THE FILMS AND VIDEOS OF RICHARD SERRA - PROGRAM TWO
This program includes Serra’s classic experiments with video—Television
Delivers People and Boomerang, which explore the medium’s ability to
critique commercial television and to use feedback to interrogate video’s
impact on the self—as well as the considerably lesser-known works that
immediately preceded them, including his three collaborations with Joan
Jonas, and Surprise Attack, a work shot by Babette Mangolte that hearkens
back to Serra’s first, task-based films. Paul Revere 1971, 16mm, black &
white, 9 min. Anxious Automation 1971, video, black & white, 5 min. Veil

𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in 𝟭𝟲 𝗺𝗺 - 𝟙𝟜𝟝 - Magnum Begynasium
Bruxellense presents itself as a living chronicle of the inhabitants of the
Béguinage neighbourhood in Brussels, an old, poor neighbourhood, stuck
between the old docks of the port and the main shopping avenues of the
centre. In spite of recent plans for renovation, its existence is threatened
sooner or later. Designed as an encyclopaedic inventory, the film is made up
of thirty something chapters, overlapping one another like so many pieces of
a puzzle. The film unrolls in the space and cracks of a day, beginning at
dawn to finish at night.

MASAO ADACHI. LANDSCAPE THEORY
Amid revolutionary far left movements in which Masao Adachi actively took
part as a filmmaker in the sixties, he decided to film the story of a
19-year-old boy who murdered four people in four different cities for no
apparent reason. To do so, in A.K.A. Serial Killer he created a new
approach: fukeiron, or landscape theory. Wan: Rice Bowl, Nihon University

THE FILMS AND VIDEOS OF RICHARD SERRA - PROGRAM THREE
A two-part tape of a video performance done on January 22, 1974, at 112
Greene Street (as part of the Video Performance Exhibition), structured on a
problem in game theory, a non-zero-sum game, in which both players can win
or lose at the same time, one can win more than the other, and one can win
at the others expense. Serra and Bell have used game theory as a way of
dealing with genres of commercial TV: cops and robbers in the first part,
and a quiz program in the second. – Castelli-Sonnabend Catalog (1979)
Prisoner's Dilemma In collaboration with Robert Bell. 1974, video, black &
white, 45 min.

LARRY GOTTHEIM: CHANTS AND DANCES
Renowned filmmaker Larry Gottheim returns to Los Angeles Filmforum with a
couple of classic films and the LA premieres of two new digital works. Larry
Gottheim taught film-making and cinema aesthetics at Binghamton University
until 1998. This was a program he started in the late 1960’s, the first
regular undergraduate program dealing with film as a personal art. His early
silent films such as FOG LINE, DOORWAY, BARN RUSHES are widely known. In the
1970’s he made ELECTIVE AFFINITIES, a set of 4 long films that explore
complex relationships between sound and image. While still formal and
concerned with sound and image, some later films include material that would
ordinarily be seen in a documentary mode (MACHETE GILETTE.... MAMA.) His
many years’ involvement with Vodou in Haiti led to a video work CHANTS AND
DANCES FOR HAND. His most recent film KNOT/NOT is a complex web of material
tied together by repetition and superimposition. His works have been
included in numerous museums, festivals and other venues throughout the
world.

SOLEIL ARACHNIDE
An evening of short films exploring a longing for ancestral land(s),
language(s) and imagining future possibilities of interaction or
convergence. The program borrows its title from the 1969 novel of poetry by
Mohammed Kheir Eddine-Soleil Arachnide, or “Scorpionic Sun”. Kheir’s work
has been described as “a solar intensity radiating from somewhere deep
inside, gathering from everywhere inside to radiate through a gaze that
concentrated the black sun out of the interior”. In borrowing this idea of
radiating an interior solar intensity, each film articulates unique
dualities- within the body, family, and personal and colonial archives. The
program includes work by Valentin Noujaim, Christelle Oyir, Tandis
Shoushtary, and Kengné Téguia. Curator Mounir-Aicha Soussan in person.

ennui, and the technological landscape. The screening will include Barbara
Linkevitch's Chinamoon (1975). E-mail [email protected] for address.

THE FILMS AND VIDEOS OF RICHARD SERRA - PROGRAM FOUR
Railroad Turnbridge Directed by Richard Serra . US, 1976, 16mm, black &
white, silent, 19 min. It is the bridge that causes both the landscape and
the film itself to speak; the film follows the sequence of its procedures:
turning, opening for the passing ship, turning again, closing for the
passing train. The mechanics of the bridge become the grammar of the film. –
Tom Holert, Richard Serra: Films and Videotapes, Kunstmuseum Basel (2017)
Steelmill/Stahlwerk Directed by Richard Serra in collaboration with Clara
Weyergraf. Germany, 1979, 16mm, black & white, silent, 29 min. Serra’s film
about the production of his sculpture Berlin Block (for Charlie Chaplin)
(1977) at the Henrichshütte Hattingen steelworks in the Ruhr Valley, begun
roughly one year before the first major wave of strikes in the German steel
industry since the war, combines conventions from documentary film,
agitprop, black-and-white photographic studies and architectural film. – Tom
