De Maisonneuve Est *Night Reels: Stacey Steers Exhibition* In a mystical and dreamlike atmosphere, the observation of the moon and the stars joins the magic of the pre-cinema. This fall, the world of Stacey Steers will enchant the two exhibition rooms of the Cinémathèque. The exhibition "focuses on three series that the American artist created around her latest films: *PHANTOM CANYON* (2006), *NIGHT HUNTER* (2011), and *EDGE OF ALCHEMY* (2017). In this triptych exhibition bringing together animated films, collages, astronomy instruments, and sculptures, Stacey Steers explores the world of cinema, its technological history, its imaginary, its icons. She pays tribute to emblematic female figures of early cinema, such as Lillian Gish or Janet Gaynor, whom she reintroduces into vegetal or surreal settings inspired by 19th century engravings." In conjunction with the exhibition, a retrospective of Steers' films will screen on Thursday 9/9. *___________________________________________________________________* *September 9 - October 23* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Mitchell-Innes & Nash <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=80ba07abe9&e=857b71a9cb> M-F 10am-6pm, ET, 534 W 26th Street *The Decay of Fiction by Pat O'Neill* Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to present *The Decay of Fiction* by Pat O’Neill, the Los Angeles-based artist and experimental filmmaker, whose work has been represented by the gallery since 2015. O’Neill has transformed his 2002 film of the same title into a five-channel installation, digitally scanning and recombining individual sections into a distinct, new work. Premiering in 2018, this will be the first showing in New York. For the five-channel presentation, O’Neill has rearranged the film into distinct components across which settings and actors recur alongside special effects such as animations and split screens. Set to an unremitting soundscape of moving traffic and birds, they offer an almost hallucinogenic amalgamation of now and then, and real and imagined. Their simultaneous unfolding offers further permutations of the composite imagery, eliminating for good any possibility of a linear narrative. A portrait of an architectural site facing imminent demolition, the multichannel installation embodies a hybrid genre where history and artifice coexist. Through its layered approach to documentation and collective memory, *The Decay of Fiction* honors the Ambassador Hotel as its own purveyor of fictions: a site for the production of illusions that, as O’Neill notes, “sometimes provided [people] with respite from their real lives, allowed fantasies to be developed and nurtured, and taught lessons about how to be human.” *___________________________________________________________________* *September 17 - October 21* Venue type: *Both physical and online* San Francisco Cinematheque <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=117200280c&e=857b71a9cb> varies, Roxie Theater *CROSSROADS 2021* presented by San Francisco Cinematheque curated by Steve Polta #xrds21 CROSSROADS 2021 is the twelfth manifestation of Cinematheque’s annual film festival.

They swap their colors, become more aggressive and highly destructive. At that moment, they do not want to keep a low profile, but instead get ready to swarm. 9 Programs are presented this year that will be installed and screened across the city, 78 films from 27 countries. One program looks at mental processes and perceptions of space and time in the digital world, while another investigates the hidden codes of city life. A third takes viewers out of space and time altogether; a fourth explores ideas of doublethink, comfort and fear, memory and image. These programs are thought of as site-specific screen happenings, interventions, and collaborations, and hope to offer exciting and alternative ways of navigating spaces around the city. Invoking a commitment to working and experimenting in the field, the genres of selected films will be spanning with diversity, that will include: Music videos, VR Films, Glitch Films, Performance films, Animation films, CGI Films, Narrative Films, Film essay, Covid-eo art, and Video poetry. In parallel, the publication accompanying this year’s Cairo Video Festival will include overviews and excerpts of longer pieces of academic research and artistic proposals, among other contributions, with one program containing textual intertitles that offers a parallel thread to the video works in language Works this year were nominated and selected by the festival’s team as well as the Selection and Programmers Committee: Eslam Hossam, Malak Helmy, Mena El Shazly, Mohamed Allam, and Ruairí O’Brien. *___________________________________________________________________* *October 1 - 31* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* aCinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=c8f171167c&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7, Event URL: https://www.acinema.space/current-program <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=88778c02cc&e=857b71a9cb> *The Mist That Carries Phantoms* OCTOBER 2021 PROGRAM *Post Soviet Zones [series 1]*, Jane Efremova, 2019 - (ongoing), video *Pandamonium*, Anna Joos + Ana Edwards, 2019, HD video, found footage + screen recordings *CHOREOGRAPHIC PATTERNS – Subliminal Message*, Ana Trincão, 2016, video *Lungs of Flowers*, Arvo Leo *Post Soviet Zones [series 2]*, Jane Efremova, 2019 - (ongoing), video *Toothless Resistance • The Friendship Tree*, Polina Kanis, 2021, video aCinema is a monthly exhibition dedicated to the screening of works by moving image artists from around the globe for audiences during the 9 month period of September to May. aCinema also organizes a yearly festival programmed from an open call for works titled, aDifferent festival.

The films’ selection is a collective process led by a group of CJC filmmakers who, with their expertise, select experimental films from a large number of films submitted every year from all over the world. The festival promotes cinematographies which focus on the creative act and endeavors to guide audiences by producing editorial contents. Since 1999, the festival is increasingly recognized internationally. This event is supported by the Region Île-de-France, the DRAC Île-de-France and the City of Paris.

Herself a mother of a Kazakh adoptee, Finley conjures a complex yet lyrical sense of space and time from the majestic landscape of the Steppes, from the local traditional culture, from the imagination of Soviet rocket science, and from the teens' own writings and performances. Opening the program are four premieres from Finley's long-time collaborator, *John Muse*, all the way out here from his professor's chair in Philadelphia! Muse's videos alternatively explore an interior landscape of anxiety and imagination via playful gestures and direct address: *American Breakfast*,* Alive*,* Duet*, and *giroscopio*. $8 *___________________________________________________________________* *October 9* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=f3ca1d3f2c&e=857b71a9cb> 3:45pm ET, 32 Second Avenue *EC: Stan Brakhage SONGS 1-15* *SONGS 1-14*, 1964-65, ca. 53 min, 8mm-to-16mm, silent “SONG 1: Portrait of a lady.

Long takes treat the different subjects - a dying house, a building or a city kept alive by their rites, a suburban community suffering from a wind turbine's flickers - from a sociological angle. Games a woman plays reflecting on her own identity exemplify this as well through varied techniques such as juxtapositions of photo and moving image, frames within frames, and split screen effects. *HUS* by Inger Lise HANSEN 1998 / 16mm / color / sound / 7' 30 *GO GO GO* by Marie MENKEN 1962-1964 / 16mm / color / silent / 11' 30 *BLOCK* by Emily RICHARDSON 2005 / DCP / color / sound / 12' 00 *OCEAN HILL DRIVE* by Miriam GOSSING & Lina SIECKMANN 2015-2016 / DCP / color / sound / 20' 49 *SYNTAGMA* by VALIE EXPORT 1983 / 16mm / color / sound / 18' 00 Screening introduced by Vivian Ostrovsky *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* UnionDocs <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d8e2aa7795&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm ET, 322 Union Avenue *Last Light of a Dying Star with Roger Beebe* We are so excited to join hands with Roger Beebe for a special birthday celebration performance of *Last Light of a Dying Star*! A multi-projector meditation on the mysteries of space, last shown in New York ten years ago to commemorate Roger Beebe’s 40th birthday, it will now be shown at UnionDocs to ring in another decade of his life! The show will also include the NYC premiere of the 4-projector *de rerum natura* (2019), which alternates between 16mm and video to ruminate on our troubled relationship to the natural world, and the 4 x 16mm work-in-progress, *Home Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry*, made using decorative tape purchased at Michael’s in Downtown Brooklyn. This multi-projector extravaganza will also kick off the performance-focused workshop Roger will lead in the following days, a delightful way for all of us to send off one year and ring in another with him! Note: Proof of vaccination required. *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=22badcaf48&e=857b71a9cb> 6:30pm ET, 32 Second Avenue *EC: THE ART OF VISION by Stan Brakhage* “Includes the complete *DOG STAR MAN* and a full extension of the singularly visible themes of it. Inspired by that period of music in which the word ‘symphonia’ was created and by the thought that the term, as then, was created to name the overlap and enmeshing of suites, this film presents the visual symphony that DOG STAR MAN can be seen as and also all the suites of which it is composed. But as it is a film, and a work of music, the above suggests only one of the possible approaches to it. For instance, as ‘cinematographer,’ at source, means ‘writer of movement,’ certain poetic analogies might serve as well. The form is conditioned by the works of art which have inspired DOG STAR MAN, its growth of form by the physiology and experiences (including experiences of art) of the man who made it. Finally, it must be seen for what it is.” –Stan Brakhage 1961-65, 261 min, 16mm, silent *___________________________________________________________________* *October 14 - 24* Venue type: *Both physical and online* Antimatter [media art] <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d82ec4ac88&e=857b71a9cb> varies, Deluge Contemporary Art, 636 Yates St Event URL: https://antimatter.squarespace.com/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=0fbfe788cd&e=857b71a9cb> *24th Antimatter [media art]* Encompassing screenings, installations, performances and media hybrids, Antimatter provides a noncompetitive setting in Victoria, British Columbia, free from commercial and industry agendas.

The materials showcased may include: texts, images, sounds, music, research notes, drawings, sculpture, found objects, film references, food recipes, news reports, text messages, accidental encounters, inspirations, conversations, arguments, dreams, etc. Existing in virtuality, *Adrift* is a borderless space for community building and broadening collective knowledge between filmmakers, artists, curators and enthusiasts. We are excited to announce Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner as our artists in residence this week. Working collaboratively since 2017, their films, texts and lectures focus on the moving image as a tool for the active production of new worlds. Their practice has been driven by questions about the thresholds between the body and its surroundings, knowledge regimes and power, modes of organizing and perceiving the natural world. The archive of unseen materials will be accessible through Bahía Colectiva’s online platform. The film screening and discussion on the exposed archive will be streamed through Los Angeles Filmforum’s website. Programmed by Bahía Colectiva. *Ticketing for **Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner: Sliding** Scale, requested $12 for general admission, $8 students/seniors, $0 for Filmforum members, at **https://watch.eventive.org/aaaestrella/play/6147db12d746b7004cdeab7c <https://watch.eventive.org/aaaestrella/play/6147db12d746b7004cdeab7c>* *Bilateria*, 2019, Digital, color, sound, 13 min *Outside*, Germany, Netherlands, 2019, Digital, color, sound, 14 min *Every Rupture*, Russia, U.K., 2020, Digital, color, sound, 13 min *A Demonstration*, Germany, Netherlands, U.K., 2020, Digital, color, sound, 25 min Total Runtime: 65 mins *___________________________________________________________________* *October 15 - 22* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* Imagine Science Film Festival <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=23fdcfda22&e=857b71a9cb> varies, Event URL: https://www.imaginesciencefilms.org/ny14/schedule <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=1ac26bb04b&e=857b71a9cb> *Imagine Science Film Festival* The 14th Annual Imagine Science Film Festival will take place from *Oct 15-22, 2021*.

The act of swimming against the current - not for futile reasons but to spark change and awareness. For our 14th annual festival, we will be exploring the act of resisting from both a micro and macro perspective. How does one withstand opposing forces that sometimes feel overwhelming? How does resistance measure a material's ability to resist the flow of electrons through it? How do organisms resist harmful influences such as disease, toxic agents or infection? How do we all express our resistance, either internally or externally? Though this subject is the special focus of this year's festival, we'll be featuring films, installations, and hybrid works of any and all other genres, methodologies, and subjects, as always that push the boundaries of the science narrative and embrace the spirit of the *Science New Wave <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=297c35990d&e=857b71a9cb>* .

They are inspired by historical processes invented in the 19th Century, and work with the fundamental elements of the photographic medium: Light, Time and Material. The exhibition brings together artists from Australia, France, Holland, Poland, Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The artists explore the materiality of the photograph through experimentation.

Which is / not surprising, a person might not, in the circumstances; / or at most a nod or something. Or they would. But they wouldn’t, / or you wouldn’t think to either, / it was Death.
