Bamcinématek Announces Special Events and Shorts for the Seventh Annual Bamcinemafest, Jun 17—28 BAMcinématek announces special events and shorts for the seventh annual BAMcinemaFest, Jun 17—28 20th anniversary—Larry Clark’s Kids with Clark, Harmony Korine, Leo Fitzpatrick, Chloë Sevigny, and Rosario Dawson in person NY Premiere—2K Restoration of Penelope Spheeris’ The Decline of Western Civilization with Spheeris in person NY Premiere—2K Restoration of Les Blank’s long-lost A Poem Is a Naked Person Free outdoor screening—Richard Linklater’s Slacker in Brooklyn Bridge Park The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinemaFest, BAMcinématek, and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/May 13, 2015—BAMcinématek announces special events and shorts for the seventh annual BAMcinemaFest (Jun 17—28). On Thursday, June 25, BAMcinemaFest presents a 20th anniversary screening of Larry Clark’s Kids (1995), featuring Clark, screenwriter Harmony Korine, and cast members Leo Fitzpatrick, Chloë Sevigny, and Rosario Dawson in person at BAM Rose Cinemas. One of the most controversial movies of the 1990s, Kids—screening in 35mm—follows teenage skaters Telly (Fitzpatrick) and Casper (Justin Pierce) as they drift aimlessly through downtown Manhattan in the single-minded pursuit of sex and drugs. But all the while, the specter of AIDS hangs ominously in the background. This startlingly raw, vérité portrait of urban adolescence features the breakout roles of Sevigny and Dawson and was hailed by The New York Times as “a wake-up call to the world.” Twenty years later, it has lost none of its impact. BAMcinemaFest presents the New York premiere of a 2K restoration of Penelope Spheeris’ The Decline of Western Civilization (1981) on Friday, June 19, at BAM Rose Cinemas. The ultimate record of LA’s 80s punk subculture, this documentary captured the essence of the scene, providing a front row seat to the mosh pits, violence, humor, and anti-establishment view of the world, as well as unparalleled access to some of the most influential and innovative musicians and groups of all time, including X, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Fear, and Germs. Largely unknown to the mainstream world at the time, many of the punk bands first seen here have become legendary. This time capsule of a singular moment in rock history is highly-celebrated and has been in demand for decades by fans worldwide. Spheeris will appear in person for a Q&A, followed by an LA punk after-party at Rough Trade NYC. The Decline of Western Civilization is a Bleeding Light Film Group release. Following BAMcinématek’s Les Blank retrospective last fall and an outdoor screening of select shorts in the 2014 festival, BAMcinemaFest is proud to present the New York premiere of Blank’s restored and rediscovered A Poem Is a Naked Person (1974) on Saturday, June 27, at BAM Rose Cinemas. One of the most versatile and voracious chroniclers of American life, Blank turned his camera on future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Leon Russell for his first feature-length documentary. Unreleased since its completion in 1974, this intimate portrait of the country-folk-rock singer-songwriter (“A Song for You,” “Tight Rope,” “This Masquerade”) at the peak of his creative powers interweaves mesmerizing performance footage, candid observations of Russell and his band around the Shelter Records compound in his native Oklahoma, and exchanges with fellow music royalty like George Jones and Willie Nelson. This raw 16mm-shot treasure trove transcends the music doc trends of its era by bringing vanished landscapes of rural American culture back to vivid life. A Poem Is a Naked Person is a Janus Films release. The festival moves outdoors on Thursday, June 25, with a free screening of Richard Linklater’s Slacker (1991) at Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Linklater put Austin, Texas, on the map as Weirdo Capital, USA with this charmingly lo-fi, shot-on-16mm comedy about oddballs and underachievers living on the fringes of society. Featuring a cast of over 100 of the director’s friends and fellow Austinites, Slacker bounces giddily between a dizzying array of storylines involving conspiracy theorists, anarchists, and a woman trying to sell a Madonna pap smear. Freewheeling, funny, and still fresh, this Gen X classic is a touchstone of 90s indie filmmaking. The event will also feature food vendors curated by Smorgasburg and a DJ spinning from 7pm until the screening begins at dusk. Slacker is co-presented by Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy. BAMcinemaFest announces a shorts program and a selection of shorts paired with main slate features, including nine New York premieres and three world premieres. The shorts program features Owen Kline and Andrew Lampert’s New York City fairy tale Jazzy for Joe, starring radio legend Joe Franklin; Swimming in Your Skin Again, a musical meditation on rites and rituals directed by Terence Nance (An Oversimplification of Her Beauty); and two shorts by BAMcinemaFest alumni: Jennifer Reeder’s chronicle of the psychic turmoil surrounding a prom, Blood Below the Skin, and Joe Callander’s no-holds-barred portrait of a Vietnam vet in Bangkok, Gary Has an AIDS Scare. BAMcinemaFest also presents the world premieres of C. Mason Wells’ Super 8-shot vacation drama Judy Judy Judy; Michael Almereyda’s Mondo Cane, a portrait of photographer Thomas Roma; and Sam Fleischner and Iva Gocheva’s sun-drenched snapshot of lost love Porcupine, each paired with features. Two documentary shorts screen in their New York premieres: Pacho Velez’s (Manakamana) Maryland Public Television Interviews the Reagans, navigating little-known events from the president’s term; and Dan Schoenbrun’s The School Is Watching, a found-footage assemblage of high school morning announcements videos. Also screening with features are narrative shorts Muck, about an aspiring comic from the outer boroughs directed by Bruce Smolanoff; Jeremy Hersh’s Actresses, which witnesses the relationship between an aspiring actress and an off-Broadway star; and Michael Mohan’s Pink Grapefruit, which won the Jury Award for Best Narrative Short at SXSW. As a follow-up to BAMcinemaFest, BAMcinématek presents Indie 80s (Jul 17—Aug 27), a sprawling, 50+ film snapshot of the decade between the golden age of 70s New Hollywood and the indie boom of the 90s, showcasing precursors to today’s independent film landscape. Full lineup to be announced. Indie 80s is co-presented by Cinema Conservancy.

In July 1999, beginning with a series celebrating the work of Spike Lee, BAMcinématek was born as Brooklyn’s only daily, year-round repertory film program.

  • Resavoring Cannibal Holocaust As a Mockumentary
    hobbs Back to Issue 7 "Eat it alive and swallow it whole!": Resavoring Cannibal Holocaust as a Mockumentary by Carolina Gabriela Jauregui ©2004 "The worst returns to laughter" Shakespeare, King Lear We all have an appetite for seeing, an appétit de l'oeuil as Lacan explains it: it is through our eyes that we ingest the Other, the world.1 And in this sense, what better way to introduce a film on anthropophagy, Ruggero Deodato's 1979 film, Cannibal Holocaust, than through the different ways it has been seen.2 It seems mankind has forever been obsessed with the need to understand the world through the eyes, with the need for visual evidence. From Thomas the Apostle, to Othello's "ocular proof," to our television "reality shows," as the saying goes: "Seeing is believing." We have redefined ourselves as Homo Videns: breathers, consumers, dependants, and creators of images. Truth, in our society, now hinges on the visual; it is mediated by images. Thus it is from the necessity for ocular proof that Cinéma Vérité, Direct Cinema, documentary filmmaking and the mockumentary or mock-documentary genre stem. It is within this tradition that the Italian production Cannibal Holocaust inserts itself, as a hybrid trans-genre film. To better understand this film, I will not only look at it as a traditional horror film, but also as a contemporary mockumentary satire that presents itself as "reality" and highlights the spectator’s eye/I’s primal appetite. In the manner of Peter Watkins' film Culloden, Deodato's film is intended to confuse the audience's

  • This Film Is a Poem 1,380 Words
    This Film is A Poem 1,380 words - by Cynthia Close - published in 2016 in Documentary magazine- Review of the newly remastered Criterion released A Poem is a Naked Person, by Les Blank commissioned by Leon Russell, shot from 1972-74. Blu-Ray edition contains: *90 minute restored feature A Poem is a Naked Person *New conversation between musician Leon Russell and Harrod Blank, Les Blank’s son *Excerpts from a 2013 Q&A with Les Blank *The new documentary, A Film’s Forty-year Journey: The Making of “A Poem is a Naked Person”, 2016 *Out in the Woods, a short documentary by Maureen Gosling *An Essay by critic Kent Jones Why has A Poem is a Naked Person, a film Les Blank considered the greatest he ever made, remained virtually unknown and unseen, until now, over forty years after it was completed? An answer to this question can be found in the newly restored, Criterion released Blu-Ray DVD. It is clear that such a project would never have happened if it were not for the persistence and memory of “being there”, of Harrod Blank, Les Blank’s son. As a young boy, tagging along with his filmmaker dad in the backwaters of 1970’s Oklahoma he drew admiring portraits in magic marker of Leon Russell, the intended subject of his father’s film. It was the year following the release of Mad Dogs and Englishmen, a classic concert film starring Joe Cocker and Russell who at that time was at the peak of his fame. Russell was an accomplished pianist, session musician, and star performer who was in the process of building a top notch studio and music compound ninety minutes outside of Tulsa when he and his then-partner Denny Cordell commissioned Les Blank to make what they may have envisioned as a biopic with Leon Russell at the center.

MARIE-AUDE FOUÉRÉ Film as archive: Africa Addio and the ambiguities of remembrance in contemporary Zanzibar The Italian shock documentary Africa Addio contains a sequence about massacres that occurred during the Zanzibar revolution of 1964. Perceived by some of its Zanzibari viewers as a container of factual evidence of the brutality of this epochal event, this sequence is contested by others who assert that it was staged or re-enacted. One critical aspect of these oppositional views concerns the very status of this documentary and the trust that can be placed in it as an archival record. Whether Africa Addio is seen as authentic or fabricated, it provides Zanzibaris with a medium through which to revisit the past and rethink Zanzibari society in the present.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.

  • 'Emanuelle' Films
    Issue 9 May 2017 www.intensitiescultmedia.com Mondo Realism, the Sensual Body, and Genre Hybridity in Joe D’Amato’s ‘Emanuelle’ Films Mario DeGiglio-Bellemare John Abbott College Abstract This paper examines the place of Joe D’Amato’s series of Emanuelle films within the context of Italian cine- ma, exploitation cinema, and genre studies—especially the pornography and horror genres. I will focus on what I have labelled D’Amato’s Mondo Realist films that were made in a very short period between 1975-1978. I argue that D’Amato’s films offer an expansive sense of genre hybridity, especially as his films from this brief period are rooted in the Sadean tradition, the cinema of attractions, the Mondo film, neorealism, and the horror genre. I also examine D’Amato’s films in the terms set out by Linda Williams (2004a); namely, as an auteur of ‘body genres’ whose films must be considered in terms that move us beyond dominant scopocentric tendencies in film theory. D’Amato’s films offer a way to open up these categories through the sensual and corporeal experience of his hybrid films. Introduction The opening credit sequence is constructed through is not new to the landscape of Italian cinema: it is the a series of shots that showcase the sights of New main theme of Mondo Cane (Dirs.
