THE CAMERA: JE, LA CAMERA: BABETTE MANGOLTE IN PERSON!
USA, 1977, Digital, 88 min. In French with English Subtitles During her early
years, Chantal Akerman’s closest collaborator was her cinematographer, Babette
Mangolte, who shot many of Akerman’s best films. Mangolte is an important film
artist in her own right, and her film THE CAMERA: JE, LA CAMERA: I is both a
document of the creative ferment of the time and a self portrait of Mangolte,
who will join us for this very special screening.

GERMAINE DULAC PROGRAM
9:00 PM WOMAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA: GERMAINE DULAC & ROSA PORTEN PGM Share +
This screening is part of: WOMAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA: FEMALE FILM DIRECTORS
BEFORE 1950 Film Notes Germaine Dulac THE SMILING MADAME BEUDET / LA SOURIANTE
MADAME BEUDET (1923, 40 min, 16mm, b&w, silent) MADAME BEUDET explores the
relationship of a bored couple in a dreary provincial town from the woman’s
point of view. Basing her film on a play by Andre Obey and Denys Amiel, the
director translates into cinema their aesthetic of the “theater of silence,” a
theory that the silences engulfing characters could be more articulate than
their speech. Silent actions betray the conflicts in the marriage, and
inanimate objects are made to carry psychological meaning. Dulac shows us
Madame Beudet’s view of her husband through a distorting lens, or her own
romantic imagination in abstract visions. Germaine Dulac THE SEASHELL AND THE
CLERGYMAN / LA COQUILLE ET LE CLERGYMAN (France, 1928, 39 min, 16mm, b&w,
silent. Written by Antonin Artaud.) This famous early surrealist film is packed
with Freudian references, and at the same time represents a spirited attack on
the Church. Originally a drama critic, always a feminist, the filmmaker
Germaine Dulac employed a fantastic symbolism to probe the mind of a cleric
whose religious vows deny his normal sexual impulses. Nevertheless, it was
originally banned by the British Board of Censors, which issued the statement
that, “The film is so cryptic as to be almost meaningless. If there is a
meaning, it is doubtless objectionable.” Rosa Porten & Franz Eckstein (credited
together under the pseudonym “Dr. R. Portegg”) THE LATEST VARIETY SENSATION /
DER NEUESTE STERN VOM VARIÉTÉ (Germany 1917, 32 min, 35mm-to-digital. Digital
restoration courtesy of EYE Film Museum.) “This nearly complete comedy…is a
most recent discovery and a rare item among the surviving Rosa Porten films.
Porten wrote, co-directed, and played the role of the variety
artiste Stella Orlanda, an intrepid young woman maneuvering between bourgeois
mentality and the free spirit attributed to popular stage people.” –Annette
Förster, IL CINEMA RITROVATO Total running time: ca. 115 min. The screening on
Sun, Sept 25 will be introduced by Joy Schaefer & Sofia Varino of the Woman
with a Movie Camera project!

VAZQUEZ & GALINDO’S GRRRR! + MOLERO’S VIDEOFILIA
Flying up from Lima is Rotterdam’s Tiger Award-winner Juan Daniel Molero, with
the US theatrical premiere of this long-overdue look at the contemporary lives
and loves of Peruvian youths, coming of age in the globalized era of the
internet, cybersex, and psychedelic drugs. Hooking up online, his slacker teens
trip into a delusional world of Google Glass porn, Mayan Apocalypse, conspiracy
theories, and real corruption in the post-modern Latino metropolis. OPENING are
local brujos Gustavo Vazquez and Guillermo Galindo, live-mixing Mexican horror,
sci-fi, Santo, and even Z musicals, their soundtracks processed in situ through
Gal*in_dog’s analog-synth rig. The big-screen mash-up is fronted by Gustavo’s
perverse dance moves and mischievous mis-translations. *$6.66

PERPETUAL MOTION, PROGRAM TWO: GHOSTS IN THE MACHINES
Perpetual Motion—a series devoted almost exclusively to live experiential
artworks exploring the analog basics of cinema—“goes electric” for one night
only with works exploring the attractive/repulsive allure of the electronic
signal. Program Two presents Michael A. Morris's series Hermeneutics (1-3),
whose graceful fusions are followed by Scott Arford's TV-IV, an aggressive
collision of semi-compatible technologies. The program is concluded with Hyper
by Montreal's Le Révélateur (Sabrina Ratté & Roger Tellier-Craig) an immersive
and architectural audio/visual hybrid located at the liminal edges between
virtual and concrete space.

CHANTAL AKERMAN: EARLY WORKS: NEWS FROM HOME
France, 1977, DCP, 85 min. In French with English Subtitles. As a transplanted
Belgian, whose parents were Polish-Jewish refugees, Chantal Akerman has always
been concerned with a sense of place. In this film, she shows us real-time
vistas of her adopted home, New York City, while she reads letters from her
mother back in Belgium.

I TOUCHED HER LEGS & WE CHOSE THE MILKY WAY
Prior to the screening, there will be a live foley performance by the artist
Kelly Kirshtner. Filmmaker Eva Rødbro will then introduce the films, and a Q&A
will follow the screening. About the films: I Touched Her Legs is an
extraordinary portrait of a group of Southern teens hanging out in cars, rooms,
and neighborhood yards in humid pool-party weather. Through subtly glancing
shots taken at oblique angles and in brief bursts, I Touched Her Legs reaches
directly into the soul of this small band of friends and explains everything
that is important without a single dull expository declaration on their
circumstances. Danish photographer and director Eva Rødbro (born 1980) lives
and works in Copenhagen.

FILMS OF KEN JACOBS, ARTIST IN PERSON!
Experimental Response Cinema presents in collaboration with Austin Film Society
the films of Ken Jacobs with Ken Jacobs live in person! Ken Jacobs is an
essential figure in the history of American avant-garde film. A leader in
cinematic and now digital experimentation since the late 1950s, he explores the
mechanics of the moving image and the very act of viewing. Jacobs investigates
the cinematic experience in its entirety, from production to projection.
Whether undertaking archaeological journeys to the dawn of cinema or
scrutinizing the interstices of new digital technologies, Jacobs’ work
investigates, provokes, and draws power from the mysteries of the nature of
human vision. New York Street Trolleys 1900. 1999, 10:30 min, b&w, sound.

RADICAL DANCES OF LIFE- JACK WALSH’S YVONNE RAINER: FEELINGS ARE FACTS
A fascinating new documentary on the life and career of Yvonne Rainer, Feelings
Are Facts tells the captivating story of one of America's most radical and
important artists. In 1962, as a founding member of Judson Dance Theater,
Rainer revolutionized modern dance by introducing everyday movements like
walking and running into the dance lexicon. Abandoning choreography in the
‘70s, Rainer introduced narrative techniques into American avant-garde film,
turning that genre on its head, too. In the film, we follow Rainer, now 81 and
returned to choreography, as she continues to create vibrant, courageous,
unpredictable dances that invite audiences to question basic assumptions about
art and performance.

7:00 pm, 32 2nd Ave.
YALKUT & MOORMAN PROGRAM 1
A wholly unique figure from the heyday of the NY underground, Jud Yalkut
(1938-2013) was a multi-media pioneer whose radical films and videos remain as
trippy and innovative today as they were back then. Born and raised in NYC,
Yalkut studied literature before turning to experimental cinema in the early
1960s. A member of the groundbreaking intermedia collective USCO and an early
creative partner of Nam June Paik, Yalkut documented a who’s who of important
artists while also making his own distinguished films and videos. Artist
Charlotte Moorman (1933-91), a close friend and collaborator, was a reoccurring
and central figure in Yalkut’s work. In addition to documenting her own
performances on numerous occasions, Yalkut was also a frequent participant in
many iterations of her now-legendary Annual New York Avant Garde Festivals
(1963-80). These two programs, presented in concert with NYU Grey Art Gallery’s
“A Feast of Astonishments: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde,
1960s-1980s,” and in collaboration with Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI),
showcase Yalkut’s expansive film journals and diaries, with a particular focus
on Charlotte Moorman and the art scene of the era. Special thanks to Peg Rice;
Lucy Oakley (NYU Grey Art Gallery); Rebecca Cleman & Jon Dieringer (EAI); and
Chris Hughes & Laura Major (Colorlab). All films and videos directed by Jud
Yalkut. PROGRAM 1: US DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE (1966, 3 min, 16mm) “USCO light,
Beatles sound. A visionary realization of the USCO Riverside Museum
installation exhibition in New York, the show which introduced the word ‘Be-In’
to the English language.” –Jud Yalkut METAMEDIA (1966-71, 50 min, 16mm, silent.
Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from the National Film
Preservation Foundation.) A Film Journal of Intermedia and the Avant-Garde,

“Filmic impressions of composer John Cage, mushroom hunting on his home ground
of Stony Point, New York; visiting his home for the last time; radiating love
towards his friends; and buying fruits and vegetables at the farm market before
returning to New York City.” –Jud Yalkut Total running time: ca. 65 min.

YALKUT & MOORMAN PROGRAM 2
PROGRAM 2: 4TH ANNUAL NEW YORK AVANT GARDE FESTIVAL (1966-72, 27 min, video)
7TH ANNUAL NEW YORK AVANT GARDE FESTIVAL (1969, 3 min, video) Founded and
directed by Charlotte Moorman, the Annual Avant Garde Festivals of New York
began in 1963 as open forums for the presentation of experimental music, which
was emerging out of the Fluxus movement and Happenings. By 1971, these evening
salons of inventive musical works were expanded to incorporate electronic
music, dance, performance, kinetic art, and video art. For more than a decade,
these carnivalesque productions were held at such wildly diverse locations as
Shea Stadium, Wards and Mill Rock Islands in the East River, the World Trade
Center, the decks of the Staten Island Ferry, and on a train en route to
Buffalo from Grand Central Station. Yalkut’s rare historical documents include
material recorded at the 4th and 7th Avant Garde Festivals. The 4th Festival in
1966 was held outdoors in Central Park, and featured over 65
events with artists, musicians, and performers, including Allan Kaprow, Dick
Higgins, Al Hansen, Christo, Shigeko Kubota, Joseph Beuys, and Alison Knowles,
among many others. The 7th Avant Garde Festival was presented in 1969 on two
islands, Wards and Mill Rock, in the East River. Here Yalkut documents
performances on Wards Island, beneath one of Buckminster Fuller’s famous
geodesic domes. THE CHOCOLATE CELLO (1973, 30 min, video) Yalkut documents the
“chocolating” of Charlotte Moorman at the Clocktower in New York City on Easter
Sunday, 1973. This project was based on a concept by artist Jim McWilliams, who
devised other performance events for Moorman, including the FLYING CELLO. Total
running time: ca. 65 min.

8.30 PM, Cinema Arenan; Kristinehman Art Museum
AVANT 2016: SO IS THIS
The 13th edition of AVANT is a tribute to Michael Snow’s film So Is This. A
film that consists only of text and challenges the idea that film, or language,
refers to a surrounding world. This, in So Is This, is simply the event that
unfolds when the film takes place. Besides Michael Snow (Canada) the filmmakers
Els van Riel (Belgium), Esther Urlus (Netherlands) and Elke Groen (Austria) are
invited. All three deals with film as an event and with the material
specificity of film; van Riel with time, Urlus with the materiality of film
colour, and Groen with the actual memory of the film material. AVANT begins on
Friday evening at Kristinehamn Art Museum with a screening of So Is This after
which follows the opening of Els van Riel’s installations Five Screens and

NEW PERUVIAN CINEMA: VIDEOFILIA
Los Angeles Premiere! Filmmaker Juan Daniel F. Molero in person from Peru! The
world was supposed to end but it didn’t. Luz is still alive. She’s a teenage
misfit who spends her first days out of school wandering through the Internet
and seeking for new and weird experiences. She meets Junior online who captures
her attention, he’s an older slacker obsessed with conspiracy theories,
videogames and porn. After cybersex is done the only thing left is the
encounter in flesh, but on the eve of that meeting unusual events unfold and
other odd characters appear in this psychedelic tragicomedy that takes place in
a Lima of spiritual decay, media overload, glitches and pre-Inca ruins.
Tickets: An Echo Park Film Center screening with $5 donation for all attendees,

rmance-tickets-27518761356 #tickets Before the invention of celluloid,
travelling showmen would mesmerise audiences with magic lantern shows, using
the simple apparatus of a lamp, lens and painted slides to illustrate
phantasmagorical stories or moralist tales. Far from being a novelty revival of
Victorian parlour entertainment, Ken Jacobs' Nervous Magic Lantern is
astonishingly radical. Projecting hand-crafted, impasto collages with
a bright theatrical lamp, Jacobs sculpts light into organic, abstract forms and
uses flicker to propel them into deep space, conjuring 3D illusions and
unimaginable visual phenomena...performed in collaboration with experimental
musicians. "Along with magician's assistant Flo, I have presented live
film-performance since 1975 but other spectacles before that, including 3D
shadowplay (with shadows reaching into the audience), in an ongoing
investigation of "expanded cinema". This will be a performance with the Nervous
Magic Lantern, a device so elemental it puts us in the running with the very
earliest inventors of cinema. You will see Abstract Expressionism in depth,
monster-creations of dark and light forming and reforming without film or
electronics, live! and without 3D spectacles but with 3D available to be seen
even by the single-eyed. A projection of evolving and moving, twisting and
turning dimensional forms that could've happened before the invention of film,
though
Abstract-Expressionism had to come first to prepare minds. Light will pulse
throughout, not to everyone's pleasure, but no pulse/no hallucination. (Do not
prepare with drugs, the Nervous Magic Lantern is the drug.") -Ken Jacobs, 2014

TRINH T. MINH-HA: FORGETTING VIETNAM
Forty years after the Vietnam War, what remains, for those living in exile, and
for those who stayed, of the country once called đất nứớc vạn xuân-the land
of 10,000 springs? Mythologically born of a fragile equilibrium between land
and water, Vietnam now faces a balancing act no less precarious. Is she doomed
to become a Benjaminian image, in touristic snapshots, in diasporic nostalgia?
Or is she reborn in a to-and-fro between traditions linked to the solid earth,
and the liquid changes of rapid globalization? Through exquisitely composed
images and a shimmering soundtrack, Trinh T. Minh-ha (re)constructs the country
of her birth as lost in multiple layers of remembrance and oblivion, while the
specter of America's most divisive war remains both present and all too easy to
forget.South Korea/Vietnam/USA, 2015, digital, 90 min. Directed, Written and
Edited: Trinh T. Minh-ha. In person: Trinh T. Minh-ha

FILMING OIL REFINERIES IN TEXAS: SCREENING AND ROUNDTABLE WITH TANIA MOURAUD
In conjunction with her new exhibition "Everyday Ogres" at The University of
Texas at Austin’s Visual Arts Center, visiting French artist Tania Mouraud will
present and discuss a selection of her works, including the newly commissioned
video and sound installation FATA MORGANA. Filmed at night at an oil refinery
in Pasadena, TX, FATA MORGANA captures a haunting vision of Texas’ metal cities
filled with toxic smoke and threatening power. It follows from Mouraud's other
videos, which bring to life the immensity of environmental industrial sites
around the world to audiences often removed from a direct experience of such
sites’ force and intensity. Mouraud will be joined by Rice Professors Dominic
Boyer and Joseph Campana and by curator Allison Myers for a roundtable
conversation after the screening.

THE FILMS OF EVA MARIE RøDBRO
Filmmaker Eva Marie Rødbro in person from Denmark! Note the change from our
usual location. With a skillful eye and generous spirit, photographer and
filmmaker Eva Marie Rødbro fashions an intimate and utterly unique view into
the lives of various contemporary youths from her native Denmark to the
American South. Her films remind us of the fervor, awkwardness and often
painful experience of adolescent life while savoring the sweet, contemplative
moments that are often overlooked in memories. For her first ever in-person
program in Los Angeles, Filmforum surveys Rødbro’s films made over the past
eight years, showcasing her remarkable ability to construct intoxicating
narratives from acutely recorded observations, and marked by a startling
intimacy with her subjects. - Becca Keating, Los Angeles Filmforum, 2016

Essential Cinema collection, but we include it here as a special bonus.] “Peter
Kubelka is the perfectionist of the film medium; and, as I honor that quality
above all others at this time finding such a lack of it now elsewhere, I would
simply like to say: Peter Kubelka is the world’s greatest filmmaker – which is
to say, simply: see his films!…by all means/above all else…etcetera.” –Stan
Brakhage Len Lye TUSALAVA (1929, 10 min, 16mm, b&w, silent) TRADE TATTOO (1937,

in 1901. He moved to England in the 1920s and subsequently
to New York in 1944, where he spent the last 40 years of his life. A pioneer of
‘scratch’ or ‘direct’ filmmaking, Lye used various tools to mark patterns,
shapes, and images directly onto the film’s surface, and often explored the
dynamic energy of abstract images propelled into life by lively jazz scores or
Pacific-inspired rhythms. Total running time: ca. 55 min.

min, 8mm-to-16mm) The oldest surviving Kuchar mini-epic, this patriotic WWII
period piece (made by high schoolers) chronicles the desires and destinies of

women longing for robust temptations that will make them sizzle into maturity

enjoy.” –G.K. Mike Kuchar BORN OF THE WIND (1962, 24 min, 8mm-to-16mm)
Preserved by Anthology through the Avant-Garde Masters program funded

LAURA KRANING: SPECTRAL LANDSCAPES
"Esoteric archeology." - Visions du Réel "A spectral quality characterizes all
the images and sounds." - Millenium Film Journal. Los Angeles Premieres. Laura
Kraning combines richly detailed imagery and sound to transform unseen places
into liminal landscapes of the imagination. Plays of light and movement
specific to each location summon what is absent in the visible-the past that
continues to haunt the present. Her program of shorts takes us to the last Los
Angeles drive-in, a flood-control dam with a fire-scarred history, a boatyard
of bygone dramas, a mirrored field of watchful machines. Her work has
previously screened at the New York, Ann Arbor, Edinburgh, Rotterdam and
Visions du Réel festivals, among other venues. In person: Laura Kraning
