Throughout his life, Mekas always emphasized and cherished his Lithuanian roots. After fleeing the foreign occupation of his native land, he arrived in New York City, in his own words “at exactly the right moment”, joining thousands of others escaping the devastation wrought by destructive ideologies and tyrannical regimes in Europe. One might say that Mekas left one village, his native Semeniškiai in northern Lithuania, and immersed himself in the life of another – the Village thriving in and around lower Manhattan, and in its landmark publication, the Village Voice, helping to shape American and global culture so profoundly in the latter half of the 20th century. This centennial celebration, Jonas Mekas 100!, seeks to expand global recognition of his work and encourage a deeper exploration of Mekas’ prolific contributions to cinema, film criticism, cultural organization, and, in particular, his body of poems and prose, now published in Lithuanian, French, German, English, Japanese, Hebrew, and many other languages. The centennial program features over 50 events in an expanding list of countries, including: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The vast scope of Mekas’ contribution to global cultural is examined through film screenings and retrospectives, exhibitions, readings, workshops, new publications and translations of Mekas’ writings, and concerts celebrating the spirit of his work, among other events. The centennial program is a joint international collaboration between leading art and cinema organisations, curators, publishers, the global network of Lithuanian cultural attachés, the Estate of Jonas Mekas, and the Lithuanian Culture Institute. *___________________________________________________________________* *February 4 - March 12* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* Deluge Contemporary Art <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=e7e6a0e4cc&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7, Event URL: https://deluge.squarespace.com/now <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=ae55504c39&e=857b71a9cb> *The Autobiographical Animal* An online exhibition comprising four works considering hypotheses of post-human narrative via moving image. Animals do not produce autobiography in any sense we can even begin to comprehend, so the human imagination steps in to create it. The artists in this exhibition approach an often frustrated desire for interspecies communication and equity in surprising and open-ended ways, employing the POV of the protagonists while avoiding the coercion and sentimentality of anthropomorphism—deprivileging their own status in favour of the other. Occurring on built sets and Saskatchewan prairies, in virtual environments and appropriated cinematic landscapes, these films allow for the failure of connection as well as success, accepting delusions of wildness and power, limitations of human empathy and vast possibilities of the sensory and perceptual surrounding what we know about animal consciousness. *Best of Breed*, VALENTINA GAL | 2017 | 7 MIN *Horsey*, FRÉDÉRIC MOFFETT | 2018 | 9 MIN *aen loo pawatamihk*, DIANNE OUELLETTE | 2020 | 6 MIN *The animal that therefore I am (L’ animal que donc je suis)*, BEA DE VISSER | 2019 | 11 MIN *___________________________________________________________________* *March 1 - 31* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* aCinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=0651a7cede&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=409200cf44&e=857b71a9cb> *aCinema: Bones of the Future* *A Juncture of Pleasures* • Jacarrea Garraway, 3 min 36 sec • video *Hojas (Leaves)* • Camila García, 2 min 23 sec • video *Roserade* • Véro Marengère, 4 min 44 sec • video *Volatilis* • Jenna Eriksen (with Anna Seymour; performer), 11 min • video *SO NATURAL* • Tara Olayeye, 1 min 18 sec • 16mm to video *De las Cenizas (From the Ashes)* • Donna Conlon, video • 2 min 56 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.

Through the curatorial themes and independent thoughts expressed within the works, aCinema hopes to inspire and expand audiences' views of the moving image, fostering an arts educational space, where audiences are free to engage in discussion with curators and artists (when present) following the screenings. *___________________________________________________________________* *March 5 - April 30* Venue type: *Live, physical event* McEvoy Foundation for the Arts <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=84ab0cc57e&e=857b71a9cb> Wed - Sat, 11am-6pm PT, McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, 1150 25th Street, Building B, San Francisco *seen only, heard only through someone else’s description* Short films offer new temporal spaces for considering how images and narratives construct meaning, artifice, and memory. *seen only, heard only through someone else’s description* engages filmmakers and artists whose interdisciplinary practices draw from performance, film, photography, research, and writing. The program’s title stems from *Audience Distant Relative* (1977) by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (1951–1982)—a poem, performance, and mail art piece that uses language to unravel dynamics of distance, visibility, hearing, and communication. The program is organized in two sessions of experimental short films by women and nonbinary artists from the 1970s through the 2010s. *Sometimes We Stand Alone* explores personal identity and history through experimental processes and found footage. *Drawing Energy* is concerned with communities of women and their collective power to document and deeply engage with artistic, cultural, or familial lineages. The collected works interweave varied perspectives to probe formal tensions between the moving image and still photography. *Sometimes We Stand Alone* screens daily from January 14 through March 4, 2022. *Drawing Energy* debuts March 5 and runs through April 30, 2022. Guest curated by Gina Basso in conjunction with Image Gardeners, an exhibition of modern and contemporary photography from the McEvoy Family Collection. ---- March 5 – April 30, 2022 /// Drawing Energy ---- Ilene Segalove, *Mom in Famous Women*, 1978 sair goetz, *me and my army*, 2017 Deborah Stratman, *Vever (For Barbara)*, 2019 Onyeka Igwe, *Her Name in My Mouth*, 2017 Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich, *Spit on the Broom*, 2019 Lily Jue Sheng and Rita Ferrando, *Ikebana*, 2020 *SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 2022* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=e29e9b0310&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, Other Cinema, ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st), San Francisco *AKTIONISM* NATALIA MOUNT & FRIENDS + AKTIONISTS + Our fave East Bay art-provocateur Natalia Mount, the brave and brilliant curator expanding the re-booted Pro Arts Gallery into a Performing (and Publishing) Commons, re-invigorates the covid-neutered with a healthy dose of orgone energy! Here's the festive launch of her break-out brainstorm/confession/love-letter, *The Commons: of Friends & Lovers*, written as an experimental dialog with Marc Herbst, the legendary editor of *Journal of Aesthetics and Protest*. In a wild and wide-ranging textual exchange, these two sex-positive protagonists excavate their roiling libidos in an enlightened effort to connect them to the macro-politics of community activism. Not only taking the “personal essay” to the next level of interpersonal correspondence, in fact Ms. Mount tops even that in tonight's performative and A/V-enhanced reading. Body-doubling for Herbst in the enacted dialectic is the much-missed Praba Pilar, a reknown UCD performance artist in her own right. Their live-action back-and forth of the book's raddest pages proposes new libidinal economies that fuse Eros and Polis. The supporting hour is a veritable hothouse (bath-house?) of orgiastic shorts, featuring the transgressive work of infamous Aktionists Kurt Kren, Otto Muehl, and Hermann Nitsch! PLUS sizzlers from Erotic Psy. *$9 *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=7007553a22&e=857b71a9cb> 6pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York *EC: HOLLIS FRAMPTON* *ZORNS LEMMA* (1970, 60 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.) “A major poetic work. Created and put together by a very clear eye-head, this original and complex abstract work moves beyond the letters of the alphabet, beyond words and beyond Freud. If you don’t understand it the first time you see it, don’t despair, see it again! When you finally ‘get it,’ a small light, possibly a candle, will light itself inside your forehead.” –Ernie Gehr *HAPAX LEGOMENA I: (nostalgia)* (1971, 36 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives, MoMA, and the NYU Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program, with funding from the National Film Preservation Foundation.) “In *(nostalgia)* the time it takes for a photograph to burn (and thus confirm its two-dimensionality) becomes the clock within the film, while Frampton plays the critic, asynchronously glossing, explicating, narrating, mythologizing his earlier art, and his earlier life, as he commits them both to the fire of a labyrinthine structure; for Borges too was one of his earlier masters, and he grins behind the facades of logic, mathematics, and physical demonstrations which are the formal metaphors for most of Frampton’s films.” –P. Adams Sitney Total running time: ca. 100 min. *SUNDAY, MARCH 13, 2022* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=46cbc9edb9&e=857b71a9cb> 4pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York *EC: ERNIE GEHR* “Ernie Gehr [makes] cinematic magic, often from the least likely materials. Indeed, Gehr’s most famous film, *SERENE VELOCITY* (1970), in which the filmmaker transforms an institutional hallway in the basement of a classroom building at the State University of New York at Binghamton into a nexus of visual and conceptual energy, merely by adjusting his stationary camera’s zoom lens every four frames for twenty-three minutes, can be read as Gehr’s manifesto. For Gehr the most everyday spaces and the most mundane actions offer the imaginative filmmaker the most interesting potential. No other filmmaker, with the exception of Michael Snow, has so relentlessly and so productively explored the capacity of filmmaking to develop the visual (and auditory) opportunities afforded by the cinematic apparatus itself.” –Scott MacDonald, A CRITICAL CINEMA 5 Brand new prints! *REVERBERATION* (1969, 23 min, 16mm) *SERENE VELOCITY* (1970, 23 min, 16mm, silent) *STILL* (1971, 54 min, 16mm) Total running time: ca. 105 min *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* *GearWax* https://www.gearwax.org/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=3df0d0bb1d&e=857b71a9cb> 6pm-8pm PT, *GEARWAX: OLD VINYL, REPURPOSED* A bi-weekly online radio program featuring old LPs, 45rpm and 78rpm records.

The festival’s eleventh edition, First Look 2022 will take place in the Museum’s two theaters, with filmmakers appearing either in person or via live video. The *Working on It* <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=a832dc428e&e=857b71a9cb> program, which offers a lab-like environment for works-in-progress screenings, workshops, and discussions, will take place during the day on March 16, 17, and 18. Opening Night, on Wednesday, March 16, presents the New York City premiere of Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović’s *Murina*, a simmering, sexually charged coming-of-age tale set in scenic coastal Croatia that won the Caméra d’Or (Best First Feature) at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival and was executive produced by Martin Scorsese, preceded by the New York premiere of Tsai Ming-liang’s sorrowful ode to Hong Kong, *The Night*. The Closing Night selection, on Sunday, March 20, is the New York premiere of Pawel Lozinski’s delightful and insightful documentary *The Balcony Movie*. Recipient of the Grand Prix at the 2021 Locarno Film Festival’s Critics Week (Semaine de la critique), the film was shot entirely from the balcony of Lozinski’s Warsaw apartment, which proves to be a uniquely advantageous perch for encountering the struggles and moods of the times. Moving outside the traditional cinema space, two works by First Look alums will be presented in the Museum’s galleries: Deniz Tortum and Kathryn Hamilton’s *Our Ark* in the Video Screening Amphitheater and Charlie Shackleton’s *As Mine Exactly*, a live virtual reality experience. *FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2022* Venue type: *Live, physical event* VISIONS <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=44a90eeaa5&e=857b71a9cb> 6:45pm ET, 7080 Rue Alexandra #506, Montréal, QC *VISIONS 18.03.2022 : LUIS MACIAS* VISIONS et la lumière collective présentent, en collaboration avec Double Négatif et OK LÀ : Luis Macias Filmmaker present | En présence du cinéaste Projection 16mm, 35mm et numérique | 16mm, 35mm and digital projection + info : https://visionsmtl.com/2022/luis-macias-2/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=47a11c96f7&e=857b71a9cb> PROGRAMME *The eyes empty and the pupils burning of rage and desire* 2 x 16mm | couleur et N&B | sans son | 25 mins *The Kiss* 2014 | 35mm à numérique | N&B | son | 9 mins *Spectral Landscape* 3 x projecteurs à diapositives 35mm | couleur et N&B | sans son | 25 mins *SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 2022* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=e0959f1fd7&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, Other Cinema, ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st), San Francisco *X~PERI~MENTAL ANIMATION* COLBURN + FLEMING + PÄRN + Our annual experimental animation extravaganza irrepressibly pops back up, come Ides of March, with a wildly diverse program, that includes thee Martha Colburn mid-career retro, as occasioned by her selection as the Ann Arbor Film Festival's Penny Stamps Speaker!
