ALSO: In its world debut is David Sherman’s 20-min. time-travelog of human habitation in the Tucson territory, Encoded Exploded. AND Chip Lord’s What Do They Do There? on latter-day activity around Ant Farm’s Cadillac Ranch installation in northern Texas. PLUS a S8 tour of Carlsbad Caverns, a piece from Daniel himself (Slab City Guitarist), Nik Nerburn’s 14 Bales, Sierra Pettengill’s Graven Image (on the largest Confederate monument), and OZ’s forlorn farewell to the Standing Rock occupation, Oceti Sakowin Apocalypse. SUNDAY, MARCH 25, 2018 3/25 Los Angeles, California: Filmforum http://www.lafilmforum.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=155a5f57d3&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 pm, Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd. 1968: BLACK PANTHERS AND BLACK POWER (VISIONS OF NEW POSSIBILITIES, PART 1) LA Premiere of Amiri Baraka’s rediscovered film “The New-Ark”! Over the course of the year, Filmforum will present a variety of films reflecting the turbulent global events of 1968, films made in that time, and works reflecting on the long-term effects and disappointments of the activist efforts and violent responses. Our first screening in the series first looks at the real Black Panthers and their actions in Oakland, through their own film, and through the view of an outside sympathetic observer, Agnès Varda. In addition, two lesser known works remind us of the cultural and student actions of the year. San Francisco State: On Strike covers the student efforts, led by students of color but joined by the full spectrum, to expand the educational possibilities at a state university. And in Newark, New Jersey, Amiri Baraka (then still going by the name LeRoi Jones), made an experimental documentary of the theatrical and political actions of African-Americans in the city in 1968. Thought lost for many years, one copy of Baraka’s film turned up at the Harvard Film Archive in 2014 and is now transferred and available for view, its vibrant colors and consciousness-raising intact for our generation. Certainly the first screening in Los Angeles since the 1970s, and possibly the LA premiere. This show curated by Alison Kozberg and Adam Hyman. Tickets: $10 general; $6 for students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at https://bpt.me/3373885 or at the door.

As Indiana slowly eats one mushroom, the action is rendered mysterious by Warhol's decision to assemble the rolls out of order, so the mushroom appears to magically renew itself from time to time." -Callie Angell James Sibley Watson & Melville Webber FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER (1928, 13 min, 16mm, b&w, silent) "Filmed in a Rochester, New York, carriage house, this expressionist film is the earliest live-action dramatic film made by a collaboration of poets and artists in the United States. Watson devised the optical effects that distinguish the film, while Webber provided its visual design, based upon medieval frescoes." -Robert A. Haller John & James Whitney FILM EXERCISES 1-5 (1943-45, 18 min, 16mm) "The visual images in these films were created by shining light through flexible masks, so that the camera was filming direct light rather than light reflected from drawings. The results seem like dazzling neon apparitions, that were as novel and shocking as the accompanying soundtrack." -William Moritz James Whitney LAPIS (1963-66, 10 min, 16mm) "The most elaborate example of a mandala in cinema. It utilizes a field of tiny dots, symmetrically organized in hundreds of very fine concentric rings, to generate slowly changing intricate patterns…. Both structurally and visually LAPIS conforms to the circular form of the mandala; its elaborate movements belie a fundamental stasis." -P. Adams Sitney Total running time: ca. 80 min. 3/25 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=599cb9a114&e=f36020cad0> 8:00 PM, 32 Second Avenue EC: ANDY WARHOL: HAIRCUT (NO. 1) & KISS HAIRCUT (NO. 1) (1963, 24 min, 16mm, b&w, silent) "A fascinating example of Warhol's early minimalist style, HAIRCUT (NO. 1) is shot from a number of different angles, each of which is exquisitely composed and lit. Warhol made at least three different films restaging Billy Name's famous haircutting parties. In this version, a slow motion haircut, sustained through different compositions and poses, is transformed into an enigmatic, homoerotic display." -Callie Angell KISS (1963-64, 48 min, 16mm, b&w, silent) "First shown as individual films in the fall of 1963 under the title 'Andy Warhol Serial,' KISS features slow-motion sequences of couples kissing, each kiss lasting for one entire roll. This version stars Naomi Levine, Gerard Malanga, Jane Holzer, Marisol, Harold Stevenson, and other figures from both the Factory and the New York art scene." -Callie Angell THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2018 3/29 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=cac045bf08&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue EC: KENNETH ANGER, PROGRAM 1 FIREWORKS (1947, 15 min, 16mm-to-35mm, b&w.

Preserved by the UCLA Film & Television Archive, with funding from the Film Foundation.) EAUX D'ARTIFICE (1953, 13 min, 16mm) SCORPIO RISING (1963, 30 min, 16mm) Poetry, psychodrama, and the occult meet in these timeless works by one of the pioneers of American avant-garde film. Total running time: ca. 85 min. FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 2018 3/30 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=f5574be7aa&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue EC: KENNETH ANGER, PROGRAM 2 KUSTOM KAR KOMMANDOS (1965, 3 min, 16mm) INAUGURATION OF THE PLEASURE DOME (1954-66, 38 min, 16mm) INVOCATION OF MY DEMON BROTHER (1969, 12 min, 16mm) Total running time: ca. 60 min. 3/30 San Francisco, California: San Francisco Cinematheque http://www.sfcinematheque.org <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=ca9ec7003e&e=f36020cad0> 7:30, Artists' Television Access / 992 Valencia Street (at 21st Street) San Francisco, CA 94110 JESSE MALMED: UNTITLED (JUST KIDDING) Jesse Malmed in Person // Admission: $10 General Admission/$5 for Cinematheque members // In order to make a one-liner, one must first invent the universe. Swinging through town on a west coast tour, Chicago’s own lingua-contrarian enunciationist Jesse Malmed unspools Untitled (Just Kidding), an ever-evolving suite of films and performative interjections made over the last half decade. Jesse Malmed: “The works play in creative reading, studied density, the one-(hundred)-liner, choirs, screen texts, the bootleg, the cover, jokes, speculative etymologies, accents, loops, the cinemagical, body swaps, poetry, citation and human voice. Conceptually engaged, language-intensive and visually mesmerizing, the suite scrambles somewhere in the intersects of conceptual comedy, dizzying illogics, the poetic plu-future and sustainable sourcing. Through deliberate mistranslation and strategic denaturing of languages and codes, [Malmed] revels in and reveal[s] their extra-communicative potential as sound, as image, as object, and shift audiences’ concepts of the show, of the cinema.” (Untitled (Just Kidding)) Screening to include collisions and confoundments between textual forms—written, spoken, sung and otherwise enunciated; variations on versioning; shifting registers of spectatorial engagement and (maybe) an impromptu demo on spotlight expressivity in relation to the cinema proscenium. Expect to see the following videos and a lot lot more. SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2018 3/31 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=47f3ee2a94&e=f36020cad0> 5:45 PM, 32 Second Avenue EC: BRUCE BAILLIE PGM MASS FOR THE DAKOTA SIOUX (1963-64, 20 minutes, 16mm, b&w) QUIXOTE (1964-65, 45 minutes, 16mm) "In MASS and QUIXOTE [Baillie] subtly blends glimpses of the heroic personae with despairing reflections on violence and ecological disaster. […] Despite his sophistication, Baillie remains an innocent; the whole of his cinema exhibits an alternation between two irreconcilable themes: the sheer beauty of the phenomenal world (few films are as graceful to the eye as his, few are as sure of their colors) and the utter despair of forgotten men. It is in QUIXOTE alone that these two themes emerge into a dialectical form, an antithesis of grace and disgrace." -P. Adams Sitney, VISIONARY FILM Total running time: ca. 70 min. 3/31 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=8afd3a3be6&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue EC: QUICK BILLY by Bruce Baillie. Bruce Baillie's journey through "the dark wood encountered in the middle of life's journey" (Dante), with references to Bardo Thodol. A major work from one of the great poets of cinema. Plus: QUICK BILLY: SIX ROLLS; 14/41/43/46/47/52 (1968-69, 16 min, 16mm) Six uncut camera rolls to be shown with QUICK BILLY. The 'rolls' took the form of a correspondence, or theater, between their author and Stan Brakhage, in the winter of 1968-69. 3/31 San Francisco, California: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=4c5a26acaf&e=f36020cad0> 8 PM, 992 Valencia Street OPTRONICA1:LIVE A/VKRANKING KABIENT HANS GRUSEL/BRUTALLO + DAVIS/IANNAZZI + Our infamous Optronica Live AudioVisual initiative enjoys its spring inauguration with the triumphant return of Hans Grüsel's Krankenkabinet!!
