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) *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. *___________________________________________________________________* *June 12 - June 20* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *Dog Star Orchestra* https://dogstarorchestra.com/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=afed62503e&e=857b71a9cb> *DOG STAR ORCHESTRA* The Dog Star Film Screening showcases works that experiment with reforming the language of sound and moving image.

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 September 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. *___________________________________________________________________* *June 17 - June 27* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *Frameline45* https://www.frameline.org/festival/film-guide/dark-twisted-fantasies-x8020 <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=853cfa5d52&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7, *DARK AND TWISTED FANTASIES* presented in association with Frameline45 This digital screening is available to view anytime June 17–27, 2021 *Frameline45 suggests watching it at 10pm PDT on Thursday, June 24* A twink Beauty and a kink Beast, Joan Collins, post-gender aliens, naked wrestling, Narcissister and Narcissus, badass women stomping out the patriarchy, an eerie Internet date, a haunted social media investigation and an elusive, masculine-scented candle collide in this collection of weird, wild and wonderful queer shorts.

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). *___________________________________________________________________* *June 20 - June 27* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *Filmforum* http://www.lafilmforum.org/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=1f36812b11&e=857b71a9cb> streaming, *MEMORY IMAGING: EXPLORATIONS OF THE PERSONAL & COLLECTIVE* This program presents the work of filmmakers and artists Miko Revereza, Simon Liu, Suneil Sanzgiri, and Lei Lei as they grapple with notions of collective memory, diaspora, trauma, and identity.

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.

To celebrate it, we invited ourselves in residence at Mains d'Oeuvres (Saint-Ouen) in order to set up the Collectif Jeune Cinéma's Temporary Cinémathèque. More than a third of our catalog will be screened there, at the rate of one screening per week every Friday, and one full Saturday per month. There will be almost 80 screenings in all, with films from 2020 to 1943. Films will be shown in reverse chronological order, according to their production date and on their original format. Members of the CJC, all filmmakers, will welcome you in this space that we hope will be open to all : that's why the entrance fee is pay-what-you-want. At the end of each screening, there will be a discussion in the cinema or at the bar of Mains d'Oeuvres near to Paris. 25 of June Nou Voix ┃ Maxime Jean-Baptiste ┊ 2018 ┊ France┊ numérique ┊ 14'30 ► Dickhole┃ Nathan Hill ┊ 2018 ┊ Canada ┊ numérique ┊ 6'20 ► Hello everybody ┃ Juha van Ingen┊ 2017 ┊ France ┊ numérique ┊ 8'15 ► Empty Nightclub┃ Ben Edelberg┊ 2017 ┊ Canada┊ numérique ┊ 8' ► Interior Season ┃ Leyla Rodriguez┊ 2017 ┊ Allemagne/Argentine ┊ numérique ┊ 6'15 ► Dobrodošlica. ┃ Davorin Marc┊ 2017 ┊ Slovénie┊ numérique ┊ 2'40 ► The Space Shuttle Challenger┃ Cecilia Araneda ┊ 2017 ┊ Canada/Chili ┊ numérique ┊ 9’30 ► Diana’s Hair Ego Remix┃ Cheryl Dunye & Ellen Spiro┊ 2017 ┊ États-Unis ┊ numérique ┊ 8'30 ► The Stone Guest┃ Marina Fomenko┊ 2017 ┊ Russie ┊ numérique ┊ 8'20 *SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 2021* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *Filmwerkplaats, Rotterdam* https://worm.stager.nl/web/tickets/111082726 <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=648e6555de&e=857b71a9cb> 10am ET / 4pm CEST, *PHOTOGRAPHIC GARDEN #1: ALTERNATIVE IMAGE MAKING PROCESSES WITH HANNAH FLETCHER* Photographic Garden Alternative image making processes: lecturer: Hannah Fletcher Saturday 26 June 2021 / 16:00 A series of lectures & research workshops, filmic try-outs and presentations hosted by Filmwerkplaats, Rotterdam. The Photographic Garden project sees Filmwerkplaats researching (and developing) photochemical processes that do not unduly burden the environment. This involves developing processes based on plants and home-garden-kitchen ingredients with low toxicity. An alternative chemistry that will yield a different, new film aesthetic. One in which the (chemical) components and their origin come to the fore and the physical processing of the (film) emulsion during the DIY process is emphasised. Working with analogue film involves a large number of chemical processes. To make the invisible (latent) image that is formed by the exposure in the light-sensitive layer of photographic film material visible, a number of “development” steps are necessary. This laboriousness is an intrinsic part of the changed process of making film, the transformation from a once industrial production process to an artistic, hands-on (Do-It-Yourself) ‘alchemically’ oriented production process. It is this fascination with materials and processes that increasingly characterizes analogue film culture. Film as an empirical and tactile research field, a photochemical playground! There will be 6 online public lectures open to anybody with an interest in film. Tickets are FREE 26 June 2021 Saturday 16:00-18:00 CEST- Lecture 1 Lecture link: https://zoom.us/j/98244616002?pwd=Skc1d2dtRldKeHZRdVRUVFlDRm5vUT09 Ticket buyers will find the code to join the zoom on their ticket. PLEASE SAVE THIS ZOOM LINK TO USE WITH YOUR PASSWORD! Alternative image making processes: lecturer: Hannah Fletcher In this lecture, Hannah will discuss ways in which images can be made by and held within non conventional substrates, byproducts and organic materials. The session will encourage research and experimentation using organic techniques and processes that have recently been tested in the experimental photography circuit to see if it is possible to transfer these to the medium of film. Processes in which characteristics of a certain plant or fungi can be utilised in the image making, such as spore printing, anthotypes, chlorophyll printing and soil chromatography. This topic is dedicated to direct film, a method in which the artist works directly on the surface of a piece of film, using the base as a carrier of images. Hannah Fletcher Hannah Fletcher is a London based artist, working with cameraless photographic processes, initiator of The Sustainable Darkroom, Co-director of London Alternative Photography Collective and a facilitator of sustainability within the arts. Hannah Fletcher’s work intertwines organic matter such as soils, algae, mushrooms and roots into analogue photographic mediums and surfaces. She does this while simultaneously exploring environmentally and ecologically-focused issues. Working in an investigative, pseudo scientific and environmentally conscious manner, Hannah combines scientific techniques with photographic processes, creating a dialogue between the poetic and political. *Upcoming Lectures* -Silver-gelatin (light sensitive) emulsion making - Lecturer: Esther Urlus -Developing with plants - Lecturer: Ricardo Leite -Tinting toning with plants and other materials from nature - Lecturer: Joanna Mayes -Pioneering to capture an image with light - Lecturer: Mark Osterman -Regenerating outdated film materials - Lecturer: Adrian Cousins *ONGOING* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *Film at Lincoln Center Virtual Cinema* https://virtual.filmlinc.org/film/the-inheritance/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=1b939fac3a&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7 *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.
