REDCAT, in collaboration with Los Angeles Filmforum, welcomes UK legend Malcolm Le Grice for his first California screening in decades. One of the most compellingly original and radical artist-theorists in the history of the post-war moving image, Le Grice has been innovating at the center and the fringes of time-based media for over fifty years, embracing and exploring the signification of images, multiple projection, and the materiality of media. Le Grice’s body of work functions as an illuminating and rigorous investigation of the fundamental form, essence, and politics of cinema, and this program will span and celebrate the breadth and richness of his singular career. Malcolm Le Grice’s visit made possible by a generous grant from the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts. In person: Malcolm Le Grice “Malcolm Le Grice is by far the most important film artist working today in England... His work is serious, inspired, inspiring, original, very beautiful – and deals with the basic capabilities of cinema...” – Jonas Mekas, The Village Voice "An entire alternative, parallel history of cinema can be constructed through the work of artist and experimental filmmaker Malcolm Le Grice.” – BFI "Malcolm Le Grice has produced a vast body of work since 1965 incorporating single-screen films, expanded cinematic performances and three-screen digital video works. Pieces such as Castle 1 (1966), Berlin Horse (1970), Horror Film (1971) and Threshold (1972) are canonical, but in the present era of 'digital aesthetics' there are other avenues of his work and biography that have become increasingly significant. – LUX Curated by Steve Anker, Bérénice Reynaud and Mark Toscano as part of the Jack H. Skirball Series. Funded in part by the Ostrovsky Family Fund WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2019 2/13 Madrid: Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia http://www.lafilmforum.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3 &id=f19a061214&e=f36020cad0> 7:00 P.M., Calle de Santa Isabel, 52, 28012 Madrid, Spain ISMO ISMO ISMO Programa 4 Meta: el cine critica al cine DuraciÛn: 72 min Luis Ospina y Carlos Mayolo. Agarrando Pueblo 1977, 29 min, 16mm transferido a digital, Colombia. Daniel Santiago. Duelo 1979, 3 min, Super 8/16mm, color, sonido, Brazil. Ximena Cuevas.

ChapucerÌas 1987, 11 min, color, sonido, 35mm transferido a digital, Cuba Mostrar menos En un modo reflexivo, los realizadores de este programa contemplan su medio elegido, su historia, caracterÌsticas definitorias y movimientos icÛnicos. Agarrando pueblo (1977) de Luis Ospina y Carlos Mayolo es uno de los puntos de partida de esa tradiciÛn del meta-cine. En el filme hay una reflexiÛn sobre la representaciÛn de la pobreza en AmÈrica Latina, producida por cineastas locales privilegiados y financiada por fondos europeos en busca del elusivo ìrealî en el cine del Tercer Mundo. Ospina y Mayolo acompaÒaron el estreno parisino de 1978 de Agarrando pueblo con un manifiesto titulado ìøQuÈ es la pornomiseria?,î que representa un nuevo nivel de autoconciencia y crÌtica con respecto a la percepciÛn extranjera del cine latinoamericano. En Souvenirs de Cannes, Teo Hern·ndez presenta una mirada extranjera y oblicua sobre el espect·culo en torno al Festival de Cannes. Ximena Cuevas en CinÈpolis, la capital del cine (2003) presenta una inquietante perspectiva interna sobre el mundo cotidiano de la creaciÛn y consumo de im·genes. Daniel Santiago en Duelo (1979) y Claudio Tozzi en Fotograma (1973) logran giros conceptuales que se convirtieron en cl·sicos de la escena Super 8 brasileÒa en los aÒos setenta. 2/13 San Francisco, CA United States: San Francisco Cinematheque http://www.sfcinematheque.org <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3 &id=4ebab8f805&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, ATA, 992 Valencia St CELEBRATING JONAS MEKAS Jonas Mekas (1922–2018), tireless advocate for the underdog, was without a doubt the world’s foremost advocate for personal/underground/avant-garde cinema. As a poet, publisher, filmmaker, curator, critic, archivist, rabble rouser and hopeless romantic, his cultural influence cannot be underestimated. Born in Semeniskiai, Lithuania, Mekas emigrated to the U.S. in 1949 (after imprisonment in a Germen labor camp and life in a displaced persons camp), fell in love with New York City and immediately took to filmmaking, a practice he maintained to the end of his life, eventually pioneering the personal diary into an epic film genre. By 1955 he was co-publisher (with his brother Adolfas) of Film Culture, a journal articulating the aesthetics of underground cinema which was published quarterly until 1995, while his Village Voice column “Movie Journal”—which ran 1958–1978—presented weekly updates on the New York underground scene of the day while cultivating community and bracingly attacking mainstream cinema. A visionary infrastructuralist, Mekas’ establishment of the Film-Makers’ Cooperative (in 1962) and Anthology Film Archives (in 1970) ensured that underground and personal film would be preserved and cherished for generations. In this screening San Francisco Cinematheque and Canyon Cinema celebrate the life of Jonas Mekas with a special screening of his 1997 film BIRTH OF A NATION (1997): 160 portraits/appearances, sketches and glimpses of avant-garde, independent filmmakers and film activists, filmed 1955—1996, a celebration of Mekas’ artistic community and adopted homeland.

Malcolm Le Griceís visit made possible by a generous grant from the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts. Designated by the British Film Institute as ìprobably the most influential modernist filmmaker in British cinema,î Malcolm Le Grice achieved global significance in the 1970s as the doyen of the group of filmmakers centered on the London Filmmakersí Coop. Often known as ìStructural- Materialists,î Le Grice and his cohorts radically extended the material-specific preoccupations of the US ìStructuralî filmmakers in an aesthetic project of unprecedented formal and theoretical ambition, precision. and clarity. Now a Professor Emeritus of the University of the Arts in London, Malcolm Le Grice is making one of his very rare visits to Los Angeles. USC is honored to welcome him. Tickets: Free but RSVP required, RSVP at https://cinema.usc.edu/events/reservation.cfm?id=43133 This screening is free of charge and open to the public Please bring a valid USC ID or print out of your reservation confirmation, which will automatically be sent to your e-mail account upon successfully making an RSVP through this website.

ImpresiÛn de una guerra 2015. 26 min, 16mm transferido a digital, color, sonido, Colombia/Francia Mostrar menos El cine experimental en AmÈrica Latina no ha escapado del impacto de distintos levantamientos sociales y diversas formas de violencia. En muchos de estos contextos, la resistencia, e incluso el comentario social, puede ser un proyecto precario y muchas veces peligroso. Este programa explora algunas de estas expresiones. En los ochenta, durante la guerra en El Salvador, el colectivo Los Vagos realizÛ varios documentales y una pelÌcula de ficciÛn: Zona intertidal, un tratamiento poÈtico del asesinato polÌtico de un profesor de izquierda perpetrado por los escuadrones de la muerte. En 2014 en el pueblo de Iguala, al sur de MÈxico, 43 estudiantes de la Escuela Normal Rural de Ayotzinapa fueron detenidos por los militares y entregados a una organizaciÛn criminal local. Un grupo de especialistas forenses solo ha podido identificar los restos de dos de los estudiantes desparecidos, de entre las numerosas fosas clandestinas que se descubrieron durante la investigaciÛn. Bruno Varela hace un comentario sobre este proceso en Materia oscura (2016). Zigmunt Cedinsky crea una pieza satÌrica en La guerra sin fin (Iím very Happy) (2006), mientras que en ImpresiÛn de una guerra (2015) el cineasta colombiano Camilo Restrepo visita f·bricas textiles, tatuadores, imprentas y conciertos de punk rock para ofrecer una reflexiÛn ensayÌstica del legado de dÈcadas de guerra en su tierra natal. 2/15 MontrÈal: VISIONS http://www.visionsmtl.com/nazli-dincel.html <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3 &id=bae8a79674&e=f36020cad0> 20h, la lumiËre collective [7080, rue Alexandra, #506] VISIONS | 15.02.19 | NAZLI DIN«EL | FEELINGS ARE FACTS In collaboration with La lumiËre collective, VISIONS presents : Nazlı DinÁel | Feelings are Facts [Filmmaker present | Projection 16mm] SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2019 2/16 Brooklyn, NY United States: Light Industry http://www.lightindustry.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3 &id=985f7ba678&e=f36020cad0> 7:00 PM, 155 Freeman St JONAS MEKAS'S WALDEN: DIARIES, NOTES, AND SKETCHES Walden: Diaries, Notes, and Sketches, Jonas Mekas, 1969, 16mm, 180 mins "Since 1950 I have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York, seasons of the year. On some days I shot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shot nothing. When one writes diaries, it's a retrospective process: you sit down, you look back at your day, and you write it all down. To keep a film (camera) diary, is to react (with your camera) immediately, now, this instant: either you get it now, or you don't get it at all. To go back and shoot it later, it would mean restaging, be it events or feelings. To get it now, as it happens, demands the total mastery of one's tools (in this case, Bolex): it has to register the reality to which I react and also it has to register my state of feeling (and all the memories) as I react. Which also means, that I had to do all the structuring (editing) right there, during the shooting, in the camera. All footage that you'll see in the Diaries is exactly as it came out from the camera: there was no way of achieving it in the editing room without destroying its form and content. Walden contains materials from the years 1965-69, strung together in chronological order. For the soundtrack I used some of the sounds that I collected during the same period: voices, subways, much street noise, bits of Chopin (I am a romantic), and other significant and insignificant sounds." - JM Reel 1 "New York in spring; Tony Conrad; Bibbie in Central Park; A Wedding; Breakfast in Marseilles; Cassis; Sitney leaves New Haven; Fire on 87th Street; Brakhage crosses Central Park; Carl Th.
