The exhibition brings together archival episodes, thematic compilations, and contemporary works inspired by the programme’s legacy. Throughout its ten years, *Vidéographie* featured pioneering local and international artists who shaped the beginnings of video art. Join us for the festive opening evening on October 25, be among the first to discover the exhibition, and celebrate with us at argos.

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 Reframed here as both historical reference and curatorial metaphor, it positions consciousness as a medium that traverses spatial, temporal, and affective thresholds.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. Guest-programmed by Alice, Nienpu Ko.

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.

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.

Special attention is devoted to the competitive section on environmental issues on eco-sustainability, respect for and protection of the environment, good ecological practices, and climate change. *WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2025* *November 5 - 7* Venue type: *Live, physical event* San Francisco Cinematheque <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=969a9a646c&e=857b71a9cb> times vary, see below, various locations, see below *Larry Gottheim: The Red Thread* “Early on, Gottheim […] challenged us to rethink our conventional experiences with filmgoing: basically, to start over by deepening and broadening our perception of what the elements of celluloid cinema were and how they could be used. Now, half a century later, his film *Entanglement* (2022) is a kind of meta-haiku that challenges us to work at comprehending, as best we can, the media-saturated world of the 21st century that we are all awash in.” (Scott MacDonald, from *The Read Thread: Larry Gottheim and His Films*) Among the meanings of The Red Thread are the connections that run from one film to the next, and the threads that run from the films to issues of biography, philosophy, psychology, film theory, social issues, ritual and ceremony. (Larry Gottheim) Working in film since the late 1960s, the cinema of Larry Gottheim is an observational cinema, rewarding contemplation, stillness and active intellectual engagement and offering uncannily commonplace imagery rife with elusive metaphor and/or accumulating into densely immersive conceptual conundra. In Gottheim’s films, time slows, hesitates and seems to move in novel and non-linear directions, the circularity of experience a recurring aspect of the master filmmaker’s rich body of work. Gottheim’s recent book, *The Red Thread: Larry Gottheim and His Films* (published 2024 by Eyewash Books and the Film-Makers’ Cooperative) is a ruminative and musing career-spanning culmination, teasing out longitudinal threads and uncanny occurrences in the oeuvre, presenting the artists’ body of work as a multi-faceted whole, a throughline of thought and material-based philosophy. In celebration of *The Read Thread*, Cinematheque is honored to present a three-program residency presenting selections from the artist’s vast body of work, from early single-shot films, still lifes and nature studies to the complex sound/image constructions of later work to the very recent films completed 2019–2024. This series is presented in partnership with the Roxie Theater, Gray Area and Shapeshifters Cinema with Larry Gottheim in person at all screenings.

All works screened in 16mm. *Corn* (1970); 16mm, color, silent, 11 minutes. *Fog Line* (1970); 16mm, color, silent, 11 minutes. *Harmonica* (1971); 16mm, color, sound, 11 minutes. *The Red Thread* (1987); 16mm, color, sound, 17 minutes. --- Nov 6 @ 7:30pm PT - Program Two: The Garden is Closed—Mnemosyne + Tree of Knowledge --- GRAY AREA / GRAND THEATER 2665 Mission Street San Francisco, CA The Red Thread series centerpiece features two mid-period masterworks which confound the linear experience of time through complex reversals, repetitions and elaborate restructurings of sound/image relationships, films in which time runs backward and forwards at the same time, reflective films pondering paranoia, remembrance, grief, childhood and aging. (Steve Polta) *Mnemosyne Mother of Muses* (1986) by Larry Gottheim; 16mm screened as digital video, color, sound, 18 minutes. *Tree of Knowledge (Elective Affinities, Part 4)* (1980) by Larry Gottheim; 16mm screened as digital video, color, sound, 60 minutes. --- Nov 7 @ 7pm PT - Program Three: Knots & Entanglements --- SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA 567 5th Street Oakland, CA Cinematheque’s whirlwind survey of Larry Gottheim’s works wraps at Shapeshifters Cinema with later period films and recent digital videos, each a dense and sensorially confrontational collage of off-the-cuff cinematography and/or collaborative encounter, from *"Sorry/Hear Us"* (1984), an open-ended group project exploring temporal and linguistic reversal to recent digital works *Entanglement* (2022) and *A Private Room* (2024), each a confounding rebus-like audio/visual puzzlment. (Steve Polta) *Thought* (1970) by Larry Gottheim; 16mm screened as digital video, color, silent, 8 minutes. *“Sorry/Hear Us”* (1986) by Larry Gottheim; 16mm screened as digital video, b&w, sound, 8 minutes. *Entanglement* (2022) by Larry Gottheim; digital video, color sounds, 24 minutes. *A Private Room* (2024) by Larry Gottheim; digital video, color, sound, 10 minutes. *___________________________________________________________________* *November 5 - 14* Venue type: *Live, physical event* la lumière collective <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=3c746e7e4d&e=857b71a9cb> times vary, see FB event <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=e7223eb7a9&e=857b71a9cb> WORM (Rotterdam, PB) ; L’Etna (Montreuil, FR) ; Atelier MTK / le 102 (Grenoble, FR) ; Dodeskaden (Marseille, FR) ; Alternativa Festival (Barcelone, ESP) *DIFFRACTION: European Tour* Presented by la lumière collective and proposed by co-director Emma Roufs, DIFFRACTION is an experimental cinema program that invites viewers to discover the work of six Montreal-based artists who constantly question their relationship with the moving image. In the first part, viewers discover six short 16mm films by Samy Benammar, Charles-André Coderre, Emma Roufs, Malena Szlam, Benjamin R.Taylor and Erin Weisgerber. The films offer a sensitive, visceral, photochemical and analog experience, in which we find life through film, and film as an integral part of life.

Eros’s contributions to the experimental film community have been as unquantifiable as they are enormous. Above and beyond his visible production as a filmmaker, artist, and curator – not to mention as a longtime staff member of Anthology, where he has played a crucial role in sustaining the institution, both practically and philosophically – he has played the more invisible role of catalyzing agent, inspiring generations of experimental filmmakers with his boundless energy, enthusiasm, creativity, inventiveness, and knowledge, and his radically welcoming spirit. In the wake of his recent exhibition at Microscope Gallery, we present three programs surveying his film, video, and expanded cinema work, including his collaborations with Aline Mare, Jeanne Liotta, and many other collaborators past and present. In keeping with Eros’s gleefully multimedia approach, the screenings will encompass films, digital works, projector performances, slideshows, and more! “Bradley Eros is a mediamystic maverick, who prefers the night & the perfume of eau de cinema. Eros is an artist-catalyst actively involved in diverse aspects of the New York underground, working with myriad media – experimental film & video, collage, photography, poetry, performance, sound, text, installation, expanded & contracted cinema – as well as a curator, designer, researcher, composer & investigator. Concepts include: Mediamystics, Optipus, ephemeral cinema, Erotic Psyche, subterranean science, Vampÿrates, Mushroom Archive, Ocula, cinema povera, metaBody, poetic accidents, fragmentstein, musique plastique, Oysters of the Id, Narcolepsy Cinema, Artaud-Butoh, The Owl of Minerva, Velvet Hermetic System, Imageless Film & Black Hole Cinema.” –Bradley Eros November 7 at 7:30 PM BRADLEY EROS, PGM 1: BRADLEY EROS / JEANNE LIOTTA: MEDIAMYSTICS <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=6de04eff9f&e=857b71a9cb> November 8 at 7:00 PM BRADLEY EROS, PGM 2: EROS & OTHERS: COLLABORATIONS 1 <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=128b09bae5&e=857b71a9cb> November 8 at 9:30 PM BRADLEY EROS, PGM 3: EROS & OTHERS: COLLABORATIONS 2 <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=a33ae8321a&e=857b71a9cb> November 9 at 7:30 PM BRADLEY EROS, PGM 4: EROS.ION: SOLO WORKS <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=a653782030&e=857b71a9cb> *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Filmmakers Coop <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d0a1c66ab3&e=857b71a9cb> 18:00 (EST), 475 Park Ave South, 6th floor, New York, NY *Tav Falco Presents A Troika of Sui Generis Films* Legendary musician, filmmaker, and multimedia artist Tav Falco (whose moving image work recently joined the collection of The Film-Makers' Cooperative) visits the FMC Screening Room to present a troika of sui generis films, including his avant-garde feature THE URANIA TRILOGY. *Navigators* by Noah Teichner (2022) 35mm-to-digital, 85 minutes *The Violinist* by Winsome Brown (2009) 16mm-to-digital, 44 minutes *The Urania Trilogy* by Tav Falco (2024) 16mm-to-digital, 129 minutes *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* San Francisco Cinematheque <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=f829d5e9ed&e=857b71a9cb> 12pm PT, BRAVA THEATER CENTER 2781 24th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 *The Light Out West* Screendance and Bay Area Avant-Garde Cinema 1940s–1950s Presented in association with the San Francisco Dance Film Festival and ChromaDiverse This screening and presentation features works that synthesize the languages of dance and film that emerged from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s Art in Cinema screenings in the mid-1940s. The Light Out West takes audiences on a journey into post-World War II San Francisco, illuminating how early dance film evolved alongside the West Coast experimental film movement and how choreographic approaches manifested in experimental film forms. The screening will also serve as a call to action to raise awareness about art archival initiatives in light of the closure of longstanding arts archives & institutions in the San Francisco Bay Area, and focus on the work of marginalized filmmakers whose work was often disregarded in their day. The program will be preceded by a contextual introduction by SFDFF Staff member Clare Schweitzer, whose article Lone Mountain College’s San Francisco Dance Film Festival 1976-1978 was published in the most recent edition of the International Journal of Screendance.

Returning to the site of her very earliest retrospective, Lynne blesses the first section of our semi-annual SisPix with an hour of her engaged oeuvre: Beginning with a brief reading from her *Hand Book: A Manual on Performance, Process, and the Labor of Laundry*--even another perfect-bound bundle of Lynne's image-text brilliance--she proceeds with *The Washing Society* cine-excerpt that best complements that new release, then clothes-pins her abortion-rights-ritual short *Contractions* to our riveted line-of-sight, and closes her Artist's Talk with a few choice chapters from her forthcoming feature, *Every Contact Leaves a Trace*. Tonight's second set of women's work is constituted by a quintet of feminist films that parlay personal insights into the public sphere: Shapeshifter Kathleen Quillian's *Wildflower Season* considers her daughters' comings-of-age, Virginia's Sasha Waters' *Fragile* picks up the thread, correlating a parallel trajectory into one's middle-age, Sacramento State's Jenny Stark spatializes the metaphor with her *Where Your Road Ends, Mine Begins*, Caribbean-based Karla Betancourt's *New Indigo Wave* extols the organic plant-based inks of Oaxaca, Mexico, and East Bay artiste Kate Dollemayer's 16mm *Cycladic Thermometer* imagines female figurines from ancient Greece as possible agents for healing the wounds of the world. *SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2025* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=6322d896a3&e=857b71a9cb> 4:30pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *EC: HOLLIS FRAMPTON* *ZORNS LEMMA* (1970, 60 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.) “A major poetic work. Created and put together by a very clear eye-head, this original and complex abstract work moves beyond the letters of the alphabet, beyond words and beyond Freud. If you don’t understand it the first time you see it, don’t despair, see it again! When you finally ‘get it,’ a small light, possibly a candle, will light itself inside your forehead.” –Ernie Gehr *HAPAX LEGOMENA I: (nostalgia)* (1971, 36 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives, MoMA, and the NYU Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program, with funding from the National Film Preservation Foundation.) “In *(nostalgia)* the time it takes for a photograph to burn (and thus confirm its two-dimensionality) becomes the clock within the film, while Frampton plays the critic, asynchronously glossing, explicating, narrating, mythologizing his earlier art, and his earlier life, as he commits them both to the fire of a labyrinthine structure; for Borges too was one of his earlier masters, and he grins behind the facades of logic, mathematics, and physical demonstrations which are the formal metaphors for most of Frampton’s films.” –P.
