Rosas, who began his career as a newsreel cinematographer, based the screenplay on contemporary newspaper accounts and police casebooks, and shot many events in their actual locations. Professionals performed alongside non-actors throughout�the police chief in charge of the investigation, for instance, played himself�and in the final scene Rosas inserted his own 1915 footage of the real gang�s execution by firing squad. Beyond its remarkable mingling of fact and fiction, El autom�vil gris is also renowned for its formal innovations, which advanced the development of Mexican narrative filmmaking and anticipated the Cine de Ora era that would begin in the 1930s. As historian Charles Ram�rez Berg notes, Rosas�s epic is articulated in a distinctive visual style, combining the nascent strategies of Hollywood with a range of other influences: �penny press illustrations, early documentary reportage, the melodramatic strain of Italian cinema, the vitality of Feuillade�s French crime serials.� El autom�vil gris was first released as a twelve-episode cycle, and remained popular into the sound era; Rosas�s heirs even recut the film into feature-length versions in the 1930s, adding spoken dialog and sound effects. While these abridgments helped make Rosas�s work one of the most widely-seen Mexican films of all time, the process effectively destroyed El autom�vil gris�s initial design. In 2018, after years of tracking down lost elements and reconstructing the montage, Mexico�s Cineteca Nacional completed an ambitious digital restoration of the 1919 original. This afternoon at Light Industry will be its New York debut. 3/7 San Francisco: Other Cinema <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=3c479a10ed&e=f36020cad0> http://www.othercinema.com/ 8:30 PM, 992 Valencia St 16MM RESTORATIONS In the first of three Incredibly Strange Music programs, Renaissance man Peter Conheim proudly premieres Ears, Eyes, and Throats, 1976-1981, an hour of 16mm punk shorts that he has personally restored!

Willoughby Ave LIVE PERFORMANCE OF REFLEKTORISCHE FARBLICHTSPIELE BY KURT SCHWERDTFEGER Performed by Tessa Hughes-Freeland, Genevieve HK, Ray Sweeten, Stephanie Wuertz A live performance of Kurt Schwerdtfetger�s �Reflektorishe Farblichtspiele (Reflecting Color-Light-Play)� (1922/66) in connection with a solo exhibition of the work at the gallery through March 22nd. The work was first performed at the home of Wassily Kandinsky in 1922 as part of the Bauhaus lantern festival when Schwerdtfeger was a 25-year old student. The piece - which consists of up to five movements, or �S�tze� including: �Vegetativ Form,� �Bauhaus 1922,� �Streifen und Gitter� (Stripes and Grids), �Rotes Quadrat� (Red Square), and �Hommage � Oskar Schlemmer� � utilizes a large hand-built cube projection apparatus in which performers activate stencil shapes and a switchboard of colored lights to form a complex, abstract light play appearing on its screen surface. The performance at the gallery features Tessa Hughes-Freeland on the keyboard-like light system; Genevieve HK and Stephanie Wuertz manipulating the stenciled shapes, and Ray Sweeten on live sound augmentations to the 1966 soundtracks by Wolfgang Roscher, as well as offering additional visual support.A Q&A with the performers will follow the performance.

Talena Sanders makes films that explore individual and collective senses of identity. From essay films to diaristic personal work, her films weave together disparate audiovisual source materials to dig into the complexity of lived and shared experiences. Alongside her work, Sanders has chosen a selection of short films that shift between self-presentation and considering how one is seen by a lover and by the wider world. The program includes historical queer films created by Bay Area film artists that trace a lineage for a project she is currently developing. These works are screened in dialogue with contemporary works that plumb the depths of depicting desire, sensuality, and longing. This event is co-presented with the Museum of the Moving Image as part of their First Look Festival. Between My Flesh and the World’s Fingers Dir. Talena Sanders. 2018, 31 mins. Inspired by queer proto-feminist turn of the century writer Mary MacLane, director Talena Sanders creates a dreamy, incantatory essay film. A tactile collage of MacLane’s still bold diary entries, archival material, recreation, and contemporary landscape photography of MacLane’s Butte, Montana, the film melds past and present, biography and autobiography, iconoclasm and experimentalism. Between My Flesh and the World’s Fingers [Dir. Talena Sanders. 2018, 31min.] Reasonable Watchfulness [Dir. Talena Sanders. 2018, 7min.] Talena Sanders is a filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist. She received her M.F.A. in Experimental and Documentary Arts from Duke University. Her work has been screened, exhibited and collected internationally, including at New York Film Festival’s Views from the Avant-Garde, Marseille Festival of Documentary Film (FID Marseille), Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM), Viennale, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Play-Doc Tui and Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. She is an Assistant Professor of Communication and Media Studies and Director of the Film Studies program at Sonoma State University. 3/12 Los Angeles, California: Filmforum <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=c095ef2636&e=f36020cad0> http://www.lafilmforum.org/ 7:00 pm, MOCA Grand Avenue, Ahmanson Theater, 250 S. Grand Ave., PATTERN IN CONTEMPORARY FILM Inspired by the exhibition With Pleasure: Pattern and Decoration in American Art 1972-1985, Pattern in Contemporary Film investigates the way pattern, decoration, and typically-domestic subject matter is used as material in contemporary film and digital media. This group show includes work by Charles Woodman, Brian O�Connell, the Maternal Fantasies artist collective, and Jodie Mack. In Pulse Generator Pastry, Charles Woodman, son of the artist Betty Woodman, repurposes patterns she prepared for ceramic sculptures as subjects for animation. The animation was deployed as an �attractor�, set up outside a 2016 gallery show of her work. Sculptor Brian O�Connell uses existing patterns � cycles of the moon and sun, chapter headings in an Italo Calvino book � to lend form and color to his 16mm film Palomar. Maternal Fantasies, a nine-person German collective, produces tableaux vivants; based on classical or artwork references, these images are completely reconstituted to render a contemporary, poetic account of motherhood and care, �freed from the corset of generalization.� Finally, filmmaker Jodie Mack depicts an abstract landscape using trinkets and costume jewelry in her film Something Between Us. Tickets: : $15 general; $10 for seniors; $8 for students with ID; free for Filmforum and MOCA members. Available in advance from Brown Paper Tickets or at the door 3/12 San Francisco, CA United States: San Francisco Cinematheque <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=10200978f8&e=f36020cad0> http://www.sfcinematheque.org 7:30 PM, 701 Mission St I HATE THE INTERNET: TECHNO-DYSTOPIAN MALAISE Tickets available soon! Zach Blas’ Contra-Internet: Jubilee 2033 (2018) audaciously re-imagines scenes from Derek Jarman’s 1978 queer punk masterpiece Jubilee, replacing Jarman’s vision of a deliriously devastated Britain with one of Silicon Valley in flames. In Blas’ take on Jarman’s allegory, the acid-tripping trio of Ayn Rand (played by underground icon Susanne Sachsse), Alan Greenspan and painter Joan Mitchell bear witness to the internet’s end. As Apple, Facebook and Google campuses burn, techies, hackers and wannabes alike are made to pay for their complicity, and disembodied avatars—including a “contra-sexual, contra-internet prophet” portrayed by performance artist Cassils—present histories of techno-surveillance and enact purgative gestures of erotic rebellion. This screening of Blas’ Jubilee 2033 is accompanied by a quartet of works similarly examining themes of techno-dysphoria and which consider the relevance of emotion and subjectivity in an increasingly mediated and chillingly trans-humanist culture. Jesse McLean’s The Invisible World (2012) catalogs the video genres of Web 2.0—notably YouTube “Haul” and “Unpacking” videos—while considering our attachments to our objects and our bodies in an increasingly dematerialized social landscape. Mike Hoolboom’s Instructions for Robots (2019) considers the interior lives and sexualities of a cadre of emotion-laden robots exploring avant-garde filmmaking in a Cuban art school. Peter Burr’s Drop City (2019)—named for Colorado’s famed (and failed) early counter-cultural art commune—presents a looping landscape of electronic melancholy while continuing his exploration of contemporary video game aesthetics. Opening this program of 21st Century despair is James Duesing’s 1990 work of computer animation Maxwell’s Demon, an uncannily resonant missive from the internet’s early daze.

Residing at the intersection of science and superstition, belief and manifestation, these photographs explore the projection of meaning onto inanimate objects. For this body of work, she electrifies objects, ranging from vintage letterpress blocks to Mexican milagros (like the kind left at churches and other places of worship) with a high-voltage electromagnetic discharge. These are then placed directly onto photographic film to create an exposure without the use of a camera. The resulting images show the ghostly image of the object surrounded by its aura. http://www.kerrylaitala.com/ Stay after for “Emotions in Metal,” nine short works by Tommy Becker with special guests Jon Leidecker and Steev Hise. 8pm show time. https://facebook.com/events/s/shapeshifters-presents-tommy-b/2506163543033743/?ti=icl 3/14 Oakland, CA United States: Shapeshifters Cinema <https://hi-beam.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e4e99825c1d97f8de6eaffad3&id=693b23dbe1&e=f36020cad0> http://shapeshifterscinema.com/ 7:30 PM, 567 5th St SHAPESHIFTERS PRESENTS TOMMY BECKER W/STEEV HISE & JON LEIDECKER Admission is still (currently) free but donations are greatly appreciated. Tommy Becker returns to Shapeshifters to present "Emotions in Metal,” a twenty minute visual concept album that continues the artist's investigations into expanded storytelling using video, music, poetry, performance and computer-generated design. The nine short works link thematically in their investigations into human-vehicle relationships. Whether, acting out instructional poetry in the garage, documenting the interiors of strangers’ cars or celebrating art world connections to the road, the video work balances playful humor with a critical eye on where society is currently parked. Steev Hise and Jon Leidecker will open the show with a short 20-minute set titled "I WANT TO SAY" exploring the cybernetic possibilities of expanded cinema, special brains and motivated reasoning. http://shapeshifterscinema.com/ 3/14 San Francisco, CA United States: The Lab 5:00 PM, 2948 16th St LIGHT FIELD 2020 - PROGRAM 3 Program 3 curated by Zachary Epcar Watching the Detectives Chris Kennedy 2017 | 37 minutes | Canada | 16mm | color | silent In Order Not To Be Here Deborah Stratman 2002 | 33 minutes | USA | 16mm | color | sound 3/14 San Francisco, CA United States: The Lab 7:00 PM, 2948 16th St LIGHT FIELD 2020 - PROGRAM 4 Program 4 curated by Trisha Low .

Birthed in Portland in the shadow of Smegma, and here tonight all the way from Maine, they perform in front of the NorCal premiere of their half-hour Urban Fossickated Octave. Their act is in the spirit of visionary architect and painter Paul Laffoley, whose works, as well as Alex Gray's, radiate from our screen. Guerneville guest Ryan Riehle is also on hand to further elucidate the Laffoley legend with conspiratorial tales of the eccentric's psychic netherworlds.

US Premieres! A selection of films produced between 2018-2020 in intensive filmmaking workshops at Catedra Ingmar Bergman and Filmoteca UNAM, in collaboration with DocsMX, led by Travis Wilkerson. The films open an impelling window into a dynamic, emerging Mexican avant-garde�at once deeply political, highly engaged, and formally stunning. Part monument, part call to action, these films confront pressing matters in Mexico: 1) the long history of horrific violence against students organizing for human and democratic rights; 2) the disproportionate direction of that violence against women�femicide. This group of films confronts these fraught subjects with poetic charge and lyrical hope. They don�t simply depict violence�they use a host of cinematic techniques to embody that violence. Tickets: $12 general; $8 students (with ID)/seniors; $8 for American Cinematheque members; free for Filmforum Members.

Together they develop a study of pure color based on the notion that film is essentially change and not motion. The films build one on the other as first pure change, then relational change, and finally, irrational change. They can be seen together or as separate works. - BB _____ Let us know about your alternative film/video event!
