DIRECTORS LOUNGE SCREENING - DAGIE BRUNDERT - ODE TO SOMMER
Ode an Sommer - Ode to Summer -°*°- -°*°- Berlin's cultural scene would not be
the same, if filmmaker Dagie Brundert was not there. The artist started off in
the 90's with some female colleagues as FBI, Freie Berliner Ischen. With ironic
and unconventional films they challenged established and artsy art forms,
skewed films spiced up with resonances of Camp and Beat, as it reverberated in
some young circles in the first decade after the breakdown of the wall. Since
then, Brundert stuck to her guns of Super-8 filmmaking with admirable creative
productivity. She records everyday occurrences, the obvious things on sight and
the things offside, however always dispersing a positive message. -°*°- The new
program at Z-Bar presents a number of brand new films, one premiere
("Widerstand", 2017, resistance) and a few rare early films. Ode an Juni 4 “
(2016, Ode to June), the film giving the name to this program, is one of the
few medium long films by Brundert. And, it is part of her
favorite seasonal project. She has planned to record a film about June every
year. Film developing in biological developer, a trip to the film festival
Hamburg, establishing a new dark room, a bath in lake Teufelssee and the hand
written numbers of the days are some of the scenes of last years diary, all of
which being hand-developed, digitally edited and underscored with summer tunes.
It is the small things in the film, the joys of everyday life, which, condensed
by a combination of time-lapse and short cuts, makes the film poetic and
amiable. It is this delight about exceptional but unspectacular moments, which
inform her films, and which still oppose the garish images of the media or the
attempts of “going viral” on social media, and which still reminds me of the
bearings of the Beats. -°*°- In a number of new films, goes back to humorous
forms she used back in the past: narrated films ("Bin ich reich? Bin ich reich?
Bin ich reich?...” 2015), using objects as characters
("Lametta" 2016), or games from childhood (potato stamps in “Kartoffel” 2013).
Other films follow a more discriptive style. The savvy viewers and the friends,
however, do not expect new experimental forms from Dagie, but they like to
follow her frame of mind, the lighthearted way to look at life. Her films often
have the effect of a line of a pop song that suddenly enters your mind and
changes the way you look at yourself or your surrounding. -°*°- Dagie Brundert
will be present for Q&A. Curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr. -°*°- -°*°- Artist

speaking [Breer's] works belong to that category of films generally called
'abstract' (though his are also highly 'concrete'), but differ from everything
else that has been done along these lines in one basic respect: Breer is
undoubtedly the first filmmaker to have brought to his medium the full heritage
of modern painting and the sum of sophisticated experimentation that it
represents." - Noël Burch, FILM QUARTERLY Total running time: ca. 85 min.

Revolutionary Government of Grenada (PRG) was born. Completed just months prior
to the 1983 U.S. invasion, this documentary examines the aims and
accomplishments of the New Jewel Movement led by Maurice Bishop and the reasons
for the American military action.

visit: www.artsforart.org. PROGRAM 2: Ebba Jahn RISING TONES CROSS (1985, 111
min, 16mm-to-digital) "The early 1980s were a period of transition for the
avant-garde in New York. The loft scene era - in which Ornette Coleman's home
on Prince Street and Sam Rivers's Studio Rivbea provided workshops for
experimenters to develop their art - was drawing to a close, and the arrival of
the Knitting Factory and its explosive impact on the Downtown scene was still a
few years away. It fell to the artists themselves to create new opportunities.
As chronicled in RISING TONES CROSS, two such motivated visionaries were
bassist William Parker and dancer Patricia Nicholson. The film centers around
the Sound Unity Festival, a precursor to the couple's current Lower East Side
bash, the Vision Festival." -Bruce Gallanter, DOWNTOWN MUSIC GALLERY Preceded
by: Michael Lucio Sternbach ASHIMBA: A PORTRAIT OF COOPER MOORE
(2017, 15 min, digital) Born in segregated Virginia, Cooper-Moore has been a
pivotal member of the FreeJazz movement since the early 1970s. The primary
instrument of this master multi-instrumentalist is the piano, though he has
also designed and built a variety of instruments. He has performed with David
S. Ware, William Parker, Hamid Drake, and Gerald Cleaver, among many others.
This film features interviews of Cooper-Moore and his peers, live concert
footage, and video taken during his trip to Ethiopia for The Festival of a
Thousand Stars. On May 29, as part of the Vision Festival, Arts for Art will
recognize Cooper Moore for his extraordinary achievements.

visit: www.artsforart.org. PROGRAM 3: Stanley Nelson THE BLACK PANTHERS:
VANGUARD OF THE REVOLUTION (2015, 90 min, digital) This is the first
feature-length documentary to explore the Black Panther Party, its significance
to broader American society, the cultural and political awakening it
represented for black people, and the painful lessons wrought when a movement
derails. Nelson goes straight to the source, weaving a treasure trove of rare
archival footage together with the voices of the people who were there: police,
FBI informants, journalists, white supporters and detractors, and Black
Panthers who remained loyal to the party and those who left it. Featuring
Kathleen Cleaver, Jamal Joseph, and many others, it is an essential history and
a vibrant chronicle of the pivotal movement that birthed a new revolutionary
culture in America. Preceded by: Amine Koulder DAVID S. WARE: A WORLD OF SOUND
(2011, 13 min, digital) Saxophonist/composer/bandleader David S. Ware began a
mentor/musical relationship with saxophone colossus Sonny Rollins, who taught
him circular breathing, in 1966. Following his arrival in the NYC loft jazz
scene of the early 70s, word of his potent voice on tenor sax spread quickly.
He soon became a member of the Cecil Taylor Unit, with whom he toured
throughout Europe, the U.S., and Canada. In 1989 he formed the David S. Ware
Quartet and over the course of 17 years, the music David made with this band
added immeasurably to the language of jazz. In this film, David discusses music
as a form of meditation and spiritual practice.

A Coruña (Spain): (S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico
http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=8a7e5a0006&e=4e65756555
5 days, A Coruña (Spain)
(S8) 8TH MOSTRA DE CINEMA PERIFéRICO
Hi, everybody! (S8) has been “opening the doors of perception” for eight years
with an inspiring and avant-garde cinema that does not reach theaters. A unique
event in Spain and an international reference in its field. Every year (S8)
discovers a series of fundamental filmmakers and films to the Spanish public.
-----> Two of the key filmmakers of this edition are Aldo Tambellini and Helga
Fanderl. Painter, sculptor, filmmaker and integral artist, Tambellini began his
journey linked to the New York counterculture of the 60s. Either with his
plastic experiments with film and video, pioneering works that embrace directly
film materiality, either from his position of cultural preceptor since he
founded the Black Gate Theater in 1966, a place that programmed experimental
cinema and theater, where one could see the work of visionary and controversial
filmmakers such as Bruce Conner, Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger and Jack Smith among
many others. This complete program dedicated to
Tambellini (curated by Helena Girón and Samuel Delgado) will include a showing
of his Black Films, dedicated to some of the fundamental movies shown at the
Black Gate Theater (both in 16mm), in addition to a performance and
installation. ----->Helga Fanderl, for her part, has been making -since the
80s- films only in super 8, a format with which she continues working. For the
German filmmaker, living and filmmaking are one and the same thing: her
particular look captures the beauty of everyday life in films that can almost
be understood as haikus, in intimacy with the world around her thanks to the
super 8 camera. She herself prepares and programs every film showing, as for
her each combination of films forms their own rhythms and resonances, composing
each time a different final work, and turning each projection into a unique
event. This year (S8) will host two showings of her work, and a third showing /
master class in which she will also project some of her movies.
----->Another fundamental part of the programming of (S8) is the thematic block
that this year, under the title Objects and Apparitions, is dedicated to
appropriation films or found footage. ----->The title is a nod to the American
surrealist Joseph Cornell (via the poem that Octavio Paz dedicated to him), a
pioneer of appropriation film, inspiration, guiding light and "patron saint" of
this edition. Within this block, of course, a showing will be devoted to
Cornell’s found footage work made between the 30s and 40s, but there will be
also room for many other filmmakers. ----->This is the case of Luther Price,
who will be in Spain for the first time, bringing two showings of his films and
an exhibition. Price, with a hazardous life marked by misfortune, has been
dealing with pain and trauma in his films since the 1980s. A controversial
filmmaker that melts sordidness and beauty in super 8 and 16mm films that he
re-edits, paints and even buries in his garden for months to play
with the effects of decadence, using found materials such as surgical
operations movies, porno films or home and institutional films. His particular
way of working has made that there are not prints of most of his films: there
are only the originals, which he himself brings and projects, and which we will
see for the first time in Spain exclusively at (S8). Luther Price’s exhibition
will consist of his collages, mounted on slide frames, including pieces of
film, paint, dust and even insects. ----->Cécile Fontaine will also be part of
this block of "Objects and Apparitions". The French filmmaker (born in the
overseas department of Réunion Island) studied in the United States, where she
began to work in the 80s. Using all kinds of home resources (from adhesive tape
to bleach, soaps and sharp objects), Fontaine makes film collages in which,
under different themes, she works with the color and graphic properties of the
16mm and super 8 film strip. Her films are an invitation to
travel: there are sea themes, about Japan, microscopic beings, waterfalls,
family meals. Using home movies (of her own and others) and advertising films
of all kinds, Fontaine makes visually stunning collages. ----->This thematic
block is not only made up by found images, but found sounds. In that sense, the
Spanish filmmaker and curator -living in New York- Mónica Savirón recovers and
shows the work of the Dutch Barbara Meter (whose films will be seen for the
first time in Spain). In her program we will also see appropriation works in
which sound is a key piece. Meter, who has been a key player in the Dutch
avant-garde, has had eye problems for years, which makes her films look
peculiar, and sound is one of her fundamental expression tools. From sounds of
nature to voices of actors taken from movies, music or radio recordings (which
she mixes and manipulates) populate her films, whose images are composed of own
footage, family photos and documents that Meter treats with the
optical printer (a system of film re-photographing and copying). Her movies,
recently restored by the EYE Film Institut (the Dutch film archive), will be
projected in 16mm and 35mm. ----->Within "Objects and Apparitions" there will
also be two showings devoted to recent works of found footage, in a double
program called Lost Property Office. Filmmakers such as Dianna Barrie, Daïchi
Saïto, Janie Geiser, Pere Ginard and Sebastian Wiedemann, among others, make up
the varied selection, showing many different ways of working with found
materials, film and video. ----->The block of "Objects and Apparitions" is
completed with the premiere in Spain of Potamkin, by the young Canadian
filmmaker Stephen Broomer (whom the festival dedicated a focus last year), a
kind of biography of the film critic of the early twentieth century Harry
Potamkin through the films he wrote about, which Broomer manipulates through
various chemical and copying processes. ----->In addition, there will be an
exhibition regarding this theme, with works by Cécile Fontaine, Luther Price
and María Cañas from Seville. ----->One of the most characteristic and
emblematic parts of the festival is the section Overflows (titled in homage to
José Val del Omar), dedicated to expanded cinema and film performance. This
year Overflows brings, as already mentioned, the performance Moondial by Aldo
Tambellini. Music, dance, cinema and lumagramas (slides that Tambellini
devastated or painted creating hypnotic circumferences in the dark) are mixed
in Moondial, one of his called Electromedia Performances. The group Nominoë and
Sally Golding, artists who have toured the most prestigious festivals and
institutions in the world, are this year's highlight of Overflows. The
performance of the French group Nominoë Parallax creates different spatial and
geometric games by moving several 16mm projectors around the room with dollies
and using various optical and sound devices. The London-based Australian
Sally Golding will bring to (S8) two of her recent performances, Light Begets
Sound and Ghost - Loud + Strong, a stunning performance in which she plays with
the optical sound of 16mm projectors, which she operates with different devices
and manipulated movies, creating a hallucinatory and trance experience. The
selection is closed with the filmmaker and researcher Albert Alcoz and the
photographer Blanca Viñas, from Barcelona, who bring their performance La noche
inventada: sound interventions, slide projections (of photographs and painted
slides), a 16mm projector and three super 8 projectors are the tricks they use
to bring the conflict between static and moving image into play. ----->Another
one of the already traditional annual events of (S8) is dedicated to an invited
festival, a kindred spirit of (S8) in other territories. This year is the turn
of Crossroads, the San Francisco Cinematheque Festival dedicated to
experimental cinema, whose programmer Steve Polta will
bring a program with works by filmmakers such as Jem Cohen, Robert Todd or Mike
Hoolboom, among others. Polta, also a filmmaker, will also show a selection of
his super 8 works, films highly appreciated by critics and experts.----->To
close an edition full of amazing works, we will also see the most stimulating
and promising films made in Galicia in our section Sinais. On the one hand,
with a showing dedicated to the film editor and filmmaker Diana Toucedo (who
also works with found footage in a lyrical and reflexive way), and the
selection of Sinais en Curto, which this year brings together works by Carla
Andrade, Jaoine Camborda, Helena Girón and Samuel Delgado, among others. See
you in Coruña.

TOWARD THE CONCRETE: FILMS BY MIKE STOLTZ
Mike Stoltz is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker whose practice is dictated by
process, working directly with the tools of cinema (moving images, sound,
special effects, projection and montage) to question the familiar. His works
are rooted in a bodily encounter with the subject. This manifests on screen in
instances of engaging with performers from behind the camera, chance-based
interventions in landscape, moving the camera in concert with architectural
structures, or directly addressing the audience in through gesture and
language. His work has screened around the world at such venues as the Toronto
International Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, New York
Film Festival, Hong Kong International Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival,
The Echo Park Film Center, Buenos Aires Festival Internacional de Cine
Independente, and The Mexicali Rose Media Arts Center.
