Re: [Frameworks] The New England Home Movie Tour - -this winter
HI Frameworkers... Unfortunately, I received news from Tim Roberts that Counterpath Press in Denver has to relocate their space and had to cancel a few events including the touring program http://www.newenglandhomemovietour.com/ we were supposed to share out there on 1/31. I've been working with Kelly Sears on finding a new venue -- Tim suggested Glob, but so far they've been unresponsive. We are pretty flexible around that Denver date (1/31) and could share this program with the Mile-High folks on 1/30, 1/31, 2/1 or 2/2. If anyone in the Denver/Boulder area wold like to help us relocate this program please email me off-list. thanks, Warren p.s. - Link to information about the tour http://www.newenglandhomemovietour.com/ The New England Home Movie Tour features handmade and homemade poetic film works from the northeast that celebrate the tactility and intimacy of celluloid-based moving images. As the commercial film industry forces us to embrace digital moving images and the planned obsolescence of the means to produce and distribute those products, this film tour aims to share films that embrace the contemporary DIY strategies, politics, and aesthetics of an enduring, artisanal, and personal approach to filmmaking. This traveling program carries with it more than 30 16mm works and 180 35mm slides that will ensure a uniquely arranged program at each stop along its way.

Re: [Frameworks] Holy Shit! Joe Gibbons
Just added! Sunday February 1, 2015, 7:30 pm Los Angeles Filmforum presents Joe Gibbons: Confessions of a Sociopath At the Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90028 The experimental film world was blown away (³shocked² is not the right word, really) by the news just this month that acclaimed and singular filmmaker Joe Gibbons had been arrested for robbing a pair of northeastern banks. Not only that, but the only weapon he had employed in doing so was one with which he had extensive familiarity: a video camera, almost certainly documenting the robberies for inclusion in an in-progress work. The New York Post, in their condescending coverage of Gibbons¹ apprehension (³Bank Robber Appears to be Screwball Former Professor²), referred to his ³art² and his identity as a ³visual artist² exactly like that - in quote marks. Well, to hell with the New York Post and to hell with the banks, Joe Gibbons is not only an artist, but a truly great artist, one who has for decades blended autobiography and fantasy into a richly confessional, bitingly hilarious, unparalleled first-person media/dream-fulfillment. The ³Joe² in Gibbons¹ films is not simply Joe Gibbons, and the already blurry distinction between his movie identity and real-guy Joe is smeared out of proportion and recognition the more of his work you see. He pushes deep, carefully hidden buttons of shame, hilarity, discomfort, and incredulity within us as his viewers/friends/victims/confidants, unpacking his neuroses and pretensions like a weird-smelling, slightly overstuffed carry-on bag being disallowed on the plane. Ultimately Joe Gibbons is the underworld king of the filmic first-person; there are scant few pretenders to his throne - no one even wants to try or would know where to begin. (Mark Toscano) For this screening, Filmforum is grateful to share Gibbons¹ semi(?)-autobiographical masterwork Confessions of a Sociopath (2001- ) and other items to be determined. Joe is currently in a New York jail cell, but his honorarium for this program will be placed in a support fund being set up by his friends while he¹s temporarily indisposed. For more event information: www.lafilmforum.org, or 323-377-7238 Tickets: $10 general, $6 students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Available by credit card in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at http://bpt.me/1168921 or at the door Joe Gibbons is recognized as a groundbreaking filmmaker in experimental autobiography. His more than thirty films include Unnatural Acts (1975), Going to the Dogs (1980), Hellhound (1995), and Final Exit (2000). He has been recognized with fellowships and awards from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Black Maria Film and Video Festival, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities. He has screened his work at the Rotterdam Film Festival, the Whitney Biennial, Museum Of Modern Art, and on PBS. He is a 2001 recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship. ³Joe², on the other hand, is a professed misanthrope, a man who knows himself to be above all other men, enslaved and empowered by his anxieties and compelled to badger the rest of the world about their intricate machinations and effects. Screening: Confessions of a Sociopath Joe Gibbons, 2001, color, sound, video, 60 min. Confessions of a Sociopath is a 60-minute autobiographical film on digital video and Super 8 film, conceived as a real-life version of Beckett¹s Krapp¹s Last Tape. In this film, Joe Gibbons plays a fictionalized version of himself as he discovers a roomful of Super 8 footage from his own life, detailing events he can no longer recall. This footage shows his earlier film experiments, his descent into destructive behavior, and his ³bottoming out² on drugs and alcohol. At a certain point, the films are replaced by random photos, police records, and psychiatric hospital records. In the role of the narrator, Gibbons uses psychiatric terminology to describe his past exploits, as a way of poking fun at both his own misfortune and at psychiatry¹s ability to medicalize non-conformity. Through Confessions of a Sociopath, the now-reformed narrator seeks to understand his life, and make amends. --- This program is supported by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission; the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles; and the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts. Additional support generously provided by American Cinematheque. We also depend on our members, ticket buyers, and individual donors.

With his radical way of looking at things Farocki strove to endow images with their own form of self-will, to expose their political and cultural coding. Farocki lived and worked in Berlin as a filmmaker, artist and writer. His essay and observational films question the production and perception of images, decoding film as a medium and examining how audiovisual culture is related to history, politics, technology and war. His projects have been shown in festivals and solo, group and retrospective exhibitions worldwide at important events and international institutions, including the 2010 São Paulo Biennial, Documenta X and XXII in Kassel, Tate Modern in London, MACBA in Barcelona, Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the Jeu de Paume in Paris.

Special Thanks to Daniel Chaffey of the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles and Lucas Quigley for organizing this series. Screening on Wednesday, January 14th 2015, 7:00 pm Leben: BRD (How to Live in the FRG) 1990, 88 min. color, German with English subtitles. Digital. The author assembles a genre picture of the contemporary FRG with shots of scenes where life is rehearsed, ability/durability is tested. Wherever one looks, people appear as actors playing themselves; they take on roles. A play in the theater of life made up of training courses, fitness tests for things and people. Be it in birth preparation classes for expectant parents or in practice runs for sales talks, on the military training ground or during role-plays for educational purposes. Everywhere the incessant effort to be prepared for the emergency of reality can be felt. How To Live In The FRG assembles out of a wealth of details a picture of a society in which childbearing and dying, crying and taking care of people, crossing streets and killing are taught and learned in state or private institutions, indeed have to be learned. The real mechanical ballet is not danced by machines but by people, who move to a music that feeds on bombastic phrases from the realms of social work, bureaucracy and therapy. All together, the collected scenes appear to support the view that a mentality of insurance and providing for the future prevails in the FRG, a country in which happiness as well as misery are supposed to be disciplined by means of social techniques and freed from any measure of unpredictability. And yet How To Live In The FRG goes beyond such an interpretation. The participants in the games, tests, and therapy sessions are not degraded into pieces of evidence for some theory or other. They retain, to varying degrees, something of their dignity. This is a result of Farocki's working method: he has edited the scenes in such a way that even the most nonsensical occurrences as it were explain themselves. (D. Leder) - http://farocki-film.de/flash/index.html http://farocki-film.de/flash/index.html The rest of the series (save the dates!): Wednesday, January 21st 2015, 7:00 pm Erkennen und Verfolgen (War at a Distance) 2003, 58 min. color and b/w. German with English subtitles, Digital. In 1991, when images of the Gulf War flooded the international media, it was virtually impossible to distinguish between real pictures and those generated on computer. This loss of bearings was to change forever our way of deciphering what we see. The image is no longer used only as testimony, but also as an indispensable link in a process of production and destruction. This is the central premise of War at a Distance, which continues the deconstruction of claims to visual objectivity Harun Farocki developed in his earlier work. With the help
