  light projections as part of a live performance or installation. No
  digital projections are presented; film and projected light only. We
  believe there is magic in seeing a film print projected, a presence a
  poet has when reading their own work, a feeling that resonates in your
  chest when seeing music performed live. For these reasons we encourage
  live projections with live additional audio, visual and performative
  elements. Participating artists include: Lindsay Mcintyre, Edward Merton
  Casey, Monica Baptista, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe aka Lichens, Joey
  Huertas aka Jane Public, Patricia Ordonez, Morgan Nance, Luke Munn, Eric
  Ostrowski, Jodie Mack, Jasa Baka, Julia Thomas, Tyr Jami, Alex Mallis,
  Hunter Simpson, Theodore Rex King, Jordan Stone, Alex Cunningham and

  performances, dance, poetry, installation, multiple-projections and
  audience participation! That means YOU! There is NO FEE TO ATTEND, so

London, England: Exploding Cinema
http://www.explodingcinema.org
7.30pm, The Horse Hospital, Colonnade, Bloomsbury, London, WC1N 1JD

 DUNCAN REEKIE : RETROSPECTIVE
  As part of the London Underground Film Festival, Duncan Reekie will
  present and perform a selection of work including early Super 8 films,
  recent digital video and the world premiere of a new performance. Reekie
  has been a malign influence on British Underground Cinema for over
  twenty years.He has produced a diverse body of work that explores a
  variety of styles, techniques and purpose, including narrative drama,
  scratching and colouring celluloid,multiple superimpositions, video
  collage and lyrical visions. He is perhaps most celebrated for his
  performance work which features projected images and scathing rhetoric
  that is often mistaken for irony. Reekie has developed a mongrel praxis
  that refuses the institutional separation between theory and practice.
  It is subjective and chaotic, it is enmeshed in a complex system of
  political contingencies : he is an agent in the narrative. He is a
  founder member of the infamous Exploding Cinema Collective, a radical
  open access-screening group and he was the co-ordinator, producer and
  co-director of the international Underground feature film MALDOROR
  (2001) that has toured extensively throughout Europe and America. His
  highly acclaimed book 'Subversion: The Definitive History of Underground
  Cinema' was published by Wallflower Press in October 2007.

 OWEN LAND DIALOGUES
  DIALOGUES, OR A WAIST IS A TERRIBLE THING TO MIND 2007-09, 120 minutes,
  video. Land's final film – the first he had produced in more than 20
  years – consists of an episodic series of short films informed by his
  study of folklore, myth, history, and the theology of all major
  religions, including Gnosticism and cabala. With a healthy dose of irony
  and a proudly irreverent attitude toward all kinds of orthodoxies, Land
  readily applies the structure of the Platonic dialogue to explore themes
  of reincarnation, art criticism, and Tantra. "On one level, DIALOGUES is
  a parody of SCORPIO RISING, using era-specific hit records to locate
  scenes in time and mood; on another level, it's an interpretation of
  Plato's dialogue 'Phaedo', in which Socrates proves the doctrine of
  re-incarnation; on still another level, it is a polemic for the Tantric
  belief in the sacredness of male-female polarity. With music by Meredith
  Monk, Laurie Anderson, Joan Baez, Patti Smith, The Byrds, Phil Collins,
  Alice Cooper, Genesis, The Human League, et al. Rated R: Restricted to
  audiences with a knowledge of Art History." –O.L.

 WALLACE BERMAN’S UNDERGROUND
  In the mid-1960's, Wallace Berman inspired and communed with a
  close-knit circle of actors and artists, who screened their underground
  films domestically among a group of Topanga Canyon bohemians. These
  films were influenced by Berman's spiritualist and radically amateur
  concepts of art, that nevertheless thrived in the intersection among
  art, Hollywood, and the institutions of the semi-commercial underground.
  Films to be screened include: Aleph by Wallace Berman (1956-66),
  Breakaway by Bruce Conner (1966), First Film by Russ Tamblyn (c. 1966),
  Rio Reel by Russ Tamblyn (c. 1968), A Dance Film Inspired by the Music
  of Jim Morrison by Toni Basil (1968), and Selections from Topanga Rose
  by George Herms (1960s). In person: Toni Basil, Tosh Berman, George
  Herms, Russ Tamblyn (schedules permitting)

San Francisco, California: Oddball Films
http://www.oddballfilm.com
8pm, 275 Capp Street

 FROM TEA LEAVES TO TECHNOLOGY
  Oddball Films presents From Tea Leaves to Technology: Britain's GPO
  Films, a program of rare 16mm films examining culture and modernity
  produced by the UK's legendary GPO Film Unit. The GPO employed some of
  the most influential directors of creative cinema including abstract
  filmmakers and animators such as Len Lye, Norman McLaren and Lotte
  Reiniger. The program features Song of Ceylon (1934), one of the most
  critically acclaimed films of the UK's early documentary film movement
  produced by John Grierson (who would go on to found the National Film
  Board of Canada) and sponsored by the Empire Tea Marketing Board and the
  Ceylon Tea Propaganda Bureau. Song of Ceylon chronicles the exotic
  cultural and religious customs of the Sinhalese (now Sri Lankans) and
  the effects of advanced industrialism on their culture. This poetic and
  elegantly lensed film features inventive experimental sound montages
  interwoven with anthropological narration. Winner of best film at the
  1935 International Film Festival in Brussels. Also screening will be
  Night Mail (1936). This critically acclaimed film features the operation
  of the Royal Mail train delivery service showing its systematic stages
  and procedures channeling representations of modern technology and
  institutional practice into a study of the train as a powerful symbol of
  modernity. Night Mail borrowed from the aesthetics of Soviet cinema to
  turn an explanation of the work of the travelling post office into a
  hymn to collective labor. With a musical score arranged by Benjamin
  Britten and Alberto Cavalcanti, and rhyming verse written by the great
  poet W.H. Auden. Also screening will be This Is Britain (1942) a British
  propaganda short produced during World War II by the Crown Film Unit, an
  organization within the British Government's Ministry of Information to
  support the Allied war effort. The film depicts a day in the life of
  Britain during the blitz, and is noted for its nonlinear structure and
  inventive use of sound. It was nominated for the Academy Award for
  Documentary Feature in 1942. Finally The Oil in Your Engine (1969) a
  technologically innovative film about the properties of oil in
  automotive engines produced by the makers of the biggest petroleum
  disaster in history-British Petroleum. The psychedelic visuals and
  experimental soundtrack, combined with the innovatively framed shots
  makes their "science" of oil lubrication all the more bizarre. Nominated
  for a BAFTA award (British Academy of Film and Television Arts). ----

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: RAPT
  by Dimitri Kirsanoff In French with no subtitles, English synopsis
  available, 1934, 84 minutes, 35mm "RAPT is, paradoxically, both a film
  which looks back anachronistically toward the silent era and a work
  which belongs to the vanguard of sound cinema. Part of that paradox can
  be resolved by an understanding of the film's complex utilization of
  music. RAPT employs very little dialogue, and in this respect it is
  reminiscent of the part-talkie genre…. It is linked to such abstract and
  hybrid avant-garde works as VAMPYR and L'?GE D'OR. The radical nature of
  RAPT, however, resides in its vision of a cinematic musical score. In
  making the film, Kirsanoff worked closely with the composers Honegger
  and Hoerce." –Lucy Fisher

  screening of his breathtaking film, Hart of London. "The houses were
  unlit and, without their orange banners of human warmth, the street
  looked abandoned of life. My feet became numb with the cold as the day
  darkened, and tough little grey flakes began falling from the sky. I
  looked around to find what it was that had hurt me, and all I saw were
  the dumb houses, the glitter of steel through a crack in the closing
  sky, and the hard snow – Jack Chambers on Hart of London EARLY MONTHLY
  SEGMENTS _at_ Gladstone Hotel, Art Bar, 1214 Queen Street West Monday
  December 5, 2011, 7:30 pm screening, $5 suggested donation Special
  thanks to the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Canadian Filmmakers
  Distribution Centre (CFMDC) and our lovely hosts at the Gladstone Hotel.
   Upcoming: #35 = Monday 16 January 2012 = PUBLIC Journal launch of 2010
  Experimental Media Congress issue WITH special EMS screening of a
  recently restored rarely screened avant garde film! Early Monthly
  Segments is a monthly film series named after an early film by Robert
  Beavers, and is inspired by the immediacy, vibrancy and experimentation
  found in that film. Programmed by Scott Berry, Chris Kennedy, and Kate
  MacKay this series features historical and contemporary avant-garde 16mm
  films in a salon-like setting at the Gladstone Art Bar in Toronto,
  Canada. In this relaxed context with refreshing beverages and food
  available, we hope to encourage a convivial atmosphere for engaged
  viewing and post-screening dialogue. We do not receive public funding
  for our programs. We pay artists from admissions.

 DESIGN SHORTS BY PAUL CLIPSON
  Paul Clipson Presents Design Shorts Introduced by Paul Clipson,
  filmmaker Phyllis Wattis Theater, noon This program of commercial and
  experimental shorts investigates how ideas about consumerism, product,
  and design directly inform the visual style and texture of a film. In
  some manner self-referential or subversive, these films comment on and
  critique the very basis of their own creation, questioning basic
  practices of the entertainment industry. The program includes Adebar
  (1957) and Schwechater (1958), Peter Kubelka's failed commercials that
  became seminal works of avant-garde cinema. Museum and program admission
  are free.

 ESSENTIAL CINEMA: LAUREL & HARDY
  "Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the movies' greatest comic duo, the
  quintessential dumb and dumber odd-couple. Though critically
  overshadowed by Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd, they were enormously
  popular, and proved a major influence on Abbott & Costello, Lucille Ball
  & Vivian Vance, and Jackie Gleason & Art Carney, not to mention Samuel
  Beckett (they were an inspiration for WAITING FOR GODOT), Roman Polanski
  (who paid homage to them in his existentialist short films FAT AND LEAN
  and TWO MEN AND A WARDROBE), and Ken Jacobs (whose ONTIC ANTICS
  deconstructs one of their films)." –David Mulkins COUNTY HOSPITAL (1932,
  20 minutes, 16mm, b&w) Directed by James Parrott. THE MUSIC BOX (1932,
  30 minutes, 16mm, b&w) Directed by James Parrott. THEM THAR HILLS (1934,
