Since the 1970s, Jonas has worked between various mediums, freely incorporating video, movement, music, sculpture, and the spoken word into open-end narratives. Featuring music by Jason Moran, this collaborative work evokes the American Southwest through an artistic consideration of the Hopi snake dance, a ritual that affected Jonas during visits to Arizona in the 1960s. A featured performance of the 2012 Fusebox Festival "For The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things, I went to Arizona and I was thinking about memories of the American landscape, by which I mean memories from before the Europeans came here. The Southwest is a perfect example of different cultures layered on top of each other, and next to each other. I'm very interested in how stories are retold, of course. That's what we dowe retell stories." JOAN JONAS 5/5 San Francisco, California: Oddball Films http://www.oddballfilm.com 8PM, 275 Capp Street 3rd Floor TREASURES FROM TV LAND Oddball Films presents Treasures From TV Land. Whether it was a commercial or a sitcom, commercials or a variety show, most television production prior to the late 1970s was made on 16mm. This program features rare, weird and wonderful vintage TV screened from 16mm film prints. Highlights include excerpts from The Debbie Reynolds Show featuring the multi-talented leading lady in the skit A Date With Debbie (1960); Season 3 episode 31 of My Favorite Martian titled My Nut Cup Runneth Over (1966) about a squirrel accidentally transformed into a human; Some Like It Hot (1961), the un-aired, lost TV pilot for a series based on the classic Billy Wilder film; and clips from the queen of TV comedy Lucille Ball's shows I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show. Plus! Television Land (1971) brilliantly edited visual history of the great communicator, and loads of kooky vintage TV commercials. 5/5 San Francisco, California: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ 8:30pm, 992 Valencia Street SOE + LORD + SHERMAN + DANIEL + ALFVEGREN + Valerie Soe world-premieres her Chinese Gardens, a personal exploration of Port Townsend's hidden history. Dan Boord/Luis Valdovino's Chinese Ghost Story undertakes a similar excavation of the unknown Asian laborers who built the Western railroads. The debut of David Sherman's Assassination in Dreamland correlates the McKinley assassination with the early history of cinema, while Kennedy/Rosentrater's Dick-George picks up on the Presidential tip with a '71 Nixon/Wallace photo-op. Chip Lord's Une Ville de L'Avenir posits a future urbanism by hybridizing Alphaville with his own verité. In person, Bill Daniel's Mission Bay at Night surveys that haunted SF shoreline. Head of the Cali. Fortean Society, Skylaire Alfvegren rounds it out with her 45-min. The Secret Life of Southern California. Come early to meet the makers, to witness Ben Wood's 3-D Philippines Projection proposal, and drink in Frank Stauffacher's 16mm Notes on the Port of St. Francis. $6. ------------------- SUNDAY, MAY 6, 2012 ------------------- 5/6 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue DANNY LYON PROGRAM SHADOWMAN 2011, 22 minutes, video. Lyon's existential look at himself, filmmaking, the irony of digital, the death of film, and his musings on the meaning of his lifetime of work. Shot in the Bernalillo, New Mexico graveyard (Lyon's fifth major scene shot in this spot), the Acoma reservation's desert, the streets and garages of Manhattan, and the Maine woods and skies. DEAR MARK 1981, 15 minutes, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Special thanks to George Eastman House for providing original production elements. A portrait of artist Mark di Suvero made from footage shot over the course of a decade by his friend Lyon. We watch the sculptor at work and at play in the woods of New York State, and in exile in France during his protest against the war in Vietnam. Against the background of Medieval Armor at the Met, Lyon has replaced di Suvero's voice with that of the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. Wonderfully quirky and playful, DEAR MARK is an inspired homage to di Suvero couched in the form of "Dadaistic comedy", as the late critic Thomas Albright put it. LOS NIÑOS ABANDONADOS 1975, 63 minutes, 16mm-to-video. Restoration produced with the support of the Menil Archives, The Menil Collection, Houston, with a Gift from Joan Hohlt and J. Roger Wich Foundation. Restoration produced by Mark Rance, Watchmaker Films. Assistant color correction by Tara Reinecke Walch; technical support by Brooks Walch. Focuses on the lives of abandoned children who scavenge in the streets of Santa Marta, a small town in Colombia. A staggering work of vérité that in its imagery and emotion feels like an extension of neo-realist cinema, it finds Lyon's ever-present camera capturing moments of reality as stark as they are poetic. The filmmakers' original vision had been to reach a mass audience of Americans by having the film shown on national television, but in 1975 public television rejected the film because it lacked narration. Modern writing about this film does not focus on the poverty of the children but rather Lyon's statement of the existential freedom of his characters. We will be screening a brand new digital restoration of LOS NIÑOS ABANDONADOS diligently produced by Mark Rance from the original production elements. This film, a highlight of Lyon's filmmaking and a landmark work of 1970s cinema, has never looked better or felt more gripping. Total running time: ca. 105 minutes. ------------------- MONDAY, MAY 7, 2012 ------------------- 5/7 Brooklyn, New York: Pentacle's Movement Media http://pentacle.org/movement_media_screenings.php 7:30pm, Uniondocs, 322 Union Avenue KINETIC CINEMA: ELECTRIC SALOMES AND THE TECHNOLOGY OF FEMALE SPECTACLE Filmmaker Amy Ruhl curates a provocative program of Kinetic Cinema that examines how the female body, under the unique technology of cinema, has been the primary source of spectacle since the beginnings of film. The program will include Ruhl's recent short film, "How Mata Hari Lost Her Head and Found Her Body" as well as shorts by contemporary experimental filmmakers, Kerrie Welsh and Amy Greenfield. 5/7 Brooklyn, New York: Pentacle's Movement Media http://pentacle.org/movement_media_screenings.php 7:30pm, Uniondocs, 322 Union Avenue KINETIC CINEMA: ELECTRIC SALOMES AND THE TECHNOLOGY OF FEMALE SPECTACLE Filmmaker Amy Ruhl curates a provocative program of Kinetic Cinema that examines how the female body, under the unique technology of cinema, has been the primary source of spectacle since the beginnings of film. The program will include Ruhl's recent short film, "How Mata Hari Lost Her Head and Found Her Body" as well as shorts by contemporary experimental filmmakers, Kerrie Welsh and Amy Greenfield. 5/7 Brooklyn, New York: Microscope Gallery http://www.microscopegallery.com 7PM, 4 Charles Place (at Myrtle btwn Bushwick & Evergreen Aves) MIGRATING FORMS, FEATURE BY JAMES FOTOPOULOS preceded by the 6-min short "Growth". Admission $6. Ahead of the Migrating Forms film festival, which opens May 11 at Anthology Film Archives, James Fotopoulos joins us to present his 16mm break-through film from which the event derived its name. Fotopoulos' second feature made when he was just 23 years old presents a bleak view of the infectious nature of sexual relationships. The work won "Best Feature" at the New York Underground Film Festival where it premiered in 2000. It was also among Amy Taubin' top 20 films of the year at the Village Voice, and prompted film critic Ed Halter to declare Fotopoulos "the most important new director I have seen in many years ". The film will be preceded by the related 6-minute short Growth. PROGRAM: "Growth", 16mm, color & b/w, 6 min, 1999. "Growth" is made with footage from a scene originally intended to be included in the feature Migrating Forms. Fotopoulos instead chose to make it a stand-alone short film. "Migrating Forms", 16mm, b/w, 80 min, sound mono, 1999 (filmed 1997). "Migrating Forms" is a masterful, minimalist exploration of empty sexuality and its psychic and physical consequences. In a stark, nearly empty room, a man and a woman meet for passionless sex. A growth on the woman's back infects the man, but the implications of the infection, like the characters themselves, remain elusive. BIO: James Fotopoulos was born in Chicago and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. His films and videos have been screened internationally including the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the New York Underground Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, the Walker Art Center and the Andy Warhol Museum, among others. His works have also been featured in a retrospective at Anthology Film Archives, 2004 Whitney Biennial, and at Museum of Modern Art (NY). Fotopoulos has collaborated with Raymond Pettibon, Barney Rosset, Cory Arcangel, Torsten Zenas Burns, Ben Coonley, and many others. more info: www.microscopegallery.com; tel: 347.925.1433, Nearest Subway: J/M/Z - Myrtle/Broadway.

The program will include Ruhl's recent short film, How Mata Hari Lost Her Head and Found Her Body as well as shorts by contemporary experimental filmmakers, Kerrie Welsh and Amy Greenfield. About the film: How Mata Hari Lost Her Head and Found Her Body is an imaginary biography of a real historical figure: the erotic dancer and courtesan executed by firing squad for double espionage in World War I. Reinventing the archetypal femme fatale according to her corporeal afterlife- Hari was decapitated after her execution, her body donated to anatomical study and her head displayed at the Musee d'Anatomie- Ruhl imagines her as a striptease artist whose ability to remove her head takes Belle Époque Paris by storm. Using Oscar Wilde's Salome as a site for narrative and historical interaction, the film draws upon the cultural phenomenon of "Salomania" among largely lesbian and bisexual female performers in order to engage with an era when Orientalism sold, scandal became success, and deviant desires equalled a crime punishable by death. Also Showing: Peter, Peter by Kerrie Welsh, 16mm color sync sound. 7 minutes, 2002 A dark retelling of the children's rhyme "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater," illustrates the disparity between the narratives we construct and the realities they represent. Wildfire by Amy Greenfield, 12 minutes, 2003, digital projection The final film in Greenfield's acclaimed Club Midnight film cycle depicts women "clothed" in electronically generated flaming colors, reincarnating Thomas Edison's 1894 hand-tinted film, Annabelle Dances. 5/7 Los Angeles, California: Redcat http://www.redcat.org/ 8:30pm, 631 West 2nd St., Los Angeles, CA 90012 CINE POVERA- MEXICAN EXPERIMENTS IN 16MM As an echo to the Arte Povera movement, Cine Povera showcases work from Mexico by filmmakers who persist in working in 16mm with the most modest resources. Using antiquated techniques to produce emphatically anti-corporate and insistently artisanal cinema, the artists address social and political concernsfrom the recent upheavals in Oaxaca to the gentrification of urban neighborhoods. Not consumed with the medium's illusions, this eclectic selection of handcrafted shorts reveals the passion, craft and ingenuity of artists who adhere to the ethos of honest effort. The screening features young Mexican filmmakers Uriel Lopez España, Txema Novelo, Hanne Jimenez, Rosario Sotelo, Mayra Isabel Cespedes Vaca, Elena Pardo, Andres García Franco, Jorge Lorenzo Flores Garza and Bruno Varel, alongside artists who have made work in Mexico, including Naomi Uman, Robert Fenz, Rocio Aranda de la Figuera and Erika Loic. In person: Curator Jesse Lerner. Jack H. Skirball Screening Series / Tickets $10 [students $8, CalArts $5] 5/7 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue DANNY LYON PROGRAM See notes for May 6, 7:30 pm. 5/7 Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Early Monthly Segments http://earlymonthlysegments.org/ 8pm, Gladstone Hotel, Art Bar, 1214 Queen Street West EARLY MONTHLY SEGMENTS #39 = NICKY HAMLYN IN PERSON! We're pleased to host a screening of rare films by UK filmmaker Nicky Hamlyn. His work looks at the relationship between the camera and the elements being filmedobject, reflection, colour, light, shadowresulting in a rigorous reflection on the act of filming itself. The films have a hard-won beauty, but open themselves up to our appreciation through patient observation. This screening focuses on two of his sound filmsThat Has Been and Tobacco Shedplus the stunning White Light. "That Has Been is the last in a series of longer works made in the first half of the 1980s. The film was shot in two adjacent rooms. Outside views are seen in reflection via an aluminum photographic lamp, while some of the imagery is generated from photographs taken in the same spaces. The occasional voice over explores the relationship between places and dreams and that between memories and the physical events that can trigger them." (Hamlyn) White Light, made a few years after the short film Minutiae initiated a stylistic epiphany, also focuses on reflectionsthis time in the chrome-plated faucets of his studio sink. The faucets are shot frame-by-frame while the focus is racked back and forth, creating a shimmering rhythmic experience. The film's animated quality is further enhanced by rotoscoped sequences (photographic images traced by hand). These animations deepen the enquiry into the abstract and the photographic and into the way that illusions create visual forms. Tobacco Shed is shot at a tobacco-curing oven in northwest Umbria, Italy. It uses the serial nature of the building (a series of open bays) to construct the filmcircling the building and framing each doorway in a consistent manner. This simple set-up allows for the small differences (an open doorway, a car parked askew) and character of the buildingsoon to be transformed due to changing agricultural prioritiesto come through. Programme: That Has Been, 1984, 16mm, UK, 40 min. White Light, 1996, 16mm, UK, 22 min. silent Tobacco Shed, 2010, 16mm, UK, 11 min. -------------------- TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2012 -------------------- 5/8 Brooklyn, NY: Light Industry http://www.lightindustry.org/ 6:30, 155 Freeman Street SCOTT BARTLETT'S OFFON + KINJI FUKASAKU'S THE GREEN SLIME OffOn, Scott Bartlett, 16mm, 1967, 9 mins - The Green Slime, Kinji Fukasaku, 16mm, 1968, 90 mins - Genre-hopping auteur Kinji Fukasaku is best remembered for action pictures served up with cutting social critique, like his yakuza cycle Battles Without Honor and Humanity and his final film, the teen bloodbath Battle Royale. In the late 1960s, however, he directed The Green Slime, an ultra-groovy sci-fi monster movie about astronauts battling a polymorphous alien fungus that threatens Earth. Produced by MGM and shot at Toei Studios in Japan, the film was made in English with mostly American actors (including a cast of extras culled from local US military bases), but maintains a distinctly kaiju visual style, complete with candy-colored animated miniatures and freaky rubber-suited creatures. Italian bombshell Luciana Pallucci (previously a James Bond villainess in Thunderball) plays a cat-suited space-nurse who helps defend the starbase, and the whole affair kicks off with a blazing psych-rock theme song. - The Green Slime is paired with Scott Bartlett's OffOn, a lysergic journey into deepest inner space made in San Francisco during the height of the Aquarian Age. As Amos Vogel describes it: "One of the most important attempts so far to express the new sensibility directly and poetically, in a perfect, magical fusion of non-verbal communication and advanced technological filmmaking (video-manipulation, multiple exposures and printing, solarization and synthetic color). Indeterminacy, the union of opposites, the cosmic, the expansion of consciousness, the going beyond rationalism\; all these are intimated purely visually, almost subliminallyâ"to those willing to see." - Tickets - $7, available at door. - Please note: seating is limited. First-come, first-served. Box office opens at 7pm. - Print of The Green Slime courtesy of the Cosmic Hex Archive. ---------------------- THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2012 ---------------------- 5/10 Los Angeles, California: Echo Park Film Center http://www.echoparkfilmcenter.org/ 8 pm, 1200 N. Alvarado St (at Sunset) FILMS OF TOM CHOMONT A screening of recently preserved 16mm films by the late Tom Chomont. This rare screening of films brings the work of this artist back to Los Angeles. Filmmaker Jim Hubbard writes: "Chomont's films offer a lyric depiction of the ordinary world, but at the same time reveal an unabashedly spiritual and sexualized parallel universe. His incomparable technique of offsetting color positive and high contrast black-and-white negative creates a subtly beautiful, otherworldly aura." Fearless and tender, Chomont is a film alchemist, bringing a unique and ravishing vision to the screen. Preceded by a short program of other films, some old, some new, to be announced. 16mm Chomont program includes: Ophelia/The Cat Lady (1969), Love Objects (1971, Holland), The Mirror Garden (1967), Epilogue/Siam (1969), Jabbok (1967), Phases of the Moon (1968), Oblivion (1969). Guest curator Kate Brown. Screening made possible by UCLA Film & Television Archive and The Outfest Legacy Project for LGBT Film Preservation and through the Avant-Garde Master Program funded by The Film Foundation and administered by the National Film Preservation Foundation. 16mm preservation print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Preservation funded by The Film Foundation. 5/10 San Francisco, California: San Francisco Cinematheque http://www.sfcinematheque.org 7:00 PM, <B>SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART</B>; 151 Third Street (between Mission and Howard Streets) SECONDS OF ETERNITY IV: THE FILMS OF GREGORY J. MARKOPOULOS GALAXIE presented in association with Pacific Film Archive and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art [members: $7 / non-members: $10] In March and April of 1966, Markopoulos created Galaxie, an unparalleled work of cinematic portraiture, documenting writers and artists from his New York circle, including Parker Tyler, W.H. Auden, Jasper Johns, Susan Sontag, Storm De Hirsch, Jonas Mekas, Allen Ginsberg and George and Mike Kuchar, most filmed in their homes or studios. Filmed in vibrant color, Galaxie presents an encyclopedic elaboration of the single-frame photography and complex superimpositions found in Ming Green, Through a Lens Brightly and other works and stands as a vibrant response to Andy Warhol's contemporary series of blackand-white machine-eyed Screen Tests. With the portraits presented in the order created, the film affords its viewer the opportunity to observe the rapid development of Markopoulos' technique over the weeks of its creation. Indeed, Galaxie pulses with life and stands as a masterpiece of in-camera composition, editing and economy.
