7:30 pm, Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd.
THE FILMS OF BAUM & LO AND ORPHAN FILMS FROM THE CENTER CINEMA CO-OP 
Los Angeles premieres, with Thomas Baum and Josh B Mabe in person! 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. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at 
https://bpt.me/4034613 or at the door. For more information:

PEGGY AHWESH'S SHE PUPPET + DORIS WISHMAN'S INDECENT DESIRES 
In conjunction with the reissue of Peggy Ahwesh’s zine The Films of Doris 
Wishman—newly published in an expanded edition by Light Industry and Inpatient 
Press—we’re hosting a special Ahwesh/Wishman double bill. She Puppet, Peggy 
Ahwesh, 2001, digital projection, 15 mins “An homage to and commentary on the 
female action-adventure game Tomb Raider and its busty virtual superstar Lara 
Croft. I played the game on my computer and simultaneously recorded the 
gameplay onto videotape. Then I treated the material as ‘found footage’ and 
recut it in order to rethink the game and consider questions about women, 
virtual bodies, role-playing, identity issues, and fandom. Ignoring the 
original drive of action, I make Lara explore the game environment at the edges 
of the programming world created for her. The limited inventory of Lara's 
gestures and the militaristic scenarios of the game are considered from a 
feminist perspective in analyzing the symbolic feminine and the popular culture 
that has sprung up around Lara Croft. Quotations are from three authors who 
philosophize the alien, the clone, and the orphan: The Book of Disquiet by 
Fernando Pessoa, The Female Man by Joanna Russ, and the jazz mystic Sun Ra.” - 
PA Indecent Desires, Doris Wishman, 1968, digital projection, 75 mins Beginning 
in the mid-’60s, Ahwesh explains, Wishman “began to produce roughies, a popular 
style at the time that made explicit the relationship between libido and 
violence with rough sex play and brutal treatment of women, with very little 
sexual contact, emotions, or touching. These films have the women endlessly 
undressing out of their black lace lingerie (a practically Victorian trope), 
caressing themselves and preening in front of full-length mirrors. As a 
filmmaker her sense of editing construction has the strangest and most highly 
developed internal logic; it makes up its own film language.”

ANDY WARHOL (1965, 17 min, 16mm) "Marie Menken pioneered the radical 
transformation of the handheld, somatic camera into a formal matrix that would 
underpin an entire work in the films she made between 1945 and 1965. […] The 
extraordinary cinematic style that I have been calling Menken's somatic camera 
has been her most influential gift to the American avant-garde cinema. It is an 
embodiment of the Emersonian invention of a pictorial air, the spiritual 
emancipation automatically brought about by 'certain mechanical changes, a 
small alteration in our local position.' It is also analogous to the equally 
Emersonian somatic theory of poesis Charles Olson was developing at nearly the 
same time: his emphasis on breath and proprioception corresponds to Menken's 
identification of the camera with her body in motion and her cultivation of the 
respiratory and nervous agitation of the handheld camera even in its quietest 
moments." -P. Adams Sitney, EYES UPSIDE DOWN Total running time: ca. 65 min.

THE EARLY FILMS OF PENNY SLINGER 
Penny Slinger (b. 1947, London) is a Los Angeles-based artist who has been 
exploring the connection between eroticism, mysticism, feminism, and art for 
over fifty years. During her studies at the Chelsea College of Art in late 
1960s London, Slinger became interested in the world of dreams and myths, which 
deeply influenced her own practice, mining Surrealist imagery to plumb the 
depths of the feminine psyche and subconscious. This led her to discover the 
toolkit of Tantra and to examine and express the more liberated realms of 
superconsciousness. Using a range of media including photographic collage, 16mm 
film, and sculpture, Slinger's lexicon of symbols examines how a woman is seen 
and how she sees herself - woman as goddess, woman as object of desire, and 
other lenses. In these works Slinger presents the body (often her own) and its 
parts as vehicles for expressing states of consciousness. Her bodies are not 
passive, but instead actively investigate all aspects of the psychological and 
sensual worlds of the awakening feminine. In these ways Slinger boldly unveils 
the taboo, the transgressive, the sacred, and the profane. PENNY SLINGER IN 
PERSON! The first four titles presented here are short films created by Slinger 
in 1969, some directly related to her thesis presentation at Chelsea College of 
Art. Incorporating her visual art and other projects of that time - drawings, 
sculpture, installation, and performance - these short works explore the young 
artist's burgeoning interests in dreams, myths, the feminine psyche, and the 
patriarchal consumption of the female form. Shot in a derelict mansion in 
Northamptonshire, LILFORD HALL is a collaboration with filmmaker Peter 
Whitehead, featuring Slinger and Suzanka Fraey. Never finished, the uncut 
footage documents the artists experimenting with themes of the unconscious and 
the metaphysical, imagery that would later serve as material for the hauntingly 
surreal series of collages in Slinger's seminal publication, "An Exorcism" 
(1977). Slinger stated of this series, "the images and accompanying captions 
present a record of the 'unraveling' of the Self from dualistic limitations and 
the projections of others. It sets an example for psychic confrontation and 
transformation." 1969 EXHIBIT (1969, 3.5 min, 16mm-to-digital, silent) MOUTHS

EC: ROBERT NELSON 
THE GREAT BLONDINO (1967, 42 min, 16mm. Preservation print, with thanks to the 
Academy Film Archive.) "The original Blondino was a 19th-century tightrope 
artist who among other feats crossed Niagara Falls trundling a wheelbarrow. In 
this film, Nelson sees Blondino as a metaphor for those who still try. Too 
subtle to be allegorical, the picture is in the shape of a quixotic search in 
which the goal is the journey and the means is the end." -MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 
"It is…difficult to get at the rich visual texture that is the film's most 
striking attribute. Long stretches are concerned with Blondino's visions, 
dreams, and dreams within dreams. The film unfolds in brief recurring patterns 
of imagery. Even the more straightforward sections are dense with interpolated 
newsreel and TV commercial footage, visual gags, and homemade special effects. 
The net effect is funny, seamless, and elusive." -J. Hoberman, "A Filmmakers 
Filming Monograph" & BLEU SHUT (1970, 33 min, 16mm. Preservation print, with 
thanks to the Academy Film Archive.) "Boat-name quizzes, dogs, cuts from 
Dreyer's JOAN OF ARC in montage with a sultry whore, a car running up a ramp 
and crashing, pornography, a passionate embrace by a thirties hero and heroine; 
all somehow implicating Dreyer and Joan in the perverse synthesis of sex and 
technology. What's happening here? Basically Nelson is leaving things unsaid."

ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES 
We’re thrilled to welcome filmmaker Nellie Kluz all the way from the Windy City 
to present ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES, a program comprised almost entirely of NYC 
Premieres of her short documentary works. Vadim Rizov praised her documentary 
style in Filmmaker Magazine with the observation that ”Kluz’s inquisitive eye 
captures glimpses of often kitschy or strange events without abandoning 
well-meaning curiosity.” She has been a Flaherty Seminar Fellowship, and was 
the recipient of the Princess Grace Film Award and a Rooftop Films Short Film 
Grant, and as well as named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s recent “25 Faces of 
Independent Film”. This program of her short videos explores collective belief 
systems and fantasies, and the infrastructures that support them. They look for 
loopholes: in the flow of time; the economic grind; and prosaic reality. 
Emphasizing personal contact and experiential knowledge, these works come out 
of open-ended encounters with various kinds of believers and myth-makers. In 
these films, Kluz considers the appeal of ritualized spaces and contact zones 
for people with competing ideologies. The camera pays close attention to the 
textures of faces, voices, and surfaces, using observational documentary 
approaches to carefully grasp and re-arrange details. Kluz will be in 
attendance and in conversation with collaborator LJ Frezza following the 
program. ------------ PROGRAM ------------ MUST SEE Nellie Kluz, 2016, 13 min.,

Kluz, 2013, 16 min Gold is a commodity that thrives in uncertain economic 
climates. There’s a harvest every day as scrap dealers comb through excess 
metal from flusher times, buying up discarded gold to re-sell to refineries.

Nellie Kluz, 2018, 30 min Behind the scenes at a Christian passion play staged 
in the Ozark mountains. A dramatization of the last days and resurrection of 
Jesus Christ, the play is a decades-long evangelizing project, tourist 
attraction, and spectacle – part religious ritual, part community theater. In a 
space where associations are swirling, the cast and crew speak about their 
experiences, memories, and fears. runtime: 94 min.

PAT O’NEILL: WHERE THE CHOCOLATE MOUNTAINS 
Pat O’Neill in person! Filmforum is delighted to host a return screening of Pat 
O’Neill’s latest film, Where the Chocolate Mountains, which has only played 
once before in Los Angeles. “A tour de force of digital art, Where the 
Chocolate Mountains (2015, 55 min.) is a major new opus from Pat O’Neill, one 
of the all-time guiding lights of the Los Angeles avant-garde, whose pioneering 
use of the optical printer marked a creative breakthrough in composite 
image-making in cinema. Continuing in the vein of his renowned 35mm epics Water 
and Power (1989), Trouble in the Image (1996) and Decay of Fiction (2002), the 
founding CalArts faculty member combines haunting cinematography of the
