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=153b30b7e7&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. *___________________________________________________________________* *October 10 - November 10* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Flaherty NYC <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=9e196633a4&e=857b71a9cb> times vary, locations vary, see below *LET’S ALL BE LICHEN* let’s all be lichen is an Inukjuamiut’s response to 100 years of our namesake’s seminal film*.

Expect a visual wash of street grids, land masses, bodies of water, and curiosities from the built environment. Saturated colors and subtle tints. Sounds symphonic and serrated. The flicker film as wayfinding device. Orphaned information and untethered symbology. Crowdsourced data with Swiss precision, and glitches a kilometer wide. OpenStreetMap as light show. This will be the first performance of *A Synesthete's Atlas* in the Midwest. While it's presented as the finale to the North American Cartographic Information Society's Annual Meeting it is open to the public. Eric Theise is a San Francisco-based artist and geospatial software developer. Through video and real time performance he reinvigorates the perceptual inquiries of structural filmmakers, experimental animators, op artists, and the light and space movement as new possibilities in the realm of digital cartography. A Synesthete's Atlas premiered with cellist Helena Espvall in Lisbon in April 2022 and has since been performed in East & West Coast US venues. Theise's 16mm films have screened across the United States, Canada, and France; he’s held residencies at Hangar (Lisbon), Signal Culture, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and he's received grants from the Interbay Cinema Society and Bay Area Video Coalition. Liz Draper, classically and jazz-trained versatile bassist, is fortuitously on break from an international tour with Low. She's performed, recorded and/or toured internationally with such groups as the Grammy Award-winning Okee Dokee Brothers, Soul Asylum, Charlie Parr, The Rose Ensemble, Ben Weaver, Orkestar Bez Ime, and Davina and the Vagabonds. A professional musician since age 16, Liz has performed in an astonishing array of musical genres and ensembles, from jazz and classical to folk, metal, improvisational, experimental, Balkan, and chamber strings. Liz holds a Bachelor of Music in Double Bass Performance from the University of Minnesota and has studied at The School For Improvised Music in Brooklyn, New York. She was awarded a 2019 fellowship through Giant Steps Music Action Women, a partnership with the University of San Francisco. https://erictheise.com/ https://lizdraper.bandcamp.com/album/hours-solo-bass-e-p https://nacis.org/annual-meeting/current-meeting/ *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Microscope Gallery <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=12620ab4da&e=857b71a9cb> 7:30 pm ET, 525 W 29th St, 2nd floor, NYC 10001 *Ephraim Asili: Measuring Time* an evening of live sound performance by Ephraim Asili taking place as part of our series of “Imageless Film” performances in connection and collaboration with the “Imageless Films” series at Anthology Film Archives. A Q&A with Ephraim Asili will follow the performance. New York-based artist Ephraim Asili will provide an improvised soundscape performance on the Boss SP-404 SX Linear Wave Sampler Sequencer, which was used to score several of his films, tapes, and most recently the vinyl record included in his recently published book, “Measuring Time” (VSW PRESS). “My first medium was sound/music. Eventually film replaced sound as my main mode of artistic communication. Whenever time permits and the spirit moves, I make audio sketches and notes, what I consider Hip Hop inspired aural journal entries. The audio-collage entries on the enclosed record were made with my vinyl record collection, a Technic 1200 turntable, a Boss SP 404 sampler, and a Tascam four track cassette recorder.” — Ephraim Asili Please note: Masks are required for entry to our events at this time. *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=4414561946&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st), San Francisco *MAGICK/CIRKUS GALA* DIEHL's *MISDIRECTIONS* Our *Supernatural Suite* opens with a mind-melting carnival ride, through both a rich legacy of the American circus subculture, and through the particular sideshow art of the sleight-of-hand magician. We celebrate the SF launch of Carl Diehl's utterly genius zine about his great-uncle Werner “Dorny” Dornfield. Carl sends in a custom video cut that draws from the chapbook itself, delving into Dorny's association with Harry Houdini, as well as a series of conversations with historians, performance artists, and magicians. ALSO: jaw-dropping contortionist footage, Kathleen Quillian's animation *The Conjuror*, and Craig Baldwin's live magic trick! As to the broader cultural phenomenon of the circus in the US, well, we DO have the very best material in the form of a 1949 16mm Technicolor, *Circus Train*. PLUS: *vérité* footage of the marvelous Bicentennial circus, also in luscious color.

As founder, curator and administrator (1970–1975) of the Carnegie Museum of Art’s Film Section series, Dixon presented, commissioned and supported ground-breaking works by a huge array of filmmakers—including Carolee Schneemann, Gunvor Nelson, Stan Brakhage, Roger Jacoby, George & Mike Kuchar, Hollis Frampton, Storm De Hirsch and many others—while setting an exemplary model for the presentation of artist films in a fine arts context and for providing financial compensation to artists. Her establishment of the famed Pittsburgh Travel Sheet (in 1973) and role in founding the Filmmakers Preview Network and of Pittsburgh Filmmakers helped solidify a national touring network of alternative exhibition spaces and film artists. In her later career, Dixon programmed films at the Walker Art Center—where she published the famed Filmmakers Filming series of artist monographs—and worked for various philanthropic foundations, providing thousands of dollars in support of filmmaker projects. Long under-recognized as a figure in the field, Dixon’s tale is told in Brigid Maher’s Experimental Curator: The Sally Dixon Story, a loving portrait featuring extensive archival footage, interviews and photographs documenting Dixon’s life and work and interviews with members of Dixon’s extensive circle including Jonas Mekas, Jane Brakhage Wodening, Carolee Schneemann, Ken Jacobs and more. The screening of Experimental Curator is preceded by three works featured in the film—James Broughton’s *Erogeny* (1976), filmed on Dixon’s dining room table; Roger Jacoby’s *Dream Sphinx* (1974), “starring” Dixon and Warhol superstar Ondine; and Storm De Hirsh’s double-projected *Third Eye Butterfly* (1968), all screened in vibrant 16mm.

This program contains mature content. Sally Cruikshank and Vince Collins both studied animation at the San Francisco Art Institute in the early 1970s and were two of the most brilliantly creative talents of the new wave of experimental animators then emerging. Both were influenced by classic cartoons and underground comics alike, and their respective approaches in boldly colorful cel animation reflected an appropriately surreal and anarchic response to an America still deeply embroiled in the Vietnam War, in a post-psychedelic era marked by massive upheaval and unrest. Cel animation had long been the standard medium of the industry, but few American experimental animators engaged with it as deeply and creatively as Cruikshank and Collins. Its historical identity and aesthetic properties represent a unique visual language offering vibrant approaches to movement, color, layering, and form, and these two artists explored its qualities in radical and innovative ways.

Bill is the founder and owner of BB Optics, a film preservation lab in NYC with an extensive list of clients that includes MoMA, Disney, and the Library of Congress. On October 26, Bill will give a Master Class on his work as a film preservationist, and discuss the technical complexities of archiving film in a variety of formats and for multiple uses. This event is co-sponsored by the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.vsw.org/vsw-salon-fall-2022/october-26-master-class-on-film-preservation-with-bill-brand/ . On October 27, the VSW Salon will present a program of Bill's experimental films along with selections he has made from the VSW Film collection. This screening will be followed by a conversation between Bill and VSW curator Tara Nelson. Inspired by the expanded cinema and avant-garde film movements of the 1960’s, Brand began his career as an experimental filmmaker, working with 16mm film, projection performance and sound installation. His early films addressed a broad range of approaches, from formal abstraction to structural inquiry, with a consistent sense of humor and a touch of playfulness. Bill’s practice has continued to evolve to include video, painting, drawing, and a public art installation that is viewable through the windows of a moving subway train in NYC. https://www.vsw.org/vsw-salon-fall-2022/october-27-in-dialogue-with-bill-brand/ *The Nose* (1963) by Claire Parker and Alexandre Alexeieff *Organic Afghan* (1969) by Bill Brand *Begone Dull Care* (1949) by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart *It Dawn Down* (1974) by Bill Brand *Roulement Rourie Aubage* (1978) by Rose Lowder *Split Decision* (1979) by Bill Brand *Still at Work* (1975) by Bill Brand *Light Licks: Amen* (2018) by Saul Levine *Interior Outpost* (2003) by Bill Brand *August Garden* (2019) by Bill Brand 99 Minutes *SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2022* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=efb0265e63&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st), San Francisco *TRICK OR TREAT* BLOXHAM's HYPNOTIC TIME-REGRESSION + FLEXIDISC HORROR + MONSTER MASH-UP + On the second part of our *Supernatural Suite* we try (vainly) to make our Halloween show even more scary than everyday life!
