Developed concurrently, X-ray technology extended vision beneath the skin, allowing people to view the body’s interior. Together, these tools produced spectacular new images that shaped modern conceptions of the body. Overexposed: Art, Technology, and the Body brings together research-based and educational films with contemporary artworks by 16 American and international artists to examine the historical, medical, and sociopolitical implications of seeing inside the body. The works on view were created between 1891 and 2025. *** Works included by Panteha Abareshi, Peggy Ahwesh, Zuza Banasińska, Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel, Theo Cuthand and Ruth Cuthand, Anna Kipervaser, Liz Magic Laser, Barbara Hammer, Ana Mendieta, Donald Rodney, Courtney Stephens, Agnes Questionmark, and Leslie Thornton and Ron Vawter. *** The show is organized into three overlapping sections. “Technology and Power” explores how film and X-ray technologies shaped Western claims to scientific objectivity. “Limits of the Gaze” features artists who engage with archives and found footage, and investigate their own bodies to expose and challenge the normative assumptions embedded in medical images. “Care and Control” examines how imaging tools have transformed practices of care. Overexposed invites visitors to reflect on how visualizing the inside of the body shapes medical knowledge and human experience. Organized by Sonia Epstein, Curator of Science & Technology Lead support for Overexposed was provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional generous support was provided by Romy Cohen, The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, Elaine Goldman, May & Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, and Doug Pugh. ___________________________________________________________________ *July 30 - August 3* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/series/61647> times vary, see below, 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *MARCEL DUCHAMP ON FILM* By some accounts, the great Dada artist Marcel Duchamp created only a single film: *ANÉMIC CINÉMA* (1926), a short experimental work that alternates between vertiginous rotating spirals and erotically charged typographical text. This contention is highly misleading, however, since Duchamp in fact created several moving-image works over the course of his career, including the (now-lost) collaboration with Man Ray, *ELSA, BARONESS VON FREYTAG-LORINGHOVEN, SHAVING HER PUBIC HAIR* (1921), and a collaboration with John Cage called *DISCS* (1947). Additionally, Duchamp drafted numerous ideas for films that were never actually realized, such as *TO INFINITY*, which involves projecting a film on a balloon that slowly inflates until the “screen” finally bursts. Furthermore, Duchamp’s relationship to cinema is not exhausted by analyzing the films he made (or conceived of making) – he also appears as a performer in numerous experimental films by artists like René Clair, Maya Deren, and Andy Warhol. And this is not to mention the dozens of films that have been inspired by Duchamp’s oeuvre, including films by Joseph Cornell, Hannah Wilke, and Hollis Frampton. As the found footage filmmaker Peter Tscherkassky put it, “We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and in the case of Marcel Duchamp, on very broad shoulders!” This series is presented on the occasion of the Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition, “Marcel Duchamp” (on view through August 22), and has been co-curated by Jed Rapfogel and Justin Remes. Remes is the author of “Found Footage Films: A Work of Experimental Scholarship,” “Absence in Cinema: The Art of Showing Nothing,” and “Motion(less) Pictures: The Cinema of Stasis.” Remes is currently working on a book project about Duchamp’s relationship to the cinema.

México Coyoacán 389, Xoco, Benito Juárez, 03330 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico *"We Didn't Cross the Border, The Border Crossed Us" part of "Aztlán. Túnel del tiempo"* Artists have taken the US-Mexican border as a fraught arena for public art production. From 1984 to the beginning of this century, the Border Arts Workshop/Taller de Arte Fronterizo pioneered a public-facing program of performance and exhibitions that centered on the international line. This program surveys some of the expressions of this border cinema, from a documentary on a Poblano community divided by the border to historical representations of binational families, marked by intergenerational tensions, systematic racism, and uncertain futures. With films by Ana Marchado, Alex Rivera, and others. Curated by Jesse Lerner. ___________________________________________________________________ Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61585> 4:15pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *EC: BUÑUEL / DALÍ* Luis Buñuel & Salvador Dalí *UN CHIEN ANDALOU* (1928, 22 min, 35mm, b&w) Twenty-two minutes of pure, scandalous dream-imagery, a stream of images from which anything that could be given a rational meaning was rigorously excluded. It remains the unsurpassed masterpiece of the surrealist cinema. Luis Buñuel *LAND WITHOUT BREAD / LAS HURDES: TIERRA SIN PAN* (1932, 28 min, 35mm, b&w. With English narration.) “A documentary describing, matter-of-factly, a region of Spain so ravaged by epidemic poverty that there our worst fantasies find their objective correlative.” –Raymond Durgnat Total running time: ca. 55 min ___________________________________________________________________ Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61588> 6pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *EC: L’ÂGE D’OR* by Luis Buñuel & Salvador Dalí, in French with English subtitles, 1930, 73 min, 35mm, b&w “The story is a sequence of moral and surrealist aesthetics. The sexual instinct and the sense of death form the substance of the film. It is a romantic film performed in full surrealistic frenzy.” – Luis Buñuel *SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 2026* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Los Angeles Filmforum <https://www.lafilmforum.org/schedule/summer-fall-2026/george-the-story-of-george-maciunas-and-fluxus-by-jeff-perkins/> 2:00pm PT, 2220 Arts + Archives, 2220 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA *George: The Story of George Maciunas and Fluxus, by Jeff Perkins* A feature documentary as mercurial as its subject, George Maciunas, impresario of the international avant-garde art movement Fluxus (1962-78). Fascinatingly contradictory interviews with artists, including Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, and Nam June Paik, and inventive sound and screen design, shape this rich portrait of a visionary artist. Dedicated to cooperative methods and expanded processes, everything could be Fluxus: kits, shops, festivals, islands, weddings, food, or Flux Lofts–the first network of artist-owned lofts in SoHo, New York. *Flux Film No 22: (Shout*), by Jeff Perkins, 1966, 16mm, b&w, silent, 2:10 *George: The Story of George Maciunas and Fluxus*, a film by Jeff Perkins, 2018, digital, color, sound, 128 minutes. ___________________________________________________________________ Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61589> 3:30pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *EC: LOS OLVIDADOS* (aka *THE FORGOTTEN ONES / THE YOUNG AND THE DAMNED*) by Luis Buñuel, in Spanish with English subtitles, 1950, 88 min, 35mm Fusing social realist and surrealistic elements, Buñuel’s film unflinchingly portrays the lives of a gang of juvenile delinquents on the destitute streets of Mexico City, led by the ruthless Jaibo (Roberto Cobo). Edging against neorealism but devoid of its sentimentalism, Buñuel zeroes in on the brutalities of life lived in poverty without any undercurrent of redemption. In 1951, Octavio Paz wrote of the film, “The world of *LOS OLVIDADOS* is peopled by orphans, by loners who seek communion…the quest for the ‘other,’ for our likeness, equals, is the other side of the search for the mother. Or the acceptance of her definitive absence, that knowledge that we are alone.” *LOS OLVIDADOS* was among Barbara Loden’s favorite films. ___________________________________________________________________ Venue type: *Live, physical event* Vital Signs Film Series <https://vitalsignsfilms.substack.com/p/old-poems-new-movies> 2pm PT, Shapeshifters Cinema, 567 5th St, Oakland, CA *A. Rimbaud* by Patrick Wang, 2026, 175 minutes The improbable life of French poet Arthur Rimbaud unfolds with all the shock and playfulness of his poetry. “I say one must be a seer, make oneself a seer. The Poet makes himself a seer by a long, gigantic and rational derangement of all the senses. All forms of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he exhausts within himself all the poisons, keeping only their quintessences.” So wrote the teenaged Arthur Rimbaud, that visionary enfant terrible of 19th-century French poetry, on his quest “to find a language” for what proved an enduringly outsized creative ambition. You can imagine the temptation, and the peril, of trying to express this cinematically. Perhaps with a not-famous actor alone in a black box for nearly three hours? Of Patrick Wang’s very experimental biopic, starring Blake Draper, critic Jonathan Rosenbaum writes, “A. Rimbaud has been touring this country slowly and unpredictably, picking up fans and momentum en route. Once again, like his previous masterpiece, it was turned down by every film festival it was submitted to, in effect punished for its uniqueness.” Siddhant Adlakha’s Variety review meanwhile notes “the kind of maverick indie spirit that demands a complete re-orientation of audiovisual language in a way few modern experimentalists would attempt with traditional technology.” *FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2026* Venue type: *Live, physical event* XINEMA <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/shadow-puppetry-workshop-with-eric-leiser-tickets-1990374688272> 6-9PM PST, 5050 Wales Street, Norquay Park, Vancouver, BC, Canada *Shadow Puppetry Workshop with Eric Leiser* In this workshop, participants will create handmade shadow puppets that explore organic forms, speculative creatures, and improvised image-making processes inspired by Leiser’s practice in holography, analogue cinema, sculpture, and performance. Puppets created during the workshop will become part of a collaborative expanded cinema performance presented outside XINEMA’s Fieldhouse on the opening night of Holos Gramma (Whole Picture), combining live shadow play, and 16mm film projection. No previous experience is required. All materials and tools will be provided. You're also welcome to bring objects or materials you'd like to experiment with. Workshop slots are $30 suggested donation, NOTAFLOF, (no one turned away for lack of funds). All workshop materials included! Snacks will be provided. The workshop will be held outside. In the case of inclement weather, the workshop will be held inside XINEMA’s Fieldhouse. Maximum workshop participants: 10 Minimum participant age: 10 If held indoors, this workshop is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible. Accessible public bathrooms will be open throughout the workshop's duration; in addition, indoor bathrooms will be available via a short ramp and 29” doorways. This is a mask-recommended event. Masks can be provided free of charge. If you require further financial or physical accommodation, please email [email protected] *SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026* *August 8 - 9* Venue type: Spectacle Theater <https://www.spectacletheater.com/disassociating-with-m-woods/> 7:30PM EST, 124 S 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY *Spectacle Theater presents "Disassociating with M. Woods"* (Brooklyn, NY) August 8th and 9th, Spectacle Theater and Disassociative Productions present “Disassociating with M. Woods”, showcasing the avant-garde practice of one of the most radical underground filmmakers working today. This special two day event features an in-person screening of Woods’ fourth feature film, *Commodity Trading: Dies Irae* (8/8 at 7:30PM) and a retrospective of selected short works (8/9 at 7:30PM). M. Woods will lead a post-screening discussion following both programs, emphasizing the construction of avant-garde art communities against the centrifugal force of fascistic nihilism. In the August hangover of America’s 250th birthday, an incision in our micro-cinema will open itself to the dense labyrinthine nothing that permeates its tendrils and suffocates the physical world above, infecting and hooking us to an infinite carousel of violence and self-serving detachment. This realm of lack is known to some as the Numb Spiral, a (non)place artist and filmmaker M. Woods has not only returned from, but has sought to map in their immersive —and often intermixed— body of film, photography, VR, and poetry. All screenings occur at Spectacle Theater, 124 S 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY. --- SATURDAY, AUGUST 8 – 7:30 PM ($10 w/ filmmaker in-person) more dates coming soon! --- Woods will visit Spectacle on Friday August 8th to act as both our tour guide and illicit media-pharmacist through the hallucinatory nightmare of despair and unrest of the first Trump presidency and COVID-19 pandemic, as depicted in their apocalyptic auto-biographical feature documentary *COMMODITY TRADING: DIES IRAE*. For those brave enough to experience an unsupervised multi-media collage-induced trance, this essential primer in Numb Spiral spelunking will reoccur three more times throughout the month. “The closest semblance of a plot is a man’s manic odyssey around Los Angeles, which culminates in a virtual reality experience at a Culver City mall. Woods conjures a sense of hyperreality by layering a barrage of effects—extreme fisheye, blurs, animation—to create images hat feel hyper-mediated. The film captures the fleeting thrills of digital life, mirroring the experience of someone feverishly doomscrolling through a TikTok feed full of bright colors and scenes of violence.” —Lucia Ahrensdorf, Screen Slate TICKETS: https://pools.events/event/OrPEg4tF/commodity-trading-dies-irae-w-qa --- SUNDAY, AUGUST 9 – 7:30 PM ($10 w/ filmmaker in-person) --- A prologue, epilogue, and appendix all at once for *COMMODITY TRADING: DIES IRAE*, M. Woods returns with a doctor’s bag of disassociative-media booster shots. Direct animation, inter-media collage, appropriation, vitriolic poetry, cursed family travelogues, and music videos make up this hellish cocktail. Including works preceding and following the creation of Woods’ feature and riding along interrelated streams of consciousness, titles screened in this showcase have rarely (if ever) seen a NY audience –including a few cathartic rows against Spectacle’s reluctant home of modern day Williamsburg, Brooklyn. TICKETS: https://pools.events/event/BwVQTlNT/an-evening-with-m-woods/ ___________________________________________________________________ Venue type: *Live, physical event* Los Angeles Filmforum <https://www.lafilmforum.org/schedule/summer-fall-2026/filmforum-50-program-17-floribunda-an-outdoor-garden-screening/> 8:30 pm PDT, Arlington Garden, 275 Arlington Dr, Pasadena, CA *Filmforum 50, Program 17: Floribunda, an outdoor garden screening* Contemplative, whimsical, analytical, reverential, materialist, political or diaristic - the garden has been the colorful source for a bounty of cinematic approaches. A garden can be seen to parallel a film: from small moments and separate bits of life, combined with intention and labor, grows a work that invites one in, allowing distraction or absorption. The idea of a garden itself carries realms of history and meaning: the notion of taming wilderness, mixing flora that might not normally grow together, the labor involved in creating and tending, the use and consumption of natural resources, the mix of science and aesthetics, labels of native and invasive plants, colonial reach and tranquil beauty. In this outdoor summer screening, we have chosen to share a range of contemporary short experimental films all looking closely at the life and realms of gardens. As one might expect, flowers receive a great deal of close attention, their colors and layers, cataloguing and growth, but we do not ignore the broader implications of landscapes, community, light, consumption, and the act of tending a garden. We hope you might see this program as a garden. Filmforum returns to Pasadena for this lovely set of films set in the beautiful space of Arlington Garden. Filmforum was started by Terry Cannon, then 21 years old, with its first full season, January-March 1976, held at the Neighborhood Church, just 1.8 miles from Arlington Garden up Orange Grove. Pasadena Filmforum used several locations in the city over the following eight years, then relocated to Los Angeles in 1984. Curated by Kate Lain and Adam Hyman. *Getting There*: The garden is in a quiet residential neighborhood with limited street parking. We encourage carpooling, public transit, rideshare, walking, and/or bike if possible. It is located a 15 minute walk or roll from the Metro Fillmore Station! Dedicated event parking is available. *Parking*: Please park in a lot at the corner of Orange Grove Blvd. and State St., Pasadena, CA 91105, at Westridge School (do not use school address). The lot will be open from the start until the end of the program. It is a 9 minute walk from the lot to Arlington Garden’s main entrance. If you live within a block of the Garden, please email [email protected] for the discount code Please bring blankets, low chairs, refreshments. Some chairs will be available on site, but probably not enough. Probably some wine will be available for purchase, and we plan to have popcorn for free. Doors at 7:30 for the screening area, but the garden will be open all day until dark, and is well worth exploring in the hour or two before the show. gardens as places to gather gardens as places of perceptual shifts gardens as colonial imagination gardens as fantasy gardens as sites of labor and care gardens as collections gardens as sensory wonderlands gardens as places of solitude and contemplation *Filmforum Film*, by Craig Rice, 1980, 16mm, b&w, sound, 4 min. *Discoveries on the Forest Floor 1-3*, by Charlotte Pryce, 16mm, hand processed. 2007 (SD transfer), color, silent, 4 min. *diario de verano*, by anivides (Cristal Buemi and Francisca Duran, 2025, 16mm transferred to digital, color, sound, 3:41.

This exhibition is accompanied by an expanded cinematic shadow puppet performance by Eric Leiser and XINEMA member Niloufar Samadi, outside XINEMA’s Fieldhouse at 9pm. Tickets are $15 suggested donation, NOTAFLOF (no one turned away for lack of funds). **Please note, the exhibition will only be open for the weekend. To schedule a viewing on Sunday August 9, please email [email protected].** Holos Gramma—a phrase coined by holography pioneer Dennis Gabor translating to “the whole picture”—considers how holography captures the immense amount of information contained within perceived reality. Through a site-specific installation, Eric Leiser will present new holographic assemblage works composed of both physical and captured hand-sculpted ceramics that mimic found and imagined organic forms. Inspired by the intersections of natural and scientific imagery, these arrangements mirror the hierarchies of the infinite and interstitial space between real and virtual structures in holography. Each hologram is composed of a Slavich laser-sensitive holographic film plate painted with emulsion-staining chemistry, then encoded with the objects’ three-dimensional information with laser light at a microscopic level. To accompany the exhibition, there will be an improvised, collaborative expanded cinema performance presented outside XINEMA’s Fieldhouse at 9pm on opening night. The performance will showcase live shadow puppetry, lit with looped 16mm projection and laser illuminated transmission holograms. Community-made shadow puppets, created in Leiser’s Shadow Puppetry workshop will be presented as part of the final performance. This presentation will activate the surrounding site through collective participation and ephemeral image-making—highlighting the intersections between holography, analogue cinema, sculpture, and performance; multiple facets of both Eric’s practice and broader unconventional cinematic forms. *ONGOING* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* Riverwest Radio <https://www.riverwestradio.com/show/the-long-conversation/> streaming 24/7 *THE LONG CONVERSATION* THE LONG CONVERSATION with Xav Leplae and Stephanie Barber is on indefinite hold.
