI. Admission $5 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In 1951, the
surrealist architect Bernard Roger published a "Plan for a Cinema at the
Bottom of a Lake," a statement describing the layout of a theater that
would float 30 meters below the surface of a lake that had formed in the
once-molten basin of an ancient crater. As Roger envisioned it, we would
enter through a passage placed conveniently in the middle of the lake
and reachable only by boat, then descend via a pair of glass elevators
to the auditorium where the walls would assume "the form of a broad
curve, without angles," and the ceiling would be built from an "extended
vault of [reinforced glass] through which you [could] see the lake
above." During the day, the auditorium would be "illuminated by the
light of the lake," but at night, film projections would take place on a
screen hung in front of a glass panel, and during intermissions, the
screen would disappear and we would "gaze on the nocturnal life of the
lake." According to Roger, the creation of such a cinema would be
crucial to rebuilding our world in a more life-affirming form – but what
films would we screen in this underwater cinema? As a way of celebrating
the Cable Car's newly submarine theater space – which now features a
cosmic-domestic-industrial triptych of aquatic dream scenes composed
through the fancy fin-work of local artist Buck Hastings – we here at
Magic Lantern have managed to net a set of experimental films and videos
emanating from the uncharted depths of underwater life in an attempt to
answer that question. On our screen, there will be a scientific
documentary of sea creatures with provocative narration, and an inquiry
into the "domestication" of such creatures within the space of the
aquarium; there will be a celebration of childhood imaginations of
maritime expeditions, and an attempt to glimpse, through the work of
animation, the pre-imaginary relations of a newly water born infant;
there will be a patient meditation on the rhythms of piscine bodies, and
a playful metaphor for the drowning of unsanctioned eroticisms generally
suffered while at land; there will be a cinematic activation of water
cooled into a solid state, but there will also be a reminder of the
greasy, deep-sea catastrophe that continues to lurk and murk atop the
waves, along the shores, and within the currents and jet streams that
swim behind the glass panel behind the screen in our cinema at the
bottom of a lake. FEATURING: Joyce Wieland, "Sailboat" (1967); Jean
Painlevé, "The Love Life of the Octopus" (1967); Pawel Wojtasik, "The
Aquarium" (2004); Barbara Hammer, "Pearl Diver" (1984); J.J. Murphy,
"Ice" (1972); Colleen Doyle, "Waterbirth" (2005); Will Hindle,
"Watersmith" (1969); M.G. MacPherson and Jean Michelson, "Oil – A
Symphony in Motion" (1930-33). TRT: 95 min **Magic Lantern in graciously

Chicago, Illinois: Conversations at the Edge
http://www.saic.edu/cateblog
6pm, Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State St
ROSA MENKMAN: GLITCHED
Every technology possesses its own inherent accidents. Rosa Menkman is a
Dutch artist and theorist whose focus is on visual artifacts created by
accidents in digital media specifically. She describes these as "the
uncanny, brutal structures that come to the surface during a break of
the flow within a technology; they are the primal data-screams of the
machine." Working at the experimental junction of glitch, noise, and new
media art, Menkman creates glitch work and writes texts about codecs,
interpolation, and compression going awry. This evening, Menkman will
introduce a selection of videos followed by a real-time performance.
Rest assured, the equipment is working, though it may not look like it
is. This presentation coincides with GLI.TC/H, an international noise
and new media conference taking place from September 29 to October 3 at
various locations around Chicago. Visit http://gli.tc/h. Rosa Menkman,
2006–10, Netherlands, multiple formats, ca. 75 min (plus discussion).
ROSA MENKMAN (1983, Arnhem, Netherlands) is the leading
international theory-practitioner of glitch art. She has written
extensively on digital artifacts and noise, including the Glitch Studies
Manifesto (2010). Her videos and real-time performances have been
included in festivals like Blip, Europe and U.S.; Haip, Ljubljana;
Cimatics, Brussels; Video Vortex, Amsterdam and Brussels; and Pasofest,
Ankara. She has collaborated on art projects together with Alexander
Galloway, little-scale, Govcom.org, Goto80 and the Internet art
collective, Jodi.org. Menkman received her Master's degree in 2009 and
is currently a PhD student at KHM Cologne, writing on the subject of
Artifacts.

PORTRAITS
An evening of multidimensional film, sound, and live performance,
featuring short films by Clipson. Clipson's largely improvised,
in-camera-edited Super-8mm films often employ multiple exposures,
dissolves, and macro imagery, bringing to light subconscious
preoccupations and unexpected visual forms. This evening's films feature
soundtracks by Bay Area musicians and sound artists including Tarentel,
Gregg Kowalsky, and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma; Clipson also presents new works
with live performances by Cantu-Ledesma and Portraits.

DOTS AND LINES: AN EVENING OF EXPERIMENTAL ANIMATION
This collection of animated shorts spans over fifty years of
experimentation with forms, sounds, motion, and time -- from simple
abstract gestures with pencil and paper to complex visual algorithms
with computational processes. Join Larry Cuba (computer animation
pioneer and director of Los Angeles' iota Center) and Noël Palazzo
(director of Barcelona's Punto y Raya Festival) as they present two
programs of classic abstract animations (on 16mm!) and recent digital

HELGA FANDERL
29 films in five movements. Germany/France, 2009; Super 8 to 16mm
blow-up. This selection and "montage" exemplify essential aspects of my
work. The individual films are created in communication with the subject
matter. They are in-camera edited, in one gesture, as it were.
Surprising what happens and feeling surprised at the same time, I try to
catch the moment and to find the right form to do so. The interplay of
different short films evokes all kinds of correspondences and contrasts.
The viewer experiences an intense filmic microcosm and easily loses the
normal notion of time and space while following the pace of the images.

RECEPTION- VIDEO ART FESTIVAL
Woodstock Video Art Festival! In this eclectic collection of video works
by local video artists, you will find a delightful sampling of current
trends in video art today. Here are some highlights of a few of the
artists in the show: Dick Crenson, whose extensive collection of footage
was begun in his retirement, charms us with snippets of local faces and
lives, captured with artful tenderness. Adie Russell's meticulously
lip-synched voice recording of Kerouac reveals how a simple idea can be
transformed into a compelling work. Dave Hebb's Wastewater Runoff Pipe
uses the juxtaposition of man-made elements and nature to create a
meditation on the seasons. Anna Lindemann, a biologist, composer,
animator and milliner rolled into one, captivates us with her clever
compilation of music, animation, and lecture, to tell stories about
evolutionary and developmental biology. These are just a few of talented
artists who will transform the 1400 sq ft space at Image Factory. As you
walk through the entrance, you will be enveloped in a comforting
soundscape emanating from several nooks composed of monitors of various
sizes and a variety of seating arrangements, ranging from a picnic table
to school desk chairs. Videos will be playing on endless loops, enabling
visitors to move from one set to another, and to come and leave as they
please. This festival was planned to run at the same time as the
Woodstock Film Festival, not to compete with or piggyback on WFF but so
that we can offer a complementary destination to the festival visitors.
Our works are very different from films shown at the festival in that
they follow no narratives, but focus on sheer pleasure of the medium
itself. Since there is no screening schedule, the festival visitors can
stop by, grab a cup of tea from the neighboring British grocery shop,
sink themselves in a couch, and feast on the audio-visual pleasure.
There is something for everyone—come see us and you will not be
disappointed! Artists in the Festival: Emily Bennison Dick Crenson Kyra
Garrigue Dave Hebb Anna Lindemann Jason Martin Nathan Meltz Wayne

MELLODRAMA: THE MELLOTRON MOVIE + WAKEMAN + WOBBLY +
The first of five in our Dead Media suite, this media-archaeological doc
by Dianna Dilworth explores the rising and falling fortunes of the
Mellotron—the first musical keyboard to "sample" the sounds of other
instruments—from its birth in a California garage in the '50s, through
its dominance on concert stages in the '70s, to its near-religious cult
of followers today. From the Beatles to Black Sabbath to Kanye West,
Mellodrama is a 50-year odyssey of musical invention, revolution,
betrayal and rediscovery, with testimonies from Brian Wilson (Beach
Boys), Mike Pinder (Moody Blues), Rod Argent (The Zombies), Ian McDonald
(King Crimson), Richard Chamberlin (Chamberlin Company), Tom Rhea
(Berklee School of Music), and Pea Hicks (Optiganally Yours). Opening is
Rick (Yes) Wakeman's half-hr. history of the instrument (visuals by
David Cox), plus commentary by SF's own expert on all things Sampled,
Jon "Wobbly" Leidecker. ALSO: James Brundage's Mellotron is in the house
for all to tickle…and an Optigan too!

SEA SCROLLS
He belonged to the far foreign departure of his vessel and was part of
it. Part of the speculum of fire on its prow, its symbol, whatever it
was, Part of the glass-like sides on which it glided over the salt
stained water, As he traveled alone like a man lured on by a syllable
without any meaning A syllable of which he felt with appointed sureness,
That it contained the meaning into which he wanted to enter, A meaning
which as he entered would shatter the boat and leave the oarsmen quiet…

LOUISE BOURGEOIS MEMORIAL PROGRAM
5:00 PM LOUISE BOURGEOIS MEMORIAL SCREENING Film Notes "As LB supported
Anthology Film Archives for years, Jonas Mekas, John Mhiripiri, and the
rest of the staff at Anthology have decided they'd like to pay tribute
to La Grande Dame. So during this Sunday, October 3, in echo of her
famous Sunday salons, we will program a few videos and films we made
together. "LA RIVIÈRE GENTILLE is based on one of the poems Louise wrote
in the fifties: a touching and remarkable remembrance of her youth in
parallel to her artistic activity in the last 10 years of her life.
"Along with this film, we will be screening a bunch of new short films:
MISS MUFFET, MIRROR, HE DISAPPEARED INTO A COMPLETE SILENCE, and MY WORK
IN PROGRESS 1, where we can see Jonas Mekas visiting Louise for the
first time on a Sunday afternoon with some other friends, in 1996. "In
lieu of further commentary, here is another poem, a gem from Louise's
extraordinary diaries, dated January 14, 1950." –Brigitte Cornand A
smile is such a funny thing It wrinkles up your face And when it is gone
you can never find Its secret hiding place But far more wonderful it is
To see what a smile can do You smile at me, he smiles at you And so one
smile makes two And since a smile can do so much By cheering hearts of
care Let's smile a lot when we are together Such smiles go everywhere.
