On March 9, 1916 Pancho Villa raided the border town of Columbus, New Mexico. Every year a procession on horseback makes its way north through the Chihuahua desert in a ceremony of commemoration; a ceremony that for a day will open the border between Mexico and the United States.

Screening will be followed by a QandA with the filmmaker.

Bio
Cathy Lee CRANE has been charting a speculative history on film since 1994. She received the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2013 for her lyrical re-combinations of archival and staged material. Her body of work enjoyed its first survey in 2015 as part of the American Original Now series at the National Gallery of Art. Crane’s award-winning films (which include the experimental biographies Pasolini’s Last Words and Unoccupied Zone: The Impossible Life of Simone Weil) have screened at Viennale, San Francisco International Film Festival, Festival du Nouveau Cinema, Cinematheque Francais, BFI, and Arsenal/Berlin and are distributed by Canyon Cinema, Lightcone, and Films Media Group. Her first feature-length fictional hybrid The Manhattan Front (2018) premiered at SFIndie Fest in 2018 with a profile in Filmmaker Magazine. In 2020 she will release Crossing Columbus, a feature-length documentary about the border town of Columbus, New Mexico which was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center Residency and the El Paso Cultural Foundation. Her engagement with the history of the US/Mexico border will continue as 2020 Residency Fellow at the Harun Farocki Institut in Berlin, where she will prepare an installation of Drawing the Line, a film series presented at the 2019 Poetics and Politics Documentary Research Symposium at UC Santa Cruz. Crane is Associate Professor in the Department of Cinema and Photography at Ithaca College.

What the critics have said about Cathy Lee Crane:

“The best experiences are often unanticipated, and definitely unhyped. In our age of marketing bloat, with everybody and their corporation trying to brand themselves indelibly upon humanity’s collective brain, it is rare to experience art without expectations. Crane's gorgeously photographed film poems made me realize anew the beauty of black-and-white deep-focus photography.” – V.Vale, RE/Search

“Lush, meditative films that eschew stylistic and narrative convention.” – Huisman, TimeOut New York

“Cathy Lee Crane is one the most interesting filmmakers in the tradition of the avant-garde working in the United States today. Her films succeed in developing within a feminist perspective a very personal poetics.” – Noel Burch, Paris

Wednesday, November 13 • 4:00 PM • Bijou Theater

Indian filmmaker, artist and musician Natasha Mendonca (CalArts PFV MFA ’10)and singer actor and composer Suman Sridhar make up the performance duo The Black Mamba. They will perform Olamidutal/The Land of the Breasted Woman, an immersive live video and sound performance. The project documents and traces the historical and contemporary practices of ritual mourning in South India. The performance of lament, a South Indian oral form of ritual mourning is performed on the anniversary of the funeral of Nangeli – a fierce female character from the 18th century history of Kerala, India, who sacrificed her life in protest of the Breast Tax Law enforcing lower caste women to pay a tax in order to cover their bodies in public. This multi-disciplinary project combines ethnomusicology, cinema, poetry, gender studies and post-colonial studies. The cultural and historical specificity of this work is related to contemporary experiences of oppression.

'Archiving Time ' (2019, 63min, 數電影的人) is a documentary showcasing the fascinating experience of collectors and restoration personnel racing against time. Self produced by Taiwan Film Institute (TFI, 國家電影中心), a foundation set up by the government to preserve Taiwan's film heritage, the film unveils the mystery of the preservation and collection tasks of the TFI archive. Filmed over two years, 'Archiving Time' takes the audience through how films are acquired, preserved and restored at our vaults and restoration lab. In addition to documenting the everyday life of those who work at the archive, it also reflects upon the ruthlessness of time and age.

This workshop will begin with an investigation into the intertwining histories of experimental film (rooted in the materiality of celluloid) and video art (rooted primarily in sculpture) and their intersection in today’s contemporary hybrid nonfiction cinematic/art practice.

A section of the lecture will be devoted to creative writing as a means to develop a critical discourse between the poetics of individual experience, representation of truth, the concept of point of view, the objective/subjective paradox, and the dynamic forces of context.

Science of the Word, Part I

Curated by: Jheanelle Brown

July 28, 2020 at 2:00pm PST

Post-screening conversation with Stella Rae Binion, Jésus Hilario-Reyes, and Leah Solomon

Inspired by Jamaican cultural theorist Sylvia Wynter’s Science of the Word, the proposition that the study of the word should condition the study of nature, this program presents films and videos from emerging filmmakers and artists who bridge language and the sonic to contend with both terrestrial and cosmic rupture. The filmmakers and artists presented embody their moving image works with other disciplines, namely poetry and performance, in pursuit of a grounded examination of self.

*Please note: all films/videos contain onscreen text and intertitles, but not captions.

**Check email for full details and Zoom link**

Open to all Film/Video students!

Please join us for a very special conversation and presentation by core FDP faculty member, Lee Anne Schmitt, who will be sharing selections of short work including William's Lake (2018) and The Farnsworth Score (made in collaboration with musician Rob Mazurek), as well as a new short work, as of yet untitled. She will also share thoughts on her process and footage from works in progress, including parts of Evidence, the last in a series of feature length documentaries about political thought in the USA and, so that i may come back, an experimental portrait of trauma and narrative that revolves around the case of Mary Bell who, at age 10, was convicted of murdering two smaller boys from her council flats.

Lee Anne is an artist and filmmaker based in Los Angeles interested in political thought, personal experience and the land. Much of her work involves 16mm filmmaking placed in landscape, objects and the traces of political systems left upon them.

Her projects have addressed American exceptionalism, the logic of utility and labor, gestures of kindness and refusal, racial violence, cowboyism, trauma and narrative and the efficacy of solitude.

Lee Anne has exhibited widely at venues that include MoMA NY, the Getty Museum, RedCat Theater, Northwest Film Society, Centre Pompidou and festivals such as Viennale, CPH/DOX, Oberhausen, Rotterdam, BAFICI and FID Marseilles. Schmitt is a recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship and grants from Creative Capital and the Graham Foundation.
