EL PUEBLO: SEARCHING FOR CONTEMPORARY LATIN AMERICA, PROGRAM 2
Program 2: Performing the Portrait "I'm sorry," says the estimable Phedra D.
CoÌrdoba in Quem tem medo de Cris Negaõ?, "but I need to know what I'll be
facing in order to get into character. So that I can get into character, who of
course is myself, but still…." What all of the "characters" depicted in the
films in this program face is a camera, and that meeting or confrontation is
framed in ways that bring the issue of performativity to the fore. When are
expressive manifestations of speech, action and gesture simply being captured
by the cinema and when does it more actively ascribe to its subjects
performative qualities? Whether offering an excerpt of a conversation rife with
the apparent codes of class, age and regional identity (Hotel Punta del Este),
demonstrating how the willed construction of identity depends upon reciprocal
recognition (Filme Para Poeta Cego), or spotlighting a shopkeeper's wares (El
guaraches), these films play with the openness of that
question. SCREENING: Hotel Punta del Este (2015) by Luis Sens (Argentina): I go
down to the lobby during a shoot. I see them sitting there. I can't believe it.
I ask if they will let me take their picture. I leave the digital camera
recording on a tripod while I fake being occupied. I do not get to hear what
they say. (Luis Sens) Quem tem medo de Cris Negaõ? (2012) by ReneÌ Guerra
(Brazil): The life and death of Cris Negaõ, a.k.a. Cristiane Jordaõ, a.k.a.
Nego Marcos, according to those who knew her in Saõ Paulo's trans community.
"Depending on your point of view / I'm the bad one / Vamp in your novel / The
great tyrant. / Everyone in this world / tells the story in their own way."
Filme Para Poeta Cego (2012) by Gustavo Vinagre (Brazil/Cuba): Glauco Mattoso,
a blind, sadomasochistic poet, agrees to participate in a documentary about his
own life, but the conditions he imposes hinder the work of the young director.
El guaraches (2012) by Azucena Losana
(Mexico/Argentina): "El guaraches" (leather sandals) is the nickname of the
owner of this traditional mezcaleriÌa and handmade-sandal shop in CuicatlaÌn,
Oaxaca, Mexico. From his collection of handcrafted mezcal bottles made by
Oaxacan families, we chose two of the "Porn" collection to go…. (Azucena
Losana)

Kalal and Cecilia Dougherty. We are screening film, video and interactive work
and having a discussion with the artists to follow. Artists and panelists

7:30pm, 155 Freeman St
DAVID LARCHER'S MARE'S TAIL
Mare's Tail, David Larcher, 1969, 16mm, 143 mins "A film that is undoubtedly
one of the most important produced in this country and that stands comparison
with the best from the United States. It's as if it were the first film in the
world. When Mare's Tail first appeared it was compared to Brakhage's Art of
Vision as an examination of ways of seeing. The comparison can be taken
further: as Brakhage is to the New American Cinema, it seems to me, so Larcher
should be considered to the New English Cinema Mare's Tail is not only about
vision but proposes an epistemology of film, particularly in its first reel:
revealing basic elements of film in an almost didactic fashion: grain, frame,
strip, projector, ligh...t. We see a film in perpetual process, being put
together, being formed out of these attitudes. The first reel is a 'lexicon' to
the whole film - to film in general - holding together what is essentially an
open-ended structure to which pieces could be continually added
and offering us a way to read that film. It is at once a kind of autobiography
and a film about making that autobiography." - Simon Field, Art and Artists,
1972

LEXINGTON FILM LEAGUE SHOWCASE: ROGER BEEBE
The Lexington Film League and 21c invite you to our film showcase featuring the
films of Roger Beebe. Best known perhaps for his multiple-projector
performances, filmmaker/curator/professor Roger Beebe returns to the road with
a program that focuses on his longstanding practice of appropriation of
educational/industrial/mass cultural imagery alongside works that explore the
found landscapes of late capitalism. These works cover a range of topics from
suburban sprawl (“The Strip Mall Trilogy”) and the secret logic of the book of
Genesis (“Beginnings”) to the demolition of a book store (“A Metaphor for the
End of Just about Everything”) and companies jockeying to be at the start of
the phone book (“AAAAA Motion Picture”). The program culminates in his
long-form video essay, “Historia Calamitatum (The Story of My Misfortunes),
Part II: The Crying Game,” (award winner at a number of festivals including
Chicago Underground, IC Docs, and Milwaukee Underground), which explores the
forbidden pleasures of male tears. Event is free and open to the public.

experimentations, Scott Stark will present an evening of 16mm, 35mm and digital

is an experimental music series which explores the relationship between
forgotten spaces, sound abstraction and the natural environment. The series
takes place on the Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve, a 215-acre park
that formerly served as one of the first Naval Ammunition Depots. The event is
held in a concrete munitions storage magazine measuring 55'x100' with ceilings
over 15'. The architecture of the building traps sound resulting in a prolonged
reverberation.

7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue
JIM JENNINGS AND FRIENDS
To celebrate the 66th birthday of Jim Jennings, a beloved yet under-sung
stalwart of the New York City experimental film community whose lyrical,
sharp-eyed films speak to the glorious tradition of urban street photography,
we have invited six of Jennings's fellow filmmakers - Abigail Child, Nathaniel
Dorsky, Ernie Gehr, Vincent Grenier, Henry Hills, and Ken Jacobs - to select
their favorite films from throughout his long, productive career. With the
exception of Nathaniel Dorsky and Henry Hills (who will be here in spirit),
they will all be present to introduce their chosen films, alongside Jim himself
who will screen his very first film, made 50 years ago! Special thanks to all
the filmmakers, and to Karen Treanor.

Los Angeles, California: Filmforum

7:30 pm, Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd
THE FACES OF RUSSIAN PEASANTS: TWO FILMS BY SERGEI LOZNITSA
Sergei Loznitsa is one of the most heralded filmmakers in Europe, but is still
little known in America. Generously supported by the Mike Kelley Foundation for
the Arts, Filmforum is bringing Loznitsa to Los Angeles for his first time in
late February, for in-person screenings at Filmforum, UCLA, Cal Arts, and
Cinefamily. To lead up to Loznitsa’s visit, Filmforum presents the Los Angeles
premieres of two of his award-winning films Portrait and Landscape. These
highly structured, gentle, painterly looks at Russian peasants might well
resonate for fans of James Benning or Serge Dvortsevoy, or other “slow cinema”
artists. Utterly absorbing and gorgeous works. Tickets: $10 general; $6 for
students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Available in advance from Brown
Paper Tickets at
http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=33d01012e6&e=4e65756555
or at the door. Screening: Portrait (2002, 28 min., b/w, mono, 35 mm);
Landscape (2003, Russia, color, sound, 35mm, 60 min.) For more information:

Oaklanc: Shapeshifters Cinema

7:30-10PM, Temescal Art Center, 511 48th St.
SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS FIRED!
Fired! is Shapeshifters Cinema’s first group screening, organized as part of
100 Days Action a coordinated response by the Bay Area artist community to
Trump’s 100 Day Plan. Fired! includes short works by Bay Area-based moving
image artists Tommy Becker, Allison Holt with Patrick McGee and Justin Enteman,
Kit Young with Fred Rinne, We Rise and Tijana Petrovic that address the new
political landscape through live sound, moving image and performance. Some of
the work addresses the Trump administration directly, calling for empathy and
inclusion of minorities, people with disabilities and others living outside the
mainstream. Other works explore politics and society more generally in an
effort to deconstruct, through a critical lens, those aspects that shape and
define us, for better or worse. Using the language and tools of constructive
creativity, we will fight fire with Fired!, adding our voices to the resistance
of a shady incoming administration whose only motives are power
and profit.
