7pm, 24 Quincy street

 A LIVE PROJECTOR PERFORMANCE BY BRUCE MCCLURE
  "Each Flash Voided on a Buttress" Three projector performance. Each
  machine is threaded with loops of pattered emulsion consisting of one
  frame translucent base to five frames of emulsion. Two of the projectors
  are bi-packed using loops made from a documentary, "Birds of Northern
  Places." These loops consist of negative prints made from a single 75
  frame shot (3.1 seconds) and are nested inside the emulsion loops each
  pair threaded on a projector. Sound originates from the "windows" in the
  emulsion pattern that open onto the original sound track. The optical
  sound signals are processed by guitar effects pedals – metal distortion,
  two delays and graphic equalizer. Total program running time 60 min.

12pm to 7pm, BFI Southbank, Belvedere Road, South Bank, SE1 8XT

 STUDIO: THE FUTURIST
  THE FUTURIST (Emily Richardson / UK 2010 / 4 min) Illuminated by the
  light of the projector, the interior of a large, 1920s picture house is
  documented from a central position in the stalls. Emily Richardson's
  films record impressions of environments ranging from natural landscapes
  to industrial or urban spaces. The Futurist is the first of a series in
  homage to the cinema experience. Continuous Projection. Free Admission.

 READING BETWEEN THE LINES
  THE INDIAN BOUNDARY LINE (Thomas Comerford / USA 2010 / 42
  min)Comerford's essay maps a historical demarcation which originally
  divided Native American land from that which was ceded to white settlers
  in 1812. Modern life has obscured the traces of this history in the
  Rogers Park district of Chicago. Juxtaposing past with present, footage
  shot along this formerly disputed territory is matched with readings
  from official documents, fiction and quotidian accounts. FLAG MOUNTAIN
  (John Smith / UK 2010 / 8 min) A view across the city of Nicosia, over
  the Green Line border, to an unusual spectacle on a hillside. Lives
  continue in its shadow, amongst the contrasting flags, anthems and calls
  to prayer. WHY COLONEL BUNNY WAS KILLED (Miranda Pennell / UK 2010 / 28
  min) An exploration of turn of the century colonial life along the
  Durand Line, the frontier between Afghanistan and British India (now
  Pakistan). Remarkable period photographs are closely analysed as we
  listen to reports of exchanges between westerners, natives and mullahs
  written by missionary doctor TL Pennell.

 SUBLIME PASSAGES
  SHUTTER (Alexi Manis / Canada 2010 / 8 min) SHUTTER suggests the uncanny
  atmosphere and changing light on the day of a total eclipse. DRIFTER
  (Timoleon Wilkins / USA 1996-2010 / 24 min) Fragments of the filmmaker's
  life, home and travels, recorded over a 14-year period. "The glories of
  atmospheric light and colour, inward soul-drifting, and the literal
  sensation of drifting within and through each shot and cut." SHRIMP BOAT
  LOG (David Gatten / USA 2010 / 6 min) "300 shots, 29 frames each,
  alternating between a notebook listing the names of shrimp boats that
  frequent the mouth of the Edisto River and images of these same boats."
  BLUE MANTLE (Rebecca Meyers / USA 2010 / 35 min) Blending 19th century
  American literature with factual accounts, illustrations and music by
  Debussy and Wagner, this oblique portrait of a shipwrecked coastline
  conveys the vastness and majesty of the ocean. A song to the sea, and a
  commemoration of those who have risked their lives off the treacherous
  Massachusetts shore. TRAVELLING FIELDS (Inger Lise Hansen / Norway 2009
  / 9 min) In the third film of her 'inverted perspective' trilogy, Hansen
  turns her camera on the North West Russia, creating monumental and
  uncanny vistas from these barren wastelands.

 EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR PICTURE I CRY
  EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR PICTURE I CRY (Daniel Barrow / Canada 2008 / 60
  min) Daniel Barrow has developed an intimate mode of 'manual animation'
  using the antiquated technology of an overhead projector. From a
  position amongst the audience, he recites live narration while
  manipulating layers of transparencies in continuous motion. Accentuated
  by interference patterns and sleight-of-hand trickery, Barrow's
  hand-drawn images contrive an absorbing tale of comic book grotesques.
  EVERY TIME I SEE YOUR PICTURE I CRY is a bizarre confessional detailing
  the grand but hopeless scheme of an estranged garbage collector and
  failed art student. Unloved and rejected by society, the protagonist
  begins a universal art project in the form of a telephone directory of
  'profound and intimate insights' to chronicle the lives of those around
  him. As he snoops through the windows and waste bins of fellow citizens,
  his survey is rendered futile by a maniacal killer who follows in his
  wake, picking off subjects one by one. Invoking introspection, pathos
  and dark humour, this award winning performance piece is accompanied by
  an unassuming Beach Boys-inflected score recorded by Amy Linton of The
  Aislers Set.

 HIT THE ROAD
  MAKE IT NEW JOHN (Duncan Campbell / UK 2009 / 50 min) The story of the
  DeLorean car and its notorious entrepreneur's Northern Ireland venture,
  assembled from found and reconstructed footage. During a momentous
  period in the province's history, the manufacture of this futuristic
  vehicle was beset by its own troubles – governmental pacts, an
  inexperienced workforce and allegations of misconduct. This insightful
  film, with its Pinteresque finale concerning the plight of the workers,
  raises questions on documentary form and the representation of
  historical events. GET OUT OF THE CAR (Thom Andersen / USA 2010 / 34
  min) Andersen's latest homage to Los Angeles takes time to stop and
  consider the temporary architecture of roadside billboards, community
  murals and hand-painted signs. A movie about the ephemeral sights of the
  city, with a rocking soundtrack of local music and the confused
  interjections of passers-by.

 BETWEEN DISPLACEMENT AND NOSTALGIA: CONFLICTED MEMORIES OF CUBA
  Tomás Gutiérrez Alea: Memorias del subdesarrollo (Memories of
  Underdevelopment), Cuba, 1968, 97 min., 35mm. Followed by a discussion
  with Cuban novelist Edmundo Desnoes. And by Miguel Coyula: Memorias del
  desarrollo (Memories of Overdevelopment), USA/Cuba, 2010, 113 min.,
  HDCAM One of the first international successes of Third Cinema, Tomás
  Gutiérrez Alea's classic film was banned in the United States for five
  years, a victim of the embargo on post-revolutionary Cuba. Memories of
  Underdevelopment imaginatively transposes Edmundo Desnoes' eponymous
  stream-of-consciousness novel into a modernist cinematic space. Desnoes'
  ambivalence toward the new regime grew, and in 1979 he defected to the
  United States, where he wrote Memories of Overdevelopment, a companion
  piece to his earlier work. His writings in turn inspired young Cuban
  filmmaker Miguel Coyula, who uses the digital-media tools of his
  generation to comment on the issues that have fascinated Desnoes: the
  hunger to embrace a revolutionary cause versus political
  disillusionment, feeling displaced in one's own country and in permanent
  exile in the country of one's choice, the protracted conflict between
  underdevelopment and overdevelopment, and, last but not least, acerbic
  sexual politics. Desnoes will share his point of view on both films,
  creating a dialogue between Gutiérrez Alea's masterpiece and Coyula's
  multilayered visual experiment. In person: Edmundo Desnoes and Miguel
  Coyula/ Jack H. Skirball Series $15 [students $12, CalArts $8] Includes
  both screenings and discussion

  Painter, performance artist & writer Marta Hoskins, in town from Paris,
  joins us this Saturday 10/23 at MICROSCOPE Gallery for an evening of
  short videos including the first gallery screening of Butterfly
  Mountain, a video performed and co-directed by Hoskins and french
  director Antoine Barraud as well as videos by underground film-makers

  took part in the 'Cinema of Transgression' experience, along side Nick
  Zedd, Kembra Pfahler, Bradley Eros and Richard Kern, for whom she
  performed in the 1987?s Submit to Me Now. Butterfly Mountain is
  based on the documentation of the performance she wrote and realised in

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ZVENIGORA
  by Alexandr Dovzhenko No English intertitles; English synopsis
  available, 1928, 96 minutes, 35mm Dovzhenko's second film, attacked by
  Soviet critics for being so beautifully rendered as to actually lessen
  its political impact, remains today a "cinematic poem" as the director
  named it. Dovzhenko wrote: "I did not so much make the picture as sing
  it out like a songbird." Episodic, folkloric, and allegorical, it is a
  mythic search for hidden treasure by two brothers.

 TOM JARMUSCH PROGRAM
  PROGRAM 2: SHORTS UNTITLED (4 minutes, 16mm) DREAM (1995/2004, 4
  minutes, Super8-to-16mm) Scratches and splices partially obscure this
  quizzical tale about a guy buying a gun. FRIENDS (1994, 30 minutes,
  video) "The culmination of ten years of bohemian austerity, aesthetic
  discipline and bitter life experience. … Jarmusch creates an air of
  extreme psychological distance and discontinuity. His Lower East Side
  becomes a profoundly alienated, schizophrenic place dominated by random,
  seemingly purposeless encounters in which emotional commitment has all
  the permanence of a handshake and the 'friends' of the title prove
  anything but. … [A]rguably a minor masterwork of comedy of the
  grotesque." – Bill Raden, CAPTURED ALFREDO (2000, 8 minutes,
  16mm-to-video) A truly lovely, eye-opening silent portrait of 300-pound
  artist Alfredo Martinez firing guns and playing video games during his
  1999-2000 project QUIET. DOCUMENT MEMORY, FOR MY FRIEND BILL RICE (2006,
  12 minutes, video) An all-too-brief document of departed East Village
  icon, painter, and actor Bill Rice. Plus, expect a few additional,
  surprise shorts…

 SUPRAMOLECULAR PAVILION- CHEMICAL REACTIONS
  This video contains a collection of superstructures of molecular nature
  created experimentally by Myriam Solar in the water. The sample reflects
  aspects of its behavior characterized by the aggregation of molecules in
  small and great surfaces and by the design of molecular sets and
  structures of high selectivity. The complexity art exhibits in this
  video its supramolecular dimension connected with the strange chemical
  of the water that creates like it makes the own nature through of
  complex processes and is also a new visual language for the contemporary
  art in the intersection with the nature and other fields of the
  knowledge like the one of molecular science. The video encloses joined
  to the fractal and supramolecular images, animation and electroacoustic
  music created by the artist. http://www.everyoneweb.es/myriamsolar

 THREE FILMS BY NATHANIEL DORSKY
  Nathaniel Dorsky finds moments of profound beauty among the shadows,
  reflections and luminosity of city life and the natural world. His open
  form of filmmaking creates a space for the viewer's contemplation amidst
  the subtle and astonishing images which radiate from the screen. This
  programme presents two new films together with a recent preservation of
  a formative early work. COMPLINE (Nathaniel Dorsky / USA 2009 / 19 min)
  "COMPLINE is a night devotion or prayer, the last of the canonical
  hours, the final act in a cycle. It is the last film I will be able to
  shoot in Kodachrome; a loving duet with and a fond farewell to this
  noble emulsion." AUBADE (Nathaniel Dorsky / USA 2010 / 12 min ("An
  aubade is a morning song or poem evoking the first rays of the sun at
  daybreak. In some sense, it is a new beginning for me." HOURS FOR JEROME
  (Nathaniel Dorsky / USA 1966-70/1982 / 45 min) (restoration print) "An
  arrangement of images, energies, and illuminations from daily life.
  These fragments of light revolve around the four seasons and are very
  much a part of the youthful energy and poignant joy of my mid-20s. In
  medieval European Catholicism, a 'Book of Hours' was a series of prayers
  presented eight times every 24 hours. Each 'hour' had its own qualities,
  from pre-dawn till very late at night, and these qualities also changed
  through the progressing seasons of the year." HOURS FOR JEROME has been
  preserved by Pacific Film Archive with support from the National Film
  Preservation Foundation.

 LEWIS KLAHR PRESENTS PROLIX SATORI
  Collage artist Lewis Klahr introduces PROLIX SATORI, an ongoing series
  which appropriates images from comics, magazines and catalogues. A
  filmmaker since the 1980s, his signature style is saturated in
  mid-century Americana but addresses universal experience and is
  resolutely contemporary. Retaining distinctive handcrafted qualities
  across a recent shift to digital, Klahr choreographs comic book
  characters in fractured landscapes of patterns, textures and
  architectural details. Going beyond abstraction and nostalgic cliché, he
  builds high melodrama from modest means, conjuring elliptical narratives
  that evoke complex moods and emotions. Within PROLIX SATORI, a new
  project of 'couplets' elicits different atmospheres through repetitions
  of soundtracks or imagery. An emotive mix of classical, easy listening
  and iconic pop music carries viewers through tales of lost love and
  wistful reverie. This screening is a chance to be immersed in the
  idiosyncratic world of a widely acclaimed artist making his first UK
  appearance. FALSE AGING (Lewis Klahr / USA 2008 / 15 min) NIMBUS SMILE

 BREAK ON THROUGH
  GHOST ALGEBRA (Janie Geiser / USA 2009 / 8 min) "Under erratic skies, a
  solitary figure navigates a landscape of constructed nature and broken
  bones. She peers through a decaying aperture, waiting and watching: the
  fragility of the body is exposed for what it is: ephemeral, liquid, a
  battlefield of nervous dreams." STILL RAINING, STILL DREAMING (Phil
  Solomon / USA 2009 / 15 min) Videogaming was never meant to be this way:
  uncanny and elegiac in tone, poignant and considered in practice. By
  betraying the violent subtext of his source material, Solomon has found
  genuine poetry in the desolate spaces of digitally constructed worlds.
  SO SURE OF NOWHERE BUYING TIMES TO COME (David Gatten / USA 2010 / 9
  min) The windows of a small antique store in the Rocky Mountains
  displays carefully arranged curiosities – specific objects each with
  their attendant histories. Visible traces of past uses, previous lives,
  secrets and significance. FORMS ARE NOT SELF-SUBSISTENT SUBSTANCES
  (Samantha Rebello / UK 2010 / 22 min) Words, concepts, things.
  Referencing Aristotle and illuminated manuscripts, Rebello asks 'What is
  substance?' Romanesque stone carvings are measured against latter-day
  beasts, seeking parity between medieval perception and a present-day
  embodiment. FACTS TOLD AT RETAIL (AFTER HENRY JAMES) (Erin Espelie / USA
  2010 / 9 min) "The author of The Golden Bowl acts as the confessed
  agent, and the glass through which every image is reflected or filtered
  takes on a kind of consciousness." COSMIC ALCHEMY (Lawrence Jordan / USA
  2010 / 24 min) A voyage in the celestial realm, out beyond
  consciousness, steered by a master of mystical transformation. Wondrous
  visions are charted on star maps from the Harmonia Macrocosmica to a
  spellbinding drone track by John Davis.

 PEOPLE GOING NOWHERE
  DE MOUVEMENT (Richard Kerr / Canada 2009 / 7 min) Kerr's mind-bending
  trip through the wipes and dissolves of old feature films is an
  exhilarating demonstration of the power of cinema. MAY TOMORROW SHINE
  THE BRIGHTEST OF ALL YOUR MANY DAYS AS IT WILL BE YOUR LAST (Ben Rivers
  & Paul Harnden / UK 2009 / 13 min) Female Japanese cadets patrol the
  woods and countryside where old men channel Futurist poets. Adjacent
  yes, but simultaneous? BRUNE RENAULT (Neil Beloufa / France 2009 / 17
  min) An abandoned car park is no substitute for the open road. Four
  characters find themselves in a looped fiction, replete with cliches,
  acting out cycles of heightened emotions. Like all teenagers, they think
  the world revolves around them – and in this film it almost does. VOT
  (Victor Alimpiev / Russia 2010 / 5 min) As if suspended in limbo, or
  perhaps deep in rehearsal, five performers exchange glances, gestures
  and utter strange sounds. KINDLESS VILLAIN (Janie Geiser / USA 2010 / 4
  min) Two boys seem trapped inside their own imaginations, dreaming of
  naval battles and Egyptian exotica. COMING ATTRACTIONS (Peter
  Tscherkassky / Austria 2010 / 24 min) With humour and materialist
  dynamics, Tscherkassky explores the direct relationship between actor,
  camera and audience. A meditation on the 'cinema of attractions';
  exploiting leftovers from the commercial industry to collide the
  intersecting forms of early film and the avant-garde.

 HERE: A SURVEY OF FILMS AND VIDEOS BY VINCENT GRENIER
  Vincent Grenier is a pioneering North American film-and-video artist who
  has left his distinctive mark on the San Francisco, Montreal and New
  York avant-gardes. Grenier's work evinces a keen photographic eye and a
  subtle sense of how images combine to create feeling. With influences as
  disparate as Eastern painting, Dryer's Jeanne d'Arc and Ernie Gehr,
  Grenier has charged his cinema with an electric self-reflexivity whose
  energy does not preclude moments of absolute clarity and even meditative
  stillness. The evening will range widely in terms of technique, form and
  format, but each work achieves a unique poetry that can be at once
  tough, tenuous and tender.

  FIlms by Peggy Ahwesh, eteam, Kevin Jerome Everson, Stanya Kahn, Andrew
  Lampert, and Dani Leventhal http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=2685
  Migrating Forms will present two programs of jury selections from the
  2010 festival on October 25th. There are no cash prizes or predetermined
  awards at Migrating Forms. Instead, a panel of artists or curators
  devises written distinctions according to whatever criteria they feel
  most relevant to the program as a whole, indicative of unique
  achievement, and/or beneficial to the filmmakers. The 2010 jury was
  comprised of Rebecca Cleman, Ben Coonley and Thomas Zummer. Each program
  will be introduced by a member of the jury and the shorts program will
  be followed by a Q & A. Tickets on sale now:
  http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=2685 6:50pm Erie (2010, 81 min) dir.
  Kevin Jerome Everson Best Long Form Work "Everson rejects the role of
  cultural explainer in his work, opting instead to place the burden of
  understanding on the audience and its own labor. In this way, he has
  carved a place for himself outside both the typical expectations of
  documentary and the conventions of representational fiction, attempting
  to work from the materials of the worlds he encounters to create
  something else." —Ed Halter, Artforum Erie consists of a series of
  single take shots in and around communities near Lake Erie. The scenes
  relate to a Black migration in the USA, contemporary conditions, folks
  concentrating on the task at hand, theater and famous art objects. The
  subject matter is the gestures or tasks caused by certain conditions in
  the lives of working class African Americans and other people of African
  descent. The conditions are usually physical, social-economic
  circumstances or weather. Instead of standard realism I favor a strategy
  that abstracts everyday actions and statements into theatrical gestures,
  in which archival footage is re-edited or re-staged, real people perform
  fictional scenarios based on their own lives and historical observations
  intermesh with contemporary narratives. The films suggest the
  relentlessness of everyday life—along with its beauty—but also present
  oblique metaphors for art-making. —Kevin Jerome Everson 9:30pm Shorts
  Program Jury selected shorts Bethlehem (2009, 8 min) Dir. Peggy Ahwesh
  Working through my archive of accumulated video footage, I pretended it
  was found footage from anonymous sources. What began as a tribute to
  Bruce Conner of the period of Valse Triste and Take the 5:10 to
  Dreamland, with their deliberate pace and bittersweet memory of home,
  ended as a dedication to my father as I wound my way through miscellany
  with distance and another aim. —Peggy Ahwesh Prim Limit (2009, 32 min)
  Dir. eteam If second lives have grown into the landscape of social
  network space and avatars engage a full range of human emotions and
  experience, it follows that they would eventually encounter existential
  questions. Eteam's Prim Limit traces this fascinating unexpected
  trajectory. A plot of land is purchased in the online 3-D Second Life
  network and a simple question is asked: Where do discarded 3D objects go
  and can we build a dumpster to accommodate them? To find out eteam set
  aside a year to let this virtual land use problem unfold and what is
  captured in Prim Limit is the lived experience of avatars managing and
  recording this dumpster. This is a very contemporary Existentialist tale
  that is more about Wasteland than Waste, and all the very human emotions
  this terminal condition evokes. —Will Pappenheimer It's Cool, I'm Good
  (2010, 35 min) Dir. Stanya Kahn In It's Cool, I'm Good, Kahn resumes her
  familiar place in front of the camera, this time bandaged and injured, a
  protagonist who is at once selfless and narcissistic, verbose and
  elusive, vulnerable and manipulative. Paralleling the way in which jokes
  compress and expand meaning, Kahn organizes the narratives along the
  lines of a psycho-emotional unpacking, creating small arcs in place of
  grand ones. Caroline Golum As (2010, 9 min) Dir. Andrew Lampert Caroline
  Golum auditions to play the filmmaker's great great great great great
  aunt in late 1700s Siberia. 54 Days This Winter 36 Days This Spring For
  18 Minutes (2009, 16 min) Dir. Dani Leventhal Dani gathered material for
  9 minutes each day, then condensed it down to this 16 minute video
  montage of impressions which has a cumulative effect, accessed and read
  differently depending on the mental connections the viewer makes. It is
  presented as short scenes: documentation of the quotidian, on-camera
  monologues, and performative or expressive shots that are constructed.
  The material, while mostly generated as a diary, is heterogeneous enough
  to include just about any kind of footage. —Video Data Bank

 LEWIS KLAHR WORKSHOP: NARRATIVE COLLAGE
  Drawing on his considerable experience as an artist, Lewis Klahr will
  lead a masterclass on how characters, stories and atmospheres can be
  developed with minimal resources. Following a participatory collage
  exercise using copies of the day's newspapers, Klahr will illustrate his
  creative process through a detailed analysis of his film PONY GLASS
  (1998), a coming of age drama in which Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen
  undergoes a sexual identity crisis of epic proportions. The day will
  culminate in an exclusive preview of brand new works. Declared 'the
  reigning proponent of cut and paste' by critic J. Hoberman, Lewis Klahr
  has shown his films and digital at most major festivals and in three
  Whitney Biennials. He teaches directing and screenwriting at CalArts,
  has created effects and sequences for commercials and TV, and co-rewrote
  THE MOTHMAN PROPHESIES (2002). The workshop is a unique opportunity to
  explore collage, animation processes and narrative construction with a
  leading practitioner. Prior experience of filmmaking is not required.
  Limited to 25 participants. Please book early to avoid disappointment.

 READING BETWEEN THE LINES
  THE INDIAN BOUNDARY LINE (Thomas Comerford / USA 2010 / 42 min)
  Comerford's essay maps a historical demarcation which originally divided
  Native American land from that which was ceded to white settlers in
  1812. Modern life has obscured the traces of this history in the Rogers
  Park district of Chicago. Juxtaposing past with present, footage shot
  along this formerly disputed territory is matched with readings from
  official documents, fiction and quotidian accounts. FLAG MOUNTAIN (John
  Smith / UK 2010 / 8 min) A view across the city of Nicosia, over the
  Green Line border, to an unusual spectacle on a hillside. Lives continue
  in its shadow, amongst the contrasting flags, anthems and calls to
  prayer. WHY COLONEL BUNNY WAS KILLED (Miranda Pennell / UK 2010 / 28
  min) An exploration of turn of the century colonial life along the
  Durand Line, the frontier between Afghanistan and British India (now
  Pakistan). Remarkable period photographs are closely analysed as we
  listen to reports of exchanges between westerners, natives and mullahs
  written by missionary doctor TL Pennell.

  aspirational 1940s through the free-loving 1970s, Klahr's cut-out
  animations draw us into a dreamlike world of intrigue, anxiety and lust.
  A surreal and atmospheric epic propelled by an evocative soundtrack

 REVELATIONS OF THE EVERYDAY: FILMS AND VIDEOS BY VINCENT GRENIER
  Vincent Grenier, a native of Québec City, Canada, has lived in New York
  City and Ithaca, New York, since the 1970s and over the past four
  decades has produced one of the most significant bodies of experimental
  films and videos of his generation. "My works directly confront the
  ideas of spatiality and temporality as a continuum and unsettle the
  notion of a universal human experience," Grenier writes. "These films
  and videos move towards fracturing space and time in order to release
  how the everyday, and the specific, hold within them ineffable,
  untranslatable, revelations of light, color, form, and composition." His
  work has been shown at The Museum of Modern Art, New York Film Festival,
  the Whitney Museum, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and Media
  City Film Festival, Ontario. His films are included in the Art Gallery
  of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, The Donnell Library Center,
  and other institutions in Canada and the United States. Program includes
  Tabula Rasa, Here, Surface Tension #2, North Southernly, While Revolved,
  Armoire, Burning Bush, and others. In person: Vincent Grenier / Jack H.

 INTERNATIONAL EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA EXPOSITION - 2010
  Join us at The Union Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the 2010
  edition of TIE, The International Experimental Cinema Exposition on
  Tuesday, October 26 with an all-new, original program highlighting the
  work of internationally renowned artists' experimental films in 35mm,
  16mm and Single-8mm cinema projection. (35mm: Simplex 35mm projector
  head, SuperLumex Lamphouse w. 2k xenon bulb. 16mm: Eastman 25 model
  (muti-speed modified), SuperLumex Lamphouse w. 1600 xenon bulb. Super-8:
  Elmo GS-1200.) In an age with ever expanding electronic technologies for
  capturing moving images, the illusion of movement generated through
  traditional film remains a unique experience that is unmatched by more
  contemporary methods of moving image making. Ground-breaking work on
  original celluloid-based film continues its invigorating revival around
  the world, ceaselessly increasing in ubiquity with each passing year.
  The TIE programs draw attention to these intriguing works, bringing
  together internationally celebrated talents from different generations
  of filmmakers. TIE has held exhibitions and festivals on an
  intercontinental level, with venues in the United States, Canada,
  Argentina, Austria and Uruguay, exposing international audiences to
  avant-garde films and pioneering filmmakers of both historic and
  contemporary contexts. TIE's October 26 program was curated specifically
  for the Union Theatre's premier facility, presenting viewers with an
  exclusive opportunity to observe this once in a lifetime event. The
  original lineup includes captivating experimental films from several
  internationally acclaimed artists, each investigating complex themes and
  ideas through their innovative and poetic work. Anticipation surrounding
  the event is palpably enthusiastic, as most of the films being screened
  are regional premiers with a few world and North American premieres.
  Colorado native, Timoleon Wilkins' film Drifter uses fragments of his
  own life, recorded over a 14 year period, to take viewers on a voyage
  through each shot, cut and sensation of this atmospheric piece. Austrian
  filmmaker, Peter Tscherkassky, utilizes found footage and an array of
  techniques such as solarization, multiple exposures and optical printing
  in Coming Attractions. Claudio Caldini's Argentinean film, Lux Taal,
  examines the four seasons and climate change in a small town west of
  Buenos Aires. San Francisco filmmaker, Nathaniel Dorsky, marks his first
  attempt to shoot in color negative with the visual poetry of one of his
  latest projects titled Aubade. Malic Amalya's Drifting challenges
  viewers' understanding of perception through exposing photographic
  anomalies of film, while a live score from musician, Isaac Sherman,
  accompanies the visuals. In addition, Phil Solomon's 1983 classic,
  What's Out Tonight is Lost, is beautifully re-presented, allowing
  audiences to re-experience this powerful inquiry of human emotion or
  discover it for the first time. The American Film Academy has preserved
  and restored Solomon's original, with a stunning new 16mm print. With
  such an illustrious assemblage of avant-garde artists and films, TIE's
  October 26 program will undoubtedly dazzle viewers and provide insight
  into the enlightening experience that is experimental cinema.
  Christopher May is the founder and primary curator behind TIE, The
  International Experimental Cinema Exposition. May has organized
  international conferences and festivals and has curated film programs
  for cultural institutions, museums, colleges and film societies around
  the world. May's programming is recognized for its unique filmic
  quality, challenging philosophical nature and international scope.

 HIT THE ROAD
  MAKE IT NEW JOHN (Duncan Campbell / UK 2009 / 50 min) The story of the
  DeLorean car and its notorious entrepreneur's Northern Ireland venture,
  assembled from found and reconstructed footage. During a momentous
  period in the province's history, the manufacture of this futuristic
  vehicle was beset by its own troubles – governmental pacts, an
  inexperienced workforce and allegations of misconduct. This insightful
  film, with its Pinteresque finale concerning the plight of the workers,
  raises questions on documentary form and the representation of
  historical events. GET OUT OF THE CAR (Thom Andersen / USA 2010 / 34
  min) Andersen's latest homage to Los Angeles takes time to stop and
  consider the temporary architecture of roadside billboards, community
  murals and hand-painted signs. A movie about the ephemeral sights of the
  city, with a rocking soundtrack of local music and the confused
  interjections of passers-by.

  experimental works by Vanessa Renwick, Jon Behrens, Karl Lind, Julie
  Perini, Carl Diehl, Ben Popp, and others. Grand Detour founding member
  Dustin Zemel will use the tour to network with similar arts
  organizations and microcinemas in Glasgow, London and Berlin, discussing
  the future and pertinence of creative digital media exchanges in the
  realm of experimental film and video art. As much as Grand Detour is
  passionate about making connections in Portland, we are equally invested
  in bringing together the international media arts community. Its our
  goal to make it that much easier for artists and organizations to find
  each other and seek out new audiences for screenings and discourse.

  MYTHIC REALITIES: Ann Deborah Levy and Lili White. Anthology Film
  Archives, 2nd Street at Second Avenue, Tuesday, October 26th, 7:00pm. A
  New York Women in Film and Television (NYWIFT) screening. The films and
  videos of these two artists consider myths that cut across world
  cultures and history as they are juxtaposed against our contemporary
  consciousness. Levy focuses on how the human mind twists reality in
  perception, memory, imagination, and creation, revealing the film as
  product of these distortions. White's videos explore relationships of
  power and repression throughout history. Both artists make richly visual
  films, Levy through lush images captured on 16mm film, White through
  extensive manipulation of the video image during the editing process. To

 DAVID GATTEN’S JOURNAL AND REMARKS
  JOURNAL AND REMARKS (David Gatten / USA 2009 / 15 min) plus extended
  discussion. David Gatten, one of the most accomplished young film
  artists to emerge in recent years, returns to London to discuss a visit
  to the Galapagos Islands and screen the film he photographed there. The
  journey was an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the naturalist
  Charles Darwin, whose expedition in the 1830s shaped the theory of
  evolution. The islands off the west coast of Ecuador have changed little
  since that time and still sustain a unique array of endemic species. In
  the absence of predatory mammals, native animals do not fear humans,
  enabling Gatten to shoot in close proximity to such exotic creatures as
  giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies. 'The sights I was able to see –
  and the images I was able to capture – are remarkably similar to the
  things Darwin saw.' Shuttling between these observations and texts from
  an early edition of Voyage of the Beagle, the film is structured in
  accordance with Leonardo's proposal to divide the hour into 3000 equal
  measures. Along with SHRIMP BOAT LOG (also showing in the Festival), it
  forms part of a forthcoming cycle titled CONTINUOUS QUANTITIES. This is
  a free event presented as part of Nature Live, in association with the
  Natural History Museum. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment.

 REMEMBERING DENNIS HOPPER: CURTIS HARRINGTON’S NIGHT TIDE
  co-presented with Cosmic Hex in association with The Vortex Room
  [members: $5 / non-members: $10] ----- Curtis Harrington (1926–2007)
  stands as an underappreciated figure in the history of West Coast
  avant-garde filmmaking. Deeply inspired by the surrealistic ethos of
  compatriot Maya Deren, Harrington's early poetic films works, which
  recall the work of his occasional collaborator Kenneth Anger, are
  studies of fantasy and subtle atmospheres, glimpses into fantastical
  realms equally glamorous and occult. This belated memorial screening to
  this undersung auteur includes a very rare screening of his 1955 short
  The Wormwood Star (featuring Marjorie Cameron) and his first feature
  film, the equally rare, Night Tide (1961), featuring the late great
  Dennis Hopper (1936-2010) in his first leading role. Inspired largely by
  the atmospheric approach to horror pioneered by Val Lewton and James
  Whale, Night Tide is a somnambulistic dream film of sailors and sirens,
  set on the seaside boardwalks of Southern California. Prints Courtesy of
  Academy Film Archive. (Steve Polta)

 UNDER THE CEMENT, SEDIMENT: RECENT VIDEO IN AND AROUND CHINA
  Curator Pablo de Ocampo in person! In Yang Zhenzhong's 2003 video
  Spring Story, a group of 1,500 employees at a Siemens factory recite an
  oft-cited line from a 1992 Deng Xiaoping speech: "A planned economy is
  not equivalent to socialism, because there is planning under capitalism
  too; a market economy is not capitalism, because there are markets under
  socialism too." This speech is now seen as a milestone in the creation
  of China's new hybrid economy, which embraces both socialist and free
  enterprise forces. Curated and introduced by Pablo de Ocampo, Artistic
  Director of the Images Festival in Toronto, the works in this program
  examine the country's recent political and economic transformations
  through its urban and industrial landscape. Additional pieces include
  Chen Chieh-Jen's haunting Factory (2003), shot in an abandoned textile
  factory with its former employees re-enacting their work amidst the
  ruins; Oliver Husain's Swivel (2005), which consists of a continuous
  panning shot of a hyper developed and glossy Shanghai; and Zhao Liang's
  City Scene (2005), which captures street life in Beijing in a series of
  short vignettes. Multiple artists, 2003-05, Canada/China/Germany/Taiwan,
  multiple formats, ca. 90 min. PABLO DE OCAMPO (1976, Phoenix, AZ)
  lives in Toronto, Canada, where he is the Artistic Director of the
  Images Festival, Canada's largest platform for the exhibition of
  experimental and innovative film and video art practice. Prior to his
  post at Images, de Ocampo resided in Portland, Oregon, where co-founded
  the experimental film screening series Cinema Project and was the
  Executive Director of the Independent Publishing Resource Center.

 CINEMATONS AND OTHER WORKS BY GéRARD COURANT
  In exhibition from October 28th to November 14th OPENING RECEPTION ON
  THURSDAY OCTOBER 28TH 6 – 9 PM Microscope Gallery is honored to exhibit
  for the first time in the U.S., and in its entirety, the epic
  CINEMATONS, a 154-hour, more than 30-year project by French film-maker
  and cinephile Gérard Courant /// An adventure begun in 1978 and running
  through October of this year, CINEMATONS is the longest film in history
  and features 4-minute silent portraits of the artists, directors and
  others who devote themselves to the art of cinema from renowned
  Hollywood director's to the avant-garde including: Jean-Luc Godard,
  Sergueï Paradjanov, Wim Wenders, Félix Guattari,Terry Gilliam, Samuel
  Fuller, Joseph Losey, Jonas Mekas, Peter Kubelka, Pedro Costa, John
  Giorno, Derek Jarman, Philippe Garrel, Lou Castel, Jean-Marie Straub,
  Danièle Huillet, Olivier Assayas, Ben Vautier, Robert Kramer, Michael
  Snow, Mike Kuchar, Jean-Jacques Lebel, Manoel De Oliveira, Raul Rouiz,
  Marco Bellocchio, Mario Monicelli, Ken Loach, Joseph Morder, Boris
  Lehman, Dominique Noguez, Jackie Raynal, Paul Sharits. /// A propos,
  eminent philosopher Michel Foucault wrote: "It would be a mistake to
  think that Cinématon has to do with sadism or fetishism. There is no
  sadistic or masochist kind of link between the people that are filmed
  and the person that films them. It's rather a sort of
  suffering-pleasure. Pleasure to be in front of the camera. Suffering
  because you have to stay there. You could even argue that this suffering
  and this pleasure are inseparable, that they are not two qualities that
  complete each other but rather one and the same quality. This is of
  course wanted by those who agree to submit to the rules of Cinématon.
  The simple fact of agreeing to this game implies a certain will to chain
  yourself to the camera and, when the film is being shot, a desire to
  liberate yourself, to go, to abandon everything and say: Stop!". /// A
  multi award-winning project, shot mostly in Super8 and continued later
  on in video, CINEMATONS is more than the longest film of the human
  history, it is the revolutionary, silent song of the ones who live for
  their passions. /// We will extend our hours to project the entire work
  over 17 consecutive days, 9 hours a day from October 28 to November 14.
  Other works by Courant will also be on display. /// The gallery is
  located on a dead end street at the intersection of Myrtle and
  Willoughby Avenues, 1 block East and the first left after Bushwick Ave.

 PERSONAL CINEMA SERIES - PS3* PEDRO SANCHEZ3
  Pedro Sanchez3, born in Madrid, Spain and based in New York City, uses a
  range of media to produce expressive, penetrating art works and films to
  document his life's journey between Tokyo, New York, and Madrid. As
  someone grounded in an international language, his work contains an
  array of diverse approaches to the film medium. Over two decades, he has
  created a series of large scale site-specific installations informed by
  an early engagement with sculpture, painting, short films, and video
  art.----"The illogical and abrupt or ritualistic actions are not symbols
  that require interpretation or conclusion. They are merely symptoms of
  persistently questioned inconclusiveness, that is why the experience of
  these films means having to take a mental journey that yields no
  answer."- PS3*----PROGRAM - GOVERNOR'S ISLAND (12 min. 2010), ONI (7.5

  taught his son to respect the power of vernacular music. As a Civil War
  band leader he understood how sentimental tunes such as Stephen Foster
  's songs, marches and bugle calls were woven into the experience of war
  and the memories of soldiers. Charles Ives came to associate everyday
  music with profound emotions and spiritual aspirations. One of his
  father's most resonant pieces of wisdom came when he said of a
  stonemason's off-key hymn singing: "Look into his face and hear the
  music of the ages. Don't pay too much attention to the sounds--for if
  you do, you may miss the music. You won't get a wild, heroic ride to
  heaven on pretty little sounds." - Jan Swafford... More info &

 WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS + GODZILLA FANTASIA +
  Editor of the national J-Pop mag Otaku, Patrick Macias and August Ragone
  respond to the Halloween call with a titanic tribute to the storied
  director of the original Godzilla, Ishiro Honda. With more than a nod
  towards the recently released Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men: The
  Fantastic Cinema of Ishiro Honda, the provocative pair of kaiju fanboys
  contextualize Honda's prolific career, which saw the production of
  Rodan, Mothra, The Mysterians, Monster Zero, Destroy All Monsters,
  Terror of Mechagodzilla, Atragon, and Battle in Outer Space (the latter
  two excerpted here). Starring Russ Tamblyn, the 16mm Gargantuas is
  Honda's 1966 effort, in which two hairy humanoids spawned from
  Frankenstein's monster (!) wreak havoc on—where else?—Tokyo. Free hot
  sake! Doors open at 7:30 for cinematic trick-or-treats; come in cosplay!
