New York, 1962–1964: Underground and Experimental Cinema

By Marcos Ortega on Fri, 15/07/2022 - 02:52

Film at Lincoln Center announces New York, 1962–1964: Underground and Experimental Cinema spotlighting the rise of the New American Cinema, running from July 29–August 4.

1962 to 1964 was a pivotal moment in the evolution of American arts and culture, especially in New York City. These years, crucial to the development of Pop, Minimalism, and performance, saw the emergence of a new generation of radical artists, as well as venues that gave their iconoclastic work a home and a context. Movies, meanwhile, were undergoing a transformation of their own: the rise of a truly independent cinema, of works unencumbered by the medium’s aesthetic conventions and commercial imperatives.

Dates:
Friday, July 29, 2022 (All day) to Thursday, August 4, 2022 (All day)
Venue:
The Film Society of Lincoln Center - New York, United States

UnionDocs: Shirley Clarke Tribute

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 27/01/2010 - 15:48
Shirley Clarke Tribute
Saturday, January 30 - 7:30pm
322 Union Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Suggested donation $7

Discussion with filmmakers Donna Cameron, Jonas Mekas (founder of Anthology Film Archives and founding member of The Filmmakers' Coop), and film critic-programmer Cullen Gallagher.

This event is part of a monthly screening series with The Film-Makers’ Cooperative, and focuses on the legacy of American filmmaker Shirley Clarke, thirteen years after her death.

- BRIDGES-GO-ROUND by Shirley Clarke (USA, 1958, 7 minutes, 16mm. Color, Music by Louis & Bebe Barron; Teo Macero)
American filmmaker Shirley Clarke, with whom Cameron worked one-on one from 1987-1990 on their collage portrait work Shirley Clarke in Our Time, created this masterpiece of experimental dance film using Manhattan’s Bridges. In this film Manhattan Island becomes a maypole around which its bridges, detached from moorings, execute a bewitched and beguiling dance. The filmmaker has magically set them dancing to two different music tracks- an electronic score by the Barrons and a jazz score by Teo Macero. Each track affects the viewer’s response to the imagery of the film differently.

- SHIRLEY CLARKE IN OUR TIME by Donna Cameron (USA, 1987-1993,63 minutes, 16mm to Amiga Toaster technology to 1? and betaSP video tape, Color, Sound, New DVD release: 2010)
