> Jack H. Skirball Series $10 [students $8, CalArts $5] Los Angeles
> premiere In 2006, experimental filmmaker Naomi Uman returned to the land
> her great-grandparents had left a hundred years earlier. Living among
> the babushky of a tiny Ukrainian village, she discovered a lifestyle
> that didn't seem to have changed much in a century, and set out to make
> a series of "precise miniatures of a rural life that's fading" (Robert
> Flaherty Seminar) shot in 16mm, while keeping a video diary. In Kalendar
> (2008, 16mm, silent, 11 min.), a series of exquisite snapshots examine
> the meanings of the months in the Ukrainian calendar. Videodiary
> 2-1-2006 to Present (2011, video, 83 min.) reframes the previous
> elements into a larger narrative struggling with issues of identity,
> gender, and her intimate connection with the history of Judaism and
> global immigration. In person: Naomi Uman Curated by Steve Anker and
> Bérénice Reynaud. "Like a crochet needle swiftly passing through loops
> of silk and wool… Naomi Uman's camera lives amongst the people, homes
> and villages she films." —Pacific Cinematheque, Vancouver The Jack H.

> by Jonas Mekas 2011, 114 minutes, video Share + Film Notes "For two
> hours we stroll with Jonas Mekas through New York nights, through
> apartments, studios, backstage rooms, galleries, bars, and clubs. We
> meet old acquaintances like Ken and Flo Jacobs, Yoko Ono, Patti Smith,
> Carolee Schneemann, Marina Abramović, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Pip
> Chodorov, friends, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, and we also
> make many new acquaintances. The father of the diary film begins a film
> with the words 'I can't sleep.' Who hasn't been in this situation?
> Sleepy and yet wide awake at the same time, you find yourself in the
> world of those exhausted from the day's exertions, the drunk, the
> relaxed, the dancing, the brooding, the mourning, the pensive, the
> partiers. In this film Mekas dives into a time vacuum…and it becomes
> increasingly unclear whether we really did get up and go out, whether
> what we're seeing are remnants of the day that we're remembering or
> remnants of films by one of the greatest avant-garde filmmakers whose
> life wrote film history." –BERLINALE 2011 "This film originated from my
> readings of the ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS. But unlike the Arabian
> tales, my stories are all from real life, though at times they too
> wander into somewhere else, beyond the everyday routine reality. "There
> are some twenty-five different stories in my movie. Their protagonists
> are all my good friends and I myself am an inseparable part of the
> stories. The storyteller of the Arabian Nights was also part of his or
> her tales. "Some of the people in the movie you'll recognize, some not.
> The fact that some of them you'll recognize has no bearing on the
> stories: after all, we all recognize John Wayne or Annette Bening, but
> in their stories they are no longer the people we know. "The subjects of
> the stories cover a wide range of emotions, geographies, personal
> anxieties, anecdotes. These are not very big stories, not for the Big
> Screen: these are all personal big stories… And yes, you'll also find
> some provocations… But that's me, one 'me' of many. The very question

> ANIMALS OF ART A FILM BY PETER SEMPEL, SPECIAL ARTIST PREVIEW
> PLEASE NOTE THE EARLY SCREENING TIME OF 6PM. Admission $6 - Artist in
> person! We warmly welcome from Hamburg film-maker and photographer Peter
> Sempel, for a special preview of his newest work "Animals of Art", which
> recently screened at the Kunstverein (Hamburg), Volksbuhne (Berlin), and
> Kunsthalle Emdem. This feature is a visionary collage of sound and
> images featuring among others Jonathan Meese, Daniel Richter, Jonas
> Mekas, Georg Baselitz, Yoshito Ohno, Peter Broetzmann, Antony & the
> Johnsons, Shumann, Razorheads. ""Over 2 years I followed and explored
> different worlds of art, starting and focusing more or less on German
> artists, from old masters, moderns to young generation, f.e. Jonathan
> Meese, Daniel Richter, Neo Rauch, Georg Baselitz, Volkmann, Bazon Brock,
> Jonas Burgert, Kirchner, Runge, Degas, Goya. It also features a little
> sequence with Raha Raissnia, painting in black, and Jonas Mekas telling
> us about 1.000m-runnings…And, many animals, alligators, giraffes,
> horses, donkeys, snakes, cats+dogs, andante….It's a big collage, like a
> painting." - - P S. "Peter Sempel is my good film friend. We did two
> movies together, JONAS IN THE DESERT and JONAS BY THE OCEAN. He has also
> done movies on Kazuo Ohno, Nina Hagen, Lemme, and Flamenco. He has
> developed a very unique, his own Sempelian form of a real life movie
> musical and he is continuing filming non-stop." -- Jonas Mekas Brief
> Bio: Peter Semple has been making films since 1981. He was born in
> Hamburg and grew up in the Australian outback. He started making films
> because of the music, especially Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave and
> classical music (favourite record "Berlin" by Lou Reed). He carries his
> films around the world and presents at festivals, special events, in
> off-cinemas, discos and all kinds of places. In Germany his films are
> distributed by Silver Cine, a small company in Hamburg. More info:

> by Jonas Mekas 1969, 180 minutes, 16mm New print by Cinema Arts Inc.
> Special thanks to Michael Kolvek, Fran Bowen (Trackwise) and Pip
> Laurenson (Tate Museum). Filmed 1964-68; edited 1968-69. "Since 1950 I
> have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex
> and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York,
> seasons of the year. On some days I shot ten frames, on others ten
> seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shot nothing. When one writes
> diaries, it's a retrospective process: you sit down, you look back at
> your day, and you write it all down. To keep a film (camera) diary, is
> to react (with your camera) immediately, now, this instant: either you
> get it now, or you don't get it at all." –J.M. "I make home movies –
> therefore I live. I live – therefore I make home movies." –from the
