TODAY at 1pm in the Bijou, Steve Ecclesine is joining EAVA to talk about professional/career development! Steve is very experienced in the industry as a producer, and he will touch on topics such as: contracts and protecting your intellectual property, the VOD revolution, and pitching your original ideas to a marketable industry. Join us!

Stephen Chiodo has helped organize this as an answer to the absence of professional development/business courses in EA, so make you come and bring all your friends!!

About Steve:
Steve Ecclesine's first job in Hollywood was working as an assistant film editor for Roger & Gene Corman, followed by two and a half years as Orson Welle’s film editor. From 1977-1980, Steve became the king of tax shelter TV and produced 540 half-hour, multi-camera episodes of a variety of musical, comedic, kids’, and documentary series that appeared in first-run syndication and early cable TV. He directed over half of these shows. One of his biggest challenges was to product five original, feature-length films under the Creature Features banner in six months of production time for HBO/Screen Gems/Sony. The films - She Creature, Day the World Ended, How to Make a Monster, Earth vs. The Spider, and Teenage Caveman - featured creatures from four-time Academy Award winner Stan Winston, and starred actors such as Dan Akroyd, Randy Quaid, and Nastassja Kinski. He also produced a trio of films for Warner Home Video under the Raw Feed banner, Otis, Rest Stop II, and Alien Raiders, and two films in New Mexico for Odd Lot Entertainment, Wanted: Undead or Alive and Organizm.

Steve authored the book, So You Wanna Be A Producer? which is being used in dozens of film schools around the country.

Horse Money (2014, Pedro Costa) | 104 min

A mesmerizing odyssey into the real, imagined and nightmarish memories of the elderly Ventura, a Cape Verdean immigrant living in Lisbon. The time is now, a numbing and timeless present of hospital stays, bureaucratic questioning, and wandering through remembered spaces... and suddenly it is also then, the mid '70s and the time of Portugal's Carnation Revolution, when Ventura got into a knife fight with his friend Joaquim. Premiered in Locarno in 2014.

9pm
Palms (1993, Artur Aristakisyan) | 140 min

“Intensely poetic, provocative account of the poor and destitute in Chisinau (formerly Kishinev), the capital of Moldova.” The author, Artur Aristakisyan, addresses his yet unborn son. Yet unborn, and most likely 'to be scooped out of the womb'. Artur offers him a path to salvation, the path of sacred 'madness'. We do not know whether the son ever existed or whether the extraordinary stories Artur relates, are true. But if they are not, is one capable of inventing them? The film's 'heroes' are a woman who has been lying on the ground for forty years, a disabled young man who has promised not to move from his place until the Kingdom of God comes, a dumb simpleton who ran away from an asylum, a man with no legs moving through the sea of people on his trolley, a collector of clothes of the dead, a hunchbacked old woman keeping the head of her beloved hangman in a box, a man living in an attic with birds, a blind family living from begging, an old man collecting a pile of rubbish so that it can reach the sky.'

Based on Japanese author Haruki Murakami’s 1992 short story Barn Burning, Lee Chang-dong’s Palme d’Or-nominated sixth feature is a poetic, haunting and mysterious look at working-class anxiety and male rage in contemporary South Korean urban life.

“With its striking juxtapositions between the rural and urban, embodied by Jong-su (Yoo Ah-in) and Ben (Steven Yeun), Burning rejects the glamorization of Asian wealth and the notion of a universal Asian identity, as recently depicted onscreen in Crazy Rich Asians. Instead, Lee concentrates his film on the extreme class inequality in South Korea, underscoring the economic desperation that destroys families, ravages homes, and consumes dispossessed individuals.” — Irene Hsu & Soo Ji Lee, The Atlantic

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.

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.

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

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

Medicine for Melancholy, Barry Jenkins, 2009, 88 min.
Two African American twenty-somethings have a one-night stand. And a night they barely remember becomes a day they will never forget. A tale of sex, race, bicycles and modern urban life. Deals with the challenge of being a minority in a rapidly gentrifying San Francisco.

An Oversimplification of Her Beauty, Terence Nance, 2013, 84 min.
With arresting insight, vulnerability, and a delightful sense of humor, An Oversimplification of Her Beauty utilizes a mix of live action and diverse forms of animation, a collage of documentary and fantasy, and interplay of effects, voices, and music to capture the relationship between Terence and a lovely young woman (Namik Minter) as it teeters on the divide between platonic and romantic.

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.

Dear fellow CalArtians,

I am pleased to invite the campus community to the first meeting of the CalArts Assembly, the main forum for all constituents of the Institute (current Faculty, Staff, and Students) to gather together and share, discuss, research, and analyze issues of import affecting all of CalArts.

Following on the work that we did together on organizing and establishing this new and unique system of shared governance last academic year, I hope you will now join me at our inaugural meeting and continue the robust conversation about issues that affect all of us on campus.

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

See you there!

Sincerely,
Ravi S. Rajan
