Leo was a lifelong movie lover who started making 8mm films with his brother Jim (J.T.) when they were kids. He attended CalArts in the 1970s and was also a crucial figure in the early days of Pittsburgh Filmmakers, where he developed a distinctive style of filmmaking reflecting a breadth of cinematic and historical influences. His work can varyingly be described as experimental, narrative, documentary, found footage, b-movie (and sometimes all at once) but it is consistently visionary. Yet his films have been almost entirely unseen for over 30 years, so we are honored to be able to present every extant, complete Leo Vale movie. Of particular note is the world premiere of a brand new 2K digital transfer of Leo’s most well-remembered film, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, a brilliantly edited, shot-on-a-shoestring adventure spectacle that reimagines Pittsburgh’s South Side as the site of holy fortress under attack from an airplane gunner. Leo’s family and friends will join hosts Matthew R. Day and Steven Haines for a remembrance. The live program will be broadcast free of charge to the Jump Cut Theater Twitch stream starting at 7 PM on Tuesday, August 10th. A recording of the event will remain viewable online until 8/24. www.twitch.tv/jumpcuttheater *___________________________________________________________________* *August 11 - August 17* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* National Gallery of Art <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=bdec0577af&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7, Event URL: https://www.nga.gov/calendar/film-programs/spring-2021/war-weather-the-crack-up.html <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=04b25ff890&e=857b71a9cb> *The Crack-Up and War and the Weather* * Jonathan Schwartz*The Crack-Up Taking its name from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1936 autobiographical essay, Jonathan Schwartz’s *The Crack-Up* is a powerful cinematic excursion through fear, near-collapse, and transformation. Reflecting on life’s “process of breaking down,” the film is extremely personal, yet also a commentary on the political and climate crises of this early 21st century. With awe-inspiring 16mm footage of glaciers, monumental snow-covered landscapes, and an icy, roiling sea, The Crack-Up alternates strident sounds and brash rhythms and gestures of the camera with moments of arresting fragility and grace. (Jonathan Schwartz, 2017, 18 minutes). With special thanks to Irina Leimbacher. * Enid Baxter Ryce*War and the Weather Artist Enid Baxter Ryce created an experimental documentary with a musical score by Philip Glass to portray, in moving images, the history of “atmospheric rivers,” or streams of water vapor in the sky. Just like rivers that move water around on the land, atmospheric rivers—never visible to the naked eye—were a vital force in shaping the colonization of the American West. Today, the evolving scientific and cultural understandings of atmospheric rivers exemplify the complexity and importance of the stories we tell ourselves about science, climate, and the natural world. This film was created at the Days and Nights Festival held at the Philip Glass Center for the Arts, Science, and the Environment. (Enid Baxter Ryce, 2020, 65 minutes) *___________________________________________________________________* *August 12 - August 15* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=53140d49b5&e=857b71a9cb> 7pm + 9pm ET, 32 Second Avenue *SUPERIMPOSITIONS 1964* 1964 brought about the release of two pioneering superimposition films: FILM NO. 14 (LATE SUPERIMPOSITIONS) by artist, animator, and mystic Harry Smith, and CHUMLUM by bohemian film legend Ron Rice. Both feature mesmerizing, complex, and psychedelic in-camera Kodachrome layering set to memorable soundtracks. While the two films share a lot in common and are among the most celebrated experimental films of that era, they have rarely screened together. For this program, we’ll be pairing these seminal films in glorious new 16mm-to-35mm blow-ups, and further contextualizing them with shorts by two other trailblazing (if under-recognized) New York City filmmakers – Barbara Rubin and Jerry Jofen – who also worked wonders with the technique of superimposition. Special thanks to The Film Foundation, Simon Lund (Cineric, Inc.), and John Polito (Audio Mechanics). *Harry Smith* FILM NO. 14 (LATE SUPERIMPOSITIONS) 1964, 28 min, 16mm-to-35mm. Restored by Anthology Film Archives and The Film Foundation with funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. Restoration premiere! “Superimposed photographs of Mr. Fleischman’s butcher shop in New York, and the Kiowa around Anadarko, Oklahoma – with Cognate Material. The strip is dark at the beginning and end, light in the middle, and is structured 122333221. I honor it the most of my films, otherwise a not very popular one before 1972.” –Harry Smith *Ron Rice* CHUMLUM 1964, 23 min, 16mm-to-35mm. With Jack Smith, Beverly Grant, Mario Montez, Joel Markman, Frances Francine, Guy Henson, Barry Titus, Zelda Nelson, Gerard Malanga, Barbara Rubin, and Frances Stillman. Music by Angus MacLise. Restored by Anthology Film Archives and The Film Foundation with funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. “In a house that one could believe was created just for the purpose, Rice gives us an infinite spectacle, superimposing bodies swinging in hammocks, back and forth through diaphanous gossamer draperies that slow the movements, and suspend them on the edge of the abyss.” –Rene Micha, LES TEMPS MODERNES Preceded by: *Barbara Rubin* [REEL 5347] ca. 1964, 4 min, 16mm, silent.

Adams Sitney, VISIONARY FILM “All of [Anger’s] films have been evocations or invocations, attempting to conjure primal forces which, once visually released, are designed to have the effect of ‘casting a spell’ on the audience. […] Not a surrealist who puts blind faith in his own dream images and trusts his dreams to convey an ‘uncommon unconscious,’ Anger works predominantly in archetypal symbol. As the magus, he is the juggler of these symbols, just as in the Tarot, where the Magician is represented by the Juggler and is given the attribution of Mercury, the messenger.” –Carel Rowe, FILM QUARTERLY FIREWORKS (1947, 15 min, 16mm-to-35mm, b&w.

The festival is dedicated to analogue cinema, celebrating the physical medium of film in all its personal, adventurous and uncompromising forms. The first of a kind in Baltics, for the fourth time Process will provide five days of film screenings, expanded cinema performances, lectures, discussions as well as a two day expanded cinema workshop on the weekend before the festival on August 14-15. This year the overall theme of the festival is "End Of The World", reflecting both on different kinds of loss and a possibility of something new. Along with special focus programmes and events, the festival has three non-competitive short film programmes for which everyone working with analogue film in any kind of unconventional way is welcome to submit their work related to this year's theme. Process is organised by Baltic Analog Lab which is an artist-run film laboratory based in Riga, in collaboration with guest-curators and artists differing each year. This year the programmes will be selected by Erwin van't Hart from Rotterdam IFF and Tommaso Isabella – a freelance curator of Filmmaker IFF (Milan), as well as Lāsma Bērtule and Ieva Balode – members of Baltic Analog Lab. The festival is organised by Baltic Analog Lab Main support comes from the State Culture Capital Foundation. *___________________________________________________________________* *August 18 - August 25* Venue type: *Virtual, online event, UK geolock* Edinburgh International Film Festival <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=fdd295b384&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7, Event URL: https://www.filmhouseathome.com/tv/black-box-shorts-interruptions/1 <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=3fd674631d&e=857b71a9cb> *Black Box Shorts: Interruptions* Nine immersive works that engage with, reconfigure or subvert, the grammar and processes of moving image making, applying the tools of repetition, layering, circularity and physical contact, to strikingly inventive ends.

San Francisco Cinematheque returns to public screenings, joining forces with sister org Canyon Cinema as they inaugurate Canyon at the Roxie, a monthly series of monographic screenings featuring Bay Area filmmakers past and present! This inaugural edition of Canyon at the Roxie is dedicated to Cinematheque’s and Canyon’s founding filmmaker, Bruce Baillie (1931-2020), who brought to life exceptional works of film art and a thriving cinema counterculture. Beginning in the late 1950s, Baillie created a vagabond, romantic, first-person filmmaking style that continues to enchant and influence new generations drawn to the artistic possibilities of the 16mm film medium. Beginning with a visit to the filmmaker’s editing bench and a few words from Dr. Bish himself, this memorial screening focuses attention on some of Baillie’s lesser-known lyrical films (Little Girl, Still Life) and Canyon Newsreels (Termination), culminating with two of his distinctly different masterpieces: the expansive, densely-layered Quixote and the compact, elegant All My Life. A wandering poet, Bruce Baillie was also an inveterate community builder. >From the ambitious yet unassuming 1961 screenings presented by Baillie and friends in the rural East Bay community of Canyon, California emerged two essential institutions of American independent filmmaking: San Francisco Cinematheque and the Canyon Cinema Co-op. In addition to marking the 60th anniversary of these sister organizations, this program coincides with the release of Canyon’s newest publication. Dear Folks: Notes and Letters from Bruce Baillie collects some of Baillie’s many dispatches to and about Canyon Cinema, ranging from a 1962 announcement co-signed with Chick Strand to voicemail messages left on Canyon’s office answering machine in the last years of his life. The bulk of this material derives from the Canyon Cinemanews, which began in 1962 as a newsletter to solicit and circulate “fugitive information” related to a fledgling independent film movement. Years before Canyon was formally organized as a distribution cooperative, the lively pages of the Cinemanews demonstrated that there was such a community of filmmakers to be incorporated. (Canyon Cinema) *Introduction to the Holy Scrolls* (1998) video, color, sound, 10 minutes, exhibition file from Canyon Cinema Bruce Baillie edits film and talks to the audience. This video work was often used by the filmmaker to introduce, in his absence, film programs scheduled in distant venues. Created also as an formal introduction to an 11-hour archival collection of unfinished films. (Canyon Cinema) *Show Leader* (1966) 16mm, b&w, sound, 1 minute, print from Canyon Cinema A repeated shot of me in a stream talking to the audience, used as an introduction to Baillie film programs. (Bruce Baillie) *Little Girl *(1966) 16mm, color, sound, 9 minutes, print from Canyon Cinema This film by Bruce Baillie, completed in 1966 but unreleased until 2014, is contemporaneous with *Castro Street*, but is much more formally connected to *All My Life* or *Still Life*, also from the same year. In three sections with three different formal strategies, Baillie shares distilled moments of found natural beauty as he encountered them in the North Bay outside San Francisco. The first section features a study of plum blossoms, rendered in rich, multiple superimpositions that allow the white flowers to explode into a blizzard of visual complexity, framed by a panning shot of purple mountains. In the second section, Baillie allows us a furtive glimpse of the titular little girl, waving to cars with her dog on the side of the road, lost in her world and thoughts. Bruce’s framing remains unadorned, feeling no need to add to or take away from a beautiful piece of simple portraiture. The third section, of waterbugs on the surface of a pond, remind us how remarkable and sensitive Baillie’s camerawork can be, as he observes their graceful dances, and the subtle light and water effects they produce by their movements. (Mark Toscano) *Termination* (1966) 16mm, b&w, sound, 5 minutes, print from Canyon Cinema [Paul] Tulley and I made this film for some people up at the Laytonville Rancheria. They were being “terminated” under a new Bureau of Indian Affairs program. (Bruce Baillie) *Still Life* (1966) 16mm, color, sound, 2 minutes, print from Canyon Cinema >From the commune life at Morning Star, where I made Castro Street. (Bruce Baillie) *Quixote* (1965) 16mm, color, sound, 45 minutes, print from Canyon Cinema One-year journey through the land of incessant progress, researching those sources which have given rise twenty years later to the essential question of survival.
