Hey everyone, Missed "This week" post, but we have two events this weekend at Echo Park Film Center of interest to the list... both are $5 and start at 8pm. Echo Park Film Center is at 1200 N. Alvarado St in lovely Los Angeles....
*Thursday, August 1 – THE OPEN COLLOQUIUM – 8 PM *The August edition of EPFC's monthly Open Colloquium will feature a presentation by visiting artist *Kristin Bedford*, in discussion of her newest work *Field Notes, Durham Noir.* As always, our cinematic symposium dares you to share your film with the feisty EPFC audience. Any genre! Any style! New, old, work-in-progress! First come, first screened; one film per filmmaker; 10-minute maximum. DVD, VHS, mini-DV, DV-CAM, Super 8, standard 8mm, and 16mm are all welcome in this freewheeling conference of moving image artists and singer songwriters. *Saturday, August 3 – HEARKENINGS PRESENTS STRUCTURAL/MATERIALIST FILMS – 8 PM* In the 1970s, the rigors of structural film were taken to an unprecedented extreme by the artists of the London Film-maker's Co-operative. Foremost among them was *Peter Gidal,* whose severe aesthetic was matched by a cantankerous polemicism in his theoretical writings. He argued in his essays that it was politically necessary to resist narrative, and attempted in his films to foreground the ideological processes of film viewing. Though this project may not have realized its utopian ambitions, the questions raised by Gidal et al. about the politics of film form remain relevant and necessary. Featuring: *Room Film 1973* (Peter Gidal, 1973, 16mm, 54min) and *Shepherd's Bush* (Mike Legget, 1971, 16mm, 15min)
