8:30, 992 Valencia
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Especially for Black History Month, the attention of the nation is focused on
the endangered status of African-Americans. Recent events have brought into
sharp relief a de facto second-class citizenship, and a decidedly unhealthy
state of police relations. Addressing these dire issues is this diverse program
of films both old and new: Kelly Gallagher’s Pen Up the Pigs (with Assata
Shakur), Soda_Jerk’s Astro Black (with Sun Ra), Alex Johnston’s Now Again, and
(an excerpt from) James Baldwin’s Hunter’s Point tour, Take this Hammer (1963),
ALSO: original newsreels from Selma, vitalizing verite from Oakland protests,
recent reportage from Ferguson, Mo, and inspiring work from Kevin Jerome
Everson and Cauleen Smith. Come early for Black movie trailers, 70s Soul
musicians, and a fired-up Muhammad Ali.

8pm, 766 Valencia St.
THIS ISLAND EARTH: LIVE SOUND & FILM PERFORMANCE BY ASHLEY BELLOUIN, BEN
BRACKEN AND PAUL CLIPSON
Ashley Bellouin and Ben Bracken make music with both traditional and hand made
instruments that exploit the natural overtones and sympathetic vibrations
generated by highly redundant tuning systems. Minimal structures and simple
harmonic relationships give rise to meditative washes of sound. Each
composition is constructed by considering the personal experience of a physical
site, the materials used in the construction of the instruments, and the
interplay between the two. Their performances are a mixture of the imagined and
real, of natural phenomena, and direct action. Dual 16mm film projection by
Paul Clipson. Part of the THIS ISLAND EARTH exhibition at Incline Gallery which
opens on Friday, February 27 from 6-9pm, and features new works in sculpture,
painting and film/video by Alexander Cheeves, Walter Logue and Paul Clipson.

7:30pm, 322 Union Ave
THE UPRISING WITH PETER SNOWDON AT UNIONDOCS
The Uprising, 2013, Belgium/Great Britain, 79 mins. The Uprising is based, not
on a naive belief in the power of spontaneous rebellion to usher in a perfect
and just world, but on the incontrovertible evidence that video works. That it
communicates an energy that can break down walls of isolation and fear, and
transform people's lives. That it can preserve the individual voice without
which the largest crowd is worth nothing. And that this call to refuse the
humiliation and ridicule that governments heap upon those they govern, and to
try and live instead with honour and with dignity, can speak directly not only
to the people of these six Arab nations, but to all of us, everywhere.

RECYCLED CINEMA WITH ROGER BEEBE
Filmforum is delighted to welcome filmmaker philosopher Roger Beebe to our
small confines with some of his expansive media works. With this show, Roger
says "I’m thinking about all of these films and videos as being related—through
some notion of “foundness”—to the detritus of multinational capital, whether
that’s in the form of the built landscape of the strip mall and its omnipresent
signage (The Strip Mall Trilogy, AAAAA Motion Picture) or a more fully
“mediated” landscape of mass media representations (Historia Calamitatum, [sic]
series, Dirty Harry and the Hendersons.) I’ve increasingly been thinking about
the continuity between the found footage film and all the other kinds of films
I’ve made, where even shooting feels like just another way of re-presenting the
world as found.” The evening includes a live-scored two-projector performance
of AAAAA Motion Picture, and also the dual-projector film TB TX Dance -- it’s
gonna be quite a show! For more event information:

8:30pm, 631 West 2nd Street
HARDCORE HOME MOVIES
Curated by Bradford Nordeen and organized in collaboration with DL: Los
Angeles. Dirty Looks founder Bradford Nordeen presents film and video works
that celebrate the joyful fluidity found in recent annals of queer history-when
gay and lesbian sexualities were not so tidily divided, when hardcore and DIY
filmmaking brought together a generation of flamboyant outsiders who drifted
from sexuality to sexuality, town to town. Working from punk and queercore
archives, the program showcases essential works by Jonesy, Jill Reiter, G.B.
Jones and Greta Snider, in addition to unearthing recent finds and lesser-known
titles. Nordeen launched Dirty Looks in 2011 as a monthly platform for queer
experimental film and video and has brought it to a variety of venues, from
film festivals and museums to rooftops and unlikely social spaces in New York
and the West Coast. In person: Bradford Nordeen, Jonesy and Jill Reiter

PROJECT SHIRLEY: SHORT FILMS BY SHIRLEY CLARKE

WIE MAN SIEHT (AS YOU SEE) ¬- IN MEMORY OF FILMMAKER HARUN FAROCKI SCREENING 8:
SCHNITTSTELLE (SECTION/INTERFACE) AND ZUM VERGLEICH (IN COMPARISON)
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: Schnittstelle (Section/Interface) (1995, 23 min., color and b/w,
German with English subtitles. Digital.) and Zum Vergleich (In Comparison)
(2009, 61 min., color, no dialogue with English intertitles. Digital.) All
films in this series are in German with English Subtitles, unless otherwise
noted. For more event information: [email protected], or +1 323

7pm, Bright Screening Room (Paramount Center)
BRûLE LA MER, NATHALIE NAMBOT & MAKI BERCHACHE, 2014, 35MM
Brûle la mer stands at the paradoxical crossroads between the lively energy of
a revolution in progress (Tunisia), the momentum of a departure to Europe, and
the violence of a welcome declined. The film targets what constitutes the
sensitive framework of an existence at a time of rupture; that which is the
smallest, the most common, far from exoticism, but haunted by a dream, like an
exhortation. It is not a film about emigration or revolution, it is an essay on
freedom, or rather an essay that stages freedom: a real and fictitious attempt
to escape which involves the making of a film, taking part in the process of
emancipation: burning the sea, borders, laws, papers, etc. What does it mean to
break with one’s past life, leave one’s country and family in which, somehow or
other, strong links of solidarity, mutual assistance and ancestral ties to the
land still prevail, and join a world mythologized and dominated by capitalist
relationships? What is meant by ’living one’s
life’? FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

JOHN GERRARD: NETWORKS AND POWER
The works of John Gerrard (MFA 2000) often take shape as large-scale
projections of meticulously crafted virtual worlds, astonishing in their scope
and execution. Driven by sophisticated military modeling and video game
software, they recreate the outposts of human industry—a 19th-century paper
mill in Norway, mysterious roadways along China’s Silk Road, a solar power
plant in Nevada, factory farms in Oklahoma—to address the networks of energy
and power that have fueled modern life. Gerrard presents five recent
interrelated projects—including Solar Reserve (Tonopah, Nevada) (2014),
Exercise (Dunhuang) (2014), and his latest work-in-progress Farm (Pryor
Creek)—and discusses the themes and technology that have informed his practice.
2009-15, China/Norway/US, multiple formats, ca 60 min + discussion. John
Gerrard (1974, Dublin, Ireland) received a BFA from Oxford University in 1997
and an MFA from SAIC in 2000. His work has been exhibited around the world.
Recent solo
presentations include Solar Reserve, Lincoln Center in association with the
Public Art Fund, New York (2014); Sow Farm, Rathole Gallery, Tokyo, Japan
(2014); Exercise, Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul, Turkey (2014); Pulp Press
(Kistefos), a permanent installation for Kistefos Museet, Norway (2013), among
many others. Gerrard lives and works in Dublin, Ireland and Vienna, Austria and
is represented by Thomas Dane Gallery, London, and Simon Preston Gallery, New
York.

Los Angeles, California 90095: UCLA - James Bridges Theater
7:30pm, 1409 Melnitz Hall
SPOTLIGHT ON THE AVANT-GARDE: BERYL SOKOLOFF AND HY HIRSH
"Before pioneer of visual music Hy Hirsh moved to Spain, he lived in San
Francisco. Beryl Sokoloff was his roommate, and Hirsh's films remained an
influence for the rest of Sokoloff's life. Thank you UCLA for paying homage to
their work with this special screening". - Mónica Savirón Melnitz Movies
Presents: This program is a celebration of the late artist Beryl Sokoloff,
whose work has been obscure for many years. Now experiencing a revival, Melnitz
Movies hopes to contribute to the deserved attention brought upon this artist,
whose filmic observations allow one to inhabit his gaze and gait, to experience
his remarkable transformative vision. Moving deeper into abstraction, we will
also present three films by Hy Hirsh, an influential visual music artist, close
friends and one time roommate of Sokoloff. Brought together again in this
program, these two filmmakers inject rhythm into their observed processes, and
in visualizing their classical, jazz and experimental scores
(including Miles Davis and John Cage) they exhibit a fascination with other
arts, where the process becomes the work itself. - MK Program: LES GIRLS, by
Beryl Sokoloff. 8 mins, 16mm, Anthology Film Archives Collection, preserved by
Silver Bow Art with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation.
MURAL, by Beryl Sokoloff. 9 mins, 16mm, Anthology Film Archives Collection.

SCOTT STARK'S SHIMMERING SPECTACLES
Media artist Scott Stark kicks off a six-week run of an after dark video
installation entitled SHIMMERING SPECTACLES, on the front and side windows of
the California Historical Society's Mission Street building. Part of the CHS's
new exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Pan Pacific
International Exposition of 1915, Stark animates a unique collection of
original stereoview photographs from the 1915 PPIE and intermixes them with
contemporary imagery, bringing to life the multiple spectacles that comprised
the legendary San Francisco world's fair. In the process, each window turns
into a "spectacle" - a lens that pulls into sharp focus these defining, magical
moments of San Francisco history. THROUGH APRIL 16. Part of a new series
entitled Engineers of Illumination which continues throughout 2015.

THOM ANDERSEN: THE THOUGHTS THAT ONCE WE HAD
One of America's foremost practitioners of the essay film returns to REDCAT
with a major new work inspired by the writings of Gilles Deleuze on cinema.
Andersen's The Thoughts That Once We Had (2014, 108 min.) is a richly layered
journey through cinematic history, masterfully edited as it playfully moves
across decades and genres and suffused at every turn by the renowned filmmaker
and critic's lifelong passion for the movies. Andersen's newly remastered Los
Angeles Plays Itself (2003) is a modern classic, ranked among the 50 greatest
documentaries of all time in Sight & Sound magazine's critics poll. His other
works include The Tony Longo Trilogy (2014), Reconversão(2012), Get Out of The
Car (2010), Red Hollywood (1996) and Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer
(1974). In person: Thom Andersen

EX-YUGOSLAVIA: SLOVENIA
SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA PRESENTS: All films preserved/restored by the
Slovenian Cinematheque, Ljubljana, and selected by Jurij Meden. Karpo Godina,
arguably the most internationally acclaimed Slovenian filmmaker and
cinematographer, launched his career in the mid-sixties with a quick succession
of independently produced 8mm experimental shorts, predominantly designed to
question everything he was being taught at the state film academy. DIVJAD, PES
and ANNO PASSATO, which comprise only a small part of this succession, are
primarily exercises in motion: constant motion of the gaze, constant motion in
front of the gaze, motion in all known and unknown directions, all linked
together through seemingly random editing and mere hints of lustful stories. In
retrospect it seems as if Godina had to go through this somewhat naive,
romantic, frantic phase in order to quickly arrive at what he became famous
for: extracting as much (political) action and dynamics as possible from
meticulously framed, perfectly still images (see GRATINIRANI MOZAK PUPILIJE
FERKEVERK). Emerging a decade after the hairy hippie Godina, the post-punk
Davorin Marc remains very much a subject for further research. Notoriously
reclusive and with over 150 Super-8mm and 16mm films under his belt, he
modestly describes his work as “small films,” period, pushing the notion of
understatement to a radical, bleeding new extreme. SLOVENIAN CINEMATHEQUE
Slovenian Cinematheque (SC) started its work in 1994, was officially recognized
by the Slovenian government in 1996 and became a full member of the
International Federation of Film Archives in 2012. SC is primarily a film
museum, dedicated to thinking about cinema in all possible ways and shapes
beyond commercial imperatives. SC treats cinema as a medium, a (historical)
record, an art, a (not necessarily popular) culture, a tool of expression. SC
is involved in film programming, preservation, publishing, research, and
education. In 2009
SC started its very own special film collection, focused on the previously
almost completely neglected avant-garde cinema from the region. Karpo Godina &

EX-YUGOSLAVIA: CROATIA
Along with Mihovil Pansini, Ante Verzotti, and a few others, the filmmakers
represented in this program are the most prominent members of the enormously
vibrant Croatian experimental scene of the 1960s. All of them were members of
the amateur cine-clubs that formed in all the major cities of Yugoslavia at the
time, as well as prominent participants of the unique festival of experimental
film - the Genre Film Festival (GEFF, 1963-70), based in Zagreb - which was the
most important gathering point for ‘film researchers’ and other independent
filmmakers from Yugoslavia. Sometimes they collaborated (Petek and Gotovac
co-directed some of their early works, Gotovac starred in Martinac’s and
Zafranović’s works, and Zafranović was Martinac’s favorite actor), but despite
these links their approach to cinematic experiments differed greatly. Thus,
Petek’s early work represents a prototype of the so-called anti-film, a very
influential concept launched by Zagreb experimentalists in the
early 1960s, which was both the key driving force and thematic focus of the
first GEFF. Gotovac’s films anticipated the structural film movement, while
Martinac embodied a poetic-meditative orientation that has been the hallmark of
the so-called Split Film Circle, which also includes Zafranović, a filmmaker
more inclined to fiction and proto-narrative forms. Both the amateur and the
professional stages of their work were related in various ways to the Croatian
Film Association, whose Archives, founded in 1974, preserve their amateur
shorts and distribute professional ones produced by Filmski autorski studio.

FILM: THE SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE - GUY DEBORD'S FEATURE, DUBBED IN ENGLISH
The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord (b/w, sound, 90min, France, 1973)
Suggested donation $5-$10, but no one will be turned away. All proceeds go to
support the Omni Oakland Commons. Guy Debord (1931-Â1994) was the most
influential figure in the Situationist International, the notorious subversive
group that played a key role in provoking the May 1968 revolt in France. "The
Society of the Spectacle" (1973) is Debord's ambitious film adaptation of his
own 1967 book of the same name. In 2007 with artist / scholar Dore Bowen and
author / translator Ken Knabb San Francisco filmmaker Konrad Steiner took the
original French film and produced an English overdubbed version. Using Ken's
translation read by Dore, and ripped DVD clips from the many quoted films
(which in Debord's film were all dubbed into French), SOS, as it is
affectionately known, has been re-rendered for an English speaking audience.
Now students of revolutionary politics and history, latter day situationists
and pro situs alike, not to mention Francophiles who don't love French THAT
much to speak it can use both ears and eyes to watch the film instead of read
it. The intention was to create a version that allows more people to appreciate
the complex interplay between montage, image and language with which Debord
lays out his theses. As passages from the book are read in voiceover the text
is illuminated, via direct illustration or various types of ironic contrast, by
clips from Russian and Hollywood features ("Potemkin," "Ten Days That Shook the
World," "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Shanghai Gesture," "Johnny Guitar," "Mr.
Arkadin," etc.), TV commercials, softcore porn, and news and documentary
footage, including glimpses of Spain 1936, Hungary '56, Watts '65, France '68,
and other revolts of the past. Inter-title quotes from Marx, Machiavelli,
Clausewitz, Tocqueville, and Debord himself occasionally break the flow,
challenging the viewers to question their own relation to the film
- and to the society as a whole. Ken will introduce the film, and he and Konrad
and Dore will be on hand for discussion of the film and its meaning, influence
and relevance.

CHAPMAN'S MOTHER MORTAR, FATHER PESTLE +
The entire NorCal film community is deeply indebted to Gibbs Chapman’s amazing
production wizardry. Too rarely do we get to see the wonders conjured up by
this meticulous craftsman from his own portfolio, but in fact tonight he
introduces his new feature MMFP. This elliptical series of vignettes
constitutes a black, white, and gray-area speculation on failing belief
systems, in a perpetual twilight-zone of human foibles. This Mission-lensed
labor of love stars Kurt Keppeler, Monica Nolan, Thad Povey, Kara Herold, with
original music by Brian Burman. Opening are Gibbs’ earlier 16mm marvels, Push
Button and Thinking Fellers. $7.
