Made entirely of cut-up studio productions, Hollywood Burn is an epic manifesto against the corporate control of cultural history brought to us by Soda_Jerk! PLUS! short films by local culture jammers Adam Bruneau, Anna Spence and Bland Hack (Jamie Hawkins-Gaar and Julian Modugno). $6. All proceeds go to the Plaza Theatre Foundation. 2/26 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 4:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue MINUS ZERO by Michael Oblowitz 1979, 50 minutes, 16mm With Rosemary Hochschild, Ron Vawter, Will Patton, and Eric Mitchell. A psycho noir shot in high-contrast black-and-white where stalkers, terrorists and government agents collide. "It promised pleasure and delivered death nothing ever happened to her class there was no reason to feel nervous even in the heart of New York you push the fourth button and arrive at the fourth floor she was one more person in personville was one more person too many " 2/26 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue KING BLANK by Michael Oblowitz 1983, 71 minutes, 16mm-to-video This screening is part of: THE WOOSTER GROUP AT LARGE With Ron Vawter, Rosemary Hochschild, Will Patton, and Gary Indiana. A sour-spirited foul-mouthed epic of ennui, BLANK is a prescient classic by No-Wave filmmaker Oblowitz. Set in a motel room at NYC's Kennedy Airport, the film treats two days in the life of a deadbeat couple, an obsessive husband lost in a web of psychotic delusion and his immigrant wife. Great character bits include Ron Vawter forcing Gary Indiana to give him a blowjob in the bathroom. "A cinephiliac achievement in which the pathology of male sexuality insists to the point of nausea." Claire Johnston 2/26 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue KEN KOBLAND PROGRAM 3 PROGRAM 3: FOTO-ROMAN (1992, 26 minutes, video) The text is composed of excerpts of a novel, QUEER AND ALONE, by Jim Strahs (who also plays the John Doe here.) The voice-over is by Vito Acconci. It's a travelogue of sorts or a daydream, by a very odd, somewhat unreliable narrator. LANDSCAPE AND DESIRE (1980, 40 minutes, 16mm) A (mostly) bus 'tour' of the American landscape. But this is the old un-franchised one. Small-town hotels, bus depot waiting rooms, and the endless plains and sky. A scrapbook of the banal and un-dramatic. Now it feels like a souvenir from a more modest world. Photographed in Super-8 and re-printed onto 16mm. END CREDITS (1994, 7 minutes, video) Made as the end-credit sequence for a film of Ron Vawter's performance piece, ROY COHN/JACK SMITH, directed by Jill Godmilow. Ron was an extraordinary performer and actor. The two men he portrays were gay men, at infinitely opposite ends of the spectrum, social, artistic, and human. PIECE FOR SPALD (2004, 7 minutes, video) An audio-mix, no image scraps of Spalding Gray's comments, from here and there Assembled as part of a memorial for the storyteller and old friend, who lost himself in New York harbor in January of 2004. Total running time: ca. 85 minutes. 2/26 Washington, DC: National Gallery of Art http://www.nga.gov 4:30, East Building Concourse, Auditorium RECALL AND MEMORY Gusztáv Hámos, Katja Pratschke, Thomas Tode in person. "That-has-been," wrote Roland Barthes; photography stands for something that has happened. Film, in contrast, always unfolds in the here and now and can be seen as a container for memory. Featuring films by Thierry Knauff (Le Sphinx, 1985), Agnès Varda (Ulysse, 1982), Jerzy Ziarnik (Gestapoman Schmidt, 1964), Franz Winzentsen (The Fitting 1938, 1985), Helke Misselwitz (Pictures from a Family Album, 1985), and Janet Riedel, Katja Pratschke, and Gusztáv Hámos (Fiasko, 2010), this program investigates these functions in the context of personal and historical memory. (93 minutes) -------------------------- TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2012 -------------------------- 2/28 Reading, Pennsylvania: Berks Filmmakers, Inc http://berksfilmmakers.org 7:30 p.m., Albright College Center for the Arts BLACK MARIA FILM & VIDEO FESTIVAL JOHN COLUMBUS IN PERSON Our show will be a selection of prize-winning shorts (mostly experimental) from this year's festival presented by John Columbus, the festival founder and director. "Over the last [31] years John Columbus has overseen this alternative festival, which embraces the diversity and passion of the cinematic short form. It provides many directors with their earliest exhibition opportunities and discovers avant-garde and idiosyncratic talents. The festival also provides an important, one-of-a-kind distribution outlet for short films, traveling each year to over seventy sites and reaching audiences in the farthest corners of the USA and Europe. Through the years the festival has championed cinema that resides on the margins of popular culture and in the center of artists' imaginations." Museum of Modern Art program notes. ---------------------------- WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2012 ---------------------------- 2/29 Austin,Texas: Experimental Response Cinema http://www.hi-beam.net/erc 6:30, Visual Arts Center, Room 1.102, San Jacinto & 23rd Streets 16MM: FILMS IN RESPONSE TO DUBFORMS Experimental Response Cinema and the UT-Austin Visual Arts Center (VAC) co-present an evening of 16mm experimental films, in conjunction with the VAC's current exhibition "Dubforms" by artist Justin Boyd.

ERC's Scott Stark will introduce the program. 2/29 Chicago, Illinois: Museum of Contemporary Photography http://www.mocp.org/events/2012/02/ 6:00, 600 S. MICHIGAN AVE : CHICAGO, IL 60605 SPEECHLESS With an increasing abundance of technology at our collective fingertips, the potential for creating and disseminating moving images seems almost endless. Curated by Eric Fleischauer, Speechless is a one-night public screening of video work examining the role of technology in shaping visual culture. ///// Screened in conjunction with the MoCP's current exhibition, Limits of Photography, the artists featured in this screening locate the various immaterial and structural qualities present within the medium of video, subverting and usurping these qualities to tap a unique creative potential. ///// Featuring work from: Agnes Bolt, Phil Morton, Takeshi Murata, Monica Panzarino, Jennifer Proctor, Jon Satrom, John Smith, Scott Stark, and Andrew Norman Wilson. Admission is free and open to the public. 2/29 New York, NY: Dirty Looks NYC 8:30, Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square South DIRTY LOOKS: KENNETH ANGER / MICHELLE HANDELMAN PROGRAM, Kenneth Anger, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, 16mm, 1954/66, Michelle Handelman, Dorian, a cinematic perfume, Video, 2012 - http://dirtylooksnyc.org - Dirty Looks pairs a US video premiere by multimedia artist, Michelle Handelman with an occult masterwork from the magus of the American avant-garde - Kenneth Anger. With an emphasis on costume and color, these works respond to historical models of decadence and deviance to evoke hallucinatory scenes of voluptuous pleasure. - Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome took its initial inspiration from the fabled "Come As Your Madness" party, featuring such luminaries as Anaïs Nin, artist and occultist Marjorie Cameron, and queer experimental and filmmaker Curtis Harrington. Anger invited these guests, in their party attire, to the home of famed Hollywood recluse Samson de Brier, who also features in Inauguration. Anger's hedonistic and hallucinatory film, which draws on the work of notorious occultist Aleister Crowley for its atmosphere of neo-pagan decadence is a "lavishly costumed magic masquerade party," in the words of Alice Hutchison. Inauguration builds to a delirious crescendo of editing and superimposition with an increasingly lurid color palette, as its revelers become high on a hallucinogenic brew and the celebration becomes more orgiastic. - In Dorian, a cinematic perfume, Michelle Handelman reinterprets The Picture of Dorian Gray, emphasizing the queer undertones and hedonism of the Wilde novel. Dorian features well-known personalities from the New York drag and burlesque scene, playing versions of themselves, blurring the line between performance and reality. Sequinette, a young gender-bending drag queen plays Dorian Gray. Dorian also features renowned drag performer and theremin player Armen Ra, media artist Quin Charity, video and performance artist K8 Hardy, and drag legend Flawless Sabrina. Dorian, with its excessive costumes, glitter, and color, both glamorizes and interrogates societal notions of narcissism, youth, beauty, and the cult of celebrity. - The event will also feature a complimentary publication featuring writings and original artwork. 2/29 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue MINUS ZERO See notes for Feb. 26, 4:30 pm. 2/29 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 9:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue KING BLANK See notes for Feb. 26, 6 pm. 2/29 Providence, RI: Magic Lantern http://magiclanterncinema.com/ 9:00 PM, Cable Car Cinema & Cafe, 204 S. Main St. LE SPECTACLE DES ÉLéMENTS / THE ELEMENTAL SHOW Drawn entirely from the impressive collection of Light Cone in Paris, this program features a set of visually entrancing shorts by members of France's vibrant experimental film culture exploring cinema's relationship to the elements. Though created by independent artists with distinct orientations, all of these works emerge from a cinematic encounter with the substances once held to comprise the fundamental components of the natural world: earth, water, air, & fire. What happens when this classical subject is engaged through a distinctly modern medium like cinema? While certain of these artists utilize film to rediscover, harness, or communicate the import attributed to the elements by ancient thought, others offer more timely variations on this theme, refracting it through the lens of contemporary aesthetic developments, modern philosophy, or current cultural and political realities. From either direction, the films collected in this program provide new ways of conceiving cinema's relationship to the surrounding world, while also demonstrating that the lure of the elements has not dissipated with the rise of the modern era. /// FEATURING: Olivier Fouchard, "Le Granier (Paysages, Etude No. 1)" (2007); Emmanuel Lefrant, "Parties Visible et Invisible d'un Ensemble Sous Tension" (2009); Frédérique Devaux, "K (Berbères)" (2007); Martine Rousset, "Mer" (2003); Rose Lowder, "Jardin du Sel" (2011); Pascal Auger, "Juste Avant Midi" (1986); Yann Beauvais, "D'un Couvre-feu" (2006); Patrick Bokanowski, "Battements Solaires" (2008) /// TRT: 99 min. /// More info at: www.facebook.com/events/150018038452027/ ----------------------- THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2012 ----------------------- 3/1 Chicago, Illinois: Conversations at the Edge http://www.saic.edu/cateblog 6p, 164 N. State LAURE PROUVOST: DONT LOOK UP The brilliantly anarchic videos of Laure Prouvost run wild with the rules of narrative and language. Prouvost's fast-paced works often feature surreal tales jarringly interrupted by self-conscious text, unsettling imagery, or the artist herself undermining and adding new meaning to the original story. This evening Prouvost, who is also the founder and former director of Tank.tv, will present her videos alongside a selection of contemporary and historical moving image works by other artists, including John Latham and Owen Land. 19682012, multiple directors, France/Italy/UK/USA, various formats, ca. 90 minutes + discussion 3/1 Kansas City, KS: FOKL Center 7:00, FOKL BLACK THORNS IN THE BLACK BOX @ FOKL (KANSAS CITY, KS) Black Thorns in the Black Box is a touring screening of experimental film and video by eleven contemporary artists whose work resonates with the heavy, dark, and mystic obscurity of Black Metal music.

Part Bronx reminiscence, part landscape fantasy; part morality play, part melodrama. A film in many parts with monologue segments written by James Strahs for Willem Dafoe, Spalding Gray, Ron Vawter, Peyton Smith, and Luche Sacker. "Filmed and acted with insinuating skill, it invites analysis but operates most powerfully on a visionary level, transforming ideas and emotions into a haunting reverie on childhood and its reverberating memories." David Sterritt & Burt Barr and James Benning O PANAMA (1985, 27.5 minutes, video) This collaboration between video artist Burt Barr and filmmaker James Benning features Willem Dafoe as a man confined to his apartment on a winter day as he suffers through an illness. Built on the polarity between hot and cold, the tedious reality of the man's sickness and the vivid hallucinatory visions of his delirium, O PANAMA conveys the workings of the subconscious. The contrast between the bleak urban winterscape and the vibrancy of Dafoe's imagination fuels the dramatic progression. --------------------- FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 2012 --------------------- 3/2 Seattle, Washington: Northwest Film Forum http://www.nwfilmforum.org 8pm, 1515 12th ave A LANDSCAPE OF MEMORIES: THE FILMS OF LEE ANNE SCHMITT Lee Anne Schmitt's filmmaking falls into two categories, film essay and landscape cinema. Her work has been compared to that of James Benning and Thom Andersen (both of whose work has also screened at Northwest Film Forum). Schmitt's cinema is at once lyrical, historical and personal. Her features focus on the inevitable trace of man's history on a landscape, dissecting the strains created by the many inequities found within America's political and economic systems. Her shorts offer a more personal exploration of how landscape interacts with personal memory. Heralded across the globe, Schmitt's film and video work has screened at venues that include the Museum of Modern Art in New York, SF MOMA, The Cinema du Reel at the George Pompidou Center in Paris, Anthology Film Archives in New York and the Pacific Film Archives in San Francisco. We welcome her to Seattle to present this complete retrospective.

Alvarado St (at Sunset) DEAR DIARY Students from EPFC's 2012 winter youth intensive course Dear Diary will present and discuss projects created on standard 8mm film during the month of February. This advanced, four-week intensive class immersed students in the history and practice of personal and diary filmmaking. Through screenings and discussions students explored diverse forms that personal filmmaking has taken, from amateur home movies to the avant-garde. The students were encouraged to incorporate the cameras into a daily filming practice, drawing on their everyday lives. Filmmakers include Richard Bar, Andrew Becerra, Danielle Dickerson, Marilyn Hernandez, Chloé Macary-Carney, James Noel, Chloe Reyes, and Penelope Uribe-Abee. FREE! 3/3 San Francisco, California: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ 8:30pm, 992 Valencia Street SOFTSERVE + GOLDWAVE + SODA_JERK + ASCHER + OC takes the offensive, opening its Spring season with a session devoted to the Right to Remix! We're proud to premiere what could very well be the anthem of the anti-SOPA subculture, Soda_Jerk's Hollywood Burn, a 45-min. battle-cry that has cult classic written all over it. Elvis the Rebel takes on Moses the Lawmaker and a horde of other pop-cult antagonists in a righteously hilarious collage-narrative argument against copyright. ALSO, initiating our 4-show OptrOnica thread, Erik Wilsonaka Softserveevokes a sonic space wherein live samples rhyme with energized audio gestures, in sync with Goldwave's visual abstractions. PLUS Rodney Ascher's The S from Hell, Everything Is a Remix, Hitler Reacts to SOPA, and an Animal Charm party platter!

In experimental film, focusing on the materials and procures of film-making has come to be known as structuralist film-making, with a hey-day from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s, but continuing in much work today. These are several classic examples made in Los Angeles, with precise control over the instruments of filmmaking, the depth of good art, and (more often than not) a fair dose of wit. Tickets: $10 general, $6 students/seniors, free for Filmforum members Tickets available at Brown Paper Tickets 3/4 Washington, DC: National Gallery of Art http://www.nga.gov 4:30, East Building Concourse, Auditorium THE FILMIC PHOTOGRAPH This program focuses on the image, the process of finding and conceiving it, the act of shooting, and then describing it. Film requires the linear sequencing of photographs, which these filmmakers use to develop an analytical discourse. Including films by Hollis Frampton ([nostalgia], 1971), Silke Grossmann (The Feelings of the Eyes, 1987), Shelly Silver (What I'm Looking For, 2004), Esaias Baitel (The Zone, 2003) and Sean Snyder (Casio, Seiko . . . , 2005).
