New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
4:00 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

 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
  Dumala FRANZ KAFKA (Poland, 1991, 16 minutes, 35mm, b&w) Ben Rivers AH,
  LIBERTY! (Scotland, 2008, 20 minutes, 16mm, b&w) Melika Bass WAKING
  THINGS (USA, 2011, ca. 25 minutes, 16mm-to-video) Alla Kovgan and David
  Hinton NORA (USA/Zimbabwe, 2008, 35 minutes, digital video) Total
  running time: ca. 95 minutes.

New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue

 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.

 W.R.: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM
  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

  From January 26-29, P.S. 122 will present Let us think of these things

  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

 FREE TUESDAY SCREENING: VOYEURISM AND EARLY CINEMA (PART OF EXPOSED ON
 FILM)
  With the emergence of the moving picture in the late 19th century, the
  theater quickly became a new space for voyeurism and cinema became a
  vehicle for exhibitionism -- perfect compliments. Hidden in the darkened
  movie houses, film goers quickly settled into their new role as passive
  viewers and voyeurs. The collection of short films in the program
  examines early cinema's preoccupation with the thrill and spectacle of
  looking. Museum and program admission are free.

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

 THE FREE SCREEN: FROM ECSTACY TO RAPTURE: 50 YEARS OF THE OTHER SPANISH
 CINEMA: SESSION 6
  ARREBATO (Rapture) Saving the wildest for last, From Ecstasy to Rapture
  closes with this restored and subtitled print of Iván Zulueta's
  underground cult masterpiece Arrebato, a hypnotic reverie charged with
  an eerie mysticism. Also known as Pedro Almodóvar's poster designer,
  Zulueta (who died in December 2009) was an enfant terrible whose tenuous
  art-making culminated in this chilling full-length feature, the
  production of which reportedly nearly collapsed under the drug-fuelled
  atmosphere of its making. Though Almodóvar lends his voice to a female
  character (and the lead character is named Pedro), the film's
  sensibility belongs wholly to Zulueta, who combines many of the
  techniques he had used in his Super 8 shorts (such as A Mal Gam A, Frank
  Stein or Kinkón) while delving into themes that had preoccupied him
  since childhood. Influenced by such disparate sources as Jonas Mekas,
  John Cassavetes and the Nouvelle Vague, Arrebato is a raw, personal and
  unquestionably strange work that is also very much about the cinema
  itself and the power of moving images to lead us to a mystical state
  –the "rapture" of the title. Arrebato Dir. Iván Zulueta | Spain 1980 |

 VIVIENNE DICK: NO WAVE FILMS
  "The quintessential No Wave filmmaker." —J. Hoberman. One of the most
  important filmmakers to emerge from New York's seething No Wave scene,
  and currently enjoying a resurgence of interest in her work,
  Ireland-born Vivienne Dick created a series of Super-8 films in the late
  1970s that balance stripped-down narratives with visceral and moody
  performances by artists and musicians like Lydia Lunch, Pat Place, Adele
  Bertei, and Ikue Mori. Writes Ed Halter in Artforum, "Obsessed with
  exhuming repressed traumas, voicing beaten-down identities, and
  generally meandering through a complex matrix of bad vibes, Dick's works
  …are unapologetically messy, subjective, and political—thereby proposing
  that so, too, is life." This evening's program features a collection of
  her No Wave films, including the small-gauge masterpieces, She Had Her
  Gun Already (1978) and Beauty Becomes the Beast (1979), among others.
  1978-79, Vivienne Dick, USA, Super-8mm on PAL Digibeta video, ca. 80
  mins.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: SUNRISE
  by F.W. Murnau 1927, 95 minutes, 35mm Script by Carl Meyer based on the
  story "A Trip to Tilsit" by Herman Sudermann. Photographed by Charles
  Rosher and Karl Strauss. With George O'Brien and Janet Gaynor. Murnau's
  first American film is an allegory set in no particular time or place,
  about a man who is temporarily overruled by his passions, inflamed by
  the power of evil as personified by the city woman, and who finally
  returns to his senses and the orderly family life of the country. It is
  a virtuoso exercise representing the expressiveness of the silent film
  as it neared its end.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: RULES OF THE GAME
  by Jean Renoir In French with English subtitles, 1939, 97 minutes, 35mm
  "Detested when it first appeared (for satirizing the French ruling class
  on the brink of the Second World War), almost destroyed by brutal
  cutting, restored in 1959 to virtually its original form, THE RULES OF
  THE GAME is now universally acknowledged as a masterpiece and perhaps
  Renoir's supreme achievement. In the four international critics' polls
  organized every ten years (since 1952) by SIGHT AND SOUND, only two
  films have been constant: one is BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN, and the other is
  THE RULES OF THE GAME. And in the 1982 poll, THE RULES OF THE GAME had
  climbed to second place. Its extreme complexity (it seems, after more
  than 20 viewings, one of the cinema's few truly inexhaustible films)
  makes it peculiarly difficult to write about briefly." –Robin Wood.

 EXPOSED ON FILM: THE CONTINUING STORY OF CAREL AND FERD
  Arthur Ginsberg with Video Free America, 1970–75, 58 min., video.
  DIRECTOR IN PERSON! Introduced by Rudolf Frieling, curator of media
  arts, SFMOMA. This fascinating exercise in video verité chronicles
  several years in the lives of Carel, a porn actress, and Ferd, a drug
  addict. Capturing the couple's sex life, their wedding, and their
  breakup, the camera becomes a participant in their relationship. Made
  decades before reality TV took over, Ginsberg's documentary raises
  intriguing questions about the nature of privacy and the role of media
  in everyday life.

  railroad-building family and lived on the same street with F. Scott
  Fitzgerald. Here he re-creates wonderfully – with old family footage –
  the period and milieu of the American upper class at the beginning of
  this century.

 SOCCER LIKE NEVER BEFORE, BY HELLMUTH COSTARD
  Long before the films Zidane and Kobe Doin' Work singularly followed
  their titular characters, German filmmaker Hellmuth Costard made the
  film that served as a model for both, Soccer Like Never Before (1970,
  color, 105 min.), by following George Best through one match of
  Manchester United in 1970. What better way to get away from the Super
  Bowl then through this absorbing film of football as defined by the rest
  of the world? Tickets: General $10, Students/seniors $6; free for
  Filmforum members Advance ticket purchase available through Brown Paper
  Tickets. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/153087
