Austin, Texas 78702: Experimental Response Cinema
http://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=825cb840f2&e=4e65756555
7:00pm, Mass Gallery, 507 Calles Street Suite 108
PLATONIC: DANI LEVENTHAL IN PERSON
Experimental Response Cinema is pleased to bring you a selection of
experiential video works by Dani Leventhal, along with the artist herself.
Leventhal peruses and captures her environment with a handheld camera that, as
she describes it, functions as an extension of the body. Using intuitive
montage strategies, she coaxes unexpected relationships out of tangled moments
of curiosity, banality, terror, humor, and beauty. Conversations with loved
ones are interrupted by examinations of road kill; mammograms and heart
sonograms jut into lingering images of plant life, folds of skin, and ornate
pressed tin ceilings. These works evoke emotional tones that fluctuate and
clash in ways more similar to our experience of reality than of cinema, and
yield diaristic style that isn't simply recorded but actively hunted, poked and
prodded. "Since 2003's Draft 9, Leventhal has made over a dozen films that
blend diaristic fragments and staged scenes from her own life, all of them
arresting,
intimate, and to my mind some of the most insistently vital work made in the
past decade." - Genevieve Yue, Reverse Shot Full program:

ANTHROMENTARIES FOUR WITH STEVE WETZEL AT UNIONDOCS (NYC PREMIERE)
Saturday, January 31st 2015. 7:30pm. $9 A screening and reading with filmmaker
Steve Wetzel Discussion with Steve Wetzel and Pacho Velez. Steve Wetzel will be
exhibiting several videos never seen in New York. In fact this group of works
has never been seen much outside the Midwest. Each is inspired in its own way
by observational documentary, ethnographic film and video, and the rich and
hugely diverse body of experimental time-based art. In addition Steve will read
a few passages from two of his short collections of writings published by the
Green Gallery Press (Occasional Performances and Wayward Writings, 2010, and
[Pause], 2014). The forms and subjects addressed in the writings range from
essays and lectures on love, public space and mentorship, to email
correspondences and interviews about teaching and art practice. Both texts will
be available for purchase at the screening. Steve Wetzel will be joined by
filmmaker Pacho Velez for a conversation following the screening.
On Tuesday, February 3 at 7pm, Steve Wetzel will be part of the Flaherty NYC
Winter/Spring 2015 program at Anthology Film Archives programmed by Sierra
Pettengill & Pacho Velez. http:// flahertyseminar.org/ flaherty-nyc/
flaherty-winterspring-2015/ Program: Men's Hockey, Steve Wetzel, USA, 2003, 28
min. Men's Hockey is a glimpse at a privileged and intimate space where men
prepare for competition with each other. The video, the anthromentary, is
recorded in a direct observational style that reveals the texture, complexity
and everydayness of a single day inside the locker room of a professional
hockey team in Rockford, IL. Detroit Film Center, Detroit, MI Wisconsin
International Film Festival, Madison, WI The First Shot is Silent (Kaszube's
Park), Steve Wetzel, 2010, 14 min. The First Shot is Silent is about the
commemoration of a once-thriving migrant fishing village in Milwaukee, now
bulldozed into an industrial corridor. As with all progress, many experience
its opposite:
reversal into disappearance. The memorial attempts to preserve the idea and
memory of the Kaszubes, and is a physical marker that conjures the realness of
geography and the actual bodies that once animated it. It feels like a weak
apology to me. Pittsburgh Filmmakers, Pittsburgh, PA The Nightingale Theater,

THE NEW ENGLAND HOME MOVIE TOUR - DENVER EDITION
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 120 35mm slides that will
ensure a uniquely arranged program at each stop along its way. With works by
Luther Price, Jodie Mack, Robert Todd, Jonathan Schwartz, Jo Dery, Warren
Cockerham, and Colin Brant.

SOLITUDE & ESCAPE: MARVELOUS MOVIES WITH AMIR GEORGE
In conjunction with EPFC's monthly online series Marvelous Movie Mondays, Amir
George will be at EPFC to present a program of moving-image works centered
around solitude and escape, as well as a selection of his own pieces. Amir is
guest curating EPFC’s Marvelous Movie Mondays for the month of January and will
center the January 31 show around the works he is highlighting on EPFC's
Facebook page over the course of the month and will also screen new and
in-progress works of his own. Amir is a motion picture artist and film curator
from Chicago. He is the founder of Cinema Culture, a grassroots film
programming organization, and is also the co-curator of Black Radical
Imagination, a touring experimental short film program. FILMMAKER/CURATOR IN

intense collisions of sound and image in three performances, that chart the
dynamic trajectories of "visual music" in its many transcendental forms.

WYSIWYG THE FILMS OF MICHAEL SNOW: WAVELENGTHS + SNOW IN VIENNA
Snow in Vienna dir. Laurie Kwasnik | Canada 2012 | 34 min. | video Wavelength
dir. Michael Snow | Canada 1967 | 45 min. | 16mm A groundbreaking film that
Manny Farber presciently dubbed “a pure,tough forty-five minutes that may
become the Birth of a Nation of Underground films” and that Annette Michelson
once described as a metaphor for consciousness, Michael Snow’s Wavelength
consists of a single, fitful zoom across his New York loft space. Over the
course of the film’s duration, furniture movers deliver a shelf, a man breaks
into the loft and dies, and a woman discovers the body—all while the zoom
continues relentlessly on. The zoom’s compression of time and space serves as a
throughline which Snow adorns with a series of techniques—colour filters, a
sine-wave glissando, varied film stocks, superimposition, the aforementioned
human drama—that distort our perceptions, interrogate the role of narrative in
cinema, and execute a radical and transcendental break with the
conventions of film language. A chapter from a long-form documentary project
called Fields of Snow that director Laurie Kwasnik has been producing about
Snow’smusic, Snow in Vienna documents a rare solo piano concert Snow gave at
the Wiener Konzerthaus in 2012, a performance that the prolific musician is
particularly proud of. Program 1 of a year-long retrospective of Michael Snow's
films.

FIELD NIGGAS AND KHAMAICA WITH KHALIK ALLAH AND FAB FIVE FREDDY AT UNIONDOCS
Sunday, February 1st, 2015. 7:30pm. $9 Discussion to follow with photographer
and filmmaker Khalik Allah and hip hop pioneer, visual artist and filmmaker,
Fab 5 Freddy. Field Niggas, 2014 USA, HD, 60min Field Niggas is a stark
portrayal of the inner city struggle. It depicts an elusive beauty that so
often goes unnoticed. Shot entirely at nighttime on the corner of 125th and
Lexington avenue in Harlem, Khalik Allah's camera encompasses, and richly
depicts, the mental, physical and spiritual struggle of 125th and Lexington
Avenue's most exhausted and depressed inhabitants. Field Niggas, taking it's
name from Malcolm X's famous lecture, "Message to the Grassroots," takes us
into a world that most of us would choose to avoid. Khalik's objective is to
shine light on fear, dispel it, and prove that love exist everywhere no matter
how much it's presence has been obscured by poverty, addiction and pain.
Ultimately Field Niggas is a hauntingly honest, rich depiction of the poor.
Khamaica, Jamica, 2014 HD, 15min Jamaica, The "Old Country," the "Mother
country." Growing up, Khalik Allah's friends would often say "I'm going down
south for the summer, referring to Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, etc. For Khalik
"down south" was Jamaica. Khamaica, the visual essay along with a short film
(watch below), is a "Prodigal Son" experience depicting a man returning to the
doorstep of his father's house, which for Khalik, is a monastery of sorts.
Khamaica is intended to baptize the viewer, remind the viewer, and recalibrate
our human sensibilities which this fast paced world would prefer to be kept
dormant.

JOE GIBBONS: CONFESSIONS OF A SOCIOPATH
The experimental film world was blown away (“shocked” 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 Gibbons’ apprehension (“Bank Robber Appears to be
Screwball Former Professor”), referred to his “art” and his identity as a
“visual artist” 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 “Joe” in Gibbons’ 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 Gibbons’ 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 he’s temporarily
indisposed. For more event information:

6:30pm, TIFF Bell Lightbox, 350 King Street West
ANOUK DE CLERCQ: ARCHITECTONICS
The Belgian artist Anouk De Clercq embraces the power of computer design and
animation to create potential other worlds — whether imaginary landscapes or
utopian architectures — that look to the future whilst paying homage to such
architectural visionaries of past and present as Etienne-Louis Boullée (whose
eighteenth-century monument to Newton is reimagined in Oh) and Robbrecht &
Daem, whose recent Bruges concert hall inspired the shadowplay of De Clercq's
Building. As computer-generated forms, De Clercq's digital worlds are what
writer Anna Manubens refers to as "spaces without memory": images of futurity
with no direct index to history. In this, they bring utopia back to its
etymological root — literally, "no place" — and open up imaginative vistas
unfettered by natural materials. However, De Clercq's commitment to
architectural and musical structure gives her explorations the rational
grounding of the best science fiction: these are speculative yet fully immersive
environments, amplified by meticulous soundtracks of musicians like Scanner and
De Clercq's frequent collaborator Anton Aeki. Tonight's programme concludes
with the stunning Thing, which — unlike De Clercq's previous work, all of which
was designed entirely in the computer — was made by scanning urban environments
and transforming them into pointillist three-dimensional profiles of buildings
and streetscapes, holding space together through the barest suggestion of form.
The high-definition image is able to contain subtle clouds of tiny dots that
transform the real into an astonishing realm between nothing and thing, absence
and the presence of total possibility.

DANCE ON CAMERA 2015: GHOST LINE AND OTHER CELLULOID ANTICS
A program that features the world premiere of Shona Masarin and Cori
Olinghouse’s new experimental dance short Ghost line (USA, 2013, 16mm/HDCAM,
15m), which merges the rhythmic and comedic timings of silent film and
vaudeville with the absurdist impulses of Dada and Surrealism in a kinetic
spectacle of light and shadow. This 78-minute program will also include films
that illustrate Ghost Line’s affinity with cinema’s past: two early Buster
Keaton shorts, The Playhouse (USA, 1921, 35mm, 20m) and Back Stage (USA, 1919,
35mm, 19m); Hans Richter’s Ghosts Before Breakfast (Germany, 1928, digital
projection, 9m); and James Broughton’s Four in the Afternoon (USA, 1951, 16mm,
15m). This program will be moderated by former MoMA curator Jon Gartenberg of
Gartenberg Media, a film archivist, distributor, and programmer with a special
interest in silent and experimental film and film preservation.

WIE MAN SIEHT (AS YOU SEE) - IN MEMORY OF FILMMAKER HARUN FAROCKI SCREENING 4:
STILLEBEN (STILL LIFE) AND EIN BILD (AN IMAGE)
Harun Farocki – the director whose perspicacious cinematic essays analyzed the
new media world – died in July 2014. 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.
Tonight: Stilleben (Still Life) (1997, 58 min., color and b/w, German with
English subtitles. Digital.) and (Ein Bild (An Image) 1983, 25 min., color,

THAT WHICH IS POSSIBLE WITH MICHAEL GITLIN AT UNIONDOCS
Saturday, Feb. 7th, 2015. 7:30pm. $9 New York Premiere. Filmmaker Michael
Gitlin will be joined by artist, musician and participant in the film, Issa
Ibrahim, in a post-screening discussion with Jim Supanik, videomaker and
writer. Michael Gitlin's film That Which Is Possible is a portrait of a
community of painters, sculptors, musicians and writers making work at the
Living Museum, an art-space on the grounds of a large state-run psychiatric
facility in Queens, New York. Shot over the course of two years and structured
across the arc of a day, the film observes with an intimate lens and unspools
like a musical, both bracing and tender. That Which Is Possible explores the
liberatory and reparative functions that creative action has for a group of
artists drawn together by shared struggle.

DAREDEVILS, BY STEPHANIE BARBER
Filmmaker Stephanie Barber in person! Filmforum welcomes back filmmaker
Stephanie Barber for the Los Angeles premiere of her first feature film,
DAREDEVILS. A portrait of risk and language, DAREDEVILS (2013, HD, 85 min.),
presents the experimental narrative of a writer as she interviews a well-known
artist and feels the reverberations of their discussion throughout her day.
Visually spare, still and verbose, the video considers three formal handlings
of language—a dialog, two monologues and a song. For more event information:

free for Filmforum members. Available by credit card in advance from Brown

SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS CHERYL LEONARD WITH REBECCA HASELTINE AND OONA
STERN
Composer, musician, and instrument builder Cheryl Leonard will present four
works about water created in collaboration with visual artists Rebecca
Haseltine and Oona Stern. Inspired by hydrology, aquifers, and California
landscapes, "Watershed" combines field recordings from caves, rivers, and
oceans with sounds played live on water, glass, shells, kelp, and sand. "Frozen
Over" is based on aural and visual phenomena from frozen lakes, and features
recordings of flanging, thumping, and cracking lakes in Yosemite National Park.
Rebecca Haseltine will create live video for these two pieces using natural
objects, drawing, pouring, and painting. "Southern Ocean" and "Glugge" are
shorter works about the polar oceans that Leonard has developed with
Brooklyn-based Oona Stern. Merging audio recordings and video footage collected
in the Arctic and Antarctic with live sounds from natural-objects, these pieces
reflect on climate change at the ends of the earth.
