11/27
New York, New York: Millennium Film Workshop
http://www.millenniumfilm.org/
8pm - Admission $8 / $6 members, 66 East 4th Street

PERSONAL CINEMA SERIES: STEPHEN DWOSKIN
  Stephen Dwoskin, born in Brooklyn, New York, contracted Polio at the age
  of seven and was left disabled. After studying art with de Kooning and
  Albers, he attended NYU and the Parsons School of Design. He soon
  discovered experimental cinema and was influenced by the transgressive
  underground films of Jack Smith and Ron Rice. This led to the publishing
  of his book, FILM IS. He began making his own films and moved to Britain
  in 1964 where he has lived ever since. He was one of the founders of the
  London Film-makers Cooperative. His features, beginning in the 1970s,
  attracted much attention and critical acclaim, along with strong
  controversy.-----PROGRAM------- THE SUN AND THE MOON, US PREMIERE
  (60min. 2007) This video is some kind of enforced domestic cinema: an
  excessive video film in which the maker does not spare himself. Short of
  breath, 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."
  -S.D.--------- NIGHTSHOTS 1,2,3 (33min. 2006-2007) 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." -S.D.

6 PM - 11PM , Lumenhouse, 47 Beaver Street

MONO NO AWARE IV : EXPANDED CINEMA EVENT
  MONO NO AWARE IS AN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF EXPANDED CINEMA
  PERFORMANCES. TAKING ITS NAME FROM THE JAPANESE EXPRESSION MEANING -THE
  PATHOS OF THINGS-. THE CONCEPT IS TO PRESENT WORK WHICH IS EPHEMERAL IN
  NATURE WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE. RECENT ADVANCEMENTS
  IN TECHNOLOGY HAVE ALTERED THE AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE AND CONNECTIVITY
  ASSOCIATED WITH THE CINEMA. WEBSITES, TELEVISION, AND EVEN CELL PHONES
  HAVE BECOME AN EVERYDAY VEHICLE FOR FILM AND VIDEO. ALL OF THE WORK
  PRESENTED AT MONO NO AWARE CONSISTS OF ONE PART FILM PROJECTION AND ONE
  PART LIVE PERFORMANCE ELEMENT. 16MM OR SUPER 8MM FILMS ONLY, NO DIGITAL
  VIDEO. WE BELIEVE THERE IS A MAGIC IN SEEING THE FILM PRINT. THERE IS A
  PRESENCE A POET HAS READING HIS/HER OWN WRITING. THERE IS A FEELING THAT
  RESONATES IN YOUR CHEST WHEN YOU SEE A MUSICIAN PERFORM LIVE. EACH MONO
  NO AWARE PERFORMANCE IS ONE OF A KIND, SOME PARTICIPANTS HAVE GONE SO
  FAR AS TO DESTROY THE FILM WORK AFTER ITS FIRST RUN AT THE EVENT. WE
  INVITE YOU TO JOIN US SUNDAY NOVEMBER 28TH AT LUMENHOUSE IN BROOKLYN.

HALLELUJAH THE HILLS - A FILM BY ADOLFAS MEKAS
  MONDAY NOVEMBER 29TH 7PM  / 16mm, 1965, b&w, sound,
  82mins ...With Peter H. Beard, Marty Greenbaum, Sheila Finn, Peggy
  Steffans, Jerome Hill, Taylor Mead. Camera: Ed Emshwiller.
  Assistant: Jonas Mekas. Editing: Adolfas Mekas. Music: Meyer
  Kupferman..../... We begin the holiday season, with a rare screening of
  Adolfas Mekas' "Hallellujah the Hills," one of the classic, radical
  films of the 60s New American Cinema. The 82-minute black & white
  lyrical comedy will be projected in 16mm film. "Hallejuah the Hills"
  involves the loose story line of 2 men in love with the same woman and
  "stars" Peter Beard, Marty Geenbaum, Peggy Steffans-Sarno (in her first

  Lithuania, arrived in the United States with his brother Jonas in 1949.
  They founded "Film Culture," the magazine of independent cinema, in
  1954. Adolfas Mekas's Hallelujah the Hills bears witness to his
  knowledge and love of cinema, as well as the immense freedom to be found
  in all the films of the New American Cinema. "Imagine a combination of
  Huckleberry Finn, Pull My Daisy, the Marx Brothers, and the complete
  works of Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, D. W. Griffith, and you've
  got it. What have you got? A film which is both deliriously funny and
  ravishingly lyrical�." The Guardian, 1963 Admission $6, tickets

11/30
Reading, Pennsylvania: Berks Filmmakers, Inc
http://www.berksfilmmakers.org
7:30 pm, Albright College Center for the Arts

FILMS BY MAYA DEREN
  The first American artist to work in what some have called psychodrama
  or P. Adams Sitney has named the trance film. With Meshes of the
  Afternoon (1943, 14 min) which she co-created with her then-husband,
  Alexander Hammid, and perhaps even more so with At Land (1944) Deren
  launched what was to become America's avant-garde film movement. Along
  with these two works (the first of which is treated at length in almost
  every college film history & theory text being used in America today),
  Deren continued to produce works (in both her films and her writing)
  exploring interior realms of the psyche, the body moving through space,
  the power of trance and ritual and the medium of cinema itself as a fine
  art: "if cinema is to take its place beside the others as a full-fledged
  art form, it must cease merely to record realities that owe nothing of
  their actual existence to the film instrument. In stead, it must create
  a total experience so much out of the very nature of the instrument as
  to be inseparable from its means.�MD: quoted in P. Adams Sitney's,
  Visionary Film. Deren's Study in Choreography for Camera (1945); Ritual
  in Transfigured Time (1946) and Meditation on Violence (1948) will also
  be shown.

Austin, TX: Austin School of Film
http://austinschooloffilm.org/
6 pm, 1634 E. Cesar Chavez Street Austin, TX 78702

CINEMAKER AWAKENS! W/ A SCREENING OF ZORN'S LEMMA!
  I'm happy to announce the inauguration of the Austin School of Film's
  Cinemaker division! As some of you might know, ASOF came out of two
  organizations - The Center for Young Cinema and The Austin Cinemaker
  Coop, the latter invested in experimental Super 8 film. After many
  fruitful years, ASOF is reintroducing its experimental roots to the
  city. For our first meet-up we will be screening Hollis Frampton's
  "Zorn's Lemma" on 16mm via the Filmmakers Cooperative. Prof. Lalitha
  Gopalan from UT at Austin will introduce the film and lead a
  post-discussion Q and A. Our doors will be open for an hour before the
  film however so you can come in and check out some of our (very much
  work-in-progress) film facilities. We will soon be offering Super8
  camera rentals, a film editing space for you to finish your works on
  film, hand-processing facilities, open screenings and hopefully many
  other things... We are working on greatly expanding our film focus,
  hopefully with the purchase of some 16mm cameras and an optical
  printer... there'll be a wishlist going around, so feel free to comment
  on it, and we'll try to plug it into our grants! We're here for you!
  Door: 6pm Zorn's Lemma: 7pm. Admission: Members 5$/General: 8$.
  Depending on the weather the screening might be held outside; in either
  case however, do note that seating will be limited. (Admission is for
  the film only so we can keep having screenings! Feel free to come hang
  out before the film too!)

Berkeley, California: Pacific Film Archive
http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/
7:30pm, 2575 Bancroft Way

RADICAL LIGHT: TRIBULATION 99
  Tribulation 99 is "both a skewed history of United States intervention
  in Latin America and a satire of conspiracy thinking...In one sense,
  Tribulation is a Cold-War sci-fi cheapster in the apocalyptic-warning
  tradition of Invasion U.S.A. and Red Planet Mars. Baldwin calls it 'the
  hidden history of postwar intervention in Latin America by alien
  invaders,' and the joke, of course, is on the notion of 'alien'�. Rather
  than stage this comic drama, Baldwin illustrates it with a heady mix of
  images culled from a variety of newsreels, travelogues, industrial
  films, TV commercials, Mexican horror flicks, and Hollywood movies shot
  off the tube. The range of this found footage, as well as the
  sensibility, mirrors Baldwin's taste as programmer for the Other Cinema
  in San Francisco."

RADICAL LIGHT: SAN FRANCISCO LINES OF SIGHT
  Curated by Steve Anker, presented in association with Pacific Film
  Archive and Prelinger Archives [members: $5 / non-members: $10] -----
  Filmmakers are often drawn to explore the face of where they live, and
  San Francisco offers a field of contrasting and visually arresting
  locations that has inspired experimental films and videos for more than
  fifty years. This program of work made between 1979 and 2005 includes
  Dominic Angerame's Freedom's Skyway, a blend of Chinatown and film
  emulsion fireworks; Michael Rudnick's elegant cinematic paean of shadow
  and light, Panorama; Mark McGowan's ethereal and mystifying
  contemplation Fog; Toney Merritt's whimsical mystery By The Sea; Abigail
  Child's Pacific Far East Line, a cinematic re-presentation of downtown
  movement and rhythm; Ken Paul Rosenthal's I My Bike, a poetic rumination
  on life lived on the street; Tomonari Nishikawa's Market Street, a
  concentrated mosaic of patterns encountered on the city's main
  thoroughfare; Scott Stark's delightful visual conundrum of urban spaces,
  SLOW; and Anne McGuire's verit� fantasy on the urban mundane, Joe
  DiMaggio 1, 2, 3. Thanks to Steve Polta. (Steve Anker)

Chicago, Illinois: Conversations at the Edge

6pm, Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State St

THE UNSTABLE OBJECT
  Daniel Eisenberg in person! "Daniel Eisenberg's films construct
  intricate webs of associations and reflections that probe consciousness,
  memory, and the emotional undercurrents of landscapes." � Steve Anker
    What do a luxury automobile, a wall clock, and a cymbal have in
  common? Daniel Eisenberg's latest film, The Unstable Object is an
  elegant and visually sensual essay on contemporary models of production.
  Interested in the ways "things" affect both producer and consumer,
  Eisenberg travels to a state-of-the-art Volkswagen factory in Dresden,
  Germany, where shoppers look on as their individualized cars are
  hand-built by high-tech specialists; to Chicago Lighthouse Industries,
  where blind workers produce wall clocks for federal government offices;
  and to a deafening cymbal factory in Istanbul, Turkey, where today's
  most sought-after cymbals are cast and hammered by hand, exactly as they
  were 400 years ago. Through a series of sequences sympathetic to each
  site and subject, The Unstable Object probes the relationships our
  global economy creates between individuals around the world. This
  special preview screening will be followed by a book signing for
  POSTWAR: The Films of Daniel Eisenberg (Black Dog Publishing, 2010), the
  first major critical study of the SAIC professor's work. Daniel
  Eisenberg, 2010, Germany/Turkey/USA, DigiBeta video, ca. 90 min (plus
  discussion). DANIEL EISENBERG (1954, Israel) has been making
  films for the past three decades. His films and videos examine history,
  memory, trauma, the contemporary urban environment, and labor, as well
  as their manifold representation and mediation. His work has been shown
  throughout Europe and North America, with exhibitions at the Museum of
  Modern Art, New York; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Pacific
  Film Archive, Berkeley; the American Museum of the Moving Image, New
  York; De Unie, Rotterdam; and Kino Arsenal, Berlin; and at film
  festivals in Berlin, Sydney, London, and Jerusalem. Eisenberg has also
  edited numerous television documentaries, including Eyes on the Prize:
  America's Civil Rights Years, and Vietnam: A Television History.
  Eisenberg has received numerous awards and fellowships, including a John
  Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 1999. His films are in the collections of
  the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Freunde der Deutschen Kinemathek, and
  the Australian Film and Television School, among others. He is currently
  Professor of Film, Video, New Media, and Animation at the School of the
  Art Institute of Chicago.

NOW PLAYING: SYLVANO BUSSOTTI AND SFSOUNDGROUP
  7:00 p.m. Screening of Bussotti's Rara (film), with live piano
  accompaniment by the director 9:00 p.m. Performance of music by
  Bussotti, featuring Bussotti and sfSoundGroup, curated by Luciano Chessa
  In collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute, San Francisco
  Cinematheque, and the Progetto Sonora-CEMAT, and inspired by Exposed:
  Voyeurism, Surveillance, and the Camera Since 1870, we present an
  evening with Italian composer and director Sylvano Bussotti, a key
  innovator in contemporary music since the early 1960s. We begin with the
  U.S. premiere of a restored print of silent Rara (film), which gathers
  "filmed portraits" of the Italian avant-garde, including the circle
  around Pier Paolo Pasolini, the expats of Julian Beck's Living Theater,
  and Bussotti's muse Cathy Berberian. Tonight we watch the director watch
  and respond to his film. Following the screening, sfSoundGroup joins the
  composer to move through Bussotti's music, from Breve (1958-59), for the
  early electronic instrument ondes martenot, and the sizzling two-pianos
  duo Tableaux vivants avant La Passion selon Sade (1964), to the recent
  Variazione Berio (2007). Stephanie Syjuco proffers local artists' wares
  at a night market in conjunction with The More Things Change, and as
  always at Now Playing, Meatpaper magazine leads a "Food & Thought" event
  in the Rooftop Garden. Please note that seating in the Phyllis Wattis
  Theater is limited and on a first come first serve basis. Part of

  music since the early 1960s, Bussotti's silent Rara (film) links "filmed
  portraits" of the Italian avant-garde, from the circle around Pier Paolo
  Pasolini to the ex-pats of Julian Beck's The Living Theater, to
  Bussotti's muse Cathy Berberian. In this screening, we watch the
  director watch and respond to his film. (Frank Smiegel)

GRANATO�S D-TOUR + SONIC YOUTH�S SLEEPING NIGHTS AWAKE +
  As part of the ATA/Other Cinema annual benefit weekend, local lensman
  Jim Granato (in person) generously shares his award-winning long-form,
  shot by Christian Bruno, on personal survival in the rock 'n' roll
  milieu. Rogue Wave drummer Pat Spurgeon is threatened with a
  deteriorating kidney (his only one) right at the start of a national
  tour. John Vanderslice, the Moore Brothers, and many other musicians
  appear in this hometown tale of courage in the face of an inadequate
  health-care system. CO-BILLED is Michael Albright's 79-min. Sleeping
  Nights Awake, capturing Sonic Youth's July 4th Reno performance. The
  band's Nevada visit was in fact documented by six high-school students,
  affording a candid rockumentary much less pretentious than the typical
  music-biz promo. PLUS: Rev. Douglas Katelus welcomes all at his cozy
  piano bar, while Bill Daniel and Richard Kern garnish the Sonic survey.
  *8pm showtime for the double feature; Sleeping Nights starts at 10pm.
  $6�$10.

THERE�S SOMETHING ELSE (OR SOME TITLES OF RECENT SPANISH EXPERIMENTAL
CINEMA)
  Films that think, images that beat, sounds which play ping-pong. This
  program represents an intense capsule reflecting diverse and exciting
  talents in contemporary Spanish avant-garde cinema. Coming from
  darkness, animation, found footage and the exploration of visual and
  sonic textures describe the illness and cure of the individual in the
  present, the opening of other spaces and dimensions, luminous new
  landscapes, paranormal events. "They are already here. Or maybe they are
  just in our imagination. One way or another, unexpected things happen�"
  Curated by Garbi�e Ortega
