  • FILMS by LAWRENCE JORDAN Lawrence Jordan in Person
    Bay Area Roots, Risk & Revision FILMS BY LAWRENCE JORDAN Lawrence Jordan In Person Sunday, May 13, 2007 — 7:30 pm — Yerba Buena Center for the Arts I don’t know about alchemy academically, but I am a practicing alchemist in my own way. —Lawrence Jordan Lawrence Jordan has been making films since 1952. He is most widely known for his animated collage films, which Jonas Mekas has described as, “among the most beautiful short films made today. They are surrounded with love and poetry. His content is subtle, his technique is perfect, his personal style unmistakable.” Tonight’s screening sketches out a sampler of Jordan’s films, starting with Trumpit, a 1950s ‘psychodrama’ starring Stan Brakhage, with sound by Christopher Maclaine; Pink Swine, an anti-art dada collage film set to an early Beatles track; Waterlight the first of Jordan’s “personal/poetic documentaries” made in the 1950s aboard a merchant marine freighter during his days as a wandering flâneur; and Winterlight, a visual poem of the Sonoma County winter landscape. Lawrence Jordan’s four most recent films will conclude the night: Enid’s Idyll, Chateau/Poyet, Poet’s Dream, and Blue Skies Beyond the Looking Glass. (Jenn Blaylock) Trumpit (1956) 16mm, b&w, sound, 6 minutes, print from the maker Stan Brakhage stars as the constricted love in this spoof of pseudo-erotic card play. (LUX) Waterlight (1957) 16mm, color, sound, 7 minutes, print from the maker Among the wanderings that began in the 1950s was the filmmaker's 3-year stint in the merchant marine. Waterlight is a night and day impression of the never-constant, ever-changing vast ocean and its companion the sky.

  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.

  • The Barrymore
    The Barrymore We ‘more mature’ collectors will immediately recognize Lionel Barrymore as the great actor of the 1930s and 1940s, especially, although his stage career started in the mid-1890s, and his first film was around 1911. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in A Free Soul (1931). He is well known for the role of the villainous Henry Potter in Frank Capra's 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life. As a kid, I remember him from his role as Dr. Gillespie in all the Dr Kildare movies. But, he was also quite an accomplished artist, and that’s how he’s best known in our hobby...because of his etchings. You don’t have to have been in the hobby for very long before you start coming across all these metallic sets featuring his etchings. If you look closely, you’ll see that each is titled and each is signed ‘Lionel Barrymore’. How and why his art work became stock designs on matchcovers is probably an interesting story, but it’s one that I unfortunately haven’t been able to track down. I did find the following, however. Lionel Barrymore studied painting in Paris between 1903 and 1907. He attended Art Students League of New York. Even after settling on acting as a career path, he frequently made etchings, composed music and painted at his home in California. He published a novel, "Mr. Cantomwine", at some point during his life, although I don't know the date. According to Valenda's Obsessive Collective: "There are a lot of Barrymore prints around.
