 FREE RADICALS: THE FILMS OF LEN LYE
  Dir: LEN LYE. "Every film [I made], I tried to interest myself in it by
  doing something not previously done in film technique." -Len Lye. Len
  Lye (1901-1980) followed this experimental approach throughout his
  career. A highly innovative painter, photographer, and poet, and one of
  the most important figures in kinetic sculpture (another aspect of the
  'art of motion' to which he devoted his life), Lye was a pioneer of
  direct (camera-less) filmmaking, eventually expanding his direct
  techniques from painting images directly onto his films to scratching
  and stenciling them. In the words of Hilary Harris, "Lye's films are
  outstanding in terms of kinetic rhythm, integrity, and what I call
  aliveness." -Roger Horrocks. TUSALAVA (1929, 10 minutes, 16mm). "For two
  years, between 1926-28, Len Lye completed more than 9,500 drawings for
  this nine-minute animated film. The film was screened once in 1929.
  Until it was screened again in 1967, TUSALAVA had become a forgotten
  part of film history." -THE LEN LYE FOUNDATION. A COLOUR BOX (1935, 4
  minutes, 16mm). The world's first film made without a camera. Lye
  painted colorful designs onto celluloid, synchronizing them to dance
  music. Presented courtesy of The British Post Office. KALEIDOSCOPE
  (1935, 4 minutes, 16mm). A "direct" film, along the lines of A COLOUR
  BOX. Made to promote Churchman cigarettes. THE BIRTH OF THE ROBOT (1936,
  7 minutes, 16mm). An advertisement for Shell Motor Oil. Puppets and
  models are brought to life by stop-frame animation, combined with
  colorful backgrounds and visual effects. . RAINBOW DANCE (1936, 5
  minutes, 16mm). Lye transformed this original black-and-white footage
  into a film of complex color patterns by manipulating the three matrices
  of the Gasparcolor system. Presented courtesy of The British Post
  Office. TRADE TATTOO (1937, 5 minutes, 16mm). The original
  black-and-white footage for TRADE TATTOO consisted of outtakes from GPO
  Film Unit documentaries, which Lye transformed by color processing
  methods similar to those used in RAINBOW DANCE. Presented courtesy of
  The British Post Office. N. OR N.W. (1937, 7 minutes, 16mm). A
  live-action film about a quarrel between young lovers. Presented
  courtesy of The British Post Office. COLOUR FLIGHT (1938, 4 minutes,
  16mm). "This riot of color was a showcase for Lye's hand-painted and
  stenciled imagery." -Roger Horrocks. SWINGING THE LAMBETH WALK (1939, 4
  minutes, 16mm). Lye matched different styles of 'direct' film imagery
  with various versions of Lambeth Walk, a popular dance of the period.
  MUSICAL POSTER #1 (1940, 3 minutes, 16mm). During WWII, MUSICAL POSTER
  #1 was screened in cinemas, factories and village halls. It ends by
  cautioning against spies who listen to conversations. COLOUR CRY
  (1952-3, 3 minutes, 16mm). A new type of "direct" film, made by the
  'rayogram' or 'shadow cast' process. Patterns were created by placing
  stencils and coloured gels over the film. TAL FARLOW (1950s/revised
  1980, 2 minutes, 16mm). Lye created the geometric, scratched images for
  this direct film in the 1950s. He revisited the material in 1980 but was
  unable to finish his work before he died. His assistant Steven Jones
  completed TAL FARLOW under the supervision of Anne Lye. RHYTHM (1957, 1
  minute, 16mm). A publicity film for Chrysler condenses the assembly of a
  car from months to one minute. FREE RADICALS (1958/revised 1979, 4
  minutes, 16mm). Made without a camera by scratching designs onto black
  leader using a variety of tools ranging from Indian arrowheads to dental
  instruments. "An almost unbelievable, immense masterpiece." -Stan
  Brakhage. PARTICLES IN SPACE (1957/revised 1979, 4 minutes, 16mm). "All
  of a sudden it hit me - if there was such a thing as composing music,
  there could be such a thing as composing motion. After all, there are
  melodic figures, why can't there be figures of motion? ..I hadn't the
  foggiest idea what they were all about and simply called them particles
  in space." -Len Lye.

 JOSEPH CORNELL: ESSENTIAL CINEMA FROM ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES: PROGRAM
 ONE
  Shortly before his death in 1972, Cornell gifted his own films as well
  as his extensive film collection to Anthology Film Archives. Much of
  this work has been preserved by that institution and is exhibited
  regularly at that venue. These programs represent two of these recurring
  screenings."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, 1970) Screening: Rose Hobart,
  Cotillion, The Midnight Party, The Children's Party, Aviary, Nymphlight,
  A Legend for Fountains, Angel and GniR RednoW.

 TONY CONRAD PERFORMANCE FORTY-FIVE YEARS ON THE INFINITE PLAIN
  Sa 13.10.2007 // 20:30 Tony Conrad & guest musicians: Forty-five Years
  on the Infinite Plain (1972-2007) Paleis voor Schone Kunsten / Palais
  des Beaux-Art entry fee: 9/7 euro organised by ARGOS (www.argosarts.org)
  and BOZAR CINEMA (www.bozar.be) The influence of violinist, composer,
  film and videomaker Tony Conrad (US, 1940) cannot be overestimated: he
  was one of the originators of the Minimalist music movement and a key
  figure in the experimental film scene in New York during the 1960s. He
  was co-founder of the 'Theatre of Eternal Music' collective (with John
  Cale, LaMonte Young and Angus MacLise), which developed a new musical
  language counter to any existing conventions of the time, and labeled as
  "dream music". Music was thus set free from the stronghold of musical
  'high' culture, by putting improvisation and participation above
  compositional authoritarianism, and by focusing on the aspect of
  listening itself through a new use of harmonic intervals. With his
  audiovisual Conrad also questions and undermines the laws of looking and
  listening. In his best-known film, The Flicker (1966), he searched for a
  visual equivalent of musical consonance, which resulted in a bombardment
  of stroboscopic flashes, producing optical color effects in their turn.
  After his collaboration with the Krautrock formation Faust during the
  1970s Conrad chose to lecture full time at the media faculty of Buffalo
  University. Since his work was brought back to attention in the 1990s he
  is more active than ever in a wide range of areas. Created in New York
  in 1972, the performance Ten Years Alive on the Infinite Plain seems to
  be the ideal synthesis of Tony Conrad's research: his structural
  approach to cinema unites with his minimal and open approach to music.
  Four projectors showing a hypnotic and flashing film loop are joined by
  musicians, producing continuous sound chords. The result is a suspended
  audiovisual environment, which is reflective and unravels very slowly;
  "very meditational and very terrific", as Conrad put it himself. This
  event creates a great opportunity to live this historic performance,
  never presented in Belgium, in a revised form : Forty-five Years on the
  Infinite Plain. As Conrad explains himself : "In revising "Ten" to
  "Forty-five", I am addressing a broader chronological perspective,
  relocating to a different social allegory, and accessing the plural
  tools that encompass a more contemporary "minimalism." The "subject"
  that is, the viewer—is still at the center of the work; but now the
  polyvalence of subjectivity is recognized in a figural usage of
  heterophony and antiphony. A solo cello challenges the lead instrument,
  and the audience area is divided in half. Musical figures invoke
  divisiveness, over the unitary ground of the drone. There are two
  distinct rhythms to follow, further dividing the subject's attention.
  These elements of what would have been seen in 1972 as "confusion"
  instead, i n today's heterotopia, reflect and invite access to a
  subjectivity that is more "true to life," more centered on the plain
  where we stand." "A work that relates to time but exists independent of
  points in time refers to the obverse side of time, beyond the
  possibility of measuring it with markings: duration. Yet unmeasured
  duration, in principle, is a kingdom entirely at the command of the
  recipient and his or her subjectivity." Diedrich Diedrichsen, Time and
  Dream: Tony Conrad's Yellow Movies Ten Years Alive on the Infinite Plain
  (1972), like some other works of the psychedelic era, commingles starkly
  formal abstraction with introspective romanticism. Its insistent
  conflation of quasi-religious spectacle with materialist minimalism
  follows a path marked out by Rothko, Cage, Andre, and many others. Today
  these elements have lost their radicalism; even the political conviction
  of that time, that such work could make contact, through its spiritual
  insistence, "with the political real behind the culture of commodity and
  spectacle" (as Diedrichsen puts it), seems problematic and thin. please

 EXPLOSIONS INTO COLOR: NEW ZEALAND EXPERIMENTAL FILM 1980-84
  In the early 1980s a generation of filmmakers emerged in New Zealand
  mixing art world sensibilities with cinema. Writing about his film MOUTH
  MUSIC, director Gregor Nicholas cited references "made in the spirit of
  affection and irony" to filmmakers including Carl Dreyer, Kenneth Anger
  and Andy Warhol. While EXPLOSIONS INTO COLOR demonstrates the influence
  of the 20th century avant-garde cinema in New Zealand, it also captures
  a group of filmmakers in tune with contemporary themes of race, politics
  and industrial culture. . Please note that all films are shown on video.
  Original formats are noted for each title. City Group MONKEY (1978, 9
  minutes, Super 8mm). City Group was an Auckland-based collective of
  artists and filmmakers that emerged in the early 80s with the production
  of a number of radical non-narrative films. . City Group SPRINGBOK
  (1981, 15 minutes, Super 8mm). Springbok combines dance, symbolic
  figures of fascism and a discordant soundtrack in an eerie and dark
  meditation on racial intolerance. . Richard Von Sturmer, Charlotte
  Wrightson, Derek Ward THE SEARCH FOR OTTO (1986, 16 minutes, Super 8mm).
  A woman develops an obsession with a masculine figure from her dreams
  who escapes into the imaginative world of an Egyptian landscape, leaving
  behind a series of objects, a punching bag, an ashtray, an open book..
  Gregor Nicholas MOUTH MUSIC (1981, 15 minutes, 16mm). MOUTH MUSIC opens
  with a series of brilliantly lit talking heads, accompanied by music,
  followed by an abstract series of images: a body builder, a woman, a
  painter at work, a couple arguing. Chris Knox TURNING BROWN AND TORN IN
  TWO (1983, 4 minutes, 16mm). Inspired by the strobe energy of Tony
  Conrad's THE FLICKER and the direct-to-film techniques of Len Lye, Knox
  mixes live-action, collage, stop-motion and animation to create films
  that double as music videos. Gregor Nicholas BODYSPEAK (1983, 10
  minutes, 16mm). BODYSPEAK juxtaposes elaborate dances from different
  cultures (a Samoan ceremonial dance, a drum dance from the Cook Islands,
  and a Tango). Fetus Productions FLICKER (1985, 4 minutes, 16mm).
  Emerging in the late 1970s, Fetus Productions traversed music, art,
  experimental film and fashion, and played a key role in the development
  of international Industrial Culture.

 A SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH TONY CONRAD
  Su 14.10.2007 // 18:00 A Sunday Afternoon with Tony Conrad organised by
  ARGOS (www.argosarts.org) and BOZAR Cinema (www.bozar.be) During the
  last film festival in Rotterdam, Tony Conrad electrocuted a film reel,
  which produced light flashes and sparks. He then developed the images in
  a bucket and screened them before a baffled and highly amused audience.
  Apart from lecturing at Buffalo University, New York, this filmmaker,
  video maker and musician is also a brilliant pedagogue with an inspiring
  sense of humour. This lecture is the perfect introduction to Tony
  Conrad's work, a trajectory through over forty years of radical
  creation.
