The artwork “uses the venerable storytelling form of hand shadows, and features silhouettes of hands holding assorted flowers and plant cuttings. In the sequence of images, the silhouettes morph into kaleidoscopic patterns, turning the tower into one huge flower.” Her work will be on the Salesforce Tower every night in July from Midnight – 1am. *___________________________________________________________________* *July 17* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=c2c1de18b8&e=857b71a9cb> 8PM, 992 VALENCIA ST *Other Cinema: OPTRONICA¹: A/V ART: LAITALA + QUILLIAN + COX +* On Sat.

The subjects are: Irving Gill’s 1916 Dodge House, in Los Angeles; the 1929 Warsaw residence designed by Bohdan Lachert and Józef Szanajca; and the Migishi Atelier and the Bunzo Yamaguchi House, in Tokyo, designed by Iwao Yamawaki and Bunzo Yamaguchi, respectively, in the 1930s and ‘40s. The filmmakers are: writer, Esther McCoy; artist, Susanne Bürner; and architect and professor at the Bauhaus-Universität, Weimar, Verena von Beckerath, in collaboration with colleagues Niklas Fanelsa, Momoko Yasaka, Maximilian von Zepelin, and Jens Franke—themselves artists, architects, designers, and filmmakers. The program looks at the way these building films are used to understand, record, and transmit an experience of architectural space. *SUNDAY, JULY 18, 2021* *July 18 - July 19* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *World Listening Day* 24hr live stream, Event URL: https://www.worldlisteningproject.org/world-listening-day-2021-24-hour-stream/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=b2020f9e2b&e=857b71a9cb> *World Listening Day* Tune in to the 2021 edition of World Listening Day´s 24h 24h livestream this Sunday, July 18th World Listening Day – a 24 hour broadcast is a community reflection and celebration of sound, creativity and listening on July 18, a date chosen to honor one of the early leaders in acoustic ecology, music and sound studies, Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer. Among the self-organized and initiated personal celebrations, and local live and public events taking place around the world, the World Listening Project has curated a 24-hour online audio and video broadcast from contributions received in response to its open call, reflecting this year’s theme, “The Unquiet Earth.” ABOUT WORLD LISTENING DAY 2021: Each year a theme is created by someone with a deep connection to the act of listening. Lisbon-based filmmaker, curator and researcher, Raquel Castro, created the theme for 2021. “The Unquiet Earth” is an invitation to reflect on and engage with the constant murmur of the Earth, sounds beyond the threshold of human hearing, to remind ourselves that we share this mysterious and awesome planet. Castro shares that, “Small, hidden, subterranean, aerial, underwater, infra and ultrasonic sounds, inaudible to the naked ear, can bring a new, potentially hopeful, perspective on the future of the planet and humanity. Listening as activism encourages us to question our attitudes as listeners as we aim to construct a more inclusive and empathetic new world. Join the unquiet revolution!” *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *GearWax* https://gutsyradio.org/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=c704c796c3&e=857b71a9cb> 6pm-8pm PT, *GEARWAX: OLD VINYL, REPURPOSED* A bi-weekly online radio program featuring old LPs, 45rpm and 78rpm records.

A warm belly on a cold rock. Do you remember what it was like to run so fast that you can hear your heart beating in your head? An examination of texture, the internal, and the floating bits on the tops of your eyes. These films showcase the idea of play, pain, and the memory of an outside world materially experienced, not unlike dairy cows experiencing grass for the first time in a year. Sunning is considered a comfort behavior in many animals. A tactile experience of facing the sun to warm oneself raises body temperature and reduces heart rate. After a prolonged period of languid gestures, we need to bask to remember. This program showcases films that warm up our bodies, hearts, and minds slowly re-acclimatizing to the world from outside. Using light, animation, and emotional memories, these filmmakers explore the tangible possibilities of a world best experienced through touch. This program presents the work of filmmakers and artists Anouk De Clercq and Tom Callemin, Elena Duque, Anu-Laura Tuttelberg, Timoteo Guillem, Josh Cloud, and Nazlı Dinçel. Programmed by Jordan Wong & Sam Gurry. Ticketing for Comfort Behavior: Sliding Scale, requested $12 for general admission, $8 students/seniors, $0 for Filmforum members, at https://watch.eventive.org/comfortbehavior/play/60e77ed5a748f1008d8084cc *___________________________________________________________________* *July 22 - August 1* Venue type: *Both physical and online* Museum of the Moving Image <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=97b2d02599&e=857b71a9cb> various, 36-01 35 Avenue Astoria, NY 11106Event URL: http://www.movingimage.us/programs/2021/07/22/detail/first-look-2021/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d43afc3599&e=857b71a9cb> *First Look 20/21* First Look, the Museum's acclaimed festival of innovative new international cinema, introduces New York audiences to formally inventive works that seek to redefine the art form while engaging in a wide range of subjects and styles.

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 may have up to two registered devices.
