ALL THAT PASSES BY THROUGH A WINDOW THAT DOESN'T OPEN
Sunday, come through a program of work that mindfully observes global transit, 
labor, transience and place with two open and curious glances toward overlooked 
outsiders from Martin DiCicco and Braden King. [ POSTCARDS FROM ] HERE 10 min., 
2011 Braden King; [ POSTCARDS FROM ] HERE presents meditative (and, at times, 
surreal) imagery that reveals Armenia’s history, traditions and contemporary 
life in an experiential fashion as seen by outsider eyes. Its imagery is 
interwoven with first-person narratives gathered in different regions of the 
country. Like a memory or dream, [ POSTCARDS FROM ] HERE is an exploration of a 
unique geographic and temporal place, creating a rich portrait of Armenia and 
its people as seen through the lens of an intense creative journey All That 
Passes by Through a Window that Doesn’t Open 70 min., 2017 Directed by Martin 
DiCicco; A journey by rail through opportunity and regret in Azerbaijan and 
Armenia, floating through the expanse- striving to fill their days and dreams, 
as much as their pockets. Winner of the Visions du Reel Best First Film Award.

MISSED CONNECTIONS
Missed Connections celebrates recent additions to Cinematheque’s online 
bookstore through the presentation of films by Stephanie Barber, Sky Hopinka 
and Jonathan Schwartz while also celebrating the release of Canyon Cinema’s 
Cinemazine #6: Missed Connections with a selection of work by Canyon filmmakers 
that interpolates the manifold themes of the new issue. A missive to lives lost 
A state of untranslatable interiority The space between images and frames A 
gaze once glimpsed, never to be seen again An existence determined by chance 
and contingency “You cannot step into the same river twice” — Alix Blevins 
SCREENING: Stephanie Barber: The Forest Is Offended (2017). A film poem 
thinking about the physics of sound, the need sound has to vibrate and bounce 
off a molecule or atom to return to our ears; thinking about this physical 
property as a metaphor for spirituality or love. (Stephanie Barber) Sky 
Hopinka: I’ll Remember You as You Were, not as What You’ll Become (2016). An 
elegy to poet Diane Burns on the shapes of mortality, and being, and the forms 
the transcendent spirit takes while descending upon landscapes of life and 
death. (Sky Hopinka) Jonathan Schwartz: The Crack-Up (2017). The ability to 
hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the 
ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are 
hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. (F. Scott Fitzgerald: 
The Crack-Up, 1936) ~~~~~ Robert Todd: Within (2012). Within lives in a state 
that seems to resist perspectival definition, hovering somewhere between what 
is “out there” and an internally defined image space that is at once shallow 
and deep, layered and reflective, barely there and yet very much alive. It is 
twilight. (Robert Todd) Philip Hoffman: Kokoro is for Heart (1999). …features a 
sound composition and performance by poet Gerry Shikatani, and explores the 
relationships surrounding language, image and sound[…]. What is nature? What is 
natural? (Philip Hoffman) Karen Holmes: Saving the Proof (1979). A complex 
transformation of an ordinary action: a woman walking… (Margaret Ganahl, Camera 
Obscura) Josephine Massarella: One Woman Waiting (1984). …an enigmatic film of 
a symbolic encounter… Lynne Sachs: Same Stream Twice (2012) My daughter’s name 
is Maya. I’ve been told that the word maya means illusion in Hindu philosophy. 
In 2001, I photographed her at six years old, spinning like a top around me. 
Even then, I realized that her childhood was not something I could grasp but 
rather—like the wind—something I could feel tenderly brushing across my cheek. 
11 years later, […] she allows me to film her—different but somehow the same. 
(Lynne Sachs)

SCRAPBOOK PERFORMANCES: TESSA HUGHES-FREELAND / RAHA RAISSNIA
An evening of live expanded cinema performances by Tessa Hughes-Freeland and 
Raha Raissnia as the 2nd of nine performance events taking place as part of our 
current exhibition “Scrapbook (or, Why Can’t We Live Together)”. The night 
features two performances by both artists. The female psyche and perspective is 
at the forefront of Hughes-Freeland’s works “INSTINCT” (2010) and “SALO REMIX” 
(2016), intense visual collages incorporating found footage and manipulated 
live through gel, lenses and other objects in which the artist accumulates 
image and sound to “sensual overload”. Raissnia’s works “Nadir 3” (2016) and 
“Galvanoscope 4″ (2019) draw attention to the passage of time, history and the 
human condition, incorporating original still photographic imagery and found 
35mm slides respectively. The performances also involve various manipulations 
of light and lenses as well as hand-pulling hand-painted film through a 35mm 
slide projector, with live sound by the artist. Tessa Hughes-Freelandworks in a 
variety of formats and mediums, and her films have been shown in diverse 
venues, ranging from internationally prominent museums to seedy bars in gritty 
neighborhoods. Her work is best described as “confrontational, transgressive, 
provocative and poetic”. Her films have screened internationally in North 
America, Europe and Australia and in prominent museums and galleries, including 
the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the 
Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, 
and the KW Institute of Contemporary Art in Berlin. In 2018 a program of her 
films was included in the “No–Wave, Transgression” Film Series at MoMA. 
Currently 5 of her films are included in an exhibition touring museums in Asia. 
Hughes-Freeland has been a juror for several festivals, and has programmed 
extensively, most recently for “Punk Lust: Radical Provocation 1971-85 “ on 
view at The Museum of Sex. She lives and works in New York. Raha Raissnia (b. 
1968, Tehran, Iran) received her BFA from the School of the Art institute of 
Chicago in 1992 and her MFA from Pratt Institute in 2002. In the interim, her 
interest in avant-garde filmmaking led her to work at Anthology Film Archives 
(1995– 1999), where she has also exhibited. Raissnia’s work was included in All 
the World’s Futures, 56th International Art Exhibition, Venice Biennale. Recent 
solo shows were held at The Drawing Center (New York), Ab/Anbar Gallery 
(Tehran), Galeria Marta Cervera (Madrid), Galerie Xippas (Paris), and the 
Isfahan Museum of Contemporary Art (Isfahan, Iran). Raissnia’s projection 
performances have been held at the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA, 
REDCAT, Kunsthal Rotterdam, Arnolfini – Center for Contemporary Arts, the 
Drawing Center, Issue Project Room, and Emily Harvey Foundation, among others.

CHROMATIC MODERNITY: COLOR AND CINEMA OF THE 1920S
A lecture by Joshua Yumibe "The modern vein in both business and art is 
predominantly that of color. The dull and the gray have no place in our modern 
scheme of things. It is only natural, therefore, that motion pictures, the very 
furthest step forward in twentieth century entertainment, should be filmed in 
color. Motion pictures reflect the age more sensitively than most of the arts." 
- Roy Mack (1930) Color today is by and large a readymade, purchased 
prefabricated with the help of matchable color cards and digital indexes that 
allow one to choose the ideal hue, saturation, and combinations for the job at 
hand. This was not always the case, for at one time most pigments were 
profoundly expensive and required trained specialists to prepare. Our modern 
sense of color as a standardized commodity dates to the middle of the 
nineteenth century, when the colorant industry switched from natural dyes to 
cheaper anilines, allowing for color to expand rapidly across media. Cinema’s 
origins are rooted in this chromatic revolution, and the medium’s subsequent 
development through the 1920s furthered its colorful formation. As the talk 
will detail, modern changes in color’s materiality also marked a transformation 
in the industrial field; chemical, pharmaceutical, and colorant conglomerates 
emerged to reshape and standardize the research of color and its manufacturing 
methods across a range of global enterprises in the early twentieth century, 
including cinema. Such changes are reflected throughout the arts of the age, 
from Marcel Duchamp’s astounding painting Tu’m (1918), to Herbert Bayer’s 
architectural designs for a cinema (1924–1925) while at the Bauhaus, to Pathé 
films like the stenciled fashion newsreel Le home moderne (1929). Tracking the 
industrial standardization of color and cinema illuminates a structural shift 
in knowledge production during this era, which was one of the key factors that 
enabled cinema to crystalize into a vernacular medium of its own during the 
chromatic modernity of the 1920s.

TRAVIS WILKERSON PERFORMING DID YOU WONDER WHO FIRED THE GUN?
Los Angeles Filmforum and Acropolis Cinema present Travis Wilkerson Performing 
Did You Wonder Who Fired the Gun? Tuesday, July 23, 2019, 8:00 pm At the 
Velaslavasay Panorama, 1122 W 24th St, Los Angeles, CA 90007 The Los Angeles 
premiere of the film, in a rare (and possibly the last) live performance 
version! Travis Wilkerson in person! One of the leading non-fiction filmmakers 
today, Travis Wilkerson returns to Los Angeles Filmforum for the Los Angeles 
premiere of his widely-praised feature film Did You Wonder Who Fired the Gun? 
Originally developed in part as a live performance, the film now is distributed 
normally, but we will be presenting it with Wilkerson performing it live again 
in what may well be the last time he does so! A bracing excavation of family 
history, white supremacy, and the widespread traumas generated by the criminal 
treatment of African-Americans in America’s past and present, Wilkerson renders 
an ugly and irredeemable episode from his family’s past into a radical form of 
poetic activist cinema. A haunting continuation of his remarkable series of 
films stretching back to the deeply affecting masterwork An Injury to One.

BREAKING THE FRAME: A PORTRAIT OF CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN BY MARIELLE NITOSLAWSKA
Los Angeles Filmforum at MOCA presents Breaking the Frame A portrait of Carolee 
Schneemann by Marielle Nitoslawska Thursday, July 25, 2019, 7:00pm At MOCA 
Grand Avenue, 250 South Grand Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90012 Filmmaker Marielle 
Nitoslawska in person! Los Angeles premiere! The loss of pioneering artist 
Carolee Schneemann (1939-­2019) in March affected us deeply, as her boundary 
and taboo-shattering works in painting, performance, and film have helped 
revolutionize art in the past five decades. Using her own body as a medium, 
Schneemann’s most well-­known pieces Meat Joy (1964), the film Fuses (1967), 
Interior Scroll (1975, performed live at Telluride in 1977), and Up to and 
Including Her Limits (1973-­1976), shattered the taboos against the 
representation of sexuality and the female body. Yet while these pieces 
scandalized the male-­dominated art world, they also irrevocably transformed 
the history of art. The finest portrait of Schneemann, and a remarkable film by 
any regard, is Marielle Nitoslawska’s Breaking the Frame (Canada, 2012, 
digital, 100 minutes), which incredibly has not yet played in Los Angeles. Los 
Angeles Filmforum at MOCA is delighted to host the LA premiere, especially as a 
whole sequence of the film is from MOCA’s exhibition WACK! Art and the Feminist 
Revolution.

FOR A WINTER: REMEMBERING JONATHAN SCHWARTZ
In his short life, filmmaker JONATHAN SCHWARTZ (1973-2018) created a striking 
body of 16mm and digital video works of deep lyrical sensitivity and a wisdom 
beyond his years, works which embody exploration and introspection, which 
caress and patiently observe the world, and which masterfully fuse color, 
light, gesture and sound into rich and concise, if always expanding, form. 
Blending travelogue, personal reverie, familial portraiture and literary 
allusion, Schwartz’ subtle and open-ended films sing with observational grace 
while presenting intimate, at times troubled, portraits of friends and family 
in the context of an infinitely complex and conflicted global community. And 
with an uncanny kindness and a brooding sense of mortality, Schwartz’ films 
contemplate love, aging, intimacy, generation, loss and hope. (Steve Polta) 
This memorial screening presents a 64 minute selection of the artist’s 
substantial body of work, focusing on films dealing with personal and family 
life, on youth, aging and mortality; with a small selection of travelogue and 
animation works. SCREENING: for them ending (2005), for a winter (2007), in a 
year with 13 deaths (2008), happy birthday (2010), between gold (2011), a 
preface to red (2011), animals moving to the sound of drums (2013), a set of 
miniatures: a certain worry; an aging process; a kind of quiet (2014), winter 
beyond winter (2016) FULL DETAILS: https://bit.ly/2KOntEl

THE MYTH OF GENERAL INTELLIGENCE: RADIOLAB&RSQUO;S DANGEROUS IDEAS
Radiolab (WNYC Studios) has been devoted to investigating a the strange world 
since 2002. True to the podcast’s philosophical and scientific nature, their 
miniseries “G” has been investigating the concept of intelligence, from the 
attempts to define and quantify it using tests, to the dark social, political 
and cultural consequences of those efforts. Join us in listening to excerpts 
from the just-released fifth episode of the series, a story about a 
physicist-turned-geneticist who used cutting-edge techniques to develop a 
pre-natal genetic test for intelligence (which he began selling last fall), and 
discussing the thorny scientific, ethical and moral questions it raises with 
series host Pat Walters, radio documentarian Mooj Zadie and video maker Carter 
Conley.

YOURS IN SISTERHOOD, BY IRENE LUSZTIG
What might be revealed in the process of inviting strangers to act out and 
respond to 1970s feminism today? Between 2015 and 2017, hundreds of strangers 
in communities all over the US were invited to read aloud and respond to 
letters from the 70s sent to the editor of Ms. Magazine–the first mainstream 
feminist magazine in the US. The intimate, provocative, and sometimes 
heartbreaking conversations that emerge from these spontaneous performances 
make us think critically about the past, present, and future of feminism. Newly 
urgent in the aftermath of the 2016 election, YOURS IN SISTERHOOD is a 
collective portrait of feminism now and forty years ago–a project about time 
travel, embodied listening, empathy, public discourse, and the lost art of 
letter writing. Irene Lusztig in person! Los Angeles premiere! Trailer:

NOT AN ADDICT PRESENTS AN EVENING WITH MICHAEL WOODS
Not an Addict is an ongoing series of events examining experimental as it 
pertains to the thematics of the addiction curated by Devon Narine-Singh, 
filmmaker and artist in recovery. Tonight's evening welcomes filmmaker M.Woods 
on his US tour to present several works and share his process of how's 
experience with addiction has shaped him and his work. M. Woods is a 
American-Latinx media terrorist working in avant-garde film, video art, 
photography, collage, sound design, and performance. Woods' work chronicles the 
spread of the Numb Spiral, the results of a digital sickness that manifests 
itself in the codification and symbolic negation of being. His work is a 
fashioned attack against the institutional structures of white supremacy and 
the alpha male fantasy. The Numb Spiral is the point at which consciousness 
negates being, and a cruel illusion maintains control of the flailing senses. 
What begins as apathy, surreptitiously devolves into solipsism and nihilism, 
until the infected succumbs to the perception of total illusion. The Digital 
Sickness is the evil at the heart of mediated representation, and in tandem 
with spectacle and the negation of the simulacra, the Digital Sickness marches 
onwards towards the eradication of the real and the propagation of its double.
