New York: Anthology Film Archives

3:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

THE FEATURE
  by Michel Auder & Andrew Neel 2008, 177 minutes, video. Special thanks
  to Michel Auder, Andrew Neel, Ethan Palmer (SeeThink Productions), and
  Marisa Newman. SPECIAL ENCORE SCREENINGS! Michel Auder's epic film is a
  summation of his half-century-long career as a video artist and diarist.
  In 15-hour diaries, 2-hour neo-narratives, and 1-minute haikus, Auder
  has created a body of work that is wholly unique in the history of the
  moving image. With the archive of footage Auder has amassed over the
  decades providing much of the source material, alongside new scenes shot
  by co-director Andrew Neel (the grandson of painter Alice Neel), THE
  FEATURE represents a self-conscious and quasi-fictional variation on the
  story of Auder's life. "In Auder's case, the truth is certainly stranger
  than fiction. One of the first to compulsively exploit the diaristic
  potential of the Sony Portapak, he was right there at the heart of the
  Warhol Factory and the Soho art explosion. … Taking in his marriages to
  both Viva and Cindy Sherman, and affiliations with Larry Rivers, the
  Zanzibar group, and the downtown art scene, this is necessarily a tale
  of epic proportions, chronicling an amazing journey through art and life
  while providing access to a wealth of fascinating personal footage."
  –Mark Webber "Opens [Auder's] world to a new audience, his aesthetic to
  a more conventional form, and his achievement to the wider recognition
  it deserves. It's a beautiful, beguiling movie. … While indebted, like
  all his videos, to Warhol's let-the-camera-roll aesthetic, THE FEATURE
  is closer in tone to the limpid diary films of Jonas Mekas and the
  plangent memoir-poems of the filmmaker Philippe Garrel…. His voice,
  however, is eminently his own: charismatic yet self-effacing,
  tenderhearted but compelled by uncontrollable appetites (for sex,
  heroin, and subjects for the camera)." –Nathan Lee, NEW YORK TIMES This
  revival of THE FEATURE has been scheduled to coincide with concurrent
  gallery exhibitions devoted to Michel Auder's work taking place
  throughout the summer at Zach Feuer Gallery, Participant Inc., and
  Newman Popiashvili; for more info visit, www.zachfeuer.com,

RICHARD MYERS: DEATHSTYLES
  Richard Myers in person! Ohio-based and truly independent, filmmaker
  Richard Myers works in bold modes, creating works imbued with true
  experimental goals and methods, observing and commenting with restless
  ingenuity on his world, political and personal. Filmforum has hosted him
  with several of his feature films through the years, since the 1980s,
  and we're delighted to host him again as the third night of a visit of
  Myers to the Southland, along with shows at Newtown and the Panorama.
  The other nights and Filmforum's show will give audiences to see a wide
  array of Myers's films, from observational documentary to heated
  scatological response to the political violence of the 1970s.
