> Genet's poetic expression of male eroticism pitted against the confines
> of prison cells and a homophobic state… a powerfully resonant work that
> explores individual freedom and the laws of desire. Robert Frank &
> Alfred Leslie PULL MY DAISY 1959, 28 minutes, 35mm, b&w. A largely
> spontaneous experiment, arranged in 1959 by Robert Frank along with
> Alfred Leslie. They enlisted the participation of Jack Kerouac, who
> offered in place of an original screenplay a stage play he'd never
> finished writing, "The Beat Generation." The plot is based on an
> incident in the life of Neal Cassady and his wife Carolyn. They're
> raising a family and trying to fit in with their suburban neighbors, and
> one night they invite a respectable neighborhood bishop over for dinner.
> But Neal's Beat friends crash the party, and that Marx Brothers-like
> scenario is the closest thing the film has to a storyline. Total running
> time: ca. 60 minutes.

> And three of Ireland's most uncompromising alternative filmmakers,
> Rouzbeh Rashidi, Dean Kavanagh and Maximilian Le Cain, will be on hand
> to present a series of their more disturbing shorts. Visit

> ESSENTIAL CINEMA: GRANT/JACOBS & FLEISCHNER PROGRAM
> Dwinell Grant COMPOSITION #2 CONTRATHEMIS 1941, 5 minutes, 16mm, color,
> silent. "An attempt to develop visual abstract themes and to
> counterpoint them in a planned, formal composition." –D.G. "Austere and
> chaste combinations, with subtle manipulation of structure, density and
> rhythm."–William Moritz STOP MOTION TESTS 1942, 3 minutes, 16mm, color,
> silent. A self-portrait. COLOR SEQUENCE 1943, 3 minutes, 16mm, color,
> silent. "Pure solid-color frames which fade, mutate and flicker. A
> research into color rhythms and perceptual phenomena." –William Moritz
> Ken Jacobs LITTLE STABS AT HAPPINESS 1959-63, 18 minutes, 16mm, color.
> Featuring Jack Smith. "Material was cut in as it came out of the camera,
> embarrassing moments intact. 100' rolls timed well with music on old
> 78s. I was interested in immediacy, a sense of ease, and an art where
> suffering was acknowledged but not trivialized with dramatics. Whimsy
> was our achievement as well as breaking out of step." –K.J. Ken Jacobs &
> Bob Fleischner BLONDE COBRA 1959-63, 35 minutes, 16-to-35mm blow-up,
> b&w/color. Featuring Jack Smith. Preserved by Anthology, with the
> generous support of The Film Foundation, The National Film Preservation
> Foundation, Simon Lund and Cineric, Inc. "BLONDE COBRA is an erratic
> narrative – no, not really a narrative, it's only stretched out in time
> for convenience of delivery. It's a look in on an exploding life, on a
> man of imagination suffering pre-fashionable Lower East Side deprivation
> and consumed with American 1950s, 40s, 30s disgust. Silly, self-pitying,
> guilt-strictured and yet triumphing – on one level – over the situation
> with style… enticing us into an absurd moral posture the better to
> dismiss us with a regal 'screw off.'" –K.J. Total running time: ca. 70
> minutes.

> EARLY MONTHLY SEGMENTS #42 = SUSAN SONTAG'S PROMISED LANDS
> We're thrilled to present a recently preserved 16mm print of Susan
> Sontag's only documentary. Filmed during the bitter end of Israel's Yom
> Kippur War in 1973, and subsequently banned in Israel upon release, she
> called it her "most personal film." From Harvard Film Archive: In her
> writing as in this film, Sontag preferred "collage, assemblage, and
> inventory." Lingering shots of mourners at the Wailing Wall, abandoned
> remains of humans and their machines, and soldiers reenacting war in a
> psychiatric ward interact with sequences of herdsmen minding goats,
> people chatting at the market, and children holding hands. "It is a film
> about a mental landscape...as well as a physical and political one."
> said Sontag. Unidentified voices sometimes reinforce, sometimes counter
> her visual chronicle – itself containing many contradictions amid the
> grief and gunfire. Pondering the origins and probable outcome of "two
> rights opposing each other," Israeli writer Yoram Kaniuk and physicist
> Yuval Ne'eman typify variations of the intellectual speculation that
> continues today. Painfully present, Promised Lands reverberates like the
> bells in the opening shots or the recurring heart monitor sound
> flat-lining and coming to life again … ominous yet hopeful, always a
> lament. WEBSITE: www.earlymonthlysegments.org

> CINDY SHERMAN SELECTS FILM SERIES: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
> In conjunction with SFMOMA's Cindy Sherman retrospective, the artist has
> selected a few of the films that have shaped her vision. Reflecting a
> wide spectrum of genres and eras, the works shown here highlight the
> extraordinary range of her interests and influences. This week is a
> screening of Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror film classic, The Texas Chainsaw
> Massacre, which follows a group of young travelers whose car breaks down
> in the middle of nowhere to their misfortune. Known for originating many
> of the staples of the slasher genre — such as a faceless killer and
> power tools as weapons — it also functioned as a critique of the meat
> industry. Ticketing costs are $5 general admission; free for SFMOMA
> members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be
> picked up in the Haas Atrium).

> New York Times Critic's Pick. Narrated by Ryan Reynolds, The Whale is a

> A PLACE ON EARTH
> With an introduction by filmmaker and restorationist Ross Lipman
> (schedule permitting). A Place On Earth is a fiction film made with the
> participation of a real commune in Moscow, one in which the director
> himself lived. As with Palms, Aristakisyan's previous work, A Place on
> Earth is not just a film; it is an encounter, and it leaves one
> unsettled by its radical ethical demands. Says Aristakisyan: "The film
> does not leave room to maneuver and avoid change... It precludes the
> very possibility for indulgence in collective delusions after having
> seen it... It also precludes the possibility for neatly sweeping its
> contents under the intellectual rug...This is not a socially conscious
> film. There is no society... It is not a philosophical film either.
> There are no authorial points of view or ideas. It has to be
> admitted—this film is dangerous. Truly dangerous." Dir. Artur
> Aristakisyan, 2001, 120min, projected from DVD

> Observations of everyday events and life are transposed with irony and
> humor through choreographic touches, performative actions or documentary
> real time. Static scenes become mini cinematographic voyages: a kiss
> enhanced through repetition and recreation, bicycles loaded into an
> elevator or being repaired, workers finishing their day, or bodybuilding
> as an artistic performance in itself. The ordinary is subtly tweaked to
> create wry visual motifs for our undisguised pleasure. Works in this
> program include HERNALS (1967); BYKETROUBLE (1998); PIECE TOUCHEE
> (1989); NACH "PIECE TOUCHEE" (1998); HOTEL ROCCALBA (2008); BODYBUILDING

> by Carl Th. Dreyer In Danish with no subtitles (English synopsis
> available), 1931-32, 70 minutes, 35mm, b&w "Imagine that we are sitting
> in a very ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse
> behind the door. Instantly, the room we are sitting in has taken on
> another look. The light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are
> physically the same. This is because we have changed and the objects are
> as we conceive them. This is the effect I wanted to produce in VAMPYR."

> by Carl Th. Dreyer No English intertitles (English synopsis available),
> 1927-28, 98 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent (LA PASSION DE JEANNE D'ARC) A
> work that exemplifies Dreyer's philosophy: simplicity is the most
> complex idea of all. Although renowned for its spare acts, lack of
> embellishment, and use of simple shots, Dreyer's masterpiece reveals the
> natural complexity of an un-retouched face (often existing alone,
> filling up the frame) and a landscape of history as individual as the
> lines on that face. Made in 1927-28, it continues to haunt the cinema,
> looking more and more avant-garde as the years go by.
