A percentage of monies from the door and bar (so drink up!) goes towards Kal’s daunting moving/storage expenses. Screening are a daring duo of his robot docs amongst a life-raft of science-fantasy reels, to kick off a Trash Film thread that runs through this season’s schedule (also on Optron2 and Archive1). Peppering the party is the climax of the classic kaiju Gamera the Invincible, the last scene from Colossus:The Forbin Project, pick hits from Journey to the 7th Planet (double-projected), Earth vs. Flying Saucers, The Great Martian War, and of course Unarius’ lesson on The Extraterrestrials. ALSO Jon Reiss’ Bitter Message (an SRL machine battle) Allison De Fern’s Fembot in Red, Peter Lichter’s George’s Poem, and David King’s (in person) Every Red Death. Come early for Russ Forster on the theremin, Wilhelm Reich’s Cloud-Buster, the anomalous Number Stations, and sci-fi highballs! TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2018 10/2 Austin, TX United States: Experimental Response Cinema http://ercatx.org <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=eb7a454041&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, 2213 E Cesar Chavez St UNTITLED: SANDRA GIBSON + LUIS RECODER Experimental Response Cinema welcomes Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder for an in-person screening of Untitled, in conjunction with their installation as part of the AIR conference at the University of Texas School of Architecture. Untitled: 16mm film transferred to digital video, sound by Olivia Block, 42 minutes, SOS Editions, 2008. The black-and-white film Untitled is a poetic and conceptual exploration of the medium of film and its technical screening conditions. The central actors are the light and the various shades of darkness it produces. As in many of their film performances and installations, the New York artist duo Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder take the apparatus of the projector as a point of departure to release the medium itself: By liberating the film projection of the baggage of narrative content, they allow the sequential images to take the stage in their own right. In doing so, they juxtapose the minimalism of the perceptible elements to the numerous resulting effects, ranging from complex pictorial spatiality to pulsating movements. Gibson and Recoder “like to think of themselves as facilitators of an expanded concept of cinema not necessarily outside of the so-called black box but precisely within the obscurity of its immanent darkness.” The evening will also include a slide-show presentation and discussion of the installation version Atmos. 10/2 Brooklyn, NY United States: Light Industry http://www.lightindustry.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=899b2010e4&e=f36020cad0> 7:30 PM, 155 Freeman St NINO OXILIA'S SATANIC RHAPSODY Satanic Rhapsody, Nino Oxilia, 1917, digital projection, 41 mins Introduced by Angela Dalle Vacche Rapsodia Satanica is a diva-film, that is, a work built around a female star whose marketing prestige overshadowed even the reputation of the director, Nino Oxilia. A remarkable example of early cinema for its use of outdoor locations, its stenciling color technique, and its Caravaggio-like chiaroscuro lighting, Rapsodia Satanica re-explores the bargain between Faust and the devil from a feminine point of view. Such a reinterpretation of the Faustian myth illuminates cinema's multiple temporalities of recording, projecting, and viewing, thus underlining Bergson's collusion of time and introspection for the sake of new ways of being. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2018 10/3 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=a7e4cd3dc0&e=f36020cad0> 7:00 PM, 32 Second Avenue EC: ERNIE GEHR "Ernie Gehr [makes] cinematic magic, often from the least likely materials. Indeed, Gehr's most famous film, SERENE VELOCITY (1970), in which the filmmaker transforms an institutional hallway in the basement of a classroom building at the State University of New York at Binghamton into a nexus of visual and conceptual energy, merely by adjusting his stationary camera's zoom lens every four frames for twenty-three minutes, can be read as Gehr's manifesto. For Gehr the most everyday spaces and the most mundane actions offer the imaginative filmmaker the most interesting potential. No other filmmaker, with the exception of Michael Snow, has so relentlessly and so productively explored the capacity of filmmaking to develop the visual (and auditory) opportunities afforded by the cinematic apparatus itself." -Scott MacDonald, A CRITICAL CINEMA 5 REVERBERATION (1969, 23 min, 16mm) SERENE VELOCITY (1970, 23 min, 16mm, silent) & STILL 1971, 54 min, 16mm Total running time: ca. 105 min.

Il a réinventé à lui seul l’esthétique du New American Cinema en utilisant une technique de caméra discrète pour capter la vie éblouissante et secrète de nos forêts en voie de disparition. Son cinéma transmet au spectateur le poids oppressant d’une beauté sublime et accorde une attention particulière aux éléments du monde naturel, que la plupart des gens considèrent comme un arrière-plan, à travers une série de variations musicales. Les poèmes de Tessa Day furent sa plus grande inspiration. Ce programme, intitulé Matters of Life and Death, est issu d’une projection au Boston Paramount Theatre en avril 2018, et qui fut la dernière apparition publique de Robert Todd. Nous avons choisi d’ajouter trois films profondément personnels, à ce programme, qui permettront de mieux comprendre l’esprit de l’artiste. Ils révèlent les développements récents dans la vie de l’auteur: majoritairement montés à même la caméra et présentés dans un ordre correspondant à une année de tribulations. // 6 films | 77 min SPRING SONGS États-Unis | 2017 | 14 min | sans paroles MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH États-Unis | 2017 | 12 min | sans paroles NATURAL ORDER États-Unis | 2017 | 11 min | sans paroles FANTASIES États-Unis | 2017 | 13 min | sans paroles EXILE États-Unis | 2018 | 13 min | sans paroles GEMS États-Unis | 2018 | 14 min | sans paroles ** BILLET EN VENTE À PARTIR DU 25 SEPT. // TICKETS IN SALE STARTING SEPT 25 ** --------- 10/6 San Francisco, California: Other Cinema http://www.othercinema.com/ <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=637f24584e&e=f36020cad0> 8 PM, 992 Valencia Street LO-FI-PSY-FI-GEO: E. DAVIS' "JACK PARSONS" + J. BERMAN'S "EARTHLINGS" World-renown fringe religion scholar Erik Davis materializes into our cine-séance with an inside report on the Man of the Hour, Jack Whiteside Parsons, the OTO sorcerer/inventor who founded the JPL, spread wide the words of Aleister Crowley, incidentally catalyzed the cult of L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology, and, with New Age matriarch Marjorie Cameron, brought Thelemic sex-magick into California parlance. Author of Techgnosis, The Visionary State, and Nomad Codes, Davis lets sparkle his crown of occult expertise, as he here flips through clips of Parsons’ presence in contemporary film and TV, including Ridley Scott’s Strange Angel, Craig Baldwin’s Mock Up On Mu, et al. CO-FEATURED is journeyman Jonathan (Commune) Berman, energizing a rapt audience with the theatrical premiere of his mind-bending Calling All Earthlings, seeded by another SoCal desert wizard, George Van Tassel. A Hughes Aircraft engineer who ”dropped out” of the industry, built the Integratron (without nails!) and his own airfield at Giant Rock, and initiated the post-War UFO craze, Van Tassel serves as a sympathetic protagonist for Berman’s multi-faceted essay, a phantastic philmic freak-show that generously affirms ”alternative” beliefs and the multiplicity of West Coast cosmologies.
