  • Other Cinema; Aesthetics of Analysis: KEVIN B. LEE + HARUN FAROCKI’s PARALLEL

    One of the most visible and articulate “video essayists” alive today, the SF-born Lee demonstrates both his Theory and his Practice of the newest genre within film criticism. Instead of merely writing a text on a work of cinema, today’s media-savvy critics might now make their points on time-based platforms through audiovisual “quotations” from the movie itself. Kevin introduces a half-dozen of his own 7-min. faves (including ones on Tarantino and Spielberg), before giving the screen over to an undisputed master of the Essay Film, the late Harun Farocki. As the very first Scholar-in-Residence at Berlin‘s new Farocki Institute, it is Kevin‘s–and our–pleasure to premiere one of Harun‘s last pieces, a 40-min. “formal” critique of video games!

  • OTHER CINEMA: VANESSA RENWICK + SAM GREEN + MELINDA STONE +

    Tonight’s stars align! Cosmic forces effect the intersection of four vets of cross-country film-touring, materializing simultaneously at our 992 address: Vanessa Renwick, the prolific Portland pilgrim delivering Vanloads of nuanced non-fiction to Western cities for decades, rolls in with a half-hour of psycho-geographies, as well as the Cali premiere of “Next Level Fucked Up”, her 20-min. museum-show documentation. A second-half All-Star game that includes Sam Green’s “N-Judah”, Danny Plotnick’s “Tour Tips”, Doug Katelus’ “Van Oh Van!”, Ellie Vanderlip’s “The Human Motor”, and Melinda Stone & Igor Vamos’ “Photo Spots”.
