Using various technical and formal approaches including time lapse, optical printing, animation, and digital image manipulation, Hammer has regularly embraced the presence and physicality of film to deeply mine the rapture of subjective vision.

This program of dialogue-free short films and live music is about the magic and immersion of play - musical or visual, solitary or collaborative - and is designed for children of all ages. Augusta Palmer's award-winning shorts NUGATORY (2013), featuring the interactive artwork of Leo Rabkin, and A IS FOR AYE-AYE: AN ABECEDARIAN ADVENTURE (2015), inspired by the centennial of the New York Public Library's Picture Collection, will be screened with live scores performed by an ensemble led by CreArtBox's Guillermo Laporta and Josefina Urraca. The program will also feature an original composition and video performance by Guillermo Laporta and world premieres of several new short films directed by Chris Arnold, which have been created especially for world premiere, live performances of music from Greg Karnilaw's CD, MOMENTS OF SOLITUDE. 12/8 New York, New York: MONO NO AWARE http://mononoawarefilm.com/mono-no-aware-xi_program <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=903d19ce8a&e=f36020cad0> 7 pm, LightSpace Studios 130 Thames Street, Bushwick, Brooklyn UNDER THE CLOAK OF DARKNESS MONO XI Under the Cloak of Darkness is a presentation of 9 international artists working on Super 8mm and 16mm film as part of performance and/or installation.

Kristin Cato (on violin) and Cindy Sawprano (on musical saw!) prime the party with the world premiere of Loop 8, a Live Film performance that whirlpools us into the infinite recursions of that wonder-filled number. Finished at Wexner, Vanguard Awardee Penny Lane (Nuts, Pain of Others) transmutes the dross of The Bachelor dating show into the gold of her Normal Appearances, another of Lane’s savvy super-cuts that both appreciate and de-naturalize mass media. Dominic Gagnon, the controversial French-Canadian archeologist of the present, exports the West Coast premiere of Going South, the second in his compass tetralogy that manages to capture the unique ice crystals in the ever-roiling YouTube cloud enveloping our orb, so to artfully organize those first-person confessionals into a new kind of crowd-sourced documentary. ALSO: Katherin McInnis too delivers a debut, Eye of the Needle, a marvelous re-visitation of WPA Farm Security photos, scored by Matthew Leonard. PLUS pieces by David King (in person), Soda_Jerk, Rachel Woolf, Rachel Evans, Bruce Conner (!), and a sneak peek at Baldwin/Dziesinski’s Bomb Time. *$8 SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2018 12/9 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=ce9eabda06&e=f36020cad0> 2:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue PLAY: WORDLESS FILMS WITH LIVE MUSIC PLAY is a collaboration between filmmakers Augusta Palmer and Chris Arnold, composer Greg Karnilaw, and the acclaimed musicians and composers of CreArtBox.

S. HAMRAH PRESENTS BORIS BARNET'S BY THE BLUEST OF SEAS Presented with n+1 By the Bluest of Seas, Boris Barnet, 1935, digital projection, 69 mins Introduced by A. S. Hamrah "Eisenstein apart...Barnet must be considered the best Soviet filmmaker." - Jacques Rivette Coinciding with the publication of The Earth Dies Streaming, a new collection of film criticism by A. S. Hamrah, Light Industry and n+1 present a screening of Boris Barnet's By the Bluest of Seas, a neglected masterwork of early Soviet cinema. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2018 12/13 San Francisco, California: Canyon Cinema http://www.canyoncinema.com <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=bdcf1df4b9&e=f36020cad0> 6:30pm, 1275 Minnesota St CANYON CINEMA: STINKY WIENERS AND DREAMY BEAVERS For our final program this fall, Canyon Cinema will present Stinky Wieners and Dreamy Beavers, a film program of short works by trailblazing queer filmmaker and artist Curt McDowell. All films are recently restored by the Academy Film Archive, shown on newly created 16mm prints screening for the first time in the Bay Area -- Curt McDowell's adopted home and the site of much of his raunchy, autobiographical, comic, playful and unabashed work. Standing as essential portraits of Curt's milieu and one of San Francisco's many vanishing cultures, these films possess a life and vibrance that continues to endure. The program is introduced by Jon Davies, PhD student in Art History at Stanford focusing on queer and cinematic scenes, and is followed by a conversation between Davies and Melinda McDowell, Curt's sister and longtime collaborator and star. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2018 12/14 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=447d4dc1b4&e=f36020cad0> 8:00 PM, 32 Second Avenue TERROR NULLIUS by Soda_Jerk. NEW YORK CITY PREMIERE! FILMMAKERS IN PERSON! Soda_Jerk are a twoÂperson art collective who work at the intersection of documentary and speculative fiction. Hailing from Australia but based in New York since 2012, they are fundamentally interested in the politics of images: how they circulate, whom they benefit, and how they can be undone. Their sampleÂbased practice takes the form of films, video installations, cutÂup texts, and lecture performances. Anthology hosted them in 2015 for a Show & Tell program showcasing their genuinely subversive and often riotously funny body of work, and we welcome them back for the NYC premiere of their new feature-length piece, TERROR NULLIUS. A political revenge fable that offers an unÂwriting of Australian national mythology, TERROR NULLIUS works entirely within and against the official archive to achieve a queering and othering of Australian cinema. Part political satire, ecoÂhorror, and road movie, it conjures a world in which minorities and animals conspire, and notÂsoÂnice white guys finish last; where idyllic beaches host raceÂriots, governments poll loveÂrights, and the perils of hypermasculinity are overshadowed only by the enduring horror of Australia's colonizing myth of terra nullius ('nobody's land'). "TERROR NULLIUS is a euphoric 55-minute long drunken dance with a raised middle finger and I can think of nothing more Australian than that. By actively reframing the meaning of the dominantly conceived Australian film canon, Soda_Jerk powerfully and practically demonstrates Jonathan Rosenbaum's observation that film canons are 'an active process of selection rather than a passive one of reportage.' Soda_Jerk do not attempt anything so ambitious or ultimately futile as an alternate canon, but rather achieve something far more urgent: they reveal the gaps, the hypocrisies and the biases active within the canon we already have, reflective of a whole spectrum of issues and questions white Australia desperately needs to address." -Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, ARTLINK "A weird, dazzling, kinetic, dizzyingly ambitious, sensationally mishmashed beast of an Australian film, one part video art installation project, one part revisionist documentary." -THE GUARDIAN "TERROR NULLIUS is a rogue remapping of national mythology, where a misogynistic remark is met with the sharp beak of a bird, feminist bike gangs rampage, and bicentenary celebrations are ravaged by flesh-eating sheep. By intricately remixing fragments of Australia's pop culture and film legacy, TERROR NULLIUS interrogates the unstable entanglement of fiction that underpins the country's vexed sense of self." -AUSTRALIAN CENTER FOR THE MOVING IMAGE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2018 12/15 Los Angeles, California: Filmforum http://www.lafilmforum.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=fa3eb7d3b9&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 pm, UCLA Film & Television Archive, Billy Wilder Theatre, Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd., BARBARA HAMMER, SUPERDYKE: HALL OF MIRRORS By the very nature of her multifaceted identity, lesbian feminist filmmaker and artist Barbara Hammer (b. 1939) has maintained a formal fluidity in her half-century-long practice effectively unparalleled by any living moving image maker. From her first Super 8 experiment, SCHIZY (1968), Hammer gave herself permission to fearlessly follow her instincts. Through her explicit and politically-charged work of the 1970s to her material interactions and printing exercises of the 1980s and continuing with her seamless adoption of analog and digital video, Hammer’s visual lyricism and sensuality dance invariably within each of her over 80 moving image works in a conscious, active (re)writing and (re)defining of a singular cinematic language. Hall of Mirrors: Composed entirely of recently restored films from the Academy Film Archive, this program explores various modes of self-envisionment, a strong, recurring theme throughout Hammer’s art practice. Spanning verite portraiture, mythological drama, optically printed collage, and even appropriated x-ray footage, these extraordinarily diverse films are linked in their wide-ranging approaches to self-examination and Hammer’s acute awareness of being a body within a world, and within a culture. 12/15 San Francisco, California: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=f3fcdc62eb&e=f36020cad0> 8 PM, 992 Valencia Street PEOPLE'S MUSIC: DREW'S "OPEN COUNTRY" + CASH'S "RIDIN' THE RAILS" + So in tune with the current class crisis, Jesse and Glenda Drew truck in from the Valley to deliver a robust updating of their big-hearted embrace of the real proletarian roots of the Country/Western genre. Their much-anticipated historical essay situates the origins of C/W music as being drawn from the same well as “hillbilly” or “folk”, written from the perspectives of the marginal poor...but appropriated by post-War corporate consolidation of broadcast radio audiences and McCarthy’s anti-communism. Some 5 years after their last luv-fest here, the Drews delight us again with new developments from their researches and interviews—focusing particularly on the dobro, Irish Aires, and the Hawaiian pedal steel guitar. CO-BILLED is the Premiere Revival of a truly obscure 16mm treasure, Ridin’ the Rails, an irresistible tribute to the nation’s train system, guided by narration and songs by Mr. Johnny Cash himself! A delicious 45-min. slice of authentic Americana happily surviving since its 1974 release, Cash here re-enacts the most important events in US railway history. Come early for the Reluctant Trucker on banjo, Country Corner dancing, and copious moonshine!

"Feel the distorted guitars, wailing vocals, and pounding drums as Anthology takes you back to the heyday of psychedelic music. Rather than settling for the most obvious choices - although some canonical artists are featured - this program travels around the world in 90 minutes. Showcasing bands from the U.S., U.K., France, West Germany, Brazil, Turkey, Denmark, and Japan, the selection demonstrates how psychedelia became a lingua franca that was transformed by different cultures. While American TV rarely took the counterculture seriously in the late 1960s and early 70s, European TV programs let rock groups play 8-minute long songs and allowed them to take the piss out of the interviewer. Enjoy your mind trip, but don't trip on your mind." -Steve Erickson 12/16 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=72c10175e8&e=f36020cad0> 8:00 PM, 32 Second Avenue TERROR NULLIUS by Soda_Jerk.
