FILMOGRAPHY Shadow and Light, the life and art of Elaine Badgley Arnoux (2009) Elaine Badgley Arnoux has lived the artistic life to its fullest. Coming of age in an era when avant- garde art – and the freewheeling life that went with it – was still seen largely as a boys’ club, Arnoux traveled the world, changing homes, countries, and lovers, and following her artistic vision with abandon. Inspired rather than deterred by her femininity, she undertook fiery large canvasses

210 POST STREET, SUITE 205. SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94108 | 415.956.3560 | WWW.DOLBYCHADWICKGALLERY.COM depicting the social upheavals of her times, as well as serene collective portraits of people inhabiting the places she has loved most – Biot, in southern France, and San Francisco, California. At 82 years old, Arnoux remains a revelation of dedication and vision, with a mischievous appetite for life and art. She puts it this way: “I was very old when I was young, I wasn’t young until I was old.” In Shadow & Light, director William Farley (John O’Keefe’s Song of Myself, Darryl Henriques Is In Show Business, The Old Spaghetti Factory, In Between the Notes) offers another deft and revealing portrait of an outsider artist who defies stereotypes of gender, culture and age. Farley tells a story not only of one determined artist, but also of artistic creation itself. H D. color, 28 minutes.

Walt Whitman’s SONG OF MYSELF (2007) Schools and bridges are named after him, yet most of us only read Walt Whitman in high school - without realizing his profound depth and his startlingly sensuous imagery. Song of Myself has been called the Second Constitution of the United States. Walt Whitman celebrated the moment, the special grandeur of everyday life - of breathing, of being, of ordinary things. Internationally acclaimed playwright, director, and solo performer, John O’Keefe has adapted “Song of Myself” into a dramatic tour de force poised between a straight recitation and an imaginative interpretation. O’Keefe’s performance captures the spirit and music of Whitman’s words that every image and nuance is viscerally immediate and easily accessible to the modern ear. Mr. O’Keefe delivers Whitman’s radically democratic, all-embracing vision of America as a nation of many nations and individuals. “Every poet has his own Walt Whitman within him. John O’Keefe liberated his Whitman and gave it to the open air, much to everybody’s delight.” Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet, City Lights Bookstore, San Francisco. Digital Beta, color sound, 50 minutes.

Arianna’s Journey (2007) is the story of an Italian women who has the gift of healing and her travels in pursuit of spiritual fulfillment. It takes us from an exorcism in Italy to sacred caves in France: from a peyote ritual in Mexico to holy shrines in Israel. Recording a modern day pilgrimage, the film is a meditation on the sublime and the mundane. Beta SP, color, 30 minutes.

Darryl Henriques Is In Show Business (2006) People in the entertainment industry recognize Darryl Henriques as an immensely talented comedian – one who creates a unique and biting commentary on modern life. Yet, up until now he’s been unable to break through and make a living as a performer. This is mostly because Darryl is driven to speak the truth, as he sees it, even when it conflicts with his ambitions. All his life, Darryl has been caught between his desire for success and his need to challenge authority - both on and off stage. At times, Darryl deliberately alienates his audience with his improvised routines and then tries to win them back. Such theatrics give pause to the people who could help Darryl to become more of a commercial success. This film is a portrait of an artist struggling to come to terms with his eccentricities as he attempts to gain access to a larger audience without compromising his spontaneity or the integrity of his humor.with Peter Coyote, Ed Begley Jr., Paul Krassner, and Jeremy Larner. Digital Beta, color, 28 minutes.

The Stories (2005) Like a Sufi tale The Stories conjures a profound situation and then undercuts it with an understated efficiency that jolts us into a moment of altered awareness. Urgently desiring an intimate connection with his dying parent, the son begs his father to talk, and in his desire to have an intimate moment with him, pushes his father into an exchange that results in an ironic encounter with reality. Digital Beta, color, 5 minutes.

Mike (Jack Byrne) is a taxi driver and unrequited Irish-American writer in the post-beat tradition. Mike lives with Maria (Theresa Saldana) a beautiful cultured Salvadorian who is carrying his child and expects him to live up to his responsibilities of fatherhood. When Irish literary maverick Padric Reilly (John Molloy) falls into their lives, the three are confronted with the struggle for control of their own dreams- and each other. Featuring: John Molloy, Theresa Saldana, Jack Byrne. Screenplay by Deborah Rogin, William Farley and Marjorie Berger. Score by Patrick Bowsher. 35mm, color, 88 minutes.

broke (Redux) 2004 (1995) A short but timeless journey into the heart of the most complex obstacle standing in the way of ending homelessness: society’s growing numbness to the problem of urban poverty. This film is anchored in the assumption that people have an innate ability to empathize with the struggles and hardships with the less fortunate, and that emotional understanding is the first step toward addressing homelessness and finding a solution. Music by Todd Boekelheide, performed by The Kronos Quartet. 16mm & 35mm, color, 10 minutes.

The Old Spaghetti Factory (2000) Mal and Sandra Sharpe found a painting in an upscale Berkeley junk shop. They bought the colorful mural which was painted in 1963 and had once been on the wall of North Beach’s Old Spaghetti Factory. The Sharpe’s puzzled over the forty faces in the painting. With filmmaker William Farley they discovered that these people were writers, artists, poets, and performers at the heart of San Francisco’s rich bohemian scene. This documentary is a record of what they found and captures the spirit of the Beat generation and the life of this unique night spot. A collaboration between William Farley, Sandra and Mal Sharpe. Video/Beta SP, color, 28 minutes.

In Between The Notes (1986) Pandit Pran Nath is the last Raga singer in a long line of North Indian vocal masters in the Kirana style of Indian classical music. This documentary follows Pran Nath back to India and traces his journey. Accompanied by his disciple the American avant-garde composer Terry Riley, the film celebrates the Indian musician’s life and work. Produced by Jim Newman. Video/Beta SP, color, 28 minutes.

Tribute (1986) An affirmative view of life and death. The images are almost without exception from the nineteen fifties; a ship launching, a woman dancing, a tree falling, a train passing- impersonal subjects which none the less are icons and metaphors for our most personal thoughts. Image after image emerge from darkness and hurl us toward remembrances of the purity and conflict that are part of our collective experiences of being alive. Music by David Byrne. 16mm, black and white, 7 minutes.

Citizen, I’m Not Losing My Mind I’m Giving It Away (1982) This film follows a group of anonymous young people on an apparently random journey through a disjointed San Francisco cityscape. Along their travels they encounter a succession of madmen and eccentrics, portrayed by various West Coast performance artists, whose impassioned monologues and improvisations satirize the institutions of contemporary American society. Featuring: Stoney Burke, Bob Carroll, Whoopi Goldberg (in her first screen appearance), Darryl Henriques, Murray Korngold, Pons Maar, John O’Keefe and Michael Peppe. 16mm, color, 75 minutes.

210 POST STREET, SUITE 205. SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94108 | 415.956.3560 | WWW.DOLBYCHADWICKGALLERY.COM Made For Television (1981) A dense assemblage of excerpts from television commercials juxtaposed to a soundtrack of extraordinary facts about human beings, the results of which presents a humorous and critical view of TV advertising manipulation. 16mm, color, 5 minutes.

Become An Artist (1981) A satire on television pitches, and how society sees the self-importance of artists. Featuring Father Guido Sarducci, from Saturday Night Live. A collaboration between Don Novello, George Manupelli and William Farley. 16mm, color, 1 minute.

Marathain The Irish Film (1979) Marathain is the Irish word for the act of surviving. I wandered around Ireland for two months searching for answers to my Irish heritage. The film weaves together found footage, interviews, and wildly unpredictable monologues into an impressionistic portrait of the Irish psyche. 16mm, color, 30 minutes.

The Bell Rang To An Empty Sky (1977) This film has taken one of the many tragedies buried in American history which befell the American Indian and through the voice of Dennis Banks, creates a tight and perceptive visual and aural telling and interpretation of the events. The selection of images, their iconography and meaning, effectively explored through juxtaposition, creates a powerful work. (John Hanhardt, Curator of Film and Video, Guggenheim Museum of Art, New York, N.Y.) 16mm, color, sound, 6 minutes.

Being (1975) A man sits drinking beer in front of his TV. The program that he occasionally glances at is a montage of popular culture images: old movies, commercials, and news clips. Accompanying the fleeting images is a loosely synchronous narrative on the evolution of man’s belief systems. The man’s behavior watching television becomes a commentary on contemporary culture; the relationship between public information and private consciousness, and the nature of reality. 16mm, color, 10 minutes.

Sea Space (1972/remastered 1997) This film documents a conversation I had with a fellow crew member aboard a cargo ship in the South China Sea. The story revolves around the actual confession from this seaman of his involvement in the accidental death of a group of Korean fisherman and his compliance in not trying to rescue them. The film is edited in a manner which allows the story to unfold without revealing the identity of the storyteller. 16mm & 35mm, black and white, 8 minutes.
