12/18
Chicago, Illinois: White Light Cinema
http://www.whitelightcinema.com
8:00pm, The Nightingale (1084 N. Milwaukee Ave.)
ANDY WARHOL'S FACE & THE VELVET UNDERGROUND IN BOSTON
Andy Warhol's Face & The Velvet Underground in Boston *** Two New
Preservations! *** Presented in Memory of Callie Angell *** Andy
Warhol's filmography continues to produce unknown and barely-known films
as films are slowly preserved and released. FACE is one of those
barely-known titles – it was publicly shown but little seen before
Warhol withdrew all of his films from distribution. Starring the
magnetic Edie Sedgwick, who comes closest to being a muse for Warhol of
all the Factory regulars, FACE is an extreme example of Warhol's
interest in portraiture: the film is a nearly 70 minute extended
"close-up" of Sedgwick as she performs a variety of mundane tasks,
converses with an off-screen Chuck Wein, and just is herself. *** Also
showing is another newly preserved film, THE VELVET UNDERGROUND IN
BOSTON, featuring the band in concert. *** This program is presented in
memory of Callie Angell (1948-2010). Angell was a film curator, writer,
researcher, and project director. She worked at Anthology Film Archives
and the Whitney Museum in New York City and for the past ten years was
the director of the Andy Warhol Film Project, where she was preparing a
two-volume catalog raisonée on Warhol's films (volume one, on the Screen
Tests, was published in 2008; volume two was nearing completion). Angell
has become the foremost expert on Warhol's films and was a tireless
champion of his work. *** FACE (1965, 66 mins., 16mm, new preservation
print) "Featuring two fixed-frame shots of Warhol's socialite superstar
Edie Sedgwick, FACE (1965, USA, 66 min.) captures what the singer and
poet Patti Smith described as Sedgwick's ability to radiate
'intelligence, speed, and being connected with the moment.'" (MoMA) ***
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND IN BOSTON (1967, 33 mins., 16mm, new preservation
print) "THE VELVET UNDERGROUND IN BOSTON (1967, USA, 33 min.), which
Warhol shot during a concert at the Boston Tea Party, features a variety
of filmmaking techniques—sudden in-and-out zooms, sweeping panning
shots, in-camera edits that create single frame images and bursts of
light like paparazzi flash bulbs going off—that mirror the kinesthetic
experience of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, with its strobe lights,
whip dancers, colorful slide shows, multi-screen projections, liberal
use of amphetamines, and overpowering sound of The Velvet Underground."
(MoMA) *** Admission: $7.00-10.00 sliding scale

New York, New York: Millennium Film Workshop
http://www.millenniumfilm.org/
8pm, Admission $8/$6 for members, 66 East 4th Street
PERSONAL CINEMA SERIES: NOE KIDDER
Noe Kidder was raised in Upstate New York and Kauai, Hawaii. She studied
film with Tatsu Aoki at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her
work is known for its unusual combinations of animation, puppetry,
projection, and performance. The work of Maya Deren and Janie Geiser
among others have inspired her.----PROGRAM---- MY FATHER WAS A GANGSTER
(3 min. 2010) A stand in self-portrait. Total displacement and complete
familiarity. Picture postcards flashing in the size of little stamps.
The past of our city suffocates and puzzles. What is cheapest and
easiest is me. --- HOLLYWOOD SONGBOOK (40 min. 2010) A film-music
collaboration with Jessica Goldring, Darren Chase and Bill Solomon of
EXILKABARETT. Song cycle by Hanns Eisler, poems by Bertolt Brecht,
glorious B&W reversal plus X film and the fresh waters of Spring. ---
HOLY BLOOD (40min, 2010) A long term project co-directed with Los
Angeles artist Brian Getnick. The first narrative experiment. A small
town theater, fragmented and self-imploding.

12/23
San Francisco, California: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
http://www.sfmoma.org
7:00 p.m., 151 Third Street
RED AND WHITE: PROGRAM 1
Le ballon rouge (The Red Balloon), Albert Lamorisse, 1957, 34 min., 35mm
Crin Blanc (White Mane), Albert Lamorisse, 1953, 40 min., 35mm The Red
Balloon follows a lonely young boy, played by Lamorisse's son, as he
explores Paris with a playful, seemingly sentient balloon. White Mane,
set in a devastatingly beautiful Mediterranean landscape, is the story
of another boy who befriends a wild horse as it evades the ranchers who
would capture it. Modern fables of childhood innocence and freedom,
these true family classics are as delightful for kids as they are deeply
emotional for adults. Part of Red and White. $5 general; free for SFMOMA
members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be
picked up in the Haas Atrium).
