A DISTANT ECHO, BY GEORGE CLARK
Filmmaker George Clark in person! Los Angeles premiere! Filmforum kicks off our
42nd year with our friend George Clark, who is returning to Los Angeles to
present his feature film A Distant Echo. Mythic, quiet, and beautifully shot on
35mm film in the deserts of California, Clark’s film explores themes of
culture, cultural excavation and appropriation, and the construction of
history. Playing with movement and light in natural settings, with a glorious
score, layered with a dialogue of two explorers, the film re-enacts the
negotiations of an archaeologist from Cairo with members of an Egyptian tribe
who guard ancient culture hidden in tombs lost in the desert.

KUHLE WAMPE, OR WHO OWNS THE WORLD?
Kuhle Wampe, or Who Owns the World?, Slatan Dudow, 1932, 16mm, 69 mins A nearly
forgotten instance of late-Weimar social realism, Kuhle Wampe, or Who Owns the
World? is a strident anticapitalist drama built from partially documentary
elements, directed by Slatan Dudow, based on a screenplay written with Bertolt
Brecht and Ernst Ottwalt, and featuring music by Hanns Eisler. The central plot
concerns a working-class family, impoverished by the nation's financial
collapse and forced to move to a burgeoning tent city on the outskirts of
Berlin, but the German people as a whole become the film's ultimate
protagonist. Influenced by Eisenstein's experiments in montage and Walter
Ruttman's urban portrait Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927), Dudow's film
impressed contemporary viewers foremost for its then-unusual blend of fact and
fiction. The film conveys how economic forces inexorably warp social
interactions: a man becomes unhappily engaged in order to avoid alimony and
taxes,
a jobless father accuses his similarly out-of-work son of laziness, and a woman
attending a funeral for a suicide simply sighs, "One less unemployed person." A
socialist consciousness begins to coalesce in a final scene, directed by Brecht
himself, in which people on a train discuss a newspaper story on the absurd
destruction of twenty-four million pounds of surplus coffee in Brazil, burned
by the government in order to keep costs high: a plain example of international
capital directly affecting everyday life.

A ROLL FOR PETER-PETER HUTTON TRIBUTE PROGRAM
A tribute to the late Filmmaker Peter Hutton, A Roll for Peter will be screened
at the UCF Art Gallery. Twenty-plus former students, colleagues, and admirers
of Peter Hutton answered an invitation to shoot A ROLL FOR PETER. The
parameters were simple: shoot a single 100 feet roll of black and white 16mm
film. The film is strung together with black film separating the rolls, as
Peter often separated the single shots in his films. The series speaks of
Peter’s strong contemplative aesthetic ethos. Each filmmaker will have 2 and
half minutes of screen time to commune with Peter’s memory, and the collected
rolls will become more than the sum of their parts. Work by Eve Heller,
Christopher Harris, Kathryn Ramey, Roddy Bogowa, the organizing filmmakers, and
others. After the main program, there will be a showing of a short film by
Peter Hutton as well titled New York Portrait, Chapter I.
