CURT MCDOWELL PROGRAM 3
“PEED INTO THE WIND smears across the screen like one of those dirty
underground comic books. It’s loaded with a lot of big scenes and unusual
looking people that make this epic resemble a clogged toilet. Unfortunately,
since several of the performers were not as loyal as Ainslie Pryor and John
Thomas, the plot is difficult to follow but in no way hinders the sewer-like
sequences. It’s quite enjoyable and possesses the releasing power of an enema.”
–George Kuchar “A real gut-punch. It’ll have you puking in the aisles.” –Mike
Kuchar All films restored by the Academy Film Archive. KATHLEEN TRAILER (for

THUNDERCRACK!
by Curt McDowell 1975, 159 min, 16mm-to-digital, b&w Written by and featuring
George Kuchar. “Witness if you dare, the world’s only underground kinky art
porno horror film, complete with four men, three women, and a gorilla. Ecstasy
so great that all heaven and hell becomes just one big old Shangri-La! […] With
the initial setup of an atmospheric gothic horror tale – dark stormy night
breakdown featuring a creepy old house on the hill – it quickly turns into a
bawdy, graphic, and darkly comic orgy. Dead drunk, horny, and delirious Marion
Eaton commands the screen as one of cinema’s weirdest female characters, while
George Kuchar falls madly in love with a gorilla. […] The most dialogue you
will ever see in porn and the most porn you will ever see in a melodrama,
THUNDERCRACK! is a volatile marriage of genres, fluid sexuality, and depraved
perversion.” –D.A. Johnston, FRAMELINE

Raleigh, North Carolina 27604: A/V Geeks
Report, The House With All the Films
A/V GEEKS WATCH-A-THON
WHAT? Can A/V Geeks founder, Skip Elsheimer, watch over 100 films in a weekend?
We will be streaming live from the A/V Geeks HQ for over 24 hours straight of
film watching and digitizing. (we originally planned on 48 hours, but realized
we could do it in 24) WHY? We've got a lot of films that we've not seen yet and
this is a zany way to see a bunch in a short period of time - plus we can share
it with the world as we do it. This has been an idea we've been batting around
for a while. We hope make this a regular event and maybe get other archives to
do the same thing. If you're going to save film, then you should share it! HOW?
We'll be watching the films via a telecine that's hooked to a laptop. We'll be
streaming directly over Facebook Live on the A/V Geeks page. There will be some
caffeine and snack food ingested... AND: We'll also have a sale on A/V Geeks
DVDs.

8:00 pm, 32 2nd Ave.
SPARKLE'S TAVERN
by Curt McDowell 1985, 120 min, 16mm, b&w With Melinda McDowell, Marion Eaton,
and George Kuchar. Preserved by Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
with a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. Welcome to
Sparkle’s Tavern – a sing-and-suck bordello where a brother-sister
entrepreneurial duo are just trying to earn an honest buck. Their little
brothel is a secret, hard kept from their conservative mother. But when she
receives a visit from the magical Mr. Pupik (Kuchar) he shares with her the
joys of sexual enlightenment and SPARKLE’S becomes a raucous, sex-positive
family film. Shot in 1976 but not edited until 1984, the film was the last
McDowell would complete. “A lusty, bizarre, sexually-dripping marvel of the
emotional dangers in a dysfunctional family crippled with secrets and lost
passions. Marion Eaton as Mrs. Blake is the marvelously pinched backbone of
this body of decadence and Dionysian mania.” –Frederic E. Kahler

7:30 PM - 10 PM, TAC: Temescal Art Center, 511 48th St
SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS KIT YOUNG, LORI VARGA AND THOMAS DIMUZIO
Kit Young and Lori Varga are both experimental visual artists and
absurdist/avant improvisers. For this very special show at Shapeshifters Cinema
they will be joined by the remarkable synth/electronic music talent of Thomas
Dimuzio and a very special guest! Young and Varga will present three pieces,
each aproximately 15 to 20 minutes long, titled Coagulated Portraits,
Stereoscopic Ridge Run, and The Anthropological Study of 21st Century
Sexuality. The artists will be utilizing both high and low tech systems of
digital and analog imagery to showcase their esoteric world view, using candid
social commentary, human anatomy, psychedelic views on forests, and animal
energies vs sexual chakuras. Tonal and dronal electronic soundscapes will
accompany hand-shot and edited video and apropriated celluloid compositions.
Varga and Young's collaborative works are a fine blend of infinite
improvisation and finite structure. 16mm film projectors will be stationed
beside an array of modular
video synthesizers and robotic armed video feedback cameras. Dimuzio and Young
will share signals from their synthesizers to create rhythmic
audio-visualizations.

FELIX FINDS A WAY: OTTO MESSMER AND EARLY ANIMATION
Felix Gets Broadcast, 1922, 16mm, 4 mins Felix Turns the Tide, 1922, 16mm, 8
mins Felix Trifles with Time, 1925, 16mm, 8 mins Felix in Hollywood, 1926,
16mm, 9 mins Felix Woos Whoopee, 1927, 16mm, 7 mins Flim Flam Films, 1927,
16mm, 7 mins Pedigreedy, 1927, 16mm, 8 mins Skulls and Sculls, 1930, 16mm, 10
mins. Years before Walt Disney made Mickey Mouse whistle in Steamboat Willie,
Felix the Cat was the unparalleled cartoon superstar of the Jazz Age. Sly,
scrappy, and surrealistically polymorphic, Felix enthralled audiences in dozens
of short subjects produced between 1919 and 1930, churned out from the
minuscule Pat Sullivan Studios in Manhattan. During the height of the silent
era, Felix became a worldwide phenomenon; he was the first cartoon character to
become transformed into plush toys and other merchandise, two popular ragtime
records were released in his honor, and a Felix comic strip spin-off ran in
hundreds of newspapers. A former prizefighter, convicted felon and by
all accounts abusive drunkard, producer Patrick O'Sullivan long took sole
credit for Felix, but historians now recognize that the wily cat was in fact
the creation of self-effacing cartoonist Otto Messmer, whose place as one of
the major innovators of animated motion pictures is now beyond dispute.
Tonight, Light Industry celebrates Messmer with eight of his most remarkable
Felix cartoons, including one of the director's only sound films, the
college-themed phantasmagoria Skulls and Sculls. In the spirit of popular
exhibition practices of the 1920s, Messmer's silent films will be accompanied
by live improvised soundtracks by artist and composer Marina Rosenfeld.

“Short Fuse” (Warren Sonbert, 1992, 37 min) Introduced by Rebecca Meyers. 80
min, 16mm Projection. Robert Fulton (1939–2002) was a pilot, a gifted aerial
cinematographer, a devout Buddhist, a close friend and collaborator of
filmmaker Robert Gardner, and an inspired independent filmmaker. His
exhilarating, densely edited, poetically sensitive films were admired by Canyon
stalwarts Bruce Baillie and Stan Brakhage, and he was an inspiration for
students including filmmaker and former Canyon Cinema Executive Director
Dominic Angerame. An artist who traveled the world accompanied by his Bolex
camera, he eschewed narrative as he gathered images with a spirit of wonder and
generosity, translating the people and places he encountered into scenes of
breathtaking beauty and elation, and editing with a dazzling rhythm whose
cadences evoke a
deep passion for and knowledge of music. Fulton left behind a substantial body
of work that resonates with Warren Sonbert's exuberant and visually resplendent
montage.

The work of San Francisco-based experimental filmmaker Paul Clipson merges

recently shot at 500 Capp Street. $20 general admission.

STRATMAN/CALLE/FAROCKI PROGRAM
Film Notes A program of shorts that take surveillance tapes as found footage to
ends that both illuminate and unnerve. Deborah Stratman’s IN ORDER NOT TO BE
HERE is a brilliant exploration of privacy and surveillance, and the
manipulation of fear in the fabric of suburban communities. Stratman describes
the film as “a new genre of horror movie, attempting suburban locations as
states of mind.” Sophie Calle’s UNFINISHED takes ATM surveillance footage as
its source and inspiration for a fifteen-year-long investigation into security,
money, and the allure of the anonymous faces on these tapes. Harun Farocki’s I
THOUGHT I WAS SEEING CONVICTS is a single-channel edit of a two-channel video
installation. We see two frames of surveillance footage from a maximum-security
prison in California, slightly overlayed to create a dual screen within the
frame. The silent footage is a sobering look at the isolation and violence
within this prison, and ultimately about the much larger issue of
mass incarceration in America. Deborah Stratman IN ORDER NOT TO BE HERE (2002,
33 min, 16mm) Sophie Calle UNFINISHED (2005, 30 min, digital. In English and
French with English subtitles. Made in collaboration with Fabio Balducci.)

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: HOLLIS FRAMPTON PROGRAM
ZORNS LEMMA (1970, 60 min, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.) “A
major poetic work. Created and put together by a very clear eye-head, this
original and complex abstract work moves beyond the letters of the alphabet,
beyond words and beyond Freud. If you don’t understand it the first time you
see it, don’t despair, see it again! When you finally ‘get it,’ a small light,
possibly a candle, will light itself inside your forehead.” –Ernie Gehr & HAPAX
LEGOMENA I: (nostalgia) (1971, 36 min, 16mm, b&w. Preserved by Anthology Film
Archives.) “In (nostalgia) the time it takes for a photograph to burn (and thus
confirm its two-dimensionality) becomes the clock within the film, while
Frampton plays the critic, asynchronously glossing, explicating, narrating,
mythologizing his earlier art, and his earlier life, as he commits them both to
the fire of a labyrinthine structure; for Borges too was one of his earlier
masters, and he grins behind the facades of logic, mathematics,
and physical demonstrations which are the formal metaphors for most of
Frampton’s films.” –P. Adams Sitney Total running time: ca. 100 min.

ESSENTIAL CINEMA: GENET/FRANK & LESLIE PROGRAM
Jean Genet UN CHANT D’AMOUR (1950, 26 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent.) Jean Genet’s
poetic expression of male eroticism pitted against the confines of prison cells
and a homophobic state… a powerfully resonant work that explores individual
freedom and the laws of desire. Robert Frank & Alfred Leslie PULL MY DAISY
(1959, 28 minutes, 35mm, b&w.) A largely spontaneous experiment, arranged in
1959 by Robert Frank along with Alfred Leslie. They enlisted the participation
of Jack Kerouac, who offered in place of an original screenplay a stage play
he’d never finished writing, “The Beat Generation.” The plot is based on an
incident in the life of Neal Cassady and his wife Carolyn. They’re raising a
family and trying to fit in with their suburban neighbors, and one night they
invite a respectable neighborhood bishop over for dinner. But Neal’s Beat
friends crash the party, and that Marx Brothers-like scenario is the closest
thing the film has to a storyline. Total running time: ca. 60
minutes.
