PAUL CLIPSON / TASHI WADA
Paul Clipson and Tashi Wada present a performance of their ongoing film
and music collaboration. Clipson's largely improvised and in-camera
edited films employ multiple exposures, dissolves and macro imagery,
that bring to light subconscious preoccupations and unexpected visual
forms. Wada's recent work focuses on sound perception as a basis for
direct listening experiences. Also on the program are three of Paul
Clipson's short films, Sphinx on the Seine, Light from the Mesa, and one
other tba. $5

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: FILM PORTRAIT
by Jerome Hill 1971, 81 minutes, 35mm Assistant Producers: David C.
Stone and Barbara Stone. This pioneering work in autobiographical cinema
masterfully combines actual and staged footage and painting over images.
Filmmaker, painter, and composer Jerome Hill was born into the famous
James J. Hill railroad-building family and lived on the same street as
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 the 20th century. With: DEATH IN THE FORENOON (1934/66, 2
minutes, 35mm) CANARIES (1969, 4 minutes, 35mm) [Please note: This is an

REASON OVER PASSION
A RAISON AVANT LA PASSION / REASON OVER PASSION 1969, 84 minutes, 16mm.
"REASON OVER PASSION is structured around four distinct sections, with a
loosely constructed preface that introduces the motifs Wieland employs
consistently throughout the film: strobing images of the Canadian flag;
long shots of passing landscapes; and the lyrics to 'O Canada',
didactically presented as overlayed text. Followed by a silent take of
the artist's face reflected in a mirror, singing the opening lines to 'O
Canada', the origins of the title of the film are presented: a quote
from Trudeau, in which he stated 'About reason over passion, that is the
theme of all of my writings.'" –Anne Low "Wieland's major film so far.
With its many eccentricities, it is a glyph of her artistic personality;
a lyric vision tempered by an aggressive form and a visionary patriotism
mixed with ironic self parody. It is a film to be seen many times." –P.
Adams Sitney, FILM CULTURE

JOYCE WIELAND PROGRAM 4
"Joyce Wieland's four films PIERRE VALLIÈRES, A & B IN ONTARIO,
SOLIDARITY and BIRDS AT SUNRISE were created when the Canadian Women's
Movement was at its most visible and vocal. They were made as a direct
response to hegemony, colonialism, sexism, imperialism and the
destruction of the environment – issues that feminists across the
country were writing about, protesting about, lobbying around and, in
Wieland's case, making films about." –Allyson Mitchell PIERRE VALLIÈRES
(1972, 32.5 minutes, 16mm) SOLIDARITY (1973, 10.5 minutes, 16mm) A & B
IN ONTARIO (with Hollis Frampton) (1984, 16 minutes, 16mm, b&w) BIRDS AT

SLIMEY GREEN HALLOWEEN
CHRISTIAN DIVINE'S ECO-HORROR SPOOKTACULAR + Apropos of OC's love of all
things psychotronic, thee Area expert on '70s exploitation film
enthralls all with a fanboy-critical take on the eco-dystopian genre,
that cinematic mutation of the era's budding environmentalism. Divine
nimbly negotiates his way through a 2-hour clip-show of that decade's
most toxic shockers, parables that parlayed the pollution of nature into
an embodied force of evil. Among the jaw-droppers are Them!, Soylent
Green, Willard, Piranha, Stalker (!), and Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster.
Come early for Doug Katelus on his Mighty Hammond organ, glimpses of
Gamera (in 16mm), OCD Terror DVDs for a pittance, and intoxicating
witches' brew! $6.66. NOTE: DOORS 7:30, SHOWTIME 8PM.

DISTRIBUTING THE AVANT-GARDE: THE CREATIVE FILM SOCIETY
In person: Angie Pike Film historian Anthony Slide, while writing an
appraisal letter for the film collection of late 1960's film distributor
Creative Film Society, stated that "Any student researching the rise of
the independent and experimental American film in the 1960s and 1970s
would find this collection invaluable, and it is unlikely that a
collection of this scope exists elsewhere. It is in many ways a tribute
to a filmmaking experience that has disappeared." Films to be screened:
Gumbasia, by Art Clokey (1955), Furies, by Sara Petty (1977), Carnival,
by Donald Bevis, Jim May, Herb Bertel (ca.1955), The Further Adventures
of Uncle Sam, by Dale Case & Robert Mitchell (1970), One Hundred and
Eight Movements, by Peggy Wolff (1973), The Unicycle Race, by Robert
Swarthe (1966), Microsecond, by Dan McLaughlin (1970), The Towers, by

6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
THE FAR SHORE
THE FAR SHORE 1976, 105 minutes, 35mm. A consummate expression of
Wieland's artistic sensibility, a gorgeous, painterly film, formal in
conception, deliberate in its flagrant symbolism (the rigid imposition
of WASP power on French-Canadian culture) and portrayal of Canadian
myths (the mystery of Tom Thomson's drowning in Algonquin Park), and
exuding romantic naturalism. This northern love story, rooted in the
landscape of the Group of Seven and the realities of the Canadian
experience, is a tale of passion both carnal and artistic. "A vast and
epic meditation on all those 'big' themes that constantly abound:
gender, romance, ethnicity, nationality, French-English relations, and
the unsavory relationship between art and commerce. … This is a rare
opportunity to experience a seminal oeuvre in the history of Canadian
film by one of our country's most diverse, powerful, patriotic, and
renowned artists. The film is not only an agitational look at some of
the most omnipresent issues in Canadian popular culture and social life,
but also a gorgeous painterly visual object that deserves the full
attention of ears and eyes." –TIFF CINEMATHEQUE

TIMES FOR
by Stephen Dwoskin 1970, 80 minutes, 16mm Distributed in the UK by David
C. Stone and Barbara Stone. In this rarely-screened film by the
important UK avant-garde filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin, "an unfulfilled man
renders himself to the unrealized sensuality of four women. In his
drifting search he fails and fades in the same loneliness as the women.
The film is the reality and a metaphor for the intensities of sexual
experience." –S.D. "His camera is a never-static instrument of his
intrusion into the fantasy/reality of the relationships he is dealing
with and forming. … TIMES FOR is one of the few erotic masterpieces."

SUZAN PITT AND JIM TRAINOR: A CONVERSATION IN LIGHT AND DARKNESS
Jack H. Skirball Series $10 [students $8, CalArts $5] West Coast
premiere Suzan Pitt and Jim Trainor have brought the art of animation to
new levels of artistic maturity and depth, and their films entertain
haunting correspondences with each other. Pitt's Visitation (2011)
allows a glimpse into the strange and surrealist aura of "an outer-world
night." Her earlier El Doctor (2006, 35mm), which takes place in
crumbling Mexican hospital, is a visual poem traveling between
desperation and dark comedy. In Alpert Award winner Jim Trainor's The
Presentation Theme (2008), a Peruvian prisoner of war is outmaneuvered
by a blood-drinking priestess. Also by Trainor: Harmony (2004), about
animal and human guilt; The Magic Kingdom (2002), imagined in a
blue-green jungle; and The Moschops (2000), a rueful account of faux
prehistoric creatures. In person: Suzan Pitt, Jim Trainor Curated by
Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud. "[Pitt's] animation is a visual orgy…
A luscious ice cream cone dripping with despair, surreality, hope and
redemption." —Animation Nation "A quirky, original vision of human and
animal nature…. Trainor's lines and shapes don't simply waver—they
pulsate." Heads and bodies change shape as if they were ready to burst
in some kind of growth spurt." —Fred Camper, Chicago Reader

RICHARD SERRA FILMS--EARLY WORKS
Introduced by Alison Gass, assistant curator of painting and sculpture,
SFMOMA Primarily known for his sculptures, Serra also has worked in
film. This screening showcases his early experimental works, including
his first film, Hand Catching Lead (1968), which shows the artist trying
to catch pieces of falling lead. Serra struggles under the weight of a
lead cylinder in Hand Lead Fulcrum (1968). In Frame (1969), he
illustrates the perceptual gap between the camera lens and the naked
eye. He collaborates with Philip Glass in Hands Scraping (1968), in
which the two methodically sweep a pile of steel shavings. Several other
titles drawn from the Museum of Modern Art, New York, film library will
round out the program. Museum and program admission are free.

practitioners of digital cinema working today, visits Digimovies to
present a selection of his serene, impressionistic new video pieces.
Selections TBA. "Rarely does a filmmaker appreciate and explore the
complexities of sound and image as equally -- and deeply -- as Leighton
Pierce." - Harvard Film Archive// "I make films and videos that are
short experiences in transformative time. I strive to capture an active
and immediate emotional state during shooting, often by photographing
seemingly mundane activities. In editing, I distill the images to get
what I call 'emotionally charged nodes.'" - Leighton Pierce// Tickets

Chicago, Illinois: Conversations at the Edge
http://www.saic.edu/cateblog
6pm, Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State Street
GREGORY MARKOPOULOS: ENIAIOS II
Archival print! Remembered as the "supreme erotic poet" of the American
avant-garde, Gregory Markopoulos spent decades creating his monumental
film Eniaios, an eighty-hour composition of twenty-two cycles. Eniaios
(meaning "unity" or "uniqueness") was originally conceived for screening
at Temenos, Markopolous's open-air theater in the hills overlooking
Lyssaraia, Greece. Silent yet sensuous, the film journeys through a host
of imagery, including pulses of white light, passages of black,
fragments of earlier works, and images of sacred places. Markopoulos
died before Eniaios could be printed and his partner, filmmaker Robert
Beavers, has spent the last two decades restoring the work. Only six of
the twenty-two film orders have been printed thus far. Tonight's
screening of Eniaios II — the second cycle in the piece and an epic film
in its own right — affords a rare opportunity to view Markopoulos's
magnum opus in the making. Gregory Markopoulos, 1949-1991, Greece/USA,
16mm, 125 min + discussion. Eniaios VI – VIII will premiere June 29 –
July 1, 2012 at the Temenos in Lyssarea (Arcadia) Greece. For more info,

ALL DIVIDED SELVES
Luke Fowler ALL DIVIDED SELVES 2011, ca. 90 minutes (work-in-progress),
video. The social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s were spearheaded
by the charismatic, guru-like figure of R.D. Laing. In "The Politics of
Experience" (1967) Laing argued that normality entailed adjusting
ourselves to the mystification of an alienating and depersonalizing
world. Thus, those society labels as 'mentally ill' are in fact
'hyper-sane' travelers, conducting an inner voyage through aeonic time.
Looking variously at the media representations of psychiatry and Laing's
own shifting viewpoints, the film is constructed equally from archival
material and footage of the filmmaker's daily life.

7 PM, 712 Main Street
WASTELAND UTOPIAS W/ FILMMAKER DAVID SHERMAN IN PERSON
Wasteland Utopias explores the intersection of two radically different
utopian thinkers: mega-developer Del Webb and outsider
psychiatrist/naturalist Wilhelm Reich. Each found his way into southern
Arizona's Sonoran Desert in the late 1950s—Webb building his colossal,
panoptically-planned retirement community Sun City and Reich conducting
his weather manipulation experiments using Orgone Energy. This unlikely
pairing provokes a hallucinatory, magic-conceptualist examination of the
disintegrating fabric that connects man with nature, evoking questions
about both ecological and social sustainability. Using found footage,
documentary interviews, and narrative tableaux, the film interweaves
contradictory narratives and critically poetic observations. By
juxtaposing these two thinkers—who represent ostensibly opposing visions
of a still-undefined future—Sherman asks viewers to consider a
multiplicity of perspectives on our endangered natural and social
environments. The filmmaker, David Sherman, will be in town for a tasty
Q&A session.

MESO-AMERICAN MEMORY
HISTORIES OF YANQUI WALKER + JESSE LERNER'S MAYA + Here's the Cali
premiere of Kathryn Ramey's Yanqui Walker and the Optical Revolution, a
revelatory experimental doc on the infamous imperialist adventurer who
seized Nicaragua. A hand-processed COLOR 16mm work, Ramey's lyrical
essay is preceded by (in person) Martha Wallner and Jeff Skoller's
updating of their Xchange TV project⎯bi-national Nicaraguan
history lessons that also address the Walker episode. An excerpt from
Alex Cox' legendary Clash-cast Walker completes the triptych. Opening
the show, our globe-trotting compadre Jesse Lerner initiates the Central
American theme with the book-launch of his Maya of Modernism, on Mayan
indigenous design in 20thCentury art and architecture, with copious
cultural-anthropological clips and scenes from Eisenstein's ¡Que Viva
México!.
