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. *___________________________________________________________________* *March 2022 - Fall 2022* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Denver Museum of Nature & Science <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=b0c2f0ca91&e=857b71a9cb> open during Museum hours, The Summit Stage and Expedition Health, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO *REFRESH: *CYANOBACTERIA OFFER PERSPECTIVE ON OURSELVES This art-science collaboration looks at the microscopic ways cyanobacteria move, on an individual level and in colonies. If we study these organisms and their varied forms, we might discover ways to improve our future. On display at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in the Summit Stage and Expedition Health, March 2022 - Fall 2022 The cells in your body take in oxygen and sweep out waste products like carbon dioxide (CO2). Microscopic cyanobacteria use photosynthesis to work in reverse, breathing in CO2 and pumping out oxygen. Three billion years ago, cyanobacteria created Earth’s oxygenfilled atmosphere, supporting the evolution of creatures like us. Today, they provide one-quarter of the planet’s oxygen, and cyanobacteria like spirulina provide us with food. Researchers believe that cyanobacteria —which need only sunlight, CO2, and water to thrive— could offer solutions to our changing climate. They might help reduce CO2 on a grand scale, contribute to biofuel production, and support long-term space travel. This diverse group of organisms offers a symbolic warning as well: when colonies of cyanobacteria become too dense or stressed, they can run out of nutrients or be destroyed by their own air pollution. Made with the collaborative efforts of filmmaker Erin Espelie and the Jeffrey Cameron Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder, which created a customized microscope system specifically tailored for long-term growth and quantitative imaging of cyanobacterial cells; with special thanks to microbiologist and cinematographer Evan Johnson and artists Nima Bahrehmand, Travis Austin, Will Alstetter, as well as NEST Studio for the Arts. *___________________________________________________________________* *April 8 - September 11* Venue type: *Live, physical event* The New England Triennial <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=0f0808514a&e=857b71a9cb> see below for hours, deCordova Sculpture Park & Museum, Lincoln, MA + Fruitlands Museum, Harvard, MA *The New England Triennial* The New England Triennial 2022 recognizes the vitality of contemporary art across the Northeast amid the recent years of upheaval and transformation. Spanning two museum venues—deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum and Fruitlands Museum—this year’s iteration features artwork by twenty-five artists from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Prioritizing change over stability, many of the artists’ practices involve processes of unmaking and remaking—patching things together, dissecting, and rebuilding forms using discarded parts. Their collective artistry reveals interconnected tendencies: a focus on kinship and ancestral lineages; a search for one’s place in the world; the visualization of data; themes of ruin and decay, and processes of alchemical transmutation. Artists in this exhibition grapple with difficult and unjust moments of history and contemporary life. Some employ generations-old creative traditions in poetic, passionate, and informed ways. Altogether, their work unearths hidden energies and stories surfacing at a time defined by change and resilience. Since 1989, the New England Triennial (formerly known as the deCordova New England Biennial) has been a mainstay of deCordova’s programming and mission, exemplifying the museum’s commitment to contemporary art of the Northeast region. For the first time, this upcoming cycle will span two museum venues, deCordova and Fruitlands, expanding the platform for this highly-anticipated survey of art making in New England. We hope you will visit both locations to appreciate the exhibition’s full scope. deCordova Artists Elizabeth Atterbury, Ann Craven, Jeremy Frey, Merik Goma, Kate Greene, Meena Hasan, Baxter Koziol, Jodie Mack, Anina Major, Marla McLeod, Elle Pérez, Estefania Puerta, Allison Maria Rodriguez, Em Rooney, Michelle Segre, Nafis M.

Back for its second edition, the films in New Black Wave Vol. 2 remix public and personal archives to reveal new meanings within familiar images of Black life in America. We bear witness to the absolute and overwhelming freedom exhibited in Black expression and the ever-present power of Black culture. The show features brilliant films by Michèle Stephenson and Imani Dennison, Julie Dash, Ja'Tovia Gary, Paige Taul, Jenn Nkiru, Moïse Togo, and Darol Olu Kae. The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmakers and curator and writer Taylor Renee Aldridge of the California African American Museum (CAAM). *i ran from it and was still in it*, By Darol Olu Kae, USA, 2020, digital, 11 min.

I am interested in the dissonance of our lives apart and the tension in the desire to be together. *An Ecstatic Experience*, By Ja'Tovia Gary, USA, 2015, digital, 7 min. A meditative invocation on transcendence as a means of restoration. *For Our Girls*, By Michèle Stephenson and Imani Dennison, USA, 2020, digital, 10 min., Los Angeles Premiere The film is a love letter to Black daughters — acknowledging the sacred, and at times, tense relationship mothers and daughters share as they face challenges and accept each other’s flaws. *$75,000*, By Moïse Togo, France/Mali, 2020, digital, 14 min., Los Angeles Premiere A look at the biological aspect of albinism, which is a genetic and hereditary condition that affects not only the pigmentation of sufferers but also, and above all, their physical and mental health. These people are victims of discrimination, mutilation, and ritual crimes in Africa. *What’s good Bruce?*, By Paige Taul, USA, 2018, digital, 4 min., Los Angeles Premiere A reference to Bruce Nauman's Walking in an Exaggerated Manner Around the Perimeter of a Square (1967) in order to question whose body and whose body language is allowed in the studio space.

Unlike the film find explored in Bill Morrison’s *Dawson City: Frozen Time*, it turned out this discovery wasn’t a lost work of major importance, but an incomplete print of a popular Soviet comedy from 1969, starring the beloved Russian actor Mihail Žarov. To Morrison, the heavily water-damaged print, and the way it surfaced, could be seen as a fitting reflection on the film work of Žarov, who re-emerges from the bottom of the sea 50 years later like a Russian Rip Van Winkle, to a world where reels of film are as antiquated as the Soviet Union. *___________________________________________________________________* *September 10 - 29* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=50694883ac&e=857b71a9cb> times vary, see below, 32 Second Avenue, New York *IMAGELESS FILMS, PART 5* If there’s one central element that would seem to be intrinsic and indispensable to any reasonable definition of the cinema it would be the presence of imagery, whether photographed, animated, or generated through more experimental methods such as hand-painting, scratching, collaging, and so on. Nevertheless, throughout the history of the medium, artists have challenged even this seemingly core tenet of the art form by producing works that subvert or entirely dispense with the image, by expanding the definition of the kinds of experience that can be shared within the space of the cinema, or by provocatively defining as “cinema” performances that might seem a thing apart. These subversions of the idea of a medium of “moving images” have taken many forms: works that emphasize spoken dialogue or sound collages; films whose visual tracks consist primarily of written text; projector performances that showcase or manipulate light and darkness; flicker films; pure color studies; films that punctuate long stretches of darkness with near-subliminal bursts of imagery; and so on and so forth. The ongoing series, “Imageless Films”, which we’ve been presenting since April, represents an extended, in-depth, and multi-chapter exploration of the various ways that filmmakers and artists have experimented with the possibilities of an “imageless” cinema (or have played with the idea of “emptiness” or visual subtraction in a more general sense). With the September chapter, we bring the series to a close – and in high style, thanks to rare screenings of Gregory Markopoulos’s *GAMMELION*; a program featuring works that directly address the audience and/or projectionist (including Morgan Fisher’s *PROJECTION INSTRUCTIONS* and Hollis Frampton’s *A LECTURE*); a screening in which we’ll share some of the most memorable voicemail messages we’ve received over the years at Anthology; and several live-performance pieces, including Malcolm Le Grice’s *PRE-PRODUCTION* and a work designed specifically for the Maya Deren theater by Bradley Eros *(MAYA)*. This final chapter will also bring the publication of a booklet featuring the complete program notes and a selection of related texts.

As Topiary writes, “This suite of landscape étude films use the film/moving image medium to create an experience of the urban environment as a collaborative composition. In creating works that use the found environment, these artists expand from the tradition of city symphony filmmaking, creating works of visual music, offering a kind of lyrical seeing or visual poetry.” As always, this Salon event is free and open to the public, with refreshments served beginning at 7pm and the doors closed for the start of the show at 7:30. Please note that masks are strongly encouraged, and that the theater’s seating capacity is extremely limited. An informal conversation with the curator will follow the screening. *Hand Held Day* by Gary Beydler (1975, 5 min, 16mm) *Night Train* by Guy Sherwin (1979, 2 min, 16mm) *A City in Four Parts* by Jon Behrens (2016, 6 min, digital file) *Bridges-Go-Round* by Shirley Clarke (1958, 8 min, 16mm) *New York Portrait II* by Peter Hutton (1981, 12 min, 16mm) *Untitled (light)* by Julie Murray (2002, 5 min, 16mm) *Momentum* by S Topiary Landberg (2000, 4 min, digital file) *The Grid* by Cauleen Smith (2011, 15 min, digital file) *Around* by Bill Basquin (2013, 5 min, digital file) *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Academy Museum <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=fcf72c48f5&e=857b71a9cb> 7:30pm PT, Academy Museum, 6067 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036 *Derek Jarman: Super 8 Revelations* An eclectic array of Derek Jarman’s Super 8 films chosen especially for this occasion. In-person: James Mackay Few filmmakers have earned the descriptor of “legendary,” but Derek Jarman (1942–1994) is one this word seems to fit. With innovation and an intensity of devotion to his cinematic craft, Jarman produced a radical and hugely influential series of films over the course of his tragically short life, including the acclaimed features Jubilee (1978), Caravaggio (1986), The Last of England (1987), and Blue (1993). Known for their mystery, beauty, and evocative texture, Jarman’s films often employed classical myth, narrative, and history in a complex interplay that tackled topics ranging from queer sensuality and identity to often brutal and brilliant indictments of Thatcher’s Britain and the outmoded mores and political ideologies it represented. However, the intimacy, presence, and audiovisual experimentation of these more widely known feature films have their origins in Jarman’s prodigious Super 8 filmmaking practice, which roughly spanned the period from 1970 to 1983, during which he produced approximately 80 short films of incredible diversity. The Super 8 medium, with its lower cost, practical limitations, and unique aesthetic properties, inspired Jarman to experiment freely and develop a complex and exciting cinematic language that deeply informed his later work, not to mention the work of generations of artists he inspired. Thanks to the Luma Foundation and Jarman’s longtime friend and producer, James Mackay, these rarely seen Super 8 films have been newly digitized in recent years, in an appropriately experimental manner that acknowledges Jarman’s tendency to often show these films at different speeds and with different soundtracks, giving them an unfixed form that resisted definitive characterization. In translating Jarman’s Super 8 films for digital presentation, Mackay has not only made these remarkable works accessible, but also revived the unique qualities of spectacle and strange magic that they embody for an immersive and revelatory cinematic experience. Featuring soundtracks by Coil, Simon Fisher Turner, Nick Hudson, and Cyclobe, this program will showcase an eclectic array of Jarman’s Super 8 films chosen especially for this occasion.

Her new essay-film/performance-piece, *TERRA FEMME* is constructed entirely from amateur travelogues filmed by women in the 1920s-50s. Moving between geographical essay, personal inquiry, and historical speculation, Stephens examines these films as both private documents and accidental ethnographies. The travelogues present a new type of traveler: no longer a male seeker of conquests, she might be a divorcee on a tour of biblical gardens, or a widow on a cruise to the North Pole. In rescuing the films of these unknown travelers from the archives, *TERRA FEMME* weaves together questions of female authorship, cinematic excavation, and the Western gaze, complicating the freedoms these women experienced while traveling through foreign landscapes. A film about longing for past worlds through cinematic excavation, *TERRA FEMME* reveals how this force flows in both directions, as women from the past convey themselves into the present through the power of their gaze. *TERRA FEMME* began life as an illustrated lecture, with Stephens presenting and discussing her archival finds in person – a format that mirrored the way the films might have been exhibited when they were shot. During the pandemic, Stephens edited the material into an hour-long essay film, with music by Sarah Davachi. During Anthology’s week-long engagement, we will present two incarnations of the film, with Stephens performing the narration live on Thursday, September 15 and Sunday, September 18. *SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2022* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* Interbay Cinema Society <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=54cb0667f3&e=857b71a9cb> 11 AM PT to 2 PM PT, online Event URL: https://nwfilmforum.org/education/workshops/local-sightings-2022-eiki-16mm-projector-care-repair-zoom-workshop/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=88913b9127&e=857b71a9cb> *EIKI 16mm 3580 SSL Projector Care and Repair Workshop* Co-sponsored by Interbay Cinema Society and Northwest Film Forum; Moderated by Echo Park Film Center; Taught by Kristin Reeves.
