∆

“Every bit as mind-altering as its subjects.”- Oscar Goff, Boston Hassle

“Much of the film layers eviscerated visuals into a vaudevillian media kaleidoscope.” - Marc Weidenbaum, *The Wire*

In 1978, David "The Weatherman" Wills, Richard Lyons and Mark Hosler formed Negativland, which quickly became an absurd and noisy multimedia world without boundaries, ownership or privacy.

Negativland's complex chaos of plunderphonics poses both serious and silly questions about the nature of sound, media, technology, control, propaganda, power and perception in the global village. Negativland continue to be pioneers of art in the electric age, and the medium reveals that any message is all in our heads.

~

Negativland is an American experimental music band that originated in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1970s. The core of the band consists of Mark Hosler, David Wills, Peter Conheim and Jon Leidecker. Negativland has released a number of albums ranging from pure sound collage to more musical expositions. They perform at 2220 Arts on Friday night, Sept 18.

With revealing new interviews and never-before-heard archival audio, including a newly uncovered interview with Stanley Kubrick himself, Stanley brings listeners behind the scenes of Kubrick’s creative process, capturing the obsessive precision, artistic ambition and unforgettable imagery that cemented his legacy as one of the most influential filmmakers in history.

**Producers**: Albert Maysles,  David Maysles

This landmark documentary from Albert and David Maysles follows the bitter rivalry of four door-to-door salesmen working tirelessly to sell gold-embossed bibles . Times are tough for this hard-living quartet, who spend their days traveling through small-town America, trying their best to peddle gold-leaf Bibles to an apathetic crowd of lower-middle-class housewives and elderly couples. One of the most important and illuminating documentaries of the mid-20th-century, *Salesman* showed the world a realism it had never seen and a pair of brothers who would change the documentary landscape forever.

Join us in the microcinema for one of the best films of the year and a masterwork of international cinema &#8211; Rafael Manuel&#8217;s phenomenally composed deadpan social satire *Filipiñana*. With jaw-dropping shot composition, immaculate color coding, a biting and satiric wit, and a slow deliberateness that builds to a shocking ending, this is a dazzler on another level with class consciousness to boot. If Ruben Ostlund and Wes Anderson had a Filipino baby, it still wouldn&#8217;t be as good as *Filipiñana*! Don&#8217;t miss your chance to see this stunner on a big screen!

Amid stifling heat and pervasive drought, Isabel (Jorrybell Agoto), a 17-year-old Ilokana from the rural north, works at a posh country club outside Manila, lining up golf balls for powerful men to drive into the verdant horizon. New to the job, she wanders the immaculate grounds sampling its luxuries as members, including an industrialist and his expatriate niece, the club president and his pampered wife, and a slew of Chinese tourists, engage in a complex dance with the club’s doting and subservient staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director, Dr. Palanca (Teroy Guzman). The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club, her native Philippines, and her own past.

Filipiñana

**Screenwriters**: Scott Frank,  Jon Cohen from the novella by Philip K. Dick

**Producers**: Gerald R. Molen,  Bonnie Curtis,  Walter F. Parkes,  Jan de Bont

An all-too prescient science fiction blockbuster of the surveillance state gone awry, Steven Spielberg&#8217;s adaptation of Philip K. Dick is a dystopian thriller for this and any time! Set in Washington D.C. in 2054, where police utilize a psychic technology to arrest and convict murderers before they commit their crime. Tom Cruise plays the head of this Precrime unit and is himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn&#8217;t even met. With the blockbuster action you&#8217;ve come to expect from Spielberg, and the dystopian cynicism of Philip K. Dick, *Minority Report* remains a big screen banger with a brain and a message that only gets more timely as our own surveillance state increases!

Join us in the microcinema for Elena Oxman&#8217;s festival darling, the beautifully touching triumph *Outerlands* starring Asia Kate Dillon in a stirring performance. Cass juggles jobs as a nanny, restaurant server, and party drug dealer to make ends meet and pay for their tiny San Francisco apartment. After a one night stand with Kalli, a co-worker they have a crush on, Cass agrees to watch her 11-year-old daughter, Ari, while she goes out of town. But as days pass without word from Kalli, Cass and Ari form a bond that spirals Cass back to their own difficult childhood and the pain they’ve been running from. With beautiful cinematography and an exploration of a San Francisco seldom celebrated, this little charmer is a warm and wonderful treat.

Get ready for all the gonzo musical weirdness of this Beatles-tuned, Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees helmed cult classic of epic proportions! This musical, set to late-period Beatles hits, recounts the story of Sgt. Pepper&#8217;s famed musical group, which found success during World War I bringing music to weary soldiers in the field. The band&#8217;s leader has since died, and now it&#8217;s up to his grandson, Billy Shears (Peter Frampton), to carry on the group&#8217;s traditions. To this end, he recruits the Henderson brothers (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, Maurice Gibb) to help him defend the group&#8217;s magic instruments from nefarious crook B.D. Hoffler. It&#8217;s a bubblegum campfest head trip that is best experienced on the big screen with a crowd!

*In Swedish with English subtitles.*

When Bill, an awkward middle-aged father, volunteers to chaperone a weekend trip to a remote archipelago in the hope of reconnecting with his daughter – he finds himself in an uneasy friendship with the two other dad-chaperones who are his exact opposites. As the children start acting out and the group dynamics start to slide into cruel humor and bullying, the three men will revert to their worst selves, revealing in the process the monsters we all are and the monsters we create in the process.
Perhaps the most uncomfortable, stomach-turning film since the original SPEAK NO EVIL, Alex Schulman’s slow release of dread will test the most iron-willed of audiences. Once seen, it will never be forgotten and will certainly inspire discussion and debate for long after.

Nadim Tabet’s haunting exploration of the recent history of Lebanon is a fantastic, haunting affair that uses friction between Syria and Lebanon in the 1990s as a stepping-off point for a classic ghost story that fizzles with unease. Deftly resonating with the current increasing hostility towards immigrants, the film uses a haunting as a central motif to explore a landscape that is both hostile and stuck in the past. With incredible central performances at its core and a smart and sparkling script, IN THIS DARKNESS I SEE YOU is for all fans of old-fashioned ghost stories that sticks with you all the way into the dark.

Join us in the microcinema to rediscover the immense legacy of groundbreaking lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer through Brydie O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s phenomenal and award-winning portrait, *Barbara Forever!*

*Barbara Forever* explores the films, archive, and ongoing cultural impact of experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer, revealing her ingenious lifelong artistic effort to create and record lesbian histories, personal and societal. Through her own images and words, the film centers Hammer as a prism of the cultural ecosystems around her – through the feminist and queer movements in 1970s San Francisco, the male-dominated New York art world of the 1980s, the New Queer Cinema movement of the 1990s, and expanded LGBTQIA+ representation in art and culture in the 2000s. 

Driven by her canon of over eighty films, a vast collection of unreleased archival materials – hundreds of hours of footage, personal photographs and ephemera, and extensive audio interviews – *Barbara Forever* tells Barbara Hammer’s story through her own voice and visual perspective, making her the expert on her life, vision, and motivations. 

Barbara Hammer’s films break taboos around female sexuality, aging, illness, and queer love, often using her own body as a site of exploration and political power. Through the course of the film, she shows us that the personal is not only political, the personal is historical. Looking to Barbara Hammer as one of the first filmmakers to put a full lesbian life on screen that wasn’t there before, her work becomes a blueprint for a new generation of queer and radical artists to write their own histories into existence. This exploration of both Barbara Hammer’s life, work, archive, and her ongoing legacy provides an urgent, necessary story of queer life, feminist history, and American cinema.

**Screenwriter**: Jim Jarmusch

**Producer:** Jeremy Thomas, Reinhard Brundig

Jim Jarmusch takes on the undead with his signature offbeat style in this utterly gorgeous romance of literally undying love. A depressed musician (Tom Hiddleston) reunites with his lover (Tilda Swinton) in the desolate streets of Detroit. Though their romance has endured several centuries, it is tested by the arrival of her capricious and unpredictable younger sister. Lush, stylish, and endlessly hip, this is one vampire tale that sets its own pace, humor, and creativity.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Ten has just been released from prison and must register as a sex offender – but a broken-down van and encounters with many obstacles in the form of other LA residents will test his resolve and force us to ask ourselves if anyone can ever be forgiven.
Perhaps the most daring and risky film in the program, TEN WILL is Max DeFalco’s feature debut and a statement of intent as bold and daring as that of Sean Baker or the Safdie brothers – unravelling at a breakneck speed with an incredible array of interesting and unusual characters (a lot of them cast right off the streets of the city!), this is a film designed to make you uncomfortable, to make you squirm and yet somehow retain some of the most humane beats any story can hope for.
Please be warned – viewer discretion is definitely advised.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

When overenthusiastic artist Matt’s engagement proposition is turned down, his whole world collapses – unable to deal with the downfall, he moves into a sailboat and starts sorting through his home movie videos, encountering a younger version of himself that begins to confirm his worst fears: that he may be a loser, all told through a droll, incisive voiceover.
Fans of John Wilson and Nathan Fielder, take note: there’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Matt Barats. Mining the tradition of uneasy humour with moments of genuine self-reflection, ANCHORS AWEIGH is a laugh-out-loud funny essay film that can change beats on the spin of a dime with an excruciating level of skill that requires someone with a really keen sense to manage.

PATHETIC FALLACY

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

If you go down to the woods today… Get the gang together, grab a few beers and go off the beaten track – what better way to spend the summer break? You know it’s not going to end well.

But our carefree young twenty-somethings Ziggy (Grace Van Dien), Rich, Katie, Kimberly and Fitz don’t know that. They have the whole summer, and their whole lives, ahead of them. And so they cross a barbed wire fence to go camping and lake swimming off-grid in unexplored forest – what could possibly go wrong…

Pretty soon they lose their way, tempers flare and the friends realize how completely alone they are. What’s more: the forest, under the spell of some strange animus, is starting to come alive around them. Even the ground seems to have its own will, opening and swallowing whole anything and anyone who dares step foot upon it. Every trembling step could be their last.

From the Producers who brought you 47 METERS DOWN and FALL, and filmmakers Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, THE SWALLOW is an entertaining riot from start to finish – an ingenious, innovative spin on the survival thriller, and a visceral, skin-crawling feast for genre hounds.

The vanishing of an editor of an occult magazine sets in motion an investigation by a freelance writer and a colleague – soon they will be mired in a mystery that engulfs the Kinki region: missing children, hysteria, hauntings and much, much more.
Director Koji Shiraishi defined what true fear was with his entry into the found-footage-documentary scene with NOROI and he comes back this year with this new entry that is designed with a single purpose in mind: to terrify the audience beyond belief and then some. Trust me when I say that once KINKI ends, darkness will seem like a much more terrifying place than it did before the screening – see it with a friend and make sure you don’t walk together.

Bill, along with his two best friends, is struggling to make sense of life post-graduation. Unable to find a job, he applies for any opportunity that might be a breakthrough – which is exactly how he ends up attending a job interview at a very strange office that seems to be populated by weird characters. Soon, the trio realizes that aliens have indeed landed in Glasgow and the only thing in their nefarious way is their gang of friends and one slightly unhinged conspiracy theorist.
Channeling the manic energy of early Jackson (especially BAD TASTE) but with a particular, unique Scottish streak, WELCOME TO G-TOWN is a no-budget statement of purpose devised and delivered by the very young McQuaid Brothers. If you’re a fan of DIY cinema of the most inventive kind, the twins have got a treat for you in this wicked, singular genre-defying beauty of a movie.

Join Vidiots in remembering the great **Sam Neill** with an especially twisted screening of John Carpenter&#8217;s meta-horror classic ***In The Mouth of Madness!***

*Do you read Sutter Cane?* One of horror master John Carpenter&#8217;s best films outside of the 1980s, this prophetic Lovecraftian mind-bender is a nightmarish mystery that draws you into parallel universes of horror. Sam Neill plays an officious insurance investigator who is brought in to investigate the strange disappearance of Sutter Cane, the country&#8217;s most popular horror author. As he digs into the mystery, he discovers that Cane&#8217;s writing is causing a literary psychosis that&#8217;s spreading to all who read his twisted tales and destroying humanity and even reality. A film made to be seen in a theater (to enhance its metaness), *In the Mouth of Madness* is one of the best horror films on the 1990s and a perfect vehicle to show off both Carpenter and Neill&#8217;s ranges!

Before STRANGER THINGS combined science fiction, Spielberg-ian thrills and 1980s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the high-water mark with DONNIE DARKO. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium. Described by its director as “THE CATCHER IN THE RYE as told by Philip K. Dick,” DONNIE DARKO stars Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross and Noah Wyle.

What is AIDS, now? 
Or is it which AIDS? 
What is the now of AIDS and art? 
Or is it the why of art & AIDS? 
Which AIDS. Why art. Now. 
Ask it again. It won’t hold still.Artist and AIDS activist **Julie Tolentino** and artist and trans theorist **Eva Hayward** ask these questions — through art, through writing, through an open conversation about the unquestionable. Opening with artworks and readings from both Tolentino and Hayward, they tangle with the invitation to share image and language side by side. Hate (erotic) and void (deselection) are some of their keywords. To further decipher these terms, the artists reflect on their own responses to invitations surrounding AIDS and aesthetics, including terms such as ruination and archive. 

Hosted by ICA LA and as a conclusion to the inaugural year of the [Artist-in-Residence](https://www.theicala.org/en/residencies/air) (AIR) Program, this evening will be introduced and engaged by UCLA English professor and Performance Studies scholar, **Summer Kim Lee**.

When a documentary team set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a young girl, events soon take an unexpected turn, leading the filmmakers down an increasingly dark and horrifying path.
Sean Hogan continues his hypnotizing exploration of the uncanny, after scaring us witless with TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST with this hybrid documentary fiction film that takes genre tropes and turns them upside down to craft something unique and singular. As a filmmaker who understands the nuance of a fright impeccably well, Hogan here delves deep into the modern world, exploring what happens when the malevolent ancient entities encounter digital highways. Full of emotion and unease powerful enough to fuel an entire cinema, THE DARK GETS IN is exceptional storytelling designed to make you sleep with the lights on.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

A Deaf backpacker finds himself hunted by something not human in the depths of the Black Forest, with all his friends already dead. His escape will lead him to a cabin with a farmer who speaks no English. Now the men must decide if each is a threat or a help and also contend with the thing beyond the door, which will stop at nothing to destroy them.
Britt Falardeau’s exquisite debut is a real display of filmmaking skill and verve – eschewing any spoken dialogue for different modes of visual storytelling and conjuring an environment of dread and wonder, she is paired with two extraordinary actors – Harold Foxx and Daniel Novick – who both deliver exceptional performances. Beyond just an exercise in horror, HINTER is a truly sublime piece of cinema that also displays an extraordinary heart.
