Future Anterior /(Instant); Muriel Montini; 6.00; S8/Digi
A woman emerges from the shadows in slow motion. While approaching, we hear echoes of story. It might seem insignificant, but it’s the sort of story that haunts your thoughts for the rest of your life.

Dream Of Me; Agnes Moon; 9.31; Digi
Using images and testimony far removed from the life of its ostensible subject, the documentary attempts to imagine a sister, a relationship, and mixed-race identity.

Land Of Mourning Calm; Jessica Bardsley; 15.00; Digi
Land of Mourning Calm is an epistolary video essay that charts a long distance correspondence between two women–one American, the other South Korean. It is a work of experimental ethnography, which uses personal memory as a mode of exploring female intimacy, self-discovery, and issues of cross-cultural translation.

Elinor Beauregard; Simone Bailey; 1.36; Digi
Drawing from Gustave Calliebotte’s The Floor Scrapers, the video examines labor, bodies, and touch.

The Sin; Doris Neidl; 3.06; Digi
A video inspired by a poem of Iranian writer Forough Farrokzhad. It speaks about love, lust and desire. But it’s also highly mystical. For the video I used found footage (three of my favorite films: Hiroshima mon amour; La piscine, Jules et Jim) combined with new footage. The words are spoken in Farsi. I am borrowing excerpts from the films and transforming them into a new context. Therefore, on one side bowing to these films of “world cinema”, on the other side interpreting and visualizing Farrokzhad’s poem.

Trust; Tammy Kinsey; 7.41; Digi
TRUST uses digital and traditional elements chronicling the experience of traveling alone as a female, observations of the road, an internal and external journey measured in miles.

Hatchet; Hilda Daniel; 0.29 Looped; Digi
Phonetic sequences propel decapitated segments suggesting threat, violence – dv, stalking, rape – escape. Words are used linguistically, sonically and visually to convey meaning (“hatchet” is repeated in whispers chugging like a train or train of thought locked in a chant of madness or fear; letters move, are hacked, torn, peek and disappear…). The piece is a fright of fancy – a concrete poem part rage, part fear.

PROGRAM 5 — 67 min – July 27, 2011 8PM —

SPECIAL THANKS to Kathryn Ramey for bringing her 16MM print to tonight's show!
8pm Anthology Film Archives
After the screening join us for conversation at White Rabbit – 145 East Houston Street



SORROW; Liliana Resnick; 13.40; 16mm

Every war has its end. Only, every war has its beginning too. In 2003 during the war on Iraq, an American reservist refused his wife’s advice to flee the country rather than being activated for duty in war. “I’ll come back” he said. When he returned he told to his wife, ”I trained for war, I was even looking forward to it. Now I wish I had never seen it. I cannot bare to be alive.”

“The footage for this film is in two parts: the documentary of demonstrations against the war in Iraq from 2003 in San Francisco, and a fictional story which depicts a woman losing her husband. I decided to make a short film which will tell a story of a journey which knows its end from its very beginning. Although demonstrations against the war were strong, focused, eloquent, and well organized, they did not change the course the U.S. government set up for the events to come.”-L.R.



EVERY MORNING WE WERE AWAKENED; Gia Michael; 4.32; digi

This work is part of a larger film entitled 'DISINHERITED EARTH.' this chapter is a reflection on notions of religion as motive and the construction of identity. The work is an investigation into the dichotomies of convention, ancestry, and cultural inheritance. The project blends factual and fabricated personal and collective histories to allow another layer of narrative emerge from the captured dialogue and poetry by the artist.



YANQUI WALKER & THE OPTICAL REVOLUTION; Kathryn Ramey; 33.00; 16mm

This film explores a now-obscure American expansionist and military dictator, William Walker, who through military force and coercion became president of Nicaragua in 1856. The film blends found footage, documentary photography, ethnographic inquiry, and personal travelogue with experimental film techniques such as hand-processing, optical printing, and time-lapse to detour and derail the various approaches to history-making that have been applied to this story. Yanqui WALKER as a contemporary work of film art, not only tells us something about history and how it connects to current political, social and economic situations but also how art and poetry can be a means to subvert and transcend even the most oppressive of narratives.



RICE RELIEF; C+A Projects (Carolyn Radlo & Alanna Simone); 2:52; Digi

C + A Projects is Carolyn Radlo & Alanna Simone live in San Francisco and collaborate on projects which deal with social and political situations through the lens of their own particular experience, communicating through sparse text and evocative imagery. Rice Relief is a stop-motion animation rumination about food, rank, and privilege. http://thecarolynandalannashow.com



A MOVIE BY JEN PROCTOR; Jennifer Proctor; 12:00; Digi

A loving remake of Bruce Conner’s seminal 1958 found footage film, “A MOVIE” uses appropriated material from YouTube and LiveLeak; and provides a parallel narrative that explores the changes in historical and visual icons from 1958 to 2010 – and those images that remain surprisingly, and delightfully, the same. It comments on the pervasiveness of footage available for appropriation in an online world, and the way disparate threads in the YouTube and LiveLeak databases can be assembled to create “a movie.”

Total program run-time 60 minutes

DAILY PRACTICE by Naomi White (excerpt), 2006
Through the repetition of various everyday routines, we create images of ourselves. In Daily Practice, I employ video to explore issues of balance—the earnest and healthy desires for growth versus rituals that perhaps go too far, and instead consume our identities. Does 'practice' improve who we are, or diminish our reality and sense of self? When do repetition and imitation become obsession, and how do we gauge when a practice that may have once been beneficial has become destructive? By depicting different aspects of ritual /obsession this work investigates how the need to change ourselves can elevate ordinary practices into transformative spells in the drive to become something 'more.' Through imitation, conditioning and practice these characters attempt to create new instinctual behaviors through which they come to understand themselves and their world.

THE JUAREZ MOTHERS by Zulma Aguiar, 2006
Zulma Aguiar is an Electronic Artist originally from Calexico, California in search of "the truth" behind the Ciudad Juarez femicides. She discovers that the only reality she cared about in the end was the stories of the mothers of the femicide victims. Zulma interviewed as many mothers as she could with all of her own personal resources and the support of her university, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and traveled to Juarez several times to meet face to face with the realities of the feminine ground zero. The mothers explain the story one more time and makes the point that in the end the reason why these women are being killed and left to die is simply because they are poor. In the faces of the mothers is where corruption and negligence is expressed with pain and sorrow for their own loss.

UPSTATE GIRLS SCRAPBOOKS by Sabrina Cardenales & Monique Flynn (local filmmakers), 2011
"Upstate Girls" share stories about the challenges in their lives, and the institutions with which they are entwined—including the legal, educational, healthcare and penal systems. Monique & Sabrina’s scrapbook videos are a piece of the story of the young women of Troy and these videos will be archived in the Rensselaer County Historical Society Archives.

THE TOUCH by Vanessa Woods, 2006
A meditation on Anne Sexton’s poem of the same name. The film examines melodies within spoken, written and visual language and how they can interact. By juxtaposing text, image and sound, the viewer is asked to contemplate disparate forms of human response and emotion regarding language and imagery. In The Touch, the text from the poem is first given life through single-frame animation, then layered audio recording and finally through animated visuals that reinterpret it. Language and image investigate feelings of disembodiment, isolation and absence punctuated by sound and silence. Because the subject of the poem deals specifically with the idea of touch, the film sustains a highly tactile, textural quality wherein the filmmaker’s hand is overtly present.

PASSING> 13 THINGS ABOUT NELLA LARSEN by M. Weimer, 2005
Most people have never heard of Nella Larsen, a mixed-race Harlem Renaissance writer, whose career was brilliant but tragically brief. Recently, an increasing amount of scholarly attention has been given to Larsen's work yet there exists a frustrating lack of visual documentation on her life. This video essay/experimental short montages the few existing archival photographs of the writer with contemporaneous found footage. It attempts to introduce this groundbreaking writer to new audiences while reimagining the life of a mysterious woman whose life mirrored her art in its liminality.

NARCISSIUS by Oriana Fox, 2003
Tale of Narcissus is the second in the series of videos in which I have set the words of the popular TV series Sex and The City into the mouths of 1970s feminists, all of whom are played by myself. In this mini-episode Samantha has nude photographs taken in which she poses with chewing-gum vulvas on her body, a gesture mimicking that of the artist, Hannah Wilke.

WE CAN SPREAD THE MESSAGE by Holly Clark (local filmmaker), 2010
Created in the “Trojan Herstories Digital Storytelling Workshop” funded by Holding Our Own, an audio/video oral history project designed to raise awareness about the disfranchisement of women; involving participants in the representation of their communities. This video is Holly’s portrait of CLUW (Coalition of Labor Union Women). For more info visit: www.mediasanctuary.org/node/1916 www.cluw.org

OUR HOPE by Natalie Halpern, 2006
In the villages of western Kenya, AIDS has robbed hundreds of thousands of children of their parents. Who's caring for them? Tumaini Letu (Our Hope) follows the lives, struggles, and indomitable spirit of three women left to care for these orphans. Rasoa Kivairu is raising ten grandchildren. Anna Khautu is a single mother of five. And Anna Aredo has taken in four nephews. With limited resources but great resolve, they must overcome many challenges to ensure these children have a chance at a better future.

WEE DARK HOURS by Annie Novak & Alexis Powell, 2007
A stop motion animation about a mother's love, a singing moon and
stars and the magic of being born. Short and sweet and made with felt!

*************************************************
CALL & RESPONSE; Ellen Lake; 3.30; 16mm / cell phone/digi
Vintage 16 mm film home movies from the late 1930s/early 40s combines with cell phone and digital media today to explore ideas about the evolution of technology, the relationship between past and present, and the perception of time and memory.

OPAL; Cara Marisa Deleon; 3.30; digi
An experimental nursery rhyme explores gender and power.
TILL THERE WAS YOU; Baba Hillman; 7.30; super8 to digi
Performers:Laura Diaz del Corral, Baba Hillman; Camera: Léna Rouxel, Fernando de Azevedo,
Baba Hillman; Music: Columb Farrelly.
I don’t know where my steps lead. But I am here through you, through my love for your eyes.

NEVER TOO LATE; Wendy Weinberg; 7.40; digi
Using images from vintage films and classic TV and replacing the soundtrack with contemporary dialogue, "Never Too Late" tells the story of two hotel maids who have lived together in San Francisco for 25 years. When the California courts grant same-sex couples the right to marry,
Stella and Rosie decide it’s time to tie the knot. But before they can hire a florist, Prop 8 is passed.
Must they head east in search of equality?

ORGASMATIQUE, DRAMATIQUE, HORROR; Melissa Bruno; 2.13; digi
A performance art video that critiques the exploitation of the female face in popular body genre films (pornography, melodrama, horror) and the role women have been burdened with in cinematic history as the sole bearer of emotion.

DINNER FOR 4; Ariane Loze; 7.00; digi
MÔWN (Movies on my own) is a series in which Loze plays with our reflex to interpret images and to associate them to create a coherent narrative. In these shorts, Loze plays all the parts, and she is also the director, the camerawoman, the scenarist and the editor. The edit constructs a relationship between 2 or more different characters and the architecture that surrounds them. By reducing the means to a minimum, one actress and a camera, the artifices of filmmaking become more visible and the spectator has to use his/her imagination to construct the story and to overcome the artificiality of this recomposed image of reality—Three women sitting around a dinner table, waiting.The atmosphere is tensed. The fourth one arrives, she will be the only one to eat, the others will observe her. Between these four women, a silent conflict develops and the gestures of each of them are judged by the others. Feelings of mistrust and anxiety grow. The outcome surprises them all.

PRICKTIC ; Hilda Daniel ; 0.51; digi
A nervous tic, a sinister twitch, a butterfly, beermat and desire edge inside a woolly slit of fluttering violence. In PRICKTIC, pressed seduction teeters and is dragged into a covert drama played out in non-verbal sound. The wrenching of audio clip and image from their original form into distressed violence is echoed in the narrative.

SEGMENT 38:07; Hilda Daniel; 0.38; digi
Experimental entomology, phonology-linguistics, power, abuse and sex in 38 seconds or less. In SEGMENT, I have taken a small bit of archival footage (a children’s science film from the great Prelinger Archive online) and, reprocessing sound from aged film and record, exposed an overlooked narrative from the original film and restructured a new narrative thread which may have broader implications.

HONEY BED; Syni Pappa; 4.08; Super 8
Honey Bed is an intimate portrayal of femininity and the act of subversion in the post modern times of depression. The film was shot in one Super 8 film cartridge with no retakes.

MILLING THE LIGHTS; Jelena Maksimovic; 15.50; digi
Lights, bodies, movements. Love story filmed by a broken web camera.

May 11, 2011 @ 7:30 ANOTHER EXPERIMENT by WOMEN curated by Lili White

EYE:AM presents Women's Night as part of NEW FILMMAKERS


MIRROR MOVES for PRIVATE EYES; Alice Cohen: Animation & Soundtrack (composer, performer, producer using
analogue synthesizer and voice); 13.42; digi
Animation exploring the idea of the Mirror as a psychic receptor; a magical portal to visionary and ecstatic states, thru
self-reflection and visualization. The ritual use of beauty tools such as make-up, hair brushes, perfume, and other trans-
formative implements, are infused with a symbolic charge. Spaces of movie theaters with lit-up marquees, and boudoirs
with mysterious dressing tables, act as portals as well - power sites where time is fluid, and past and future co-exist.
Auras of glamour, artifice and fantasy are used in a hypnotic, meditative way, creating pathways towards transcendence
and personal gnosis.

PURSUIT; Ariane Loze; 7.00; Digi
Loze is the director, camerawoman, scenarist, editor and plays all the actors parts. The edit constructs a relation-ship
between different characters and the architecture that surrounds them. By reducing the means to a minimum, one act-
ress and a camera, the spectator has to use their imagination to construct the story and to over-come the artificiality of
this recomposed image of reality.

STANDSTILL; Angeliki Malakasioti; 8.21; Digi
This video explores the architecture of 'stillness' in its physical, notional and emotional dimensions; a lonesome point
of view - the distorted time of a pause - the lubricity of endurance -- a cordial halt between sleeping and unsleeping.
It attempts to delve into the faulty experience of an intimate standstill, its ethereal but disquieting atmosphere and the
unearthly fears inhabiting it. Alice's Red Queen was tangled in a running-to-stand-still effort to keep her present alive.
Being life-like in deep stillness can be as erroneous as the motion-and-quiescence erotic battle. One cannot but violate
the intensity of a deep pause by 'rebooting' himself and living again. All elements are underpinned by a theoretical, but
still intimate, approach of the idea of 'stillness', in its conceptual, spatial and psychological dimensions.

SACRED; Tammy A Kinsey; 16.18; digi
A digital video piece that examines the concept of Meaning in our contemporary world. Sacred explores visual
notions of reverence through natural and man-made environments, from the commercial and flashy to the organic and
sublime. Light, memory and time are components of the filmmaker’s journey. As the artist travels from West to East
geo-graphically, she moves from the colors of Hollywood to those of her ancestral home. The piece simultaneously
investigates the relationship between digital and traditional means of imaging and representation. What is sacred has
always been that which is simple and comforting, evocative of a sense of belonging- reminder of our place in the world.

CHIROS; Melanie Crean; Computer Graphics by Luba Drozd; 7.50; digi
Chiros is based on interviews with HIV+ women speaking about how their perception of time has changed since
becoming positive. There can be an urgency related to chronological time: days are governed by medication schedules
and the pursuit of goals in a race against their body. This is often punctuated by welcomed interruptions from Chiros, a
perceived suspension of time during happy occasions, as when one loses oneself in moments with friends and family.
The experimental documentary contrasts the women’s descriptions of struggle with shimmering animated compositions,
that embody not only the complexities of their personalities, but the different forms of time they are grappling with.

teNtaCles of DiMenSions; Nandita Kumar;14.00; mini DV
Tentacles of Dimensions is a journey of a brain that decides to unplug its cultural programming(or awakens to the fact
of constant programming), and purely indulges in the senses. It accepts it sexuality and duality of existence and evolves
with each painful birth. It goes through acceptance of life as it is, in its naturalness, and lives in its totality. This journey
is the unlearning of fear and prejudices, and progressing past fragmentation and the acceptance of love. It is within this
body of blood, flesh and bones is hidden that is beyond the body. In the form lives the formless; in the visible lives the
invisible.

EYE:AM presents ANOTHER EXPERIMENT by WOMEN
at Anthology Film Archives
curated by Lili White http://www.eyeamvideo.blogspot.com/
PROGRAM 2 - March 16 7:15PM
*************************************************

CAUDA PAVANIS; Carolyn Radlo; 3.35; digi
Above and Below, Side to Side: The whole picture and everything possible. Cauda pavonis means peacock's tail, and in alchemy, it refers to a multicolored point of perfection in the long and magical work of transformation. This film is an experimental alchemical procedure (3 x 3) revealing the true likeness of the omphalos of the American continent, the mountain range we call The Grand Tetons.

RETREAT ; Katya Yakubov; 2009; 8.30; digi
Our acquaintance with Amy and with Tibetan Buddhism is limited to the glimpses of a curious outsider. Fragmenting images and sounds, the film explores and renders a snapshot of a day in the life of a Tibetan Buddhist nun. This is a subjective echo of our experience, being welcomed into a space by the people of Milarepa Center.

ECSTATIC VESSELS; Diane Kitchen; silent; 20.00;16mm @ 24fps
Blaze in the trees Blaze on the brow.
When walking in the deep woods and examining its details in close-up and wide-angle, the surroundings reveal moments that move rapidly. Transformations. The light does not stop changing. The elements nod and sweep and seem to signal to each other. Incidents occur. Spontaneity. Foreground and background, shifting perspectives. A vast scattered array pulls together and with it ideas of trees, wind, sun and relationships.
"All life is being lived.
Who is living it, then?
Is it the things themselves,
or something waiting inside them,
like an unplayed melody in a flute?" --Rainer Marie Rilke, The Book of Hours

CONSIDERING AN EXHIBITION; Marta Renzi; 5.05; digi
A photographer wrestles with his conscience in his small attic studio at night. In a crisis of faith, he keeps returning to his stark black-and-white images for proof that what he does matters. After a bath, image and reality merge into a new beginning.

STILL LIFE: LONDON; Wyllie O Hagan (Denise Wyllie & Clare O. Hagan); 5.37; HD Video/animated still photography http://www.wyllieohagan.com
A quest for stillness in a hectic world made through quiet but voluble domestic vignettes and the abstraction of thought and reflection. One screen reveals a personal collection of still, quiet life objects, beautifully considered and composed, revealed at a reflective pace. The second screen features abstract energetic lines wildly drawn with light.

UNA SPORCA VACANZA (DIRTY VACATION); Cinzia Sarto; 7.00; miniDV
Documentary and fiction, join fragments of reality from different places and time. Inside a labyrinth of cement cubes, debris and water, humans distracted by the rituals of vacation seem indifferent to the world surrounding them. A veiled woman is searches for a way out.

ICELAND; Fabienne Gautier; 4.09; Super 8 to Digi
Iceland's landscape seemed to reflect a particular internalization of feeling. The piece was shot in B&W super 8 while driving across Iceland in 2004. This work speaks to this internal mind.
