Alvarado St (at Sunset) HEARKENINGS PRESENTS EARLY FILMS BY D.W. GRIFFITH $5 / "The motion picture is an art, since it approaches more closely real life." That this quote comes from D.W. Griffith creates a paradox: he helped standardize many conventions of cinematic illusion, and yet he showed a dynamic receptivity to real life. What did he mean? This screening will feature a selection of short films made during Griffith's formative years at the Biograph Company including Fools of Fate (1909), Lines of White on a Sullen Sea (1909), A Corner in Wheat (1909), The Rose of Kentucky (1911), The Painted Lady (1912) and others. All films will be projected on 16mm. 9/28 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue PHIL NIBLOCK PROGRAM 1 PROGRAM 1: ENVIRONMENTS The 'Environments' were a series of non-verbal theater and museum installations/performances that Niblock produced at the turn of the 1960s. These were originally presented in various venues Judson Church, NYC, the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, and the Whitney Museum. Only the last three 'Environments' still exist in their complete versions. We will be screening them as they were originally presented, as three 16mm film images projected simultaneously side-by-side the first time they've been shown this way since the 70s and with early analog music by Niblock. CROSS COUNTRY/ENVIRONMENT II (1970, ca. 60 min, 16mm) 100 MILE RADIUS/ENVIRONMENT III (1971, ca. 60 min, 16mm) TEN HUNDRED INCH RADII/ENVIRONMENT IV (1971, ca. 60 min, 16mm) Total running time: ca. 3 hours 9/28 San Francisco, California: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ 8:30, 992 Valencia St. SAM GREENS TREE UTOPIA + DEAR COMRADE + JESSE DREW + Mr. Green graces our gallery again with the debut of this "live cinema" piece on the generosity of tree-planting. His performance is paired with the endlessly inspiring Esperanto section of his Utopia in Four Movements. Echoing Sam's communitarian impulses is (in person) Mady Schutzman's hr-long essay on Llano del Rio, a 20th Century secular cooperative founded in Southern California by socialist Job Harriman. Her visit to a Colorado commune and staging of sci-fi scenes are among the parallel universes that play out the possibilities of intentional communities. AND another dear comrade, Jesse Drew, sets the tone on autonomous zones West of Eden (Iain Boal's new anthology). Sangria! -------------------------- SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2013 -------------------------- 9/29 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 1:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue PHIL NIBLOCK PROGRAM 2 PROGRAM 2: THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE WORKING, PART 1 The series of films 'The Movement of People Working' portrays human labor in its most elementary form. Shot by Niblock between 1973-91, on 16mm color film and later video, and in locations including Peru, Mexico, Hungary, Hong Kong, the Arctic, Brazil, Lesotho, Portugal, Sumatra, China, and Japan, the series comprises over 25 hours of footage (from which we'll be showing a selection). It focuses on work as a choreography of movements and gestures, dignifying the mechanical yet natural repetition of laborers' actions. PERU AND MEXICO (1973/74, 96 min, 16mm-to-digital video) BAY JAMES (1976, 25 min, 16mm-to-digital video) ARCTIC (1977, 25 min, 16mm-to-digital video) BRASIL (1984, 90 min, 16mm-to-digital video) Presented with music by Niblock from 1990 to 2013. Total running time: ca. 245 min. 9/29 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue PHIL NIBLOCK PROGRAM 3 PROGRAM 3: THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE WORKING, PART 2 CHINA (1987, 110 min, 16mm-to-digital video) JAPAN (1989, 120 min, 16mm-to-digital video) Presented with music by Niblock from 1990 to 2013. Total running time: ca. 240 min. -------------------------- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 -------------------------- 9/30 Brooklyn, NY: Light Industry http://www.lightindustry.org/ 7:30pm, 155 Freeman Street ELECTRIC AFFINITIES: CLOSE UP AND QUEER MODERNISM A lecture by Mal Ahern - Between 1927 and 1933, the poet H.D. assisted with the publication of the avant-garde film magazine Close Up, which was edited by Bryher and Kenneth Macpherson. The three writers also lived together in a queer ménage à trois, collectively raising a child, making films, and editing their influential journal. - This lecture will present photographs, letters, and films from the group's rich (and sometimes risqué) archive. The trio's personal lives frequently appear in their public work: Bryher solicited essays for the magazine from her own psychoanalyst, and Macpherson directed two of the family's pet monkeys in the film Monkey's Moon. Close Up also shows the queer family's personal obsessions: their interest in the occult and Bauhaus architecture, their anti-censorship activism, and their interactions with diverse figures like G.W. Pabst, Paul Robeson, Sergei Eistenstein, Havelock Ellis, and Gertrude Stein. - But more significantly, images, words, and themes from the trio's private correspondence resurface in their public essays for Close Up, allowing us to give new, erotically-charged valences to many of the terms in appearing in the journal. Their private nicknames and "spirit animal" alter-egos, for instance, often appear as metaphors for cinema itself, suggesting that the authors imagined film as a chimeric animal body capable of many kinds of erotic encounters. Moreover, H.D. and Bryher's writings on psychoanalysis give us the opportunity to imagine an alternative form of psychoanalytic film theory, one based on queer and female visual pleasure. By placing H.D., Bryher, and Macpherson's essays in their proper context, we can read their work as offering a very queer account of cinematic modernism. - The lecture will be accompanied by a screening of Monkey's Moon (1929). - Mal Ahern is a third-year PhD student in the joint program in Film Studies and History of Art at Yale University. Her work has been published in The New Inquiry and Millennium Film Journal, and her essay "Riddles of the Sphinx and the Center of the Pan" is forthcoming in the 2014 Yale University Press book Panoramic Vistas. - FREE - Please note: seating is limited. First-come, first-served. Box office opens at 7pm. 9/30 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue PHIL NIBLOCK PROGRAM 4 PROGRAM 4: Katherine Liberovskaya 70 FOR 70 (+ 1): SEVENTY (ONE) SIDES OF PHILL NIBLOCK 2004, 103 min, digital video A dynamic portrait composed from fragments of seventy (+1) extremely close-up interventions on video about Niblock by seventy (+1) people connected to him in some way. These interventions, or monologues, were collected in honor of his 70th year (2003-2004) and the piece premiered the day of his 71st birthday, October 2, 2004, as an installation at Diapason Gallery for Sound and Intermedia, NYC. Seventy people among his numerous colleagues and friends were invited to say anything they wanted about Niblock within the constraints of a very tight shot of their face. The result is an intimate collage of meditations, reminiscences, anecdotes, stories, impressions, feelings from seventy-one different angles: seventy (one) sides of Phill Niblock.

This 35mm screening would not have been possible without support from the Oedipus Foundation, Goethe-Institut Boston, and the Consulate General of France in Boston. 10/1 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue FLAHERTY NYC PROGRAM 1 REFUSE & REFUSAL: ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN & AVANT-GARDIST INTERVENTIONS "The truth of a society is in its detritus." Ella Shohat & Robert Stam "The world is our garbage, we shall not want." Black Mask The previously unquenchable spirit of the modernist avant-garde seems to have evaporated at almost the same moment as anti-authoritarian, autonomist, and anarchist movements re-surfaced in the 21st century. These films, which explore the unmistakable correspondence between refuse and refusal, should tell us a thing or two about this wholly unpredicted emergence. Jean-Marie Straub FOR JOACHIM GATTI (France, 2009, 3 min) New York Newsreel GARBAGE (USA, 1968, 10 min) Joseph Beuys & Jurgen Boch AUSFEGEN (Germany, 1972, 26 min) Andrey Ustinov & Natalya Nikolaeva EXPULSION FROM PARADISE (Russia, 2002, 2.5 min) Jorge Furtado ISLE OF FLOWERS (Brazil, 1989, 12 min) Chiapas Media Project THE LAND BELONGS TO THOSE WHO WORK IT (Mexico, 2005, 15 min) Total running time: ca. 75 min. Speakers: Ben Morea, Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri. 10/1 Paris, France: Collectif Jeune Cinéma 8pmj, Cinema La Clef, 34 rue Daubenton PRATIQUES FILMIQUES DU COLLAGE (1975-2013) // SÉANCE RÉGULIÃRE DU COLLECTIF JEUNE CINÉMA La première séance régulière de la rentrée sera consacrée aux pratiques filmiques du Collage (1975-2013). - Cette séance fait partie d'une programmation plus vaste consacrée au Found Footage au sein de la 15ème édition du FESTIVAL DES CINÉMAS DIFFÉRENTS ET EXPÉRIMENTAUX DE PARIS. - ************************************************ - Invention cubiste sous le nom de "papiers collés" puis photomontage dadaïste, le collage est présent aussi au cinéma. Il est lié à la notion de détournement. La figure de Gil J. Wolman en est l'exemple. Co-rédacteur avec Guy Debord, en 1956, du texte fondateur sur le détournement, il pratique le collage sous la forme de "l'art scotch". L'essai documentaire et d'animation d'Alain Jaubert "La Disparition" démontre que les tyrans ont toujours détourné les archives photographiques pour réécrire l'histoire. - On trouve aussi le collage dans un cinéma d'animation expérimental très proche de l'affiche polonaise. Le cinéaste Zbigniew Rybczinski découpe l'image en filtres de couleur tel un livre à dessiner pour enfants. Dans le film "Katar" du cinéaste d'animation polonais Hieronim Neumann, c'est le principe du découpage qui est mis en avant. David Matarasso découpe des bouts de pellicules pour les assembler figurativement en mosaïque sur une, pellicule 35mm avant de la refilmer en 16mm au banc-titre. Le belge Yoann Stehr assemble des bouts de génériques pour servir un propos critique. Inspiré par l'univers de David Lynch, l'anglais Kiron Hussain assemble différentes images filmées et peintes. La séance s'achèvera par l'avant première du nouveau film du cinéaste croate Dalibor Baric découvert l'an, dernier au festival des cinémas différents. Hommage sincère à "La Jetée" de Chris Marker, tout en étant une variation du "Vampyr" de Dreyer, il reprend l'imagerie des films de science-fiction américains durant la guerre froide. - - Séance programmée et présentée par Yves-Marie Mahé, vidéaste et programmateur indépendant. -------------------------- WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2013 -------------------------- 10/2 Boston, MA: MassART FILM SOCIETY 8pm, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, 621 Huntington Avenue MASSART FILM SOCIETY PRESENTS: CECILIA DOUGHERTY PROGRAM: - THE FOURTH SPACE, 2010, 30:00, 4-channel installation, with MOVING PARTS, a 6-channel sound installation by Aleksei R. Stevens - The Fourth Space is based in interests I had in architecture and space in general, and comes out of an earlier practice of taking pictures wherever I went. Spaces in the video include Marcel Breuer's Armstorong-Piretti Tire Building and the Roche-Dineloo Knights of Columbus tower, buildings in Chicago's Loop, San Miguel de Allende in Central Mexico -- Juan's Cafe, the Oratorio, the Instituto Allende, the Biblioteca, streets, traffic, and Mexico's famous green taxis\; on Dean Street, under demolition in Brooklyn\; the split tower at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus\; the Alps surrounding the village of Saas-Fee, Switzerland. Included are beds slept in, tables worked at, ceiling fans stared up at, chairs and couches sat on, cats petted, windows looked out from, garden paths walked, planes flown in, mountains crossed, oceans swam in. Altogether, the record of a year of taking note of location. - GONE, 2001, 36:42, 2-channel installation - GONE is a 2-channel installation based on episode no.2 of producer Craig Gilbert's An American Family, the landmark 1970s Public Television cinema verite documentary about the Loud Family of Santa Barbara, California. The second episode of the series follows mother Pat Loud's arrival in New York, where she spends the week with her son Lance, who is living at the Chelsea Hotel. Much of the dialogue in Gone is based on the actual dialogue in the original series. - Starring Laurie Weeks, Amy Sillman, Frances Sorensen, Mike Iveson, Lia Gangitano, Lori E. Seid, Susan O'Brien, and Joe Westmoreland. Dance performance by Jennifer Monson. - With music by Johanna Fateman, Le Tigre, and Mike Iveson ------------------------- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2013 ------------------------- 10/3 Chicago, Illinois: Conversations at the Edge http://www.saic.edu/cate 6:00 pm, Gene Siskel Film Center / 164 N.

Alvarado St. (at Sunset) SHIREEN SENO'S BIG BOY $5 / "There is a silent violence at the heart of every Filipino, but that from which possibilities can emerge. Big Boy is a meditation on a history of violencenot just in war and colonization but also in creation, in coming into being. It is a questioning of the tight-knit family unit which the Philippines is synonymous with, and how this myth of family might parallel the myth of a nation. The preoccupation with height and outward appearance, the belief in a better life elsewhere, these are some of the myths of growth and progress that are present in the Philippines until today. The film will present an alternative history or rather, a collision of histories that uncover the persistence of, yet ultimate mayhem, that is memory." Shireen Seno was born to a Filipino family in Japan, where she spent most of her childhood. She graduated from the University of Toronto with a B.A. in Architectural studies and Cinema studies. Shireen started out in film shooting stills for Lav Diaz and John Torres before going on to direct her debut feature, Big Boy, which premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2013 and went on to screen at Jeonju International Film Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, as the opening film of Hors Pistes Tokyo, organized by the Centre Pompidou, and in competition at T-Mobile New Horizons International Film Festival. It won the prize for Best First Film at the Festival de Cine Lima Independiente. Big Boy (2012) 89 minutes, Super 8 on BluRay.
