4:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
EVERY HOUSE HAS A DOOR: SHORTS PROGRAM
This winter P.S. 122 and Anthology Film Archives will host a series of
parallel events conceived by the Chicago-based theater company Every
house has a door. Encompassing performance, a symposium, and these film
screenings, together they constitute an investigation of abandoned
practices, endangered uses, and the fraught nostalgia of utopianism.
From January 26-29, P.S. 122 will present Let us think of these things
always. Let us speak of them never., a performance composed largely in
response to the films of the legendary Yugoslavian director Dušan
Makavejev. P.S. 122 will also host a two-hour symposium on January 29,
while Anthology will present two film screenings: a short film program
on January 29, curated by filmmaker Melika Bass, whose new film WAKING
THINGS showcases performances by the cast of Let us think…; and a
special presentation of Makavejev's landmark feature, WR: MYSTERIES OF
THE ORGANISM. Special thanks to Melika Bass, Vallejo Gantner (P.S. 122),
Shoshona Currier, Lin Hixson & Matthew Goulish (Every house has a door),
and Brian Belovarac & Sarah Finklea (Janus Films). PROGRAM 1: SHORT FILM
PROGRAM Curator/filmmaker Melika Bass in person! "The filmmakers
featured in this program all explore the corporeal in the everyday,
honing atmospheric worlds from fragments of gestures and moments. Many
of the figures in these works seem lost to memory, living in a shadowy
realm of hushed interior rooms, a rocky mountain slope, or a small, dank
village. The visceral textures of these realms offer a silent history of
use, as bodies inhabit and move through worn spaces, enacting everyday
rituals or labors, possessed by solitude and a wildness of their own
physicalities. We observe these characters, figures in their landscapes,
left to piece together meaning, story, and poetics." –Melika Bass Piotr
Dumala FRANZ KAFKA (Poland, 1991, 16 minutes, 35mm, b&w) Ben Rivers AH,
LIBERTY! (Scotland, 2008, 20 minutes, 16mm, b&w) Melika Bass WAKING
THINGS (USA, 2011, ca. 25 minutes, 16mm-to-video) Alla Kovgan and David
Hinton NORA (USA/Zimbabwe, 2008, 35 minutes, digital video) Total
running time: ca. 95 minutes.

New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
ESSENTIAL CINEMA: GENET/ROBERT FRANK & ALFRED LESLIE
Jean Genet UN CHANT D'AMOUR 1950, 26 minutes, 16mm, b&w, silent. Jean
Genet's poetic expression of male eroticism pitted against the confines
of prison cells and a homophobic state…a powerfully resonant work that
explores individual freedom and the laws of desire. Robert Frank &
Alfred Leslie PULL MY DAISY 1959, 28 minutes, 35mm, b&w. A largely
spontaneous experiment, arranged in 1959 by Robert Frank along with
Alfred Leslie. They enlisted the participation of Jack Kerouac, who
offered in place of an original screenplay a stage play he'd never
finished writing, "The Beat Generation." The plot is based on an
incident in the life of Neal Cassady and his wife Carolyn. They're
raising a family and trying to fit in with their suburban neighbors, and
one night they invite a respectable neighborhood bishop over for dinner.
But Neal's Beat friends crash the party, and that Marx Brothers-like
scenario is the closest thing the film has to a storyline. Total running
time: ca. 60 minutes.

FILMFORUM’S 35TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW: A CELEBRATION OF KODACHROME
Filmforum started its regular public screenings in January 1976, and
we're doing better than ever! We're delighted that we are still bringing
you film and video art that you won't be able to see anywhere else.
We're celebrating our 35th anniversary with a celebration of Kodachrome,

retirement. We're screening a few classic films shot or printed on
Kodachrome, followed by an intimate and delightful reception, and we
hope that you will join us! Michael Kuchar in person! Pastorale d'Ete by

Makavejev WR: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM / WR – MISTERIJE ORGANIZMA 1971,
84 minutes, 35mm. In English, Serbian, Russian, and German with English
subtitles. "Called 'an outrageous, exuberant, marvelous work' by Amos
Vogel in FILM COMMENT, WR is a unique blend of fact and fiction.
Makavejev's landmark film deftly juxtaposes the story of a sexual
encounter between the beautiful, liberated Milena and a repressed Soviet
figure-skating champion, with an exploration of the life and theories of
psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. The 'WR' in the title stands for either
'Wilhelm Reich' or 'World Revolution.' Makavejev describes it as 'a
black comedy, political circus, a fantasy on the fascism and communism
of human bodies, the political life of human genitals, a proclamation of
the pornographic essence of any system of authority and power over
others…. If you watch for more than five minutes, you become my
accomplice.'" –FACETS MULTIMEDIA

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: GRANT/JACOBS & FLEISCHNER
Dwinell Grant COMPOSITION #2 CONTRATHEMIS 1941, 5 minutes, 16mm, color,
silent. "An attempt to develop visual abstract themes and to
counterpoint them in a planned, formal composition." –D.G. "Austere and
chaste combinations, with subtle manipulation of structure, density and
rhythm."–William Moritz STOP MOTION TESTS 1942, 3 minutes, 16mm, color,
silent. A self-portrait. COLOR SEQUENCE 1943, 3 minutes, 16mm, color,
silent. "Pure solid-color frames which fade, mutate and flicker. A
research into color rhythms and perceptual phenomena." –William Moritz
Ken Jacobs LITTLE STABS AT HAPPINESS 1959-63, 18 minutes, 16mm, color.
Featuring Jack Smith. "Material was cut in as it came out of the camera,
embarrassing moments intact. 100' rolls timed well with music on old
78s. I was interested in immediacy, a sense of ease, and an art where
suffering was acknowledged but not trivialized with dramatics. Whimsy
was our achievement as well as breaking out of step." –K.J. Ken Jacobs &
Bob Fleischner BLONDE COBRA 1959-63, 35 minutes, 16-to-35mm blow-up,
b&w/color. Featuring Jack Smith. Preserved by Anthology, with the
generous support of The Film Foundation, The National Film Preservation
Foundation, Simon Lund and Cineric, Inc. "BLONDE COBRA is an erratic
narrative – no, not really a narrative, it's only stretched out in time
for convenience of delivery. It's a look in on an exploding life, on a
man of imagination suffering pre-fashionable Lower East Side deprivation
and consumed with American 1950s, 40s, 30s disgust. Silly, self-pitying,
guilt-strictured and yet triumphing – on one level – over the situation
with style… enticing us into an absurd moral posture the better to
dismiss us with a regal 'screw off.'" –K.J. Total running time: ca. 70
minutes.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE
by Marcel Hanoun In French with no subtitles; English synopsis
available, 1958, 68 minutes, 16mm Film Notes "Based on a true incident,
the film chronicles the wanderings of a woman and child looking for work
and lodging in Paris. This is the only plot, and Hanoun has little
interest in embellishing it with background and motivation: he never
even makes it clear, for example, whether the woman is the child's
mother, guardian or companion. UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE is, more than a
narrative, a formal stylistic exercise so rigorously disciplined and
understated that it makes the visual asceticism of Robert Bresson seem
almost Fellini-esque by comparison." –TIME

Noon, Phyllis Wattis Theater
FREE TUESDAY SCREENING: VOYEURISM AND EARLY CINEMA (PART OF EXPOSED ON
FILM)
With the emergence of the moving picture in the late 19th century, the
theater quickly became a new space for voyeurism and cinema became a
vehicle for exhibitionism -- perfect compliments. Hidden in the darkened
movie houses, film goers quickly settled into their new role as passive
viewers and voyeurs. The collection of short films in the program
examines early cinema's preoccupation with the thrill and spectacle of
looking. Museum and program admission are free.

THE FREE SCREEN: FROM ECSTACY TO RAPTURE: 50 YEARS OF THE OTHER SPANISH
CINEMA: SESSION 6
ARREBATO (Rapture) Saving the wildest for last, From Ecstasy to Rapture
closes with this restored and subtitled print of Iván Zulueta's
underground cult masterpiece Arrebato, a hypnotic reverie charged with
an eerie mysticism. Also known as Pedro Almodóvar's poster designer,
Zulueta (who died in December 2009) was an enfant terrible whose tenuous
art-making culminated in this chilling full-length feature, the
production of which reportedly nearly collapsed under the drug-fuelled
atmosphere of its making. Though Almodóvar lends his voice to a female
character (and the lead character is named Pedro), the film's
sensibility belongs wholly to Zulueta, who combines many of the
techniques he had used in his Super 8 shorts (such as A Mal Gam A, Frank
Stein or Kinkón) while delving into themes that had preoccupied him
since childhood. Influenced by such disparate sources as Jonas Mekas,
John Cassavetes and the Nouvelle Vague, Arrebato is a raw, personal and
unquestionably strange work that is also very much about the cinema
itself and the power of moving images to lead us to a mystical state
–the "rapture" of the title. Arrebato Dir. Iván Zulueta | Spain 1980 |

VIVIENNE DICK: NO WAVE FILMS
"The quintessential No Wave filmmaker." —J. Hoberman. One of the most
important filmmakers to emerge from New York's seething No Wave scene,
and currently enjoying a resurgence of interest in her work,
Ireland-born Vivienne Dick created a series of Super-8 films in the late
1970s that balance stripped-down narratives with visceral and moody
performances by artists and musicians like Lydia Lunch, Pat Place, Adele
Bertei, and Ikue Mori. Writes Ed Halter in Artforum, "Obsessed with
exhuming repressed traumas, voicing beaten-down identities, and
generally meandering through a complex matrix of bad vibes, Dick's works
…are unapologetically messy, subjective, and political—thereby proposing
that so, too, is life." This evening's program features a collection of
her No Wave films, including the small-gauge masterpieces, She Had Her
Gun Already (1978) and Beauty Becomes the Beast (1979), among others.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: SUNRISE
by F.W. Murnau 1927, 95 minutes, 35mm Script by Carl Meyer based on the
story "A Trip to Tilsit" by Herman Sudermann. Photographed by Charles
Rosher and Karl Strauss. With George O'Brien and Janet Gaynor. Murnau's
first American film is an allegory set in no particular time or place,
about a man who is temporarily overruled by his passions, inflamed by
the power of evil as personified by the city woman, and who finally
returns to his senses and the orderly family life of the country. It is
a virtuoso exercise representing the expressiveness of the silent film
as it neared its end.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: RULES OF THE GAME
by Jean Renoir In French with English subtitles, 1939, 97 minutes, 35mm
"Detested when it first appeared (for satirizing the French ruling class
on the brink of the Second World War), almost destroyed by brutal
cutting, restored in 1959 to virtually its original form, THE RULES OF
THE GAME is now universally acknowledged as a masterpiece and perhaps
Renoir's supreme achievement. In the four international critics' polls
organized every ten years (since 1952) by SIGHT AND SOUND, only two
films have been constant: one is BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN, and the other is
THE RULES OF THE GAME. And in the 1982 poll, THE RULES OF THE GAME had
climbed to second place. Its extreme complexity (it seems, after more
than 20 viewings, one of the cinema's few truly inexhaustible films)
makes it peculiarly difficult to write about briefly." –Robin Wood.

Arthur Ginsberg with Video Free America, 1970–75, 58 min., video.
DIRECTOR IN PERSON! Introduced by Rudolf Frieling, curator of media
arts, SFMOMA. This fascinating exercise in video verité chronicles
several years in the lives of Carel, a porn actress, and Ferd, a drug
addict. Capturing the couple's sex life, their wedding, and their
breakup, the camera becomes a participant in their relationship. Made
decades before reality TV took over, Ginsberg's documentary raises
intriguing questions about the nature of privacy and the role of media
in everyday life.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: JEROME HILL PROGRAM
Brand-new 35mm prints; preservations undertaken by the Museum of Modern
Art. DEATH IN THE FORENOON (1934/66, 2 minutes, 35mm, color) CANARIES
(1969, 4 minutes, 35mm, color) & FILM PORTRAIT 1971, 81 minutes, 35mm,
color. A pioneering work in autobiographical cinema; masterfully
combines actual and staged footage and painting over images. Filmmaker,
painter, and composer Jerome Hill was descended from the famous
railroad-building family and lived on the same street with F. Scott
Fitzgerald. Here he re-creates wonderfully – with old family footage –
the period and milieu of the American upper class at the beginning of
this century.

SOCCER LIKE NEVER BEFORE, BY HELLMUTH COSTARD
Long before the films Zidane and Kobe Doin' Work singularly followed
their titular characters, German filmmaker Hellmuth Costard made the
film that served as a model for both, Soccer Like Never Before (1970,
color, 105 min.), by following George Best through one match of
Manchester United in 1970. What better way to get away from the Super
Bowl then through this absorbing film of football as defined by the rest
of the world? Tickets: General $10, Students/seniors $6; free for
