San Francisco, California: Other Cinema

8:30pm, 992 Valencia Street
IRENE LUSZTIG'S MOTHERHOOD ARCHIVES
Opening our SisPics couplet is the world premiere of The Motherhood
Archives, personally introduced by UCSC maker Irene Lusztig. Her
meticulous feature compendium of mid-century material certainly
represents the most comprehensive collection of childbirth films in the
history of cinema! Culling from film libraries around the world, Lusztig
deftly deconstructs these incredible discoveries to foreground the
contending ideologies of their various time-periods. Honoring the
critical importance of archival resources, a percentage of our proceeds
goes to SF's own Internet Archives, with Rick Prelinger here to report
on reconstruction after their recent fire. $7-20 donation.

LA UNDERGROUND #1 -RECENT WORK FROM ECHO PARK FILM CENTER
Filmmaker / Curator Rick Bahto in person! Drawing on works made by
artists-in-residence and students at our sister microcinema, the Echo
Park Film Center, this program is based around the intersection of film
and music in Los Angeles, from pop to experimental, noise to hip hop.
These works, projected in 8mm, Super 8, 16mm and video, offer a unique
insight into an alternative film culture being cultivated by the
community and passionate engagement of this LA grassroots organization.
Includes Eve La Fountain's 16mm. trilogy Smudge Series and Sharmaine
Stark's Imma Hustle Girl, a film about women in the underground West
Coast Hip-Hop scene.

Oakland: Shapeshifters Cinema
http://shapeshifterscinema.com/
9:30PM, 511 48th St. Oakland
SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS GREG POPE
Norwary-based, veteran film performance artist Greg Pope will make a
special appearance for Shapeshifters while in town on a small Bay Area
tour, including stops at Stanford and SF Cinematheque. For
Shapeshifters, Greg will be performing two pieces: SCORELINE, a solo
film-sound performance that explores the processes of construction and
destruction using a 16mm projector, black film, engraving tools and
contact mics and TRANSPARENT STAVANGER, a live projection performance
made with 160 photographic slides, two slide projectors and a twin
shutter mechanism that suggests movement to the images while they
overlap and flicker, echoing early proto-cinematic experiments using
magic lantern technology. Performing with Pope is Bay Area based
experimental electroacoustic improv duo Voicehandler (Jacob Felix Heule
& Danishta Rivero).

New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
7:30 pm , 32 2nd Ave.
MOTION(LESS) PICTURES PROGRAM 6
This screening is part of: MOTION(LESS) PICTURES Film Notes Hollis
Frampton HAPAX LEGOMENA I: (nostalgia) 1971, 36 min, 16mm, b&w.
Preserved by Anthology Film Archives. "The time it takes for a
photograph to burn (and thus confirm its two-dimensionality) becomes the
clock within the film, while Frampton plays the critic, asynchronously
glossing, explicating, narrating, mythologizing his earlier art, and his
earlier life, as he commits them both to the fire of a labyrinthine
structure." P. Adams Sitney Nancy Holt UNDERSCAN 1974, 9.5 min,
digital, b&w Holt presents her Aunt Ethel's home in New Bedford, MA, by
means of still images and excerpts from letters to the artist from her
aunt. Holt pays particular attention to her aunt's poignant story of
aging, altering the images by 'underscanning' them, building an
intrinsic limitation into the tape: the compression of time and personal
history represented by the images and narrative. Lynda Benglis DOCUMENT
1972, 6 min, digital, b&w With Benglis standing in front of a photograph
of herself, which is then affixed to a monitor bearing her image, the
notion of 'original' is complicated, making the viewer acutely aware of
the layers of self-images and layers of 'self' that are simultaneously
presented. Total running time: ca. 60 min.

New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
7:30 pm, 32 2nd Ave.
MOTION(LESS) PICTURES PROGRAM 7
These films subject their found images whether postcards (Sonbert and
Fruhauf), ViewMaster cells (Cossman), or stereographic photos (Stark and
Jacobs) to rapid editing, juxtapositions, or other manipulations that
bring the films near to animation or otherwise transform the original
images in ways that expand our perception and blur the line between
stillness and motion. Jeff Scher POSTCARDS FROM WARREN (1998, 3 min,
16mm) Siegfried A. Fruhauf MOUNTAIN TRIP / HOEHENRAUSCH (1999, 4 min,
16mm, b&w) Steve Cossman TUSSLEMUSCLE (2007-09, 4 min, 16mm) Scott Stark

7:30, 197 E Toole Ave
GEORGIOU + MARKER: TIME TRAVEL
Nick Georgiou's 6A is an experimental time-lapse video project.
Mid-process, 6A tells the story of a paper sculptor and his relationship
to the cities he works in (Tucson/NYC). His sculptures are products of
their environment. Whether a piece eventually takes the form of a human,
still life, or animal depends on how he experiences a particular
location. The film explores technological themes along with documenting
the ever-changing natural landscape. REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS TO COME is
one of the last works by master film essayist Chris Marker (1921
2012). Ostensibly a portrait of photographer Denise Bellon,
Rememberance, it focuses on the two decades between 1935 and 1955. The
film leaps and backtracks, Marker-style, from subject to subject, to a
wide-ranging history of the postwar politics and culture of Surrealism,
Paris, French Cinema, and World War II.

projection by Brooklyn based husband-and-wife duo Sarah Halpern and Tim
Geraghty. Curated by Kate Ewald, Lorenzo Gattorna, & Meg Rorison. Doors

Bolinas, California: Roadside Cinema
8:00pm in PST, Farm Stand Art Space, Gospel Flat Farm
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE: FILMS BY JODIE MACK
Filmmaker, songstress, and community builder, Jodie Mack, brings her
post-psychedelic animations to Bolinas to illuminate the inaugural
evening of Roadside Cinema. These stroboscopic eulogies celebrating
the spectrum of abstraction from transcendent visual experiences to
science kit optical fascinations force a proscenium collision of the
arena rock show, the planetarium light performance, and the cinema.

New York, New York: NYU Cinema Studies Department
2 pm, 721 Broadway, 6th Floor, Michelson Theater,
Department of Cinema Studies, NYU Tisch School of the Arts
ANOTHER STORY OF THE WIND, ELLEN ZWEIG IN CHINA
Ellen Zweig traveled around China to discover the stories people tell
about the wind - from classic fables to pop TV, from outer breezes to
inner breaths. Zweig will present her new work along with selections
from an earlier series, HEAP, where a hat can provoke a reminiscence or
a rant, and a trip up a mountain in Yunnan Province turns into a ritual
of longing and loss. About the filmmaker: Ellen Zweig is an artist who
works with video, audio, installation and performance. Her most recent
projects include a series of videos and installations about her attempts
to film the wind in China; and a documentary film about the artist and
musician, Z'EV. For more information: www.ezweig.com

8:30pm, 992 Valencia Street
PUSSY RIOT: A PUNK PRAYER + VOINA + SUKI O'KANE
A watershed report on widening cracks in the Putin regime, Mike Lerner
and Maxim Pozdorovkin's Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer traces the brave
performance-art of those three young women who stood up to the religious
cronyism endemic to the Russian power structure. Opening is the West
Coast unveiling of the half-hour Voina, documentations of the group's
public pranks over the last few years. Come early for the inspired
percussion of local heroine Suki O'Kane, drumming up a fabulous
atmosphere of girrrl power, playful activism, and cheap vodka shots!

7pm, 3041 24th Street San Francisco, CA 94110
BOOKS V. CIGARETTE BURNS: A PROJECTIONIST'S DRAWINGS
San Francisco filmmaker Paul Clipson will present and speak about his
new book REEL, a survey of unique projectionist drawings made over the
course of a decade at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where he
presently works as an audio/visual technician. Released by the
Oakland-based art press LAND AND SEA (Chris Duncan and Maggie Otero),
the book serves as an eccentric cinefile's collection of technical notes
for the ever-more rare art of celluloid filmmaking, projection and
exhibition, as well as an unofficial history of SFMOMA's film
programming from 2000-2013. At a time when the word film no longer
necessarily describes an object either shot, edited or projected on
celluloid, the REEL book drawings chart a delicate, largely unseen
history of film projection on 35mm, with the specialized projector
changeover system and its use of "cigarette burns."The evening will
include a conversation between Clipson and LAND AND SEA, about the
process of collaborating together to produce the book, the process for
why the drawings were created, as well as a screening of a montage of
changeover moments, created for the artist's edition of the book.
