(ÉTUDES SUR PARIS) Restored print courtesy of CNC - Direction du patrimoine. "[This film by] writer, painter, photographer, filmmaker, producer, and passionate traveler André Sauvage…starts on the city's outskirts, exploring a landscape gradually getting more industrialized and urbanized before approaching its core. […] An elaborate expository travelogue (with intertitles indicating the various locations), the film constantly shifts to a poetic mode marked by an Impressionist predilection for water and smoke and for shifting fragments - reflections of light, parts of statues, legs of pedestrians, hectic traffic, playing children looking directly into the camera, a stray cat, a noticeably staged encounter between lovers, et cetera. Sauvage's use of tilted angles, reverse motion, fast motion, and superimpositions rarely evokes the kineticism of the metropolis, as in the films by Ruttmann and Vertov; instead, his special effects turn Paris into a place of estrangement and a site of Surreal encounters." -Steven Jacobs, THE CITY SYMPHONY PHENOMENON Preceded by: Joris Ivens RAIN / REGEN (1929, 12 min, 16mm, silent) This model "city poem" observes, as Ivens put it, the changing face of the city (Amsterdam) during the rain. Filmed at a moment's notice over the course of four months - inclement weather permitting - but edited into a single passing shower, the film is Ivens's finest gem of the 1920s. 1/12 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=dbac852b45&e=f36020cad0> 8:00 PM, 32 Second Avenue CITY SYMPHONIES: BY NIGHT Svatopluk Innemann PRAGUE BY NIGHT / PRAHA V ZÃŘI SVÄšTEL (1928, 22 min, 35mm-to-DCP, silent.

While engaging passionately and actively in avant-garde musical circles of his day, Eastman faced racist and homophobic opposition throughout his career. No recordings of Eastman’s compositions were released during his lifetime and he died destitute in 1990 at age 49. Notably, Eastman faced aggressive censorship on the occasion of a 1980 performance at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) when the titles of his compositions "Crazy Nigger" (1978), "Evil Nigger" (1979) and "Gay Guerrilla" (1979) were literally redacted from concert programs, prompting an eloquent pre-concert statement presented by Eastman prior to the concert. THE THIRD PART OF THE THIRD MEASURE (2017), by British collective The Otolith Group, features verbatim performances by Dante Micheaux and Elaine Mitchener of Eastman’s statement while celebrating the complex ecstasy of Eastman’s music. Also screening: The Otolith Group's BE SILENT, FOR THE EARS OF GOD ARE EVERYWHERE (2006), a work exploring the demand for post-political safe spaces as voiced in the visual culture of record sleeves, and Cauleen Smith's ENTITLED (2008) on the legacy of turn-of-the-century still life painter Charles Ethan Porter. SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 2019 1/13 Berkeley, CA United States: Pacific Film Archive http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=f169a8603c&e=f36020cad0> 4:00 PM, 2155 Center St HALL OF MIRRORS: FOUR FILMS BY WARREN SONBERT Warren Sonbert (1947–1995) was one of the seminal figures working in American experimental film before his premature death from complications relating to AIDS. Hall of Mirrors (1966), made while Sonbert was a student at New York University, is a triptych in which each part rhymes beautifully with the whole; it features cameos by Warhol superstars Rene Ricard and Gerard Malanga. Divided Loyalties (1978), The Cup and the Lip (1986), and Short Fuse (1992) use footage from Sonbert’s globetrotting life and demonstrate his expertise as a cinematographer and editor. The filmmaker’s love of the arts, music, poetry, and science and the natural world, as well as his friendships and civic engagement, are all unmistakable in the emotional tenor of his work. Our presentation will include remembrances by Sonbert’s friends and former students in addition to audio clips from the BAMPFA collection. 1/13 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=0461c8b7ad&e=f36020cad0> 4:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue CITY SYMPHONIES: THOROUGHFARES AND NEIGHBORHOODS, PROGRAM 1 Boris Kaufman LES HALLES CENTRALES (1927, 22 min, 35mm.

This iteration of Carnacki will include: Jesse Burson, Gregory Hagan, and Cheryl E. Leonard. Frequent Carnacki collaborators Jerry Smith and Lorin Murphy will be combining their projection/video-art efforts in an attempt to create a permeable membrane between the sonic and the visual realms--an immersive environment where it becomes unclear which element of the aggregate is perpetrating which effect. Admission is free but donations are greatly appreciated.

Leitão de Barros. Courtesy of the Cinemateca Portuguesa. J. Leitão de Barros's first feature film is a truly remarkable work, fusing a wide range of aesthetic influences and artistic traditions, namely the European cinematographic avant-gardes (it is consciously within the lineage of the "city symphony" genre), but also journalistic reportage or vaudeville theatre. LISBOA is a unique portrait of the cultural atmosphere of 1920s Lisbon, combining documentary sequences and staged episodes that feature over forty actors and actresses, including some of the leading names in Portuguese theater history, such as Chaby Pinheiro, Vasco Santana, Nascimento Fernandes, Estevão Amarante, Erico Braga, Berta Bivar, Augusto de Melo, Alves da Cunha, and many others.

The audience, both those present in the theater, and the ideaof an audience, is the subject of this screening. This opening program considers the act of presentation and the moment of reception - it implicates the audience, engages with direct address, plays with the authoritative voice, and explores the canned liveness of cinema.

(BERLIN, DIE SYMPHONIE DER GROSSTADT) Print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Ruttmann and company's seminal, groundbreaking film is a valentine to the "new" Berlin of the late 1920s. Beginning at dawn and ending after midnight, it shows Berliners hard at work by day and possessed by the city's thriving nightlife. Essentially a feature-length montage, the film was heavily influenced by Soviet documentary experiments like Dziga Vertov's KINO-PRAVDA and was itself very influential in fostering the "city symphony" genre and other documentary hybrid styles to come. Preceded by: László Moholy-Nagy BERLIN STILL LIFE / BERLINER STILLEBEN (1926, 8 min, 16mm) WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2019 1/16 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=e08e38022a&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue CITY SYMPHONIES: MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA by Dziga Vertov. (CHELOVEK S KINO-APPARATOM) ESSENTIAL CINEMA SCREENING - FREE FOR MEMBERS! "If Vertov had never made anything other than MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA he would still be among the cinema's greatest masters. A kaleidoscopic city symphony - conjoining Moscow, Kiev, and Odessa in one dizzying metropolis - this is Vertov's most complex film, matching the rhythms of a day to the cycle of life (birth, death, marriage, divorce) and the mechanisms of movie-making to the logic of production. Made without titles, the movie is at once a documentary portrait of the Soviet people, a reflexive essay on cinematic representation (as dazzling as it is didactic), and an ode to work itself as a process of transformation." -J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE 1/16 San Francisco, CA United States: Canyon Cinema http://www.canyoncinema.com <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=ed6277c825&e=f36020cad0> 7:00 PM, Roxie Theater, 3117 16th St NAOMI UMAN'S MALA LECHE AND UNNAMED FILM Unnamed Film (2008) 55 minutes Mala Leche (1998) 47 minutes Both films in 16mm Co-presented by Canyon Cinema Foundation Each of these films by Naomi Uman are more typically presented together with other works from her oeuvre. Mala Leche is often paired with her thesis film, Leche, which preceded it. Unnamed Film is one of the longer pieces in Uman’s Ukrainian Time Machine cycle. Viewed together these two films function as community portraits, woven around stories of immigration. Daily life, work and play, of both a small agricultural town in California’s Central valley, and a rural village in the Ukraine are portrayed though an interplay of image, sound and text. Mala Leche was made in Pixley, California, when Uman was living with the extended family of the ranchers of Central Mexico, featured in Leche. Unnamed Film was made in Legdzine, Ukraine, during a time when the filmmaker returned to live in the village her Jewish ancestors had left more than a hundred years prior, escaping persecution. Born and raised in New York City, Naomi Uman is a filmmaker, visual artist, farmer and adventurer. She works alone, often accompanied by a small dog, exploring the worlds of others and her own. The treasures found on these expeditions are manifest in small films, paintings, handmade clothing, home harvested and cooked meals and now, her first video project.

The retrospective programs will be curated by Film Love founder Andy Ditzler, and will feature audience favorites and rediscovered gems from the series’ long history. The retrospective begins on Thursday, January 17, with one of Film Love’s most popular shows: the cinema of Joseph Cornell. One of the twentieth century’s best-known artists, Joseph Cornell created surreal shadow box sculptures and collages of extraordinary appeal and complexity. Less known is that Cornell is equally influential as a filmmaker. His body of films constitutes a cinema entirely its own – like his other art, mysterious and playful in equal measure. Film Love’s first show at the High Museum of Art will feature Cornell’s rarely screened work, presented mostly in 16mm prints, the medium in which he worked.

In 1968 Tom Palazzolo, Ron Nameth, Jeff Begun, and Larry Janiak founded the Center Cinema Co-op in Chicago, IL to distribute artist films and promote independent filmmaking throughout the Midwest. Its history overlaps with so many other Chicago institutions and notables. The co-op grew from connections with Second City and the legendary Aardvark Theater. Barbara Scharres, Director of Programming at the Siskel Film Center, ran the co-op for many years. The list of members includes the founders of basically every important film institution in Chicago. In 1978 the co-op closed and the films that could not be returned to the filmmakers themselves ended up in various offices and back rooms. In 2015, while working as Program Director of Chicago Filmmakers, Josh B Mabe found a stash of those left-behind films and became enamored with the collection, which had happily survived many years in a storage room of that invaluable institution. He put together one free screening of the material, and tried in vain to locate any of the filmmakers represented. Years later, by one of those weird accidents of the internet-age, he located Thomas Baum, co-director of the 3 of the films in that served as the heart of that screening. Baum’s films, co-directed with Dennis Lo, were singled out as the highlights by the critics who had covered the screening. Baum & Lo made these 3 films in their 20s in New York City while working in the ad department at NBC. The other films in this program contain similar mysteries that hopefully will end as happily. Some of the filmmakers have been found and their families reached out to. Richard Greenberg went on to a massively successful career as a credits and title designer. His film in this screening is an early bright and melodic animation. Tickets: $10 general; $6 for students/seniors; free for Filmforum members.
