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=3066b2ce68&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. *___________________________________________________________________* *September 10 - 29* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=527cb892fb&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. Programmed by Jed Rapfogel, in collaboration with Bradley Eros and John Klacsmann. Special thanks to Elle Burchill & Andrea Monti (Microscope Gallery); Olivier Marboeuf (Spectre Productions); and Jeff Perkins.

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=7ce62f4187&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=cb578cb25d&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. The EIKI 16mm 3580 SSL projector is a workhorse machine for microcinemas, experimental filmmakers, film workshop & classroom teachers, film artists and cinematheques. Keeping these machines in good working condition is a necessity and a challenge. This workshop will teach you the basics of how to care for and do basic repairs on your EIKI slot load projector so that you can keep it up and running for as long as possible between actual repairs (and repair people are harder to find these days). Taught by filmmaker, expanded cinema performance artist and professor Kristin Reeves, the workshop will bring together filmmakers and projectionists from around the world to learn basic techniques and troubleshooting. Kristin plans to run the workshop “like a cooking show.” *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=9bab687d6c&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, ATA, 992 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA *UNSETTLING GENDER* SUSAN STRYKER's *CHRISTINE IN THE CUTTING ROOM* + LUMINOUS PROCURESS + Steven Arnold’s 1971 surrealistic fantasy, lauded by Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol is a tour de force of the imagination – a journey through peekboxes of naked tableaux, theatres of mechanical dreams, feasts of monsters and piles of humanity.

Attending to tangible materials, the films in this screening simultaneously foreground the artistic process and the labor required for their own creation. They mark the passage of time, giving it form and meaning as chronicles of physical change.

I am interested in the dissonance of our lives apart and the tension in the desire to be together. *An Ecstatic Experience* (Ja’Tovia Gary, USA, 2015, 7 min, digital) A meditative invocation on transcendence as a means of restoration. *For Our Girls* (Michčle Stephenson and Imani Dennison, USA, 2020, 10 min, digital) 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* (Moďse Togo, France, 2020, 14 min, digital) 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?* (Paige Taul, USA, 2018, 4 min, digital) 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.

Soon, a secret public-private partnership is selling tickets to Mars at a premium out of reach for the majority of the population, for whom the choice is either indentured servitude in the new offworld colony or perishing in the coming cataclysm. When the world’s governments decide to speed things up by declaring war on Earth and the rabble they’re leaving behind, the planet forges a strategic alliance with an unlikely partner: an underground luddite movement. Some will join the uprising, others will become fanatical defenders of entrenched power structures, while yet others will do everything in their power to continue living exactly the same way they always have. Its star-studded cast and astronomical production values — painstakingly purloined from some of the biggest blockbusters of the past three decades — make *Earth II* the most expensive climate disaster epic to be produced for no money. *SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2022* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Los Angeles Filmforum <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d05576c532&e=857b71a9cb> 1:00 PM PST, 2220 Arts & Archives - 2220 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90057 Event URL: https://www.lafilmforum.org/schedule/summer-fall-2022/tabita-rezaire-orbit-diapason/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=835a24a265&e=857b71a9cb> *Tabita Rezaire: Orbit Diapason* Two films will be at the in-person screening; three other films will be available online from September 18-September 30. Filmforum has commissioned five artists to make new work, generously funded by the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, and over the next year will be presenting the premieres of the works, including discussions with the artists. Tabita Rezaire is the first of our recipients. Based in French Guyana (a province of France in South America, still remaining from colonial days), and frequently making work in Africa, Rezaire is a healer, artist, and farmer whose multi-faceted practice has revolved around concerns of the internet as a colonial technology, the possibilities of digital interfaces for spiritual and ancestral information, African spirituality, ecological collapse, untold histories of Black womxn, decolonizing uses of technology, and the power of the womb. The works we are exhibiting gather imagery from the internet, machinima, appropriated films, and her own interviews with philosophers and others in vivid and colorful geometric landscapes. This program is made possible by generous support from the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts. *In addition to the two works being screened in person, with a remote discussion with Rezaire, three earlier works of hers will be available online for viewing before or after the show, from Sunday September 18 to Friday September 30, available through the Filmforum website.* *Orbit Diapason*, 2021, color, sound, digital, 44:44 *Premium Connect*, 2017, color, sound, digital, 13:04 Screening Online: *Sorry for Real*, 2015, digital, color, sound, 17 min.
