Howard St. Baltimore, MD 21201 SIGHT UNSEEN PRESENTS: SCENE MISSING Doors @7pm, films at dusk in the back courtyard of Current Space. Chairs will be provided, but feel free to bring your own seating or blankets! $7 general admission. All films featured on 16mm! SCENE MISSING exposes the enduring tradition in experimental cinema of repurposing found and original film footage. The medium is masterfully recycled by means of chemical and optical manipulations. Frame by frame, the filmmakers' devotion to celluloid involves an intensely personal quality and handcrafted integrity. Emotional resonance projects through the envisioning of ephemeral worlds, excavation of collective memory and disruption of narrative artifice. The beauty of what is long gone or recently passed is resurrected through unique film spaces that overwhelm the senses. Including films by: Kenny Curwood, Kelly Spivey, Malic Amalya, Moira Tierney, Luther Price, Lewis Klahr, Peter Tscherkassky, Ryan O'Toole, & Phil Solomon. TRT: 88m. For more information on the films, go to http://www.sightunseenbaltimore.com/ SIGHT UNSEEN is a roaming monthly screening series showcasing experimental film, video, and live cinematic performance. This series invites recognized pioneers and emerging innovators of moving image media to participate in screenings and performances throughout Baltimore. Programmed by Margaret Rorison, Lorenzo Gattorna, & Kate Ewald and developed with support from the Launch Artists in Baltimore Award. 8/25 Los Angeles, California: UCLA Film and Television Archive http://www.cinema.ucla.edu 7:30 p.m., 10899 Wilshire Boulevard (intersection of Wilshire and Westwood Boulevards) BREAKING GROUND: 60 YEARS OF AUSTRIAN EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA - 3. CONCRETE FORMS Though the title doesn't mention architecture explicitly, this discipline is omnipresent in all its diversity in both the objectification of structures and descriptions of space. From the Adriatic coast to California, utopian concrete masses take on a form of their own, or even as humorous vehicles to sell shoes. Sound-driven works, from a younger generation of collaborative audiovisual artists in particular, accompany abstract and animated forms with vigor and intelligence. Works in this program include QUADRO (2002); BESENBAHN (2001); HUMANIC SPOT-WURFEL 1 (1971); HUMANIC SPOT-WÜRFEL 1 (1971); VOID.SEQZ 5 (2009); HUMANIC SPOT-WURFEL 2 (1971); HYPERBULIE (1973); RANDOM (1963); CHRONOMOPS (2004); HUMANIC SPOT-UND IMMER WEIDERDIE WURFEL (1973); THE_FUTURE_OF_HUMAN_CONTAINMENT (2002); SEA CONCRETE HUMAN (MALFUNCTIONS #1) (2001); MACHINATION 84 (2010). Total running time: 90 min. 8/25 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 5:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue 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. 8/25 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue 1913 MASSACRE & SEEKING THE MONKEY KING See notes for Aug. 24, 7: 30 pm. 8/25 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: OLD AND NEW by Sergei Eisenstein With Russian intertitles (English synopsis available), 1929, 120 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent (STAROYE I NOVOYE) Known also as THE GENERAL LINE, OLD AND NEW is one of Eisenstein's least-known films. 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. 8/25 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue 1913 MASSACRE & SEEKING THE MONKEY KING See notes for Aug. 24, 7:30 pm. ----------------------- SUNDAY, AUGUST 26, 2012 ----------------------- 8/26 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue 1913 MASSACRE & SEEKING THE MONKEY KING See notes for Aug. 24, 7:30 pm. 8/26 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: IVAN THE TERRIBLE by Sergei Eisenstein In Russian with no subtitles (English synopsis available), 1942-46, 194 minutes, 35mm, b&w and color (IVAN GROZNY) "The first time in history a man has committed suicide by cinema," quipped Dovzhenko. A state-sanctioned production, Ivan's opulent furs and jewels color the black-and-white machinations by a demonic Czar bent on making his subjects' lives a living hell a statement pointed with outrage directly at Stalin. 8/26 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue 1913 MASSACRE & SEEKING THE MONKEY KING See notes for Aug. 24, 7:30 pm. ------------------------- THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 2012 ------------------------- 8/30 San Francisco, California: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art http://www.sfmoma.org 7:00pm, Phyllis Wattis Theater CINDY SHERMAN SELECTS FILM SERIES: KICK-ASS 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 the final film in the Cindy Sherman Selects series, and she's going out with a bang with this screening of Matthew Vaughan's 2010 film, Kick-Ass. Based on a comic book, Kick-Ass follows the adventures of an average teenager, who, without any real powers or training, dons an Internet-bought green-and-yellow wetsuit and sets out to become a real-life superhero. Along the way, he encounters fellow DIY superheroes Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage) and his preteen daughter Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz). Together they must ward off the evil of a local mobster and his teenage son, Kick Ass's arch-nemesis. 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). 8/30 Seoul, South Korea: EXiS experimental film & video festival in Seoul http://ex-is.org 2, Mapogu Seogyodong 375-13 Wonchun Bldg 6th floor.

Lake Shore Dr. STRANGE SCIENCE SERIES - CONVENTO Co-sponsored by the Adler Planetarium. "Dutch kinetic artist Christiaan Zwanikken resurrects the deceased local wildlife by reanimating the skeletal remains with servomotors and robotic engineering. He breeds these new species in a 400 yr. old monastery in a village in Portugal that has been restored from ruins, to become his family's home, an artists' workshop and nature preserve. Filmed entirely in Portugal, Convento's camera is almost perpetually in motion, tracking through the monastery and its landscape, transporting the audience into the daily lives of these extraordinary people. Each family member simultaneously nourishes the coexistence of art and nature, documented through a series of connected micro-narratives." SXSW (2011, 52 min.)
