THE SECOND OF THREE PROGRAMMES FROM ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES, NEW YORK

For this very special series of screenings, we are pleased and proud to invite Andrew Lampert who will be here in person to introduce all the shows. We present an amazing and eclectic collection; from the art scenes of 60s and 80s New York through the Cinema of Transgression to the Unessential dustbins of time. Miss this at your peril! See also the screening on 26th October 20.30.

Bringing together an eclectic mix of Americana, from New York to Los Angeles, these recent preservations cover many bases : 70s road movie, structural film, transgressional cinema and a little known gem. A once-only chance to see these magnificent prints.

Chewing Madeleine Gekiere (1978, 6 minutes, 16mm)
A little-known, structurally minded gem from painter Madeliene Gekiere, who was inspired to start making films in her early 50s.
Preserved by AFA with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Incontinence: A Diarrectic Flow Of Mismatches Manuel DeLanda (1978, 16mm, 18 min.)
An optically-printed opus featuring a very surprise appearance by Professor Mamboozoo (painter Joe Coleman). DeLanda’s iconic celluloid works remain among the most innovative, abrasive, and hypnotic films produced in the 70s and early 80s. DeLanda’s movies have a highbrow philosophical tinge, lowbrow wit, and punk rock style.
Preserved by AFA with the support from the National Film Preservation Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation .

Inferrential Current Paul Sharits (1971, 8 minutes, 16mm)
“A mapping of an image of the linear passage of “16mm film frames” and “emulsion scratches” onto an actual 16mm film strip (the unperceived film “print”) / the aural word “miscellaneous” is extended to a length of eight minutes by serial fragmentation, looping, staggering and overlaying / a variational but non-developmental strand thru time. / Dedicated to Lynda Benglis.” — Paul Sharits

You Killed Me First Richard Kern (1985, 12 minutes, super 8 to 16mm)
The eternal struggle between teenagers and parents, the violence of puberty, the hilarity of it all. A notorious short and a significant work of the mid-80s Cinema of Transgression movement. Starring the pitch-perfect David Wojnarowicz, Karen Finley and Lung Leg.
Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with the support from the Andy Warhol Foundation .

The United States Of America Bette Gordon + James Benning (1975, 27 minutes, 16mm.)
A true masterpiece of 70s cinema, more remarkable today than ever before. A conceptual bicentennial film dealing with spatial and temporal relationships between two travelers, their car, and the geographic, political, and social changes from New York to Los Angeles. The space within each frame is at the same time continuous and elliptical.
