Bosque de Chapultepec ISMO ISMO ISMO--"MIRADA FORáNEA" Ismo Ismo Ismo: Experimental Film in Latin America/Cine experimental en América Latina Views from Outside A traveling shot, in which the camera moves horizontally and smoothly through space, is a basic element of film language. This program takes traveling shots as its point of departure: the sensation of movement, displacement, exile, as well as not understanding what’s being said, being out of place, and entering into foreign exchanges. Leandro Katz takes a rigorous and deceptively simple approach to a roll of Super 8 film shot on the periphery of an archaeological site in Guatemala. This modest short film joins the concerns of structural film—the fundamental tension between still photography and the illusion of cinematic movement, and the complex calendric calculations of the ancient Maya architects of the nearby ruins of Quiriguá. Edgar Jorge-Baralt travels through Southern California, finding echoes of his home country, Venezuela. Macarena Cordiviola takes the writings of French modernist poet Blaise Cendrars on a road trip enacting multiple and simultaneous displacements. Felipe Esparza explores the journey of the spirit outside of the body in a black and white translation of the Quechua’s Ayahuasca experience. Louise Botkay uses ‘Vertières’ as a portal to time travel to the battle that gave Latin America its first independence from European colonialism. Dalia Huerta follows the circulation of commodities around the globe, especially the archetypal Latin American export, the banana, and weaves together an idiosyncratic essay about the values associated with these objects. La Mirada Foránea Un travelling, una toma en la que la cámara se desliza horizontalmente y fluidamente por el espacio, es un elemento básico del lenguaje cinematográfico. Este programa toma los travellings como punto de partida: la sensación de movimiento, el desplazamiento, el exilio, la confusión y disonancia, el dislocamiento y el contacto con lo foráneo. Leandro Katz trabaja de forma rigurosa y aparentemente simple con un rollo de Super 8 filmado en la periferia de un sitio arqueológico en Guatemala. Este modesto cortometraje comparte las preocupaciones del cine estructuralista —la tensión fundamental entre la fotografía fija y la ilusión de movimiento cinematográfico— y los complejos cálculos astronómicos de los antiguos arquitectos mayas en las ruinas cercanas de Quiriguá. Edgar Jorge-Baralt viaja por California del sur, encontrando ecos de su país natal, Venezuela. Macarena Cordiviola lleva los escritos del poeta francés modernista Blaise Cendrars a un road trip recreando desplazamientos múltiples y simultáneos. Felipe Esparza explora el viaje del espíritu fuera del cuerpo en una traducción en blanco y negro de una experiencia quechua con ayahuasca. Louise Botkay usa ‘Vertières’ como un portal para viajar en el tiempo y llegar a la primera guerra de independencia del colonialismo europeo en América Latina. Dalia Huerta sigue la circulación de mercancías alrededor del mundo, especialmente del producto de exportación arquetípico de Latinoamérica, el plátano, creando un ensayo idiosincrático sobre los valores asociados a este producto. 10/8 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=a522e6392d&e=f36020cad0> http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue JONAS MEKAS, PROGRAM 1: LABORATORIUM ANTHOLOGY I LEAVE CHELSEA HOTEL (Filmed 1967/edited 2009, 4 min, 16mm-to-digital. Camera: Gideon Bachmann. I am exiting the Chelsea Hotel and proceed towards Seventh Avenue where I catch a taxi.) ORCHARD STREET (Filmed 1953/1975/edited 2010, 3 min, 16mm-to-digital, silent) Footage of Orchard Street from 1953 and 1975, put together for an opening of James Fuentes Gallery in 2010 on Delancey Street. You see the commercial bustle of Orchard Street before it turned into art gallery street. I lived at 95 Orchard during 1953-55, after my escape from Brooklyn…. LABORATORIUM ANTHOLOGY 1999, 63 min, digital Scenes from the life and work at Anthology Film Archives. Much of the footage in this video was shot by Auguste Varkalis. Total running time: ca. 75 min. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2019 10/9 Berkeley, CA United States: Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive 7:00 PM, 2155 Center St FILM SCREENING: JOURNEYS BEYOND THE COSMODROME Artist, filmmaker, and educator Jeanne C. Finley's experimental documentary 'Journeys Beyond the Cosmodrome' (2019) will screen at BAMPFA in conjunction with the Mill Valley Film Festival 42. This screening will be followed by a live rendition of one of the film's original songs, composed and sung by Kri Schlafer, alongside other members of the Threshold Choir. A conversation between Finley, Brandon Castro, and his mother -all of whom have been involved with the Los Altos non-profit organization Help One Child - will follow. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2019 10/10 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=7c43077804&e=f36020cad0> http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue EC: ERNIE GEHR "Ernie Gehr [makes] cinematic magic, often from the least likely materials. Indeed, Gehr's most famous film, SERENE VELOCITY (1970), in which the filmmaker transforms an institutional hallway in the basement of a classroom building at the State University of New York at Binghamton into a nexus of visual and conceptual energy, merely by adjusting his stationary camera's zoom lens every four frames for twenty-three minutes, can be read as Gehr's manifesto. For Gehr the most everyday spaces and the most mundane actions offer the imaginative filmmaker the most interesting potential. No other filmmaker, with the exception of Michael Snow, has so relentlessly and so productively explored the capacity of filmmaking to develop the visual (and auditory) opportunities afforded by the cinematic apparatus itself." -Scott MacDonald, A CRITICAL CINEMA 5Brand new prints! REVERBERATION (1969, 23 min, 16mm) SERENE VELOCITY (1970, 23 min, 16mm, silent) & STILL 1971, 54 min, 16mm Total running time: ca. 105 min. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2019 10/11 Brooklyn, NY United States: Light Industry <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=55ac29bc02&e=f36020cad0> http://www.lightindustry.org/ 10:00 AM, 155 Freeman St CAROLYN LAZARD'S A RECIPE FOR DISASTER A Recipe for Disaster, Carolyn Lazard, 2018, digital projection, 27 mins (looped) 10/11 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=48a4b28a00&e=f36020cad0> http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:00 PM, 32 Second Avenue THE 10TH ANNUAL EXPERIMENTAL LECTURE: NATHANIEL DORSKY (FREE EVENT!) THE 10TH ANNUAL EXPERIMENTAL LECTURE: NATHANIEL DORSKY: MONTAGE AND THE HUMAN SPIRIT Presented by New York University's Cinema Studies Department and Undergraduate Film & TV Department. "For most of my life, my films have been the marriage of external circumstances as seen through the needs of my own psyche. There is no other plan as such. Occasionally these explorations result in a film that is not quite what I would call a public film, something, perhaps, to be shown as camera original in the privacy of one's apartment. I would like to use the rare opportunity of this lecture format to show two of these intimate works as original Kodachrome, each quite different from the other. One is called LUX PERPETUA II (1999-2002/2016, 31 min, 16mm) and the other, OSSUARY (1995-2005/2016, 43 min, 16mm). They are made up of outtakes from decades of shooting 16mm Kodachrome." -Nathaniel Dorsky Since 2008, NYU's Experimental Lecture Series has featured veteran filmmakers who immerse themselves in the world of alternative, experimental film. The intention is to lay bare an artist's challenges rather than their successes, to examine the gnawing, ecstatic reality of the work of making art. Previous speakers for the Experimental Lecture Series have been Peggy Ahwesh, Craig Baldwin, Bradley Eros, Ernie Gehr, Barbara Hammer, Ken Jacobs, Jonas Mekas, Carolee Schneemann, and M.M. Serra. Programmed by Lynne Sachs and Dan Streible.This program is free and open to the public!

The weeks and days preceding the solstice were magically alive with crisp, cool breezes, bright, warm sunlight, and a general sense of heartbreaking clarity. THE DREAMER is born out of this most poignant San Francisco spring." -Nathaniel Dorsky World Premiere! CALYX (2018, 13 min, 16mm, silent) "I photographed CALYX during the rather tense 21 days preceding my open-heart surgery to replace an aortic valve and then shipped the footage off to the lab the day before my operation. I edited the 21 rolls about three weeks after coming home from a rather dramatic nine days in the hospital. I hope this little film captures some of the feelings of dread mixed with an elegiac feeling for our world. CALYX is the husk surrounding the tender bud of a soon to be flower." -Nathaniel Dorsky COLOPHON (FOR THE ARBORETUM CYCLE) (2018, 13.5 min, 16mm, silent) "COLOPHON has three sections. It is in the spirit of the early Chinese landscape colophons, a text added to the horizontal scroll at a later date from when the landscape itself was enacted. COLOPHON was not made to be shown along with the ARBORETUM CYCLE, but a new thing, a spring later, a different maker, so to speak." -Nathaniel Dorsky World Premiere! APRICITY (2019, 22 min, 16mm, silent) "The title APRICITY refers to the warmth of the sun in winter. It is an homage to the writer Jane (Brakhage) Wodening. In speaking to her I mused, 'perhaps your age is the winter and you are the warmth of the sun.'" -Nathaniel Dorsky Total running time: ca. 75 min. 10/12 San Francisco: Other Cinema <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=8f966a7e62&e=f36020cad0> http://www.othercinema.com/ 8:30, 992 Valencia Street PSYCHO-GEO2 OCT.12: MARK STREET’s NYC + GLENNA ALLEE’s HANFORD + PAUL ECHEVERRIA’s DETROIT + Our second LOCUS FOCUS is plotted out along three axes. Mark Street returns from NY with his 100 Sides of a Sphere book-launch and a few new movies: After the gloriously granular revival of his 16mm Winter Wheat, he unspools a sneak peak at Work Songs (inspired by Studs Terkel) and premieres Morning, Noon, Night; Water, Land, and Sky, on the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The program’s 2nd component is a bundle of briefs on the “Nuclear West”, anchored by (in person) Glenna Cole Allee’s Hanford Reach, a cautionary montage on the most toxic plutonium dump in North America. Glenna’s landscape is extended south to the Trinity Site by Georg Koszulinski’s New Mexico Death Wish Diatribe (world premiere), and even to the Mexican frontier by Laura Poitras’ Triple Chaser (narr. David Byrne), on the sleazy dealer whose weapons are used against the refugees on the desert border. Our 3rd vector points to famously failed Detroit--Paul Echeverria’s Glitchtown, Dustin Dehah’s God Is an Artist (on Shephard Fairey’s mural), and an exc. from Sabine Gruffat’s I Have Always Been a Dreamer. Come early for Sharon Trahan’s space-time samples of the Salton Sea! *$7.77 10/12 Syracuse, NY: Redhouse Arts Center, 400 South Salina Street 1:00 PM, 400 South Salina Street BLACK MARIA FILM FESTIVAL COMING TO THE SYRACUSE FILM FESTIVAL The Thomas Edison Black Maria Film Festival presents a program of award-winning short films as part of the Syracuse Film Festival on Saturday afternoon October 12th at 1:00PM at the Redhouse in Theater Two, First Program at 1:00PM.

Basically, part of my job as an archivist and curator is to look at prints of films, whether they’re new preserved/restored prints, or existing archival prints I’m checking as reference, or sometimes just films I need to look at to further familiarize myself with an artist’s body of work. I’m perpetually behind on this, and it occurred to me that instead of looking at films alone at the archive, it would be fun to instead open up the process to share with an audience. The catch is that the titles will not be announced in advance! However, I promise that these will be films well worth looking at. Films will primarily screen on 16mm, in either newly struck prints or in existing archival prints, and will span a wide range of time, content, authorship, and style. I will do my best to mix up a nice variety of films for each program and will give a little background info on each film and its preservation at the show. Program length will vary, but will usually be between 90-120 minutes (including talking). I look forward to sharing these films with you and hearing what you think! We really filled up last time, so arrive early if you can!” (Mark Toscano) 10/13 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=a8f1db9796&e=f36020cad0> http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue NATHANIEL DORSKY: NYC PREMIERES THE DREAMER (2016, 19 min, 16mm, silent) "This year our mid-summer's night was adorned with a glorious full moon.
