12/11
New York, New York: Millennium Film Workshop
http://www.millenniumfilm.org/
8pm, Admission $8 / $6 members, 66 East 4th Street

 PERSONAL CINEMA SERIES: JOEY HUERTAS
  Joey Huertas' films consist of personal revelatory confessions recorded
  by unconventional means (surveillance equipment, microfilm, archives,
  journals, and toys) and read much like the entries found in a hidden
  personal diary. The films take many forms, including physical stories
  arranged by peculiar/imagined biographies, collections of found
  photographs, drawings and compositions from text journals. The filmmaker
  is also a clinical social worker.------------PROGRAM: ...IN THE UPPER
  ROOM (5 min.) "A film that uses propaganda techniques established by the
  Institute of Propaganda Analysis to deliver a faux true-crime narrative
  based on the terrifying reality of hate-group organizations." -J.H.---
  GIRLSTORIES CASE-STUDY FILM TRILOGY: MISSING GREEN (10 min.), NICE
  PEOPLE (26 min.) and HOMEWRECKA (32 min.) "Explicit in emotional subject
  matter, the films reveal a diversity of problems adolecsent females have
  in society when faced with misunderstood mental health issues. Clinical
  depression, body image disorders and battered syndrome are study points
  visited by the filmmaker."- J.H.

6:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

 LOU CASTEL PROGRAM 5
  Lou Castel CONVERGENCES 2005, 35 minutes, video. Throughout a single
  day, apparently parallel actions lead us by accident to the same place,
  time, image. The diagonally-divided screen slowly recomposes, the two
  possible tracks of the same day lived by the same person (or perhaps
  two?) finally converge as in a cul-de-sac. & Lou Castel REVOYANT 2005,
  87 minutes, video. To re-watch: first of all, for yourself. Images from
  the past, shot and left aside, all gathered on the same screen, the same
  surface, each of them telling a different story. Is it possible to
  rediscover them, to let them be part of your present again? This video
  is one of the few examples of multi-screen cinema that lets the screens
  'dialogue' with each other. Total running time: ca. 125 minutes.

 TED NEMETH/MARY ELLEN BUTE PROGRAM 2
  On Saturday, this program will be introduced by Michael Kerbel, Director
  of the Yale University Film Study Center, and on Sunday by a Yale
  faculty member or guest speaker TBD. THE BOY WHO SAW THROUGH (1956, 23
  minutes, 35mm) Directed by legendary documentary filmmaker George Stoney
  (ALL MY BABIES), this film was Bute's first endeavor producing live
  action. Ted Nemeth was executive producer and director of photography.
  Based on a short story and set in Victorian New York, the film stars
  13-year-old Ronnie (Christopher) Walken. The film was restored at
  Cineric Inc., with funding from a NFPF Basic Grant. TIME PIECE (1965, 9
  minutes, 35mm. Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive.) Jim Henson
  runs, jumps, and flies in this Oscar-nominated Live Action Short Subject
  film that uses most of Ted Nemeth's clever cinematography and special
  effects. RAMA (1970, 16 minutes, 16mm. Print courtesy of the
  Film-Makers' Cooperative.) A cinematic tone poem about a mythological
  sea goddess. Special filters were developed by cinematographer Nemeth to
  create the look of a watercolor painting. Sugar Cain stars and recites
  her lyrical musings. OUT OF THE CRADLE, ENDLESSLY ROCKING: PASSAGES FROM
  THE ODYSSEY OF WALT WHITMAN (1980-83, 15 minutes, 16mm) Principal
  photography had been completed and completion funds were being sought at
  the time of Bute's death in 1983. Never-before-seen, these excerpts are
  presented as a fitting tribute to the filmmakers' collaborative legacy.
  Total running time: ca. 70 minutes.

8:00pm, Artists' Television Access, 992 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94110

 ELISE BALDWIN + VANESSA O’NEILL + THOMAS CARNACKI +
  Let the dead speak! Programmed by Christine Metropoulos, the fifth
  vignette in our Dead Media suite offers a night of innovation through
  excavation, repurposing, and reanimation. We begin with a nod to
  pre-cinema as Thomas Carnacki (Greg Scharpen and cohorts) intones its
  miscellanea and machines amidst a shadow-puppet theater, to invoke a
  decidedly visual symphony. We enter the realm of cinema, as
  hand-processing maven Vanessa O'Neill re-registers the projection
  experience with her multiple-16mm paean of layered and reworked film, to
  live sound by Kent Long. And we extend beyond cinema, as Elise Baldwin
  conjures a Chimera, from her series of turntable performances
  incorporating miniature dioramas on vinyl, live video, sound, lighting,
  and archival imagery. Arrive at 8pm for divinatory drink specials and
  other delicious atrocities! $7.

  Lou Castel OUR TONGUES ARE MOVING 2001, 80 minutes, video. With Castel,
  Carolina Contreras, Nadine Naous, and Christelle Mari. Around a table
  outside a café three women and one man are sitting. The place is not a
  set for a fiction, and the actors are not the characters of any story.
  As in a cut-out space-time, the people's gestures, dialogues, and
  intentions are subjected to a concern that completely destroys any
  attempt to construct something, even the project of making a film. & Lou
  Castel FIN? 2005, 40 minutes, video. With Castel, Fabienne Duszynski,
  and Sahiri Quarzell. A domestic improvisation on the process of making a
  video. "Through a plot and an editing made in the camera, this is a
  first humorous approach to the act of appropriation of non-existent
  images." –L.C. Total running time: ca. 125 minutes.

Los Angeles, California: Woodbury University Hollywood Exhibitions
http://wuho.org/
8PM, 6518 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028

 STRUCTURES OF EXPERIENCE: INTERPRETING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT THROUGH FILM
 AND VIDEO (PART I)
  This two-part screening series of experimental documentaries takes
  architecture and the urban landscape as a theme. Programmed by filmmaker
  Vera Brunner-Sung, Part I brings together work by contemporary
  filmmakers Alexandra Cuesta, Taylor Greeson and Seth Stewart, Taylor
  Lane, Rachel Reupke, Scott Stark, and Vera Brunner-Sung. Intimate,
  strange, and funny, this first screening reveals individuals navigating
  the architectural underpinnings of the unfamiliar. Whether exploring a
  labyrinthine corporate hotel, contemplating the monumental urbanism of
  Beijing, or witnessing a bomb blast in Lebanon, they are united in the
  ability to evoke a psychology of place from the materials and structures
  of their surroundings. Brunner-Sung brings together these works to offer
  compelling considerations of the political, personal and aesthetic
  resonance of the landscapes we traverse, as well as to enrich her own
  creative interests in these themes. The films: NOW WAIT FOR LAST YEAR
  (Rachel Reupke, digital video, 9:00, 2007); HOTEL CARTOGRAPH (Scott
  Stark, 16mm, 12:00, 1983); PLACES CHANGE (Taylor Lane, digital video,
  5:30, 2009); WAYWARD PILGRIMS (Taylor Greeson and Seth Stewart, super-8
  on digital video, 6:30, 2007); BEIRUT 2.14.05 (Alexandra Cuesta, 16mm,
  8:00, 2008); THE GARDEN CITY (Vera Brunner-Sung, 16mm, 13:30, 2007).
  Admission is free with a suggested donation of $5.

 CAROLEE SCHNEEMAN PROGRAM
  7:30 PM CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN – BOOK RELEASE EVENT! Film Notes Filmmaker in
  person! To celebrate the publication of CORRESPONDENCE COURSE: AN
  EPISTOLARY HISTORY OF CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN AND HER CIRCLE, edited by
  Kristine Stiles and released by Duke University Press this fall, we will
  be screening a single-evening selection of Schneemann's work, including
  several of her seminal films from the 60s and 70s, as well as premieres
  of two brand-new video works, ASK THE GODDESS and MYSTERIES OF THE
  PUSSIES. Schneemann will be here in person to introduce the films and
  discuss her work. FUSES (1964-67, 30 minutes, 16mm, silent. Preserved by
  Anthology with support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual
  Arts and the University of Chicago Film Studies Center.) "[A] notorious
  masterpiece, a silent celebration in color of heterosexual love making,
  the film unifies erotic energies within a domestic environment through
  cutting, super-imposition and layering of abstract impressions scratched
  into the celluloid itself." –THE GUARDIAN MEAT JOY (1964/2008, 10.5
  minutes, 16mm-to-video) Preserved by Electronic Arts Intermix through
  the Avant-Garde Masters program funded by The Film Foundation and
  administered by the National Film Preservation Foundation. "MEAT JOY is
  an erotic rite – excessive, indulgent, a celebration of flesh as
  material: raw fish, chicken, sausages, wet paint, transparent plastic,
  ropes, brushes, paper scrap. … This video was converted from original
  film footage of three 1964 performances of MEAT JOY at its first staged
  performance at the Festival de la Libre Expression, Paris, Dennison
  Hall, London, and Judson Church, New York City." –C.S. KITCH'S LAST MEAL
  (1973-78, 15-minute extract, Super8mm-to-video. Preserved by Anthology
  with support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.) The
  third part of her autobiographical trilogy (including FUSES and PLUMB
  LINE), KITCH'S documents, among other things, the demise of Schneemann's
  cat comrade, Kitch. Presented in varying configurations and lengths over
  the years, it was shot in Super-8mm and shown simultaneously on two
  projectors with one image arranged above another. Here we will be
  screening an excerpt from the DVD transfer that was created as part of
  Anthology's preservation of the film. "Domestic imagery filmed weekly
  for three years in a country house where my partner and myself are
  observed by our 19-year-old cat in the normal routine of domestic
  intimacy and our work as artists. … The ordinariness of the activities
  of the couple in association with the disjunctive sound builds towards a
  disconcerting invisibility – beyond what is here manifest." –C.S. ASK
  THE GODDESS (1991/2010, ca. 7 minutes, video) A document of a
  provocative performance in which Schneemann interacts with the audience
  by responding to sexual and psychic dilemmas read from cards they have
  submitted. A continuous relay of projected slides comprise an
  iconography of Goddess symbols, taboo and sacred, including images of
  animal attributes. Schneemann spontaneously reacts to the questions by
  channeling cogent answers triggered by the unpredictable images, as well
  as finding herself physically activated in instances where she turns
  into a howling wolf or crawls across the projection area squealing like
  a pig. MYSTERIES OF THE PUSSIES (1998/2010, ca. 7 minutes, video) This
  charming and funny piece presents a spontaneous physical and verbal
  interaction between Schneemann and the very beautiful librarian from
  Pori Art Museum, Finland. Spoken in both English and Finnish, their
  dialogue examines a collage of feminist issues contrasted within slide
  projections of amorous cats. Total running time: ca. 75 minutes.

 WORKS BY NATHANIEL DORSKY
  Nathaniel Dorsky, filmmaker 7:00 p.m. Dorsky has spent a lifetime
  exploring the expressive potential of Kodachrome film and has created
  some of the medium's most significant and moving works. Sadly, the
  development of Kodachrome will cease in December 2010. The artist
  describes Compline, his final Kodachrome film, as "the last of the
  canonical hours, the final act in a cycle." Aubade and Pastourelle are
  Dorsky's first works shot on color negative film; inspired by the
  troubadour tradition, they impart the poetics of loss and new
  beginnings. Winter is a Kodachrome ode to the uniqueness of the San
  Francisco season. (Vanessa O'Neill and Steve Polta) $10 general; $7

 NATHANIEL DORSKY: WINTER LIGHT
  A filmmaker since age ten, Nathaniel Dorsky has spent a lifetime
  exploring the expressive photographic potentials of Kodachrome film. In
  this exploration he has created some of the medium's most significant
  and moving color film works. Sadly, the development of Kodachrome will
  cease in December 2010. As if in observance, Compline, Dorsky's final
  Kodachrome film, is described as "a night devotion or prayer, the last
  of the canonical hours, the final act in a cycle." His most recent
  works, the "sister films" Aubade and Pastourelle, represent a turning
  point for the artist—his first works shot on color negative film. Each
  inspired by the troubadour tradition of courtship songs, these films
  impart the poetics of loss and new beginnings. Finally, 2008's Winter
  (also shot on Kodachrome) is an ode to the uniqueness of the San
  Francisco season: "fleeting, rain-soaked, verdant, a brief period of
  shadows and renewal." (Vanessa O'Neill and Steve Polta)

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Early Monthly Segments

7:30 AND 10:00 PM, Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen Street West

 EARLY MONTHLY SEGMENTS #23
  WILL MUNRO'S FAVOURITES! Jean Genet, Barbara Hammer, Jerry Tartaglia,
  Janis Cole/Holly Dale, Tom Chomont and special surprises! A fundraiser
  for the Will Munro Fund for Queer + Trans people with cancer Early
  Monthly Segments is paying tribute to Will Munro, Toronto's catalyst of
  queer and underground cultures who died this past May after living two
  years with cancer. With a keen eye focused on her/histories of queer
  cultures, Will loved sharing music, film + art through his multitude of
  interests and non-stop energy, including his own artistic practices,
  many dance nights and co-ownership of restaurant/club The Beaver. Will
  is dearly missed. We will be sharing a program of some of Will's
  favourite films including Jean Genet's seminal Un Chant d'amour (Will
  named his legendary Vaseline club night from Genet's "The Thief's
  Journal") as well as the rarely screened Ecce Homo by Jerry Tartaglia
  which uses Genet's film to explore the criminalization of gay sexuality
  at the height of AIDS hysteria. Barbara Hammer's Dyketactics and Janis
  Cole + Holly Dale's Minimum Charge, No Cover screened at Vaseline
  numerous times over the years. Two films by Tom Chomont (who sadly also
  passed away this summer) selected by EMS compliment Will's favourites
  and present lush superimposed scenes of lusty exploration. Programme: Un
  Chant d'amour, Jean Genet, 1950, 16mm, France, 26 minutes, silent, B&W
  Ecce Homo, Jerry Tartaglia, 1991, 16mm, USA, 7 minutes, colour

New York, New York: Maysles Cinema

7:30pm - 10:30pm, 343 Lenox Avenue, New York, NY 10027 (2/3 train to 125th Street)

 THE EXPERIMENT - PART FOUR
  The Experiment is a quarterly screening series that charts the
  convergence of documentary and experimental modes of filmmaking. This
  year's final showcase takes a much broader focus than previous
  screenings that concerned politics, portraiture and personal
  ethnography, and casts a long look at cinematic history. When did these
  two genres emerge, and what is their relationship in the context of
  cinematic history? This 'retrospective' exhibition encounters several
  stylistic and technical revolutions in the development of documentary
  and avant-garde filmmaking. These include: the city symphony, abstract
  expressionism, surrealist science, structuralism, diarist cinema,
  optical printing, computer generated imagery, double exposure, digital
  distortion and time-lapse photography. Please join us for an informal
  evening celebrating the radical forms of avant-garde and documentary
  cinema. Theater (8pm - 9:15pm) Daybreak Express, D A Pennebaker, 1953,

 HART OF LONDON
  by Jack & Olga Chambers 1970, 79 minutes, 16mm "A sprawling, ambitious
  film that combines newsreel footage of disasters, urban and nature
  imagery, and footage evoking the cycles of life and death. It is one of
  those rare films that succeeds precisely because of its sprawl; raw and
  open-ended almost to the point of anticipating the postmodern rejection
  of 'master narratives', it cannot be reduced to a simple summary, and
  changes on you from one viewing to the next." –Fred Camper

 ANDY WARHOL'S FACE & THE VELVET UNDERGROUND IN BOSTON
  Andy Warhol's Face & The Velvet Underground in Boston *** Two New
  Preservations! *** Presented in Memory of Callie Angell *** Andy
  Warhol's filmography continues to produce unknown and barely-known films
  as films are slowly preserved and released. FACE is one of those
  barely-known titles – it was publicly shown but little seen before
  Warhol withdrew all of his films from distribution. Starring the
  magnetic Edie Sedgwick, who comes closest to being a muse for Warhol of
  all the Factory regulars, FACE is an extreme example of Warhol's
  interest in portraiture: the film is a nearly 70 minute extended
  "close-up" of Sedgwick as she performs a variety of mundane tasks,
  converses with an off-screen Chuck Wein, and just is herself. *** Also
  showing is another newly preserved film, THE VELVET UNDERGROUND IN
  BOSTON, featuring the band in concert. *** This program is presented in
  memory of Callie Angell (1948-2010). Angell was a film curator, writer,
  researcher, and project director. She worked at Anthology Film Archives
  and the Whitney Museum in New York City and for the past ten years was
  the director of the Andy Warhol Film Project, where she was preparing a
  two-volume catalog raisonée on Warhol's films (volume one, on the Screen
  Tests, was published in 2008; volume two was nearing completion). Angell
  has become the foremost expert on Warhol's films and was a tireless
  champion of his work. *** FACE (1965, 66 mins., 16mm, new preservation
  print) "Featuring two fixed-frame shots of Warhol's socialite superstar
  Edie Sedgwick, FACE (1965, USA, 66 min.) captures what the singer and
  poet Patti Smith described as Sedgwick's ability to radiate
  'intelligence, speed, and being connected with the moment.'" (MoMA) ***
  THE VELVET UNDERGROUND IN BOSTON (1967, 33 mins., 16mm, new preservation
  print) "THE VELVET UNDERGROUND IN BOSTON (1967, USA, 33 min.), which
  Warhol shot during a concert at the Boston Tea Party, features a variety
  of filmmaking techniques—sudden in-and-out zooms, sweeping panning
  shots, in-camera edits that create single frame images and bursts of
  light like paparazzi flash bulbs going off—that mirror the kinesthetic
  experience of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, with its strobe lights,
  whip dancers, colorful slide shows, multi-screen projections, liberal
  use of amphetamines, and overpowering sound of The Velvet Underground."
  (MoMA) *** Admission: $7.00-10.00 sliding scale
