PROVIDENCE & FRIENDS AT UNIONDOCS
Magic Lantern presents Providence & Friends, a broad sampling of recent New
England film, video & multimedia performance. This past summer, Magic Lantern
put out a call for its first submission-based program. They were interested in
seeing contemporary work by local artists in the vicinity of Providence,
Boston, and New Haven, and in bringing this work to the attention of others in
a timely celebration of regional filmmaking. All of the artists featured in
Providence & Friends are, or were until very recently, based in the area.
Providence & Friends ranges from small, unpretentious 8mm love letters to the
most advanced digital manipulations, from beautiful abstractions to politicized
travelogues, and from the finished form of recorded media to the contingencies
of live performance. Its scope is as big as Providence is small. Featuring
works by Sarah Abu Abdallah, Alexander Dupuis, Dave Fischer, Tara & Gordon
Nelson, Mariya Nikiforova, Adrian Randall, Deirde Sargent, Asha
Tamirisa, Derek Taylor, Arvid Tomayko-Peters, Matthew Underwood, Freddie Wiss.

THE VANQUISHING OF THE WITCH BABA YAGA
Following fairy-tales and personal memories like a trail of breadcrumbs, The
Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga descends into Eastern Europe's haunted
woodlands to uncover the secrets and bloody histories that shape our
understanding of man's place in nature. Programmed by Tommy Swenson. "In her
singular assemblage of disparate aesthetic strands, and her radical disregard
for conventional modes of storytelling, Oreck may most fully embody another,
far more exciting interpretation of the label of a new director or a new film,
that of fresh filmmaker creating an altogether new kind of art." - Jordan
Cronk, Fandor The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga by Jessica Oreck 73 min /
digital / sound / 2014 Within a dense forest there lingers a sense of sinister
foreboding, remnants of a nearly forgotten story, where the fairy tales of
childhood persist within the subconscious. For generations of Slavic peoples,
this fear manifested itself in the form of the mythical witch Baba Yaga -
to roam too near her hut perched on chicken legs was to risk being roasted for
her dinner. In spite of this culturally ingrained dread, the turbulance of war,
famine, and destruction that stain the pages of Eastern European history led to
the witch's figurative vanquishing. Refugees fled to her woods for shelter,
nourishment and sanctuary, and in so doing, reshaped an entire culture's
perception of nature. This transition was slow and unconcious, and is best told
through the stories of the region - the memories of those who experienced
periods of warfare first-hand as well as the recollections that have passed
generation to generation. To bring these stories to life, we have merged
countless accounts into a single, unified narrative - an animated fairy tale
that gathers history, folklore, and memory into one. This fairy tale is
intertwined with an anthropological exploration of modern day, post-conflict
Eastern Europe. Combining these elements, The Vanquishing is about more
than a single moment in history. It is about the accumulation of history, the
accumulation of repetitive action, the retelling of stories retold, the
retention of belief, and the unconscious osmosis of ideas. It is a study of
collective memory and the sociology of fear, imagination and survival.

BELLA VISTA
Vera Brunner-Sung (“Common Ground” – screened at Filmforum in 2009) returns to
Filmforum with her first feature film, Bella Vista, shot in her new home state,
Montana. A quiet portrait of a peripatetic schoolteacher and her newest flock
of energetic students, Brunner-Sung finds the cinematic connections between
internal emotions and external landscapes, where loneliness and Big Sky country
feed each other, and how other people can disrupt a life’s course. Tickets: $10
general admission; $6 students (with ID)/seniors; free for Filmforum members.
Tickets available in advance at

WIE MAN SIEHT (AS YOU SEE) IN MEMORY OF FILMMAKER HARUN FAROCKI SCREENING 2:
ERKENNEN UND VERFOLGEN (WAR AT A DISTANCE) AND NICHT LöSCHBARES FEUER
(INEXTINGUISHABLE FIRE)
Harun Farocki – the director whose perspicacious cinematic essays analyzed the
new media world – died in July 2014. With his radical way of looking at things
Farocki strove to endow images with their own form of self-will, to expose
their political and cultural coding. Farocki lived and worked in Berlin as a
filmmaker, artist and writer. His essay and observational films question the
production and perception of images, decoding film as a medium and examining
how audiovisual culture is related to history, politics, technology and war.
Tonight: Erkennen und Verfolgen (War at a Distance) (2003, 58 min. color and
b/w. German with English subtitles, Digital.) and Nicht löschbares Feuer
(Inextinguishable Fire) (1969, 25 min., B/W, German with English subtitles,

Screening of a selection of films made by this craftsman filmmaker specializing
in analog film, super 8 and 16 mm. Depictions of everyday scenes, psychedelic
animations, stop motion figurative elements reminiscent of Pop Art and
evocative portraits of queer influence are some of the features of a personal
world surprisingly attractive.

DAVID LEVINE : DOWN AND OUT IN SAN FRANCISCO AND ANTARCTICA AT UNIONDOCS
In this presentation, David Levine will discuss how a 2004 trip to Berlin's
Volksbuehne led him to conspiracy theories about the transformation of
performance into spectatorship, spectatorship into surveillance, and
surveillance into transcendence. David Levine is an artist living in New York
and Berlin. His work incorporates video, photography, performance, and theater,
and has been seen at MoMA, Mass MOCA, and KW Institute for Contemporary Art
(Berlin). His work has been featured in Artforum, Frieze, and the New York
Times, and his writing has appeared in Parkett, Mousse, and Cabinet. He
recently directed an opera about the pop group Milli Vanilli. What You Get Is
What You See: A Series on Spectatorship What hides behind simple gestures of
attending? In this series, UnionDocs invites artists and writers to show us how
to become more active, more engaged-and perhaps better-spectators. The speakers
share their experiences and personal observations as viewers, readers,
watchers, listeners and audience members of visual, video and performance arts,
graphic design, radio, TV and cinema. Through their trained gaze and skilled
sensitivity, they disturb and displace our perception of contemporary culture
and expose spectatorship as an everyday dynamic act. A series curated by
Mathilde Walker-Billaud.

CONDITIONS UNCERTAIN AND UNLIKELY TO PASS: RECENT WORK BY BEN BALCOM
Ben Balcom's work in film, video, and digital-film hybrids investigates rather
ordinary objects through a lens of speculative realism. A Symptom; 6.5 minutes,
16mm/digital, 2014. A mirrored discourse. The object we see is the object
wanting enumeration, but it is never said quite right. We are looking at speech
from both sides of the mirror, listening to the wretch who elaborates upon the
grid of desire. Ceol (Ruinsong); 5 minutes, 16mm/digital, 2014. There, the
ruins of a castle at the far edges of the land. The birdsong you hear mimics
the sound of the river, and the human voice mimics the song of the bird. This
is a failed historical gesture sung in the playful, wild mimetic gesture.
Celestial Object; 11.5 minutes, 16mm/digital, 2014. Here are the playful
recordings of a naturalist; the observations of a difficult object. As the
study accelerates and numerous strategies are employed, the information
gathered becomes noise; the measurements become scribbles. Digital
Actualities; 6 minutes, 16mm/digital, 2012. These are actualities culled from
the network: two instances of falling, two different registrations of time.
These images mark the oneiric margins of the archive. The re- inscription of
the digital to analog to digital, conflate the actual and the virtual,
producing uncanny fluctuations. Reginald; 8 minutes, digital, 2012. Numerous
sprouting trajectories give rise to the fabric of Reginald’s body. What we are
left with are abstract shells that function as reminders of domestic spaces.
These are virtual spaces, out of which threads of narrative arise. The figures
form a supple machinery. Look at them dance and at the objects which adorn
them. array; 7.5 minutes, digital, 2013. Wandering through the city, wondering
about the potentialities of space. Wishing and wanting a full experience of the
virtual. These thoughts are rooted to spaces on the outskirts that have been
rendered without detail. Listen to the code. An indecipherable
alphabet floods the brain. “Space” is really a bad metaphor for the Internet.
animal bone ash; 10, digital, 2013. Here we have a list of animal fragments
invoking the strange materiality of distended information.
[deterritorialization]; 2.5, digital, 2013. The body is strata. The strata need
to be rent apart and then slipt between. The landscape and the mechanism
shatter, and the data from both conjoin in spiral formations. Look, the sun is
shining overhead. [phrases];4.5, digital, 2013. Voices heard during sleep tell
the story of the body struggling to form. This body syncopates with the pulsing
network of insects. This archive of night is inscribed on the blank page of the
body. I can hear the voices speaking even now. Turning a Sphere Inside Out; 2,
digital, 2014. This is how you turn a sphere inside out. primitive; 15.5 min,
16mm, 2012. These fragments describe the tension between primordial perception
and the tendency, towards distinction. Every physical thing shimmers
with intensity. The earth shivers in repose. Form is embedded in the pathways
connecting the palm of the hand to the branches of the tree.

7 PM, 226 Green Street
MARK STREET'S (RE) TAKING OF PELHAM, 1, 2, 3 (X3)
With a live score performance from Bradford Reed and Geoff Gersh, this video &
sound performance involves the side by side projection of three narrative films
of the same title (made in 1974, 1998 and 2009). During the performance the
sound will be mixed from each of the three films so that details are brought to
the fore from each of the narratives. Live musicians improvise to the film(s)
and mixed sound. Screened and compared in real time as a triptych, the original
thriller and its two remakes reflect varying sorts of cultural anxieties, and
views of the city. Walter Matthau’s (1974) hero is long suffering and wry in
the face of a city covered in graffiti, while Denzel Washington (2009) inhabits
a slick and sanitized metropolis.

FILMS FOR ONE TO EIGHT PROJECTORS: ROGER BEEBE IN PERSON
Filmmaker/curator/ professor Roger Beebe returns to Austin in January 2015 with
a touring program of his multiple-projector performances that takes him to
three corners of North America with an additional stop off in the Antipodes
(Australia/New Zealand). The tour features several of his best-known projector
performances (including the six-projector show-stopping space jam Last Light of
a Dying Star) alongside recent award-winning work in single-channel HD video as
well as the premiere of his latest multi-projector mayhem, SOUND FILM. These
works take on a range of topics from the forbidden pleasures of men crying
(Historia Calamitatum (The Story of My Misfortunes)) and the secret logic of
the book of Genesis ("Beginnings") to Las Vegas suicides (Money Changes
Everything) and companies jockeying to be at the start of the phone book (AAAAA
Motion Picture). "[Beebe's films] implicitly and explicitly evoke the work of
Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander, all
photographers of the atomic age whose Western photographs captured the
banalities, cruelties and beauties of imperial America." -David Fellerath, The
Independent Weekly "Beebe's films are both erudite and punk, lo-fi yet
high-brow shorts that wrestle with a disfigured, contemporary American
landscape." -Wyatt Williams, Creative Loafing (Atlanta)
