THE QUEEN OF SHEBA MEETS THE ATOM MAN
Dir: Ron Rice. "The film describes, poetically, a way of living. The
film is a protest which is violent, childish, and sincere - a protest
against an industrial world based on the cycle of production and
consumption." -Alberto Moravia, L'ESSPRESSO

THE NEW TALKIES: HIJACKING HOLLYWOOD
Call it ventriloquism / Call it movie telling / Call it counterfeit /
Call it shadow puppets / Call it Kuleshov Effect / Call it karaoke . . .
whatever . . . but don't call it heckletainment. Live film narration, or
"neo-benshi" is a format used for rescripting & reinterpreting scenes
from feature films shown on video. Writers sync themselves to the silver
screen and perform word surgery on the unsuspecting, clipped and muzzled
films, as they undergo live overdubbing. Amanda Davidson torches
"Firestarter" Rodney Koeneke reanimates "The Golem" Wayne Smith revamps
"Darling" Stephanie Young cries out "Viva L'Amour" Jen Nellis antidotes
"Poison" (Hitchcock Presents) Konrad Steiner disputes the "Minority

New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
7:30, 32 Second Avenue (at Second Street)
SENSELESS
Dir: Ron Rice. "Consisting of a poetic stream of razor-sharp images, the
overt content of SENSELESS portrays ecstatic travelers going to pot over
the fantasies and pleasures of a trip to Mexico.. Highly effective
cutting subtly interweaves the contrapuntal development of themes of
love and hate, peace and violence, beauty and destruction." -David
Brooks. THE FLOWER THIEF . 1960, 75 minutes, 16mm, b&w. Starring Taylor
Mead. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from the
National Film Preservation Foundation. "In the old Hollywood movie days
movie studios would keep a man on the set who, when all other sources of
ideas failed (writers, directors), was called upon to 'cook up'
something for filming. He was called The Wild Man. THE FLOWER THIEF has
been put together in memory of all dead wild men who died unnoticed in
the field of stunt." -R.R.

LAST REFUGE FOR THE SENSES OR NOISE HIPPIES AGAINST ALL WAR (EUROPEAN
TOUR)
Run a female artists' collective, brew your own absinthe, attend an
anti-gentrification community board meeting, wheatpaste signs protesting
the war(s), and then lose yourself in what may very well be the Last
Refuge for the Senses. A new breed of noise/ post-psychedelia has sprung
up as the only rational response to an increasingly alienating form of
global capitalism, in an increasingly violent- and- joyless politicized
existence – this new media responds with a Chaos of Sound and Light that
seeks to overwhelm you but stops before you're lost, its Kind Hippie
Heart beating out a space for you to occupy and own. From your favorite
Rhode Island filmmakers, we've got Group Trance Rituals, Direct
Dumpster-Dive Animation, History Seen Through the Eyes of Bats, Live
Soundtracks, Cut-Up Eyeballs, Single Frame Collectives, Puppet Chaos,
Analog Transcendence, and So Much More. Featuring A COLLABORATIVE
EXPANDED CINEMA PERFORMANCE from drone musician Joseph Grimm filmmaker
Ben Russell and featuring recorded music by Lighting Bolt, Mystery
Brinkman, Carly Ptak (Nautical Almanac), the Shirelles vs the Suicidal
Tendencies, Jodi Buonanno, and more! These eyes/ears represent the true
cinema of deliverance, the theater of Psychic Hearts and Radical Love.

7:00 & 9:00, 32 Second Avenue (at Second Street)
THE BRIG
Dir: Jonas Mekas. If you haven't heard, THE LIVING THEATRE is back in
action in their new Lower East Side home with a restaging of the 1963
classic, THE BRIG. Explosively directed by company co-founder and
leading light Judith Malina, Kenneth H. Brown's terse exposé of
military prisons is, sadly, still an all-too-relevant subject. Jonas
Mekas's film of the original production is a landmark work of the New
American Cinema that remains a provocative, aggressive exploration of
cruelty and authority. Mekas shot the film over the course of one
evening, and fellow filmmaker Storm De Hirsch was on hand to capture the
event. To round out this tribute, we proudly present Shirley Clarke's
film of another renowned LIVING THEATRE production, Jack Gelber's THE
CONNECTION (recently preserved by the UCLA Film & Television Archive).
Founded in 1947 as an imaginative alternative to the commercial theater
by Judith Malina, the German-born student of Erwin Piscator, and Julian
Beck, an abstract expressionist painter of the New York School, THE
LIVING THEATRE has staged nearly a hundred productions performed in
eight languages in 28 countries on five continents - a unique body of
work that has influenced theater the world over. Its new theater, at 21
Clinton Street, is the company's first permanent home since the closing
of its location on Third Street at Avenue C in 1993. For more
information call (212) 792-8050, or visit livingtheatre.org. Thanks to
The Living Theatre, Todd Wiener & Joe Hunsberger (UCLA Film & Television
Archive), and Brooke Allen. . . "1963 saw the controversial off-Broadway
theater production THE BRIG by THE LIVING THEATRE. Filmed on stage with
the original cast, rarely has there been a more intense cinematic
adaptation of a play. Executed with brutish authenticity, THE BRIG won
the Venice Festival Grand Prize for best documentary. A polemic drama
with sonic shock waves, it is a nightmare that suggests 'Kafka with a
Kodak.' The audience is placed in a violently claustrophobic
environment, a Marine Corps stockade. Mekas puts aside his poetic
sensibilities and ties us to a chair in the blistering sun with no
water, no hope, and no mercy. This film is hard as nails." -MELBOURNE
UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL. . Followed by: . Storm De Hirsch. NEWSREEL:
JONAS IN THE BRIG. 1964, 5 minutes, 16mm. Preserved with support from
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Poet/Filmmaker Storm De
Hirsch was on-hand to document Mekas as he threw himself into the
filming of THE BRIG. This gorgeous new print was recently preserved by
Anthology and we are happy to present it here for the first time. Keep
an eye out for more De Hirsch preservations in the very near future.
"Not only was [De Hirsch] able to capture a study of Mekas while he was
filming, but also in the newsreel there is the tension and apprehension
of the moment and even the panic of the possibility of not being able to
finish the film." -Bob Lehman, TODAY'S FILM-MAKER

THE CONNECTION
Dir: Shirley Clarke. For series description, see notes for Thursday,
July 12. . "Clarke's first feature, made after several avant-garde
shorts and before her better-known THE COOL WORLD and PORTRAIT OF JASON.
Based on Jack Gelber's play about a group of junkies hanging out in a
New York loft waiting for their fix, THE CONNECTION is part Beat
narrative, part interrogation of documentary form, part portrait of a
subculture. Noted for Clarke's innovative camera-choreography, it was
banned for its obscenity but won the Critic's Prize at Cannes." -Irina
Leimbacher, SF CINEMATHEQUE. .

PAUL SHARITS PROGRAM
S:TREAM:S:S:ECTION:S:ECTION:S:S:ECTIONED. 1968-70, 41 minutes, 16mm,
color. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from the
National Film Preservation Foundation. "A conceptual lap dissolve from
'water currents' to 'film strip currents'/Dedicated to my son
Christopher." -P.S. "Yes, S:S:S:S:S:S is beautiful. The successive
scratchings of the stream-image film is very powerful vandalism. The
film is a very complete organism with all the possible levels really
recognized." -Michael Snow. "A scratch is generally considered a
negative factor, which distracts from and eliminates the illusion by
cutting away at the emulsion base of the film itself. But in
S:S:S:S:S:S, Sharits makes a scratch a positive factor in its additive
and subtractive relationship to the recorded film illusion. And, at the
same time, he uses the scratch to emphasize the linearity of the film
material and its passage through the projector.." -Regina Cornwell,
ARTFORUM. N:O:T:H:I:N:G . 1968, 36 minutes, 16mm. Preserved by Anthology
Film Archives with support from the National Film Preservation
Foundation. Based in part on the Tibetan Mandala of the Five Dhyani
Buddhas/a journey toward the center of pure consciousness (Dharma-Dhatu
Wisdom)/space and motion generated rather than illustrated/time-color. .
"In essence there are only three flicker films of importance, ARNULF
RAINER, THE FLICKER, and N:O:T:H:I:N:G… In terms of the subject we have
discussed here, it is Sharits's N:O:T:H:I:N:G that opens the field for
the structural film with a flicker base." -P. Adams Sitney.

THE TIN WOODMAN'S DREAM (1967, 15 minutes, 35mm). "My cinematic excreta
is of four varieties: - batiked animations made directly on film between
1939 and 1946; optically printed non-objective studies composed around
1950; semi-realistic animated collages made as part of my alchemical
labors of 1957 to 1962; and chronologically super-imposed photographs of
actualities formed since the latter year. All these works have been
organized in specific patterns derived from the interlocking beats of
the respiration, the heart and the EEG Alpha component and should be
observed together in order, or not at all, for they are valuable works,
works that will forever abide - they made me gray." -Harry Smith. To

MUSIC BY THE EYEFUL: MICHALAK, SANTOMIERI, HSU AND MARSH
music by the eyeful presents a night of films by David Michalak and
stories narrated by Dean Santomieri, with live music by Dean and
violinist Angela Hsu. Special guest Bob Marsh will read the DADA poem
"Seahorses and Flying Fish" by Hugo Ball with Man Ray's Return to Reason
projected. --About the Artists -- David Michalak is celebrating over 35
years of independent filmmaking as well as performing in his bands REEL
CHANGE, Ghost in the House and the duo, Doctor Bob. This performance
will feature The Spoken Word and other films that borrow their dialogue
from phone messages, "How To", Instructional or other spoken word
recordings. As Robert Taylor (Tribune) writes: "The Spoken Word" is an
ingenious and often hilarious 22 minute satire of one family's addiction
to the platitudes of canned advice. Mom is lip-synching ideas from "How
To Give A Perfect Dinner Party." Dad is going through the agony of "How
To Quit Smoking Without Will Power" while Bobby is in his room buried
under punk rock albums, taping a confession from "The Drug Scene and
Youth." In 20 years we may look back at "Shirley MacLaine's Inner
Workout" with similar amusement." www.eye-fullfilms.com/ -- Dean
Santomieri is a writer, musician and video-maker. His performances
usually include narration, electro-acoustic music, and video. His video
Twin, a send up of David Lynch's Twin Peaks, was screened in festivals
around the world. Angela Hsu is an orchestral, chamber and freelance
musician, who is now involved in avant-garde, experimental and
improvisatory musics. Dean Santomieri will present stories and videos
based on his dreams, with music by Dean and violinist Angela Hsu.
www.foundrysite.com/santomieri/ -- Bob Marsh is a well seasoned
improviser whose work has involved shaping sounds words images ideas. He
currently leads or directs String Theory, a string ensemble focusing on
textures and microtonics; the Che Guevarra Memorial Marching (and
Stationary) Accordion Band, structured and free improv for six to
fifteen accordions; Robot Martians, electronics and processed voice; the
Out of the Blue Chamber Ensemble, a mixture of reeds and strings; Opera
Viva, voiced physical theater; the Quintessentials, a quintet
specializing in interpreting graphic compositions based on alterations
to the Michelin Road Guide to France; and the Illuminated Orchestra,
structured improves for large ensemble.

www.myspace.com/bobisadoctor -- About Music by the Eyeful
(www.illuminatedcorridor.com/eyeful.html) This is the fourth in a
spontaneous series of concerts featuring inventions in visual audio ,
exploring the moving boundaries between music, film, optics, graphics,
loops and reels, guest curated by Suki O'Kane, musician and curator of
The Illuminated Corridor. -- About the Corridor --
(www.illuminatedcorridor.com) The Illuminated Corridor is a next step in
outdoor cinema: a nomadic public art installation that creates
site-specific illumination of public space, drawing on local traditions
of film and live music. Launched in the Summer of 2005 by a
collaboration of over 60 Bay Area filmmakers, media artists, sound
artists and musicians, the Illuminated Corridor catalyzes new work,
showcases diverse collaborations between performative projectionists and
performing artists, and covers a vast territory of film and music
genres.

NO 12: HEAVEN AND EARTH MAGIC
Dir: Harry Smith. "NO. 12 can be seen as one moment - certainly the most
elaborately crafted moment - of the single alchemical film which is
Harry Smith's life work. In its seriousness, its austerity, it is one of
the strangest and most fascinating landmarks in the history of cinema.
"Its elaborately constructed soundtrack in which the sounds of various
figures are systematically displaced onto other images reflects Smith's
abiding concern with auditory effects." -P. Adams Sitney.

FLAMING CREATURES
Dir: Jack Smith. Jack Smith "graced the anarchic liberation of new
American cinema with a graphic and rhythmic power worthy of the best of
formal cinema. He has attained for the first time in motion pictures a
high level of art which is absolutely lacking in decorum; and a
treatment of sex which makes us aware of the restraint of all previous
filmmakers." -FILM CULTURE. . Also showing: Jack Smith. SCOTCH TAPE.
1962, 3 minutes, 16mm, color, sound. Junkyard musical.
