Chicago, Illinois: White Light Cinema
http://www.whitelightcinema.com
8:00pm, The Nightingale (1084 N. Milwaukee Ave.)

 THE SEARCH: NEW VIDEOS BY KYLE CANTERBURY
  For the past several years Kyle Canterbury has been quietly, in the
  shadows, creating a stunning body of work. His videos are among the
  richest expressions of cinema of the last several decades. His eye for
  color and texture, rhythm and composition, rival many of the masters of
  experimental film. But comparisons are facile - Canterbury is working
  different terrain. He is rooting to the primal essence of the video
  medium unlike anyone before. ***** In the last year or two, Canterbury
  has moved from a more formal exploration of video specificity to
  something less definable. His recent landscape works (for lack of a
  better description) are ineffable, hauntingly beautiful pieces that
  frequently operate at the margins of movement. Tiny, almost
  imperceptible, gestures create micro-rhythms and call for an actively
  engaged viewer. ***** Whether it is the Utah desert, a formal garden, or
  the screen of a window, Canterbury is not so much concerned with what we
  see as he is with how we see it. ***** Program: On the Ground (2008, 9
  min, video); The Search (2008, 19 min, video); From Fragments (2009, 6
  min, video); Screen (2009, 4 min, video); Chair (2009, 6 min, video);
  January (2009, 11 min, video); Gardens (2009, 24 sec, video); Utah
  (2009, 10 min, video); Garden (2009, 10 min, video). Program approx. 76
  minutes. Admission: $7.00-10.00 sliding scale.

  densely mysterious works. "Have you seen a falcon stoop / accurate,
  unforeseen / and absolute, between / wind-ripples over harvest? Dead /
  of what's to be, is and has been – / were we not better dead? / His
  wings churn air / to flight. / Feathers slight / with sun, he rises
  where / dazzle rebuts our stare, / wonder our fright." –Basil Bunting,
  "The Spoils" Total running time: ca. 90 minutes.

 HOLLIS FRAMPTON’S HAPAX LEGOMENA PT. 2
  Saturday, November 21 at 2pm Hapax Legomena Program 2 Introduced by
  Rebecca Sheehan, The University of Pennsylvania and Haverford College
  Hapax Legomena are, literally, 'things said once'. The scholarly jargon
  refers to those words that occur only a single time in the entire oeuvre
  of an author, or in a whole literature. – Hollis Frampton Hollis
  Frampton – photographer, theoretician, philosopher and, above all,
  filmmaker – is one of the towering figures of American avant-garde
  cinema. Possessed of a frighteningly prodigious and wide-ranging
  intellect, he was a voracious reader from childhood, and his films
  abound with evidence of his fascination with linguistics, science,
  mathematics and philosophy. Frampton was active as a filmmaker for only
  a decade-and-a-half (his career cut tragically short by his death from
  cancer in 1984). But in that brief time he created a breathtakingly
  ambitious body of work, whose range and inventiveness are unsurpassed.
  Frampton's seven-part Hapax Legomena is arguably his greatest completed
  achievement. While its various parts can each stand alone, together they
  form a complex and quasi-symphonic whole – an enigmatic structuralist
  'autobiography', a series of investigations into the possibilities of
  filmmaking, and a playful and dazzling encyclopedia of the cinema that
  is perhaps the closest thing avant-garde film has to Bach's
  "Well-Tempered Clavier". Puzzling, conceptually daring, and at times
  disarmingly comic, Hapax Legomena is one of the pinnacles of
  experimental film. Hapax Legomena was preserved through a major
  cooperative effort funded by the National Film Preservation Foundation
  and undertaken by the Museum of Modern Art, Anthology Film Archives, the
  New York University Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program and
  Bill Brand, professor in the NYU program and project conservator.
  Traveling Matte -Hapax Legomena IV dir. Hollis Frampton, US, 1971, 16mm,
  34 mins b/w, silent Traveling Matte is the pivot upon which the whole of
  Hapax Legomena turns. – Hollis Frampton This film metaphors an entire
  human life: birth, sex, death – the framing device is the fingers and
  palm of the maker's hand, wherein others only attempt to read the
  future. – Stan Brakhage Ordinary Matter - Hapax Legomena V dir. Hollis
  Frampton, US, 1972, 16mm, 36 mins, b/w A vision of a journey, during
  which the eye of the mind drives headlong through Salisbury Cloister (a
  monument to enclosure), Brooklyn Bridge (a monument to connection),
  Stonehenge (a monument to the intercourse between consciousness and
  LIGHT)… visiting along the way diverse meadows, barns, waters where I
  now live; and ending in the remembered cornfields of my childhood. –
  Hollis Frampton Remote Control - Hapax Legomena VI dir. Hollis Frampton,
  US, 1972, 16mm, 29 mins, b/w "[In Remote Control], the images speed up
  to the point where every successive frame is different from every
  previous frame, so that if there is an image in it, it's a kind of inner
  voice within the images, as sometimes music will have many voices that
  can be written out on the paper, and then in the listening the real
  shape of the music is to be found in the voice that is generated among
  them… It was shot in a single evening, off the tube, right off the
  ordinary TV set, in the course of an evening.– Hollis Frampton Special
  Effects - Hapax Legomena VII dir. Hollis Frampton, US, 1972, 16mm, 11
  mins, b/w I wanted to affirm and honor the film frame itself. Because so
  much of what we know now, so much of our experience is something that
  comes to us through that frame. It seems to be a kind of synonym for
  what we are conscious of. I have only seen the pyramids of Egypt within
  that frame. I have only seen – endless things – most of what I believe I
  have experienced I have in fact seen at the movies. I've seen it inside
  that frame. – Hollis Frampton Free admission IHouse members above
  Internationalist level; $5 Internationalists; $6 students + seniors; $8
  general admission. In advance at TICKETWEB or 1/2 hour before showtime
  at The Ibrahim Theater Box Office.

San Diego, California: Carousel Microcinema San Diego
http://carouselmicrocinema.wordpress.com/
7:00pm, 2031 El Cajon Blvd., San Diego, CA 92104

 CAROUSEL MICROCINEMA #1: TREE CLAPS HAND: GENTLE FILMS FOR TOUGH TIMES
  The inaugural program for Carousel Microcinema has been set. The videos
  and films in this program place the maker and the viewer in
  confrontation with the natural world. Each artist of course has their
  own peculiar approach towards the environments that receive their
  cameras. Some are elemental, wild, and natural. Others emphasize the
  clumsiness of human interventions upon the landscape. All of these
  films, I think, share a certain tension between wonderment and
  disassociation, romance and horror. These are generous, sensitive works
  for these crass drylongso days we're living through. The best thing
  about these pieces is that each artist knows when to step back and let
  nature take its course. I look forward to writing more about them as the
  screening date approaches. And I thank all of the film/videomakers for
  their generous participation. –CAULEEN SMITH

San Francisco, California: Other Cinema

8:30, 992 Valencia St.

 OTHER CINEMA: ALCATRAZ ANNIVERSARY
  A daring episode in San Francisco history that turned the country upside
  down: the occupation of Alcatraz Island by "Indians of All Tribes." In
  the opening half, shorts by Ohlone makers, first-ever viewing of slides
  from the Alcatraz Newsletter, and films about ancient villages, sacred
  sites, and endangered species. After intermission, director James
  Fortier introduces his inspirational Alcatraz Is Not an Island, a
  stirring record of the epochal event, told with sharp-spoken verse,
  superb cinematography, an incredible Native soundtrack, with major
  appearances by John Trudell, and Richard Oakes. PLUS poetic pieces by
  Ben Wood, Chris Kennedy, and Jesse Drew, representatives from the Int'l
  Treaty Council, and a display of rare period posters.

7:30 pm, San Francisco Art Institute -- 800 Chestnut (between Jones and Leavenworth)

 YVONNE RAINER: JOURNEYS FROM BERLIN/1971
  Yvonne Rainer in-person -- Uncertain Relations: Yvonne Rainer in
  Residence -- Presented in collaboration with the San Francisco Art
  Institute Graduate Division, Spheres of Interest: Experiments in
  Thinking & Action, the graduate lecture series, directed by Renée Green,
  Dean of Graduate Studies. -- [members: $5 / non-members: $10 / SFAI
  students & faculty: free] ----- The films of Yvonne Rainer confront the
  personal implications of social and political issues with a keen wit,
  inventive sensibility and uncompromising voice. Interweaving narrative
  and non-narrative elements while challenging expectations of fact and
  fiction, Rainer deconstructs cinematic conventions and creates
  subversive filmic explorations that further the immediacy, corporeality
  and emotional complexity of her dance and performance work. "Journeys
  from Berlin/1971", Rainer's fourth feature, is a groundbreaking
  exploration of the personal and political realms of psychiatry,
  feminism, terrorism and power. Annette Michelson's psychoanalytic
  sessions provide the framework for theoretical and visual
  deconstructions -- and a new filmic choreography.

San Francisco, California: Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
http://www.ybca.org/tickets/production/view.aspx?id=9666
2-4pm, 701 Mission Street

 TROPICAL VULTURE: YBCALIVE! GEORGE KUCHAR & MIGUEL CALDERON
  Tropical Vulture is a cross-generational project which highlights the
  artistic influences between Bay Area artist George Kuchar, a Bay Area
  legend of independent filmmaking, and Mexican artist Miguel
  Calderón. The exhibition features an experimental narrative video
  titled Conversations with a Tropical Vulture. The exhibition features a
  preview of the feature length film Conversations with a Tropical Vulture
  which will premiere at YBCA in the Fall of 2010. The film, scripted by
  both artists with Calderón as the director and Kuchar in the role
  of lead actor, blends Hollywood glamour and drama with an all too
  real-life approach, which creates and inspires a counterpoint of
  unattainable desire against unbearable actuality. Shot on location in
  Acapulco, the film utilizes a "low-fi" aesthetic and playful use of
  non-professional actors. Photographs and sculptures related to this
  commissioned project and earlier videos made by each artist will also be
  on view including the US premiere of Calderón's latest video Best
  Seller and the world premiere of Kuchar's Burrito Bay, a video diary
  about the making of Tropical Vulture. While the artists are in residence
  at YBCA, a series of artist talks are planned, moderated by both
  Calderón and Kuchar, with Bay Area video and filmmakers. All
  events free with gallery admission. Nov. 21: Sam Green Lecture, Gallery
  3. As part of Miguel Caldéron and George Kuchar's Tropical Vulture
  lecture series, join Academy Award nominated film maker Sam Green as he
  lectures and performs several personal key moments—based in film and
  visual and performance art that relate to influences within his own film
  practice.

New York, New York: Performa09, White Box and The Thing
6pm, White Box,

 BLACK ZERO
  by Aldo Tambellini and Group Center (1965/1968) featuring Aldo
  Tambellini (projections), William Parker (music), Ben Morea (noise
  machine), Maggie Clapis and the voice of Calvin C. Hernton (poet).
  Organized and curated by Christoph Draeger, 2009. The critically
  acclaimed "Black Zero" (1965-68) by Aldo Tambellini was one of the very
  first multimedia performances. It will be re-staged in its original form
  by the artist who created it, Aldo Tambellini. We are very pleased to
  announce that the music for the piece will be improvised live by William
  Parker (double bass), whom the Allmusic Guide calls Free Jazz's
  pre-eminent bass player today. Aldo Tambellini wrote this synopsis for
  "Black Zero" in 1965: "At present, BLACK ZERO keeps on changing and
  growing with each presentation, just like the BLACK balloon which
  appears in the performance agonizingly grows, expands and disappears. In
  BLACK ZERO, you'll be inside of the black womb of the Space Era. And in
  that womb, the Black UMBRA poet, Calvin C. Hernton, the famous
  African-American poet will read his poems. The plastic gas-masked figure
  floats like an astronaut under the expanding simultaneous motion of the
  stars. The television monitors pulsate in their insane cosmic dance. One
  day the light and the energy of the sun will become ice cold and the
  enormous sun disc will become BLACK."

 CLAIR/PICABIA/BUNUEL PROGRAM
  René Clair and Francis Picabia ENTR'ACTE (1924, 22 minutes, 35mm) A
  masterpiece of Dada and a feat of cinema magic. Made as intermission
  entertainment for the Ballet Suédois from an impromptu scene by Francis
  Picabia. Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí UN CHIEN ANDALOU (1928, 22
  minutes, 35mm) Twenty-two minutes of pure, scandalous dream-imagery, a
  stream of images from which anything that could be given a rational
  meaning was rigorously excluded. It's still the unsurpassed masterpiece
  of the surrealist cinema. Luis Buñuel LAND WITHOUT BREAD / LAS HURDES:
  TIERRA SIN PAN (1932, 28 minutes, 35mm. With English narration.) "A
  documentary describing, matter-of-factly, a region of Spain so ravaged
  by epidemic poverty that there our worst fantasies find their objective
  correlative." –Raymond Durgnat Total running time: ca. 75 minutes. .

Rotterdam, the Netherlands: SIR Cinema
http://www.sculptureinternationalrotterdam.nl
ongoing, Coolsingel 47

 'CHANGES IN THE CONTEMPORARY CITY'
  The programme includes works by Pawel Althamer, Pia Rőnicke, Esra
  Ersen, Heidrun Holzfield and Manon de Boer. Curator of the film
  programme: Jos van der Pol (artist , advisor SIR) in cooperation with
  SIR. Opening hours: Tuesday � Friday: 17:00 � 20:00 /
  Saturday and Sunday:ay: 12:00 � 18:00 Pawel Althamer, Brodnoo
  2000, 2000 Video 5,52 minutes Brodno 2000 shows an event that actively
  involved the local community in the artists' work, by requiring the
  collaboration of the residents of the block of flats where he lives. The
  result was a huge sign '2000' made out of windows lit up in the
  appropriate order. Pia Rőnicke: Urban Fiction, 2003, 16 minutes
  Urban Fiction transports us into a hypothetical world of architectural
  discussion, which we have to imagine as an exchange of ideological
  statements between Le Corbusier and Constant. The master and the pupil.
  The purist and the humanist. Hard-core utopia and cutting-edge vision.
  Iconic beauty and the beauty of social intercourse. Pia Rőnicke,
  Outside the Living Room, 2000, 8 minutes Pia Rőnicke takes on the
  role of the poetic urban planner to create a fictional vision of
  reconciliation between nature and urbanism. Set to an emotive
  soundtrack, the viewer takes a dream like journey through various
  animated landscapes to encounter fictional and recognisable urban
  cityscapes reconstructed to feature nature as the dominant force;
  Manhattan skyscrapers are surrounded by dense forests, and Mies van der
  Rohe's Lake Shore Drive Apartments are topped with rice fields. Esra
  Ersen, Perfect/Growing Older (dis)gracefully, 2006, 22 minutes Ersen has
  been struck by the radical transformation currently taking place in
  Liverpool and the impact upon its inhabitants. Regeneration promises a
  new identity for the city in the run-up to being European Capital of
  Culture. Acting as a kind of urban planner, transferring her methods
  from city to person, Ersen has performed a makeover on a long-standing
  resident of Liverpool. Is it only the facade of a city that is
  transformed, and does the inner core remain the same, just like in a
  make-over? Heidrun Holzfeind, Corviale -II Serpento, 2001, 34 minutes
  Corviale � II Serpento shows the contrast between the reality of
  everyday life and the promises of modernist structures for a society.
  The film focuses on the 9,500 inhabitants of Corviale, Rome, a 1-km long
  housing complex, commissioned in 1972 by the Institute for Social
  Housing to provide much-needed housing for the working class. Never
  finished, the village is based on Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation of
  Marseilles. Manon de Boer, Resonating Surface, 2005, 38 minutes
  Resonating Surfaces is triptych of a city, a woman and a lifestyle. This
  is the personal story of Rolnik, a Brazilian psychoanalyst currently
  living in São Paulo, and encompasses the Brazilian dictatorship of the
  sixties as well as the Parisian intellectual climate surrounding Deleuze
  and Guattari in the seventies.

  Residence -- Presented in collaboration with the San Francisco Art
  Institute Graduate Division, Spheres of Interest: Experiments in
  Thinking & Action, the graduate lecture series, directed by Renée Green,

  students & faculty: free] ----- "Who else could spin hot flashes, Lenny
  Bruce, Carmen Miranda and [Eldridge Cleaver's] Soul on Ice into such a
  pungent brew?" (The Village Voice) ----- In "Privilege", Rainer takes on
  the rarely explored subject of menopause and constructs a fascinating,
  witty and complex social critique of empowerment and class while delving
  into issues of age, sexuality and race. Rainer plays with narrative
  conventions and simultaneously disrupts notions of continuity and
  identity, weaving the emotional and fictive realms of melodrama,
  documentary, text and archival imagery into a richly textured and
  compelling work.

 STEPHANIE MAXWELL VISUAL MUSIC
  DIRECTOR IN ATTENDANCE Co-Presented by Third Eye Cinema Stephanie
  Maxwell Visual Music Stephanie Maxwell specializes in hand-painted
  experimental abstract animation. After performing a variety of painting,
  marking and engraving techniques directly onto 35mm film stock, Maxwell
  re-photographs each frame of the film using a digital feed camera and
  digital frame capture, sometimes employing additional manipulations such
  as bending and twisting the film, layering film frames together, and
  progressive alterations of the image during the frame by frame
  re-photography. This screening will feature selections from Maxwell's
  work from 1984 through her two newest works from 2008, as well as a
  twelve-minute short documentary about Maxwell's filmmaking process, with
  footage of the artist at work. www.nwfilmforum.org

 LA CALLE - LA HABITACION; URBAN RESEARCH SELECTION
  La Calle – la Habitación -*°*- (The Street – the Habitat) -*°*- Urban
  Research at Kommunales Kino Freiburg -*°*- The film program Urban
  Research comprises works of artists who explore urbanity in contemporary
  cities with experimental means. In recent times, a growing number of
  contemporary artists have come forward with personal and challenging
  views onto the changing urban environment. This selection of films
  brings together films from the realm of Latin lingua, mainly Latin
  America but also Portugal, Chicago and a Latin enclave in Vienna. The
  artists' views reflect daily life and they "deturn" or shift perceptions
  towards the less ordinary. Some settings appear more common than
  expected – in certain ways, urban life has become internationally
  similar and the artists request the audience to read subtleties and
  notes in between lines. -*°*- In a report on the Red Cross in Mexico
  City, the daily ambiguities between the middle class perspectives of Red
  Cross operation volunteers, and the clean world of modern medicine on
  one hand, and poverty and violence eruptions in the street on the other,
  make visible the contradictions of the fragmented urban geography. Or,
  the wildly growing building extensions of social housing projects, too
  small in their layouts, aren't just adoringly depicted as informal
  architecture but shown in all the contradictions between anarchy,
  self-organization, daily life, internal conflicts and legal
  insecurities. In other films, the gaze at windows of the neighborhood or
  watching random encounters on the street reflect daily life and private
  escapes; and the random encounters with abandoned magnetic tapes on the
  street, or with the "spirit" of "super barrio" attempt to link pop
  culture with the reality of vernacular life. One film asks "where is
  Macondo" and finds that place not just in Gabriel Garcia Marquez'
  imagination but in a barrio of Vienna (Austria) and in Avacataca
  (Columbia). -*°*- Klaus W. Eisenlohr, artist and filmmaker in Berlin
  received several grants such as "Cast & Cut" in Hannover 2004 and HIAP,
  Helsinki 2006, and he organizes screenings and the Urban Research
  program with Directors Lounge since 2005. Urban Research has been shown
  internationally at cinemas in St. Petersburg, London, Freiburg,
  Hannover, Berlin and Dordrecht. This program was selected and edited
  with the support of Verena Grimm (Berlin/ Mexiko Stadt) and Fernando
  Llanos (Mexiko). -*°*- | Tuesday 24 Nov, 19:30, presented by Klaus W.

 SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM: TAKE ONE
  Symbiopsychotaxiplasm:Take One (1968, 70 min.) by WILLIAN GREAVES "In
  1968, there were at best a handful of African-American directors working
  in television and no African-Americans directing feature films. For an
  African-American director to make a feature film, let alone one as
  experimental as a film by Warhol or Godard, could not have been imagined
  if Greaves hadn't gone out and done it…. On-screen the director
  (Greaves) outlines the responsibilities of the crew. The film is being
  shot by three 16mm cameras, each equipped with a zoom lens and a
  magazine that holds eleven minutes of film, and all three synced, in the
  clumsy technology of the day, to reel-to-reel sound recorders. One
  cameraman, Greaves instructs, is to focus solely on the actors playing
  the scene; another cameraman is to film the crew that is shooting the
  scene; and the third is to include the actors and the crew, as well as
  onlookers and anything interesting that's happening in the park.
  (Sometimes Greaves himself wields a fourth camera.) ….
  Symbiopsychotaxiplasm Take One invites endless speculation both from the
  audience and from everyone on the screen….. Thanks to Greaves's lively,
  innovative editing (involving some of the most surprising contrapuntal
  double and triple split-screen images in the history of movies), the
  film has the polyrhythmic elegance of its Miles Davis score. More than
  mere background music, the score is the abstract model for the film's
  improvisations on a theme and also an expressive element in its own
  right."- Amy Taubin

  CINEMATHEQUE SALON: CINEMATHEQUE SING ALONG
  [members: free / non-members: $10] ----- To dispel the disparaging and
  misguided claims that experimental work is little more than a territory
  for tedious academic pursuits, this edition of the Cinematheque Salon
  proves once-and-for-all that the avant-garde knows the importance of
  whimsy. Anyone familiar with the films of Robert Nelson, Martha Colburn,
  Morgan Fisher, Lawrence Jordan, Peggy Ahwesh, William T. Wiley and
  others (including the fellow we'll be presenting one week later) knows
  that humor is an integral element of many experimental works.
  Cinematheque relocates the (un)usual action to one of the organization's
  favorite watering holes and devotes this special program to the most
  maligned of motion picture forms -- the karaoke video. Peripheral
  Produce's PDX Film Festival and the Northwest Film Forum's Karaoke
  Challenge have long championed these peculiar mini-masterpieces,
  annually commissioning new works for their nefarious purposes. The
  Cinematheque Sing Along will include pieces from these aforementioned
  events as well as the premiere of several to-be-announced videos at this
  one-time-only screening. Featuring videos by Bryan Boyce, Michael
  Robinson, Kelly Sears, Mary Elizabeth Yarborough and many, many others.

 CRONICA D'UNA MIRADA: CLANDESTINE FILMMAKING IN FRANCO'S SPAIN, 1960 –
 1975 PART II: NOTES ON EMIGRATION
  Cronica D'una Mirada: Clandestine Filmmaking in Franco's Spain, 1960 –
  1975 Co-presented by the Department of Hispanic Studies and the Cinema
  Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania This six-part
  documentary series focuses on a generation of independent filmmakers
  whose innate unwillingness to conform required them to produce,
  distribute and exhibit radical films during Francisco Franco's regime.
  Shooting under the pretense of amateur filmmaking, they hid within
  crowds of protesters, producing works that were often highly creative
  and even experimental. In order to protect the identities of its
  participants, many of these films had no credits. While this body of
  work represents a margin of Spanish film history, it nevertheless
  contains some of the most crucial, first-hand documents of the end of
  the dictatorship, revealing problems of housing and social services,
  immigration, the fate of political prisoners and restrictions on
  expression and free speech. These films explore an era that fought for
  freedom through cinema. Curated by Marta Sanchez and Manuel Barrios.
  Special thanks to Bryan Cameron and Anna Cox of the Department of
  Hispanic Studies at the University Of Pennsylvania and Charlotte Nitta
  Cargni. And to Michael Solomon and Toni Esposito of the Department of
  Romance Languages at Penn, for their extraordinary efforts in subtitling
  the short films contained in the Cronica series. Wednesday, November 25
  at 7pm Part II: Notes on Emigration dir. Manuel Barrios, Spain, 2004,
  DVD, 44 mins, color & b/w, Spanish w/ English subtitles The motion
  picture camera ceased to be innocent as more and more disquieting images
  were captured through its lens, such as the river of people that where
  ejected out of the train onto Franca station in Barcelona. These were
  people trying to leave the poverty of the countryside behind but instead
  ended up in city slums. Within Franco's regime, this was viewed merely
  as the price of progress. For filmmakers at this point, it was not just
  about trying to make the spectator think or be surprised by a curious
  image, but about trying to mobilize people to stand up against
  authority. followed by No se Admite Personal (Plaza de Urquinaona) dir.
  Antoni Lucchetti, Spain, 1968, DVD, 15 mins, b/w, Spanish w/ English
  subtitles Spain's rural population rose in the earliest hours to board
  buses for the center of Barcelona where they waited for unscrupulous
  employers to find them as cheap labor, without contracts, agreements or
  social security. Field for Men (El Campo para el Hombre) dir. Helena
  Lumbreras and Maria Lisa, Spain, DVD, 1974, 49 mins, b/w, Spanish w/
  English subtitles Featuring two extremes of agricultural property in the
  Galician and Andalusia regions and clearly critical of the living
  conditions of the farmers, the film represents the work of the only
  women directors making these clandestine movies. 52 Sundays (52
  Domingos) dir. Llorenc Soler, Spain, 1967, DVD, 27 mins, b/w, Spanish w/
  English subtitles With breathtaking expressiveness, eloquence and raw
  and honest testimony about the world of bullfighting, this work
  chronicles the misadventures of young people seeking better lives by
  becoming matadors, the only way to break free of their social stratum.
  52 Sundays is considered among the best films of the world of
  bullfighting. Free admission members above Internationalist level; $5
  Internationalists; $6 students + seniors; $8 general admission. In
  advance at TICKETWEB or 1/2 hour before showtime at The Ibrahim Theater
  Box Office.

 ALTERED STATES
  With the digital invading every creative enterprise and form of
  expression, pencils have become pixels, dreams have turned into data.
  While cinema's obsession with the "holy grail" of photorealism has
  generated a blizzard of visual extravaganzas aimed at a suspension of
  the distinction between representation and simulation, a generation of
  DIY bricoleurs use ubiquitious "tools of vizuality" (Kevin Kelly) to
  explore alternative viewings and readings of the familiar. Through
  processes of transference, translation and combination, they encode,
  reveal or impose layers of information and deceive expectations about
  visibility and availability. Poking the surfaces of various images,
  sounds and symbols, their renderings create poetic, playful and often
  melancholic environments that are both alien and familiar, questioning
  our relation to images and our imagination. Screening video works by
  Stephen Gray, Joseph Ernst, Chirstinn Whyte & Jake Messenger, Oliver
  Laric, Max Hattler, David O'Reilly, Michael Robinson, Dave Griffiths,
  Jonathon Kirk, Dietmar Offenhuber, Rebecca Baron & Doug Goodwin, Nicolas

  is a sequence of moral and surrealist aesthetics. The sexual instinct
