People are still talking about last year's Hong-Kong-a-Thon and this year we've spent even more money, to bring even rarer movies, to blow your mind even harder! This 12-hour, six-film marathon showcases the movies that shot first, hit hardest, kicked highest, took the hardest falls, the biggest jumps, delivered the fastest punches, and left the audience with two smoking holes where their eyeballs used to be. We won't reveal the titles until they appear onscreen, but rest assured that these six 35mm prints are deep cuts that haven't played in New York City in at least 18 years. Out of print on DVD, or never available uncut and in their original language, these movies ask the big questions: what if Evel Knievel was a serial killer? How many floors can you drop a child and have them survive? Why does everybody die on Christmas? If you want answers, don't miss this marathon! All tickets: $30. Advance tickets are now available here: https://hongkongathon2.brownpapertickets.com/Ends when everybody is dead. 2/23 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=8eab6d6244&e=f36020cad0> 5:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue CINEMA QUEMA: PROGRAM 2 Raymundo Gleyzer & Jorge Prelorán IT HAPPENED IN HUALFIN / OCURRIDO EN HUALFIN (1965, 50 min, 16mm-to-digital) IT HAPPENED IN HUALFIN adopts a tripartite approach to diagnose the poverty suffered by the Figueroa family, cane-cutters and potters in Argentina's northwestern Catamarca province. The Figueroas describe harsh working conditions and express their hopes of breaking the poverty cycle, while their misery is testament to the contortion of big-government populism, embodied by a mechanical loom given to the family by Eva Perón during a publicity visit in the 1950s, then taken back after the Perons went into exile. Raymundo Gleyzer QUILINO (1966, 16 min, 16mm-to-digital) Gleyzer's first color film was his final collaboration with his old classmate Jorge Prelorán, who preferred a less polemical approach to documenting poverty. QUILINO details the Cordoba villagers' reliance on the railroad that brings them customers from the cities, and the looming likelihood that the route will be shut down. Raymundo Gleyzer OUR MALVINAS ISLANDS / NUESTRAS ISLAS MALVINAS (1966, 30 min, 16mm-to-digital) Working on assignment for the news program "Telenoche," with permission from the Queen of England, Gleyzer was the first Argentinean to shoot in the Islas Malvinas (known to their English occupiers as the Falklands, later cause for the 1982 conflict that expedited the end of the military dictatorship). Skirting the boundary between wry travelogue and econo-graphic survey, this is perhaps the least polemical of his films - but like the earlier shorts, it makes obvious Gleyzer's empathy for his collaborators on the other side of the camera. Total running time: ca. 100 min. 2/23 San Francisco, California: Exploratorium https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar/saturday-cinema-punto-y-raya-2019 <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=3d0bac9f6e&e=f36020cad0> 3:00 p.m., Pier 15 BEST OF PUNTO Y RAYA 2018 The eminent minimalist animation festival, Punto y Raya (Dot and Line) has been dubbed “the most abstract festival in the world.” The biennial festival fosters experimentation in visual arts through the use of pure form, color, motion, and sound, with no direct representation. Crossing traditions of dancing images, abstract art, and minimalism, the Punto y Raya festival highlights eye-catching animations from around the world. The program comprises the 18 finalist and award-winning films shown in 2018 at CeTA (Audiovisual Technology Center) in Wroclaw, Poland. 2/23 San Francisco: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=59aa39a7ba&e=f36020cad0> 8pm, 992 Valencia Street JOHN LAW'S CACOPHONY + BURNING MAN + BLF An opportunity to honor and give a hand to THEE man who’s been the beating heart of the radical prank community in SF for over 4 decades! Mr. Law gets his due recognition in the Fine Art world with a major show planned for Pro Arts Gallery in June. But prep for that expansive exhibition will require a whole lotta money and time, so that John can collect his materials and ready them for the walls and screens--tho of course he’s not able to work his neon-signman jobs for next 4 months. So, come on, we’re calling in all his friends and fans to step up and get his career-retro into forward-gear. John himself opens the party with a visual review of his major activities: Suicide Club, Cacophony Society, Burning Man, Survival Research Labs, Head Trip, Urban Exploration, not to mention his neon installations for the Ferry Bldg., Hills Brothers Coffee, and Tribune Tower. After intermission, OC itself steps forward with the best of its rich documentation of local and national culture-jamming and intervention art.*$9-20 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2019 2/24 Kansas City, Missouri: Stray Cat Film Center http://straycatfilmcenter.com <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=61d418f7ae&e=f36020cad0> 7:00pm, 1662 Broadway KELLY GALLAGHER - RESISTANCE MADE VISIBLE. Join Stray Cat Film Center in welcoming radical animator Kelly Gallagher to Kansas City for a one-night-only screening. Her beautiful animated short films and videos address topics ranging from radical feminism, labor history, friendship, sexuality and police brutality with a vibrant hand-made aesthetic and an exciting use of sound and music. “[Her] bold and colorful montage aesthetic incorporates paper cut-out collages from magazines or thrift store bookshop finds, 16mm found or confiscated footage, oil painting animation and hand-drawn rotoscoping. Images explode onto the screen in a carnival of color and iridescence: glitter, thick and sumptuous paint, or purple-tinted translucent oil on clear 16mm leader draw attention to the tactility of the hand-made process involved.” -Sophia Satchell-Baeza for La Furia Umana, International Journal of History and Theory of Cinema 2/24 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=d77c628755&e=f36020cad0> 4:45 PM, 32 Second Avenue CITY SYMPHONIES: SUITE HABANA by Fernando Pérez. A poetic homage to the city of Havana, this breathtaking film is a lovely and melancholic portrait of Cuba's capital. Following in the tradition of the city symphony by adopting a "day-in-the-life-of" structure, it follows ten ordinary Habaneros as they go about their daily routine. There is no dialogue and no need for it either; music and natural sound accompany the multiplicity of images that weave a unique and intimate picture of a city full of contradictions and contrasts, a city of accomplished and frustrated dreams. Edited like a musical composition, SUITE HABANA oscillates between documentary and fiction. The ten characters range in age from 10 to 97, and represent the diversity of groups that form the city's social fabric. Each of them follows a narrative, and we follow their transformations as the workday ends and they prepare themselves to welcome the night. 2/24 San Francisco, California: Exploratorium https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar/cinema-arts-punto-y-raya-2019 <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=2a7ec3e879&e=f36020cad0> 3:00 p.m., Pier 15 BEST OF PUNTO Y RAYA 2018 The eminent minimalist animation festival, Punto y Raya (Dot and Line) has been dubbed “the most abstract festival in the world.” The biennial festival fosters experimentation in visual arts through the use of pure form, color, motion, and sound, with no direct representation.

We swat them away, catch them in jars, spray them with poison, farm them for their byproducts and nutritional properties, and transport them across the country for agricultural production. Some insects provoke fear or disgust, while others elicit adoration and wonder, most, however, go unnoticed. This program focuses on the insect body as interpreted by artists, as well as the personal and cultural values projected onto insects (and then projected onto the screen). Canyon filmmakers include Charlotte Pryce, Takahiko Iimura, Robert Todd, Julie Murray, Anna Geyer, and Stan Brakage. Bay Area film and video maker, Malic Amalya, will screen his 35mm slide collage FlyHole (2017), about a fly who transitions into a man to cruise gay bars, and four video essays from his series, Detours & Fences (2012-2015). Flies, gnats, moths, caterpillars, ladybugs, cicadas, ants, and bees all make appearances. Malic Amalya is a queercore artist working across celluloid, video, and 35mm slides. His films have screened and exhibited across the world, including in MIX Copenhagen, the Collectif Jeune Cinema in Paris, EXiS Festival in South Korea, Altes Finanzamt in Berlin, the San Francisco Cinematheque's Perpetual Motion series, and the Portland Art Museum in Oregon. Malic holds an MFA in Moving Image from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MA in History and Theory of Contemporary Art from the San Francisco Art Institute. He teaches time-based art at the California College of the Arts and the City College of San Francisco. Originally from Vermont, Malic lives with his boyfriend and artistic collaborator, Nathan Hill, in Oakland.

Two major works from the early 1980s, THE MAN WHO COULD NOT SEE FAR ENOUGH and THE PRESSURES OF THE TEXT, frame these ideas with Rose's signature combination of intellectual rigor, technical facility, and sense of play. Representing Rose's work with computers in the 1990s, his short video GENESIS highlights the contradictory and simultaneous experiences of distance and intimacy afforded by technology. A Guggenheim and NEA Fellow, Rose has exhibited his work at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial, the Centre Pompidou, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and Anthology Film Archives. Peter Rose GENESIS (1991, 4 min, digital) Peter Rose THE PRESSURES OF THE TEXT (1982, 17 min, video) Peter Rose THE MAN WHO COULD NOT SEE FAR ENOUGH (1981, 33 min, 16mm) Total running time: ca. 60 min.

For several years, he has investigated the image’s depth by the use of stereo 3D. -°*°- Lately, 3D cinema has become a new hype in the mainstream. The new trend is related to reaching for a more immersive cinema, competing with computer games. Björn Speidel takes a different stance by considering stereoscopic pictures as a tableau with depth. This opens a different approach to the concept of three-dimensional images. Instead of just representing an image of the world, a single picture may unfold a whole world of its own. Within only few image “incidents” virtual sensations start to occur that could not exists outside the image - a fragile utopia. -°*°- The films of Björn Speidel often combine several stereo 3D technologies. The topic of woods, of trees reappear in his films as a metaphor as well as a structure of repetition and noise. The German saying of not seeing the woods because of all the trees may describe the repetitive background noise created by his individual works. These motives (re)appear as a combination of chance and structural montage. -°*°- Finally, (experimental) filmmaking is always related to the used apparatus.Thus Björn Speidel is exploring a diversity means of analogue film, analogue video and digital media. The screening will include the first presentation of the „Video-Harp“ as a world premiere. -°*°- Playlist: 1)- InHeim, HD stereo3D, colour/anaglyphic, sound, 15min, 2008 -°*°- 2)- DEAD END, rewind reversal, 4k stereo3D, colour/anaglyphic, sound, 11 min, 2016 -°*°- 3)- ROTARIO, 2k stereo3D, colour/anaglyphic, sound, 9min, 2016 -°*°- 4)- WANDERLUST #1, 2k stereo3D, bw/anaglyphic, sound, 9min, 2018 -°*°- 5)- ZWIELICHT, 16mm double projection, stereo3D, bw/anaglyphic, silent, 5min, 2017 -°*°- 6)- TREE AGAIN (Wanderlust #2), 16mm projecting-performance, Chroma Depth, live-sound, ca. 8Min, 2018 -°*°- 7)- VIDEO-SCOPE (playing the Video-Harp), analog-video projecting-performance, Chroma Depth, live-sound, 2019 -°*°- -°*°- Artist Link: https://www.bjoernspeidel.de/ -°*°- -°*°- Links: Directors Lounge http://www.directorslounge.net -°*°- Richfilm http://www.richfilm.de/currentUpload/ -°*°- Z-Bar http://www.z-bar.de 2/28 Chapel Hill: Cosmic Rays Film Festival 6pm, Morehead Planetarium, 250 EAST FRANKLIN ST. THE OPTICS OF SPACE The Optics of Space Curated by AILY NASH Co-sponsored by the Hanes Visiting Artist Lecture Series and Cosmic Rays ABOUT THE ARTISTS James N. Kienitz Wilkins is a filmmaker and artist based in Brooklyn. His work has been selected for international film festivals and venues including the New York Film Festival, CPH:DOX, MoMA PS1, TIFF, Locarno IFF, IFFR, Migrating Forms, the Whitney Biennial, and beyond. Lucy Raven is an artist living and working in New York. Recent solo exhibitions and presentations of her work include the Serpentine Galleries, London, the Columbus Museum of Art, Portikus, Frankfurt, the Park Avenue Armory, and the Guggenheim Museum, New York. She is a founding member of 13BC, a film production collective with Vic Brooks and Evan Calder Williams, and teaches at the Cooper Union School of Art. ABOUT THE CURATOR Aily Nash is a curator based in New York. She is co-curator of Projections, the New York Film Festival’s artists' film and video section, and program advisor to the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s Short Film section. She recently served as a Biennial advisor and co-curator of the film program for the 2017 Whitney Biennial, and was Head of Programming for the 2018 edition of the Images Festival in Toronto. THE OPTICS OF SPACE LUCY RAVEN, JAMES N. KIENITZ WILKINS The Optics of Space presents newly commissioned moving image works by Lucy Raven and James N. Kienitz Wilkins produced for the planetarium format. The planetarium context presents highly specific viewing conditions that distinguish it from other cinematic experiences and from exhibitions in science museums. In a sense, it is a permanent installation custom built for the dome projection of an audio-visual spectacle dedicated to imaging space. Exploring the intervention that artworks can make into preexisting systems of meaning, this project asks how the spectatorial position of the viewer might be altered if the works presented in the planetarium are authored by practitioners invested in questions surrounding image production. Can the visual and narrative conventions of this context be opened up? Raven and Kienitz Wilkins engage a discourse around the spectatorial conditions of the planetarium context. As many of their projects have operated, the two newly commissioned works make present the optical apparatus and bring the spectator into the technological mechanisms that produce a particular way of seeing, proposing alternative approaches to vision. AO 00:07:30 Lucy Raven New York-based artist Lucy Raven’s multidisciplinary works include moving image installations, performative lectures, photography and animation. Raven’s AO takes a microscopic look into the adaptive optics system being developed at the University of Arizona’s Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab for the Giant Magellan Telescope. The work focuses on the resolution testing of precision silicon sensors produced at a custom lab onsite. These highly sensitive CCDs will be able to capture light reflected from the telescope’s massive mirror, and when combined with adaptive optics, present the promise to see far enough back in space and time to view the very origins of the universe. The Dynamic Range 00:18:00 James N. Kienitz Wilkins James N. Kienitz Wilkins is a Brooklyn-based artist and filmmaker whose moving image works concern formal experimentation with image format and language, often reflecting on questions of access, production and technology. The Dynamic Range is a speculative essay film exploring the limits of perception through advances in camera technology, and the accompanying human presumptions which fuel such advancements. 2/28 Chapel Hill: Cosmic Rays Film Festival http://www.cosmicraysfilmfest.com <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=9329935523&e=f36020cad0> 10PM, NIGHTLIGHT BAR & CLUB 4051/2 WEST ROSEMARY ST CHAPEL HILL NC 27516 LIVE CINEMA PROGRAM WITH ZEPHYR Lovemoon Battlefield Alex Cunningham RT: 15:00 CWR2 Tom Whiteside [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> RT: 10:00 The Sick Sense Brent Coughenour [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> RT: 20:00 ZEPHYR RT:50:00 Since coming on the scene in 2013, the collaborative project between filmmaker Sylvain Chaussée and composer Adrian Gordon Cook, otherwise known as Zephyr, has been mesmerizing audiences across Toronto, New York, and Montreal with immersive audiovisual performances. The project is centralized around the use of 16mm film loops and sequential musical patterns in an attempt to expand cinema's potential to influence audience expectations. Drawing upon the historical connection between image and sound, Zephyr reflects on the emotionally charged relationships created when both mediums are combined. In the live performance, a dialogue exists between projectionist and musician, allowing them to progress in synchrony, mirroring each other through the building and deconstructing of the cinematic experience. Sylvain Chaussée is a filmmaker and photographer born in France and based in Toronto. He studied film at Concordia University with experimental filmmakers Richard Kerr and Francois Miron. Chaussée's work focuses on the materiality of his medium, which is realized through extensive processing and printing techniques. As a film technician at Niagara Custom Lab he strives for an alternative approach towards filmmaking. In performance, loops provide the basis for his imagery, through which the repetition of movement, colour, and texture are integral to the experience of the work. Chaussée is inspired by the physical nature of film, which permits limitless opportunities for manipulation and transformation. Adrian Gordon Cook is a composer, performer and multi-instrumentalist based in Toronto. He studied music at York University, where he focused on composition, electronic media and music history. Largely inspired by the early minimalist composers of the 1960's, Cook's work takes shape within large temporal boundaries, utilizing drones, repetition, prolonged chordal movements and static harmony. Often contemplative and understated, his music shifts subtly between sonic texture and colours. He has a keen interest in multi-disciplinary work, influenced by the new relationships formed when sound is not the sole aspect of a piece. 2/28 Chapel Hill: Cosmic Rays Film Festival http://www.cosmicraysfilmfest.com <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=767ab40ea9&e=f36020cad0> 8PM, Varsity Theater, 123 E Franklin St Chapel Hill, NC 27514 COSMIC RAYS FILM FESTIVAL Jeny303 00:06:00 Laura Huertas Milan Spikes Protocol 00:09:37 Pedro Tavares Monolithography 00:02:50 Laurids Andersen Sonne Driving Dinosaurs 00:09:00 Emma Piper-Burket Mahogany Too 00:03:33 Akosua Adoma Owusu Notes on Seeing Double 00:11:10 Sanaz Sohrabi Astrology 00:03:00 Brittany Gravely Life After Love 00:08:25 Zachary Epcar Sky Room 00:05:55 Marianna Milhorat Continents Quiver as Memories Erupt Into Earthflames 00:14:00 Georg Koszulinski La Mesa 00:09:45 Adrian Garcia Gomez 2/28 Madrid: Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia https://www.museoreinasofia.es/actividades/ismo-ismo-ismo <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=b42fcf2740&e=f36020cad0> 7:00 P.M., Calle de Santa Isabel, 52, 28012 Madrid, Spain ISMO ISMO ISMO Programa 9 Diálogos con el Che: apropiaciones de una imagen revolucionaria Duración: 96 min Pedro Chaskel.

El día que me quieras 1997, 30 min, sonido, color, 16mm transferido a digital, Argentina Cincuenta años después del asesinato de Ernesto Che Guevara en Bolivia, este programa explora una de las imágenes más polémicas y reapropiadas en la historia de América Latina: la imagen del Che, muerto o vivo. El filme de Pedro Chaskel, Una foto recorre el mundo, reconstruye el instante en que el fotógrafo Alberto Korda inmortaliza la mirada perdida en el horizonte del revolucionario. Esta imagen después sería parte de la iconografía de la resistencia: reproducida para protestas políticas, en grafitis, murales, portadas de libros y hasta en zapatillas y botellas de vodka. En El día que me quieras, el cineasta Leandro Katz sigue los pasos de Freddy Alborta, el fotógrafo boliviano que tomó las últimas fotografías del cuerpo del Che Guevara, las mismas que fueron comparadas por John Berger con la Lamentación sobre Cristo muerto de Mantegna y La lección de anatomía del doctor Nicolaes Tulp de Rembrandt. 2/28 San Francisco, CA United States: San Francisco Cinematheque http://www.sfcinematheque.org <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=e7cc389914&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, 701 Mission St FILMWERKPLAATS COLLECTIVE: HOMETOWN Based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Filmwerkplaats is an artist-run collective and photochemical film lab dedicated to DIY analogue practice and to filmmaking which embraces the haptic and tactile expressivity to be found in celluloid film’s “stubborn physicality.” Representing Filmwerkplaats, filmed entirely in Rotterdam, the haunting, collectively authored HOMETOWN (2015) interweaves sonic and imagistic contributions from collective members Nick Aberson, Lichun Tseng, Esther Urlus and Nan Wang to form a drifting, subtly surrealistic song of life and landscape—”a search for traces of heroism”—in contemporary Rotterdam.

We’re delighted to have him here in town for a week of celebration including two nights (don’t miss FRISCO GRIT: BALDWIN SELECTS OTHER CINEMA) at UnionDocs and a run of his feature-length and short work over at Metrograph on March 3 and 4. If you aren’t familiar with the legendary status of Other Cinema, Jim Knipfel in The Believer said, “One way to think about San Francisco-based filmmaker, archivist, and artist Craig Baldwin is as the dialectical result of a collision between the Dadaists, the Situationists, the Beats, and the punks. He exists today as a kind of figurehead, a holdover anarchist beatnik from the Bay Area’s pre-tech boom days.” Other Cinema is a long-standing bastion of experimental film, video, and performance where artists are inspired and sustained by the ongoing practice of fine-art filmmaking, as well as engaged essay and documentary forms. Not only sticking to these more lauded practices, Other Cinema also embraces marginalized genres as media-archeological core-samples, and blows against consensus reality and the sterility of museum culture. SF Cinematheque curator Steve Polta, who will be co-publishing with Incite: Journal For Experimental Media a historical compendium of Baldwin and Other Cinema, describes the last twenty years of programming: It’s an “insane amalgam of underground cinema, genre film, media and community activism, performance and sound art, and unique and astounding lost-and-found orphan works from Baldwin’s infamous film/video archive as well as hosting a dizzying array of artists, curators, community activists, conspiracy freaks, and other indescribable and wonderful wackos.” Join filmmakers Bill Morrison, Soda_Jerk, Sam Green, Katherin McInnis, Jennifer Reeves, Adam Khalil, Lynne Sachs, and Ben Folstein to honor the legacy and impact of Baldwin’s work and ethos. This evening will be a dizzying and dazzling extravaganza with a program that features classic OC Live A/V, short films, excerpts, tributes and video selections from Bill Morrison, Soda_Jerk, Katherin McInnis, Jennifer Reeves, Adam Khalil, and Lynne Sachs, alongside 3D, and dual 16mm projection from Craig himself, live performance from Sam Green, “When Craig Baldwin Asks You to Do Something, You Do It!”, of course celebratory hanging to welcome Craig to town. Plus short Zog, from Ben Folstein who will be providing ambient light and sound for the whole event with Tony Delorenzo! 3/2 San Francisco: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=eaaa170d4f&e=f36020cad0> 8pm, 992 Valencia Street UNICORN RIOT'S "BLACK SNAKE KILLAZ" The first of three programs in our Tribes Indigenous series, here’s the NorCal debut of a feature doc about resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline. From a young, brave collective of engaged electronic journalists, this exhaustive account explores actions taken by water protectors to stop the construction of the oil pipeline, and highlights actions taken by law enforcement, military, and corporate mercenaries to quell the months-long protest. BSK timelines the events that unfolded in Standing Rock throughout 2016, delivering the raw experience from many frontline actions to protect the water. Although the DAPL is completed, the impact of the movement will be long-lasting. As fossil-fuel extraction projects continue to impact some of the most vulnerable communities throughout the US, the importance of the water protectors story grows.

In response, we’ve decided to screen all three of Owens’s films currently in distribution! We’re not the only ones; on January 21, MoMA ran a similar show, and Light Industry in New York has also done one, along with one in Chicago. But that might well be it, and this show might be the Los Angeles premiere of two of his films, both little known works from the mid-1960s. But who was Edward Owens? A queer black artist, working first in 8mm, discovered by Gregory Markopoulos at the Art Institute of Chicago. Encouraged by Markopoulos to go to New York, Owens did, and became part of the scene, and made three marvelous films, largely portraits, with references to Markopoulos’s Twice a Man as well. But in 1971, he gave up filmmaking, returned to Chicago, and lived a different life. Ed Halter found the titles in the Filmmakers Coop collection, interviewed him in 2009 shortly before his death, and started the rediscovery of Edward Owens. We hope you’ll join us as we spread the word about these beautiful films, all made before Owens was 21 years old. _____ Let us know about your alternative film/video event!
