She has composed more than fifty experimental films exploring the beauty of the botanical world, scenes of daily life in various towns and villages, and extraordinary moments of ordinary existence. Her films are methodically composed entirely in camera, using a precise, frame-by-frame technique which, when projected, culminates in an astonishing perceptual experience of light, color, form, and motion. Originally trained as a painter and sculptor in Lima and London, Lowder turned to filmmaking as both an artistic practice and method for research in photographic and visual perception. In focusing her research on visual perception in relation to the cinematographic means of expression, Lowder concentrated on the different ways one can modify the graphic and photographic visual features of the image as it transforms in time. This work led her to compose the image in the camera, usually by interweaving the frames as the film strip passes the lens several times. This way of working is relatively meticulous and complex as it means recording a succession of images, frame by frame, in the camera, so that they appear simultaneously when seen projected on the screen. Active since 1977 programming rarely shown films, Lowder was co-founder of the Archives du film expérimental d’Avignon (AFEA, 1981) an archive that collected hundreds of 16mm films and paper documents, and published several books, including The Visual Aspect, Canadian expérimental films (AFEA, 1991), L’Image en mouvement (AFEA, 2002), and Images / discours (AFEA, 2006). *SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2025* *October 25 - December 21* Venue type: *Live, physical event* argos <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=2e4ff8f351&e=857b71a9cb> ongoing, argos centre for audiovisual arts, Werfstraat 13 Rue du Chantier, 1000 Brussels, Belgium *Rewind, Replay: Vidéographie* argos is pleased to welcome you for the official opening of *Rewind, Replay: Vidéographie*, an exhibition revisiting the revolutionary Belgian television programme *Vidéographie*, aired on RTBF between 1976 and 1986. *Vidéographie* transformed public television into a space for artistic experimentation, cultural debate, and social critique.

Making ample use of chromakey, collage, and a psychedelic sensibility, works like *SUEÑO DE SERPIENTE* and *LOKOPHONIA* helped establish Mexico City’s experimental video scene and are among the most striking early artistic responses to the AIDS crisis in Mexico. Despite his influence, Hernández Francés’s work has rarely been seen since his death from AIDS-related complications in 1995. The work in this program was rescued by video art pioneer Ximena Cuevas as part of her acclaimed compilation Los Archivos X and is being reintroduced today through the efforts of artist Jorge Bordello. This screening is presented in collaboration with Visual AIDS, in tandem with the Third Annual Visual AIDS Research Symposium at the Museum of Modern Art on October 24. With an introduction by Jorge Bordello. *SERPENT’S DREAM / SUEÑO DE SERPIENTE* 1991, 8 min, analogue-video-to-digital *DEADLY SINS / PECADOS CAPITALES* 1993, 9 min, analogue-video-to-digital *AH CABALA VIDA* 1993, 6 min, analogue-video-to-digital *LOKOPHONIA* 1991, 11 min, analogue-video-to-digital Total running time: ca. 40 min *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Other Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=39d7faa178&e=857b71a9cb> 8pm PT, ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st), San Francisco, CA *BODY MODIFICATION* ANGELO MADSEN: A BODY TO LIVE IN Arguably America's most prominent trans maker, Angelo (*North by Current*) Madsen has placed their West Coast theatrical premiere here in thee feisty microcinema that, for almost four decades now, has stood up for queer empowerment, sex-worker rights, and the Modern Primitive movement. In fact, *ReSearch*'s V Vale, Paul King, and Cleo Dubois--widow of the subject of tonight's doc--are all on hand tonight to introduce Madsen's masterwork, a feature-length exploration of the huge human community who find erotic, psychic, and spiritual satisfaction in binding, piercing, and tattooing their bodies as they please...a subculture aptly represented by the life and career of recently deceased Fakir Musafar. Dubois gave Madsen free rein to bring to light more than a hundred hours of previously unseen recordings, to be stitched together with Musafar's stunning photographs and the voices of performance artists Annie Sprinkle and Ron Athey. While Madsen's provocative profile questions assumptions about “masculine/feminine”, and considers issues of BDSM control and consent, it also acknowledges the complexity of other ethical issues surrounding the practices, faces the charges of (Native) cultural appropriation, and forces audiences to think critically about the line(s) between free individual expression and reckless self-harm. *SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2025* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Photo Farm <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=c3c574d21c&e=857b71a9cb> 10am - 12pm ET, Photo Farm, 722 Sumner Spring Lane, Chapel Hill, NC *Forgotten Formats: odd corners in the history of image making* Join experimental filmmaker, film collector, and analog media historian Tom Whiteside for his first-ever coffee talk at PHOTO FARM. Tom takes us through an idiosyncratic discussion and demonstration of unusual photographic formats and gadgets, both still and moving, that were once common but are not widely used or understood today. This journey through history includes stereoscopy, flipbooks, magic lanterns, the Kodak Autographic camera, various home movie formats, the Minox and other subminiatures, microscopic photographs, Polaroids, Polavision, Pixelvision, and more. The morning includes hands-on inspection of several of these devices and images that they made, plus a display of "Bonne Fete," a unique 35mm slide presentation. Tom has been creating and presenting film programs under the Durham Cinematheque moniker since 1991. His work has been exhibited at the North Carolina Museum of Art, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, Black Maria Film Festival, and many other venues. He was a Visiting Artist in the North Carolina Community College system and taught silent film history at Duke. Tom lives in Hillsborough where he currently runs Eno House Movie Nights.

Following that we will screen the new feature film *Outsider Artists* made by Dave and Greg Clifford which looks at the 40-year history of the Irish punk band Paranoid Visions as well as the political and cultural climate from which they emerged and the legacy of the subcultures which surrounded and sustained them. *THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2025* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Expanding Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=c55e7f8dbd&e=857b71a9cb> 19.30 GMT, Screening Room (G.04) 50 George Square, Edinburgh EH8 9LH, Scotland, UK *Expanding Cinema Presents: Laborberlin* The University of Edinburgh's Expanding Cinema research group, in collaboration with Goethe Institute, presents a programme of eight short-form works made by members of collective, artist-run filmlab, LaborBerlin. Here, artisanal, photochemical practices are actively explored and engaged by members, as well as subverted, remixed and hacked with modern technology in order to explore and expand the boundaries of the medium. The programme brings together work crafted on small-gauge film, across 8mm, 16mm and 35mm, and a number of the works will be projected from 16mm prints. We are thrilled to be welcoming Jules Leaño and Sophie Watzlawick from LaborBerlin, to speak about their work at the collective, and the creative possibilities of working with analogue film in a time of digital prevalence. *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Barbican Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=2b4aa10642&e=857b71a9cb> 19:00 (GMT), Cinema 2, Barbican Cinema, Silk Street, London, EC2Y 8DS, England, UK *Both Sides Now 10* Curated and produced by videoclub (UK) and Dr. Isaac Leung (HK), Both Sides Now 10 presents a dynamic compilation of artists’ film and video works from the UK and Hong Kong.

Grounded in the strategies of experimental cinema, the selected works draw on trance, telepathy, memory fracture, and ritual transformation, reconceiving the screen not as a passive surface, but as a psychic interface through which time, voice, and identity are disassembled and reconfigured into new perceptual architectures. The title references “remote viewing,” a Cold War-era term for extrasensory perception conducted across distance. While formalized within military and parapsychological research during the 1970s, its conceptual lineage extends further, entwined with modern psychology, hypnotic trance, spirit communication, occult practice, and early scientific inquiries into the unconscious. Reframed here as both historical reference and curatorial metaphor, it positions consciousness as a medium that traverses spatial, temporal, and affective thresholds. This program presents a focused selection from the forthcoming exhibition at MoNTUE, Taipei (2026), featuring works by Tony Oursler, Ho Tzu Nyen, Sky Hopinka, Jeremy Shaw, and Hsu Che-Yu, among others.

But it wasn't long before his special fusion of genre savviness and contemporary pop-cult dread took him to Hollywood, which he similarly awed with even more masterful re-animations of classic narrative modes into the up-to-date stylizations of psychological horror seen in his *Room 237*, *The Nightmare*, and *A Glitch in the Matrix*. The time has finally come when the dark visionary's woefully underseen art-films are readily available and appreciated in an incredibly rich program of the mature auteur's shorts...in fact perfect for our annual Halloween haunting. Here in the flesh, Mr. Ascher himself leads the evening's deep dive over the edge of modern film angst, including his infamous *The S from Hell*, *Visions of Terror*, *Primal Screen*, *The First Ventriloquist*, a music video, a collaboration with Doris Wishman(!), and our own 16mm monster mash. Come in costume for Tricks AND Treats!! *SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2025* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=e03dc3bda0&e=857b71a9cb> 18:30 (CET), Carrer de Montalegre, 5 08001 Barcelona, España *Xcèntric: My Tongue is Lesbian* Beyond their differences, the cinematic poetics of Barbara Hammer and Sandra Lahire share the same radical question: how do we position the body in the struggles (and care) running through the intimate and the shared? This programme runs alongside the two Aula Xcèntric talks, aimed at the publics of Barbara Hammer (4 November) and the cinema of Sandra Lahire (18 November). In the seventies, Barbara Hammer was a pioneer in exploring radically lesbian and feminist themes, sensibilities and forms in cinema. Along with films that document the struggle for the political, psychological and sexual emancipation of women, her cinema takes the body (her own and that of friends, colleagues and lovers) as a starting point for empathetic, affirmative and intensely lyrical meditations on intimacy and lesbian pleasure (as in *Sync Touch* and *Double Strength*), and female communities (which in *Sappho* take the mythological form of collective prayer). By way of an intermission in the session, the reactions of different spectators to Hammer’s films, documented in *Audience*, consider whether the cinema can be a space for recognition, contact and shared desire. In the Conservative England of the 1980s and ‘90s, Sandra Lahire also worked with her own body to expose the polymorphic violences of the capitalist patriarchy. Her first film, *Arrows*, is an eclectic exploration of anorexia and the obsessive awareness of the body’s fragility, while *Night Dances* adapts Sylvia Plath’s poem of the same name to create a meticulous musical montage that evokes the spectral nature of death, family, religion and love. An excerpt from an unfinished project by Lahire, *Eerie* is the briefest evocation of an interplay of glances and desires. *Sappho*, Barbara Hammer, 1978, 16 mm, 7 min *Sync Touch*, B.

Larry Gottheim taught film-making and cinema aesthetics at Binghamton University until 1998. This was a program he started in the late 1960’s, the first regular undergraduate program dealing with film as a personal art. His early silent films such as *FOG LINE*, *DOORWAY*, *BARN RUSHES* are widely known. In the 1970’s he made *ELECTIVE AFFINITIES*, a set of 4 long films that explore complex relationships between sound and image. While still formal and concerned with sound and image, some later films include material that would ordinarily be seen in a documentary mode (*MACHETE GILETTE*.... *MAMA*.) His many years’ involvement with Vodou in Haiti led to a video work *CHANTS AND DANCES FOR HAND*. His works have been included in numerous museums, festivals and other venues throughout the world. *Natural Selection* 1983, 16mm transferred to digital, color, sound, 35 min *Entanglement* 2022, video, color, sound, 24 min.
