8 pm, 1200 N. Alvarado St.
THE FORGETTING OF OBJECTS AND TIDES
The Forgetting of Objects is a portrayal of the in-between time and
space at the filmmaker Daphne Rosenthal's set. Tiny touches, discoveries
through the lens and the natural sounds of the room. It's a play between
the filmmaker as a performer and the lives the materials desire to have.
Rosenthal will also screen her short Him and Heran animation that sheds
light on the isolation of both man and woman in a scene from The Man Who
Knew Too Much (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956). Bertha Aguilar's Tides is a
documentary exploring a hidden geography of Los Angeles through the
sites in which three foreign and politically committed artists, Sergei
Eisenstein, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Carlos Bulosan, worked and lived
during the the decade of the 30's. FILMMAKERS IN ATTENDANCE!

7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue
SHOW & TELL: SICKFUCKPEOPLE
Juri Rechinsky SICKFUCKPEOPLE 2013, 75 min, digital video. In Russian
and Ukrainian with English subtitles. The first feature-length film by
Ukrainian documentary filmmaker Juri Rechinsky, SICKFUCKPEOPLE is a
shattering, immensely powerful portrait of a group of homeless,
drug-addicted street kids, whom Rechinsky found sheltering together in a
squalid Odessa cellar, apparently left to their own devices by their
families and society alike. Taking the form of a triptych, the film
follows the path of two of these young men (as well as an equally tragic
young woman who becomes involved with one of them) over the course of a
couple years, chronicling their attempts to salvage their lives as they
emerge into adulthood. But the legacy of their drug addiction both in
terms of their identities and their physical health forms a nearly
insurmountable obstacle: documenting their interactions with their
families and neighbors, SICKFUCKPEOPLE paints a portrait of a society,
suffused with hatred and brutality, that refuses to give a second chance
to those who inhabit its margins. Turning an unflinching gaze on a
reality we'd prefer not to confront, Rechinsky invests his film with a
profound affection for his struggling protagonists.

married a founder of Lordville but was unable to inherit their property.

geography and problematic exchanges between Native American and settler
communities. The film approaches a historiography based on the reading
of environment and its interconnectedness to culture.

Oakland: Shapeshifters Cinema
http://shapeshifterscinema.com/
8-9PM, Temescal Art Center, 511 48th St. Oakland, CA
SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS TOOTH
tooth is an Oakland-based artist that works in film, sound, performance
and other time-based disciplines. His solo performance work (under the
rubric of the project ARC) primarily concerns itself with the
phenomenology of trance states and their function within a collision of
cultural, political and personal realities. Framing the cinematic space
of happening as an impermanent sphere of ritual and sensory research in
which the apparatus and methods (celluloid projection, the movement of
bodies through a room, human breath, chance occurrence, repetition,
sustain, etc.) for manipulating elements (light, air) are considered
less for their individual objective functions than their innumerable and
unpredictable subjective reconfigurations in the perception of any given
observer/participant.
