FOUR FILMS BY NATHANIEL DORSKY & JEROME HILER Although Nathaniel Dorsky and Jerome Hiler have shared the same world and have many of the same interests and occupations, their films express the inner spirit of two distinct individuals. There are similarities, but these recede in significance as one experiences the unique mind of either filmmaker. FILMS BY JEROME HILER “Given all the layers involved, there are some rules to follow that must govern all the material. One has to regard black or darkness as if it were gold itself. The dark characteristics are what enable the layers to come through and blend with one another.” (J.H.) NEW WORK-IN-PROGRESS (2017-18, ca. 17 min., 16mm, silent) BAGATELLE I (2016-18, ca. 16 min., 16mm, silent) FILMS BY NATHANIEL DORSKY “I put shots together to create a revelation of wisdom through delicate surprise. The montage does not lead to verbal understanding, but is actual and present.” (N.D.)

He was a published poet, a sort of down and out San Francisco bohemian who later became one of the psychic casualties of that scene. His last years were spent at Sunnyacres, a state mental hospital in Fairfield, California. These films, along with Ron Rice's, are clearly the most significant work to come out of the beat period." -J.J. Murphy All films preserved by Anthology Film Archives.

Guy Debord, Michelle Bernstein, Maurice Lemaitre, and their many angry comrades were the catalysts for massive change in the West, largely through their literary and cinematic critiques of the Capitalist “Spectacle” and its destruction of everyday life. A multiplicity of excerpts are deployed in Bivoulab’s provocative talk, that bears on found-footage filmmaking, the urban “drift”, and even the present-day steamrolling of our own beloved City. ALSO: Elena Pardo’s El Otro Grito (The Other Scream), a 15-min. remembrance of the student massacre at the ’68 Mexico City Olympics. Ralph Diamant’s 16mm The Streets Belong to the People brings the global “Golden Jubilee” back home to the States, with his contemporaneous montage of Chicago street verité, barricade interviews, and a prescient Moog synth track. PLUS a march with William Burroughs, Allen Ginsburg, and Jean Genet at the Chicago DNC (from Frédéric Moffet), Roger Flint’s Spangled Banner (music by the Grass Roots!), free bread and wine, and red roses. 12/1 Santander, Spain: Filmoteca de Cantabria 4:30 PM, Calle Bonifaz 6 CINEINFINITO #78: JEAN EPSTEIN Protegido: Cineinfinito #78: Jean Epstein.

Guests are encouraged to bring pillows/cushions for extra comfort. Refreshments will be served throughout the event. Germany, 2008, 570 minutes. Documentary/essay anthology film. German with English subtitles Writer/Director: Alexander Kluge, Cinematography: Michael Christ, Erich Harandt, Werner Lüring, Claudia Marcell, Heribert Kansy, Thomas Mauch, Thomas Willke, Walter Lennertz, Editor: Kajetan Forstner, Andreas Kern Presumably the LA Premiere! Over the course of 570 minutes (three DVDs), Alexander Kluge works his way through the “ideological antiquity”, inspired by Sergei Eisenstein’s unfulfilled plan to film Marx’s “Das Kapital“. Eisenstein’s art of montage and Marx’s critique of the trade in commodities are fundamental bases of modernity – yet we have lost touch with modernity just as we have lost touch with antiquity. What can Marx and Eisenstein tell us about our current cultural and social production, Kluge wonders, but because it’s Kluge asking, there are many answers and even more new questions. 12/2 Los Angeles, California: Filmforum http://www.lafilmforum.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=67358271f2&e=f36020cad0> 7:00 pm, UCLA Film & Television Archive, Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd. NATHANIEL DORSKY: ARBORETUM CYCLE NATHANIEL DORSKY: ARBORETUM CYCLE “The Arboretum Cycle was shot over a twelve month period beginning in the early spring of February and ending in the month of December.

Humberto Mauro, a major figure in the Brazilian avant-garde who believed that spoken dialogue and intertitles detracted from the moving image, integrated text in the form of speech bubbles in his experimental cinematic melodrama, GANGA BRUTA (1932). By the late 1960s, the use of text on screen finds a master of ambiguity and irony in the Cuban Nicolás Guillén Landrián. Following Santiago Ãlvarez's tradition, Guillén Landrián, nephew of the poet laureate Nicolás Guillén, playfully intermingles text and images on many different levels, generating a corrosive sense of irony and confusion in allegedly 'didactic' documentaries. The starting point of this program is Guillén Landrián's masterpiece, COFFEA ARÃBIGA (1968), a parody of the utopian 1968 Greenbelt agricultural project. The selection continues with more contemporary explorations of the combination of typography and film syntax.

They emerged alongside the myriad pioneering filmmakers of the 1960s and 70s - including Robert Breer, Standish Lawder, Suzan Pitt, Mary Beams, and Harry Smith, to name a few - who pursued their unique visions through the medium of experimental 16mm animation. Frank's early films, produced while a graduate student at Yale and recently preserved by the Yale Film Study Center, include early collage works, a technique he and Caroline would elaborate upon in later films such as QUICK DREAM, CHEMICAL ARCHITECTURE, and others. Frank and Caroline are widely known for their animated collage short FRANK FILM (1973), a surprise Academy Award winner, which features a soundtrack by New York icon Tony Schwartz. FRANK FILM's unexpected success enabled the duo to retain artistic freedom in their forays into commercial, television, and feature work in the 1970s and 80s. FRANK FILM also inaugurated a series of "animated documentaries," including CONEY, SCREENTEST, and FRANKLY CAROLINE. A short-lived jaunt to Los Angeles to direct features never quite worked out and they happily came back east. A quietly radical and innovative vision permeates all of their work, from commercials to Sesame Street and back again to their broad range of experimental animations. We are honored to have both Frank and Carline present to discuss their long, strange journey of love, films, dog breeding, and much more. Organized by Jeremy Rossen.

Dinçel’s films are rooted in the body, charting her and her lovers’ flesh across experiences of desire and dislocation. Hand-making her films—scratching, sewing, hammering, letter-punching, and typewriting all figure into the process—allows the artist to manifest intensely private subject matter in an equally physical cinematic object. Moments of carnal sublimation or self-pleasure, breakdowns of communication, and the lyrical textures of bodies in the spaces they inhabit all contribute to Dinçel’s self-described “female polemic against representations of the body.” Her work also gestures toward her upbringing in Turkey, from which she emigrated on her own as a teenager; the films’ painstaking construction evokes traditions such as rug-making, while their themes signal an urgency of self-expression without shame or reductive notions of gender. Reminiscent of Carolee Schneemann and Kathy Acker but articulated through a contemporary critical voice that is uniquely her own, Dinçel’s films are knowing, vital anthems about empowerment through art. The screening includes the world premiere of Dinçel’s newest work, Instructions on How To Make a Film, and a rare showing of her sole digital title, Untitled (2016), and will be followed by an onstage conversation.

This program is night 2 of a 5-night cinema-arts festival MONO NO AWARE XI and is Free to attend. This piece was commissioned by and given full production support from MONO NO AWARE. 12/6 San Francisco, CA United States: San Francisco Cinematheque http://www.sfcinematheque.org <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=0dc5aa9387&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, 701 Mission St LAURA PARNES' BLOOD AND GUTS IN HIGH SCHOOL Admission: $10 General/$6 Cinematheque Members "We all live in a prison. Most of us don’t know we live in prison." — Kathy Acker, Blood and Guts in High School Cinematheque concludes its 2018 exhibitions with a rare screening of Laura Parnes’ BLOOD AND GUTS IN HIGH SCHOOL (2007), a chillingly dystopic deadpan dramatization of Kathy Acker’s infamously pornographic, plagiarized, resistant, oedipal and anti-imperial novel of the same name (published 1984). Parnes’ version places banal scenes from the life of its nihilistic anti-heroine Janie/Janey Smith in the context of U.S. news events, 1978–1982 (the years of the novel’s composition) including the Jonestown Massacre, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, the Iranian Hostage Crisis and more. Endlessly timeless, Parnes’ Blood and Guts… presciently dramatizes the banality of everyday institutional oppression in these United States.

INFORMATION + HISTORY: The 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soirée is a way to help create more independent lms by a variety of artists while giving the local community an opportunity to view the lms collectively in their intended and original form, through the gate of a super 8 projector, in a public exhibition space. It should be noted that using a super 8 camera is centered on the concept that this type of lm, often discarded to antiquity in this digital age, is still an affordable lm gauge for independent lmmakers. In recent years, more attention has been given to this lm format, as it once sat on the edge of extinction. This super 8 exhibition is distinct in that none of the lms are viewed by the lmmakers before the screenings. Participants are not allowed to edit or preview their lms. What’s lmed in-camera, is what’s shown. No physical cuts or splices are allowed, and there is no opportunity to make changes. Sound is prerecorded or performed live and synced during the projection of the films. This idea leads to exciting, refreshing lms (or happy accidents), and a rare opportunity for a public viewing. Each year the 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soirée, coordinated by lmmaker and FAU lm Professor Shane Eason, has spawned a cache of great lms, holds an impressive festive atmosphere, and continues to have a loyal, cult-like following. The popularity of this noncompetitive event has enabled its return most years with more lmmakers participating. 2018 will mark the 1:1 Super 8 Cinema Soirée's 10th year in South Florida. It’s quite the milestone and a topic of discussion among those yearning the sight and smell of super 8 lm, and the soothing sound of a super 8 projector. 2018 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: Florida Atlantic University, FAU School of Communication & Multimedia Studies, FAU Dorothy F.

Using various technical and formal approaches including time lapse, optical printing, animation, and digital image manipulation, Hammer has regularly embraced the presence and physicality of film to deeply mine the rapture of subjective vision.

Kristin Cato (on violin) and Cindy Sawprano (on musical saw!) prime the party with the world premiere of Loop 8, a Live Film performance that whirlpools us into the infinite recursions of that wonder-filled number. Finished at Wexner, Vanguard Awardee Penny Lane (Nuts, Pain of Others) transmutes the dross of The Bachelor dating show into the gold of her Normal Appearances, another of Lane’s savvy super-cuts that both appreciate and de-naturalize mass media. Dominic Gagnon, the controversial French-Canadian archeologist of the present, exports the West Coast premiere of Going South, the second in his compass tetralogy that manages to capture the unique ice crystals in the ever-roiling YouTube cloud enveloping our orb, so to artfully organize those first-person confessionals into a new kind of crowd-sourced documentary. ALSO: Katherin McInnis too delivers a debut, Eye of the Needle, a marvelous re-visitation of WPA Farm Security photos, scored by Matthew Leonard. PLUS pieces by David King (in person), Soda_Jerk, Rachel Woolf, Rachel Evans, Bruce Conner (!), and a sneak peek at Baldwin/Dziesinski’s Bomb Time. *$8 SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2018 12/9 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=ce26aa4a3c&e=f36020cad0> 2:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue PLAY: WORDLESS FILMS WITH LIVE MUSIC PLAY is a collaboration between filmmakers Augusta Palmer and Chris Arnold, composer Greg Karnilaw, and the acclaimed musicians and composers of CreArtBox.
