  • Animated Works by Nancy Andrews
    FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS Tue Mar 8 | 8:30 pm Jack H. Skirball Series $9 [students $7, CalArts $5] The Birdwoman and Her Dreams: Animated Works by Nancy Andrews World premiere and Los Angeles premieres With characters and stories synthesized from sources including history and autobiography, Nancy Andrews works in a hybrid form that combines research with storytelling, documentary, puppetry and vaudeville. The program presents the World Premiere of a Surprise Film along with two of her latest animated works. Inspired by classic "mad scientist" horror films and research into the physiology of insects, Behind the Eyes are the Ears (2010, 26 min.) features a soundtrack by Andrews and Zach Soares and mixes animation, live action and found footage to follow the revolutionary attempts of Dr. Sheri Myes to expand human perception and consciousness. On a Phantom Limb (2009, 35 min.), with music by John Cooper, invokes the realm of the invisible and takes as its starting point the filmmaker’s near-death experience during a harrowing surgical procedure. Andrews is the recipient of awards and grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, among others. In person: Nancy Andrews “Nancy Andrews’s films are small treasures, finely crafted, exquisite in small details and as rare as they come. Her cinema is artisanal, beautiful in its homespuness, expressive in its miscellany of hand-made images, whether drawn, animated or acted, and sly in its humor.” www.redcat.org | 1 – Lawrence Kardish, The Museum of Modern Art “Behind the Eyes are the Ears embraces the full scope of the unknown—from the sinister to the rhapsodic… The now-familiar Rorschach is consumed/ subsumed by an unknown, other-dimensional entity growing inward from the sides of the screen—making the peripheral central, conflating analog and digital into a warm, comforting, enigmatic, oily stain of a talisman.

  • Cinema in Dispute: Audiovisual Adventures of the Political Names ‘Worker’, ‘Factory’, ‘People’
    Cinema In Dispute: Audiovisual Adventures of the Political Names ‘Worker’, ‘Factory’, ‘People’ Manuel Ramos Martínez Ph.D. Visual Cultures Goldsmiths College, University of London September 2013 1 I declare that all of the work presented in this thesis is my own. Manuel Ramos Martínez 2 Abstract Political names define the symbolic organisation of what is common and are therefore a potential site of contestation. It is with this field of possibility, and the role the moving image can play within it, that this dissertation is concerned. This thesis verifies that there is a transformative relation between the political name and the cinema. The cinema is an art with the capacity to intervene in the way we see and hear a name. On the other hand, a name operates politically from the moment it agitates a practice, in this case a certain cinema, into organising a better world. This research focuses on the audiovisual dynamism of the names ‘worker’, ‘factory’ and ‘people’ in contemporary cinemas. It is not the purpose of the argument to nostalgically maintain these old revolutionary names, rather to explore their efficacy as names-in-dispute, as names with which a present becomes something disputable. This thesis explores this dispute in the company of theorists and audiovisual artists committed to both emancipatory politics and experimentation. The philosophies of Jacques Rancière and Alain Badiou are of significance for this thesis since they break away from the semiotic model and its symptomatic readings in order to understand the name as a political gesture. Inspired by their affirmative politics, the analysis investigates cinematic practices troubled and stimulated by the names ‘worker’, ‘factory’, ‘people’: the work of Peter Watkins, Wang Bing, Harun Farocki, Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub.

  • Joseph Cornell: Films
    Joseph Cornell: Films Joseph Cornell: Rose Hobart What Cornell’s movies are is the essence of a home movie. They deal with things very close to us, every day and everywhere. Small things, not the big things. Not wars, not stormy emotions, dramatic clashes or situations. His images are much simpler. […] The boxes, the collages, the home movies of Joseph Cornell are the invisible cathedrals of our age. That is, they are almost invisible, as are all the best things that man can still find today: They are almost invisible unless you look for them. — Jonas Mekas, “The Invisible Cathedrals of Joseph Cornell,” The Village Voice, December 31, 1970. Reprinted in Jonas Mekas: Movie Journal. Joseph Cornell was an artist fascinated by the innocent yet profound spectacle of The Movies: by the pleasures and mysteries afforded by the trick- film, by the exotic travelogue and by the untouchable beauty of the Hollywood starlet. While this deep appreciation of cinema is reflected in his collages and otherworldly box constructions, Cornell’s own work with film—largely unscreened during his lifetime—remains underappreciated to this day. Yet, with his childlike wonder, nostalgic appreciation for found footage, and sophisticated sense of montage, Joseph Cornell’s film work has proven highly influential on later generations of filmmakers. On the occasion of Joseph Cornell: Navigating the Imagination, San Francisco Cinematheque and The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art present Joseph Cornell: Films, a rare opportunity to see the film work of this master collagist

    WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART The American Century: Art & Culture 1900-2000 Part 11: 1950-2000 The Cool World: Film & Video in America 1950-2000 Curated by Chrissie Iles, curator of film and video, Whitney Museum of American Art. Film Program for the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s co-curated with Mark Webber; 1970s, 1980s and 1990s programs co-curated with Mark MacElhatten, Brian Frye, and Bradley Eros. The Cool Worldsurveys the development of avant-garde film and video in America, from the Beats of the to the 1950s recent innovations of the 1990s. The exhibition includes experiments in abstraction and the emergence of a new, "personal" cinema in the 1950s, the explosion of underground film and multimedia experiments in the 1960s, the rigorous Structural films of the early 1970s, and the new approaches to filmmaking in the 1980s and 1990s. The program also traces the emergence of video as a new art form in the 1960s, its use as a conceptual and performance tool during the 1970s, and its exploration of landscape, spirituality, and language during the 1980s . The Cool World concludes in the 1990s, with experiments by artists in projection, digital technology, and new media. The series is divided into two parts. Part I (September 26-December 5, 1999) presents work from the 1950s and 1960s . Part II (December 7, 1999-February 13, 2000) surveys the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Each month is devoted to a specific decade. All films are 16mm. Those marked (v) are shown on videotape. Asterisked films are shown in both the repeating weekly programs and the Thursday/weekend theme programs.

  • Report to the U. S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2009
    Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2009 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage April 12, 2010 Dr. James H. Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-336), I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2009 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. The NFPF presents this Report proud of deeds accomplished but humbled by the work still left to do. When the foundation started its grant program in 1998, only a handful of institutions had the resources to preserve historically significant American films in their collections. Now, thanks to federal funding secured through the Library of Congress as well as the support of the entertainment industry, 202 archives, libraries, and museums from coast to coast are saving American films and sharing them with the public. These efforts have rescued 1,562 works that might otherwise have been lost—newsreels, documentaries, silent-era features, avant-garde films, home movies, industrials, and independent productions. Films preserved through the NFPF are now used widely in education and reach audiences everywhere through theatrical exhibition, television, video, and the Internet. More culturally significant American films are being rediscovered every day—both here and abroad. Increasingly preservationists are finding that archives in other countries hold a key to unlocking America’s “lost” silent film heritage.

    ROBERT POLIDORI Cabinet intérieur de Madame Adélaide, (56 C) CCE.01.058, Corps Central - R.d.C, Château de Versailles, France, 1986, archival Pigment Inkjet Print, 50 x 40 inches Robert Polidori’s atmospheric photographs of interiors altered by the passage of time and the people who have lived in them are investigations into the psychological implications of the human habitat. He has shot all over the world: decaying mansions in the formerly splendid metropolis of Havana, the colonial architecture of Goa, India; Beirut’s courtyards showing traces of war; the devastation after the Chernobyl disaster; and urban dwellings in China and Dubai among other countries. In 2006, he was commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to photograph New Orleans in the wake of Katrina. Polidori’s career as a fine-art photographer began in the early 1980s when he gained permission to document the restoration of the Palace of Versailles. Since then, he has returned to the palace several times to take more pictures, and in every one, his conception of rooms as metaphors and vessels of memory is evident. He produces his interiors by means of a single long exposure in natural lighting. His tonally rich and seductive photographs are the product of a view camera, long hours waiting for the right light, and careful contemplation of the camera angle. Polidori uses large- format sheet film, which he believes produces superior images to digital photography. Robert Polidori won the World Press Award in 1998 and the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography in 1999 and 2000.
