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=bbb1c43221&e=857b71a9cb> *___________________________________________________________________* *November 1 - 30* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* aCinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=8bb6d64c50&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=bdf176637b&e=857b71a9cb> *aCinema: Exopoiesis* *Atlas*, Camila Marchon, 5 min 40 sec *Dark Matter*, Viktor Brim, 19 min 52 sec *3x Shapes of Home*, Elisabeth Brun, 6 min 58 sec *Sweeping Sweet*, Anya Leonova, 11 min 21 sec 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.

Godmilow has produced a dizzyingly varied body of moving-image works, encompassing beautifully crafted documentary portraits, invaluable recordings of theater pieces, a fictional feature based on the lives of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, conceptually rich “remakes” of agit-prop classics (WHAT FAROCKI TAUGHT and SCUM MANIFESTO), an animated film about the domestication of sheep, and a pioneering documentary-fiction hybrid (FAR FROM POLAND). Godmilow is equally adept at constructing sensitive and perceptive portraits of artists at work – from sculptors and musicians to writers and theater artists – and at deconstructing the artistic process, including her own. If there’s a single thread uniting her various films – aside from her uncompromising political commitment – it’s her persistent focus on the creative process: several of her films explicitly depict artists at work (ANTONIA: A PORTRAIT OF THE WOMAN; NEVELSON IN PROCESS; THE ODYSSEY TAPES), while others foreground the process or roots of their own creation (FAR FROM POLAND; WHAT FAROCKI TAUGHT; SCUM MANIFESTO). Godmilow has long been at the heart of the film cultural community in New York and beyond, thanks to her work as a filmmaker and artistic collaborator; her parallel career as a teacher, scholar, and writer; and her founding in 1985 of the non-profit organization Laboratory for Icon & Idiom, which was initially formed to produce her films, but has more recently evolved into IndieCollect, which is dedicated to the rescue, restoration and reactivation of independent cinema, with an emphasis on films by women, people of color and makers who identify as LGBTQ+. Although several of her films remain in circulation and are screened regularly, this retrospective represents the first comprehensive survey of her films and videos to take place in many years, and provides an invaluable opportunity to appreciate the full breadth and depth of her moving-image work. *Upcoming Screenings* WAITING FOR THE MOON <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d1c7a36be8&e=857b71a9cb> November 20 at 1:00 PM FAR FROM POLAND <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=6d3a7682c9&e=857b71a9cb> November 20 at 6:00 PM November 21 at 8:30 PM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS – NOTES AND IMAGES FROM THE VIETNAM WAR <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=06d66d95e3&e=857b71a9cb> November 20 at 9:00 PM November 22 at 6:45 PM ANTONIA: A PORTRAIT OF THE WOMAN + THE ODYSSEY TAPES <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=f9575bae1f&e=857b71a9cb> November 21 at 4:00 PM THE POPOVICH BROTHERS OF SOUTH CHICAGO <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=9f54cac8f5&e=857b71a9cb> November 21 at 6:30 PM NEVELSON IN PROCESS + WITH JERZY GROTOWSKI, NIENADOWKA, 1980 <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=bf9292ab61&e=857b71a9cb> November 22 at 8:45 PM WHAT FAROCKI TAUGHT + SCUM MANIFESTO <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=e7cec764a7&e=857b71a9cb> November 23 at 7:00 PM ROY COHN/JACK SMITH <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d9e9c7b602&e=857b71a9cb> November 23 at 9:00 PM *SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2021* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=aa12f0944e&e=857b71a9cb> 8:00pm, 992 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA *MORRISON + MINAX + GHOSTS* This celebration of film artifacts—both in collections and “found”--focuses on some half-dozen revered re-mix artistes and a quartet of crucial archives.

More than a third of our catalog will be screened there, with one screening every Friday, and one full Saturday per month. With the CJC's Temporary Cinematheque, we want to set up a place where every week, at any cost, different and experimental films will be screened, and thus create a regular program, where the importance is given as much to the conviviality of the place as to the quality of the programming. We want to make the Temporary Film Library a place where filmmakers, cinephiles, curious people, students and film professionals can meet. If everyone can leave a screening with the desire to make a film, to be interested in marginal forms of cinema, and thus contribute to alternative histories of cinema, we would be very happy. Programming The CJC's Temporary Film Library will offer nearly 80 screenings between now and May 2022. The programs are all made from our distribution catalog and have been programmed in reverse chronological order, according to the production date of each film. The screenings, in continuity, invite you to go back in time through more than a third of our distributed films, from 2020 to 1943. Thus, the programming is taken care of by our catalog itself without going through a thematic or historical proposal of a programmer. Films made by children, structural films, abstract films, dance films, filmed diaries, amateur films, experimental documentaries... The CJC's Temporary Film Library gives us the opportunity to discover the richness and heterogeneity of our catalog, which has been in existence for 50 years and is constantly being renewed, and which will hopefully continue for the next 50 years! 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. 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. 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.

The 1970s and ‘80s in the US saw a renaissance of independent, experimental animation being produced by a wildly talented and diverse group of young artists. Thanks to revitalized art and film school curricula, access to equipment, and new opportunities for funding, numerous animators had the chance to produce otherworldly personal visions which then had an extensive outlet in festivals, museums, and nontheatrical markets. New access to industry grade equipment even enabled artists to realize their animations in 35mm, although 16mm remained a more affordable format for many. Frank Mouris’s classic information-overload cut-out autobiography, Frank Film, marks one of the few times a genuinely experimental film took home an Oscar, signalling an unexpected level of attention these imaginative, independent visions might achieve. Gorgeous, lyrical work by Sara Petty, Maureen Selwood, Lisze Bechtold, and Sky David each combine different approaches to figuration and abstraction, marked by a diversely complex and affecting poetry. Ayoka Chenzira’s memorable Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy Headed People, uses multiple techniques to explore Black history and identity through hairstyles, resulting in a vivid work that is hilarious and moving. Suzan Pitt’s masterpiece Asparagus is an iconic film of global independent animation, and is a revelation to experience in its original 35mm format. And finally, rarely seen films by Tom Leeser & Diana Wilson and Daina Krumins explore the outer boundaries of visual experimentation - Krumins’ Babobilicons must truly be one of the most compellingly weird short films ever made.

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.

The collective opens a space beyond binaries of the fictional and the documentary as well as the past and the present. Meaning “low tide” in the Emmiyengal language, karrabing refers to a form of collectivity outside of government-imposed strictures of clanship or land ownership. Shot on handheld cameras and phones, most of Karrabing’s films dramatize and satirize the daily scenarios and obstacles that collective members face in their various interactions with corporate and state entities. Composing webs of nonlinear narratives that touch on cultural memory, place, and ancestry by freely jumping in time and place, the Karrabing Film Collective exposes and intervenes into the longstanding facets of colonial violence—such as environmental devastation, land restrictions, and economic exploitation— that impact members directly. REDCAT presents a comprehensive look at the Karrabing Film Collective’s work, surveying its existing films to date throughout the Fall. Programs scheduled for 09/22, 10/27, and 11/22 The virtual screening is available for 24 hours after the event begins. Virtual screenings do not include access to pre or post event talks. *When the Dogs Talked* (2014, 33:56) This thoughtful yet humorous drama details the difficulties Indigenous communities have living within the strictures of modern white culture while maintaining a sense of their own traditions and relationship to the land. *Windjarrameru, The Stealing C*nt$* (2015, 36:33) Teenage boys fall into a trap—presumably set to get them jailed for a minor offense—and are pranked by ancestral spirits when they hide out in a toxic mangrove. *Day in the Life* (2020, 31:42) It’s ordinary day in a small rural Indigenous community in which nothing quite works and the authoritative hand of the government is a constant shadowy presence over the community. *FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2021* *November 26 - November 29* Venue type: *Both physical and online* London International Animation Festival <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=1b5e62948f&e=857b71a9cb> times vary, see below, Close-Up Cinema, London, UK, E1 6HR Event URL: http://www.edgeofframe.co.uk/edge-of-frame-at-liaf-2021/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=6bc67a9ff0&e=857b71a9cb> *LIAF Edge of Frame: Robert Breer: Two Programs* *“I’d really like to have my films go ‘Fvoom!’ just like that – one split second… But somehow, that’s not the way perception works.” *– Robert Breer It is 10 years since the artist, filmmaker and animator Robert Breer died, and his impact on experimental animation practice is greater than ever. During his lengthy artistic career Breer collaborated with the likes of Jean Tinguely and Claes Oldenberg, created kinetic sculptures that moved at an almost imperceptible rate, and produced more than 40 influential and groundbreaking films. As part of London International Animation Festival 2021, Edge of Frame presents two programmes exploring Breer’s substantial legacy. The first programme; Fvoom! The Animated Films of Robert Breer brings together a selection of his seminal works of experimental animation, which collide radical discontinuity with cartooning and found materials, formally daring one moment, daftly humorous the next. The second; After Images, presents a range of work by contemporary animation artists who have built on his myriad formal and conceptual innovations, taking his lead into unexpected new directions. This programme shows the acute relevance Breer’s work continues to have for artists working with animation in an uncertain and unpredictable world. *FVOOM!

This year's program of Native American media-art is given over to a feisty collective of young makers who've made quite an international splash (*Art *Forum, NYTimes, London Times) with their non-stop stream of critical works--shorts, features, and installations--that take oppositional positions on a wide range of aboriginal issues...and in ways both comic and apocalyptic. Principals Adam Khalil, Zack Khalil (Ojibway) and Jackson Polys (Tlingit) presented here in person to a sold-out crowd two years ago, but this time will be sending in a quiver of indigenous essays from the shooting-set of their in-production *Nosferasta*...including a sneak peek of that same project!
