I see there is a week left on the MOMA Spain (Un)Censored series and Film Forum is stepping up to the plate with a Pietro Germi festival starting this weekend. Still some good things in the Spanish series, like The Executioner tomorrow, but don't know if I'll make any of it. Definitely will try to see at least In nome della legge at the FF.

Sometimes I regret living here; too much, too much...
Youngest MoMA audience I've ever seen last night for Night of the Living Dead, maybe 35-40. And the 8pm screening looked younger still.
I'm pretty sure I've never seen Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (BAM for the next week).

Mike Kuchar TALES OF THE BRONX (1970, 16 minutes, 16mm) “From the elephant house of Bronx Zoo to the eight-story-tall Tabonga Terrace apartments on Sedgwich Avenue, living Mammals scream for their place in the Sun and drop heavy brown excretions in pots of porcelain that splash and clog and suck like huge toothless mouths on the lily-white mounds that lower into the hollow half submerged ovals, creating stagnant damp vacuums that cling and grab.” –M.K.
George Kuchar BLIPS (1979, 31 minutes, 16mm) “An enigmatic movie that’s like an enigmatic enema.” –G.K.
Mike Kuchar ZOOLOGY (2006, 20 minutes, 16mm) “It is believed that Life originated in the Sea, and like the Ocean itself, human existence is thus subject to tides and surging currents of emotions stirred up by memory.” –M.K.
George Kuchar VISTAVISIONS (2007, 15 minutes, video) “A tribute to people everywhere who spread their glorious visions on canvases both large and small, beaded or lenticular, glossy or mat finished. A joyous celebration of lofty peaks and deep dished delights all basking in the limelight of luminous imagery from the visionaries of tomorrow who create today so that yesterday is not forgotten.” –G.K.

Laugh and Live: The Films of Douglas Fairbanks
December 17, 2008–January 12, 2009
http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/film_exhibitions.php?id=10945&ref=calendar
Douglas Fairbanks was a thirty-five-year-old veteran of live theater when he made his first films in 1915 for D. W. Griffith's Fine Arts studio. There, he created the character of "Doug," a breezy, all-American go-getter who seemed to move effortlessly though life and across the screen. Still, Fairbanks never quite fit in with the Griffith ensemble, and within eighteen months he was working independently, eventually becoming one of the founders of United Artists in 1919. The following year, with the release of The Mark of Zorro, he moved into the production of big-budget costume films, averaging one a year for the rest of the 1920s.
This series—which takes its title from Fairbanks's 1917 book of the same name, in which he promoted his optimistic outlook as the key to happiness and success—celebrates the seventieth anniversary of MoMA's acquisition of the Douglas Fairbanks Collection. Jeffrey Vance, author of Douglas Fairbanks (University of California Press & Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, 2008), introduces the December 17 screening of The Gaucho.

patty hearst is so sanitised though. have you seen the docu, guerrilla? it's terrific. i saw it first, and the auster pic comes across as way too sympathetic. the original tapes of hearst's messages, telling her mom not to wear the black dress, are really amazing relics, but the film's kinda revisionist. i seem to remember that she was involved.

since we're here: i was flicking through the anthology film archives catalogue for the next few months, and then for the last few months, and noticed that i'd missed a robert frank retro. so bummed out. i'd heard cocksucker blues was playing, which i've seen projected once, but i can't believe i missed me and my brother etc. did anyone go? is anything else momentous on the horizon? i moved here just after that total eustache run a while back and still kick myself ...
― schlump, Monday, 5 January 2009 17:21 (4 years ago) Permalink
No, I missed all that Frank, incl Cksuker.
I'd call the Kuchar brothers' retro at Anthology from March 11-17 pretty momentous. I've seen just about everything of theirs that's been shown locally in the last 15 years, but this is probably the most of their work that's been shown in one place since George's retro at AMMI around '93. Their shorts, esp from the '50s and '60s, are indescribable... like a Kenneth Anger fan's ramshackle dream of John Waters?
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 5 January 2009 17:28 (4 years ago) Permalink
oh cool. i really ought to get around to seeing those kenneth anger shorts dvds too. the next few months of anthology screenings kind of mystified me, but i might chance some of the new filmmaker nights etc.
i have a great copy of cocksucker blues at a friend's - it's an amazing film, a tapestry of well-observed short takes and moments, so identifiably by frank. you're welcome to borrow if i can retrieve my copy. i believe the retro preceded an expensive dvd release of some of his stuff.
btw, did silent light only just come out here? i saw it forever ago but keep thinking of it.

The David Bellos Tati bio has a chapter on the production, it's not a great book though. There's some info in Stuart Klawan's Film Follies too. It's often referenced and hugely mythologized--Tati bankrupted himself making the film--but there doesn't seem to be much detail available in English.

JANE in person @ IFC:
FTA (1972, Francine Parker), the Vietnam War-era documentary, will be shown in a rare archival screening with former FTA cast member Jane Fonda in person, Monday, February 2 at 7:00pm. Following the screening, Jane Fonda will talk about the film and her work in the controversial antiwar touring show in a discussion moderated by David Zeiger, director of the recent documentary Sir, No Sir! A portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit Iraq Veterans against the War, a nonprofit advocacy organization for ending the war and for providing support to returning service members.
“The show the Pentagon couldn’t stop,” the FTA (which stood for Free Theater Associates, and also Free - or another F-word - The Army) revue brought antiwar entertainment to military personnel at the height of Vietnam. Performers like Ms. Fonda, Donald Sutherland and Holly Near toured towns near military bases around the US and overseas, lending their support to troops who opposed the war. The film documents the troupe’s performances at US military bases on the Pacific Rim - Hawaii, Okinawa, the Philippines - as they attempt to encourage opposition to the war among the rank-and-file of US forces.
Tickets to this special event are $12 for IFC Center members, $15 for non-members.

Wow, that really sucks. The FMC is necessary for most of these to be seen at all (particularly the parts of the collection that don't overlap with Canyon).
Like the kid in that photo, I was once a Co-op intern, and while I don't know all the details, it really doesn't seem like P.S. 1 would need all the space on that floor for the radio station (iirc, they've been running something similar from there for a while); the FMC collection fills only a small room. And even if they're able to find another space, moving all those films is a ton of work, as illustrated here.

Yeah, that's largely true, but the Co-op is primarily a distributor rather than an archive, so it's not like rare negatives are in danger of being destroyed. It's more a question of these movies' (relative) availability to the public than their existence somewhere.

Oooh, forgot Film Forum, I've heard good things!
I might as well get into specifics (I should point out that I'm not actually distributing either of these films, but I am trying to give advice). The first is a ridiculously well-shot film about poor br4zilian boys, looks amazing on a big screen. Kinda like Kiarostami. The director is a colleague of the Dardenne brothers. The other film is a surprisingly well-shot and well-edited coming-of-age doc that follows these Jackass-obsessed kids...sorta feels like cult classic material?
Does that change any answers?

OK, it was pretty painful to watch until the last twenty minutes when Burl Ives was holding court. Niece of screenwriter Budd Schulberg was there and said her father producer Stuart Schulberg had to take over direction of the film because Nick was so strung out at the time.

i liked Headless Womam, though it looks more like an exercice in directing style than an actual "film". she uses the same shooting ideas most of the film over and over again, so you kinda get the point after a while, (till of course the twist in the end, a-la Bunuel, which wraps everything nicely).regardless, it's a good,original exercise in the combination between the camera use and the riddley storytelling,which together makes the viewer think,digging deep into the movie,trying to understand it - story and "message" wise.after all, thats the power of great cinema.

from the NY Times:
HILL-- Roberta, died on July 18, 2009 shortly after her 73rd birthday. Roberta was born in Washington, DC to Dorothy Dyar Hill and Robert Lindsay Hill. She was a consummate collector and animal lover. When she moved to New York in 1983, her love of cinema took center stage. She has been a fixture at almost every film festival and movie house in the City ever since, as captured in the film Cinemania (2002). She was a true New York character and will be missed by many.
A friend was told she had known her illness was terminal for months, but continued going to films.

35 Rhums is easily the best movie of the year.
it's hard to find something negative to say about it, which is another way of saying it's a masterpiece.
Denis is the best user of imageries in current movie making, and her subtle,silent humanity here ranks high as Ozu, (more than Koreeda in Still Walking - which look more like an Ozu film,but falls apart at the end of his movie with banality and over-written dialouges),with other influences as wide as The Dardenne brothers,
the rare,complex combination between abstract,realism and humanism is what make the film so great,along with the quiet and assured pacing which avoid social problems almost entirely,cause "they closed anthropology" (as oppose to what the Dardenne Brotehrs would have make with such a story - another clear influence on Denis here)

via Rolling Doc:Dear NYC,You should seriously see LOOT and BIG RIVER MAN: http://www.ifccenter.com/
http://www.lootmovie.com/trailer.php?page=trailer
Ignore the reviews of LOOT, which seriously piss me off. Here's Karina Longworth on it:"Darius Marder’s feature debut, which debuts on HBO in May, tracks two WWII veterans in their longshot quests to recover pillages valuables hidden since the end of the war. As much a film about the vagaries of memory and post-traumatic stress as it is a portrait of the charismatic car salesman-turned-treasure hunter who guides the veterans (one legally blind, the other blinded by his own hoarding habit), what’s most impressive about Loot is the way the narrative unfolds so effortlessly, with impeccable timing. It’s absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime story, which is not to say that the filmmaker simply got lucky: Marder doesn’t appear in the film or offer narration, but his presence, patience and diligence, his innate understanding of how to hook an audience, is felt in every frame."
And AJ of Alll These Wonderful Things:"A thoroughly surprising, beautifully rendered look at loss and discovery that is as fresh and unexpected as the great, lost, no-star, indie narratives of the 1990s. Its provocative hook - a documentary about a treasure hunter - could almost overwhelm the simple, low key and alternately devastating and satisfying pleasures of this under-the-radar film. Despite its jury triumph in Los Angeles (and the check that came with it), the film has kept a low profile through the fall but it deserves full exposure as a fresh and provocative take on the nonfiction genre. A huge debut for director Marder."

You're in LA, right? It seems like you guys get all sorts of great stuff that rarely plays NY. It's hard to complain given the alternatives, but NY experimental/avant-garde programming is too insular and repetitive. Lincoln Center is particularly bad in this regard -- check the listings for recent Views From the Avant-Garde programs. It's the same 4 or 5 filmmakers every year.

off topic, but i'm working on the assumption that this thread is a honey-trap for film fans on ILX:
which raul ruiz should i see, first, availability pending? i think i have access to three crowns of a sailor. fwiw, i'd maybe be inflicting it on some others, too, so something vaguely enjoyable or interesting would be a plus.
it'd be nice to have a general film thread for general film geeking right now. i'm all full of enthusiasm for archipelago, & need to find counsel on where to go from here with eugene green films; don't know that there's a rolling arthouse thread, or whether one's worthwhile.

They have to add Spectacle. That little theater is showing amazing stuff. I subscribed to their feed and can barely tell when things are playing. They need a new website.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 7 April 2011 17:17 (2 years ago) Permalink
Yeah, totally. Though it's still unclear to me how underground that place wants to be. They seemed super hush-hush at first, but they have received a bunch of fairly high-profile mentions since then, so who knows.

I haven't been. It looks small...is it an OK place to see movies? Sometimes if a place is that small, I'm not sure if it's worth it!
― dan selzer, Thursday, 7 April 2011 17:24 (2 years ago) Permalink
Ha, well it depends what you mean by "OK". It's very comfortable, but it's not agonizing either (a little more legroom than Film Forum, at least). It seems like a lot of the stuff they show is from torrents and run from a drive, which could be a problem, image quality-wise. Everything I've seen there has looked okay, but I've only gone a couple times. But it's cheap, and they show stuff you're not going to see projected anywhere else, which is enough for me.

I don't remember ever reading about those films.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:36 (1 year ago) Permalink
there's a long article somewhere that coincided with the dvd rerelease last year; iirc tape store is a big fan. seventeen's just terrific; i just saw 45365, which has that flickering-portrait-of-a-town-through-vignettes thing going, & even though seventeen's focus is ostensibly school, teenagers, &c, it has the same effect, it somehow catches way more than it films, & is like the ur-text of high school ups and downs, like a verite take on one of the weird fast times/dazed & confused things (i can sorta feel this comparison alienating you but really it's good). i like it a bunch anyway. i don't know so much about the other eps.
― quick brown fox triangle (schlump), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 01:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
Seventeen is a thousand times better than the others. They're probably worth seeing -- the Leacock in particular -- but mostly because they give a sense of how deeply ingrained and unthinking that kinda modified direct cinema approach had become by the early 80s (there's a great, vicious Bill Nichols piece about this). The whole project doesn't add up to much.

I doubt I will end up seeing any of them. The one scheduled for today is probably the most appealing to me but I don't feel like going.BAM is showing Shoah on March 25th. The director will be there. It is one screening, with breaks. I can't make it. Now I am thinking of just getting it on DVD. Apparently it's available as an import from South Korea.

you might check if any NYC stores will rent you OOP Shoah discs.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 16:18 (1 year ago) Permalink
Do you have any suggestions as to where? On the one hand, I don't know that it is something I would want to watch repeatedly, so renting might be a better way to go.On the other, I guess I like the idea of having it so I could just watch when I find the time and the correct mood, rather than being "forced" to watch in an alloted time period.

Anthology with a Secret Cinema program tom'w night:
PROGRAM 1: TOTALLY WIRED: THE FILMS OF BELL TELEPHONEA program of short films from one of the major motion picture producers of the 20th century – the phone company! As the largest corporation in the world, Bell had unlimited resources, producing corporate films more skillfully and more entertainingly than most companies could. We will show an assortment of rare Bell sales films, in-house training films, commercials and public relations films, all on 16mm. As they depict the various missions and agendas of one business throughout the years, the movies also provide a revealing look at mid-century America in general.
Just a few of the highlights will be:TELEPHONE HIGHLIGHTS (1947); WHAT’S IN A NAME? (1950S); DIAL “O” FOR OPERATOR (1965); INVISIBLE DIPLOMATS (1965); OPERATOR (1969); PICTURE PHONE (1970); and more!
PROGRAM 2: CREEPY PUPPET FILMSPuppetry is an age-old art-form that has charmed and delighted both children and adults for countless generations. And puppets have been a source of inspiration to filmmakers almost since the movies began. So why do puppets become so…creepy when filmed and projected on a giant screen? The Secret Cinema will attempt to answer that question – or at least show our favorite examples of this peculiar genre of cinema. Using assorted educational and entertainment shorts from past decades, we’ll show films using hand puppets, marionettes, and stop-motion animated figures and claymation. Some were made by great masters of special effects like George Pal and Ray Harryhausen. Others were made by nameless hacks for forgotten educational film mills. Yet, they are all creepy.
A few highlights include:HANSEL AND GRETEL (1951, dir. Ray Harryhausen); PHILLIPS CAVALCADE (1942, George Pal); MAKING CHANGE (1970s, Unknown); GUMBY: HOT ROD GRANNY (1957, Art Clokey); PIRRO AND THE SCALE (1948, Alvin J. Gordon); and much more!

reading that the carax was well-liked at NYFF but i saw a short film that he made with that denis lavant character and thought it was terrible. i've heard good things about 'post tenebras lux' also.
― these wilburys taste like wilburys (donna rouge), Tuesday, 16 October 2012 21:01 (7 months ago) Permalink

― Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Tuesday, 16 October 2012 21:02 (7 months ago) Permalink
Carax can try one's patience enormously, but I liked Pola X, so wd try this. He makes a film every dozen years or so now, pace Kubrick.

as i'm planning to go to moma on my visit anyway, i'm very tempted by the american avant-garde program there on weds at 1.30pm - do these screenings sell out?
also tempted, on the same day, by the screening of straub/huillet's class relations at this place called the bamcinematek

Xianshi shi guoqu de weilai (Disorder)2009. China. Directed by Huang Weikai. Assembling footage from a dozen amateur videographers, Huang Weikai presents a unique anti-city symphony of urban dysfunction that is alternately hilarious and horrifying. Pigs racing down a busy highway, government VIPs swimming in a polluted river, a hit-and-run victim being bribed to leave the scene, and an abandoned baby gawked at by passersby are all stranger-than-fiction visions that could never be aired on Chinese state television. These images represent both an alternative media culture of amateur videographers and viral video netizens, and the chaos seething through the cracks of a society in rapid transformation. Courtesy of dGenerate/Icarus. In Mandarin, Cantonese; English subtitles. 58 min.Wednesday, May 22, 2013, 4:00 p.m., Theater 2, T2Monday, May 27, 2013, 4:00 p.m., Theater 2, T2

Thought it was incredible the first time I saw it, was completely mesmerized by it and really bought it into it as the summation and end of La Nouvelle Vague. Next time I saw it was kind of bored. No doubt if I ever get the opportunity and the chunk of time to see it again I will be mesmerized again. I like all his other films.
