A cadence of images* Tuesday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm GMT+1 Sundays and public holidays, 10 am to 8 pm GMT+1 Closed on Mondays (except public holidays) The Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món presents this temporary exhibition about Maya Deren and her works. Defined as a filmmaker, writer, poet, dancer and ethnologist/anthropologist (she travelled to Haiti between 1947 and 1955), Maya Deren is essentially one of the most important avant-garde filmmakers and a key figure in twentieth-century experimental cinema. The many ways in which Deren has been labelled allow us to navigate her work and subtly allude to the perspective, signs, movements, dances and symbols that make her work unique and deeply interlinked. Her filmography is not extensive (six completed projects and several unfinished ones) and her work —experimental, speculative, intuitive, poetic, symbolic, visual and seemingly incomplete— consists of various interwoven fragments that are simply persistent, repetitive tendencies, albeit meaningful enough to eventually form a coherent whole. One image becomes another, just as one concept becomes another, threaded together by the camera or the written word. A constant unfolding of images and texts. Undoubtedly an inexhaustible cadence. The exhibition does not follow a chronological order, nor has a biographical structure. The exposition’s itinerary brings all these elements together and invites visitors to engage with a ‘poetic’, enveloping and profoundly visual arrangement which induces choreographic movement and leads to the final space: the one devoted to her project on Haiti. The exhibition runs through her six finished films, as well as some of her unfinished projects, some of which are displayed in audiovisual format and others through a selection of stills. Written text comes to the fore in the final space, which is organised as an ‘archive’. It displays a sequence of images and texts, as well as a cadence of voices which accompany Deren’s: the voices of Alejo Carpentier or Edwidge Danticat. Catalogue The exhibition comes with a book containing a text written by the curator and three essays on Haiti by the lecturer in modern and contemporary history at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona David Martínez Fiol, the writer Edwidge Danticat and the professor of folklore and comparative literature at the University of Abuja, Nigeria, Gboyega Kolawole. It concludes with an extensive biography of Deren. Inside the book is a fold-out with a selection of stills from Deren’s films, designed to be opened and displayed as an object, forming the shape of a star. This visual and textual interplay captures the essence of both the exhibition and the filmmaker’s work. *___________________________________________________________________* *March 7 - 15* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=02e295fb36&e=857b71a9cb> times vary, see below (all times in ET), 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *MATÍAS PIÑEIRO SELECTS* In conjunction with the week-long premiere run of *YOU BURN ME* <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=a325606785&e=857b71a9cb>, Matías Piñeiro has guest-curated a selection of works that influenced the making of the new film, or reflect the form, technique, or themes of *YOU BURN ME*.

Long-lost critic Brian Darr is back in his SF hometown for one week only, so now is thee time to experience his para-cinematic sound-and-image celebration of the unlikeliest record label of the late 20th Century...a remote Maine launching pad for obscure avant garde composers, best remembered for its wild psychedelic covers. The second half belongs to J. Lee's Warm Spell, a 6-person A/V ensemble using overhead projectors, rear-projection, shadow puppets, and live musical performance, to enact their *Pan-Galactic Mating Rites*. Opening are playful riffs from lo-fi intermedia, including glasses-less 3-D, jug-whistling, the Trololo Man, and Len Lye's kinetic sculpture. *MONDAY, MARCH 17, 2025* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Boathouse Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=cb9ef9f845&e=857b71a9cb> 7:30pm PT, 822 N River Street, Portland, Oregon 97227 *Carl Diehl – Painless Magic* In this 65 minute documentary, Carl Diehl chronicles the histories of his grand-uncle — the magician, vaudevillian, and comedy emcee, Werner “Dorny” Dornfield (1892 -1982). This kaleidoscopic account of curiosity, camaraderie, and creativity shimmers with ephemera from the Golden Age of stage magic and beyond, and delights with anecdotes from magicians, historians, & Dorny’s oldest surviving relatives. Dorny established magic clubs in Chicago in the 1910s and performed soldier-actor gigs across Europe at the end of WWI. He toured North America with Broadway star Elsie Janis, was friends with Houdini and Thurston, and orchestrated elaborate showcases in the Magic Capital of the World. As with any magic act, misdirection abounds, and *Painless Magic* wanders into a world bigger than the portrait it first appears to be! Through conversations with experimental filmmakers, performance artists, musicians, and philosophers, Carl Diehl unveils shared sensibilities across contexts of art, magic, & everyday life. *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Princeton University <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=b2b54c77fd&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm ET, James Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St., Princeton, NJ *Seeing the Big Picture Film Series: Jennifer Reeves* This film screening series organized by Professor Christopher Harris features 16mm analog films by internationally celebrated experimental filmmakers working at the forefront of artists’ films in a variety of idiosyncratic forms, using handmade methods, and unconventional materials.

After all, what kinds of images would appear in a film festival other than those that move? The images here, however, take movement further, in often unexpected directions. They accompany travelers, like the boy in Tiffany Sia’s *A Child Already Knows *(2024), who is too young to understand his family’s escape from Cold War-era Shanghai, but nevertheless grasps something of the journey in the cartoon images that float alongside him. In Malaz Usta’s *space_invaders.exe* (2024), archival footage, videogames, and a computer-generated voice kaleidoscopically evoke the experience of a displaced person, just as they themselves are uprooted and denaturalized from their sources. The movement of images exceeds that of the filmmaker in Adam Piron’s *Dau:añcut // Moving Along Image* (2022), which tracks the consumption and circulation of native American imagery worldwide. In the film’s key example, after a simple Google search for “ukrainian tattoo american indian chief,” Piron is surprised to discover the face of his relative emblazoned on the arm of a Ukrainian soldier. Finally, multiple speeds and moments of migration are rendered in Callum Hill’s *Solo Damas *(2016), from women riding the “only women” cars in the subway, to pilgrims gathering at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, and, furthest back, the slow glide along the ancient Aztec waterways of Xochimilco. As these films remind us, the movement of images is nothing to be taken for granted. Sometimes, they move the viewer along with them. - PROGRAM 4: NEAR NOWHERE @ 9:00 PM - Films about cities that are evolving and animals that are going extinct (or maybe it’s the other way around). In-between architectures, repetition, and isolation. At the other end of the transbay tunnel, heaven awaits… or is that an office cubicle? *Near Nowhere*, Nora Zubizarreta, 2024, RT: 05:56 minutes *Speculative Speciation: Passenger Pigeon*, Jacklyn Brickman, Sharon Gill, 2024, RT: 05:28 minutes *Species of Analogy*, J.M.

The roles we play, the scenes we steal. Stand-ins, stars, and stunt doubles. Opposition politicians disguised as commercial photographers, aviators cast as ventriloquist dummies, and cherry pie playing itself. *Cherry Pie*, Ella Berke, 2024, RT: 01:08 minutes *The FLOWER CULT of Amelia Earhart*, Rebecca Barten, 2024, RT: 05:45 minutes *I’m Not Your Monster*, Karen Yasinsky, 2024, RT: 04:33 minutes *Ode to R.G.

He has invented phytography, a technique that combines plants and photochemical emulsion. *Whirlwind*, 1998, 9 minutes, color, 16mm, NL *Energy Energy*, 1999, 7 minutes, black& white, 16mm, NL *The Mulch Spiders Dream*, 2018, 14 minutes, colour, 16mm, UK *A Perfect Storm*, 2022, 3 minutes, colour, 16mm, UK *Babbler, Fairy and Thrush*, 2022, 4 minutes, black&white, 16mm, UK *Oxygen*, 2023, 6 minutes, colour, 16mm, UK *Agapanthus*, 2024, 6 minutes, black&white, 16mm, UK *Liquidator*, 2010, 8 minutes, colour, (35mm) 2K, NL *Wilderness Series*, 2016, 14 minutes, colour, (35mm) 2K cinemascope, UK *SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 2025* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=c72fe2d8e3&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st), San Francisco, CA *SISTERS' PICTURES* LYNNE SACHS + SCHEDELBAUER + KUC We've assembled a godsmackin' troika of the most superhumanly gifted women makers of our time, a truly fortuitous curatorial *coup* that coincides with Sachs' visit to the Bay Area. She is showing a ½ hr. cut from her her new feature project, *Every Contact Leaves a Trace*, and fielding questions about her intentions and trajectories with this current long-form. AND: Old ATA comrade (relocated to Berlin) Sylvia Schedelbauer finally peeps back up with her 24-min. multi-layered portrait of her mother, also settled in Berlin (from Japan), an astounding feat of family-archive excavation (mostly from S8 color!) that is ever-so-meticulously ordered into a profoundly resonant, and revelatory montage. The third component of this collective debut comes from Kamila Kuc, the formerly London-based cine-artiste who has now moved to the Coast, *Her Plot of Blue Sky*. This jaw-dropping, never-before-seen penetration of Moroccan women's society and sub-culture (Amazigh)--in fact enabling the women to use cameras(!)--gives voice to a huge marginalized population who are accustomed to being shuttled from forced marriage to prostitution to institutionalized old age dead-ends, by an oppressively patriarchal Arab state. *ONGOING* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* Riverwest Radio <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=56487b810f&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7 *THE LONG CONVERSATION* THE LONG CONVERSATION with Xav Leplae and Stephanie Barber is on indefinite hold.
