JOSé VAL DEL OMAR PROGRAM 3
March 18: Presented by Mónica Savirón WATER-MIRROR OF GRANADA and FIRE IN
CASTILLE feature a characteristic end title that illustrates Val del Omar’s
continuous research and inexhaustible creativity: instead of “The End,” we read
“Never Ending.” Indeed, he never stopped creating. In the late 1970s he set up
a laboratory named PLAT (Picto – Luminic – Audio – Tactile) in Madrid, and
continued experimenting with video and multimedia equipment. VARIATIONS ON A
POMEGRANATE is the only preserved piece from this period. Val del Omar’s “Never
Ending” film philosophy found a relevant continuity in the many contemporary
artists, musicians, and filmmakers who produced works under his creative
influence. For example Eugeni Bonet, an important visual artist, theorist, and
curator, met Val del Omar in 1980 and years later made the film THROW YOUR
WATCH TO THE WATER (2004), a creative reinterpretation of Val del Omar’s filmic
materials. He would also organize the first retrospective of his
work at the Pompidou Museum (Paris) in 1982, as well as the first exhibition
entirely devoted to his trajectory in the Reina Sofia Museum (Madrid) in 2010.

re-animate a 35mm filmstrip of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, with
text-to-vox FX and ChromaDepth stereoscopy. Baldwin doubles back to
double-project his Crazed Crystals over Cyrus Tabar’s cracked~abstrakt track.

Haack oscillating Mr. Rogers, and Vicki (PLU) Bennett’s Citation City. PLUS DJ

n.a., ACUD MACHT NEU, Veteranenstraße 21 10119 Berlin Mitte U8 Rosenthaler Platz
FRACTO
Fracto is a 2 day encounter inviting filmmakers to present their work and
discuss contemporary means of audiovisual experimentation, on May 20th/21st at
ACUD macht neu, Berlin. In times of ever-present cameras and a constant stream
of seemingly self-propagating moving images we have become accustomed to a
mediatized experience of reality, where time and space lose their coordinates.
Exceeding an entirely negative conception of today’s perceptual landscape, how
can the reconfiguration of audiovisual media and technologies therein be a
productive foundation for new means of ever-changing and heterogeneous
narratives? How can this landscape be reflected, dissolved or disrupted in film
itself? What are the appropriate means of sorting and resetting these
influences, and what – if any – other modes of representation emerge between
mere categories of newness and obsolescence, documentary, fictional, poetic,
latent or evident imagery?

IRIS FILM COLLECTIVE RESPONDS TO THE IMAGE BEFORE US
This program of work by Iris Film Collective includes sixteen short films
screening in a number of formats, including super 8 and dual-channel 16mm. Made
in and around B.C., this collection constitutes a multiform experience of
place: recreational life in Opening Day; an alternate tour of abandoned
monuments and plazas that Expo left behind in Legacies; a fence impenetrable
but revealing in 86 SE Marine Drive. Colin Browne’s 1986 essay film The Image
Before Us, which inspired The Cinematheque’s “Image Before Us” series, asks
what aren’t we seeing in the movies about Vancouver. This program also hints at
something beyond the frame that cannot be filmed or heard, something
inexpressible in words, images, or sounds alone.

TRANSPARENT THINGS, LANDSCAPE DISSOLVES: SCREENING AND TALK WITH FILMMAKER PAUL
CLIPSON
Paul Clipson is a San Francisco-based filmmaker who often collaborates with
sound artists and musicians on films, live performances, and installations. His
Super 8 and 16mm films aim to bring to light visual preoccupations that reveal
themselves while working in a stream of consciousness manner, combining densely
layered, in-camera edited studies of figurative and abstract environments, in a
process that encourages unplanned-for results, responding to and conversing
with the temporal qualities of musical composition and live performance. His
work has screened around the world in festivals and at sound and film events
such as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, The New York Film Festival,
and the Cinémathèque Française.

7:30 pm, 32 2nd Ave.
ESSENTIAL CINEMA: JOHN AND IVY & SALVADOR DALI
JOHN AND IVY (1965, 33 min, 16mm, b&w) “One of Warhol’s early experiments in
sound filmmaking, JOHN AND IVY is a one-reel ‘documentary’ film showing Ivy
Nicolson, John Palmer, and their children at home during a major snowstorm in
January 1965. The film is shot with a stationary camera which points through a
doorway into their squalid tenement kitchen. The stars wander around the
kitchen, talking, cooking, and occasionally embracing while a live radio plays
both classical and rock music; the sound quality is very poor.” –Callie Angell
& SALVADOR DALI (1966, 22 min, 16mm, b&w, silent) “A silent ‘EPI Background’
reel, intended for projection behind the Velvet Underground during performances
of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable. SALVADOR DALI contains original SCREEN
TESTS of the mustachioed Dali, followed by Nico, Sterling Morrison, and Lou
Reed. The film ends with two WHIP DANCE rolls, in which Gerard Malanga and Mary
Woronov perform their S&M dance routine from the EPI for
Warhol’s camera.” –Callie Angell

Morgan) can murder men by smothering them with her enormous breasts. This
trashy 70s sexploitation film, directed by the legendary Doris Wishman, is a
feminist cult classic. Enjoy Wishman’s bizarre experimental cinematography,
far-out plot twists and wild 1970’s camp! With special opening performance by
local queer trans* lesbian woman of color stripperformance artist Rambo Reza!

PAUL CLIPSON WITH SHINYA SUGIMOTO & JEREMY YOUNG: TOTAL FICTION
Taking its name from Shinya Sugimoto & Jeremy Young's forthcoming LP featuring
cellist Julia Kent, Total Fiction is live score performance to a 16mm film
projection by Paul Clipson. Like all of Clipson's film collage works, this will
be frenetic, it will span movements both in stark black and white and bright
analog color, and the score will be disbursed in a series of chapters.
Improvisation, for Sugimoto and Young, is like fiction, and they will work to
bring out auditory characters, narratives, themes and transitional arcs from
the celluloid, while at times challenging the pictures to provide new meaning
in new sonic contexts from space to space. Shinya Sugimoto performs on piano
and Max MSP triggered processing, while Young will be utilizing his analog
electronics such as reel-to-reel tape loops, oscillators, AM radio and contact
mic'd objects and surfaces to build textural and tonal colour palettes
throughout the evening.

WHEN I STOP LOOKING:
SHORT FILMS AND SMALL PRINTS BY TODD EDWARD HERMAN
Todd Edward Herman's haunting imagery suggests mysteriously entwined
narratives, drawing no clear lines between fiction and fact. Herman utilizes
photography, videography and painting as departure points for thirty
exquisitely printed limited edition prints. Dealing with themes of the body and
transience, representational taboos, spectatorship and complicity, his work
looks to a rare beauty, making no claims to journalistic inquiry. Among the
selected films screening at Seidel City will be Herman's award winning short
film Cabinet, a visceral and poetic documentary on death, mourning and life
beginning anew. Also screening will be Herman's When I Stop Looking, a film
that looks beyond the imprint of appearances, invoking the intensely private
worlds of those portrayed, each of whom lives with significant facial and
cranial conditions; a vivid affirmation of existence comes forward, before
anything else. Todd Edward Herman has been the recipient of many awards for
his work
including the San Francisco International Film Festival's New Vision Award, the
Art Council of Northern Ireland's Artist in Residence Award, Grants from the
San Francisco Film Arts Foundation, a Western States Regional Media Arts
Fellowship, Taipei Artist Village Residency, and the San Francisco Art
Commission's Emerging Curator Award. He has presented his work at such venues
as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, San Francisco International Film
Festival, Southbank Centre, Anthology Film Archives, San Francisco
Cinematheque, and Pacific Film Archives.

JEM COHEN: WORLD WITHOUT END (NO REPORTED INCIDENTS)
Quite close to London, but for many, a million miles away, Southend-on-Sea is a
town along the Thames estuary. World Without End (No Reported Incidents), the
new documentary from Jem Cohen, is a portrait of this place–everyday streets,
everyday birds, unflagging tides, mud, and sky. But it is also about humanity
and history, about prize-winning Indian curries, an encyclopedic universe of
hats, and a nearly lost world of proto-punk music. ARTIST IN ATTENDANCE.

NEW WORKS SALON XXXVIII
The New Works Salons series is a casual forum for the presentation and
discussion of new works in film, video, sound, and performance, with local and
visiting artists often in-person to introduce their work. This program will
include works by Christina Battle, Gelare Koshkgozaran, Azadeh Navai, Julie
Sadowski, Penelope Uribe-Abee, and Walter Vargas. Christina Battle’s Notes to
Self is an ongoing series of videos documenting a simple, repetitive act as a
way to mimic our fleeting engagement with social media status updates.
Fragments of text, in the form of notes to myself, are set on fire with varying
degrees of success. Unlike social media updates, the fate of these updates are
controlled and finite, existing only for a few seconds before being completely
destroyed. The notes, which range from humourous reminders and revelations to
recollections about larger societal events, are simple in both form and
execution, allowing for a critical and considered viewing response.
Gelare Khoshgozaran will show her work An Analog Poem for Super 8 and voice,
which was commissioned by Echo Park Film Center. Azadeh Navai will show her
16mm film Remembering the Pentagons, a slow, rhythmic, and contemplative
journey into her earliest childhood memories. With an old 16mm Bolex and a
hand-made pinhole camera, Navai returns to Tehran and Esfahan, Iran, where the
perceptions and recollections of places, emotions, and scents serve as vehicles
through which she exposes a deeply personal landscape. She asks — what is the
texture of memory? In what ways does time — the light, wind, and air of history
— wear upon the monuments and the images of the past? Born in Tehran during the
Iran-Iraq war, Navai seeks to access a time of personal turmoil both for her
family and for her birth country in this poetic capturing of place, history and
memory. Penelope Uribe-Abee will show her new work Practice: a video, video
sketch, and/or exercise mainly crafted out of personal
heartbreak and coping. This video was made as an effort to make more personal,
insular work while still preserving the idea of emotional accessibility in an
audience. This is one part in a series of depicted analogies that explore how
basic actions and gestures like playing the drums can serve as representations
for actions with larger emotional implications: like falling in love. Walter
Vargas will show Kru steez all no , a Super 8 double projection with
coordinated memes high on the current meme economy @ time of showing #bulb
#democracy #doesitreallywork #inheat. Julie Sadowski is a Polish-American
artist living in Los Angeles. She is simultaneously excited and severely
overwhelmed with the excess of images in the world, including those she created
herself. She attempts to create order out of the chaos of the visible world by
employing her own subjective systems of logic.

FLICKER AND WOW 1
One of two programs of recent avant-garde short films curated for Big Ears.
Empyrean by Kalpana Subramanian (6:20, Digital) An abstract, meditative piece,
Empyrean was “filmed” at the altar of celluloid cinema. Using a mobile phone
camera, Subramanian intercepted mediated light from the projector during
screenings of various 16mm prints of films by Stan Brakhage (1933-2003). The
film is part of her larger, art-based research project, Light Mediated: Eyes on
Brakhage, which explores the poetics of the moving image. Them Apples by Adam
R. Levine (2:40, 16mm) Using the parallel temporal forms of the three-minute
pop song and the 16mm camera roll, Them Apples runs The Beatles’ “Back In The
U.S.S.R.” through iTunes Visualizer to create an optical sound experiment in
which synaesthesia and pop cultural memory are turned back on themselves. 1_
_ _ _1 by Karissa Hahn (3:00, Digital) One roll of super 8. A ‘collaboration’
or rather, a collusion of sorts. As for my volition . . . I
fall, you falter. Thinking about “A Young Girl Defending Herself against Eros”
by William Adolphe Bouguereau, 1880. Thinking about . . . suspense/tension,
taking us down with me. Deux Champs (Two Fields) by Kevin Obsatz (7:50,
Digital) In 1953, a young photographer named Victor Obsatz created a
double-exposed portrait of Marcel Duchamp by mistake. 55 years later that photo
appeared in the pages of Smithsonian Magazine and was featured at a Duchamp
retrospective. Deux Champs (Two Fields) is a hand-processed reflection on the
distant memory of that day and everything that has happened since. As Without
So Within by Manuela De Laborde (24:20, 16mm) De Laborde has usefully described
the making of As Without So Within as “returning to Montessori.” Built from
closeup images of handmade “props” (her preferred term), the film reveals,
reworks, and illuminates several fundamental components of experimental
filmmaking: abstraction, sculpture, and the material of celluloid itself.
Koropokkuru by Akiko Maruyama and Philippe Roy (4:10, Digital) A moving
portrayal of an ineffable force that can be humanlike or embody itself within
displayed objects. Inspired by concepts from the Koropokkuru folktale within
Japanese Ainu culture, as well as The Invisible Man.

MEREDITH MONK: BOOK OF DAYS
A rare 35mm public screening of Meredith Monk's 1989 feature film BOOK OF DAYS.
“Meredith Monk has been an anomaly for much of her 27-year career as a composer
and choreographer, creating dances that were operas, operas that were dances
and mythic theater pieces that were operas and dances. To complicate matters,
Ms. Monk is also a filmmaker. In Book of Days, she has created a film that is
essentially a moving picture." -- Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

JEM COHEN: LOST BOOK FOUND
The result of over five years of Super-8 and 16mm filming on New York City
streets, Lost Book Found melds documentary and narrative into a complex
meditation on city life. The piece revolves around a mysterious notebook filled
with obsessive listings of places, objects, and incidents. These listings serve
as the key to a hidden city: a city of unconsidered geographies and layered
artifacts—the relics of low-level capitalism and the debris of countless
forgotten narratives.

FLICKER & WOW 2
The second of two programs of recent avant-garde short films curated for Big
Ears. Parallel Inquiries by Christina C Nguyen (9:25, 16mm) sound from image /
image from color // inquiries into the analog film system Nova Remnants by
Stefan Grabowski (10:30, Digital) A nova remnant consists of matter left behind
by a cataclysmic nuclear explosion, causing the intense and sudden brightening
of a star. Due to the relatively short time-span over which they occur, nova
remnants generally no longer exist by the time their light reaches us on Earth.
Ghost Comb. by Ryland Walker Knight (7:15, Digital) A meditation on life as
text, and how we may outlive our finite selves in the realm of the imaginary.
Spotlight on a Brick Wall by Alee Peoples and Mike Stoltz (8:00, 16mm) A
performance film that navigates expectations of both the audience and the
makers. A series of false starts. Dub treatment on the laugh track. Little
Orphant Annie by Bill Morrison (7:00, Digital) Little Orphant Annie
is a re-edit of a silent film of the same title from 1918, directed by Colin
Campbell. Two reels from an original nitrate print were scanned and re-edited
to make the new film, which follows the structure of the poem written by James
Whitcomb Riley in 1885. Riley is heard reciting his poem in a recording made in
1912. The poem is also heard read by Kelli Shay Hix in 2016, who additionally
wrote and performs the song, “The Swimmer.” One Roll in the Blackness by Chris
Kennedy (3:10, 16mm) Keiji Haino, live in Toronto, June 22, 2011. A single roll
of film, shot one frame at a time. Special thanks to Keiji Haino and Adam Rosen.
