 NICK ZEDD PROGRAM 1
  THE RETURN OF NICK ZEDD, PROGRAM 1: POLICE STATE PRESERVED AND OTHER
  WORKS Share + Film Notes Filmmaker in person! An anti-social renaissance
  man for our times, Nick Zedd is a notorious filmmaker, writer, painter,
  actor, political satirist, and "First Minister of Protocol" for The
  Cinema of Transgression, the New York filmmakers movement he spearheaded
  25 years ago whose reverberations are still being felt in dark corners
  today. Punk in attitude and ultra-DIY in approach, Zedd's eye-popping,
  shocking, and often hilarious films and videos employ the mysterious
  powers of xenomorphosis, a term he coined to describe what happens when
  the "domain wall of an alternate universe smashes your reality tunnel
  and neurological re-engineering occurs." Nick returns for a rare visit
  from his new home in Mexico City to bring us this two-program survey of
  his classic and contemporary work, as well as to premiere Anthology's
  brand-new 16mm preservation of his masterpiece POLICE STATE. Famous for
  being infamous, Nick Zedd is the underground, and you should come see
  why. "Nick Zedd makes violent, perverted art films from Hell – he's my
  kind of director!" –John Waters PROGRAM ONE: POLICE STATE PRESERVED AND
  OTHER WORKS THE BOGUS MAN (1980, 11 minutes, 16mm-on-DVD) Depicts the
  release of information concerning the cloning of the President of the
  United States. Starring David McDermott, Lawrence Oliver Cherry, and
  Rafik. THRUST IN ME (1984, 8 minutes, Super 8mm-on-DVD) Co-directed with
  Richard Kern, THRUST IN ME defies description. Starring Zedd (in dual
  roles), Margot Damien, and Don Houston. POLICE STATE (1987, 18 minutes,
  16mm) Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from The Andy
  Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. A prime document of
  pre-gentrification Lower East Side, POLICE STATE ranks high as one of
  the most cogent, comedic, and enduring works of the 1980s underground
  film scene. Starring Zedd, Rockets Redglare, Flip Crowley, and
  Willoughby Sharp. WAR IS MENSTRUAL ENVY (1992, 20-minute excerpt,
  16mm/DVD triple projection) A mind-bending multiple-projection blow-out
  with an emphasis on the exotic featuring the talents of Kembra Pfahler,
  Annie Sprinkle, Ari Roussimoff, and Steven Oddo. WHOREGASM (1988, 11
  minutes, 16mm/DVD triple projection) "If this film doesn't land him in
  jail, I don't know what will. The first print was already seized by the
  Canadian police back in May ('89)…and Zedd narrowly escaped arrest when
  he showed it in Tompkins Square Park this summer to an audience of winos
  and beggars who got so excited they performed a circle jerk in front of
  the bandshell." –FILM THREAT 18 ECSTASY IN ENTROPY (1999, 15 minutes,
  16mm) A group of warrior lapdancers struggle to overthrow the
  authoritarian structures of corporate state capitalism. In between a
  succulent blowjob, the naked superwomen punch and wrestle in a
  voluptuous cataclysm of feminine ferocity while a chihuahua named Pinky
  sniffs at their feet. Stars Annie Sprinkle, Taylor Mead, Brenda Bergman,
  and Jaiko Suzuki. WHY DO YOU EXIST? (1998, 11 minutes, 16mm) A series of
  close-ups of real urban 'types' in which the camera is returned to its
  Edison-era status as a simple recording device. Featuring Brenda
  Bergman, Kembra Pfahler, Dr. Ducky DooLittle, Mike Diana, and Little
  Annie. TOM THUMB (1999, 3 minutes, DVD) A trailer for a film that
  doesn't exist, shot on digital video in Copenhagen, Denmark. I OF K9
  (2000, 3 minutes, DVD) A segment from the Ocularis End of Year Kiss
  Factory Event movie, starring Will Keenan, and Daryl & Scott Free. Total
  running time: ca. 105 minutes.

New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
5:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ZVENIGORA
  by Alexandr Dovzhenko No English intertitles (English synopsis
  available), 1928, 96 minutes, 35mm Dovzhenko's second film, attacked by
  Soviet critics for being so beautifully rendered as to actually lessen
  its political impact, remains today a "cinematic poem" as the director
  named it. Dovzhenko wrote: "I did not so much make the picture as sing
  it out like a songbird." Episodic, folkloric, and allegorical, it is a
  mythic search for hidden treasure by two brothers.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ARSENAL
  by Alexandr Dovzhenko No English intertitles (English synopsis
  available), 1928-29, 87 minutes, 35mm One of Dovzhenko's few completely
  independent films, from script to screen. ARSENAL is a civil war epic
  envisioned in unusual, painterly images: a fallen soldier – drunk on the
  enemy's laughing gas – his frozen body still baring its teeth long after
  the battle and his life are over.

7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: EARTH
  by Alexandr Dovzhenko No English intertitles (English synopsis
  available), 1929-30, 82 minutes, 35mm A poetic expression of love for
  both nature and Ukrainian culture by the man who was alternatively
  branded a deserter by Ukrainians and a Ukrainian nationalist by Russian
  Soviets. Dovzhenko champions the progression of life, class struggle,
  and new attitudes for a town changed by a tractor and a fallen hero.
