Baltimore: Hand-Eye Coordinates

9:00PM, Artscape - Baltimore Alternative Art Fair - 1714 N. Charles St.
HAND-EYE COORDINATES: SABRINA RATTE
Hand-Eye Coordinates, a new mini-series of experimental animation in
Baltimore co-programmed by Kate Ewald & James Ford, presents a
retrospective screening of works by Montreal-based artist Sabrina Ratté.
Ratté's video work explores the possibilities of mixing together a
diverse array of tools and techniques in order to create virtual
environments where architecture and landscapes fall into abstraction.
Her work is also inspired by the relationship between electronic music
and the video image, and she often collaborates with musicians for
finished pieces as well as in live settings. Parallel to her solo work,
Ratté is the visual part of Le Révélateur, with the electronic music
composer Roger Tellier-Craig. FREE!

TITO & TITA SHORT FILMS
Tito & Tita, a collective of young artists [in the Philippines] working
mainly with film and photography, employ an array of spatial,
architectural and cinematographic elements while working in the spirit
of an "occupy-discuss-produce-present" process. Featured in various film
festivals and art fairs, including the International Film Festival
Rotterdam, the museum of the moving Image, and Documenta in Kassel,
these artists are redefining independent cinema and photography via an
enthralling transformation of images and disarming practicality, amidst
all the symbolism, surrealism, and a variation of experimental
techniques all the while exploring the personal and intimate, blending
technology, form and content." (The Manila Review) This screening will
feature selected short works made by filmmakers in the collective,
curated by Miko Revereza.

Versailles is pleased to have artist Roshanak Elmendorf share with us
her animation and drawings for a day-long exhibition. Roshanak Elmendorf
was born in Tehran, Iran. In 1977 she came to the United States to
pursue a career in science. Influenced by the social changes in Iran,
she returned to the country in 1979. More than a decade after obtaining
a medical degree from New York University in 1993, she developed an
interest in painting and drawing. In 2005 she started her studies at art
studio classes in New York and New Jersey. Searching for a juncture
between poetry and art led her to the discovery of experimental film and
moving image that would incorporate drawings, paintings, photography and
film. She uses a combination of analog and digital animation, video
processing and sound design to intervene with the source images. PROGRAM
NOTES: BLACK 16mm, B/W and color, 11:07 min. Made entirely using 16mm
found footage imagery. The movie reflects my observations of the
political and cultural turmoil after the 1979 revolution in Iran along
with my present experiences of everyday life abroad. Through a visual
metaphor, the film offers a glimpse into the complex social, religious
and political realities that influenced the nation and mandated our
identities in a different direction. The entire film employs direct
animation on the found film footage to explore the inner sentiments of a
young woman caught in the midst of social and political change. The
direct scratches and lines along with the cinematic sequences reinforce
the film message of bewilderment surrounding the progression of events
at that time. MY SHADOW IS FOLLOWING ME . . . 16mm film/Video/animation
to Video, Color, 10:32 min. A woman covered in a black veil walking
alone. Her shadow always follows her in close proximity. Uncomfortable
with the fact that she is always being followed, the woman is both
envious and resentful toward this entity that knows no distress and
follows her weightlessly and flawlessly, gliding over all obstacles and
boundaries. On the other hand, her shadow, in its duality, represents
the part of her being that contains and confines all inherited fears and
superstitions. When through a glance, she cannot find her shadow, she
thinks she is free at last... only to realize that the old bondage is
not so easily abandoned. She feels naked without her shadow. She
desperately searches for it only to realize that she is the shadow
THE
HOUSE 16 mm, B/W and color, 3:00 min. A conversation between two
entities that have come apart through time. Both the house and the
little girl who once lived there express their reservations and
concerns. The house: afraid of the inevitable decay and destruction. And
the girl (not little anymore): afraid of reuniting with old memories and
taboos. They both try to reach the illusory, but she doesn't know that

BRUCE CHECEFSKY: REMAKING THE UNSEEN
Filmforum is delighted to welcome Cleveland-based artist Bruce Checefsky
for a screening of all of his films to date in his ongoing project of
remaking unseen films. Bruce Checefsky is a photographer and Director of
the Reinberger Galleries at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Checefsky
has carved out a unique niche for himself by reimagining and making
abstract and avant-garde Eastern European shorts from the 1920s to the
1940s that were either lost, destroyed, or conceived/scripted but never
filmed. Checefsky's completion of a new movie, Witch's Cradle (2014),
affords us an opportunity to show all eight of his visually dazzling
short films in one comprehensive program. Witch's Cradle reimagines an
unfinished, now lost 1943 short by pioneering experimental filmmaker
Maya Deren (Meshes of the Afternoon). Also showing: Pharmacy (2001), A
Woman and Circles (2003), IN NI (Others) (2005), Moment Musical (2006),
Béla (2010), and more.

THE COTABATO SESSIONS
"The Cotabato Sessions is a full length music album and 30 minute short
music film that features the music legacy of one family, the
Kalanduyans, in Cotabato City, Mindanao, Philippines. It was a rare
moment to be able to get together these generations of musicians in the
family. The Kalanduyans are part of a minority Islamic tribe, the
Maguindanaons in the Philippines who have been entirely relocated to
Cotabato City and elsewhere after many decades of civil unrest in the
south. This album and film capture the generations of men, women, and
youth performing ritual music and its variations in the home of master
artist Danongan Kalanduyan, in a procession, in the courtyard of a
mosque and in the recording session of a concert hall." Susie Ibarra, a
composer, performer and professor in music and advancement in public
action at Bennington College and a TED 2014 Senior Fellow.
