7:30 pm, UCLA Film & Television Archive, Billy Wilder Theatre, Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd.,
BARBARA HAMMER, SUPERDYKE: DECLARATIONS OF IDENTITY
Declarations of Identity A mix of pseudo-documentary, role-play, and traditional documentation of Hammerâs international audiences combine to create an engaged intervention of queer and feminist testimony in the socially- and politically-charged climate of the 1970s and â80s. I WAS / I AM (1973); SISTERS! (1973); MENSES (1974); SUPERDYKE (1975); MULTIPLE ORGASM (1977); AUDIENCE TRT: 75 min.

8 PM, 992 Valencia Street
OPTRONICA2: DARK SYNTH HANS GRUSEL/BRUTALLO + TOMMY BECKER + HAUNTED BUCHLA
Back by popular demand, Hans Grusel's Krankenkabinet now attempts an even darker theme than the Aztec mummies, with their appreciation/appropriation of cult auteurs Doris Wishman (Bad Girls Go to Hell, A Night to Dismember) and Jack Hill (Spider Baby, Mondo Keyhole)...as artfully re-mixed by Brutallo, and as part of this seasonâs Trash thread. Local electronic ace Thomas Dimuzio graces out gallery (maybe for the first time ever!) to boast to the world of the wonders of the Buchla synthesizerâconceived and produced right here in Berkeley by Don Buchla, another Bay Area arts visionary recently passed. Thomas is teaming up with Oakland optical whiz Lori Varga in their 20-min. A Sudden, Haunting Pulse Beneath the Concrete. Loriâs four projectors mock up a motion picture miasma of urban decay and beautiful desolation. Opening, Tommy Becker continues to pioneer new modes of live-music-video performance, trotting out Stars White in a Blue Field, plus 3 more of his repertoire. Lillian Schwartzâ analog videos serve as stereoscopic interstices between the acts; come early for 35mm filmstrips and Pocket Monsters. *$9.99

THE FESTIVAL OF (IN)APPROPRIATION #10
Curators Jaimie Baron, Greg Cohen, and Lauren Berliner and Filmmaker Brice Bowman in person! Collage or compilation. Found footage film or recycled cinema. Remix or détournement. Whatever one might call it, the practice of incorporating preexistent media into new artworks engenders novel juxtapositions, new ideas, and latent connotations⊠often entirely unrelated to the intentions of the original makers. In that regard, such works are truly âinappropriate.â Indeed, the act of (in)appropriation can reveal unimagined relationships between past and present, here and there, intention and subversion, artist and critic, and perhaps even compel us to reexamine what it means to be the "producer" or "consumer" of visual culture itself. Tickets: $10 general admission; $6 students (with ID)/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Tickets available at https://inappropriation10.bpt.me or at the door For more event information: www.lafilmforum.org <http://www.lafilmforum.org> , or 323-377-7238 Visit the Festival of (In)appropriation at https://festivalofinappropriation.com/

7:30 PM, 155 Freeman St
CINEMA/POLITICS/PHILOSOPHY
A lecture by Nico Baumbach âWhat does cinema think that nothing but it can think?â - Alain Badiou Nico Baumbach presents an overview of his new book Cinema/Politics/Philosophy, the first major study of how continental philosophy after Deleuze has approached the subject of cinema, followed by a discussion with art historian Bettina Funcke. âWhen contemporary continental philosophers Alain Badiou, Jacques RanciÚre, and Giorgio Agamben open up our thinking about cinema, what they offer is not film theory as ideology critique, nor is it film treated as philosophy, as a way to satisfy our metaphysical cravings. For these thinkers, cinema is its own form of thought, and philosophy encounters cinema when cinema itself creates ideas. In a 1987 lecture, Deleuze asked what it means for cinema to âhave an idea,â and each of these philosophers tries to answer this question in his own way. Their responses become intertwined with a more urgent query: What does it mean to call cinema political?â - NB Nico Baumbach is Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at Columbia University.

MATT TOWN: SCREENING & ARTIST TALK
Screening and artist talk with Matt Town, visiting from LA. The approximately 60-minute program of 16mm films and videos by the artist includes both new and early works relating to themes such as tracing and erasure, records and memory, familial love and conflict, among others. In his works, Town takes us beyond the surface image to deeper inquiries about the subjects and subject matter, unveiling contradictions, obsessions, and secrets as well as unexpected dark humor. Although many of his works can be considered as documents or portraits, Town eschews the typical director/subject power dynamic, offering his subjects time and space to reveal themselves. Structural, conceptual and other formal concerns are also of interest to the artist. Matt Town (b. 1989, Sarasota, Florida) is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and artist. His work is primarily concerned with a sense of community and oneâs role within it. His works have previously screened or exhibited at Anthology Film Archives, New York; Millennium Film Workshop, New York; Union Docs, New York; and the Pompidou Centre, Paris, France; Night Gallery, LA, The Box, LA, Torrance Art Museum, Torrance, CA, among others. Admission $8, Members & Students $6.

EC: KUBELKA / LYE
Peter Kubelka MOSAIC IN CONFIDENCE / MOSAIK IM VERTRAUEN (1955, 16 min, 35mm, Made in collaboration with Ferry Radax.) ADEBAR (1957, 1 min, 35mm) SCHWECHATER (1958, 1 min, 35mm) ARNULF RAINER (1960, 7 min, 35mm) OUR TRIP TO AFRICA / UNSERE AFRIKAREISE (1966, 12 min, 16mm) "Peter Kubelka is the perfectionist of the film medium; and, as I honor that quality above all others at this time finding such a lack of it now elsewhere, I would simply like to say: Peter Kubelka is the world's greatest filmmaker - which is to say, simply: see his films!ââ¬ÂŠby all means/above all elseââ¬ÂŠetcetera." -Stan Brakhage Len Lye TUSALAVA (1929, 10 min, 16mm, silent) TRADE TATTOO (1937, 5 min, 16mm) RHYTHM (1957, 1 min, 16mm) FREE RADICALS (1958/79, 4 min, 16mm) A giant of experimental animation, Len Lye was born in New Zealand in 1901. He moved to England in the 1920s and subsequently to New York in 1944, where he spent the last 40 years of his life. A pioneer of 'scratch' or 'direct' filmmaking, Lye used various tools to mark patterns, shapes, and images directly onto the film's surface, and often explored the dynamic energy of abstract images propelled into life by lively jazz scores or Pacific-inspired rhythms. Total running time: ca. 60 min.

7:00 PM, 32 Second Avenue
EC: GEORGE & MIKE KUCHAR
All films in this program have been preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation. PUSSY ON A HOT TIN ROOF (1961, 14 min, 8mm-to-16mm) "It glows with the embers of desire! It smokes with the revelation of men and women longing for robust temptations that will make them sizzle into maturity with a furnace-blast of unrestrained animalism. A film for young and old to enjoy." -George Kuchar MOUNTAIN VACATIONS (1962, 15 min, 8mm-to-16mm blow-up, silent) Also known as CATSKILL COOL CATS, this mysterious reel has never appeared in any Kuchar filmography, including the list in their joint memoir, REFLECTIONS ON A CINEMATIC CESSPOOL. George recalls that this vacation destination was the easiest place to reach by bus from the Bronx. TOOTSIES IN AUTUMN (1963, 15 min, 8mm-to-16mm) A cautionary tale about past-their-prime thespians caught up in a typically Kucharian vortex of madness. LOVERS OF ETERNITY (1964, 36 min, 8mm-to-16mm blow-up, sound on CD. Featuring Mary Flanagan, Dov Lederberg and Jack Smith.) The last 8mm Kuchar production is an all-too-tragic tale in which we find underground icon Jack Smith, experimental filmmaker Dov Lederberg, and one giant cockroach intermingling in the squalor of the Lower East Side. Total running time: ca. 85 min. [MOUNTAIN VACATIONS and LOVERS OF ETERNITY are not part of the Essential Cinema collection, but are included here as a special bonus.]

ARCHIVE FEVER1: CULT MICRO ARCHIVES/ANOMALIES + JOE DANTE'S "MOVIE ORGY"
With Civil Defense crackers on offer, this Atomic Age retro-romp sets off a feisty trifecta on the high stakes and high art of Motion Picture Archiving, with tonightâs celebration of Collectors and Collections oscillating between behind-the-scenes and in-front-of-screens. Our favorite four human-scale âfolk archivesâ share both their anomalous sources and their masterful re-mixes, including several on 16mm! Adam Dziesinski remembers Oddball Films (Stephen Parr RIP) with his 275 Capp Street; Albuquerqueâs Basement Films brag about their post-War industrials buttressing a CD fallout shelter (!); North Carolinaâs Skip the AV Geek Elsheimer fills halls with sublimely ridiculous âorphansâ; and Alessia Cecchet (in person) unveils her own WWW {the whale who wasn't} collage coming out of the Internet Archive, based in our own Richmond district! ALL FOLLOWED by the most famous 16mm compendium in film history, Joe Danteâs Movie Orgy!! Tho the reels were once rumored to top 7 hours, itâs a much later cut screened here (and off video), but we promise to show more than half of this irresistible Olympian assembly of monsters, sci-fi, and Trash that Dante spliced together as a late-60s grad student.

3:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue
EC: GEORGE LANDOW, AKA OWEN LAND
"The unique contribution of Land's work lies in the fusion of intellectual reason and, significantly, the humor that distances it from the supposedly 'boring' world of avant-garde film. Having explored the basic properties of the celluloid strip itself in early works such as FILM IN WHICH THERE APPEARââ¬ÂŠ, his attention turned to the spectator in a series of 'literal' films that question the illusionary nature of cinema through the use of word play and visual ambiguity. His work often parodies experimental film itself by mimicking his contemporaries and mocking the solemn approach of film theorists and scholars." -Mark Webber, TWO FILMS BY OWEN LAND FLEMING FALOON (1963, 6 min, 16mm) FILM IN WHICH THERE APPEAR SPROCKET HOLES, EDGE LETTERING, DIRT PARTICLES, ETC. (1965/66, 5 min, 16mm, silent) DIPLOTERATOLOGY (1967/78, 7 min, 16mm, silent) THE FILM THAT RISES TO THE SURFACE OF CLARIFIED BUTTER (1968, 9 min, 16mm, b&w) INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY (1969, 5 min, 16mm) REMEDIAL READING COMPREHENSION (1970, 5 min, 16mm) WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? (1972, 13 min, 16mm) THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE ETERNAL PRESENT (1973, 6 min, 16mm) A FILM OF THEIR 1973 SPRING TOUR COMMISSIONED BY CHRISTIAN WORLD LIBERATION FRONT OF BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA (1974, 11.5 min, 16mm) FILM IN WHICHââ¬ÂŠ, INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY, and FILM OF THEIR 1973 SPRING TOUR have been preserved by Anthology Film Archives through the National Film Preservation Foundation's Avant-Garde Masters Grant program and The Film Foundation. Funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation. Total running time: ca. 70 min.

OPTRONICA2: DARK SYNTH HANS GRUSEL/BRUTALLO + TOMMY BECKER + HAUNTED BUCHLA
Back by popular demand, Hans Grusel's Krankenkabinet now attempts an even darker theme than the Aztec mummies, with their appreciation/appropriation of cult auteurs Doris Wishman (Bad Girls Go to Hell, A Night to Dismember) and Jack Hill (Spider Baby, Mondo Keyhole)...as artfully re-mixed by Brutallo, and as part of this seasonâs Trash thread. Local electronic ace Thomas Dimuzio graces out gallery (maybe for the first time ever!) to boast to the world of the wonders of the Buchla synthesizerâconceived and produced right here in Berkeley by Don Buchla, another Bay Area arts visionary recently passed. Thomas is teaming up with Oakland optical whiz Lori Varga in their 20-min. A Sudden, Haunting Pulse Beneath the Concrete. Loriâs four projectors mock up a motion picture miasma of urban decay and beautiful desolation. Opening, Tommy Becker continues to pioneer new modes of live-music-video performance, trotting out Stars White in a Blue Field, plus 3 more of his repertoire. Lillian Schwartzâ analog videos serve as stereoscopic interstices between the acts; come early for 35mm filmstrips and Pocket Monsters. *$9.99

THE FESTIVAL OF (IN)APPROPRIATION #10
Curators Jaimie Baron, Greg Cohen, and Lauren Berliner and Filmmaker Brice Bowman in person! Collage or compilation. Found footage film or recycled cinema. Remix or détournement. Whatever one might call it, the practice of incorporating preexistent media into new artworks engenders novel juxtapositions, new ideas, and latent connotations⊠often entirely unrelated to the intentions of the original makers. In that regard, such works are truly âinappropriate.â Indeed, the act of (in)appropriation can reveal unimagined relationships between past and present, here and there, intention and subversion, artist and critic, and perhaps even compel us to reexamine what it means to be the "producer" or "consumer" of visual culture itself. Tickets: $10 general admission; $6 students (with ID)/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Tickets available at https://inappropriation10.bpt.me or at the door For more event information: www.lafilmforum.org <http://www.lafilmforum.org> , or 323-377-7238 Visit the Festival of (In)appropriation at https://festivalofinappropriation.com/

CINEMA/POLITICS/PHILOSOPHY
A lecture by Nico Baumbach âWhat does cinema think that nothing but it can think?â - Alain Badiou Nico Baumbach presents an overview of his new book Cinema/Politics/Philosophy, the first major study of how continental philosophy after Deleuze has approached the subject of cinema, followed by a discussion with art historian Bettina Funcke. âWhen contemporary continental philosophers Alain Badiou, Jacques RanciÚre, and Giorgio Agamben open up our thinking about cinema, what they offer is not film theory as ideology critique, nor is it film treated as philosophy, as a way to satisfy our metaphysical cravings. For these thinkers, cinema is its own form of thought, and philosophy encounters cinema when cinema itself creates ideas. In a 1987 lecture, Deleuze asked what it means for cinema to âhave an idea,â and each of these philosophers tries to answer this question in his own way. Their responses become intertwined with a more urgent query: What does it mean to call cinema political?â - NB Nico Baumbach is Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at Columbia University.

MATT TOWN: SCREENING & ARTIST TALK
Screening and artist talk with Matt Town, visiting from LA. The approximately 60-minute program of 16mm films and videos by the artist includes both new and early works relating to themes such as tracing and erasure, records and memory, familial love and conflict, among others. In his works, Town takes us beyond the surface image to deeper inquiries about the subjects and subject matter, unveiling contradictions, obsessions, and secrets as well as unexpected dark humor. Although many of his works can be considered as documents or portraits, Town eschews the typical director/subject power dynamic, offering his subjects time and space to reveal themselves. Structural, conceptual and other formal concerns are also of interest to the artist. Matt Town (b. 1989, Sarasota, Florida) is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and artist. His work is primarily concerned with a sense of community and oneâs role within it. His works have previously screened or exhibited at Anthology Film Archives, New York; Millennium Film Workshop, New York; Union Docs, New York; and the Pompidou Centre, Paris, France; Night Gallery, LA, The Box, LA, Torrance Art Museum, Torrance, CA, among others. Admission $8, Members & Students $6.

A pioneer of 'scratch' or 'direct' filmmaking, Lye used various tools to mark patterns, shapes, and images directly onto the film's surface, and often explored the dynamic energy of abstract images propelled into life by lively jazz scores or Pacific-inspired rhythms.

EC: GEORGE & MIKE KUCHAR
All films in this program have been preserved by Anthology Film Archives with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation. PUSSY ON A HOT TIN ROOF (1961, 14 min, 8mm-to-16mm) "It glows with the embers of desire! It smokes with the revelation of men and women longing for robust temptations that will make them sizzle into maturity with a furnace-blast of unrestrained animalism. A film for young and old to enjoy." -George Kuchar MOUNTAIN VACATIONS (1962, 15 min, 8mm-to-16mm blow-up, silent) Also known as CATSKILL COOL CATS, this mysterious reel has never appeared in any Kuchar filmography, including the list in their joint memoir, REFLECTIONS ON A CINEMATIC CESSPOOL. George recalls that this vacation destination was the easiest place to reach by bus from the Bronx. TOOTSIES IN AUTUMN (1963, 15 min, 8mm-to-16mm) A cautionary tale about past-their-prime thespians caught up in a typically Kucharian vortex of madness. LOVERS OF ETERNITY (1964, 36 min, 8mm-to-16mm blow-up, sound on CD. Featuring Mary Flanagan, Dov Lederberg and Jack Smith.) The last 8mm Kuchar production is an all-too-tragic tale in which we find underground icon Jack Smith, experimental filmmaker Dov Lederberg, and one giant cockroach intermingling in the squalor of the Lower East Side. Total running time: ca. 85 min. [MOUNTAIN VACATIONS and LOVERS OF ETERNITY are not part of the Essential Cinema collection, but are included here as a special bonus.]

ARCHIVE FEVER1: CULT MICRO ARCHIVES/ANOMALIES + JOE DANTE'S "MOVIE ORGY"
With Civil Defense crackers on offer, this Atomic Age retro-romp sets off a feisty trifecta on the high stakes and high art of Motion Picture Archiving, with tonightâs celebration of Collectors and Collections oscillating between behind-the-scenes and in-front-of-screens. Our favorite four human-scale âfolk archivesâ share both their anomalous sources and their masterful re-mixes, including several on 16mm! Adam Dziesinski remembers Oddball Films (Stephen Parr RIP) with his 275 Capp Street; Albuquerqueâs Basement Films brag about their post-War industrials buttressing a CD fallout shelter (!); North Carolinaâs Skip the AV Geek Elsheimer fills halls with sublimely ridiculous âorphansâ; and Alessia Cecchet (in person) unveils her own WWW {the whale who wasn't} collage coming out of the Internet Archive, based in our own Richmond district! ALL FOLLOWED by the most famous 16mm compendium in film history, Joe Danteâs Movie Orgy!! Tho the reels were once rumored to top 7 hours, itâs a much later cut screened here (and off video), but we promise to show more than half of this irresistible Olympian assembly of monsters, sci-fi, and Trash that Dante spliced together as a late-60s grad student.

EC: GEORGE LANDOW, AKA OWEN LAND
"The unique contribution of Land's work lies in the fusion of intellectual reason and, significantly, the humor that distances it from the supposedly 'boring' world of avant-garde film. Having explored the basic properties of the celluloid strip itself in early works such as FILM IN WHICH THERE APPEARââ¬ÂŠ, his attention turned to the spectator in a series of 'literal' films that question the illusionary nature of cinema through the use of word play and visual ambiguity. His work often parodies experimental film itself by mimicking his contemporaries and mocking the solemn approach of film theorists and scholars." -Mark Webber, TWO FILMS BY OWEN LAND FLEMING FALOON (1963, 6 min, 16mm) FILM IN WHICH THERE APPEAR SPROCKET HOLES, EDGE LETTERING, DIRT PARTICLES, ETC. (1965/66, 5 min, 16mm, silent) DIPLOTERATOLOGY (1967/78, 7 min, 16mm, silent) THE FILM THAT RISES TO THE SURFACE OF CLARIFIED BUTTER (1968, 9 min, 16mm, b&w) INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY (1969, 5 min, 16mm) REMEDIAL READING COMPREHENSION (1970, 5 min, 16mm) WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? (1972, 13 min, 16mm) THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE ETERNAL PRESENT (1973, 6 min, 16mm) A FILM OF THEIR 1973 SPRING TOUR COMMISSIONED BY CHRISTIAN WORLD LIBERATION FRONT OF BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA (1974, 11.5 min, 16mm) FILM IN WHICHââ¬ÂŠ, INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY, and FILM OF THEIR 1973 SPRING TOUR have been preserved by Anthology Film Archives through the National Film Preservation Foundation's Avant-Garde Masters Grant program and The Film Foundation.
