ARKOFF DOUBLE FEATURE Reptilicus, Sidney W. Pink, digital projection, 1961, 82 mins, Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine, Norman Taurog, digital projection, 1965, 88 mins - Empire Drive-In, New York Hall of Science, 47-01 111th Street, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens - www.empiredrivein.com - Light Industry presents a tribute to producer Samuel Z. Arkoff, the low-budget mogul who oversaw the creation of more than 400 movies in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. A founder of American International Pictures, Arkoff made drive-ins the premiere destination for teenagers in search of cheap thrills at a time when Hollywood largely ignored the burgeoning youth market, serving up hundreds of hot rod epics, biker flicks, beach party spectaculars, and monster rampages. Under Arkoff's watch, AIP hired tyro directors like Roger Corman, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese to churn out stuff like A Bucket of Blood, Dementia 13, and Boxcar Bertha. - "These were pictures intended to be watched on forty-foot high, drive-in screens through steamed-up windshields, and heard through tinny car speakers over the sound of crunching, buttered popcorn," Arkoff wrote in his memoir Flying Through Hollywood by the Seat of my Pants, noting how he sought to make "films to appeal to kids who have wheels." He claimed the secret to his success was the "Arkoff formula," making sure every film he produced contained - Action! - Revolution! - Killing! - Oratory! - Fantasy! and - Fornication! - For our Arkoff double-bill, Light Industry presents two very different sci-fi epics. A Godzilla knockoff made on the cheap in Denmark, Reptilicus stars a gigantic prehistoric reptile, awakened by industrial activity, that begins to attack Copenhagen. Impervious to bombs, flamethrowers, and tanks, Reptilicus tosses aside armies as the street of the city become clogged by throngs of screaming, terrified Danes. Kicking off with a swinging theme song performed by The Supremes over an animated title sequence by Gumby creator Art Clokey, Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine features a scenery-chewing Vincent Price. Here, Price plays the nefarious Dr. Goldfoot, creator of an army of sexy, bikini-clad robots who are programmed to seduce rich men and steal their money. Goldfoot spoofs the then-popular James Bond series and, in a self-referential twist, Arkoff's own beach party and horror titles. "THIS is a bikini machine!" screamed Arkoff's poster for the film, pointing to a babe in a golden two-piece "All New Parts! Tested, Approved and ready to GO-GO-GO!" - Doors at 6 pm, films at 7 pm. - Tickets - $15, $10 for NYSCI members. 10/6 Los Angeles, California: Filmforum http://www.lafilmforum.org/ 7:00pm, Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd. LOS ANGELES FILMFORUM PRESENTS "THE SKIN I'M IN" - LOS ANGELES PREMIERE!

Reviled, rioted over and banned as pornographic even as it was recognized by many as an unprecedented visionary masterpiece, Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures (1963), tonight shown in beautifully restored 16mm print, is one of the most important and influential underground movies ever released in America. In Flaming Creatures, entangle on the floor, and it's difficult to distinguish one delirious being from another.

Program Curated by Martha Kirszenbaum and B�r�nice Reynaud In conversation with the joint exhibitions La Fin de la Nuit at Palais de Tokyo in Paris and The End of the Night at LACE in Los Angeles, this panel discussion on the controversial French auteur Henri-Georges Clouzot and his contribution to the aesthetics of the 1960s centers around a screening of his intriguing film, La V�rit� (1960 Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Language Film). A showcase for the alluring physical presence of the biggest French star of the time, Brigitte Bardot�who transforms from pouting sex kitten to grand tragedienne�La V�rit� is loosely inspired by a notorious "crime of passion" case. With his stern and masterful direction of Bardot, Clouzot creates another unforgettable, yet contradictory, sexual icon for the Swinging Sixties. Jack H. Skirball Series. $10.00 [members $8.00] In person: Martha Kirszenbaum, B�r�nice Reynaud, Janet Bergstrom, William E. Jones, and Christine Wertheim 10/12 San Francisco, California: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ 8:30, 992 Valencia St. ACKERMAN�S WIDELY UNKNOWN + DANIEL + SWOON + ENGLISH + Behind-the-scenes NYC "break-through" of the now-famous Mission School movement, Josh Ackerman's hr-long doc chronicles that historic Deitch Gallery exhibition acknowledging the tragic death of Margaret Kilgallen. Composed of installation views, opening scenes, and thoughtful interviews with Barry (Twist) McGee, Chris Johanson, Clare Rojas, and Alicia McCarthy, this seminal material, mostly shot by Josh's artist-father, Ralph (with help from Vanessa Renwick), took years to finally gel, after Ralph's own untimely death. Tonight Bill Daniel appears in person (with McGee and McCarthy tentatively slated) to personalize our regional aesthetic. PLUS cameos of other street artists, including Swoon, Futura, Doze Green, and Ron English. mission school 10/12 Tucson : EXPLODED VIEW gallery/microcinema http://explodedviewgallery.org 7:30, 197 E Toole Ave OUR NIXON with Q & A with producer Brian Frye via Skype Exploded View is proud to present the Tucson premiere of the raved about new documentary by Penny Lane and Brian Frye, OUR NIXON. Throughout Richard Nixon's presidency, three of his top White House aides obsessively documented their experiences with Super-8 home movie cameras. Young, idealistic and dedicated, they had no idea that a few years later they'd all be in prison. OUR NIXON is an all-archival documentary presenting those home movies for the first time, along with other rare footage, creating an intimate and complex portrait of the Nixon presidency as never seen before. ------------------------ SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2013 ------------------------ 10/13 Oakland: Shapeshifters Cinema http://shapeshifterscinema.com/ 8PM - 9PM, Temescal Art Center, 511 48th St. Oakland, CA SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS CRAIG BALDWIN Craig Baldwin is a filmmaker, curator and educator whose interests lie in archival retrieval and recombinatory forms of cinema, performance, and installation. Baldwin's suite of live-cinema pieces will employ/deploy an array of 16mm projectors, putting into play the accidental synchronicites of archival/found picture and sound towards an exploration of the fleeting, ephemeral, and ambivalent poetry of representation and reality. 10/13 Paris, France: KinoClub 7:30pm, 72 rue riquet KINOCLUB SPÉCIAL FOUND FOOTAGE « Ã⬠partir d'un moment, je me suis rendu compte que j'aimais tant les films que je voulais qu'ils m'appartiennent. » Quentin Tarantino - C'est encore une édition spéciale que le KinoClub vous à mijoté pour ce dimanche 13 octobre ! - Cette programmation prend place dans le 15ème festival des cinémas différents et expérimentaux de Paris, organisé depuis 1999 par le Collectif Jeune Cinéma (http://www.cjcinema.org/) - Le found footage que défendra le Kino Club dans cette séance exceptionnelle au Shakirail voudrait témoigner de la richesse critique, formelle et plastique de cet artisanat finalement mal représenté et mal défendu. - Du cinéma de fiction au cinéma expérimental, le found footage est un sous-genre représentatif de nos sociétés actuelles que les évènements du World Trade Center sont venus d'une certaine manière exploser ! Ses pratiques peuvent être tour à tour associés au « remixage » (écho musical), au « recyclage » (écho écolo), au « remploi » (écho économique). - Les films de found footage montrés au Shakirail participent donc d'une sélection - « insurrective » qui, je l'espère, rendra visible un sous-genre expérimental bien plus passionnant et subversif qu'on nous a laissé paraître jusqu'ici.
