WAR DANCE (USA, 2007, 105 min.) Introduced by Annie Kaempfer, Executive Director, Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital. Discussion with filmmaker Josie Swantek follows screening. Set in the lush, Eden-like Acholi homeland of northern Uganda, ravaged by more than two decades of civil war, this film tells the story of three children, Dominic, Rose and Nancy, whose lives have been torn apart by the conflict. With family members killed and their homes destroyed, the children are among the 60,000 displaced persons residing in the Patongo Refugee Camp. The war has stolen everything except their music. When they are invited to compete in an annual music and dance festival, their historic journey to the country’s capital, Kampala, provides an opportunity for them to regain a part of their childhood and to taste victory for the first time in their lives. Showing the children as they prepare for and participate in the competition, War Dance demonstrates the resilience of the human spirit in the worst of circumstances. Directed and produced by Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine. Co-produced by Josie Swantek. Winner, Documentary Directing Award, 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Audience Award, Hot Docs Film Festival. 2008 Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature. www.dcenvironmentalfilmfest.org 1 *Washington, D.C., United States and World Premieres Look for the Tadpole for Family and Children’s Films TUESDAY, MARCH 11 THURSDAY, MARCH 13 FRIDAY, MARCH 14 SATURDAY, MARCH 15 Pages 6 – 7 Pages 10 – 13 Pages 14 – 16 Pages 16 – 20 10:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 12:00 noon 10:30 a.m. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

    REVIEW OF EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AUSTRALIA SUBMISSION BY ANGUS TRUMBLE I wish to make the following submission in connection with DCITA’s 2003 Review of Exhibitions and Public Programs at the National Museum of Australia, Canberra. My thoughts about the NMA are largely the product of having for many years visited dozens museums all over the world, either out of interest or through my work as Curator of European Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia in Adelaide (1996 to 2001). However, I should also make it clear that I have had no professional contact with the NMA staff other than as an ordinary visitor, and it is in that capacity, not so much as an art museum curator, that I wish to comment on the building and aspects of the display, which I have studied carefully in the course of five visits in February and March this year. Despite the robust nature of many of my criticisms, I should say that I welcome the long-awaited arrival of the NMA. I believe it has a vital role to play in the cultural life of the nation, and the many problems that it must now solve are no more than temporary setbacks. None, apart from the terrible building, is insoluble, and even the building can be improved, I think, beyond measure. The architecture The design of the new NMA building is very poor and will not, I think, serve the long-term exhibition needs of the NMA. Nor will it open up new possibilities for public programming in the long term.

  • Not Even Past NOT EVEN PAST
    The past is never dead. It's not even past NOT EVEN PAST Search the site ... Of How a Hopi Ancient Word Became a Famous Experimental Film Like 65 Tweet by Montserrat Madariaga The theater is at its full capacity. The musicians are in place as the orchestra conductor starts to wave his arms in time with the image on the screen. There, little red dots emerge from a black background. They slowly widen and turn into capital letters: The word KOYAANISQATSI takes over. Keyboard notes evoking a church organ underline the mystery of the term and suit the dramatic hard-edged-typography. It is a Friday afternoon, February 23, 2018, in the Bass Concert Hall of the Texas Performing Art Center of The University of Texas, at Austin. The occasion is the screening of Godfrey Reggio’s 1982 lm, accompanied by the live performance of The Philip Glass Ensemble playing its original score music. Featured for the rst time to an ample public in the 1982 New York Film Festival, Koyaanisqatsi is an audiovisual art piece without dialogue or voiceover, deprived of any explicit narrative, that is nowadays a cult classic. It opens with a shot of the Holy Ghost Panel in Horseshoe Canyon, Utah, a human trace dated between 400 AD and 1100 AD. Then, footage of imposing natural landscapes and wildlife of the United States’ Southwest is followed by images of urban spaces: construction, crowded streets, demolitions, technology of the time, and so on. The collage escalates in its pace along with the music: utes, clarinet, trombone, viola, tuba, keyboards and vocals from time to time repeat the word “koyaanisqatsi” in a low pitched ceremonial tone that creates an apocalyptic atmosphere.

  • CMA Celebrates Philip Glass's 80Th with Screenings of the Qatsi Trilogy
    CMA celebrates Philip Glass’s 80th with screenings of the Qatsi Trilogy by Mike Telin “Philip Glass is turning 80 on the 31st of this month, and I thought that was certainly cause for tipping the cap to one of the most famous composers of our time,” said Tom Welsh, Cleveland Museum of Art’s Director of Performing Arts, during a recent telephone conversation. “As a composer, Glass had a real impact on the whole world — not just in classical music, but everything — and I thought that was worth recognizing.” Beginning on Friday, January 27 and continuing through Sunday, CMA and the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque will celebrate Glass’s 80th birthday with a presentation of The Qatsi Trilogy: Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, and Naqoyqatsi ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ by filmmaker Godfrey Reggio with landmark musical scores by Glass. “We decided to organize the weekend in a way that allows people to enjoy them one day at a time — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — or take in all three during one sitting on Saturday,” Welsh noted. “This is a great opportunity to see them in the theater, on the big screen with a big sound. They are meant to mesmerize, and they do.” A complete schedule is below. Welsh said that it was not easy to figure out the best way for CMA to honor Glass’s birthday, but after searching through the composer’s extensive catalogue of music, the trail quickly led to Koyaanisqatsi. “I think it’s a ​ ​ masterpiece. I try to use that word sparingly, but the marriage of Glass’s music with Reggio’s film does make it a masterpiece.

  • GODFREY REGGIO (Director, Koyaanisqatsi) Is a Pioneer of a Film Form That Creates Poetic Images of Extraordinary Emotive Impact
    GODFREY REGGIO (Director, Koyaanisqatsi) is a pioneer of a film form that creates poetic images of extraordinary emotive impact. Reggio is best known for the Qatsi Trilogy – essays of image and music, speechless narrations which question the world in which we live. Born in New Orleans in 1940, Reggio entered the Christian Brothers, a Roman Catholic Pontifical Order, at age 14 and remained as a monk until 1968. In 1963, he co-founded Young Citizens for Action, a community organization of juvenile street gangs. Reggio co-founded La Clinica de la Gente and La Gente, a community organizing project in Northern New Mexico’s barrios. In 1972, he co- founded the Institute for Regional Education in Santa Fe, a nonprofit organization focused on media, the arts, community organization and research. In collaboration with the New Mexico Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, Reggio co- organized a multimedia public interest campaign on the invasion of privacy and the use of technology to control behavior. Reggio’s collaboration on Koyaanisqatsi with Ron Fricke (Director of Photography) and Philip Glass (Composer) gained an international audience, critical acclaim and launched the Qatsi Trilogy. Koyaanisqatsi has been played live over 200 times in venues worldwide. Reggio’s collaborations with Philip Glass, include: Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988), Naqoyqatsi (2002), Anima Mundi (1992), Evidence (1995) and Visitors (2013). In 1993, Reggio was invited by Luciano Benetton and Oliviero Toscani to develop a new school “to smell the future” – an enterprise of exploration and production in the arts, technology and mass media. Called Fabrica – Futuro Presente, it opened in the middle of the ‘90s in Treviso, Italy.

  • Godfrey Reggio Interview
    Godfrey Reggio Interview Godfrey Reggio Spring 2003 Godfrey Reggio could be described, simply, as a documentarian. However, his exper- imental, non-narrated films go far beyond the simplistic mode of information-based moving pictures. Instead of numbers, charts and equations we are presented with inscrutable human faces, immersed in the technological world through which they travel. Stunning natural oases of water and land barricade the ominous enormity of industrialism, which crashes and storms with the surges of Phillip Glass’ minimalist orchestral score. Challenging, but never high-minded, encompassing but never eli- tist, Reggio has finally concluded the Qatsi trilogy (Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and Naqoyqatsi) with the theatrical release of Naqoyqatsi. Each film deals with, respec- tively, the perspectives as regards technology within the first world, the third world and the digital world, to be very brief. Reggio has worked in a “non-ideological, mutual aid collective”, founded 33 years ago, that operated without wage labor and focused on living life creatively. Its mem- bers have managed to retain creative control over their films despite substantial con- tracts with MGM, which has released the Qatsi DVDs. He and his teams’ creative approach to cataloguing and debunking the industrial division of labor is unprece- dented in the documentary tradition. Reggio’s work, in particular Koyaanisqatsi, is notable to Green Anarchists as one of the first films to question technology asato- tality. In his own words, “The idea was to mainline in the vascular structure ofthe beast this form, which was created by technology, to question technology. In other words, these are not environmental films, these are films more about the presence of technology as a new and comprehensive host of life and three different points of view about it.” The current film, Naqoyqatsi, will finish its theatrical run on January 24 and arrive in a three-DVD set with the rest of the films in 2004.

Geoffrey Brown 3 This thesis is dedicated to Agnès Calatayud, an inspirational teacher, who reconnected me to French cinema after a long carence, and who, crucially, first introduced me to the films of Claire Denis. 4 Abstract This thesis argues that the interest which the films of Claire Denis display in the ever-shifting modes of relations between people is illustrated through analysis of how music is used throughout her corpus of feature films. Denis draws on an extremely eclectic palette of musical styles, and the thesis proposes that these varying musical modalities are central to her treatment of relational issues, as are the ways in which she deploys her chosen musical selections.
