    Friday, September 2, 2011 - 19:30
    Rice Studio, Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Bldg, The Banff Centre
    All tickets $15

    Explore the work of visual artist, filmmaker, and author Barbara Hammer - whose prolific career spans four decades and includes more than 80 films. 

    Hammer is hosting this public event to present a synopsis of her films created over four decades before her upcoming Tate Modern Retrospective in London, UK, in February 2012. She will select films from each decade (1960-2010) of her career, showing her movement from the early body-centered lesbian/feminist work of the '60s and '70s through the landscapes of the '80s, into the identity politics of the '90s, and finally issues of beauty and mortality in 2000 and beyond.   She will also read selections from her new book, HAMMER! Making Movies Out of Sex and Life, a memoire and essay collection replete with dozens of unique photographs published a year ago. The book has won both the Triangle Judy Grahn Award for Nonfiction Writing, and the Lambda Literary Award for Memoire and Autobiography.

    Eniaios - Cycle V (Gregory Markopoulos)Temenos 2012
    June 29-July 1, 2012, Lyssaraia, Greece

    The premiere of the sixth, seventh, and eighth orders of Gregory J. Markopoulos's final and culminating film, ENIAIOS, will take place at the Temenos site near Lyssaraia in Arcadia from June 29 through July 1, 2012.   The first five of the twenty-two film orders of ENIAIOS were presented at the same site in 2004 and 2008 to a group of spectators who had traveled from Europe, North & South America and Australia especially for the event. Screenings of ENIAIOS at the Temenos site will continue at intervals as the restoration and printing of the film moves forward.

    Markopoulos wished to create a deeply personal and rewarding cinematic experience for his spectators. He chose the site near Lyssaraia, birthplace of his father, for its natural beauty and conceived the Temenos as a viewing space uniquely in harmony with the film as an instrument of philosophical and psychological revelation.

    Film Forum, 209 West Houston Street, New York, NY

    - Handsworth Songs (John Akomfrah/Black Audio Film Collective, 16mm, 1986, 60 mins)

    In light of the recent waves of social unrest in Britain, we have decided to present a screening of Black Audio Film Collective's seminal essay film Handsworth Songs, which takes the 1985 Birmingham riots as its point of departure.

    "The collective's key work, Handsworth Songs (1986), is a succinct articulation of the dialectic of crisis and difference, and a critical primer - in artistic terms - of transnational post-colonialism. Though Handsworth Songs is an analytical essay on the cultural conditions under which young black men and women in Britain lived, and the racist policing tactics directed against them, the film, produced for Channel Four, did not merely reflect upon the structural violence of Thatcherism. In the aftermath of the protests in Handsworth, the film inhabits a different order of things: it is as much about elsewhere as about Britain.
