Alvarado St HEARKENINGS PRESENTS STRUCTURAL/MATERIALIST FILMS $5 / In the 1970s, the rigors of structural film were taken to an unprecedented extreme by the artists of the London Film-maker's Co-operative. Foremost among them was Peter Gidal, whose severe aesthetic was matched by a cantankerous polemicism in his theoretical writings. He argued in his essays that it was politically necessary to resist narrative, and attempted in his films to foreground the ideological processes of film viewing. Though this project may not have realized its utopian ambitions, the questions raised by Gidal et al. about the politics of film form remain relevant and necessary. Featuring: Room Film 1973 (Peter Gidal, 1973, 16mm, 54min) and Shepherd's Bush (Mike Legget, 1971, 16mm, 15min) ---------------------- SUNDAY, AUGUST 4, 2013 ---------------------- 8/4 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 4:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: CHARLIE CHAPLIN PROGRAM 1 A WOMAN (1915, 20 min, 16mm, b&w) EASY STREET (1917, 19 min, 16mm, b&w) A DOG'S LIFE (1918, 33 min, 35mm, b&w) Total running time: ca. 75 min. 8/4 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 6:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: CHARLIE CHAPLIN PROGRAM 2 SHOULDER ARMS (1918, 37 min, 35mm, b&w) SUNNYSIDE (1919, 30 min, 35mm, b&w) A DAY'S PLEASURE (1919, 19 min, 35mm, b&w) Total running time: ca. 90 min. 8/4 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: CHARLIE CHAPLIN PROGRAM 3 THE IDLE CLASS (1921, 32 min, 35mm, b&w) PAY DAY (1922, 22 min, 35mm, b&w) THE PILGRIM (1923, 41 min, 35mm, b&w) Total running time: ca. 100 min. 8/4 San Francisco: Bottom of the Hill http://www.bottomofthehill.com/calendar.html#sthash.4UkfX8HL.dpbs 9:30pm/doors 8:30pm, 1233 17th Street San Francisco, CA 94107 BALMORHEA / YOUNG MOON W/ 16MM FILM BY PAUL CLIPSON Sound/16mm film performance by Young Moon (Trevor Montgomery) and Paul Clipson.

This show, curated by Linda Fenstermaker, explores the dichotomy between staged and improvised cinematic performances. The screening begins with the 1960s psychedelic visual experiences through movement. Then it turns to explore the constructed stagings of dance on film. Will include a 1940s film by pioneering female filmmaker Sara-Kathryn Arlidge , Silvianna Goldsmith and an early 1960s romantic dance with a parking meter in London! 8/5 New York, New York: The New York Film-Makers' Cooperative film-makerscoop.com 7:30PM, 475 Park Ave South (at 32nd St), 6th Floor STAGED SPONTANEITY After the successful screening of Reflections on 16mm Performances, we are back with Performance Part II. This show, curated by Linda Fenstermaker, explores the dichotomy between staged and improvised cinematic performances. The screening begins with the 1960s psychedelic visual movement experiences and then turns to explore the constructed stagings of dance performance. The films flow through different gestures and iterations of bodily gestures that reflect the movement of the film medium itself. 8/5 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue THE GOLD RUSH by Charles Chaplin 1925/1942, 72 min, 35mm, b&w One of the most celebrated and beloved of all silent films, THE GOLD RUSH features Chaplin's most distinctive alter-ego, the little tramp, as he wins fortune and love in the Yukon. Filled with impressive sight gags and heartrending pathos, the film deserves its reputation as one of the touchstones of modern comedy. This version features Chaplin's own music and poetic narration, added for his 1942 reissue. 8/5 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:45 pm, 32 2nd Avenue LIMELIGHT by Charles Chaplin 1952, 137 min, 35mm, b&w With Charles Chaplin, Claire Bloom, Nigel Bruce, and Buster Keaton. A glimmering homage to a bygone entertainment era and a bittersweet tale of an artist passing the torch to a new generation. Chaplin portrays Calvero, who rescues a distraught ballerina (Bloom) from suicide and mentors her to success. Among the film's comedy highlights is a musical routine that's anything but routine in the hands of legends Chaplin and stone-faced Buster Keaton. "Chaplin's 1952 film is overlong, visually flat, episodically constructed, and a masterpiece it isn't 'cinema' on any terms but Chaplin's own, but those are high terms indeed. [ ] The final shot is among the most eloquent and moving images I know, a picture of the soul in flight." Dave Kehr, CHICAGO READER ----------------------- TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 2013 ----------------------- 8/6 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: CLAIR/PICABIA/BUNUEL/DALI PROGRAM René Clair & Francis Picabia ENTR'ACTE (1924, 22 min, 35mm, b&w) A masterpiece of Dada and a feat of cinema magic. Made as intermission entertainment for the Ballet Suédois from an impromptu scene by Francis Picabia. 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's still 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. 75 min. ------------------------- WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2013 ------------------------- 8/7 New York, New York: Another Experiment by Women Film Festival https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=another+experiment+by+women+film+festival&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 6:00 PM, Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Ave (at 2nd St.), NY NY ANOTHER EXPERIMENT BY WOMEN FILM FESTIVAL - 2ND SCREENING BETWEEN THE WAVES; Tejal Shah; INDIA; Editor: Dhanya Pilo; Sound (design & com-position) Floy Krouchi, Hari Dwarak, Tejal Shah; Sound (mix) Hari Dwarak; TRT: 26:15 min A palimpsestic approach engages a specific art historical discourse and wedges open a unique position that encompasses the queer, non-binary, eco-sexual, inter-special, technological, spiritual and scientific, while it poetically surpasses them all to present it's own unbounded, awkward, in/appropriated organism in the form of this installation. MOTION COLOR; Martyna Merkel; POLAND; editing,animation, drawing, painting: Martyna Merkel; Producer: Pedro Ferreira; Music: Salakapakka Sound System; TRT: 4.20 min Moving images are reflected in my paintings. Stamped textures, mixed with drawn animation and 8mm film. NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY / MY LITTLE NIGHT SEA JOURNEY Experiment No. IV; M. Kardinal; Music: Metal & Glass Ensemble; Germany; TRT: 3.10 min The unconscious mind: the sensitive experience walks across unconscious paths and primitive instinctual behaviors. Following the mind projections, we sail our Odyssey through a sea of subconscious traps and temptations. The memories and the wishes face the alteration of the impossible, slipping into the truth. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human drama in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in ordinary day life. The night sea journey (Nachtmeerfahrt) is a metaphor used by C. G. Jung for the mental process performed by being confronted in dreams and imaginations with the mental images of the personal past, the unconscious complexes, and the archetypes of the collective unconscious in order to reflect consciously. For this series of moving images I worked with an obsolete video technique. Non-Euclidean geometry | Nachtmeerfahrten is based on found VHS-footage which I manipulated analog. MEMENTO MORI; Direction, script, Animation: Daniela Wayllace; Sound/Mixage: Deborah Dourneau; Music: Alejandro Rivas Cottle; Edition: Alejandra Aguilar C.; BELGIUM;TRT: 10.00 min In a mourning ceremony the photographer takes a picture of a little girl. Contrite assistants leave the room, leaving it surrounded by flowers; while little by little we approach the girl and recoup her memories and the universe of death. HARTE ARBEIT, KARGER LOHN / HARD LABOR, MEAGER PAY; Beate Hecher; AUSTRIA; TRT: 2.12 min "Hard Labor, Meager Pay" is a grotesque animation on the question of what is work and what is pay. BITCH BEAUTY; MM Serra; USA; TRT: 7.00; Super8 & 16MM to digi An experimental documentary profiling the life of Anne Hanavan, whose experiences as part of the underground scene in the East Village of the Eighties paralleled those of now-deceased Zoë Tamerlis Lund. Lund was an actor and screenwriter of Abel Ferrara's film, Bad Lieutenant. She died of heart failure due to extended cocaine use in 1999. Using Hanavan's films, performances, readings, and music as well as footage from Lund's work, BITCH BEAUTY is an intense time capsule of addiction, the perils of street prostitution, and subsequent renewal or revival through cathartic self-expression. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU SO LONG; Claudia Siefen; AUSTRIA; Mix: Synchro Film Audio & Video; Executive Producer: Marie TAPPERO; Business Management: Elisabeth CHOBEL-SPANOUDIS/Steirer, Mika & Comp; Producer: Gabriele KRANZELBINDER; Production: KGP Kranzelbinder Gabriele Production GmbH; TRT: 3:36 min The moment of lifting an apron promises tension. In many cases, the Protagonist is left alone and is waiting for something or someone. That can be danger or a threat, pleasure or tenderness. Scenes from Hollywood films in which aprons are used for gestural expressions connect some of them are doubled, and/or change speed for an easier analysis. The closer the better. PUSH / PULL / RECOVER; Terra Long; CUBA; Camera: Tara Khalilia; TRT: 3.39 min Animated meditation on motion through stillness with breath. Shot in single frames on 16mm and hand painted. 8/7 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: L'AGE D'OR by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí In French with English subtitles, 1930, 73 min, 35mm, b&w Conventional attempts at plot synopsis wither in the face of L'ÂGE D'OR. In Buñuel's words, "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." 8/7 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:45 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: LOS OLVIDADOS by Luis Buñuel In Spanish with English subtitles, 1950, 88 min, 35mm, b&w Buñuel's unsentimental view of Mexico's poor, with equal parts of cruelty and surrealism. A sort of sequel to LAND WITHOUT BREAD. ------------------------ THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 2013 ------------------------ 8/8 Los Angeles, California: Echo Park Film Center http://www.echoparkfilmcenter.org/ 8 pm, 1200 N. Alvarado St ROBERT NELSON RETROSPECTIVE PROGRAM #5: DAVID KING, THE MOBLèD QUEEN, AND THE OAK OF THE GOLDEN DREAM $5 / The fifth (and final, for now) in a series of tribute screenings to the late, great Robert Nelson (19302012).

Dovzhenko champions the progression of life, class struggle, and new attitudes for a town changed by a tractor and a fallen hero. 8/9 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 8:45 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ARSENAL by Alexandr Dovzhenko No English intertitles (English synopsis available), 1928-29, 87 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent One of Dovzhenko's few completely independent films, from script to screen. ARSENAL is a civil war epic envisioned in unusual, painterly images: a fallen soldier drunk on the enemy's laughing gas his frozen body still baring its teeth long after the battle and his life are over. 8/9 San Francisco, CA: Artists Television Access http://www.atasite.org/ 7pm, 992 Valencia CLAIRE BAIN: PERFORMANCE/SCREENING/MAKER EVENT: "NEW!

Alvarado St ROLLS (1971) BY ROBERT HUOT $5 / Painter, filmmaker, and dairy farmer Robert Huot made a series of landmark diary pieces beginning in 1970, spanning different media (including painting) throughout the decade, but ROLLS (1971) stands as one of his very greatest. Hailed by critic Scott MacDonald as an astonishing work that was "unlike any I'd seen to that point, an aggressively personal film shot with formal rigor and elegance and organized into an ingenious structure," ROLLS (1971) is extremely rarely seen, and a major work of the American personal film movement. Rolls (1971) by Robert Huot, 1971, 16mm, b/w & color, silent, 97 minutes. We will be screening Huot's personal 16mm print. No one under 18 admitted. 8/10 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 5:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ZVENIGORA by Alexandr Dovzhenko No English intertitles (English synopsis available), 1928, 96 minutes, 35mm, b&w, silent Dovzhenko's second film, attacked by Soviet critics for being so beautifully rendered as to actually lessen its political impact, remains today a "cinematic poem" as the director named it. Episodic, folkloric, and allegorical, it is a mythic search for hidden treasure by two brothers. Dovzhenko wrote: "I did not so much make the picture as sing it out like a songbird." 8/10 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: THE PARSON'S WIDOW by Carl Th. Dreyer No English intertitles (English synopsis available), 1921, 78 min, 35mm, b&w, silent (PRASTANKAN) A lyrical, early Dreyer comedy. A young parson wins a plum parish in 17th century Norway, but is obliged to marry the widow of his deceased predecessor and pretend his attractive young fiancée is his sister. The master's touch is evident in the close-ups of the pastor's would-be rivals and parishioners and a slow pan presaging the 360-degree views of VAMPYR. 8/10 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 9:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: VAMPYR by Carl Th. Dreyer In Danish with no subtitles (English synopsis available), 1931-32, 70 min, 35mm, b&w "Imagine that we are sitting in a very ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse behind the door. Instantly, the room we are sitting in has taken on another look. The light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are physically the same. This is because we have changed and the objects are as we conceive them. This is the effect I wanted to produce in VAMPYR." Carl Dreyer ----------------------- SUNDAY, AUGUST 11, 2013 ----------------------- 8/11 New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 5:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue ESSENTIAL CINEMA: DAY OF WRATH by Carl Th. Dreyer In Danish with English subtitles, 1943, 100 min, 35mm, b&w (VREDENS DAG) "Carl Dreyer's art begins to unfold at the point where most other directors give up. Witchcraft and martyrdom are his themes but his witches don't ride broomsticks, they ride the erotic fears of their persecutors. It is a world that suggests a dreadful fusion of Hawthorne and Kafka." Pauline Kael 8/11 Oakland: Shapeshifters Cinema http://shapeshifterscinema.com/ 8-9PM, Temescal Art Center, 511 48th St, Oakland, CA SHAPESHIFTERS CINEMA PRESENTS KADET KUHNE Kadet will be premiering "Quantum Tunneling," a new video piece about penetrating barriers, along with her videos "Rebound" and "Fight or Flight."
