9/24 Boston, Massachusetts: ArtsEmerson http://ArtsEmerson.org 8:15pm, 559 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02111 RADICAL LIGHT: STORIES UNTOLD Film Curator Kathy Geritz in person. The satiric, sensual, and striking stories in this program represent some of the ways in which the tale can commingle with the telling to produce oddly original offspring. Featuring films by George Kuchar, James Broughton, Curt McDowell and Anne McGuire. Radical Light: Alternative Film and Video in the San Francisco Bay Area was curated by Kathy Geritz and Steve Seid (Pacific Film Archive) and Steve Anker (California Institute of the Arts). The tour is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Andy Warhol and the William H. Donner Foundations. 9/24 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 3:45 pm, 32 2nd Ave. ESSENTIAL CINEMA: OCTOBER by Sergei Eisenstein With Russian intertitles (English synopsis available), 1928, 143 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent (OKTYABR) Eisenstein celebrates the baroque in OCTOBER, as opposed to the Greek classicism of POTEMKIN, disappointing contemporary audience expectations. "Intellectual cinema" starts here. 9/24 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue THE HOLY BUNCH 6:00 PM THE HOLY BUNCH / THE BASIS OF MAKE-UP I by Heinz Emigholz Share + Twitter Facebook URL Film Notes THE HOLY BUNCH / DER ZYNISCHE KÖRPER 1986-90, 89 minutes, 35mm. In reaction to the death of a friend, a group of artists begin to explore their collective past by perusing his notebooks and their own artistic creations. Complexly structured to shift between the past and present, scenes from life and scenes from a novel, THE HOLY BUNCH simultaneously constructs and deconstructs the role of art in the group's lives and its relationship to human spirit. & THE BASIS OF MAKE-UP I (1974-83, 20 minutes, 35mm, silent) The films in the BASIS OF MAKE-UP series constitute a compendium of Emigholz's drawings and writings. "[These films] are the center about which my feature films revolve. I imagine them as an intermezzo between the long films, the database as an interlude. The paradoxical nature of film is taken to an extreme: giving something that is taken away immediately." H.E. Total running time: ca. 115 minutes. 9/24 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue RICHARD KERN PROGRAM 1 See notes for Sept. 23, 7 pm. 9/24 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:45 pm, 32 2nd Avenue BASIS OF MAKE-UP THE BASIS OF MAKE-UP II (1995-2000, 48 minutes, 35mm) THE BASIS OF MAKE-UP III (1996-2004, 26 minutes, 35mm) MISCELLANEA I (1988-2001, 20 minutes, 35mm) "MISCELLANEA is the name I gave to films that have forced themselves upon me wanting to be made during the course of my work on other films without a commission or funding debates. They are studies on 35mm film and HDV. The films are vessels for collections of film shots, footnotes, remarks, and references, to be regarded as vanguard and memory." H.E. Total running time: ca. 100 minutes. 9/24 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 9:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue RICHARD KERN PROGRAM 2 See notes for Sept. 23, 9 pm. 9/24 Paris, France: Centre Georges Pompidou http://www.cjcinema.org/pages/hors_les_murs.php?id_news=149 5:00pm, Cinéma 2 LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - LE CORPS-MATIERE (1) LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - LE CORPS-MATIERE Séance présentée par Sarah Darmon La figure humaine tisse des liens avec la matière argentique pour se confondre avec elle et disparaître dans des variations lumineuses. - "Outlaw" de Ann Steuernagel - "Empreinte" de Xavier Baert - "Pulsions" de Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof - "Ai (Love)" de Takahiko Iimura - "Allegoria" de Stéphane Marti - "Ink" de Sarah Darmon - "Petit Enfer" de Raphaël Sevet - "Element" de Amy Greenfield - "Rencontre avec Franck" de Isabelle Blanche - "Visages perdus" de Alain Mazars - "Rose" de Robert Todd - "J." de Alexandre Larose et Solomon Nagler - "Film (Knout)" de Deco Dawson - "En-corps" de Colas Ricard - "Hymen" de Carole Arcega http://www.cjcinema.org/pages/hors_les_murs.php?id_news=149 9/24 Paris, France: Centre Georges Pompidou 8:00pm, Cinéma 2 LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - LA FUITE EPERDUE LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - LA FUITE EPERDUE DES PHOTOGRAMMES Séance présentée par Pip Chodorov (sous réserve) Ces huit films questionnent notre rapport à l'illusion d'optique.

ALSO a whole bouquet of other (mostly new) animation, including Jeremy Rourke in person, singing and playing guitar to his own shorts! PLUS Martha Colburn's Anti-Fracking; Kelly Sears' Cover Me, Alpha; Jim Trainor's The Bats; and Janie Geiser's Lost Motion.

We are delighted to host, for the first time in Los Angeles, the videos of Dani Leventhal, including two world premieres, Shayne's Rectangle and Tin Pressed! Whether peering into the folds of an elderly woman's neck, surveying sidewalk vendors in Budapest or the grooves of a chain-lock fence in upstate New York, or investigating the matted feathers and fur of the many animals Leventhal examines and sometimes dissects, her camera is inquisitive and ever-present, a companion as much as a tool in the artist's unyielding search for signs of life. Curated by Genevieve Yue.

With it, he developed and perfected his theories of "mise-en-cadre," using the montage of characters in the foreground and background to conjure meanings, and "overtonal montage," bringing silent film to its zenith. 9/25 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 5:15 pm, 32 2nd Ave. HEINZ EMIGHOLZ PROGRAM TWO PROJECTS BY FREDERICK KIESLER / ZWEI PROJEKTE VON FRIEDRICH KIESLER (2006-09, 16 minutes, video) Explores two projects by Austrian artist and visionary Frederick Kiesler (18901965): the model for ENDLESS HOUSE (1959), which is currently exhibited at the Kiesler Foundation in Vienna; and THE SHRINE OF THE BOOK, designed and built by Frederick Kiesler and Armand Bartos in Jerusalem (1959-65).

As an independent work, it emerged from the material for 57 short films that Emigholz produced for the traveling exhibition (of the same name) conceived in Graz. Unlike the exhibition, which grouped the architecture thematically, this new film assembles the project into a social reality in which modern buildings were constructed for all areas of life. 9/25 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 pm, 32 2nd Ave. BEATRICE GIBSON PROGRAM SEPTEMBER: BEATRICE GIBSON Filmmaker in person! Beatrice Gibson is a moving-image artist whose work skillfully employs strategies usually encountered in the world of avant-garde music. Her deep fascination with graphic notation, open scores, and other strategies of post-war composition is employed to fascinating effect in these two exciting and innovative works. A NECESSARY MUSIC, winner of the Tiger Award for best short at the Rotterdam Film Festival in 2009, features the distinctive voice of composer Robert Ashley, while THE FUTURE'S GETTING OLD LIKE THE REST OF US includes an appearance by noted pianist John Tilbury, among other actors known to British TV viewers. Gibson's carefully chosen imagery and emphasis on spoken language have made her one of the most distinctive filmmakers on the festival circuit today. A NECESSARY MUSIC 2008, 28 minutes, HD Video. Music composed by Alex Waterman; narration by Robert Ashley. A NECESSARY MUSIC is a science fiction film about modernist social housing. Treating the medium of film as both a musical proposition and a proposal for collective production, A NECESSARY MUSIC employs the residents of New York's Roosevelt Island as its authors and actors, gathering together texts written by them and using them to construct a script for the film. Casting seventeen residents to enact these lines accompanied by a fictional narration taken from Adolfo Bioy Casares's 1941 science fiction novel THE INVENTION OF MOREL, the film deploys fiction as a tool to frame and activate its site. THE FUTURE'S GETTING OLD LIKE THE REST OF US 2010, 48 minutes, 16mm-to-HD Video. A 16mm film conceived in the format of a TV Play and set in an older people's care home. Part documentary, part fiction, the script for the film was a collaboration with writer and critic George Clark and was constructed from verbatim transcripts of a discussion group held over a period of five months with the residents of four of Camden's Care Homes. Taking B.S. Johnson's 1971 experimental novel HOUSE MOTHER NORMAL as its formal departure point and employing the structural logic of a score, the script is edited into a vertical structure, in which 8 voices or 8 monologues occur simultaneously. Total running time: ca. 80 minutes. 9/25 Paris, France: Centre Georges Pompidou http://www.cjcinema.org/pages/hors_les_murs.php?id_news=151 2:00pm, Cinéma 2 LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - DEPAYSEMENTS (1) LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - DEPAYSEMENTS Séance présentée par Louis Dupont Du voyage fantastique à la promenade solitaire, l'entrelacement de corps et de voix à des décors ou des espaces participe souvent du paysage intérieur, d'un état d'âme. - "L'eau, l'air et les songes" de Cécile Ravel - "Sea travels" de Anita Thacher - "Memosium" de Louis Dupont - "Where did Maria go?" de Viviane Vagh - "Wolkengestalt" de Silvia Maglioni et Graeme Thomson - "Terrae" de Othello Vilgard - "Sleepers" de Stuart Pound - "Kokoro is for heart" de Philip Hoffman - "Mai" de Orlan Roy - "Dimanche" de Rodolphe Olcèse - "premier lieu : Venerque" de Damien Marguet http://www.cjcinema.org/pages/hors_les_murs.php?id_news=151 9/25 Paris, France: Centre Georges Pompidou http://www.cjcinema.org/pages/hors_les_murs.php?id_news=152 5:00pm, Cinéma 2 LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - RITUELS (1) LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - RITUELS Séance présentée par Marie Sochor et Damien Marguet Du geste quotidien à la cérémonie singulière, ces films questionnent la représentation féminine à travers le prisme de l'étrangeté. - "La femme rouge vomit ses mots" de Marie Sochor - "Sonja" de Maplo - "The Shape of the Gaze" de Maïa Cybelle Carpenter - "Autoportrait en 3'23" de Cécilia Rodriguez - "La Princesse est indisposée, elle ne reçoit personne" de Gabrielle Reiner - "Pandrogeny Manifesto" de Dionysos Andronis - "Boucle noire" de Denis Guéguin - "Appolénus" de Baptiste Lamy - "Rosée Nocturne" de Jean-Paul Noguès - "Day's night" de Catherine Corringer http://www.cjcinema.org/pages/hors_les_murs.php?id_news=152 9/25 Paris, France: Centre Georges Pompidou http://www.cjcinema.org/pages/hors_les_murs.php?id_news=153 8:00pm, Cinéma 2 LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - POINTS DE VUE POLYPHONIQUES (1) LE CJC DE 1971 à 2011 : 40 ANS DE COLLECTIF ! - POINTS DE VUE POLYPHONIQUES Séance présentée par Laurence Rebouillon et Bernard Cerf Comment élaborer un travail sonore quand, par exemple, certaines pellicules comme la Super 8 sont muettes ou quand le travail en laboratoire artisanal ou le montage numérique supplante la prise de vue et induit une animation au rythme particulier ? Ces contraintes ou ces désirs incitent certains cinéastes à déjouer l'attente d'une narration linéaire classique pour proposer une expérience asynchrone entre image et son et créer ainsi des films qui échappent à toute perception dogmatique et univoque du monde qui nous entoure. - "Vestibule" de Ken Kobland - "My Room le Grand Canal" de Anne-Sophie Brabant et Pierre Gerbaux - "Pur fantôme" de Sébastien Durand - "Avril 99" de Bernard Cerf - "Le Sourire d'Alice" de Laurence Rebouillon http://www.cjcinema.org/pages/hors_les_murs.php?id_news=153 Enter your event announcements by going to the Flicker Weekly Listing Form at http://www.hi-beam.net/cgi-bin/thisweek.pl The weekly listing is also available online at Flicker: http://www.hi-beam.net
