 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC
  by Carl Th. DreyerCarl Th. Dreyer 1927-28, 98 minutes, 35mm, b&w,
  silent. No English intertitles; English synopsis available. A work that
  exemplifies Dreyer's philosophy: simplicity is the most complex idea of
  all. Although renowned for its spare acts, lack of embellishment, and
  use of simple shots, Dreyer's masterpiece reveals the natural complexity
  of an un-retouched face (often existing alone, filling up the frame) and
  a landscape of history as individual as the lines on that face. Made in
  1927-28, it continues to haunt the cinema, looking more and more
  avant-garde as the years go by.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: VAMPYR
  by Carl Th. Dreyer 1931-32, 70 minutes, 35mm, b&w. In Danish with no
  subtitles; English synopsis available. "Imagine that we are sitting in a
  very ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse behind
  the door. Instantly, the room we are sitting in has taken on another
  look. The light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are physically
  the same. This is because we have changed and the objects are as we
  conceive them. This is the effect I wanted to produce in VAMPYR." –Carl
  Dreyer

7:30 pm, Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Blvd. at Las Palmas

 LOS ANGELES FILMFORUM PRESENTS JOURNEYS FROM BERLIN/1971 WITH YVONNE
 RAINER IN PERSON
  Part 4 (of 8) of Bodies, Objects, Films: An Yvonne Rainer Retrospective
  Over the course of our 2009-2010 seasons, Filmforum is proud to present
  a full retrospective of the media works of Yvonne Rainer. One of the
  most significant artists in dance and film of the last fifty years, this
  is the first full retrospective of her films in Los Angeles. Each
  appearance by Rainer will feature a Q&A led by a different moderator, to
  discuss with her varying aspects of her approaches to her art and life.
  We'll start with her earliest and latest works, all connected to various
  performances. Tonight's Q&A will be led by Simon Leung, artist and
  professor at UC Irvine. Admission $10 general, $6 students/seniors, free
  for Filmforum members Advance ticket purchase available through Brown
  Paper Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/94169 To explore
  the ramifications of terrorism, Rainer employs an extended therapy
  session--in which an American woman speaks to a series of
  psychiatrists--to evoke the daily experiences of power and repression.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: DAY OF WRATH
  by Carl Th. Dreyer 1943, 100 minutes, 35mm, b&w. In Danish with no
  subtitles; English synopsis available. "Carl Dreyer's art begins to
  unfold at the point where most other directors give up. Witchcraft and
  martyrdom are his themes – but his witches don't ride broomsticks, they
  ride the erotic fears of their persecutors. It is a world that suggests
  a dreadful fusion of Hawthorne and Kafka." –Pauline Kael

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: ORDET
  by Carl Th. Dreyer 1955, 132 minutes, 35mm, b&w. In Danish with no
  subtitles; English synopsis available. An existential morality essay by
  the master of the long take, in which a man who believes he is Jesus
  Christ soon begins to convince those around him. Based on the play by
  Kaj Munk, ORDET is a meditation on faith and fanaticism.

8 pm, 992 Valencia

 DEEP LEAP MICROCINEMA - SACRED GEOMETRIES
  DEEP LEAP MICROCINEMA is a Portland-based monthly art event devoted to
  pairing thematically curated video art, experimental film and new media
  works from around the globe with specially commissioned performance.
  This program focuses on *Sacred Geometries*. Expect mesmerizing shapes,
  critical engagement with the seductive ideas of Sacred Geometry and slow
  burn brain melts. Sacred Geometry is, in its essence, the recognition of
  the geometric/mathematical order and patterns through which the material
  world is ordered and constructed. Math is nature, patterns produce order
  and a sense of the sacred is imbued in everything. This most seductive
  of notions--that our insides and the insides of all natural, material
  things are composed of the same simple shapes, the same enrapturing
  patterns--is as old as recorded history as is its use by artists as a
  mode of expressing inter-connectivity and divinity. This program
  attempts to parse the ways in which these ideas are carried forth into
  the digital age; how contemporary makers and thinkers treat
  aesthetic/spiritual philosophies of such global, historical and simple
  contexts. Sabine Gruffat, Jade Ajani, David Smith, Dustin Zemel, Clint
  Enns, Leslie Supnet, Jen Stark, Jesse Malmed, more, more, more, more,

 NASHASHIBI/SKAER PROGRAM
  Post-screening discussion with filmmakers! Nashashibi/Skaer is an
  ongoing collaboration between British artists Rosalind Nashashibi and
  Lucy Skaer. Beginning with an interest in each other's individual work
  and a shared sense of experimentation, their first 16mm film, AMBASSADOR
  (2005), plays with the rules of ethnographic framing, exploring the aura
  of a representative figure, the British Consul General to Hong Kong, in
  the quotidian context of his apartment. FLASH IN THE METROPOLITAN
  (2006), filmed after dark in New York's Metropolitan Museum, reveals a
  sporadic illumination of various exhibits, offering a dislocated,
  non-indexical visitation to the museum's holdings. And OUR MAGNOLIA
  (2009), their latest film, takes Paul Nash's 1944 wartime painting
  'Flight of the Magnolia' as inspiration for a consideration of British
  history, public persona, and the role of sculpture as an effaced and
  often fictional artifact.

Brooklyn, New York: Light Industry
http://www.lightindustry.org/
7:30pm, 220 36th Street, 5th Floor

 OBEDIENCE
  Introduced by Zoe Beloff. Obedience, Stanley Milgram, 16mm, 1962, 45
  mins. Folie à Deux, National Film Board of Canada, 16mm, 1952, 15 mins.
  Motion Studies Application, 16mm, ca. 1950, 15 mins. Obedience documents
  the infamous "Milgram experiment" conducted at Yale University in 1962,
  created to evaluate an everyday person's deference to authority within
  institutional structures. Psychologist Stanley Milgram designed a
  scenario in which individuals were made to think they were administering
  electric shocks to an unseen subject, with a researcher asking them to
  increase the voltage levels despite the loud cries of pain that seemed
  to come from the other room. Taking place mere months after Adolf
  Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem, Milgram saw his test as a way to
  understand the environments that made genocide possible. Tonight, artist
  Zoe Beloff pairs Obedience with two earlier works dealing with
  psycho-social control: Folie à Deux and Motion Studies Application. The
  former, one of a series of films on various psychological maladies
  produced by the National Film Board of Canada in the 1950s, presents an
  interview with a young woman and her immigrant mother afflicted by
  shared delusions that manifest when the two are together. The latter is
  an industrial film purporting to present ways to increase efficiency in
  the workplace: explaining, for instance, a means to fold cardboard boxes
  more quickly. In stark contrast to the nostalgic whimsy typically
  associated with old educational films, Folie à Deux and Motion Studies
  Application play as infernal dreams of systemic power and sources of
  intense, unintended pathos. "The concept of 'motion studies' is central
  to cinema itself. Without the desire to analyze human motion, there
  would be no cinematic apparatus. But the history of motion studies is
  freighted with ideology. Its inventor Étienne-Jules Marey was paid by
  the French Government to figure out the most efficient method for
  soldiers to march, while his protégé Albert Londe analyzed the gait of
  hysterical patients. From the beginning, the productive body promoted by
  Taylorism was always shadowed by its double, the body riven by psychic
  breakdown. We see this in Motion Studies Application and especially
  Folie à Deux, where unproductive patients, confined to the asylum,
  understand with paranoid lucidity that the institution is everywhere,
  monitoring them always. Obedience stands as a conscious critique of
  these earlier industrial films, co-opting their form only to subvert
  them and reveal their fascist underpinnings." - ZB

7:30pm, The Art Bar, Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen St West

 #11 = 1/19/10 = JAMES BENNING + NICKY HAMLYN
  A transitional film at the end of his first decade of filmmaking, James
  Benning's GRAND OPERA introduces a degree of storytelling to his
  previously more formalist devices. Benning calls the film his "first
  attempt at writing my own kind of history" and, in a sense, it also
  serves to write himself into history, acutely measuring his place as a
  Midwestern experimental filmmaker, then based in Oklahoma, in
  relationship to the avant-garde scene situated in New York. The film
  thus features homages to the prominent experimental cinema of the time,
  including a spoof of Wavelength, as well as cameos from Michael Snow,
  Hollis Frampton and Yvonne Rainer. Woven with these sequences are other
  characteristic Benning gambits – a compilation of every house he ever
  lived in, a preoccupation with the history of Pi, and the looming threat
  that a building will explode. Programme: GRAND OPERA: A HISTORICAL
  ROMANCE, 16mm, 1979, USA, 84 mins, colour Film by James Benning
  featuring Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton, George Landow, Sadie Benning
  and Yvonne Rainer. Screened with: POLES APART, Nicky Hamlyn, Regular

 CIRCLES OF CONFUSION: A HOLLIS FRAMPTON FILM RETROSPECTIVE PART 1
  Los Angeles Filmforum and Khastoo Gallery are delighted to present
  CIRCLES OF CONFUSION, a five-screening series of films by Hollis
  Frampton, from January 21 to February 7, 2010, with guest scholars and
  artists at each program to discuss his works and their influence on
  later artists. Hollis Frampton (1936-1984) was an American filmmaker,
  artist and writer who left a legacy of brilliant innovation in
  avant-garde cinema. His films were challenging and ground breaking
  explorations in the material properties of the medium, including but not
  limited to mathematics, the contours of perception and cognition, and
  the phenomenological nature of the motion picture. (323) 472-6498;

 HÄXAN WITH A LIVE NEW SCORE BY DR. PRISONER: THE BRAIN!
  HÄXAN with a live new score by DR. PRISONER: THE BRAIN! Forget Murnau.
  Forget Griffith. The greatest repository of images in all of silent film
  is surely Benjamin Christensen's magnificent, loony HÄXAN, also known as
  WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES. Featuring crazed nuns, flaming witches, and
  a spectacularly obscene performance by the director himself as Satan,
  HÄXAN is like no other film ever made: an uncontrolled rampage of
  feverish, violent images, part historical recreation, part religious
  satire, all hallucination. Artists Television Access is proud to present
  HÄXAN in a newly butchered version, prepared especially for this
  screening by conceptual artist Dr. Astronaut Body. Now missing over half
  an hour of crucial footage and structurally reorganized for maximum
  impact, HÄXAN will be accompanied by a new score performed live by the
  San Francisco electronica band DR. PRISONER: THE BRAIN! Including
  members of The Pine Box Boys and Reagan's Polyp, DR. PRISONER: THE
  BRAIN! is part of the same creative team that has premiered new scores
  for THE MAN WITH THE MOVIE CAMERA, NOSFERATU, THE CABINET OF DR.
  CALIGARI, THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC, THE MAN WHO LAUGHS, KOYAANISQATSI,
  and the Led Zeppelin film THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME, all at Artists
  Television Access.

  the locations of various breakups to an homage to composer Philip Glass
  and a confessional letter from an HIV-positive man to Madonna. Winner
  for Best Experimental, Santa Cruz Festival, 2004; Best Director,
  Pyongyang Festival, Korea, 2004; and Best Documentary, Festival du
  Nouveau Cinema, Montreal, 2004. At 7pm please join us for the re-launch
