Austin, Texas 78702: Experimental Response Cinema
http://ercatx.org
8:00pm, Farewell Books, 913 E Cesar Chavez St
BASEMENT MEDIA FEST
Experimental Response Cinema and Farewell Books presents an evening with
the Basement Media Fest, with curators LJ Frezza and Nicholas Tamburo in
person! The Basement Media Fest is a survey of contemporary artists
working with lo-def, lo-tech, and lo-fi motion picture techniques.
Founded in response to hi-res commercial media and corporate-sponsored
film fests, BASEMENT is a celebration of the mediated experience as
aesthetic experience. Featuring work by Ben Balcom, Andy Birtwistle,
Stephen Broomer, Alfredo Salazar-Caro, Chris Paul Daniels, Anja
Dornieden & Juan David Gonzalez Monroy, Scott Fitzpatrick, N.
Heppding, Faith Holland, Salise Hughes, Josh Lewis, Jordan Lopez, Ryan
Murray, Dylan Pasture, Tyler Tamburo, Laura Thatcher, Emma Varker.
Curated by LJ Frezza and Nicholas Tamburo. LJ Frezza creates video works
of heavily edited found-footage and curates moving image programs for
the BASEMENT Media Festival and Spectacle in NYC. He is currently
pursuing his MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Nicholas
Tamburo studied experimental filmmaking and photography in Boston, MA.

Greenbelt, Md: Utopia Film Festival
http://http://www.utopiafilmfestival.org/
12noon, Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Rd.;
URBAN/RURAL LANDSCAPES 8TH EDITION
Directors: Angus Carlyle, Rupert Cox, Ann Deborah Levy, Tomonari
Nishikawa, Pat Doyen, Robert Robertson, Chris H Lynn Locations: Japan,
China, Cuba, California, Louisiana 1. Doors of the Spirits (Robert
Robertson, 2006) A procession of ancient and weathered doorsfrom the
oldest district in Havana is counterpointed by the pathos of an old
revolutionary song. 2.Kiatsu: The Sound of The Sky Being Torn (Angus
Carlyle and Rupert Cox, 2010) "Kiatsu" is a collaboration between
anthropologist Rupert Cox and artist Angus Carlyle. It draws on their
experiences of recording the activities of the last farming family
living within the concrete and steel infrastructure of Japan's largest
airport, where noise - of taxiing and of take-offs and landings - exerts
a constant pressure from before dawn until well after dusk. The work has
also been informed by an extended collaboration with Professor Kozo
Hiramatsu (the UK President of the Japan Society for the Promotion of
Science), who participated in the second period of fieldwork and who has
provided us with the perspective of acoustic science. 3. Rain Painting
(Ann Deborah Levy, 2014) The landscape seen through car windows as
"painted" by rain striking the glass. Three realities are represented:
the landscape viewed through the window, the surface of the window with
the raindrops, and the space inside the car. Each of the first becomes
visible depending on where the camera is focused, the third is not seen
but becomes present when the rain quiets and the sounds inside the car
are heard. 4. Views from Jiangning at Night (Chris H Lynn, 2014) Figures
and lights are reflected on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, China. 5.
Sketch Film #5 Tomonari Nishikawa ( 2007,US, Super 8, silent, 18/24fps,
b&w, 3 min.) All images had been shot at the site of Marin Headlands
County in California. The footage shows the nature in the area, as well
as historic buildings originally built for the US Army, including
batteries and the Nike Missile Site 6.Another Louisiana Story, (Pat
Doyen Super-8 film, silent, 6 min.) A journey through the swamps and
wetlands of Louisiana. These areas are disappearing - an area
approximately the size of a football field continues to slip away every
hour. Greenebelt, Md Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Rd.
10/25
Los Angeles, California: Redcat
http://www.redcat.org/
7:30 pm, REDCAT, 631 West 2nd Street
THE CHELSEA GIRLS
Presented by REDCAT and Los Angeles Filmforum. Some died in lonely drug
overdoses, some became controversial artists, some mysteriously
disappeared , some had impressive careers in B-movies, some were
faux-girls, exuding spectacular femininity (Mario Montez), some weren't
girls at all, but inspired drama queens (Ed Hood), flamboyant
philosophers (Pope Ondine) or bisexual lads in love with music (Eric
Emerson), photography (Gerard Malanga), and their own bodies.
Forty-eight years after Chelsea Girls' premiere, their bitchiness,
exuberance, humor, and Edenic experimentation with drugs, sex and art
explode on the split screen. On a Velvet Underground tune, these fragile
divas of the 15-minute fame--Nico, Brigid Berlin, Ingrid Superstar, Mary
Woronov--are forever young, glamorous, iconic and radically
transgressive. $11.00 [members $9.00]

8:30 PM, 992 Valencia St.
KASHMERES FROM DEEP + DYEMARKALVA + MCGUIRE/ARTISTIC EXERCISES
Part video essay, part a/v mixtape, From Deep looks at basketball and
its profound role in American lifeas an everyday street game, a force
in fashion and music, and a platform for broader issues of race and
class. Drawing imagery from neighborhood pick-up games, contemporary
films, music videos, and broadcast sports footage, Brett Kashmere charts
a history of the game over the last century, including its rapid
cultural rise in the 80s with the global branding of Michael Jordan, its
growing connection with hip-hop culture, and its expanding fan base.
PLUS: Local lights Steve Dye and Alfonso Alvarez team up for their
"immersive audio" In This Tunnel, a 16mm double-projection on the, yes,
visual poetry of hand-processed sports films. AND Anne McGuire's
evergreen Joe DiMaggio. At pre-show reception, double-tasking zine
editor Kashmere also launches his next Incite issue!!

SONGS FROM THE NICKEL
Alina Skrzeszewska in person from Germany! Los Angeles premiere! Sirens,
screams, laughter, singing, bartering: these are the sounds sweeping
into the rooms of Downtown Los Angeles' old forgotten hotels. Their
inhabitants' stories tell of lives lived on the margins. Director Alina
Skrzeszewska lived in one of the hotels for a year and a half, while
shooting Songs from the Nickel. The result is a strikingly intimate
portrait of people living in this largely invisible community.

7:30pm, Center for New Music, 55 Taylor Street
MAKINO TAKASHI: SPACE NOISE
Makino Takashi is one of the most prolific and adventurous filmmakers
working in Japan today and is known world wide for his complex,
immersive and overwhelming film experiences. Treating image and sound as
elements of equal importance, Makino produces immense and infinite
non-narrative and abstract film works, at once cosmic and organic, which
activate the screening space in powerful and dynamic suggestions of
depth and infinity. As part of a special West Coast tour, Makino Takashi
appears in person to present and perform live soundtracks for two recent
works: Space Noise, "a duel between the all-dominant immaculate digital
and the irregular organic material dissolves in multiple layers of
chaos," and Phantom Nebula, "a changeable ethereal gaseous mass with no
definite form" (S8: Mostra de Cinema Periférico). Completing the program
is a visitation from intergalactic travelers Rubber(()Cementfeaturing
A-Gene-Rack and the CIMEVOX 30084scrambling the screening with the
confrontational chaos of hi-speed electronic cardboard!

RADIO URUGUAY: MARK STREETS HASTA NUNCA.
Filmmaker Mark Street (Brooklyn) in person! EV is thrilled to present
the work of longtime compatriot, Mark Street, an always adventurous and
insightful filmmaker with a practice that spans from experimental film
to re-invented documentary and narrative forms. Street's experimental
narrative, Hasta Nunca follows Mario Ligetti, a middle aged hipster DJ
who produces an underground radio show in Montevideo, Uruguay. On his
show "Secrets and Stories", he invites listeners to share their intimate
thoughts with him and a live radio audience. The film is the product of
a close collaboration between Street and an Uruguayan cast and crew, and
lead actor Rufo Martínez, a real life DJ and television personality.
Shot in cinéma vérité style, Hasta Nunca takes a deeper look at one of
Latin America's under represented countries, carefully touching upon
local themes like the lingering effects of the dictatorship and the
illegality of abortion. The film interweaves documentary and fiction,
scripted narrative and improvisation, and is as much a portrait of
Montevideo as it is the story of one of its chroniclers.

Brooklyn, New York: Microscope Gallery
http://www.microscopegallery.com
7:30 pm, 1329 Willoughby Ave #2b
ROOM FILM 1973 BY PETER GIDAL
Microscope presents the landmark structural/materialist work "Room Film
1973" by English filmmaker and theoretician Peter Gidal. The 55-minute
Room Film 1973 which has influenced several generations of filmmakers
and been described as "an important enlargement of the historical
conception of modernism" by Malcolm Le Grice, "one of the best films to
come out of the London School" by Jonas Mekas, and "a very important
film because it exhausts all the ways of shooting forbidden in classic
cinema: the out of focus, the dark, the repetitive, the blurry, the
trembling, the intermittent
" by Nicole Brenez is a reminder of how
free and freeing filmmaking can be. It will be screened on its original
16mm color format. Gidal says of the film "The work is not a translation
of anything, it is not a representation of anything, not even of
consciousness". PETER GIDAL was born in 1946 and grew up in Switzerland.
After studying psychology and German literature at Brandeis University
and the University of Munich, he enrolled at the Royal College of Art in
London and began his career as an experimental filmmaker. In the 1960s
his films were shown at such 'underground' London venues as the New Arts
Lab in Drury Lane and the London Film-Maker's Co-op (which he helped to
establish) in Chalk Farm. An admirer of American structuralist
filmmakers such as Michael Snow and Hollis Frampton, Gidal's own works
are also interrogations into the formalist aspect of film, with an
emphasis on grain, duration, tempo and editing structures. [
] Along
with Malcolm LeGrice, Peter Gidal is the foremost exponent of British
structural cinema. He taught at the RCA from 1971 to 1983 and he remains
active as ever as a filmmaker and theorist [
] His films were given a
retrospective at the Pompidou Centre, Paris in 1996 and at the Lux,
London in 1998. (from "Reference Guide to British and Irish Film
Directors", Wheeler Winston Dixon) more info www.microscopegallery.com,

Austin, TX: Experimental Response Cinema
http://ercatx.org
8:00pm, GrayDUCK Gallery, 2213 E. Cesar Chavez
UTOPIA VARIATIONS: GREGG BIERMANN IN PERSON
A widely screened film and video artist who has been working since the
late '80s, Experimental Response Cinema is excited to host Gregg
Biermann, who will be in Austin to present a survey of work he completed
over the last decade. Often working with footage from Hollywood classics
like The Wizard of Oz (1939), Rear Window (1954), North by Northwest
(1959), and others, Biermann's work takes advantage of the possibilities
of digital cinema to advance rigorous compositional strategies.
"My work comes out of the avant-garde tradition of film as
visual art. Avant-garde cinema is an important and relatively young
artistic project. While it maintains its scrappy integrity, and while
many significant works have been created in subsequent decades, current
practitioners have not fully moved out of the shadow of the prodigious
1960s and '70s. The development of new tools has often determined
aesthetic innovations. Consequently, I've looked to new technologies to
discover vast unspoiled frontiers no longer available to small gauge
filmmakers interested in exploring cinematic form. Most of these works
could not have been achieved in earlier periods and are deeply rooted in
digital technology. The meaning of digital technology lies in its
ability to copy, alter, mask, fragment, super-impose, mutate, reflect,
transmit and reframe." (Gregg Biermann) Details:

GODZILLA ON MONSTER ISLAND + CHRISTIAN DIVINE/CREATURE FEATURE
For this kaiju-crazed Halloween weekend in Godzilla's 60th anniversary
year, we're unspooling a 16mm print of the most monster-dense of all the
Godzilla titles! AND we're running the optical soundtrack through a
sub-woofer for maximum mayhem!! This celluloid spectacular is considered
the second-to-weirdest of the Goji filmography, with a kid's theme park
as the main location, ludicrous human anti-heroes, and the only instance
of the lovable behemoth talking! Introducing this sublimely ridiculous
rarity is the one-and-only Christian Divine, our residentyet world
famousexpert on all films cult. Christian drops knowledge as heavy as
Godzilla himself in an amazing amalgam of anecdote and analysis,
following spooky cameos from Bigfoot and The Addams Family, and campy
kaiju commercials. Free trick-or-treats and hot sake for Kevin Garcia
and his obsessively collected action-figures. *8PM.

BILL MACKEYS REGRET AND RATIONALIZATION
Regret and Rationalization is a piece that uses sound, text, drawing,
photography, and video to explore and portray the human aptitude to
regret and rationalize at the individual and community level.
Individually, we process this loop of regret and rationalization as we
travel through the landscape (what else is there to do as we drive our
cars, ride our bicycles, or take the trolley?). Collectively, the
stories, policies and the subsequent built environment are supported by
a public process of regret and rationalization. Bill Mackey is the
principal at Worker, Inc., a company that specializes in the production
of architecture, exhibits, pamphlets, books, artworks and other
ephemera. His main objective is to explore the psychological, cultural,
physical, and political connections humans have to the physical
landscape.

MELIKA BASS: MYSTERIOUS GESTURES
We welcome noted filmmaker Melika Bass from Chicago for her first solo
show in Los Angeles. Bass presents the Los Angeles premieres of a pair
of beautifully shot (on 16mm) and performed representational dramas,
deliberately-paced, with finely noted details of objects and sounds, and
narratives elusive and possibly allusive. Shoals and Waking Things are
superb expressions of mood, wrought with portents of danger and disaster
never seen. Each film investigates the rhythms and routines of an
isolated small group of people, following a spiritual or cult-based
practice. They are almost timeless portraits, with indications of being
set in an unclear past, but Shoals also implies spaces of a potential
present, and Waking Things that of a potential future. Come see Bass's
unique explorations of the possibilities of short film art. Capped by a
dance film directed by Bass commissioned by Sigur Rós for their Valtari
Mystery Film Experiment. Tickets available in advance at
