SCREENING: GUY WOUETE, BEING AWAKE
Join us for a program of short videos examining migration and displacement,
borders and non-places, by Cameroonian artist Guy Woueté. It's probably fair to
say nothing like this has ever been shown in Lockhart before. Bring a mind open
to new aesthetics and perspectives. This event is FREE! This screening is
presented in Lockhart TX by Spellerberg Projects, and is taking place at
Chaparral Coffee. It is made possible though a partnership with Vtape, an arts
organization in Toronto Canada. It was curated for Vtape by Pierre Beaudoin.

LIMITE, BY MáRIO PEIXOTO (1931)
As prelude to our Fall and Winter series Ismo Ism Ismo: Cine Experimental en
América Latina (Ism Ism Ism: Experimental Film in Latin America), Filmforum
presents the remarkable 1931 Brazilian experimental feature Limite. An
astonishing creation, Limite is the only feature by the Brazilian director and
author Mário Peixoto, made when he was just twenty-two years old. Inspired by a
haunting André Kertész photograph on the cover of a French magazine, this
avant-garde silent master¬piece centers on a man and two women lost at sea,
their pasts unfolding through flashbacks propelled by the music of Erik Satie,
Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky, and others. An early work of independent Latin
American filmmaking, Limite was famously difficult to see for most of the
twentieth century. It is a pioneering achievement that continues to captivate
with its timeless visual poetry. Possibly the Los Angeles premiere!

Oakland, California 94609: Shapeshifters Cinema
http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=744bc31dab&e=4e65756555
7:30pm, TAC: Temescal Art Center, 511 48th St
SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS Sofía Córdova with Matthew Gonzalez Kirkland
SofÃa Córdova presents a live, semi-improvised collaborative sound performance
and video screening from her ongoing series, Echoes of A Tumbling Throne (Odas
al fin de los tiempos). The score of the piece, co-written by Córdova with
Matthew Gonzalez Kirkland as part of their musical collaboration, XUXA
SANTAMARIA, will be played live by the duo alongside the video. Echoes of A
Tumbling Throne (Odas al fin de los tiempos) is a live sound and video
performance suite that imagines our world 1,500 years in the future. The
landscape of this future world provides a site for considering new realities
unfettered by the current social order while serving as a distorted lens aimed
at our present in keeping with the tradition of dystopian science fiction. This
work is concerned with lending visibility to marginalized bodies both as the
subjects performing in the work itself, and as the focus of the storylines that
make up the narrative of this work. While Córdova treads close to
ambivalence and ambiguity in terms of revealing whether or not she believes
humankind can reorganize for the better in that timespan, her work focuses on
fleshing out queer, colored and feminist realities suggesting that the
ecological doom and imbalance that permeates her world can ultimately serve as
a catalyst for a rebirth that frees those in the margins from contemporary
subjugation and racial and gender focused organization, segregation and
violence.

London, England: GX Jupitter-Larsen
7:30 PM, Cafe OTO
GX JUPITTER-LARSEN – ‘OMNIWAVE REFRESHER’
Omniwave Refresher is in three acts. The first is done as a kind of
documentary. The second act is a puppet show, and the third act is a live
action reenactment of the puppet show. Omniwave Refresher is about a scientist
who, after a failed experiment of some incomprehensible nature, heads off on a
journey to find her meaning of life. Not your typical experimental film,
Omniwave Refresher questions the format of meaning rather than the meaning of
format.

San Francisco, California 94102: San Francisco Cinematheque
http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=dc94e8c5df&e=4e65756555
7:30pm, Center for New Music, 55 Taylor St
XIN DING: BLOOD BENEATH
DING XIN: BLOOD BENEATH Ding Xin (aka Sandy Ding) In Person As prelude to
Cinematheque's Fall 2017 exhibition season, we are thrilled to present this
urgent last minute screening. Please join us for this extremely rare
presentation of sights and sounds by Beijing filmmaker Ding Xin (aka Sandy
Ding). Using hand-made film techniques (including hand-processing and DIY
printing and a beautiful, at times abject, sense of visual poetry), Ding's
films explore the permeable boundaries between being and non-being and the
cinematic paradox between photochemical materiality and the transcendent
qualities of immaterial light and sound. The anatomical and ever-rising
home-printed THE RADIO WAVE OF BLOOD BENEATH THE DIRT ICE AND FLOWERS (2006) is
a "celebration of active chemistry in the blood vine underground" (Ding) while
THE MOON (2006) portrays our planets partner in flickering emulsive
abstraction. The stately landscape study MANCOON (2007) presents lush forest
views with a sense of
an abiding presence ("the camera looks at the world and worships what it
sees*") while KOLIJEVKA (2016), a dark incantation filmed in a Croatian
cemetery, suggests peace in both the cradle and the grave. DREAM ENCLOSURE
(2014) uses (to quote the Syros Film Festival) "looping, flickering imagery and
echoing sound create an immersive and hypnotic space that hovers constantly
between reality and dream." NOTE: For this very special in-person screening,
Ding will perform live electronic soundtracks to his films RIVER IN CASTLE
(2016) a hand-made found footage horror film assembled from Croatian film lab
leftovers and PRISMS (2012; view excerpt), a scintillating amalgam of abstract
lens-work and microscopy. (Steve Polta) *Yang Qiao: "Of Sorcery and Playtime:

2pm, San Francisco Public Library - Chinatown Branch, 1135 Powell St
ATA @SFPL (SCREENING AT CHINATOWN BRANCH)
The Fall of the I-Hotel (Curtis Choy, 1983) 58 minutes, color On August 4,
1977, thousands of people surrounded the International Hotel at Kearny and
Jackson Streets, taking a last stand against powerful real estate interests to
try and prevent the displacement of a thriving community. The Fall of the
I-Hotel documents the culmination of a decade-long battle to save the
International Hotel, whose residents, mostly Filipino and Chinese seniors,
struggled to save their homes, aided by extensive support from community
groups, activists, and residents citywide. Filmmaker Curtis Choy beautifully
lays out the history and way of life of the elders living in the hotel through
interviews and archival photographs, then guides a vérité immersion in the
protests themselves. The nighttime cinematography in particular is
extraordinarily rich on the 16mm print we'll be showing. The film's depictions
of evictions, police/protestor face-offs, and the forced transformation of a
neighborhood
make The Fall of the I-Hotel as relevant as ever today. preceded by Chinatown:
Portrait of a Working Community (Alan Ohashi, 1978) 14 minutes, color This
production of the Association of Chinese Teachers looks beyond the neon and
gift shops of San Francisco's densest neighborhood to examine what life is like
for its inhabitants. A musical score by Dan Kuramoto of the jazz group
Hiroshima and cinematography by Curtis Choy help it rise above standard
didactics. Choy's footage of International Hotel protests gives an early
glimpse of the topic he'd grant greater depth in The Fall of the I- Hotel. and
Sewing Woman (Arthur Dong, 1982) 14 minutes, b/w On the surface this is a
straightforward account of the life story of one of the many women working in
Chinatown garment factories 35 years ago. A narration delivered over images of
her workspace as well as an array of archival photographs tells us the
alternately harrowing and heartwarming details of her life growing up in
pre-Communist China, her arranged marriage into a "Gold Mountain family" and
subsequent emigration to San Francisco. But the final moments of this Oscar-
nominated short made by a San Francisco State University student (who'd later
go on to create many documentaries & the book Forbidden City, USA) raise more
questions than answers about this woman's life.
