Alvarado St (at Sunset) ARTUR ARISTAKISYAN'S PALMS "Artur Aristakisyan's 1993 documentary, Palms (Ladoni), has been a film cited more than seen; it's an intensely poetic, provocativeeven inspiringaccount of the poor and destitute in Chisinau (formerly Kishinev), the capital of Moldova ... it was shot in handheld, black-and-white 16mm and enlarged to 35mm in an a way that makes it seem like a scratched, overly-contrasted artifact from ages past; a film about the purity of abjection that physically resembles its subject. The only soundtrack is Aristakisyan's ruminating narration and brief snatches of Giuseppe Verdi's soaring music. The footage was collected over the course of several years shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union and Moldova's independence, and it could be said to be a baring of the country's repressed soul through the tenuous lives of its vagabonds." --Doug Cummings, Film Journeys. Directed by Artur Aristakisyan, 1993, 139min, projected from DVD. With an introduction by Ross Lipman. 5/26 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 4:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: L'AGE D'OR by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali In French with no subtitles (printed synopsis provided in English), 1930, 73 minutes (THE GOLDEN AGE) Conventional attempts at plot description wither in the face of L'ÂGE D'OR. Buñuel writes of it, "The story is a sequence of moral and surrealist aesthetics. The sexual instinct and the sense of death form the substance of the film. It is a romantic film performed in full surrealistic frenzy." 5/26 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue SOLUS PROGRAM 2 PROGRAM 2: CHILDRENS' FILMS The first four of these films were shot during Super-8mm workshops given by the Film Flamme association in Marseille and by Moira Tierney in Dublin, Fermanagh, and Toulouse. The children were at total liberty to proceed as they desired; adult input consisted of technical support and post-production (the films were primarily edited in-camera; post production consisted of assembling the images and sound according to the childrens' instructions). The fifth film was shot by children in the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area) of County Cork, Ireland, during a workshop led by Donal Ó'Céilleachair.

This film, one of St. Clair Bourne's most rarely seen, chronicles a fact-finding trip to Belfast made by five American civil rights activists, including the Reverend Herbert Daughtry. Drawing a parallel between the civil rights movement and the troubles in Northern Ireland, the film documents the activists' discovery that many Catholics in Ireland had been influenced by the civil rights movement. As the WASHINGTON POST reported at the time, "In the Belfast ghetto, the delegation members are strangers in a familiar land of crushed tenements, graffiti-stained walls, and heavily armed law officers." Reverend Daughtry and Sandy Boyer, both of whom are featured in the film, will be here in person for the screening! 5/26 San Francisco, California: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ 8:30pm, 992 Valencia Street NEW EXPERIMENTAL WORKS Here's an energized evening of new cinema that champions personal expression and radical form.

With films by Tony Conrad, Rose Lowder, Randy-Sterling Hunter, Zach Iannazzi and more. Iteration/Aberration explores the relationships between pattern, wavelength, and rhythm to that of perception, memory and experience. By extending cinema beyond traditional forms of presentation, the projector and audience become dynamic and malleable elements that reframe the media-maker's role into that more akin to a performer, conductor or choreographer. These artist's employ optical, electrical and mechanical manipulations that pry cinema into a ritualistic performance of light and sound fully accepting that the act of watching, changes that which is being watched. -------------------- SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 -------------------- 5/27 London, England: LUX / ICA Binennial of Moving Images http://biennialofmovingimages.org.uk/symposium/ 10 am - 1 pm, ICA Theatre, Institute of Contemporary Arts, The Mall, London SW1Y 5AH CONTEMPORARY CURRENTS Keynote address: Maeve Connolly, Television, Cultural Legitimation and Contemporary Art Maeve Connolly is a writer, lecturer and research fellow at Internationales Kolleg für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie (IKKM), Weimar Bauhaus University Further papers by: Katy Connor, From Solid Light to Satellite: the materiality of the moving image as broadcast signal and data (EMERGE, Bournemouth University Media School) Christopher C de Selincourt, Where is the Mind of the Media Editor?

Both formally inventive and mischievously articulate, his works propose raptures of vision and riddles of language that are uniquely positioned within the contemporary American avant-garde. TONGUE TIES offers a circumnavigation of the subject of language. By turns it is a reflexive riff on reading, an homage to the passing of film; a hyperdimensional speech, an Edenic parable, an arch ideological satire, and a performance piece about communication. There are reflections on time and language and there are explorations of the places where speech and power seem to intersect. The work offers a nod to Ludwig Wittgenstein who, in one of his more jovial moments, announced that "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." Much of the work is a voluble illustration of that dictum.

Both formally inventive and mischievously articulate, they propose raptures of vision and riddles of language that position his work as entirely unique within the contemporary American avant-garde. "Rose's work is timeless in every sense of the word. They continue on in retrospect. His movies are hard to shake intensely powerful, personal, lucid, and relentless." Joe Baltake, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS PROGRAM 1: TONGUE TIES TONGUE TIES offers a circumnavigation of the subject of language. By turns it is a reflexive riff on reading, an homage to the passing of film; a hyperdimensional performance piece, an Edenic parable, a Zen koan, an arch ideological satire, and a performance piece about communication. There are reflections on time and language and there are explorations of the places where speech and power seem to intersect. I offer a nod to Tom Phillips's "A Humument", the Firesign Theatre, the Four Horseman, Sid Caesar, early Woody Allen, Julian Jaynes, and Ludwig Wittgenstein who, in one of his more jovial moments, announced that "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."

Alvarado St (at Sunset) LA AIR: TUNI CHATTERJI LA AIR is a new artist-in-residence program that invites Los Angeles filmmakers to utilize EPFC resources in creating a new work over a four-week period. Tuni Chatterji's conceptual framework starts with form itself. She is interested in looking at the physical and philosophical spaces between fiction and documentation and the relationship between images and sounds relative to the phenomena of the cinematic experience. Her filmmaking practice is informed by her study of painting. After receiving a BFA in painting from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, she went on to receive a MFA in Filmmaking from the California Institute of the Arts. In 2007, Tuni received a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct research and start production on her feature length documentary Okul Nodi. Tuni's work has been screened around the world at venues including Rotterdam International Film Festival, Printemps du Septembre and The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Beginning with the movement around a specific place and time, her proposed residency project SUNSET AT NOON will be a study of Sunset Boulevard at Noon.

These works explore multi-temporalities of movement, the raptures of vision, the American landscape, the machineries of the sky, the corridors of the underground, and the powers of darkness.

Alvarado St. (at Sunset) JJ MURPHY'S PRINT GENERATION & STAN BRAKHAGE'S PASSAGE THROUGH: A RITUAL Two newly restored masterworks of the American avant-garde, presented in brand new prints, from the restorations by the Academy Film Archive. Presented by Mark Toscano. PRINT GENERATION by J.J. Murphy (1973-74, 16mm, color, sound, 50min.) J.J. Murphy's film follows one minute (60 one-second shots) of unspectacular anecdotal footage through 50 film printing generations, as the imagery moves from distant abstraction, to extreme clarity, and back to abstraction again. The result is one of the most humane and moving achievements of so-called structuralist film, a breathtaking use of the inherent qualities of film to evoke complex notions of memory and loss. PASSAGE THROUGH: A RITUAL by Stan Brakhage (1990, 16mm, color, sound, 46min.) One of Stan Brakhage's few films to be cut precisely to an existing soundtrack, Passage Through: A Ritual emerged from an unexpected collaboration-by-mail between Brakhage and composer Philip Corner. Inspired by seeing Brakhage's 1972 film The Riddle of Lumen, Corner recorded a variation of a piano piece in progress, Through the Mysterious Barricades, and sent the resulting tape to Brakhage as a gift. Moved by the recording and the fact that one of his films had inspired it, Brakhage asked Corner if he could make a new film with this recording as its soundtrack. The resulting film is one of Brakhage's most restrained, sparse, and beautiful.
