FILMMOBILE PRESENTS: FILM FARM 20TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW
For 20 years The Independent Imaging Retreat or `Film Farm' has been
developing a hands-on, artisanal approach to filmmaking that is far
removed from the costly, hierarchical and inaccessible industrial model.
Each summer it brings to Mount Forest Ontario a small group of
interested filmmakers some novices and some highly experienced for
an intensive week of shooting, hand-processing, tinting/toning, watching
and editing film -- most of the action taking place in and around an old
barn on the Normanby Township property, in rural Ontario. The Film Farm
L.A. 20th Anniversary Show includes early and recent films (16mm and
digital), and concentrates its light on those `film farmers' who have
graced the west coast scene with their exquisite, playful and committed
works on celluloid. As such we will be screening such works as Helen
Hill's sweet present to husband Paul, Your New Pig is Down the Road
(1999), Trixy Sweetvittles infamously camp Mermaids and Pickles (1999)
and Maia Cybelle Carpenter's sensitive study of women at work at the
`Film Farm', Working Portraits(2005). The program also contains
wonderfully diverse works by Chris Chong, Clint Enns, Lisa Marr, Pouyan
Jafarizadeh, Deirdre Logue, John Porter, Brenda Longfellow, Lillah Halla
and Jennifer Reeves. Philip Hoffman FREE EVENT! PHIL HOFFMAN AND FILM

Austin, TX: Experimental Response Cinema

8:00pm, grayDUCK Gallery, 2213 E. Cesar Chavez Street
MANN ON THE STREET: VIDEOS BY ANDY MANN
$5-$10 Sliding Scale - The Street Tapes of Andy Mann are a snapshot of
the the early life of video. Their spontaneity and prodding exploration
of quotidian life reflect the eagerness that early video practitioners
brought to the medium. Mann was among the first groups of video
collectives in the early Seventies, and continued making videotapes
until shortly before his death in 2001. This program will present
several of Mann's most vital contributions to early video and the Street
Tape Genre. Presented by Experimental Response Cinema and grayDUCK
Gallery. Curated and presented by Jarrett Hayman. Special thanks to the
Aurora Picture Show. - "There is no question that Andy Mann was one of
the seminal figures in the early video scene, in particular for his
remarkable "street tapes" which continued and amplified a tradition in
film history marked by such works as Helen Leavitt's In the Street."
â Gene Youngblood - "The late media artist Andy
Mann (1947-2001) was born in Manhattan, grew up in Yonkers, and, as an
alternative to completing a high school term paper on Ayn Rand, joined
the Navy in 1965. During his time in the Navy, he worked on several
submarines as a sonar technician, which introduced him to electronics
and a different way of looking at video. Mann described the images as
being "like watching a kind of abstract television," and credits his
technical training as his introduction to good camerawork. - In 1969
Mann moved to Manhattan and began attending NYU, where he quickly became
associated with several historic video collectives such as Global
Village, Raindance, Perception, Videofreex, and TVTV (Top Value
Television), as well as a contributor to the video art magazine Radical
Software, founded in 1970. Mann also acted as video documentarian for
performances by artists Hannah Wilke and Chris Burden, and interviewed
subjects such as Phil Ochs, Mark Lombardi, and Fennie Shakur. -
Recognized for his groundbreaking camerawork, Mann was one of the
earlier artists in the US to receive grant funds from the National
Endowment for the Arts to produce video art (1975 and 1978). His videos
were included in the 1973 and 1975 Whitney Biennials at The Whitney
Museum of American Art\; the 1973 Sao Paulo Bienal\; the 1977 Documenta
VI, Kassell, Germany\; as well as exhibitions at the Walker Art Center\;
Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art\; and Leo Castelli Gallery. Mann
moved to Houston in the 1980s and began working in video installation
and public sculpture. He was a producer for Access Houston cable since
its 1987 inception, hosting a hybrid live video art program/talk show.
Mann continued to produce videotapes until a few weeks before his death
in 2001." - via andreagrover.com - Details:
