New York, New York: Millennium Film Workshop
http://www.millenniumfilm.org/
8pm - Admission $8/$6 members, 66 East 4th Street

 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
  min. 2005), CONEY ISLAND (10 min. 2010), ALICE ENCOUNTER (5 min. 2008),
  ENTERTAINMENT (14 min. 2004).

  ventures across the East River to our Bushwick gallery next Saturday

  Including fragments and sketches of point n shoot field recording
  research gathered on my zerojeanli youtube channel, with other discreet
  short works over the years motivated by a tense and lively engagement
  with music and sound. J L All video/audio program by Jeanne Liotta.
  PROGRAM: WHAT MAKES DAY AND NIGHT 1998, 16mm, 9', sound This 1940's
  artifact is coupled with music by Nino Rota to expose the existential
  skeleton in the closet: our perilous journey on the planet Earth. A
  readymade film with the barest of interventions.../ HYMN TO THE VOID

  sound Uyo-realism from the streets of Loisaida. The Cinema is an
  explosion of my love for reality - Pier Paolo Pasolini (It will be
  projected in the digital version).../// From the ordinary George Ives
  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 &

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ARSENAL
  by Alexandr Dovzhenko No English intertitles; English synopsis
  available, 1928-29, 87 minutes, 35mm One of Dovzhenko's few completely
  independent films, from script to screen. ARSENAL is a civil war epic
  envisioned in unusual, painterly images: a fallen soldier – drunk on the
  enemy's laughing gas – his frozen body still baring its teeth long after
  the battle and his life are over.

 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!
  *8pm showtime.

 FEAR FOUND FOOTAGE FROM SPAIN
  curated by Albert Alcoz SUNDAY OCTOBER 31ST & MONDAY NOVEMBER 1ST
  Screening starts @ 7pm...... The experimental filmmakers from Spain use
  found footage techniques to transform the original material appropiated
  into new aesthetic forms with ideological discourses. As Paul Arthur has
  stated: "It is only an ostensible paradox that as cinema nears the end
  of its filmic phase, the avant-garde has adopted the inquest of history
  as one of its dominant projects". The pieces chosen for the Fear found
  footage from Spain recover the cinematic past to reveal the invisible
  side of the image suggesting fear and suspiciousness. Erotic amateur
  films, auteur cinema and feature horror films are subverted to celebrate
  the existence of moving images and the possibility to recycle them.
  PROGRAM: A Spanish Delight by Eugeni Bonet, 2007, 5' An ironic
  appropiation of an anonymous found footage film in black and white where
  the erotic images have been accompanied by a new song named "Canción
  española" by Antonio Paso y Enrique García Álvarez. Miralls (Mirrors) by
  Gerard Gil, 2006, 21' A suspense montage of different scenes of feature
  horror films of free domain. The recycled images are associated with an
  instrumental music made with panic atmospheric textures. Copyright is
  for losers by Ninotchka Art Project, 2008, 24' An inspiring video made
  with juxtapositions of comercial films and electronic sounds combined to
  discuss copyright issues and the notion of originality in the cinematic
  media context. Profanaciones (Desecrations) by Oriol Sánchez, 2008, 22'
  A rhythmical video created to deprive cinema of his sacred character.
  Hundreds of superimposed images from famous terror films and vintage B
  movies are methodically arranged on three screens. The End by Fernando
  Franco, 2008, 6' A composition of diverse death performed by known
  actors on fiction films. Showed in slow motion theses non happy-ending
  scenes question the representation of the decease of the human
  body...///... Total Running Time: 78 minutes aprox. About Albert Alcoz
  Albert Alcoz is a Barcelona-based filmmaker, programmer and writer
  specializing in avantgarde and experimental cinema. Designs the
  Visionary Film blog, curates the experimental cinema and video sessions
  named Amalgama, writes articles about cinema and contemporary art in

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: EARTH
  by Alexandr Dovzhenko No English intertitles; English synopsis
  available, 1929-30, 82 minutes, 35mm A poetic expression of love for
  both nature and Ukrainian culture by the man who was alternatively
  branded a deserter by Ukrainians and a Ukrainian nationalist by Russian
  Soviets. Dovzhenko champions the progression of life, class struggle,
  and new attitudes for a town changed by a tractor and a fallen hero.

 SPECTACLES OF LIGHT: FILMS AND VIDEOS BY PETER ROSE
  Since 1968, Peter Rose has made more than 30 films, tapes, performances,
  and installations. Many early works raise intriguing questions about the
  nature of time, space, light, and perception, and draw upon his
  background in mathematics. His subsequent interest in language as
  subject, and video as a medium, has generated a substantial body of work
  that plays with the feel and form of sense, concrete texts, political
  satire, oddball performance, and a kind of intellectual comedy. Rose's
  recent installations return to an examination of landscape, time, and
  vision, and works on this program propose an annotated, nocturnal
  portrait of a vanished culture. Rose's work has been widely exhibited in
  venues such as The Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial, the
  Centre Pompidou, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Film Society of
  Lincoln Center, and the Rotterdam International Film Festival. In
  person: Peter Rose / Jack H. Skirball Series $9 [students $7, CalArts
  $5]

 LA CAPTIVE (2000 118 MIN) BY CHANTAL AKERMAN
  "Inspired by the fifth volume of Remembrance of Things Past, but more
  directly influenced by Vertigo and Buñuel's oeuvre, the film is a
  contemporary surrealist masterpiece and Akerman's most fully realized
  feature since Jeanne Dielman. Somber in tone but punctuated with
  hilariously absurd details, it has, from beginning to end, the quality
  and logic of a dream—or of a fantasy spun by the protagonist as he lies
  in bed, writing in his notebook à la Proust …. La Captive is one of the
  rare films where meaning is conveyed as much through sound as image.
  It's also Akerman's most despairing depiction of her recurrent theme:
  the impossible desire to merge the self with the other—always in her
  films a stand-in for the long-lost mother."- Amy Taubin, The Village
  Voice

 RADICAL LIGHT (WOMEN OF THE WEST: ’70S BAY AREA EXPERIMENTALISTS)
  San Francisco Cinematheque presents: Revisit or discover anew these
  radical films by some of the women who made the Bay Area scintillate in
  the '70s. These films both resist and embody the archetypes that were
  assigned to art created by women of the time. Each film asks us to look
  closely and savor its qualities, such as the metered scoring in Anne
  Severson [Alice Anne Parker]'s The Struggle of the Meat; rigorous &
  seductive self-examination in Barbara Linkevitch's Traces; submission to
  constructed accident in Jane Dobson's Stained Picture; unconscious and
  the corporeal in Gunvor Nelson's Moon's Pool; non-interventionist
  process in Dorothy Wiley's Cabbage; collision of illusionism & 2-D in
  Caroline Savage's Voyeur; absurdity of the infinite in Freude
  [Bartlett]'s Folly; uneasy meditation on the nature of perception in
  Stephanie Beroes' Valley Fever; and painterly animation in Barbara
  Hammer's Our Trip.

 RADICAL LIGHT: WOMEN OF THE WEST: ‘70S BAY AREA EXPERIMENTALISTS
  curated and introduced by Janis Crystal Lipzin, presented in association
  with Pacific Film Archive [members: $5 / non-members: $10] ---- The
  decade of the '70s was characterized by strident manifestos and
  polemics, a condition from which artist-made films were hardly immune.
  But that history doesn't appear so simple to those artists who made it.
  These films both resist and embody the archetypes that were assigned to
  art created by women of the time. Each film asks us to look closely and
  savor its qualities, such as the metered scoring in Anne Severson [Alice
  Anne Parker]'s The Struggle of the Meat; rigorous & seductive
  self-examination in Barbara Linkevitch's Traces; submission to
  constructed accident in Jane Dobson's Stained Picture; unconscious and
  the corporeal in Gunvor Nelson's Moon's Pool; non-interventionist

 CIVIL STATUS: FILMS BY ALINA RUDNITSKAYA
  Alina Rudnitskaya in person!   Often absurd and occasionally
  shattering, Alina Rudnitskaya's documentaries are tragicomic field notes
  on the bracing cultural and political changes of "New Russia." Produced
  largely through the storied St. Petersburg Documentary Studio, her films
  examine the day-to-day lives of her fellow citizens while illuminating
  their aspirations for and fantasies about the future. This evening, in a
  rare U.S. appearance, Rudnitskaya presents three films from her
  award-winning body of work. In Bitch Academy (2008), she follows a group
  of women who go back to school to become "strong women" by learning to
  seduce millionaire sugar daddies. Some revel in the school's provocative
  hands-on lessons while others grimly choke back tears—only hinting at
  the troubles they hope to escape—as they struggle to master this new
  form of empowerment. In Civil Status (2005), Rudnitskaya observes the
  everyday drama of work at the Civil Registry office, where the
  ladies-only staff transforms the joy, fury, and grief of new brides,
  divorcing husbands, and recent widows into bureaucratic procedure. And,
  in Besame Mucho (2006) she sketches an intimate portrait of an amateur
  choir in rural Tikhvin as they rehearse for group of Italian diplomats.
  In Russian with English subtitles. Alina Rudnitskaya, 2005-08, Russia,
  35mm and Beta SP video, ca. 90 min (plus discussion).   ALINA
  RUDNITSKAYA (1976, Zaozernyj, Russian Federation) is a director and
  scriptwriter. She received a degree from the Academy of Aerospace
  Engineering, St. Petersburg in 1997 and studied film directing at St.
  Petersburg's University of Culture and Arts from 1997-2001. Her short
  films, largely produced through the renowned St. Petersburg Documentary
  Studio, have garnered over thirty international awards prizes and have
  screened worldwide, including at the Oberhausen Film Festival, Germany;
  the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Netherlands; International
  Film Festival Vila do Conde, Portugal; Documentamadrid, Spain; the
  London Film Festival, UK; Transmediale, Berlin, Germany; and Silverdocs,
  Maryland, USA; among many others. She lives and works in St. Petersburg.

 AFTER DARK: FEAR
  presented in collaboration with Exploratorium's After Dark Program,
  [free with museum admission] ---- What are you afraid of? Is it things
  that go bump in the night or a particular night something bumped? Death?
  Spiders? Earthquakes? Experience life After Dark, a cutting edge evening
  series exclusively for adults that mixes cocktails, conversation, and
  playful, innovative science and art events. Not a theater, cabaret, or
  gallery, After Dark contains aspects of all three. Tonight through film,
  activities and exhibit experiences we will explore fear–the line between
  it and anxiety, its effects on our brains and the manipulation of our
  fears for good and ill. We'll explore the relationship between fear and
  pleasure, phobias, fright, flight and what heightened stress of fear and
  anxiety might be doing to our bodies and brains. After a night of Fear
  at the Exploratorium you might have a different take on what you are
  afraid of. (Melissa Alexander)

 US PREMIERE - PIP CHODOROV FEATURE DOCUMENTARY "FREE RADICALS"
  Filmmaker and film activist Pip Chodorov offers this affectionate
  overview of some of the leading figures of 20th century experimental
  film. Narrating in a personal and plainspoken manner ("I'd like you to
  meet some of my friends and see their films"), Chodorov combines clips
  and even films in their entirety with conversations with such luminaries
  as Hans Richter, Robert Breer, Michael Snow, Peter Kubelka and Stan
  Brakhage in his final recorded interview. The film, which takes its
  title from Len Lye's direct animation classic, shows how avant-garde
  filmmakers were often left in a no man's land between the art world and
  the commercial film industry. It was up to visionaries like Jonas Mekas
  and the organizations he founded — Film-Makers' Cooperative, Anthology
  Film Archive — to help struggling filmmakers out. (At one point, Ken
  Jacobs describes dumpster diving for food.) Warm and inspiring,
  Chodorov's film is part essay and part loving tribute. —Doug Cummings -

  His works have been exhibited at venues including the Museum of Modern
  Art, San Francisco Cinematheque, Chicago Filmmakers, Los Angeles
  Filmforum, The 8 Fest (Toronto), among other venues, and has created
  several collaborative performance pieces with composer/performer Luciano
  Chessa. His work is influenced by both structural filmmaking and the New

  alongside/within pre-determined forms. For this presentation, he will
  project a collection of Super 8 films, all previously unseen in New
  York. He will also present the first public realization of his
  open-ended performance work for Super 8 film and audio cassettes

 THE SOUND OF JAZZ/GET OUT OF THE CAR
  Jack Smight THE SOUND OF JAZZ 1957, 58 minutes, video. One of the
  high-points of American television, this 1957 broadcast, an episode in
  CBS's SEVEN LIVELY ARTS series, brought performances by some of the most
  gifted jazz musicians of the period into living rooms throughout the
  country. Featuring appearances by jazz greats Count Basie, Lester Young,
  Ben Webster, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins, Pee Wee Russell, Gerry
  Mulligan, and Thelonious Monk, the emotional peak of the program is the
  rendition of "Fine and Mellow", which represented the reunion of Billie
  Holiday and her estranged long-time friend Lester Young, playing
  together here for the final time. & Thom Andersen GET OUT OF THE CAR
  2010, 34 minutes, 16mm. This new film by Thom Andersen, a follow-up to
  his award-winning documentary LOS ANGELES PLAYS ITSELF, is a miniature
  city symphony composed of advertising signs, building facades, fragments
  of music and conversation, and unmarked sites of vanished cultural
  landmarks. Taking its cue from the Richard Berry song whose title it
  shares, the film's musical fragments compose an impressionistic survey
  of popular music made in Los Angeles across the 20th century, with an
  emphasis on 50s jazz/R&B and 90s corridos! & Thom Andersen & Malcolm
  Brodwick --- ------- (1967, 11 minutes, 16mm) Also known as 'short line
  long line' (for the verbally-inclined), this earlier film by Andersen is
  one of the greatest of all experimental rock 'n' roll films – formally
  rigorous, visually gorgeous, and rhythmically dynamic. Total running
  time: ca. 105 minutes.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: THE PARSON'S WIDOW
  No English intertitles; English synopsis available, 1921, 78 minutes,
  35mm Film Notes A lyrical, early Dreyer comedy. A young parson wins a
  plum parish in 17th century Norway, but is obliged to marry the widow of
  his deceased predecessor and pretend his attractive young fiancée is his
  sister. The master's touch is evident in the close-ups of the pastor's
  would-be rivals and parishioners and a slow pan presaging the 360-degree
  views of VAMPYR.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC
  No English intertitles; English synopsis available, 1927-28, 98 minutes,
  35mm Film Notes A work that exemplifies Dreyer's philosophy: simplicity
  is the most complex idea of all. Although renowned for its spare acts,
  lack of embellishment, and use of simple shots, Dreyer's masterpiece
  reveals the natural complexity of an un-retouched face (often existing
  alone, filling up the frame) and a landscape of history as individual as
  the lines on that face. Made in 1927-28, it continues to haunt the
  cinema, looking more and more avant-garde as the years go by.

  by Carl Th. Dreyer In Danish with no subtitles; English synopsis
  available, 1931-32, 70 minutes, 35mm Film Notes "Imagine that we are
  sitting in a very ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a
  corpse behind the door. Instantly, the room we are sitting in has taken
  on another look. The light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are
  physically the same. This is because we have changed and the objects are
  as we conceive them. This is the effect I wanted to produce in VAMPYR."

  In Danish with no subtitles; English synopsis available, 1943, 100
  minutes, 35mm Film Notes "Carl Dreyer's art begins to unfold at the
  point where most other directors give up. Witchcraft and martyrdom are
  his themes – but his witches don't ride broomsticks, they ride the
  erotic fears of their persecutors. It is a world that suggests a
  dreadful fusion of Hawthorne and Kafka." –Pauline Kael
