Consortium, an independent non-profit organization in residence at New Jersey
City Universityís Department of Media Arts. The Black Maria was founded in 1981
as a tribute to Thomas Edisonís development of the motion picture at his

RECLAMATION WORKS: NEW AND RECENT FILMS BY WILLIAM E. JONES AND THOM ANDERSEN
William E. Jones and Thom Andersen in person! One U.S and five Los Angeles
premieres! In what promises to be a superb evening, William E. Jones and Thom
Andersen each return to Filmforum to present recent works that look deep into
past films to find or revitalize their meanings. Whether social investigation,
political commentary, or a new-forgotten filmmakerís documentation of an era
largely forgotten, these two artists again show why they are two of the finest
cinema makers of today. Five works by William E. Jones include one U.S. and
four Los Angeles premieres, and Thom Andersenís Juke is its local premiere. For

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: HOLLIS FRAMPTON PROGRAM
ZORNS LEMMA 1970, 60 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives. ìA major
poetic work. Created and put together by a very clear eye-head, this original
and complex abstract work moves beyond the letters of the alphabet, beyond
words and beyond Freud. If you donít understand it the first time you see it,
donít despair, see it again! When you finally ëget it,í a small light, possibly
a candle, will light itself inside your forehead.î ñErnie Gehr & HAPAX LEGOMENA
I: (nostalgia) 1971, 36 min, 16mm, b&w. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.
ìIn (nostalgia) the time it takes for a photograph to burn (and thus confirm
its two-dimensionality) becomes the clock within the film, while Frampton plays
the critic, asynchronously glossing, explicating, narrating, mythologizing his
earlier art, and his earlier life, as he commits them both to the fire of a
labyrinthine structure; for Borges too was one of his earlier masters, and he
grins behind the facades of logic, mathematics, and
physical demonstrations which are the formal metaphors for most of Framptonís
films.î ñP. Adams Sitney Total running time: ca. 100 min.

8:30PM, Pyramid Club | 101 Avenue A
JOHN SEX - THE TRUE STORY
John Sex (1956 - 1990) was a wily and ribald staple of the East Village scene
immortalized in books like Art After Midnight. With his sizzling singles like
"Hustle With My Muscle" and "Bump and Grind It," Sex began his career
developing signature looks and flyers for local bands before inventing his
signature foot-high pompadour. With his busty backing dancers, The Bodacious
Ta-Tas, Sex created a nightclub boylesque sensation equal parts Las Vegas and
Club 57. Curator: Bradford Nordeen

program highlights works that have been produced in the last 10 years that
carry the spirit of past queer API film and video history. Following the
tradition of their predecessors, these artists embody a politic and aesthetic
of transgression, experimentation, and an unapologetic display of sexuality,
humor, camp, and political resistance. In particular, these artists utilize
performance, music/audio, digital technologies, and unconventional narrative
forms to bend and transcend notions of fixed identities, bodies, and
geographies within a transnational Asian Pacific context. Curator: Leeroy Kun

Jerry Paris, The Grasshopper, 35mm on video, 98min., 1970. Criminally neglected
trashy classic follows naive Canadian hitchhiker Jacqueline Bisset to Los
Angeles and Las Vegas as she makes it as a showgirl and VIP ìparty girl.î Along
the way, she becomes the mistress to a wealthy, aging Joseph Cotten and finds
true (doomed) romance in an interracial marriage with Jim Brown. Her gay best
friend and his boyfriend represent remarkably decent portrayals of gay
characters for the time. Curator: Karl McCool

UNEXPOSED #16: ALEX MANESS
UNEXPOSED is a monthly experimental film series in Durham, North Carolina. The
16th (free) show of the series will feature Alex Maness and his feature length
experimental film, PSYCHO/PSYCHO. He has only showed it once in Durham almost
three years ago, so donít miss this second screening! FILMMAKER IN ATTENDANCE.
Description of Film: PSYCHO/ PSYCHO is an experimental aesthetic comparison of
two versions of the popular horror film PSYCHO. Originally adapted from the
novel of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock in 1960, it was remade shot for shot
by Gus Van Sant in 1998. Van Santís version is set in the present day, has a
different cast and is in color; and aside from just a few slight departures is
completely faithful to the original. PSYCHO/ PSYCHO has both the black and
white and color films layered on top of one another with Hitchcockís soundtrack
in the left audio channel and Van Santís in the right. The effect is at first
disorienting then intoxicating as the viewerís
visual attention follows first the color film then the black & white, while
listening first to the left speaker then flowing to the right. Itís a
mesmerizing and rare sensory experience not to be missed. BIO Alex Maness is a
photographer, filmmaker, video designer and visual artist living in Durham NC.
He is a former INDY staff photographer and is currently a full time freelancer
and partner at the Shadowbox studio.

RE-VISIONS: TESSA HUGHES-FREELAND PROGRAM
One of the defining figures of the No Wave and Cinema of Transgression
movements of the 1980s, Tessa Hughes-Freelandís powerfully provocative films
harness the shock value of sex and violence and then undercut it with a cool
sense of irony. Steeped in the gritty atmosphere of downtown New York, her work
radically recontextualizes familiar imagery ñ from pornography, classic
Hollywood films, and mythology ñ to subvert the traditional pleasures of
cinematic voyeurism. Born in England, Hughes-Freeland earned a B.A. in Art
History from the University of London and moved to NYC to pursue a masterís
degree in Cinema Studies at NYU. Unimpressed with what she saw as the
universityís staid approach to film history, she was drawn to the East
Villageís vibrant cinematic underground. Frequenting screenings at local small
clubs and bars like Club 57, Limbo Lounge, and Chandelier, she got to know the
filmmakers associated with the burgeoning No Wave/Cinema of Transgression scene
ñ
including Nick Zedd, Richard Kern, Tommy Turner, and Scott B & Beth B ñ many of
whom she interviewed for the EAST VILLAGE EYE and Zeddís zine, THE UNDERGROUND
FILM BULLETIN. Frustrated that the critical establishment was ignoring
challenging, different, and confrontational independent films, Hughes-Freeland,
along with fellow underground avant-garde filmmaker Ela Troyano, co-founded the
New York Film Festival Downtown in 1984. The festivalís stated goal was ìto
break the stranglehold of ignorance and intolerance that has confined most of
these films to the clubs and performance spaces of downtown New York.î The
multi-day festival, which ran until 1990, featured an impressive array of
artists and works including Todd Haynes (SUPERSTAR: THE KAREN CARPENTER STORY),
Nan Goldin (THE BALLAD OF SEXUAL DEPENDENCY), Peggy Ahwesh (I RIDE A PONY NAMED
FLAME), and Manuel De Landa (JUDGMENT DAY, ISM ISM), among many others.
Hughes-Freelandís first major work as a filmmaker is BABY DOLL
(1982), a 16mm portrait of two female go-go dancers who speak exasperatedly
about the misogynistic expectations of their male clients. DIRTY (1992), made
in collaboration with Annabel Lee, is an adaptation of Georges Batailleís BLUE
OF NOON, in which a drunken society woman soils herself and wallows in
degradation. GIFT (2010) deconstructs and reassembles ALICE IN WONDERLAND &
SLEEPING BEAUTY into something slyly sinister, while WATCH OUT! and INSTINCT:
BITCHES SIDE (2007) both employ a wide range of found footage and multiple
layers of images. Rounding out our show are new digital transfers of rarely
screened Super 8 documents from the 1980s, including a seminal performance by
the Butthole Surfers and old school graffiti captured on super saturated
Kodachrome. BABY DOLL (1982, 3 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives
with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation and the Andy Warhol
Foundation for the Visual Arts.) GIFT (2010, 6 min, Super 8mm & mixed

The Clit Club was a ìfloatingî queer and sex-positive lesbian nightclub held in
NYC that promoted safe sex and existed as an intergenerational, multi-racial,
and mixed class venue for women. The party was founded by Julie Tolentino and
Jocelyn Taylor in 1990 and ran until 2002. On this evening, attendees will have
the opportunity to engage with an interactive display of ephemera, a film
screening, discussion, and to activate records of memory and current
reflections surrounding the twelve year running party, community, and force
known as the Clit Club. The film screening component of the program consists of
three works chosen by the curators to express their sentiments towards the Clit
Club as a means to explore the historical, cultural, and
aesthetic modes of queer desire, sexuality, and connection. Curators: Leeroy

8:30PM, Pioneer Works | 159 Pioneer Street
SOMETHING MUST BREAK
Ester Martin Bergsmark, Something Must Break For many of the few who have been
able to see it, Something Must Break is considered one of the best attempts at
transgender representation and the psycho-social complexities that this
subjectivity entails. Located in contemporary Stockholm, the film gives us a
glimpse in the life of Saga, a you transgender woman living and surviving in a
not so inviting Sweden. Based on a novel by Swedish writer Eli Leven, this film
portraits a possible poetic optimism that doesnít falls into cheesy, mainstream
narratives. Despite the fact that this film has been commercially released in
Sweden, Germany, and other Eastern European countries it does not have
distribution in the US, so this screening is one of the few occasions to watch
it. Curated by Clara LÛpez MenÈndez

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE
by Marcel Hanoun In French with projected English subtitles, 1958, 68 min,
16mm, b&w ìBased on a true incident, the film chronicles the wanderings of a
woman and child looking for work and lodging in Paris. This is the only plot,
and Hanoun has little interest in embellishing it with background and
motivation: he never even makes it clear, for example, whether the woman is the
childís mother, guardian or companion. UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE is, more than a
narrative, a formal stylistic exercise so rigorously disciplined and
understated that it makes the visual asceticism of Robert Bresson seem almost
Fellini-esque by comparison.î ñTIME

HYPNOSIS DISPLAY (AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE) PART OF THE OPEN FRAME PROGRAM FROM
ROOM40
75 min. sound/16mm film performance by Grouper and Paul Clipson, commissioned
by Opera North. "As a ruminative vision of America ñ ìa collective mindís-eye
trip through landscapes of American myth makingî according to Opera Northís
press release- Hypnosis Display sees the construction of a truly otherworldly
landscape, at once largely manmade but simultaneously dehumanised and foreign,
a kind of inverted Turnerian Frontier. If there still exists an academic belief
that America in this sense is ëclosedí (or, rather ëfinishedí), then Clipsonís
and Harrisí iteration, in contrast, is a totally alien appropriation of a
familiar space, in effect repositioning it as a new contemporary sphere of the
unknown."-Thomas Howells/CRACK

"HYPNOSIS DISPLAY envelops the viewer within an expansive sound and image
experience. Both artists use formats that emote sonically and visually unique
momentsócassette tape and 16mm filmówhich combine to create an especially
resonant live environment. The dialogue between these sensitive materials
evokes a dynamic tension between beauty and dissonance. Grouper layers
performed and field recorded music to create hypnotic soundscapes cloaked
within her vocals and tape loops. Clipson's collaged, super-impositioned 16mm
films, projected from within the theatre space, seek to invite the audience to
participate in a collective mind's-eye trip, traversing Grouper's musical
language to create startling, revelatory associations, as if each viewer is
experiencing a hallucinatory waking dream." Hypnosis Display is a commission of
