BALTIC MODERNIST CINEMA: BETWEEN IMAGINARY AND REAL
One of the programs we planned to present theatrically in that faraway era that
was the Spring of 2020 was the first substantial NYC showcase devoted to the
Baltic cinema of the 1960s-70s. After a year-long postponement, we’ve
reconceived the series as an online program, which will encompass all nine of
the films – three each from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia – that were
originally selected by guest-curator Lukas Brasiskis. Traditional accounts of
world cinema of this era invariably emphasize filmmakers’ newfound
experimentation with the conventions of their medium, and their increasing
exploration of subjectivity, self-referentiality, abstraction, and radical new
approaches to storytelling. This type of cinema found its place in the Baltics
too, where a group of directors broke with the dominant conventions of
filmmaking that had previously held sway. During the second half of the 20th
century, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian filmmakers, many of whom graduated
from the Gerasimov
Institute of Cinematography, aka VGIK, left their mark on the history of
modernist European cinema, echoing the uncompromising film style of the various
global “New Waves” and, at the same time, implicitly reflecting the cultural
specificity of the Baltic states incorporated into the Soviet Union. Due to the
Iron Curtain, however, Baltic films would rarely reach Western screens.
Surprisingly, that has not changed even following the collapse of the Soviet
Union. While certain Soviet film auteurs have been much celebrated in the U.S.
and around the world, the Baltic filmmakers of the era have remained virtually
unknown. This series aims to remedy that situation, by showcasing nine feature
films – ranging from allegorical fictions to realist visions of the everyday –
by the most renowned Baltic film directors of the period. The program
introduces formal innovations and implicitly expressed political topics
characteristic to the Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian modernist cinema.
“Baltic
Modernist Cinema” is guest-programmed by Lukas Brasiskis, and presented in
collaboration with Gražina Michnevičiūtė, the Lithuanian Cultural Attaché in
USA; the Lithuanian Cultural Institute; the Lithuanian Film Center; the
National Film Centre of Latvia; and the Estonian Film Institute.

COUSINS AND KIN
series curated by the Cousin Collective The Cousin Collective was formed in
2018 by Adam Piron, Alex Lazarowich, Sky Hopinka and Adam Khalil. The question
of how to find other Indigenous filmmakers who are making work that is
experimental and exciting was where we began. How to support and share their
films is where we’re at now. The programs in the Cousins and Kin series are a
culmination and a survey of the moving images we’ve curated individually and
collectively over the years. We’re thankful to Steve Polta and San Francisco
Cinematheque for this opportunity and this platform.We’re very proud to share
these works, the artists and the conversations and communion they foster,
between each other as well as across nations and time. (Cousin Collective)

SPECIAL LIVE EVENT Monday, June 14 at 6pm (Pacific) A Conversation with Shelley
Niro interviewed by Adam Piron and Fox Maxy
www.sfcinematheque.org/video/livestream-cousins/ JOIN US! Whether it’s jumping
from performance art sequences to a mock-cable access show to a tongue-in-cheek
crime mystery, Shelley Niro’s rarely-screened Honey Moccasin (1998) melds
irreverent cinematic language from elements of pop culture and a distinct brand
of Native humor. Niro finds both an inviting exuberance and a playfulness in
its experimental approach to questions of identity. Taking no no authoritative
stance on delivering any kind of thesis on Indigeneity, the film seamlessly
weaves its way through a multitude of approaches to present a surreal spectrum
of subjective meaning. In its own open-endedness and the resulting nuance of
this approach, Niro’s film has cemented its reputation as an underground
classic of ‘90s Indigenous Cinema. (Adam Piron)
program four Anti-Ethnography program curated by Adam Khalil and Zack Khalil
program online June 16–July 15, 2021
For Indigenous peoples, the camera is a weapon that has been wielded against
them since the device’s inception. Anthropology’s obsession with preserving
images of so-called vanishing cultures, through ethnographic films or,
relatedly, archives filled with boxes of ancestral remains, has long been a
tool used to colonize and oppress Indigenous peoples. The ethnographer’s
encapsulating gaze ignores the fact that, for Indigenous communities, tradition
is not an immutable set of truths handed down by revelation, but a set of
ever-evolving social practices whose continuity cannot be repaired by
preservation, only elaborated through struggle and, finally, achieved under
conditions of genuine self-determination. In the works assembled for this
screening, the power of Indigenous people claiming the camera for themselves is
explored. Screening includes work by Guillermo Gómez-Peña; Tonia Jo Hall;
Shelley Niro; Diane Burns; Sky Hopinka; Kent Monkman; Axel Gerdau, Erik Olsen &
John Woo; Adam Khalil,
Zack Khalil & Jackson Polys; Olivia Camfield & Woodrow Hunt; Thirza Cuthand and
others.

FRAME & FREQUENCY VII
Frame & Frequency is an ongoing International New Media, Film, and Video Art
screening program curated by Frank McCauley and presented by VisArts. It
highlights the work of nine artists from across the Americas and Europe. These
new media, experimental film, and video works explore contemporary visual
culture, and present an intimate panorama of the variety and breadth of video
art in artistic practice today – including various themes such as
appropriation, blending personal narratives with pop cultural experiences,
simulation vs representation, repetition, identity and gender politics, as well
as formal investigations of film and video as mediums. Frame & Frequency aims
to present a diverse group of artists representing multi-generational and
cultural backgrounds, nationalities and personal histories, while demonstrating
the artists’ impressive command of video and new media technologies. This
edition includes artists: Roland Lauth with Bates Belk, Leslie Condon,
Alexander Fingrutd, Carlos

LUXANDO
Curated by Alexandra Gelis & Jorge Lozano LUXANDO. The first thoughts that came
to mind when we were planning this program were how in these troubled times,
living with the feeling that the future is what life used to be, and at the
same time, being compelled to think about new horizons of hope, imagining what
has not happened but should. And, combined with Audre Lorde’s quote “Poetry is
the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought”, became point
of entry and exit. How to give up control to allow encounters to produce
unexpected or unthought results? From the archives of CFMDC in Toronto, we
selected six experimental films made in celluloid 35mm, 16mm, and Super 8mm,
which share the poetics of embodiment, discontinuity, the indeterminate, analog
glitch, perturbations, gaps, scratches, repetitions, chaos, noise. And, to
provoke an encounter, we invited six South American artists who share these
poetic frictions, in their sound practice and asked them to respond to the
impact on their terms, to bring forth new possibilities. “LUXANDO” means to
dislocate, to get out of the frame, to get out of the structure, to get out of
oneself, out of juncture. —Alexandra Gelis and Jorge Lozano Including work by
Joyce Wieland, Malena Szalm, Madi Piller, Francisca Duran, Lindsay McIntyre,
Kelly Egan.

3 X HOLLY FISHER: OUT OF THE BLUE + DEAFENING SILENCE + SOFTSHOE FOR BARTOK
In November 2019, Anthology presented the most comprehensive retrospective to
date devoted to the work of Holly Fisher, whose films range freely between the
realms of documentary, essay film, personal meditations, and intricate
juxtapositions of imagery and text. As a kind of sequel to the earlier
retrospective, we’ll be focusing on Fisher’s work again this summer and fall,
beginning with an online presentation pairing two brand-new films, OUT OF THE
BLUE and SOFTSHOE FOR BARTOK, with an earlier film that has gained new
relevance in the context of current events, DEAFENING SILENCE. OUT OF THE BLUE
is a typically thought-provoking and contemplative work constructed from
seemingly disparate elements: imagery recorded from the window of a plane
during her trans-Atlantic travels, diary-like footage, found imagery and sound,
and onscreen texts. The result is a highly personal, open-ended meditation on
the passage of time, historical trauma, and liminal physical and emotional
spaces that embodies
Fisher’s radically multilayered approach: she juxtaposes multiple layers of
visual and aural materials not only to create a rich visual experience, but to
bring into play a dizzying and cross-pollinating array of ideas. The soundtrack
features composer Lois V Vierk’s long-form piece, “Words Fail Me,” a work
inspired by Vierk’s experience as an eyewitness to the fall of the World Trade
Center, twenty years ago. DEAFENING SILENCE partakes of some of the same
techniques to explore – firsthand as well as through the lens of the media –
the sociopolitical situation in Myanmar/Burma in the early 2000s, and the
oppression of the ethnic Karen population. The film features appearances from
some of the same figures – such as Maung Zarni – who have been prominent
commentators and witnesses during the more recent upheaval in Burma. As a
special bonus we’ll also present the brand-new short film, SOFTSHOE FOR BARTOK,
a digital reimagining of Fisher’s 16mm film “s o f t s h o e” (1987). In Septemb
er we plan to host Holly Fisher in person for theatrical screenings of OUT OF
THE BLUE, as well as her 2019 film, A QUESTION OF SUNLIGHT, which was made in
response to the events of 9/11. Both films feature music by Lois V Vierk. Stay

SONIC BIOGENESIS: GENOMICS AND MUTANT JUNGLES
Featuring Guillermo Galindo and The Living Earth Show Sunday, June 20, 2021,
7:00 - 8:00 PM Pacific Broadcast via livestream Followed by a live conversation
with the artists Presented in partnership with Kala Art Institute Sonic
Biogenesis: Genomics and Mutant Jungles features Guillermo Galindo’s “genome
scores” which consist of graphic representations of his musical compositions
and artwork merging textures of plants, animals, and microbes. These pieces
illustrate, in Galindo’s unique symbolic language, how research and data have
historically expressed and sustained systems of power, particularly relating to
colonialism. As a follow up to Galindo’s exhibition Dissonant Matter at Kala
Art Institute which closed early this year, Shapeshifters Cinema and Kala will
co-present a new iteration of Sonic Biogenesis, a performance by Guillermo
Galindo with The Living Earth Show—the new-music chamber ensemble consisting of
guitarist Travis Andrews and percussionist Andy Meyerson. Andrews and
Meyerson will play experimental sonic devices designed by Galindo. Animation by
Christoph Steger bringing Galindo’s “mutants” to life will weave through the
video. The online exhibition catalog Dissonant Matter is available for download
on Kala's website. The intention of this performance is to demonstrate how
science, while often considered to be neutral and objective, played – and
continues to play – a role in colonization and conquest. For instance,
naturalists were often motivated by the desire for new remedies to treat
European ailments (economic or medical) to continue their exploitation of the
“New World.” Similarly, biotech corporations today push the boundaries of
ethics and possibility as they seek to modify the environment and creatures to
best suit the needs of humans. The first iteration of Sonic Biogenesis, Sonic
Botany was a commission for the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time biennale. It was
a response to the exhibit “Visual Voyages: Images of Latin American Nature from
Columbus to Darwin,” which contained a collection of European codices that
visually cataloged the flora and fauna of the Americas. Galindo calls this body
of work an ethno-futurist “window to mutant environments” as he sees a direct
link to his artwork and the human-made environmental modifications that are
ushering societies around the world towards dystopian futures (events such as
Chernobyl, Fukushima, the patterns of Global Warming evident worldwide, as well
as the use of the gene-editing tool CRISPR).

EPHRAIM ASILI'S THE INHERITANCE
Pennsylvania-born filmmaker Ephraim Asili has been exploring different facets
of the African diaspora—and his own place within it—for nearly a decade. His
feature-length debut, The Inheritance, is a vibrant, engaging ensemble work
that takes place almost entirely within the walls of a West Philadelphia house
where a community of young people have come together to form a collective of
Black artists and activists. Based partly on Asili’s own experiences in a Black
liberationist group, the film interweaves a scripted drama of characters
attempting to work towards political consensus with a documentary recollection
of the Philadelphia liberation group MOVE, which was the victim of a notorious
police bombing in 1985. Asili’s film is an endlessly generative work of
politics, humor, and philosophy, referencing the legacies of the Black Arts
Movement and featuring Black authors and radicals, members of MOVE, as well as
poets Ursula Rucker and Sonia Sanchez. An NYFF58 selection. A Grasshopper Film
release. Note: Films are available in the U.S. and U.S. territories only. Users
