JEAN-CLAUDE ROUSSEAU'S LA VALLEE CLOSE 
La Vallée close, Jean-Claude Rousseau, 1995, digital projection, 143 mins. 
“Every shot (frame, image, light) of La Vallée close issues a roll of the dice, 
and casts into nothingness three-quarters of contemporary film—along with its 
directors of photography.” - Jean-Marie Straub, “Letter about La Vallée close” 
“La Vallée close emerged from different elements, and I was watching the 
elements orient themselves without being able to say where it was leading. 
These different vectors were converging at a single place and making the film 
itself this nexus: Petrarch, a geography book, a Giorgione painting, an erotic 
photo, an abandoned factory, the fountain at Vaucluse, and then inspiring 
correspondences between all these, as if validating them, the text by Lucretius 
on the movement of atoms, or more exactly, Bergson’s summary of it that he did 
in a book for philosophy students. But actually this film originated in the 
water of the Sorgue. There were a few deep-dive expeditions to find out where 
the water originates. That mystery is also at the heart of Petrarch’s poetry. 
And so these elements should hold our attention, produce a tension that’s going 
to orient everything towards the place of the film, whose subject will not 
reveal itself as a whole until its end.” - JCR

TAIWAN, PROG. 2: EXPERIMENTAL SHORTS FROM THE 1960S 
This program includes five films by artists who were indirectly involved in the 
1960s artistic experiments. Theatre Quarterly not only delivered the latest 
news regarding the Western art world, but also functioned as a platform for 
artists to present their new creations. Macao-born, Hong Kong-based film critic 
Law Kar and Hong Kong's renowned writer Xi Xi both served briefly as editor of 
Theatre Quarterly in the 1960s, in addition to making experimental films. Tom 
Davenport, an American independent filmmaker, spent years studying the Chinese 
language and culture in Taiwan, and was commissioned by National Geographic to 
film there. This program includes his first documentary, T'AI CHI CH'UAN, in 
which he filmed the philosopher Nan Huai-chin practicing Tai-chi on Taiwan's 
northeastern coast. The last two shorts provide an indirect view of the 
artistic achievements of Huang Hua-cheng, a pivotal figure who co-founded 
Theatre Quarterly and spearheaded the 1960s experimental movement in theater, 
film, and visual art. As none of Huang's video works have survived, the video 
documentation of the 1994 seminar "Theatre Quarterly and I," in which Huang 
played his 1967 film EXPERIMENT 002 in the original 8mm format, provides a 
glimpse of his own work, while THE PROPHET is a recent video remake of Huang's 
first experimental theater piece by artist Su Yu-hsien (born 1982). Law Kar 
ROUTINE (Hong Kong) (1969, 19 min, 16mm-to-digital) Xi Xi THE MILKY WAY (Hong 
Kong) (1968, 2 min, 16mm-to-digital) Tom Davenport T'AI CHI CH'UAN (USA) (1969, 
10 min, 16mm-to-digital) EXPERIMENT 002 (1994, 39 min, VHS-to-digital) Su 
Yu-hsien THE PROPHET (2016, 20 min, DCP. In Chinese with English subtitles. 
This film was originally created as a two-channel video installation, but is 
presented here as a single-channel video.) Total running time: ca. 95 min.

8:00 PM, 32 Second Avenue
TAIWAN, PROG. 3: I DIDN'T DARE TO TELL YOU 
Mou Tun-fei I DIDN'T DARE TO TELL YOU 1969, 78 min, 35mm-to-digital. In Chinese 
with English subtitles. Born in China in 1941, Mou Tun-fei moved to Taiwan in 
1949. He declared that cinema would be his lifework while he was still an art 
school student. I DIDN'T DARE TO TELL YOU and THE END OF THE TRACK, both 
included in this series, are the only two feature-length films he made in 
Taiwan and are among the nation's first independent titles. Both films went 
unreleased, for unknown reasons, though rumor has it that the realistic 
depiction of a stifling society in I DIDN'T DARE TO TELL YOU and the hint of 
homosexuality in THE END OF THE TRACK could be to blame. Discouraged, Mou spent 
the following years traveling in Europe and South America before working in 
Hong Kong for Shaw Brothers Pictures, where he became known for making gory 
genre films. In I DIDN'T DARE TO TELL YOU, a primary school student secretly 
works a night job to pay off his father's gambling debts, and as a result 
constantly dozes off during his daytime classes. When the teacher investigates, 
a series of family disputes ensues. Though only a small number of people saw 
the film at private screenings upon its completion, its realistic style has 
nevertheless proven influential. One reel of the film remains lost, and the 
only available copy has an abrupt, inconsistent ending that was most likely 
imposed by the government for propagandistic purposes. Preceded by: Richard 
Yao-chi Chen THE MOUNTAIN (1966, 19 min, 16mm-to-digital. In Chinese with 
English subtitles.)

PSYCHO-GEO3: GRETA SNIDER'S 3-D + LANA CAPLAN + ALEX COPPOLA + 
The second half of our Focus on Locus double-header features two world 
premieres—exquisite expanded cinema/retinal rivalry pieces by the Mission’s own 
Greta Snider, plus a timely revival of her epochal 16mm diary Portland, 
train-hopping with Ivy McClelland and Iggy Scam! Lana Caplan breaks away from 
her SLO college gig to unspool a NorCal debut, Patches of Snow in July (Hawaii 
volcano), as well as her earlier Maelstroms (Mexico border). Long-lost ally 
Alex Coppola flies in from Philly to not only open the show, but close it as 
well, with his world-class World Music vinyl selections, set to an absolutely 
sublime sampler of mid-20C personal travelogues—glorious Kodachrome shot in 
four sites, from East to West, across the Pacific—Hong Kong, Tahiti, the Andes, 
and the Amazon. As to marginal spaces in the US interior: Brea Weinreb debuts 
Framing History, a collective S8 remediation of home movies from Japanese 
internees in the Amache, Colorado camp. PLUS: Matt McCormick’s cautionary 
America Nutria, on a Southern mammal now munching on Coast rhizomes! *$8

CONNECTIVITY THROUGH CINEMA PRESENTS FIELD AND FRAME. W/ BEA HAUT & JENNY 
BAINES IN PERSON. 
Join Mono No Aware in welcoming artists Bea Haut of Film in Process and Jenny 
Baines (both in person!) and the work of Laura Hindmarsh for a special 
Connectivity Through Cinema screening++ Present both before and behind the 
camera, Baines, Haut and Hindmarsh use film structures and materiality to map 
out subjectivities, landscapes and consequent interlacing dialogues. Activating 
places and spaces, this program rebounds with echoes and absorptions, the self 
and the body, drawing perimeters and crossing them. The Connectivity Through 
Cinema : Artist-In-Person Screening Series is sponsored, in part, by the 
Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City New York City 
Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).

CC39 - EDWARD KIHN: INNOVATION / DEGRADATION 
Edward Kihn’s work ranges across documentary, experimental cinema and moving 
image installation and focuses, particularly, on the political economy of 
technology as it manifests in various historical geographical contexts. The 
theme that connects the work in this short program is the entanglement of 
today’s techno-science and innovation with human and planetary degradation. He 
has received grants from organizations such as the New York Foundation for the 
Arts (NYFA), the Experimental Television Center (ETC) and the CUNY P.S.C., and 
has been a fellow at the Whitney Independent Study Program and the Art & Law 
Program. His work has been published in Journals such as Unweave and shown at 
venues such as Artists Space, the San Diego Museum of Art, Sculpture 
Center,Marginal Utility, the Artists Institute, Winnipeg Underground Film 
Festival, Athens International Film and Video Festival and the Copenhagen 
International Film Festival, (CPH:DOX). He teaches Film Studies at CUNY 
LaGuardia and CUNY John Jay Colleges in New York.

TAIWAN, PROG. 4: THE END OF THE TRACK 
Mou Tun-fei THE END OF THE TRACK 1970, 91 min, 35mm-to-digital. In Chinese with 
English subtitles. Tong and Yong-sheng are inseparable playmates, but when 
Yong-sheng dies in a track training accident with Tong present, Tong feels 
heartbroken and guilt-ridden. Burdened by solitude after losing his best 
friend, Tong falls into a dark spiral. At the time, this film was banned due to 
its homosexual overtones. Some felt that certain segments drew comparison with 
the short story THE NOODLE STALL by Chen Ying-zhen, a key figure of Taiwan's 
1960s literary movement who was imprisoned twice for "subversive activity."

TAIWAN, PROG. 5: EXPERIMENTAL SHORTS FROM THE 1960S 
This program presents films by five key figures, including filmmaker Pai 
Ching-jui (1931-97), painter Han Hsiang-ning (born 1939), photographers Chuang 
Ling and Chang Chao-tang, and designer Long Sih-liang (1937-2012). While the 
movement was short-lived these filmmakers went on to become well-established 
artists in their own disciplines. Pai, the first person from Taiwan to study 
film in Italy, built his reputation making classic melodramas and literary 
adaptations. Han, still active today, is a noted painter, while Chuang and 
Chang are two highly respected photographers in Taiwan, and Long created many 
memorable visual designs for films and books. The works in this program were 
either made as silent films or suffered damage to their soundtracks. This 
screening will be accompanied by a live musical performance by sound artist C.

NOT SORRY #3: HOME 
Stories of political and social upheaval are often accompanied with typical 
media images of suffering or violence. But the resulting displacement, whether 
physical or psychological, can be an experience both individual and collective. 
 People carry tradition and ritual across borders and time, but also within 
their own daily realities. How can such traumas, expressions of longing for a 
place that may not really exist, or even celebratory moments of finding home be 
represented? This third screening of "Not Sorry: Feminist Experimental Film 
from the 1970s to Today" pursues the general theme of home and how the female 
voice may call to it, reject it, or endure it. Included is Basma Alsharif’s 
"Home Movies Gaza" (2013), a view from a domestic space in one of the most 
contested territories in modern politics; Barbara McCullough’s "Water Ritual 
#1," a film ambiguously set in a demolished area of Watts that through 
performance expresses Black women’s ongoing struggle for spiritual and 
psychological space; and Yau Ching’s in-camera edited "Video Letters 1-3" 
(1993) that served as the nomadic Hong Kong video artist’s preferred mode of 
communication to the people she missed.

Ian Hugo BELLS OF ATLANTIS (1952, 10 min, 16mm. Preserved by the Library of 
Congress through the Avant-Garde Masters program funded by The Film Foundation 
and administered by the National Film Preservation Foundation.) A film poem, 
based on Anaïs Nin's HOUSE OF INCEST, narrated by and featuring Nin. "[BELLS 
OF ATLANTIS was] inspired by the prologue to my HOUSE OF INCEST and the line: 
'I remember my first birth in water.' The film evoked the watery depths of the 
lost continent of Atlantis. It is a lyrical journey into prenatal memories, the 
theme of birth and rebirth from the sea." -Anaïs Nin Ken Jacobs LITTLE STABS 
AT HAPPINESS (1959-63, 18 min, 16mm. With Jack Smith.) "Material was cut in as 
it came out of the camera, embarrassing moments intact. 100' rolls timed well 
with music on old 78s. I was interested in immediacy, a sense of ease, and an 
art where suffering was acknowledged but not trivialized with dramatics. Whimsy 
was our achievement, as well as breaking out of step." -Ken Jacobs Helen 
Levitt, Janice Loeb, and James Agee IN THE STREET (1952, 12 min, 16mm, b&w. 
Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.) "Informality is indeed the crucial and 
virtually definitive quality of IN THE STREET; it is even the guiding principle 
and vision. […] This is the extreme realization of a classic 'naturalistic' 
genre, the German 'street film,' where the street was imaged as the arena of 
the everyday and random, the channel in which the 'stream of life' conveniently 
became microcosmic." -Ken Kelman, THE ESSENTIAL CINEMA Willard Maas GEOGRAPHY 
OF THE BODY (1943, 7 min, 16mm, b&w. Preserved by Anthology with support from 
The National Film Preservation Foundation.) "The terrors and splendors of the 
human body as the undiscovered, mysterious continent." -Willard Maas Total

AFA MEMBERS ONLY: 30TH ANNIVERSARY IN THE 2ND AVENUE COURTHOUSE 
AFA MEMBERS ONLY - FREE SCREENING! 30TH ANNIVERSARY IN THE SECOND AVENUE 
COURTHOUSE Once every calendar we offer a special, AFA Members-Only screening, 
featuring sneak-previews of upcoming features, programs of rare materials from 
Anthology's collections, in-person filmmaker presentations, and more! The 
benefits of an Anthology membership have always been plentiful: free admission 
to over 100 Essential Cinema programs, reduced admission to all other shows, 
discounted AFA publications. But with these screenings - free and open only to 
members - we sweeten the pot even further. This fall's screening celebrates 30 
years of Anthology Film Archives at the Second Avenue Courthouse building. 
Founded in 1970, AFA first opened at the Joseph Papp Public Theater, and later 
moved to a space in George Maciunas's Fluxhouse at 80 Wooster. But true 
stability only came with the acquisition in 1979 of the historic Second Avenue 
Courthouse. After nearly a decade of fundraising and renovation, we re-opened, 
in a re-conceived and much-expanded form, on October 12, 1988. To celebrate 
this milestone, we will be screening Robert Frank's C'EST VRAI (ONE HOUR), an 
unedited, real-time exploration of the East Village in 1990. Combining 
non-fiction documentation of the neighborhood and its denizens with staged 
encounters, the film includes a glimpse of the then-brand-new Anthology as well 
as appearances from local luminaries such as Taylor Mead, Bill Rice, Tom 
Jarmusch, and others. We'll supplement Frank's piece with "Strange to Meet 
You," the first of Jim Jarmusch's COFFEE AND CIGARETTES shorts, filmed in the 
upstairs lobby, as well as an excerpt from Jonas Mekas's recent diary-film 
portrait of the architect responsible for the Courthouse renovation, SCENES 
FROM THE LIFE OF RAIMUND ABRAHAM (2014), which opens with an unforgettable 
record of the feverish hours leading up to our official re-opening. Join us for 
this tribute to our home of three decades, as we prepare for the first major 
renovation to the building since 1988! Special thanks to Chris Chouinard (Park 
Circus) and Marian Luntz (Museum of Fine Arts Houston). Become a member at our

FROM UTOPIA TO QUEER UTOPIA 
Andrés Senra will present two works born out of his research about the city as 
a body where social, political and economical tensions are acting and being 
projected onto. Andrés' process involves a mixture of documentation, archive, 
fiction, reality and poetry. Auslandia: Paraiso, a performative work of 
speculative fiction, explores a utopian community that goes through a full 
civilization cycle ending up in violence. Kommune is a film about the Birth of 
a new city, based under the common interest of creating a utopia established on 
the most radical freedom. A project about the very concept of utopia, its 
limits and possibilities, in relation to the history of Western thought and 
literature. The Free Town of Christiania is a self-managed city of about 900 
residents in Christianshavn district in the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen. 
Christiania proclaimed itself an independent community on September 26, 1970. 
The history of Christiania begins with the occupation of a military abandoned 
area by parents who were claiming for spaces where their children could play. 
Senra created a series of portraits about notions that should be considered 
when talking about how a community works: feelings, structure, empowerment, 
urbanity, architecture, design, dreams, nature, expectations, agreements, 
organization, fears and inside / outside the city. PROGRAM: Auslandia: Paraiso

NATURE PRESERVES WHAT THE PEOPLE FORGET: THE FILMS OF UTE AURAND PART 1 
Los Angeles premieres, with Ute Aurand in person! Los Angeles Filmforum is 
pleased to present the work of Berlin-based filmmaker Ute Aurand with the 
artist in attendance. Stemming from the lyrical tradition of diary filmmaking 
and artisanal practices, her active and playful films emphasize the natural and 
social worlds through intimate forms of portraiture. She gives distinct 
attention to the inner dialogues of thought and the tactile experiences of 
women. Considered as portraits, her subjects do not reside in isolation, but 
move in conversation with their surroundings and with the interactive circuits 
of the filmmaker. Her responsive handheld 16mm camerawork creates a palpable 
rhythmic sensibility, while her montage brings together disparate passages of 
change occurring in her own life and in the lives of her subjects. These 
screenings include the work of Scottish film poet Margaret Tait (1918–1999), an 
influential filmmaker for Aurand. Together these works draw upon the wanderings 
of daily life and the search for fleeting moments of presence, dropping a 
myopic intensification of experience in favor of an exuberant engagement with 
the world. Tickets: $10 general; $6 for students/seniors; free for Filmforum 
members. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at

A SALON WITH LYNNE SACHS 
*** DOORS 7:00 PM *** *** SHOWTIME 7:30 PM *** Please join Canyon Cinema for 
the next installment of our Salon series with filmmaker and Canyon board member 
Lynne Sachs, who will be presenting A Biography of Lilith (1997). A prismatic 
and deeply personal meditation on the Lilith story, Biography freely mixes 
documentary portraiture and memoir, cabalistic text and original poetry, 
dramatization and impressionistic camerawork, sculpture and song. The evening 
will also feature a live reading by Lizzie Olesker, a New York-based playwright 
and co-director with Sachs on The Washing Machine (screening at BAMPFA on 
Wednesday, October 24th), as well as two feminist meditations on the body from 
the Canyon collection: Gunvor Nelson and Dorothy Wiley’s proto-punk assemblage, 
Schmeerguntz (1965), and Greta Snider’s quietly revelatory Blood Story (1990). 
--- A BIOGRAPHY OF LILITH (Lynne Sachs / 35min. / color / sound / 1997) In a 
lively mix of off-beat narrative, collage and memoir, A BIOGRAPHY OF LILITH 
updates the creation myth by telling the story of the first woman and for some, 
the first feminist. Lilith's betrayal by Adam in Eden and subsequent vow of 
revenge is recast as a modern tale with present-day Lilith (Cherie Wallace) 
musing on a life that has included giving up a baby for adoption and work as a 
bar dancer. Interweaving mystical texts from Jewish folklore with interviews, 
music and poetry, Sachs reclaims this cabalistic parable to frame her own role 
as a mother. “The true story of this not so mythical, mythic first female. 
Sachs' film conveys the real experience -- bloody and poetic -- of Lilith alive 
and now in every woman. Bravo! A film felt, imagined, and informed by life.” - 
Barbara Black Koltuv, Ph. D. Clinical Psychologist, Jungian Analyst, and Author 
of The Book of Lilith "Sachs' art for fusing documentary and experimental 
narrative is unquestionably enormous. In this new film, her combination of an 
interview with a friend, the myth of Lilith and beauteous images of things like 
jelly fish (which float like iridescent breasts on screen) culminates in 
stunning cinema." Molly Hankwitz, Art Papers ***WITH*** Lizzie Olesker reading 
from INFINITE MINIATURE, a solo play about motherhood, memory, and stories held 
in everyday objects. Lizzie is a New York City playwright and a recent 
collaborator with Lynne Sachs on the hybrid film THE WASHING SOCIETY which will 
screen at the PFA 10/24 and Other Cinema 10/27. ***AND*** SCHMEERGUNTZ (Gunvor 
Nelson & Dorothy Wiley / 15 min. / B&W / sound / 1966) "SCHMEERGUNTZ is one 
long raucous belch in the face of the American Home. A society which hides its 
animal functions beneath a shiny public surface deserves to have such films as 
SCHMEERGUNTZ shown everywhere - in every PTA, every Rotary Club, every club in 
the land. For it is brash enough, brazen enough and funny enough to purge the 
soul of every harried American married woman." - Ernest Callenbach, Film 
Quarterly Blood Story (Greta Snider / 3 min. / 1990 / color / sound / 16mm) 
BLOOD STORY is a simultaneous progression of three divergent tales; a 
soundtrack of eavesdropped "girltalk," a subtitled story of a troublesome spot, 
and a series of images that fluidly peruse the two. The pictures articulate the 
space between one threatening, and one intimate, experience of the same 
symbolic matter. "... cuts below the surface of sexual relations." - Ann 
Powers, SF Weekly

creation, as sophisticated and demanding as any narrative film of the silent 
period, without obvious imitators. Although Richard Abel has astutely called 
attention to aspects the film shares with Abel Gance's LA ROUE (1923) and Leon 
Moussinac's LE BRASIER ARDENT (1923)…and with Jean Epstein's COEUR FIDELE

WOMEN'S WORK: SACHS/OLESKER'S "WASHING" + BARBARA HAMMER'S "DEREN" + 
We’re tickled pink to welcome back prodigal daughter Lynne Sachs, here with 
Lizzie Olesker to anchor a program on women’s labor, both manual and 
intellectual. Sachs unspools her Carolee, Barbara, and Gunvor, about the 
ongoing cinema legacies of Ms. Schneemann, Hammer, and Nelson. That inspiring 
opener in fact leads us directly into a half-hour piece by the prolific Hammer, 
who HERSELF has honored another woman cultural worker of an earlier generation 
in Maya Deren’s Sink. With a soundtrack from Meredith Monk, Barbara’s cine-poem 
re-captures Maya’s concepts of light, space, and time via projections on her 
original bathroom sink(!) and the walls of her LA and NY homes. Then, Lynne and 
Lizzie’s The Washing Society shifts the focus to the physical labor in the 
neighborhood laundromat, a site rife with the history of service, and of 
immigration, in a disappearing public space.

IN AND AROUND A HOUSE: FILMS BY UTE AURAND AND MARGARET TAIT, PART 2 
For this second screening, two longer works by Margaret Tait and Ute Aurand are 
paired. In their breadth and structure, these films give a sense of how these 
filmmakers cultivate a working practice that prizes the immediate details felt 
around them. These screenings include the work of Scottish film poet Margaret 
Tait (1918–1999), an influential filmmaker for Aurand. Together these works 
draw upon the wanderings of daily life and the search for fleeting moments of 
presence, dropping a myopic intensification of experience in favor of an 
exuberant engagement with the world. A Place of Work, by Margaret Tait (1976, 
16mm, color, sound, 30 min.) and Terzen, by Ute Aurand (1998, color, sound, 50 
min.) Tickets: $10 general; $6 for students/seniors; free for Filmforum 
members. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets at 
https://uteaurand2.bpt.me or at the door.

NOT SORRY #4: CONSUMER 
Our fourth and final installment in the series "Not Sorry: Feminist 
Experimental Film from the 1970s to Today." Critiquing popular culture by 
re-appropriating found footage source materials or by restaging stereotypes are 
common strategies in the experimental film genre. Since popular media has both 
constructed and echoed stereotypes of women, what better way to reclaim, talk 
back to, examine, and of course make fun of these manufactured and unrealistic 
identities? Exploring the general theme of consumerism (as consumers of media, 
ideas, and products) is another set of international filmmakers who engage 
directly with media or their false representations of women and their desires. 
Included is Gunvor Nelson’s "Take Off" (1972), that starts as a typical 
strip-tease film but with a surprise ending; Akosua Adoma Owusu’s "Intermittent 
Delight" (2007), which combines textiles and the Ghanaian men and women who 
make them with clips of 1960s Westinghouse commercials on the how-tos of 
refrigerator decoration; and work from two local filmmakers, Vanessa Renwick’s 
"Toxic Shock" (1983), which combines intimate taboos of needles, blood, and 
tampons, and Ariella Tai’s "She’s Not Gonna Get More Dead" (2018), that with 
its crunchy, juicy soundtrack and sourced images of black women vampires 
meditates on death, desire, and what makes someone more than dead. //// 
Filmmakers Ariella Tai, Vanessa Renwick, and Jennifer Chan will be in 
attendance for a post-screening discussion.
