Alvarado St. (at Sunset) FILMS BY ABRAHAM RAVETT Abraham Ravett holds a B.F.A and M.F.A in filmmaking and photography and has been an independent filmmaker for the past thirty years. In tandem with a current exhibition of Polaroid SX-70 photographs at Orange Coast College, Costa Mesa, CA, filmmaker and Hampshire College Professor Abraham Ravett will present a program of recent and previously made films. The screening includes three films that reflect the complexities of filial relationships; the lingering impact of the Holocaust, and with Horse/Kappa/House, the Japanese rural landscape is presented as a space of loss, memory and collective history. Program: The March (1999), Horse/Kappa/House (1995), and Tziporah (2007) on 16mm; Notes for a Polish Jew (2012) on DVD. Presented and curated by Ravett's former student Eve LaFountain. ------------------------- SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2012 ------------------------- 9/9 Brooklyn, NY: Light Industry http://www.lightindustry.org/ 3pm, 155 Freeman Street CHANTAL AKERMAN PRESENTS MICHAEL SNOW'S LA RÉGION CENTRALE La Région centrale, Michael Snow, 16mm, 1971, 190 mins, Introduced by Chantal Akerman - "You are here, the film is there, it is neither fascism nor entertainment." - Michael Snow - Chantal Akerman presents a screening of Michael Snow's La Région centrale, an important influence that opened her mind "to the relationship between film and your body, time as the most important thing in film." - "For La Région centrale, Snow had a special camera apparatus constructed...an apparatus capable of moving in all directions: horizontally, vertically, laterally, or in a spiral. The film is one continuous movement across space, intercutting occasionally the X serving as a point of reference and permitting one to take hold of stable reality. Snow has chosen to film a deserted region, without the least trace of human life....In the first frames, the camera disengages itself slowly from the ground in a circular movement. Progressively, the space fragments, vision inverts in every sense, light everywhere dissolves appearance. We become insensible accomplices to a sort of cosmic movement....He catapults us into the heart of a world before speech, before arbitrarily composed meanings, even subject. He forces us to rethink not only cinema, but our universe." - Louis Marcorelles, Le Monde - Tickets - $7, available at door. - Please note: seating is limited. First-come, first-served. Box office opens at 2:30pm. 9/9 Chicago, Illinois: Chicago Filmmakers http://www.chicagofilmmakers.org/ 4:00 PM, Gorilla Tangos Skokie Theater, 7924 Lincoln Ave., Skokie REFUGE - CHICAGOS OWN: DIRECTOR ETHAN BESINGER IN PERSON! Co-presented by Gorilla Tango Theater. Refuge is a one-hour documentary revealing the origins and originality of a resourceful Chicago community that over generations has brought together more than 1,000 Central European Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors under one roof. Interweaving archival footage with testimony of the Selfhelp Home's residents, founders, and historians, this film reaches back 70 years to tell the experiences of this last generation before, during, and after World War II. (2012, 60 min.) Admission: $10 -------------------------- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 -------------------------- 9/10 Houston, Texas: The Menhil Collection http://www.menil.org/programs/TheSoundsofSilence.php 6pm, 1533 Sul Ross Street THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE 1: A KIND OF A HUSH The three-part series The Sounds of Silence tracks the many ways in which media artists have engaged sound and its diminutive double, silence. From the muted films of Stan Brakhage and Nathaniel Dorsky, through the clamorous scores of Harry Smith and Peggy Ahwesh, to the sampled sonorities of Warner Jepson and Stephen Vitiello, the series follows the artist's use of film sound as it evolved through numerous improvisations. The film program was organized by Steve Seid, Video Curator of University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Thanks to Rice University, Department of Visual and Dramatic Arts. A Kind of Hush, principally film with some video, looks at silent films and a few with sound but sound that was either completely unexpected at the time, or oddly arbitrary. Meshes of the Afternoon Maya Deren & Hammid (1943, Silent/Sound, 14 mins, B&W, 16mm); The Riddle of the Lumen Stan Brakhage (1972, Silent, 17 mins, Color, 16mm); Zen for Film Nam June Paik (1962-64, Silent, 8 mins, Color, Video); Threnody Nathaniel Dorsky (2004, Silent, 25 mins, Color, 16mm); four words for four hands (apples.mountains.over.frozen.)

Combining the formal techniques and structures of abstract/absolute animation with those of cinematic genres, her handmade films use collage to explore the relationship between graphic cinema and storytelling, the tension between form and meaning. Mack's 16mm films have screened at a variety of venues including the Anthology Film Archives, Images Festival, Velaslavasay Panorama, Onion City Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Black Maria Film Festival, and the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar. She has also worked as a curator and administrator with Dartmouth's EYEWASH: Experimental Films and Videos, Florida Experimental Film and Video Festival, Portland Documentary and Experimental Film Festival, Eye and Ear Clinic, Chicago Underground Film Festival, and Chicago's-favorite micro-cinema, The Nightingale. Additionally, Mack is an Illinois Arts Council media arts fellow and the 2010 co-recipient of the Orphan Film Symposium's Helen Hill Award. - MASSART FILM SOCIETY, Programmed by Saul Levine, is a screening class for MassArt film students open to those who are interested. We hope to provide access to films and videos not often shown at other venues. - http://massartfilmsociety.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------- THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2012 ---------------------------- 9/13 Los Angeles, California: Filmforum http://www.lafilmforum.org/ 7:00pm, MOCA Grand Avenues Ahmanson Auditorium, 250 South Grand Avenue L.A. FILMFORUM AT MOCA PRESENTS TRICKY POSES AND TAXING CONDITIONS: PERFORMANCE AND MEDIA (ENCORE PRESENTATION FROM ALTERNATIVE PROJECTIONS: EXPERIMENTAL FILM IN LOS ANGELES) Los Angeles Filmforum at MOCA continues its bi-monthly series with Tricky Poses and Taxing Conditions: Performance and Media, an encore presentation from Alternative Projections: Experimental Film in Los Angeles, a part of Pacific Standard Time. The screening delves into the wide variety of entertaining ways that the act and art of performance was integrated into film and video work in Los Angeles in the 1970s, featuring works by such artists as Bas Jan Ader, Sam Erenberg, Morgan Fisher, Cythia Maughan, Paul McCarthy, Susan Mogul, Bruce Nauman, Richard Newton, Allan Sekula, Nancy Angelo and Candace Compton Pappas, and Grahame Weinbren and Roberta Friedman. Much early video work captured performance events in real time, utilizing this capability of video and its distribution. Some works went further, to analyze the nature of performance for media; replicating performances from past performances; and confronting the challenging space created by bodies. Less well known are films that also made these investigations. All films that have people in them in some way involve performance; these selections raise questions about the nature and purpose of performance, and also playfully look at how the camera, filmmaker, and projectionist also perform their roles. Program curated by Adam Hyman. In person: Sam Erenberg, Susan Mogul, Richard Newton (subject to change) Special thanks: Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions TICKETS: $12, FREE for members of MOCA or Los Angeles Filmforum (present your membership card at the box office to claim tickets; no free tickets will be issued without membership card.

Considered today to be the culminating achievement of the Soviet silent film era, historical epic The New Babylon was filmmakers Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg's final silent work. Set during the 1871 Paris Commune, the New Babylon luxury store clerk Louise joins the Communards to fight for the cause, highlighting the clash and contrast between Parisian workers and the bourgeoisie, capitalist functionaries and soldiers manning barricades. Kozintsev and Trauberg depict this revolutionary time with impressionistic cutting and metaphorical compositions in this dazzling work. The original score by Dimitri Shostakovich uses period French music and features an arrangement of "La Marseillaise."

Barry Ave. SAINTS OF THE AVANT-GARDE SERIES - MAGNIFICAT: FILMS BY PAT ONEILL Los Angeles-based filmmaker Pat O'Neill has been straddling commercial cinema and the avant-garde since the 1970s. As an optical effects artist, he has created special effects for many films including The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983) while making his own highly original shorts. Combining optical printing with found footage, abstract animation, and original cinematography, his films offer a beautiful and often humorous tour of the American psyche by drawing strange associations from disparate elements in order to form a rich, layered collage.

Fleeing a Chinese revolution, four civilians crash-land their hijacked plane in the Himalayas and are rescued by the people of Shangri-la. Shrouded in mystery, they discover a hidden world of peace and harmony in this enchanted paradise where time stands still. Based on the best-selling novel by James Hilton, director Frank Capra's masterpiece stars Ronald Colman and Jane Wyatt, and was a box office hit at the time of its release. Lost Horizon won Academy Awards for Art Direction (Set Design) and Film Editing, and was widely circulated among the armed services during World War II. Box Office: (617) 824-8400 General Public: $10 | Members & Seniors: $7.50 | Students: $5 | Emerson Students: Free 9/15 Los Angeles, California: Echo Park Film Center http://www.echoparkfilmcenter.org/ 8 pm, 1200 N. Alvarado Street NEW WORKS SALON Several local and visiting artists will present new in-progress or recently completed works. Bay Area-based Zach Iannazzi will be here with two recent 16mm films; Wildness Regained! from 2008 presents factless documents of a man-altered landscape, and his two-projector When I Get Back From Massachusetts from 2011 in which New England bliss looms a little strange. Local artist Pablo Valencia will project a new collection of Super 8 miniatures: portraits, landscapes, abstractions. And Pat O'Neill presents his new digital video Painter and Ball 4-14, which is, in part, a record of summer overtaking spring outside my studio window, while a chunky little manikin levitates in joyous captivity. Ross Lipman will present the newest part of his The Perfect Heart of Flux, a cycle of works on the nature of organic change: Casa Loma (Dignity and Impudence). Casa Loma was the unfinished dream mansion of Canadian industrial magnate Henry Pellatt. A self-made millionaire, Pellatt was derided by fellow aristocrats for nouveau-riche pretentions: the house and its décor considered by many an ornate fake. Its original contents were sold at Pellatt's bankruptcy auction in 1924. Today the building is a museum; its current curators filling its halls with furniture and trappings of the general era. In one corridor, carefully lit, is a folk-art portrait of two dogs accompanied by the sentimental epithet, "Dignity and impudence." 9/15 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 - 6. PASSING TIME The passage of time and a certain amount of distance were probably necessary before visual artists began questioning the reality and aftermath of Nazism. This program introduces several rarely screened works that directly confront recent Austrian history, and they had obvious and radical social, political and artistic repercussions for the Viennese Actionists and the student protests of May '68. Time has passed over dark horizons to become permeated with transforming cities or history in neighbouring countries through the use of judiciously chosen found footage. Works in this program include NS Trilogie Part II: Feeling Kazet (1997); NIGHTSTILL (2007); KUNST & REVOLUTIONARY ART & REVOLUTION (1968); 55/95 (1994); EIN DRITTES REICH (1975); TITO-MATERIAL (1998); CITYSCAPES (2007); 20/68 SCHATZI (1968). Total running time: 79 min. -------------------------- SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2012 -------------------------- 9/16 Chicago, Illinois: Northwest Chicago Film Society http://www.northwestchicagofilmsociety.org 7:00 PM, Cinema Borealis, 1550 N Milwaukee Ave, 4th Floor HOME MOVIES AND THE AVANT-GARDE: PROGRAM 1 Presented in collaboration with the Chicago Film Archives as part of Home Movie Day The Program: [1] People Near Here (Ron Finne, 1969, 12 min, 16mm from Film-makers' Coop) [2] Urban Peasants (Ken Jacobs, 1975, 60 min, 16mm from Film-makers' Coop) [3] Shit Rat (Dave Rodriguez, 2012, 20 min, 16mm from the artist) For decades, home movies and avant-garde films were jointly denigrated as 'amateur' in the least appealing sense: precious, obscure, endless, and immeasurably handicapped by a lack of professional polish. They were judged as failed attempts at Hollywood-style filmmaking, though their aspirations and implications often could not be more removed. In the 1960s, avant-garde filmmakers like Jonas Mekas and Stan Vanderbeek began reclaiming the epithet of 'home moviemakers,' producing work that challenged the borders of amateur cinema and domesticity itself. In honor of the tenth anniversary of Home Movie Day, we present two programs of avant-garde films that exalt, appropriate, and reshuffle home movies. 9/16 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 4:45 pm, 32 2nd Avenue TOUCH.30 In September 2012 Touch, one of the premiere international labels for experimental music, will present a series of events in Manhattan and Brooklyn at ISSUE Project Room, Experimental Intermedia, and Anthology Film Archives to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Since its first release in 1982, Touch has created sonic and visual productions that combine innovation with a level of care and attention that has made it the most enduring of any independent music company of its time. The label has presented a wide range of artists from New Order to Thomas Köner, and now has a strong focus on artists such as Fennesz, Chris Watson, Philip Jeck, Jana Winderen, Hildur Gudnadottir, Oren Ambarchi, and Biosphere. This screening features THE SUFFOLK SYMPHONY, the product of a week-long treasure hunt to unearth old records, field recordings, home-made sounds, and images, with audio by Philip Jeck & BJNilsen, and LIQUID MUSIC, a piece featuring the music of Christian Fennesz, with footage from Prague, Paxos, Crete, Cephalonia, Messinia, London, and Monterey Bay. THE SUFFOLK SYMPHONY 2010, 48 minutes, video. Directed by Mike Harding; visuals by Jon Wozencroft; audio by Philip Jeck & BJNilsen. LIQUID MUSIC 2012, 40 minutes, video. Visuals by Jon Wozencroft; audio by Christian Fennesz. Total running time: ca. 95 minutes.
