The cinema is for us an overflowing poetic experience, a place of possibilities where alternatives of well-being can arise for our lives and for our communities. Therefore, in this context of crisis, we believe that cinema is a luminous experience that can help us to continue living and that it is possible in our homes, in our intimate and everyday spaces.

Each artist focuses on materiality within their practice. 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.

The exhibition will premiere a new video work, *Hemlock *(2021), as well as a new installation of Thornton’s influential cycle *Peggy and Fred in Hell* (1983–2015). In a career spanning nearly five decades, Leslie Thornton has produced an influential body of work in film and video. Her early encounters with experimental, structuralist, and cinéma vérité traditions as a student in the 1970s fueled her iconoclastic take on the moving image and gave shape to her practice of weaving together her own footage and voice with archival film and audio. In part through her forceful and dynamic use of sound, Thornton exposes the limits of language and vision in her works, while acknowledging the ways that language and vision nevertheless remain central to scientific discourse and narrative in general. Engaging these themes within a focused survey, Thornton’s List Center exhibition will mark the artist’s first US solo museum exhibition and most comprehensive presentation to date. The relationship between technology, power, and violence is an enduring concern for Thornton. In early works, such as *X-TRACTS* (1975), *All Right You Guys* (1976) and *Jennifer, Where Are You?* (1981), Thornton contends with the basic conditions of representation in film and how the camera itself wields power. In *Let Me Count the Ways* (2004–ongoing) and *Cut >From Liquid to Snake* (2018), Thornton takes up the United States’ history of nuclear warfare—a subject fraught with personal resonance for her, as both her father and grandfather were involved in the Manhattan Project, the top-secret effort that produced the atomic bombs that the U.S. dropped on Japan in the final days of World War II. A touchstone of experimental film, *Peggy and Fred in Hell *is a multi-chapter work that surfaces the Cold War-era anxieties that shaped Thornton’s formative years and plumbs the psychological impact of technology in postwar America. Thornton’s recent film *Ground* (2020) embeds the voice of a physicist discussing particle decay within elegant yet foreboding technological landscapes. The exhibition’s title, *Begin Again, Again*—borrowed from a line in *Peggy and Fred in Hell*—alludes to human-made cycles of destruction and renewal as well the hallmarks of Thornton’s practice: an accumulation and repetition of images and language and a radically open-ended approach to observing, processing, and understanding. Thornton’s exhibition is organized by Natalie Bell, Curator, MIT List Visual Arts Center. In conjunction with the exhibition, the List Center is co-publishing the artist’s first monograph with Sternberg Press. *Exhibition Brochure with list of works exhibited*: https://listart.mit.edu/sites/default/files/MIT_List-Thornton_Brochure_2021.pdf <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d46816e877&e=857b71a9cb> *___________________________________________________________________* *October 28 - November 8* Venue type: *Both physical and online* Interbay Cinema Society <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=e2c499230c&e=857b71a9cb> In person: 10/28 & 10/29: 7pm & 9pm; 10/30: 5pm, 7pm & 9pm; 10/31: 3pm, 5pm & 7pm PT Online: 10/28-11/08 1515 12th Avenue Event URL: https://nwfilmforum.org/festivals/engauge-experimental-film-festival-2021/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=8fbee99580&e=857b71a9cb> *Engauge Experimental Film Festival* The 4th Annual Engauge Experimental Film Festival Co-sponsored by the Interbay Cinema Society and Northwest Film Forum *In person October 28 - October 31 *including Special *Live Only* Expanded Cinema Performance Avida Jackson + Devon Damonte *Online October 28 - November 8th *Featuring films by Cecilia Araneda | Dianna Barrie | Bibhusan Basnet + Pooja Gurung | Edén Bastida Kullick | Anne-Marie Bouchard | Ursula Brookbank | Khalil Charif + Christine Amiran | Isabela Costa | Melina Kiyomi Coumas | Josh Drake | James Edmonds | Roshanak Elmendorf | Zachary Epcar | Linda Fenstermaker | Gwendolyn Audrey Foster | Edgar Garcia Chavez | Dawn George | Mike Gibisser | Brittany Gravely + Ken Linehan | Serge Gregory | Mike Hoolboom | Kourtney Jackson | Foteini Tina Jacobson | Miglė Križinauskaitė-Bernotienė | Kate Lain | Christine Lucy Latimer | Cherlyn Hsing-hsin Liu | Nelson MacDonald | Florian Maricourt + Calypso Debrot | Mireya Martinez | Tetsuya Maruyama | Carleen Maur | Penny McCann | Sandy McLennan | Rocio Mesa | Milan Milosavljević | Ella Morton | Patrick Müller | Yuri Muraoka | Karl Nussbaum | Vasilios Papaioannu | Laura Phillips| Emma Piper-Burket | Ben Popp | Rrose Present | Charlotte Pryce | Camille Pueyo | Kathryn Ramey | Kristin Reeves | Richard Reeves | Daniel Robin | Jason Robinson | Kathleen Rugh | Adam Sekuler | Wenhua Shi | Caitlin “Sonny” Shieh | Anastasia Shubina + Timofey Glinin | Luke Sieczek | Caleb Smith | Miles Sprietsma | Cindy Stillwell | Mark Street | Mary Trunk | Richard Tuohy | Huw Wahl | Stephen Wardell | Stefanie Weberhofer | Steven Woloshen | Tzuan Wu + Erica Sheu *___________________________________________________________________* *October 29 - November 16* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Museum of Modern Art <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=8e05bd6683&e=857b71a9cb> various times MoMA, 11 West 53 Street *Mark McElhatten— “To The Lighthouse” Screening Series* MoMA is honored to present a screening series selected by renowned curator and film programmer Mark McElhatten. “I like to present programs that are more than the sum of their parts,” he says, “an experience that can’t be summarized made up of films that can’t be told.” A founding curator of the New York Film Festival’s Views from the Avant-Garde, and Martin Scorsese’s film archivist for 22 years, McElhatten has been curating film and video programs at major museums and festivals around the world since 1976. “Cinema exists before and after film as a modality of human consciousness,” says McElhatten. “I’ve always resisted informational or thematic programs as I work with intuition and with each film to compose an experience. The films presented in this series touch on many ideas and issues: the human subconscious, the daily, the sublime, race, colonialism, mortality, desire, difference, and division. They are songs of experience holding surprises, revealing their essence and versatility in context, not limited to carrying a particular weight of explanation. Unexplained but not inexplicable. Films that honor the viewer by acknowledging your freedom and intelligence.” Highlights of the series will include world premieres of work by Nathaniel Dorsky, David Gatten and Ashley West, Ernie Gehr, Vincent Grenier, Eve Heller, Ken and Nisi Jacobs, Dani (Leventhal) ReStack and Sheliah (Wilson) ReStack, and Leslie Thornton; US premieres from Michael Robinson; rare screenings of films by Joseph Cornell and Jacques Rivette; and films by Bruce Conner, Claire Denis, Mark LaPore, Buster Keaton, Gregory Markopoulos, Talena Sanders, Phil Solomon, John Reinhardt, and more.

Bursting with bristling film clips and unheard-of stories from the cinematic beyond, this must-see psychotronic performative lecture will invoke the legends of Mexican folklore that have manifested themselves throughout the years in the country’s delirious cinema of fantasy and horror: La Llorona, El Santo, La Momia, La Muerte, and El Diablo. These mythical figures remain deeply ingrained in the Mexican collective psyche. And through cycles of hibernation and euphoric popularity, they reflect the paradoxical relationship between the reverence for and mockery of death and the afterlife that Mexican culture is known for around the world. *This virtual screening is available for 24 hours after the event begins.

To celebrate her achievements, we’ll be hosting two programs surveying her career as a filmmaker. Pitt initially trained as a painter and graphic artist, but driven by a desire to set her visual ideas in motion, she quickly gravitated towards animation. Her films conjure phantasmagorical worlds in which people, objects, and identities are in constant flux. She explores urgent subjects such as mortality and sexuality by means of dreamlike, profoundly ambiguous and unsettling imagery – but always with a vibrancy and sheer delight in creation that renders the films deeply liberating and wondrous. These screenings will showcase the Academy Film Archive’s recent restorations of the majority of Pitt’s films, including her masterpiece, ASPARAGUS (1978), and will also include a short documentary about her life and work (directed by Pitt’s son and daughter-in-law). With several of Pitt’s family members and friends present, this evening will represent a special opportunity to share thoughts and memories of an artist whose work is profoundly alive.

This series of programs explores how moving-image artists have tackled these hidden worlds—through documentary observation into their murky depths, performative bodily engagement, abstraction, archival montage, and computer graphics. Drawing together films from a historically and geographically diverse field—from early cinema to contemporary artists’ moving image; from the Americas, Asia, and Europe—“Underground Movies” charts a unique aesthetic terrain through which to explore larger questions of human’s material and psychological relation to the planet’s substructure—as a space to be reshaped and exploited, but also as one in which to imagine ourselves anew." —JP &LG *Interior New York Subway, 14th Street to 42nd Street**,* Billy Bitzer, USA, 1905, film to paper positive, screened as digital file, b&w, silent, 5 min. *Nine Guided Tours**, *Michael Gitlin, USA, 2000, Video, color, sound, 19 min. *Into All That Is Here**, *Laure Prouvost, UK, 2015, HD video, color, sound, 10 min. *Substrait (Underground Dailies)*, Gordon Matta-Clark, USA, 1976, 16mm, color and b&w, sound, screened as a digital file, 30 min. *sound of a million insects, light of a thousand stars*, Tomonari Nishikawa, Japan, 2014, 35mm, sound, color, screened as digital file, 2 min. *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *GearWax* https://www.gearwax.org/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=7200bab819&e=857b71a9cb> 6pm-8pm PT, *GEARWAX: OLD VINYL, REPURPOSED* A bi-weekly online radio program featuring old LPs, 45rpm and 78rpm records.
