*WE ARE HERE: SCENES FROM THE STREETS*
This fall, the International Center of Photography (ICP) presents a major
exhibition entitled “We Are Here: Scenes from the Streets”. Spotlighting
contemporary street photography from over 30 international iconic street
photographers, the exhibition highlights the diverse perspectives and
techniques that define modern street photographers and emphasizes the role
of the streets as a canvas for illustrating change. The work of these
intergenerational and geographically disparate artists encourages an
expansive re-viewing of “street photography.” It opens up important
discussions on how “the street” and public space are places of community,
joy, self-expression, advocacy, changing landscapes, and social dynamics as
seen through the street photographer’s lens.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Anthology hosts a wide-ranging film
series, throughout November and December, that explores the intersections
of street photography and cinema. The series includes documentaries by and
about notable street photographers, but also showcases films that qualify,
in their own right, as works of moving-image street photography (such as
the work of Khalik Allah, Charlie Ahearn, Mira Nair, John Wilson, Heddy
Honigmann, Jem Cohen, and others), or that expand the notion of what
qualifies as street photography (John Smith’s *THE GIRL CHEWING GUM*,
William H. Whyte’s *THE SOCIAL LIFE OF SMALL URBAN SPACES*, or Tom
Jarmusch’s *SOMETIMES CITY*).

“We Are Here: Scenes from the Streets” is on view at the ICP (84 Ludlow
Street) from September 26, 2024-January 6, 2025. The exhibition is curated
by Guest Curator Isolde Brielmaier, with Noa Wynn, Independent Curatorial
Assistant.
Special thanks to all the filmmakers; to Jacque Donaldson Bailey, Izzy Dow,
Sara Ickow, Haley Kane, and Marley Trigg Stewart (ICP); and to Neal Block
(Magnolia Pictures); Bob Hunter (Icarus Films); Marian Luntz (Museum of
Fine Arts Houston); and Brian Meacham (Yale Film Archive).

*Eno House Movie Nights: NICOTINE CINEMA*
Durham Cinematheque announces a new film series in Hillsborough: Eno House
Movie Nights. First show is NICOTINE CINEMA.

I - Tom Whiteside dba Durham Cinematheque since 1991 - have been doing
NICOTINE CINEMA shows for 30 years, all kinds of films about tobacco. Every
show is a bit different. This one will feature two different versions
of *Tobaccoland
USA* (March of Time, 1939) filmed on the Buren Elis farm near Bahama and
the Liggett & Myers factories and warehouses in Durham. Also on the program
are *Princess Nicotine; or, The Smoke Fairy* (J. Stuart Blackton,
1909) and *Cigarette
Blues* (Les Blank and Alan Govenar, 1985) plus television commercials for
cigarettes and other dangerous things.

Tickets are $10. Age 18 and under is $5; age 10 and under is free with an
adult. Doors open at 7pm, come early, bring your friends, and hang out.
BYOB.

*** The next show will be December 7, THREE ARTISTS: Wanda Landowska, Chick
Strand, and Georgia O'Keeffe ***

If this works out I'll be doing one show a month. Hope to see you there.

Eno House looks like a church because that is what it used to be. Now it is
an event space, a nice little spot for screenings. NICOTINE CINEMA is a
16mm film show, runs about 80 minutes.

*Paradjanov's The Legend of Suram Fortress*
Codirected by Dodo Abashidze and Sergei Parajanov, this film is based on a
Caucasus Mountains legend that tells of the repeated efforts of the
Georgian people to construct a fortress against invaders. The fortress
continues to collapse until a fortune teller recalls a fateful prophecy.
The story, at once simple and marvelous (in the literal sense), unfolds in
a circular rather than linear manner, and its mythic possibilities are
realized wondrously in the film’s visuals. It is exquisite in the manner of
a painted miniature, with the jewel-like colors and decor of a medieval
illuminated manuscript.

*Afro Promo*
Co-curated by Jenni Olson and the late Black gay activist Karl Knapper,
this entertaining showcase of vintage movie trailers traces the evolution
of African American cinema through its most crucial period, 1952-1976.
Filled with insights on race and social dynamics, this fascinating
compendium of coming attractions explores an extensive range of stylistic
approaches—Blaxploitation, Comedy, Music Bio, Plantation Drama and
more—offering an outrageous joyride through motion picture history. Beyond
mere camp, these marvelously condensed gems crystallize a range of African
American identities and personalities, tracking the meteoric careers of
Sidney Poitier, James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams, Richard Pryor, Pam
Grier and others through their bold performances in movies both hugely
popular and practically forgotten. Hailed by The Boston Globe as "hilarious
and provocative," *Afro Promo* provides a compact glimpse at the
representation of African Americans through twenty-five dynamic years of
American cinema history. Please note: The condition of these original 35mm
archival prints varies — enjoy the wear and tear!

Directed by many filmmakers. Curated by Karl Knapper and Jenni Olson, US,
1997, 35mm, color and b&w, 75 min, Print source: HFA

*The Joy of Life & 575 Castro St. - Jenni Olson in Person*
Multitalented artist and writer Harry Dodge (*By Hook or By Crook*, *Cecil
B. Demented*) brings to life Olson's innovative story of a butch dyke in
San Francisco searching for love and self-discovery. Against a backdrop of
stunning 16mm landscape cinematography, this bold, lyrical voiceover film
evolves from a lesbian lust story to an inventive documentary delving into
explicit reflections on sexual encounters and offering up a quick look at
Frank Capra’s 1941 melodrama *Meet John Doe* before embarking on the
fascinating and previously untold history of the Golden Gate Bridge as a
suicide landmark. A true San Francisco experience, *The Joy of Life* also
includes poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti intoning his ode to the City by the
Bay, “The Changing Light,” and features music from legendary poet-painter
(and probable Golden Gate suicide) Weldon Kees.

*The Royal Road & Blue Diary - Jenni Olson in Person*
A cinematic essay in defense of remembering, *The Royal Road* offers up a
primer on Junipero Serra’s Spanish colonization of California and the
Mexican American War alongside intimate reflections on nostalgia, the
pursuit of unavailable women, butch identity and Alfred Hitchcock’s
*Vertigo*—all against a contemplative backdrop of 16mm urban California
landscapes and featuring a voiceover cameo by Tony Kushner. Olson’s bold,
innovative film combines rigorous historical research with lyrically
written personal monologue and relates these seemingly disparate stories
from an intimate, colloquial perspective to tell a one-of-a-kind California
tale.

*Scott Stark in Person*
>From an improbably epic single-shot journey across the varied designs of a
hotel’s carpets; through the shadows and surfaces of an abandoned
trainyard, a contemporary bowling alley, and family photos; to
mid-twentieth-century Kodachrome parades, Scott Stark traces, tracks, and
transforms everyday surfaces with a variety of cinematic tools. “I see each
film/video project as a ‘first film’ with its own cinematic language, one
that the viewer learns and engages with as the piece unfolds. This language
is shaped by the particular mechanics of each medium, in the same way
verbal language is shaped by the mechanics of the human mouth. Thus each
film charts the possibility of a pre-cinema experience, one that might have
evolved had not narrative and commerce been cinema’s prevailing
motivational forces” (Scott Stark).

-----

Over the past six decades, Nathaniel Dorsky and Jerome Hiler have created
extraordinary works of entrancement and immense fascination. Shortly after
they met—at a mid-1960s New York screening of Dorsky's *INGREEN*—their
lives became inexorably intwined. They relocated together from the opposite
coast to the Bay Area in the early-1970s (where they have lived and
primarily worked ever-after). Their distinctive filmmaking practices
developed independently, yet in parallel, with intermittent screenings of
their own shorts and others within their respective homes for themselves
and, occasionally, a handful of assorted friends. LUMINOUS ALCHEMY
REVISITED, in essence and intention, is inspired by those intimate
occasions.

For the uninitiated, the films of Hiler and Dorsky are temporary gateways
into an illusory realm. Exhibited in the absence of a soundtrack and at a
speed slightly decelerated to eighteen frames-per-second, their films
construct a collage of intumescent imagery that transcends the limitations
of the perceivable world. The five programs of the inaugural LUMINOUS
ALCHEMY were presented at Northwest Film Forum in June; …REVISITED
redirects that illustrious series into new territories with films absent
from the earlier screenings.

This season-specific quasi-retrospective, from *AUTUMN* sequentially to
*SUMMER *and, with *RULING STAR*, from summer back to winter, intermingles
the works of Dorsky and Hiler into two concise programs, each with
interrelated films by Gary Beydler, Deborah Stratman and Stan Brakhage.
Nearly ten films in all, each exhibited on the format of their creation:
16mm!

Report of Camera Obscura and with absolute appreciation to the associated

*Bergman’s Non-Verbals *& *Light Play: A Tribute to Maholy-Nagy* *Bergman’s
Non-Verbals*, Directed by Dušan Makavejev. US, 1978, 16mm, black & white,
30 min. Print source: HFA
*Light-Play: A Tribute to Moholy-Nagy*, Directed by Vlada Petrić. US, 1988,
16mm, black & white, 28 min. Print source: HFA “A film is nothing else but
the collection of your horrors,” asserted Dusan Makavejev, irreverent doyen
of film in Yugoslavia and a 1977-1978 visiting lecturer in Visual and
Environmental Studies at Harvard. During his stay on campus, Makavejev
taught a course alluringly named “Compressed Cinema,” consisting mostly of
“viewing a ninety-minute feature film in thirty minutes by projecting each
of its three reels side-by-side simultaneously.” He also devised an
analytic-pedagogic avant-garde film. The “Ingmar Bergman Dream Film
Experiment” (referred to by Mak and his assistant Matthew Duda as
“Bergman’s Non-Verbal Sequences”) was spawned to complement the
international “Bergman and Dreams” symposium, convened in the Carpenter
Center auditorium in January 1978. The work’s serial anatomy is simple
enough, as the artist-teacher-archivist-compiler recounts: “I collected
non-verbal sequences from Bergman’s films: *Persona*, *Wild Strawberries*,
all kinds of films. I had something like seventeen clips [nineteen to be
exact] and I tried to organize them into a one-hour Bergman film that
Bergman never made. It was clips from his films, but it was all him. I
didn’t do anything. I just found some order. We made a three-screen
presentation, with black-and-white dreams in the middle and then two
screens in color after half an hour, but without words. There was a world
appearing when you collected the clips and put them in order. Suddenly
there was something going from sequence to sequence … I think I managed to
get something that would look like a dream you can’t explain. The response
was very interesting: there was a big silence. People would not dare to
discuss it. It was a fantastic response.” In the audience at the
experiment’s sole performance was Stanley Cavell, who later reflected on
the oneiric collective experience (as well as on the three-minute silence
that followed) in a vivacious article. Thirty-five years later, researcher
Katarina Mihailovic sharply unpacked the project’s historico-conceptual
layers, while film scholar Tanja Vrvilo recreated it digitally at a
workshop in Sarajevo. The half-hour copy exhibited here is what remains of
Makavejev’s surrealist power-blending of Bergman in the Harvard Film
Archive vault.

The aphasic hypnagogic collage is followed by another video essay *avant la
lettre*—this one also envisioned locally. Vlada Petric, the Yugoslav-born
Henry Luce Chair of Cinema and HFA co-founder (alongside Cavell and
documentarian Robert Gardner), was also a productive, multifarious
filmmaker. Among his strongest yet least-discussed pieces is *Light-Play: A
Tribute to Moholy-Nagy*. In the dearth of secondary accounts, our best
decoder of the film is Petric himself. “This experimental film is a
Constructivist realization in the literal sense of the term: it represents
a montage deconstruction/reconstruction of the original short film
constructed by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in Germany, and based on his kinetic
sculpture *Light Modulator* [preserved at the Harvard Art Museums and to
this day still operational], which he made with the intention of using as
the subject of the film *Ein Lichtspiel: Schwarz, Weiss, Grau* (1930), an
extraordinary cinematic exemplification of his concept of ‘building an
art-object of different pieces through a preconceived mathematical
pattern.’ The original film consists of only forty-nine shots (many of them
with multiple exposure), mostly close-ups of the rotating modulator which,
under strong light and continuous motion, produces intricate optical
effects on the screen. Fascinated by such visual dynamism, I undertook
research to find more data related to Moholy-Nagy’s ideas about photography
and cinema, and was surprised to learn that his concepts evoke Dziga
Vertov’s ‘theory of Intervals,’ as well as his revolutionary idea of
kinesthetic resolution (i.e., the cinema’s unique capacity to stimulate in
the viewer motor-sensory responses through various kinds of movements
occurring on the screen). With this in mind, I began to devise a strategy
for re-editing Moholy-Nagy’s film by applying to it Vertov’s montage
principles in an aggressive manner, while at the same time following
Moholy-Nagy’s ‘pattern of three’ carried out in the modulator’s
construction.” …

To catalyze our unpacking of these works, the screening will be followed by
a conversation with Pavle Levi, Department Chair and Osgood Hooker
Professor of Fine Arts at Stanford University.

*Fear in the City (1181 Days Later or Smell of Rats) (Paura in città (1181
dni pozneje ali vonj po podganah))*, Directed by Davorin Marc. Yugoslavia,
1984, 35mm, color, 21 min. Print source: Slovenian Cinematheque

“The potential of film history in its cut-up form remains an open
possibility,” writes Catherine Russell in her recent *Archiveology*, a
monograph on reuse, recycling and borrowing in avant-garde and documentary
film. “Images and sounds are recordings that engage the senses, documents
that are mysterious and secretive until their energies are released in
flashes of recognition. Moving image artists are those who create these
sparks, which only occur in the presence of the viewer.” Rarely has a
cinema hijacked, pirated, embezzled and diverted already-existing cinematic
and televisual streams as spiritedly as alternative, amateur and
non-normative filmmaking in Yugoslavia. Rarely has a cinema ignited as many
sparks—or what Pavle Levi via Makavejev calls jolts—as in the abundant
state-endowed “kino klubs” that developed under Tito in the late 1950s and
60s. Not all of the eight chosen works originate from that influential
institutional context: Ljubomir Simunic (an “outsider’s outsider”)
embroidered his 8mm multiple-exposure extravaganzas independently, without
the aid of formal organizations, while Davorin Marc’s sublime meta-punk
firecracker* Fear in the City* was made in 1984 (at the age of twenty) as
ciné clubs and indeed the SFRY itself were on the decline. Marc’s film has
recently been restored and digitized by the Slovenian Cinematheque. Yet all
the shorts are united in their risky but never reckless—spectacular yet
always smart and thoughtful—use of (foreign) iconographies, citations and
aesthetico-historic references in ways that constitute neither
uncomplicated political critique nor myopic consumerist adoration. In
radical (and radically different) formal modes, they tune into, quote,
lift, absorb and détourn international(ist) trajectories of film not just
to “carry the principle of montage into history,” as Walter Benjamin put it
in the *Arcades Project*, but “to grasp the construction of history as
such.”

“The only way to subvert or challenge the world of images that we inhabit
is from within that world,” continues Russell. “The apparatus conceals
‘productive forces’ that can be redirected and restaged … Insofar as we
live in the society of the spectacle with no way out, we need to reuse the
remnants of past image cultures in order to better conceptualize the
future.” Yugoslav cineastes took Russell’s suggestion to heart, from Erna
Banovac’s eco-apocalyptic found-footage premonition (the author’s sole
surviving film, made under the hugely patriarchal auspices of Kino Klub
Beograd when she was eighteen) to Ljubisa Grlic’s *Reindeer, Dear Reindeer*,
a hypnotic quasi-readymade of which the filmmaker-scientist left no
account. Grlic’s opaque objet provocateur, as experimental cinema expert
Petra Belc describes it, is in all likelihood a structural piece of
re-photography (appropriating Norman McLaren) with a voiceover pulled from
a television nature show; the copy playing at Harvard is a brand-new
digital restoration. With *Straight Line*—the opener of film-multimedia
performer-extraordinaire Tomislav Gotovac’s “Belgrade trilogy”—we ride on
board a street train as it tracks down Revolution Boulevard in the
direction of homage. The film is an avowed, direct tribute both to the
titular George Stevens and Duke Ellington, as well as to the implicit yet
nonetheless vividly felt legacy of early train-affixed and
technomobility-fixated cinema. (If the Lumières had the audacity and tech
to mount their Cinématographe in the locomotive’s front instead of on a
platform tripod, *Straight Line* would have been the result.) The program’s
subdued first half wraps up with *Nocturne*, Vasko Pregelj’s arcanely
powerful assemblage of newspaper excerpts, superimposition and death.

The mood about-faces suddenly with Tatjana Dunja Ivanisevic, whose zappy
*Woman* (Yugoslavia’s earliest example of feminist cinema according to most
accounts) shares Pregelj’s enchantment with song, photography, and the
printed word, yet retains none of his somber haute metaphysics. Ivanisevic
luxuriates in John Lennon’s cover of “Stand By Me” and the proto-funk
anthem “Funky Broadway,” playing them from vinyl LPs while lounging in bed.
Attention then shifts to *Gerdy*; its unwieldy, entrancing combustion of
innumerable micro-samples—recorded over the course of years and edited
in-camera—needs to be experienced to be (dis)believed. Film critic Neil
Young, a Simunic superfan, notices Ken Russell’s *Mahler* (1974), *Fantastic
Voyage* (Richard Fleischer, 1966), and a Tina Turner variety broadcast
among Simunic’s sources, while the narcotic audioscape by Aphrodite’s Child
is unmistakable. *Last Tango in Paris* sustains the cinephilic line by
filming and double-filming cathected moments from Bertolucci’s erotic
classic, replacing Marlon Brando’s singular mumble with that of Jim
Morrison. Approaching (and in the same gesture exceeding) the aesthetic
conventions of video art, *Fear in the City* completes our media-historic
diagram. From newspapers, magazines, and other print media to photography,
cinema, television and ultimately video, Yugoslav film’s engagements with
international sights and sounds are rich. Let this chronological trip into
and out of the flow work as a potion—a psychoactive cruise of Benjaminian
“shocks” and Makavejevan “jolts,” “no matter what the outcome.”

will return for its Tenth Annual Report over a trio of days from 22 to
24-November (the weekend prior to Thanksgiving) in Petaluma, California,
fifty kilometers (or roughly thirty miles) north of the Golden Gate Bridge!

Over the course of this exceptional weekend, an assortment of wonderful and
remarkable films will screen at a temporary cinema constructed inside the
grand ballroom of the historic Hotel Petaluma. Programs of
longer-works-paired-with-shorter-works will be presented along with
filmmaker Q&As and related activities within walking-distance of the hotel.

The original Camera Obscura Film Society was founded in 1957 by Lawrence
Jordan and Bruce Conner (along with a handful of other likeminded
individuals) in the years following the conclusion of Frank Stauffacher's
legendary SFMOMA "Art in Cinema" series. COFS' eclectic programs continued
at occasional intervals until the screenings ceased a handful of years
later. The reconstituted Camera Obscura has attempted to recreate the
spirit of these programs and, for the past decade, it has done exactly that!

As in prior Reports, the complete program of screenings and events will
only be announced in the days prior to opening night. This particular
edition seems destined to be the most extraordinary of them all!

The “Zagreb School,” as André Martin and Georges Sadoul labeled it at the
1958 Cannes festival, denotes one of Yugoslav filmmaking’s strongest,
drollest and most internationally prominent episodes. Its zenith took place
from approximately 1957 (when newspaper cartoonists, illustrators, sound
designers, puppeteers and hand-drawn image virtuosos of various sorts
united under the aegis of the then-newly-initiated Zagreb Film) all the way
to 1980 and the economic calamities inhibiting the country that decade. The
group’s enormous success and popularity with transatlantic audiences is
evidenced not only by abundant contemporaneous screenings, series and
awards—New York’s Museum of Modern Art alone organized two extensive
retrospectives by the end of the 70s—but also by the existence of Zagreb
film prints in archives across North America, including at this
institution. Of the (at least) seventeen gorgeously saturated copies held
at the Harvard Film Archive, we have opted to project ten.

The influences, art-historical forerunners and philosophic currents from
which Zagreb-associated craftspeople drew have been documented thoroughly:
Walt Disney, Jiri Trnka, United Productions of America, German
expressionist painting, Dziga Vertov, New Objectivity, Dada and George
Grosz. Alongside them, to be sure, flourished a potent dose of Suprematism,
Surrealism and the abstract hyperlinear geometrics of Mondrian. For all
their conspicuous graphic indebtedness to modernist trends and ideas
however, the films also tread their own unique course. Paul Morton
appraises it precisely: “While the best-known Czech and Soviet animation
indulges national-folk stylizations and contemporary domestic issues, the
Zagreb School’s major themes are universal—industrialization, militarism,
environmentalism, nuclear annihilation, and urban alienation, as well as
the conforming pressures of commercialization and mass culture.” Especially
invested in narratives of the hapless “small man” (mali covjek),
ten-or-so-minute titles prolifically emerging from the modestly-resourced
Zagreb Film conveyor line took up motifs of existential, transhistoric
magnitude with the use of fiercely au courant and anti-illusionist
techniques.

The assortment on display here underlines some of the essential
preoccupations and expressive variety of artist-auteurs laboring within the
studio in the 60s: from Dusan Vukotic’s constructivism and the
anti-machinic, paranoid dread of Vatroslav Mimica (an animator and
soon-to-be eminent fiction director who himself could not draw) to
anxiety-infused capers of men (and indeed exclusively men) agonizing under
techno-modern duress and distress. There is even a lusciously baroque Edgar
Allan Poe adaptation courtesy of Pavao Stalter and Branko Ranitovic,
escorted by equal parts endearing and disquieting meta-gems on animation as
imaginative escape; the (im)possibility of interpersonal communication; and
humankind’s smallness in the face of flora, fauna and insecthood.
Transnational junctures abound, with intertitles often rendered in a buffet
of major languages (English, German, French, Italian and Russian, but at
times also Greek or Hebrew) and westward-oriented distribution agreements,
such as with America’s Janus Films. Eastmancolor, appropriately for the
period, is the color process of choice, with some of this screening’s
prints looking as superb as if never spooled through a projector.
