Anyone with questions about Winter Session is invited to attend. Because Winter Session is a new program for School of Film/Video students (MFAs, BFAs), faculty and staff, we are hopeful that this session might be helpful in answering existing questions or dealing with any as yet unanticipated circumstances.

Gary Mairs, faculty in the Program in Film & Video and the Film Directing Program, will screen his recent feature Memory/Lies. Completed in 2017, the film compiles five interrelated short films made over a period of ten years which, when shown together, tell a single story. The film stars Amy Seimetz and David Nordstrom, and features Program in Film Directing faculty Suanne Spoke. The shorts were written by School of Film/Video faculty James Benning and Lee Anne Schmitt, alum Theron Patterson and late film critic Tom Block.

Free and Open to the entire Institute

A first of two student-curated programs to be presented during the Winter Break in Film Today, Our House explores ideas around the question of what is film, today? by taking two parallel roads (that will, of course, cross at infinity). One of the paths goes inside and out of the house to apprehend everything that is in it, visible and invisible. The other one bumps into a series of beings mistaken as objects, and to this they resist. The selection for this session brings an eclectic group of filmmakers including Octavio Cortázar, Kevin Jerome Everson, Claudrena N. Harold, Oskar Fischinger, Laida Lertxundi, Ted Fendt, Lilli Carré and other artists TBA.

Free and Open to the entire Institute

Trails of Departure

With categories ranging from poetic animation and experimental film to performative video, the second of the two student-curated programs to be presented during the Winter Break in Film Today ‘Trails of Departure’ focuses on post-colonial diasporic perspectives in North America and a cross section of attempts in departing from Western canonical filmmaking.

Films by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Sky Hopinka, Caroline Key, Adam Khalil and Zack Khalil, Barbara McCullough, Alisi Telengut and Noor Abed.

All computer labs will be CLOSED this Sunday, January 27 @ 7-10AM for urgent maintenance.

As part of this maintenance, all Scratch drives for animation labs will be wiped (A108, A109, A221N, F103, and F105).

After the maintenance is completed, all student, faculty, and staff folders on FVCentral will be renamed to replace any spaces with an underscore. For example, the folder for 'John Doe' will be changed to 'John_Doe'.

The impact should be minimal. However, if you are working on any projects that involve media stored in your FVCentral folder, you may have to relink media.

If you experience any trouble or need assistance relinking your media, please email FVTechSupport@calarts.edu.

Thank you for patience. Have a great weekend.

Bernadette, Duncan Campbell, 2008, 38 min

Bernadette presents an unravelling, open-ended story of the female Irish dissident and political activist, Bernadette Devlin. Duncan Campbell is interested in fusing documentary and fiction in order to assess both the subject matter and the mode of communicating it.

7:55pm
In Order Not to be Here, Deborah Stratman, 2002, 33 min

An uncompromising look at the ways privacy, safety, convenience and surveillance determine our environment. Shot entirely at night, the film confronts the hermetic nature of white-collar communities, dissecting the fear behind contemporary suburban design. An isolation-based fear (protect us from people not like us). A fear of irregularity (eat at McDonalds, you know what to expect). A fear of thought (turn on the television). A fear of self (don’t stop moving). By examining evacuated suburban and corporate landscapes, the film reveals a peculiarly 21st century hollowness… an emptiness born of our collective faith in safety and technology. This is a new genre of horror movie, attempting suburban locations as states of mind.

8:45pm
The Human Surge, Eduardo Williams, 2016, 100 min

'The Human Surge is [a] global journey that jumps without warning from Argentina to the Philippines to Mozambique; a road movie that fuses fiction and documentary for a portrait of today's youth at a time of economic uncertainty and illusory hyper-connection.

Buenos Aires - Exe, 25 years old, has just lost his job and is not looking for another one. His neighbors and friends seem as odd to him as they always do. Online, he meets Alf, a boy from Mozambique who is also bored with his job and who is about to follow Archie, another boy who has run away into the jungle. Through the dense vegetation of the forest, Archie tracks ants back to their nest. One of them wanders off course and comes across Canh, a Filipino, sitting on top of a giant heap of earth and who is about to go back to his strange, beautiful home town and his mundane job.' --Grasshopper Films

Wild Beast projection
FLAG by Shan Wu

Tuesday, May 14, 8:00pm-11:30pm

Flag is a sculptural-video installation investigating nationality and politics through the precarious political status of Taiwan. A flag of Taiwan (Republic of China) hung with more than a hundred of Chinese knots stands between a projector and the projecting wall, casting a shadow on the background. A shadow of the flag flying in the video contradicts with the overloading flag-sculpture. Flag examines the Chinese government’s use of the connection of shared “Chinese culture” as a way to legitimize its intrusion and interference of Taiwan’s liberty and international visibility.

The project is going to be at Mark Taper Courtyard (the green part in front of Wild beast) and projecting on the big door of Wild beast. People can see it from the main entrance but I would encourage people to come down to the lawn area. The time is Tuesday May 14 from 8pm to 11:30pm.

Takashi Makino (b. 1978 ) is a Tokyo-based experimental filmmaker widely considered to be one of the most influential Japanese moving-image artists of his generation. After graduating from the cinema department at Nihon University College of Art, he spent time honing his skills in the London-based studio of the Quay Brothers before moving back to Japan. His unique working process usually involves capturing representational footage of humans, nature, and urban life in various formats and then transforming these images radically during the editing stage. Through a process of layering, superimposition, and other formal manipulations, these concrete images blend together into pulsating visual fields of organic abstraction in his finished works.

In her fantastical installations comprising videos, paintings, and sculptures Trulee Hall celebrates spectacle and artifice. Recalling campy supernatural and horror films, Infestation (2019) features a fluorescent serpentine creature writhing its way out of a drain, in and out of windows and fire escapes like a parasite infesting its host. Hall’s companion videos depicting otherworldly and mundane characters invading the backlot alternate between clay animation, CGI, and live-action, shifting realities in a hypnotic,
mind-bending moving collage. The exaggerated portrayals of archetypal and fantastical characters point to codified social and gender roles, exposing various degrees of artificiality inherent in media production and the fundamental disconnections at the heart of the modern human experience.

Trulee Hall (b. 1976, Atlanta, GA) lives and works in Los Angeles. Her work has been included in recent group exhibitions including Pussy, King of the Pirates, Maccarone Gallery (2018), BOO, Michael Benevento Los Angeles (2018); and On the Verge of an Image: Considering Marjorie Keller, organized by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) at the Gamble House, Pasadena, CA (2016) In addition, her videos have been featured in numerous film screening programs including REDCAT—Roy and Edna Cal Arts Theater (2017), the Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2007). Her work will be featured in a solo exhibition at Maccarone Gallery, Los Angeles, in January 2019. Hall received her BFA from the Atlanta College of Art in 1999 and her MFA from CalArts in 2006.

The CalArts Assembly will be held in the Main Gallery on Thursday, Sept. 26 from 4 pm – 6 pm.

Sincerely,

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

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.

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.
