  Screening 6pm: Lecture: Kisito Assangni with Mario Casanova, Director of
  CACT followed by a public discussion. Time is love Screening is an
  annual exhibition of projectable videos from an international selection
  of artists active around the world. The screening explicitly emphasizes
  the idea of love in these hard times and socio-cultural interference,
  the way in which technology and society give rise to new forms of
  artistic expression by using the new media. The project aims to consider
  the work of these artists as part of the global phenomenon that is
  contemporary art, and asks the audience to reflect upon how the time
  that led to the production of these works was formed. Conceptually
  diverse, emotionally incisive and visually inventive, the selected works
  transform the most familiar video art into an illuminating investigation
  of contemporary culture. Time is Love.4 brings to the world a refreshing
  perspective on video art. http://timeisloveshow.blogspot.com

Boston, Massachusetts: ArtsEmerson

7PM, 9PM, 559 Washington Street

 RED PSALM
  Miklós Jancsó won the Best Director prize at Cannes for this "awesome
  fusion of form with content and politics with poetry," which chronicles
  with almost ruthless sorrow a farmworkers' revolt and its inevitable
  suppression.

5:15 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: HOLLIS FRAMPTON
  ZORNS LEMMA & HAPAX LEGOMENA I: (nostalgia) by Hollis Frampton Film
  Notes ZORNS LEMMA 1971, 36 minutes. "A major poetic work. Created and
  put together by a very clear eye-head, this original and complex
  abstract work moves beyond the letters of the alphabet, beyond words and
  beyond Freud. If you don't understand it the first time you see it,
  don't despair, see it again! When you finally 'get it,' a small light,
  possibly a candle, will light itself inside your forehead." – Ernie Gehr
  HAPAX LEGOMENA I: (nostalgia) 1971, 36 minutes. "nostalgia, beginning as
  an ironic look upon a personal past, creates its own filmic time, a past
  and future generated by the expectations elicited by its basic
  disjunctive strategy." – Annette Michelson "In nostalgia the time it
  takes for a photograph to burn (and thus confirm its two-dimensionality)
  becomes the clock within the film, while Frampton plays the critic,
  asynchronously glossing, explicating, narrating, mythologizing his
  earlier art, and his earlier life, as he commits them both to the fire
  of a labyrinthine structure; for Borges too was one of his earlier
  masters, and he grins behind the façades of logic, mathematics, and
  physical demonstrations which are the formal metaphors for most of
  Frampton's films." – P. Adams Sitney Total running time: ca. 100
  minutes.

Los Angeles, California: Filmforum
http://www.lafilmforum.org/
7:30 pm, Echo Park Film Center, 1200 N Alvarado St. (@ Sunset Blvd.)

 LOS ANGELES FILMFORUM PRESENTS RADICAL LIGHT: SMALL GAUGE
  Radical Light: Small Gauge highlights super 8 and regular 8mm films made
  in the Bay Area. Even though regular 8mm and later super-8mm were
  designed as amateur home mediums during the middle decades of the last
  century, artists using these small-scale tools increasingly appreciated
  the intimacy of the screening situations and the low-key and fragile
  qualities of the image and spontaneity that 8mm filming allowed. This
  program showcases a wide range of ways that San Francisco based moving
  image artists consciously worked with the small-scale nature of 8mm,
  using home distributed found footage, working with daily 'home movie'
  subjects to create expressive and direct diaries and cinematic reveries,
  or using the nature of these tools for formal exploration. Filmmakers
  include Bruce Conner, Scott Stark, Nathaniel Dorsky, Bob Branaman, Janis
  Crystal Lipzin, silt, Julie Murray, and Ellen Gaine.

New York, New York: Medicine Show

7pm, 549 West 52 Street (between 10th and 11th Avenues)

 ILLUMINATED TEXTS: NEW LANGUAGE-BASED VIDEOS BY DAVID FINKELSTEIN AND
 MIKE KUCHAR
  Language forms the basis for these premieres of new videos from
  acclaimed filmmakers Mike Kuchar and David Finkelstein. Whether it is
  the metaphysical speculations of "Epistolary Fusillades," poetic
  explorations of biology in "Reproductive Technology," or Percy Shelley's
  poetic descriptions of love and fate in "The Two Fauns," these complex
  collages of music, images, words, and sounds all aim to use video in
  order to bring poetic texts to life. MIKE KUCHAR'S films have been
  acclaimed all over the world since 1963. His work has influenced many
  other filmmakers, such as John Waters, David Lynch, and Andy Warhol.
  DAVID FINKELSTEIN's video work has been featured in numerous one-man
  shows, film festivals and has won awards at nine of them. Filmmaker
  Henry Gwiazda wrote that "Finkelstein's work is stunning thematically,
  visually and structurally. Structurally, I don't think he has a peer in
  video art." His work has been funded by The Fund for Creative
  Communities, The Field, Movement Research, Meet the Composer, The
  Brooklyn Arts Exchange, BACA, and other sources.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: NANOOK OF THE NORTH
  by Robert Flaherty 1922, 83 minutes, 35mm The most enduring of all
  Flaherty's films for its simplicity of purpose, structure, and design.
  It ennobles its subjects rather than exploiting them. Sharp and
  uncluttered, the film relies on a few well-developed sequences which
  remain in the memory of the viewer

8:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: MAN OF ARAN
  by Robert Flaherty 1934, 76 minutes, 35mm Film Notes Flaherty's third
  major film portrays the lives of a family of fisher folk on the Aran
  Islands off the coast of Galway, Ireland. Flaherty selected this
  location and subjects because of their isolation as the westernmost
  outpost of European civilization. In addition, the daily struggle
  between the islanders and the sea perfectly suited his interests and
  concerns. The scenes at sea are breathtaking. "His passionate devotion
  to the portrayal of human gesture and of a man's fight for his family
  makes the film an incomparable account of human dignity. Better than
  anyone, Flaherty knew how to show the true face of Man." –Georges Sadoul

 BARBARA HAMMER: EXPERIMENTING IN LIFE AND ART
  Barbara Hammer has made over 80 films in a career that spans 40 years,
  and is widely celebrated throughout the world as a pioneer of queer
  cinema. This screening presents the Los Angeles premieres of two of
  Hammer's recent works: Generations (2010) made with Gina Carducci, a
  film about the ongoing tradition of personal filmmaking, the last days
  of Coney Island's legendary Astroland, and the aging of the film medium
  itself; and A Horse Is Not A Metaphor (2009) with music by Meredith
  Monk, a richly textured filmic tapestry that reflects upon Hammer's bout
  with cancer, her return to her experimental filmmaking roots, and her
  drive to change illness into recovery through travels and pilgrimages in
  New Mexico, Wyoming and Woodstock. Hammer's book, HAMMER! Making Movies
  Out of Sex and Life was published last spring, and she was recently
  given a career retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. In person:
  Barbara Hammer. Jack H. Skirball Series $9 [students $7, CalArts $5]

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Early Monthly Segments
http://earlymonthlysegments.org/
7:30 PM, Gladstone Hotel 1214 Queen Street West

 EARLY MONTHLY SEGMENTS #24 = PETER WATKINS + BRYAN FRYE
  Early Monthly Segments kicks off the new year with a new night: Monday!
  Peter Watkins' film Culloden is based on John Prebble's account of the
  brief and bloody battle that ended the Jacobite uprising in April 1746.
  Prebble's book relies on first person descriptions of the battle by
  soldiers and officers from both sides, civilian witnesses, and official
  documents from the time of the battle. He also provides accounts of the
  subsequent murder, rape and deportation of Scots Highlanders who fought
  for, or were perceived to be allied with Charles Edward Stuart against
  William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland. Made for BBC television and aired
  in 1964, Culloden was Watkins first feature film and was groundbreaking
  in its use of non-actors, cinema-verité cinematography and television
  news style reporting to depict a historical subject. These techniques
  were to become Watkins' signature in subsequent projects and are
  consistent with Prebble's intention of creating a peoples history
  written from within the event. The anachronistic interruptions of
  reporters interviewing participants on both sides of the battle both
  distance and engage the viewer, enhancing the intimacy of the personal
  accounts while pointing to the artificiality of the re-enactment.
  Approaching history the same way as the BBC might then have treated
  current events allows Watkins to underline persistent truths around the
  futility and brutality of armed conflict, especially for those who are
  most likely to suffer the most devastating consequences. Brian Frye's
  film Across the Rappahannock documents a reenactment of a civil war
  battle. His silent observation is more subtle than polemical, serving as
  an erie window on a brutal time. Frye writes, "In November 2001, I
  attended a small and relatively informal reenactment of the battle of
  Fredericksburg. About a hundred men and women did their best to
  illustrate the actions of the thousands of young men who offered their
  lives a century earlier. An air of absurd theater suffused the entire
  event, which provided the ground for its peculiar truth. Everyone played
  their part exceedingly honestly and well, and left something on the film
  I was myself surprised to find there." Programme: Culloden, Peter
  Watkins, 1964, 16mm, B&W, 75 minutes Across the Rappanhock, Brian Frye,
  2002, 16mm, color, silent, 11 minutes

 AVANT CINEMA 4.1: FILM (PARKOUR) MULTI-PROJECTOR WORKS BY CHRISTOPHER MAY
  Christopher May's 16mm and Super-8 film work explores sensually textural
  qualities of cinema and their topographical relationships with
  sub-cultural landscapes. His recent experimental cinema features organic
  and intimate life portraits of traceurs, practitioners of Parkour. His
  films have screened at Yale University, the Austrian Film Museum, The
  Loring Greenough House (Boston) and MALBA - Museo de Arte
  Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. In addition to his own film-making,
  Christopher May founded TIE and has curated and presented film programs,
  festivals and conferences for museums, film societies and universities
  world-wide. Artist statement: "This work deals with the subtle nuances
  and nascent qualities of film and film projection. My problems with
  moving image representations of Parkour occur within what many refer to
  as "new media". FILM (Parkour) is, in one form, an attempt to
  deconstruct the notion of "new media" and it's contemporary discourse."

7:00pm, TIFF Bell Lightbox , 350 King Street West

 THE FREE SCREEN: FROM ECSTACY TO RAPTURE: 50 YEARS OF THE OTHER SPANISH
 CINEMA: SESSION 5
  INVESTIGATION / METACINEMA Reflections on the nature and essence of the
  medium and the intersections between film and other art forms are mined
  in this diverse and richly amorphous programme, ranging from cinematic
  self-portraits to encounters with dance, performance, photography and
  poetry. The anarchic BiBiCi Story grew out of the student protests in
  May '68 and displays a La Chinoise-like self-consciousness in its
  lessons on ideological repression. The erotically charged and
  Warhol-influenced Ice Cream (there's a lot of licking!) is one of the
  most provocative works to emerge from the Spanish underground, while
  Travelling chronicles its own making, in a nod to the
  structuralist-materialist school of experimental cinema. Jorge Cosmen's
  Debord-riffing In Girum is a kinetic experiment using photographic
  slides and a day at a nudist beach, forming an interesting contrast in
  portraiture to Laida Lertxundi's Farce sensationelle!, a self-portrait
  and simultaneous homage to Dziga Vertov, fusing the artist's eye with
  the Kino-eye. Blanc Dérangé Dir. Blanca Casas Brullet | Spain 2008 |

7PM, RSVP for location

 UNEXPECTED KUCHAR: GALLERY OPENING
  For the opening of the new gallery piXel (+) freQuency we are bringing
  in the great and classic Mike Kuchar to screen films and videos from
  throughout his career. From our director and programmer: ... Hello One
  and All, We all know the classic Sins of the Fleshapoids and the crazy
  campy films of the Kuchar Brothers. Yet, there are a significant amount
  of films and videos that are rarely shown. I have known Mike for many
  years, from acting in his films, and during that time he has shown me
  many films that are just as beautiful and powerful as the well known
  films, but certainly have a much different look and feel to them. Come
  celebrate the opening with Mike and me. It is free, but donations are

 KELLY SPIVEY PROGRAM
  Anthology's exhibition program encompasses many different categories of
  screenings each calendar – along with our theatrical premieres, thematic
  series, and auteur and actor retrospectives, we're equally dedicated to
  programming the work of new, emerging, and all-too-rarely-seen
  avant-garde moving image artists. Each month we present at least one
  program of such work under the rubric
  NEW/IMPROVED/INSTITUTIONAL/QUALITY, an Owen Land-inspired title for a
  series that, after all, features new (and new to us) cutting-edge works,
  exhibited at a hallowed institution, and whose high quality we're more
  than prepared to guarantee. JANUARY: KELLY SPIVEY Kelly Spivey's
  exquisite, beautifully crafted, and sensitive films have popped up in a
  variety of contexts over the years – at various festivals, including
  Toronto's SpliceThis! Super8 Film Festival, the Madcat Experimental
  Women's Film Festival, and the San Francisco International Lesbian Film
  Festival, as well as at Buffalo's Hallwalls, Brooklyn's Ocularis, and on
  PBS's ReelNY. But opportunities to see her work on a program of their
  own have been few and far between. A former Associate Director of
  Squeaky Wheel in Buffalo, a video editor at Mercer Media, and an
  instructor at Millennium Film Workshop, Spivey has devoted many years of
  service to the cause of experimental cinema, as programmer,
  administrator, educator, production advisor, and conservationist. This
  depth of experience is reflected in her own work, which displays a
  remarkable facility with a range of methods, including animation,
  found-footage, collage, and optical printing. We're very pleased to host
  her for an evening featuring a selection of the films she's created over
  the past decade. WHY YOU WERE BORN (2001, 6 minutes, Super-8mm) A
  Kodachrome Super-8 animation that utilizes found images delicately cut
  from magazines from the 1940s-70s. A hand-held camera creates agitation
  and a frenetic frame speed penetrates women's roles shown in
  advertising, shattering them and then offering humorous feminist
  solutions. POOR WHITE TRASH GIRL – CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS (2003, 6 minutes,
  16mm) A semi-autobiographical fictional animation, based on the life of
  a poor white girl who lives amidst Fisher Price Little People. FISH
  UNDER DELANCEY (2006, 26 minutes, 16mm) The tunneling of the subways
  beneath the city, the people who ride the subway, and the slogan, "If
  you see something, say something", inspired this stop-motion,
  eavesdropping, dreamlike journey film, which follows poet and writer
  Eileen Myles on parts of the journey. ME, MYSELF & I (2003, 3 minutes,
  16mm) Using paper dolls, magazine cutouts, and vintage valentines, this
  film plays with ideas of metamorphoses, gender variance, narcissism,
  and, somewhat subliminally, President George W. Bush. MAKE THEM JUMP
  (2009, 11 minutes, 16mm) Optically printed from found footage of animals
  with children, with subliminal messages, this film uses snippets from
  discarded educational films. Plus: camera rolls from the
  work-in-progress THERE IS FROM NOTHING, an experimental film portrait of
  the eco-feminist artist, Helène Aylon. Total running time: ca. 65
  minutes.

 EVERY HOUSE HAS A DOOR: SHORTS PROGRAM
  This winter P.S. 122 and Anthology Film Archives will host a series of
  parallel events conceived by the Chicago-based theater company Every
  house has a door. Encompassing performance, a symposium, and these film
  screenings, together they constitute an investigation of abandoned
  practices, endangered uses, and the fraught nostalgia of utopianism.
  From January 26-29, P.S. 122 will present Let us think of these things
  always. Let us speak of them never., a performance composed largely in
  response to the films of the legendary Yugoslavian director Dušan
  Makavejev. P.S. 122 will also host a two-hour symposium on January 29,
  while Anthology will present two film screenings: a short film program
  on January 29, curated by filmmaker Melika Bass, whose new film WAKING
  THINGS showcases performances by the cast of Let us think…; and a
  special presentation of Makavejev's landmark feature, WR: MYSTERIES OF
  THE ORGANISM. Special thanks to Melika Bass, Vallejo Gantner (P.S. 122),
  Shoshona Currier, Lin Hixson & Matthew Goulish (Every house has a door),
  and Brian Belovarac & Sarah Finklea (Janus Films). PROGRAM 1: SHORT FILM
  PROGRAM Curator/filmmaker Melika Bass in person! "The filmmakers
  featured in this program all explore the corporeal in the everyday,
  honing atmospheric worlds from fragments of gestures and moments. Many
  of the figures in these works seem lost to memory, living in a shadowy
  realm of hushed interior rooms, a rocky mountain slope, or a small, dank
  village. The visceral textures of these realms offer a silent history of
  use, as bodies inhabit and move through worn spaces, enacting everyday
  rituals or labors, possessed by solitude and a wildness of their own
  physicalities. We observe these characters, figures in their landscapes,
  left to piece together meaning, story, and poetics." –Melika Bass Piotr

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: GENET/ROBERT FRANK & ALFRED LESLIE
  Jean Genet UN CHANT D'AMOUR 1950, 26 minutes, 16mm, b&w, silent. Jean
  Genet's poetic expression of male eroticism pitted against the confines
  of prison cells and a homophobic state…a powerfully resonant work that
  explores individual freedom and the laws of desire. Robert Frank &
  Alfred Leslie PULL MY DAISY 1959, 28 minutes, 35mm, b&w. A largely
  spontaneous experiment, arranged in 1959 by Robert Frank along with
  Alfred Leslie. They enlisted the participation of Jack Kerouac, who
  offered in place of an original screenplay a stage play he'd never
  finished writing, "The Beat Generation." The plot is based on an
  incident in the life of Neal Cassady and his wife Carolyn. They're
  raising a family and trying to fit in with their suburban neighbors, and
  one night they invite a respectable neighborhood bishop over for dinner.
  But Neal's Beat friends crash the party, and that Marx Brothers-like
  scenario is the closest thing the film has to a storyline. Total running
  time: ca. 60 minutes.

  Makavejev WR: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM / WR – MISTERIJE ORGANIZMA 1971,
  84 minutes, 35mm. In English, Serbian, Russian, and German with English
  subtitles. "Called 'an outrageous, exuberant, marvelous work' by Amos
  Vogel in FILM COMMENT, WR is a unique blend of fact and fiction.
  Makavejev's landmark film deftly juxtaposes the story of a sexual
  encounter between the beautiful, liberated Milena and a repressed Soviet
  figure-skating champion, with an exploration of the life and theories of
  psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. The 'WR' in the title stands for either
  'Wilhelm Reich' or 'World Revolution.' Makavejev describes it as 'a
  black comedy, political circus, a fantasy on the fascism and communism
  of human bodies, the political life of human genitals, a proclamation of
  the pornographic essence of any system of authority and power over
  others…. If you watch for more than five minutes, you become my
  accomplice.'" –FACETS MULTIMEDIA

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: GRANT/JACOBS & FLEISCHNER
  Dwinell Grant COMPOSITION #2 CONTRATHEMIS 1941, 5 minutes, 16mm, color,
  silent. "An attempt to develop visual abstract themes and to
  counterpoint them in a planned, formal composition." –D.G. "Austere and
  chaste combinations, with subtle manipulation of structure, density and
  rhythm."–William Moritz STOP MOTION TESTS 1942, 3 minutes, 16mm, color,
  silent. A self-portrait. COLOR SEQUENCE 1943, 3 minutes, 16mm, color,
  silent. "Pure solid-color frames which fade, mutate and flicker. A
  research into color rhythms and perceptual phenomena." –William Moritz
  Ken Jacobs LITTLE STABS AT HAPPINESS 1959-63, 18 minutes, 16mm, color.
  Featuring Jack Smith. "Material was cut in as it came out of the camera,
  embarrassing moments intact. 100' rolls timed well with music on old
  78s. I was interested in immediacy, a sense of ease, and an art where
  suffering was acknowledged but not trivialized with dramatics. Whimsy
  was our achievement as well as breaking out of step." –K.J. Ken Jacobs &
  Bob Fleischner BLONDE COBRA 1959-63, 35 minutes, 16-to-35mm blow-up,
  b&w/color. Featuring Jack Smith. Preserved by Anthology, with the
  generous support of The Film Foundation, The National Film Preservation
  Foundation, Simon Lund and Cineric, Inc. "BLONDE COBRA is an erratic
  narrative – no, not really a narrative, it's only stretched out in time
  for convenience of delivery. It's a look in on an exploding life, on a
  man of imagination suffering pre-fashionable Lower East Side deprivation
  and consumed with American 1950s, 40s, 30s disgust. Silly, self-pitying,
  guilt-strictured and yet triumphing – on one level – over the situation
  with style… enticing us into an absurd moral posture the better to
  dismiss us with a regal 'screw off.'" –K.J. Total running time: ca. 70
  minutes.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE
  by Marcel Hanoun In French with no subtitles; English synopsis
  available, 1958, 68 minutes, 16mm Film Notes "Based on a true incident,
  the film chronicles the wanderings of a woman and child looking for work
  and lodging in Paris. This is the only plot, and Hanoun has little
  interest in embellishing it with background and motivation: he never
  even makes it clear, for example, whether the woman is the child's
  mother, guardian or companion. UNE SIMPLE HISTOIRE is, more than a
  narrative, a formal stylistic exercise so rigorously disciplined and
  understated that it makes the visual asceticism of Robert Bresson seem
  almost Fellini-esque by comparison." –TIME
