RE:SOUND 2017
Sound and sound and image performances by Ashley Bellouin, Michele Seippel, and
Joshua Churchill and Paul Clipson (presenting dual 16mm projections.)Re:Sound
is an experimental music series which explores the relationship between
forgotten spaces, sound abstraction and the natural environment. The series
takes place on the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve, a 215-acre park
that formerly served as one of the first Naval Ammunition Depots. The event is
held in a concrete munitions storage magazine measuring 55'x100' with ceilings
over 15'. The architecture of the building traps sound resulting in a prolonged
reverberation.

JIM JENNINGS AND FRIENDS
To celebrate the 66th birthday of Jim Jennings, a beloved yet under-sung
stalwart of the New York City experimental film community whose lyrical,
sharp-eyed films speak to the glorious tradition of urban street photography,
we have invited six of Jennings's fellow filmmakers - Abigail Child, Nathaniel
Dorsky, Ernie Gehr, Vincent Grenier, Henry Hills, and Ken Jacobs - to select
their favorite films from throughout his long, productive career. With the
exception of Nathaniel Dorsky and Henry Hills (who will be here in spirit),
they will all be present to introduce their chosen films, alongside Jim himself
who will screen his very first film, made 50 years ago! Special thanks to all
the filmmakers, and to Karen Treanor.

THE FACES OF RUSSIAN PEASANTS: TWO FILMS BY SERGEI LOZNITSA
Sergei Loznitsa is one of the most heralded filmmakers in Europe, but is still
little known in America. Generously supported by the Mike Kelley Foundation for
the Arts, Filmforum is bringing Loznitsa to Los Angeles for his first time in
late February, for in-person screenings at Filmforum, UCLA, Cal Arts, and
Cinefamily. To lead up to Loznitsa’s visit, Filmforum presents the Los Angeles
premieres of two of his award-winning films Portrait and Landscape. These
highly structured, gentle, painterly looks at Russian peasants might well
resonate for fans of James Benning or Serge Dvortsevoy, or other “slow cinema”
artists. Utterly absorbing and gorgeous works. Tickets: $10 general; $6 for
students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Available in advance from Brown

7:30-10PM, Temescal Art Center, 511 48th St.
SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS FIRED!
Fired! is Shapeshifters Cinema’s first group screening, organized as part of
100 Days Action a coordinated response by the Bay Area artist community to
Trump’s 100 Day Plan. Fired! includes short works by Bay Area-based moving
image artists Tommy Becker, Allison Holt with Patrick McGee and Justin Enteman,
Kit Young with Fred Rinne, We Rise and Tijana Petrovic that address the new
political landscape through live sound, moving image and performance. Some of
the work addresses the Trump administration directly, calling for empathy and
inclusion of minorities, people with disabilities and others living outside the
mainstream. Other works explore politics and society more generally in an
effort to deconstruct, through a critical lens, those aspects that shape and
define us, for better or worse. Using the language and tools of constructive
creativity, we will fight fire with Fired!, adding our voices to the resistance
of a shady incoming administration whose only motives are power
and profit.

6-9pm daily, 3434 Falaise Avenue
BUNGALOW BY ALEX MACKENZIE
Iris Film Collective is pleased to present the inaugural installation of IN
HOUSE, a year-long series of film and light installation at the Falaise
Fieldhouse by Collective members.===== Falaise Park is named for a historic
end-of-war battle centred around a small French village where tens of thousands
of soldiers lost their lives. After WWII this forested hill in East Vancouver
was cleared and transformed into the Renfrew Heights Housing Project for War
Veterans, built to accommodate returning soldiers and their young families
(those without families were less fortunate). Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder—known then as Battle Fatigue and formerly Shell Shock—was one of the
inevitable and brutal effects of this war, causing these soldiers and their
families tremendous suffering that continues to reverberate to this day. In
MacKenzie’s BUNGALOW, the audio from various Allied forces propaganda films
from August 1944 (Pathe, Movietone, etc.) describe the inhumane death tolls at
Falaise in France. This audio is converted into light using strobes that are
triggered based on volume and rhythm. Seen from outside, the house is
transformed into a pulsing emblem of the cost of war. Upon approaching the
building one can hear the muffled audio contained by the walls of this symbolic
home on the hill.

Co-presented with Electronic Arts Intermix. The viewer is challenged to
reconsider the subjective and cultural roles imposed by gender while having fun

movie uses interconnected “diaries” to explore the space between seeing and
interpreting during a romantic trip with filmmaker Greg Shepard across the
United States to get married at a “drive-in-wedding window.” Mea Dols de Jong
speaks to her mother about a mysterious (manless) family tradition, the role of
men in it, and their mother-daughter relationship. Mea Dols de Jong IF MAMA

BREAKING UP IS HARD 2 DO: A PROGRAM OF LOVE, HEARTACHE & SENSUALITY
A special VALENTINES DAY screening @ ARTIST TELEVISION ACCESS in PARTNERSHIP
WITH CANYON CINEMA. FILMS TO BE SCREENED: **********************************
CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN – PLUMB LINE, 1968-71, COLOR, 15M Plumb Line: Plump line
full rounded plumbs drop or descent abounding in, plume abrupt plunge, testing
vertically/perpendicularity of wall, sounding (downright), level, true,
ecactly, (U.S. slang) utterly crazy, measure, depth, make vertical. Pendulum
(Carpentry), Plumber, lead ball, join, joint.) Plumb Line is made from scrap.
Footage shot in 8mm and 16mm ’68-69, a film diary of daily movements-the
couple. Sounds of my cat singing, repeated cries of ‘no’, sirens screaming, my
voice describing food from the maze of a breakdown, his voice ‘tell me a
story…I’ve got a truck you know’. Moving footage into freeze frames, stills
animated, 8mm mirror printed as 16mm, images in 16mm reshot in 8. A portrait of
a man and the dissolution of a relationship and of the film itself. The
accumulation patterns of imagery are finally set on fire. Sound and images
edited during ’70-72. – C.S. Plumb Line was beautiful, it seemed to be laying
everything open, even more than Fuses – a very private film, and as clear as
crystal.’ – David Curtis. The dissolution of a relationship unravels through
visual and aural equivalences. Schneemann splits and recomposes actions of the
lovers in a streaming montage of disruptive permutations: 8 mm is printed as 16
mm, moving images freeze, frames recur and dissolve until the film bursts into
flames, consuming its own substance. -EAI SU FRIEDRICH – RULES OF THE ROAD,
1993, COLOR, 31M Rules of the Road tells the story of a love affair and its
demise through one of the objects shared by the couple: an old beige station
wagon with fake wood paneling. A typical American family car for an atypical
American family, it provides the women at first with all the familiar comforts.
But when their relationship ends, the car becomes the
property of one and the bane of the other’s existence. Even long after their
separation, this tangible reminder of their life together—and thousands of its
imitators—continues to prowl the streets of the city, haunting the woman who no
longer holds the keys either to the car or the other woman’s heart. Through
spoken text, popular music and images from the streets of New York, Rules of
the Road takes a somewhat whimsical, somewhat caustic look at how our dreams of
freedom, pleasure, security, and family are so often symbolized by the
automobile. “… the light, almost whimsical tone of the film should not blind us
to the part of it that is irreducibly personal. Station wagons are everywhere;
everybody’s got a sad love story. But only one filmmaker, to my knowledge, has
Su Friedrich’s eye….With Rules of the Road, she creates a film like a perfect
short story.” —Stuart Klawans, THE NATION CHICK STRAND – FEVER DREAM, 1979,
B/W, 7M A wet hot dream about sensuality. ***** This
screening is a part of the Canyon Cinema 50 project. Canyon Cinema is thankful
for the long term support of the George Lucas Family Foundation. Dedicated
project funding for Canyon Cinema 50 has been generously provided by the Andy
Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, Owsley
Brown III Foundation, Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation and The Fleishhacker

autobiography directly and glancingly in my films. At times I've inhabited the
straight ahead diary film idiom, other times I've veiled my presence by

CHANGING THE SHAPE OF FILM: AN EVENING WITH BARBARA HAMMER
Join us for an evening of transmuted cinema, where images break through the
traditional rectangular screen and emerge as unexpected and amorphous shapes.
Working since the late 1960s, Barbara Hammer’s career has been marked by
experimentation, intellectual rigor, and a commitment to testing boundaries.
Hammer will present two works of expanded cinema that reconsider exactly where
film images belong. With Changing the Shape of Film, a 12-foot weather balloon
becomes the screen for Hammer’s own films, forcing the audience to find new
perspectives, and seating arrangements. In Available Space, a 16mm projector is
mobilized and the architecture of the space becomes the screen. In this work,
the viewer is also mobilized and forced into continuous physical motion to view
it. Presented in conjunction with Exploratorium, this event is the first Canyon
Cinema 50 program in a yearlong series of programming in celebration of the
50th anniversary of Canyon Cinema’s incorporation as a
distributor of independent artist-made film. In the tradition of Canyon’s
monthly Canyon Cinema Salon series, Hammer’s performances will be followed by
an intimate conversation. Barbara Hammer was born on May 15, 1939, in
Hollywood, California. She is a visual artist working primarily in film and
video. She has made over 80 moving image works in a career that spans 40 years.
She is considered a pioneer of queer cinema and has worked in documentary,
experimental cinema, performance, and installation. She has received numerous
honors including a Guggenheim Fellowship and retrospectives at the Museum of
Modern Art in New York, Tate Modern in London, and the Toronto International
Film Festival. Her work has shown at countless national and international
venues. In addition to her moving image work, she is the author of Hammer!
Making Movies Out of Sex and Life. She teaches each summer at The European
Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.

APPARITIONS BY ALEX MACKENZIE
Inspired by early stereo imaging and the clash and collusion of socioeconomic
forces, this suite of works seeks to dismantle cinematic codes while
foregrounding projector and light as sculpture: a conscious corruption and
interference of the apparatus to evoke the unexpected, reshaping representation
into the realm of material and space. Using colour gels, masking, lens
interference and projector movement in tandem with an exploration of binocular
disparity, perspective, patterning and the film surface itself, APPARITIONS
explores the transitional space between image and abstraction, nature and
culture.

WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND: THE FILMS OF TONY GAULT, ROGER BEEBE, AND ELIZABETH HENRY
NOTE THE CHANGE FROM OUR USUAL DAY! Filmmakers Tony Gault, Roger Beebe, and
Elizabeth Henry in person! On the eve of the 9th edition of the Festival of
(In)appropriation, Los Angeles Filmforum is thrilled to present this intimate
prelude, featuring works by three stalwarts of the found-footage filmmaking
universe. Orbiting at the upper reaches of the avant-docu-sphere, the works of
Tony Gault, Roger Beebe, and Elizabeth Henry offer remarkable explorations of
creation and destruction, desire and loss, land and spirit. By turns haunting,
humorous, and hallucinatory, their films are as much about the world we so
often see without knowing, as they are about the world we can only know by
seeing it through cinema. For Filmforum, these longtime pals on the
experimental/documentary circuit (all former standouts of Festivals of
(In)appropriation past) have joined forces to present this retrospective of
works both new and old, shot on Super8, 16mm, and HD, or culled from the world’s
voluminous archive of found footage. Tickets available at

FEB18: IVY JEANNE'S STANDING ROCK + MARK STREET'S OILTOWNS
OC opens with the first of our four SCRITTI POLITTI specials this Spring, a
timely look at explosive issues around resource-extraction in the American
Midwest. Ivy Jeanne McClelland and Pablo Calderaro return from the Standing
Rock encampment with their 25-min. slide-show on the Sioux' struggle to stop
the Dakota pipeline from tainting their tribal water and ground*. Their
inspiring account is supported by a handful of doc shorts, many by Native
makers on the scene: Shiye Bidziil's Black Snake, IEN's Were Still Here, Peter
Mettler's Petropolis, et al. In the show's second half, Frisco ex-pat Mark
Street flies back with a revelatory report on the new boom/bust displacement in
North Dakota, a land and a people rolled over by the imperatives of Big Oil.

YES: NICHOLAS STEINDORF & KYLE WILLIAMS
Q&A with the artist follows.For the first 2017 edition of Microscope's emerging
artist series YES we screen new and recent video works by Brooklyn-based
artists Nicholas Steindorf and Kyle Williams, including those made under their
collaboration Binn & Lambert. In playful and paradoxical works such as Family
and Pyramid Kyle Williams is concerned with alternative ways of looking at
everyday objects, providing them with a new life and appearance on screen,
often involving special lighting and the construction of props and mechanical
apparatuses. Nicholas Steindorf's meticulous 3D modeled and animated videos
research the singular and poetic within the digital realm through two distinct
projects. The collaboration Binn & Lambert finds a calibrated mix of these two
individual approaches, leading to another unique universe of works. More info:

THE FESTIVAL OF (IN)APPROPRIATION #9
Curators Jaimie Baron & Greg Cohen with filmmakers Roger Beebe, Tony Gault, and
Kevin McCarthy in person! Whether you call it collage, compilation, found
footage, détournement, or recycled cinema, the incorporation of already
existing media into new artworks is a practice that generates novel
juxtapositions and new meanings and ideas, often in ways entirely unrelated to
the intentions of the original makers. Such new works are, in other words,
“inappropriate.” This act of (in)appropriation may even produce revelations
about the relationship between past and present, here and there, intention and
subversion, artist and critic, not to mention the "producer" and "consumer" of
visual culture itself. Fortunately for our purposes, the past decade has
witnessed the emergence of a wealth of new audiovisual elements available for
appropriation into new works. Featuring films by Deborah Kelly, Tina Takemoto,
Christopher Harris, Daniela Zahiner, Tony Gault, Roger Beebe, Ryan Murray,
Kevin McCarthy, Yunjin Woo and more! For more event information:
