    Evolution and Life of the Mind, Body, and Medium
    Curated by Brenda Contreras and Mallary Abel

    We are born, we grow, we experience a world of our own perceptions. We wonder who we’re becoming, we are influenced and we experiment. We become responsible for how we develop. We can change and reshape who we are and what we know by the powers we grant ourselves. This Cut and Run series focuses on cycles of minds, bodies, and filmstrips. Each work represents a perspective of itself as one, in contrast to others. Experience a cinematic evolution through cycles of the mind, body, and medium in this montage from filmmakers throughout the world.

    Prolific American artist and filmmaker Robert Breer was pivotal in merging cinema and collage, mechanics and sculpture.

    “A founding member of the American avant-garde, Robert Breer (b.1926) has been working at the forefront of experimental animation for over fifty years. The son of an inventor and engineer, Breer’s continued experimentation with a range of film and animation techniques has drawn from his deep knowledge of early cinema and cinematographic technologies. Breer is celebrated not only for his remarkable line and live action techniques, but also for fabulous collage films and his dazzling use of single-frame photography.” (Harvard Film Archive)

  • West End Salon Series: The Films of Myron Ort

    By on

    Neti neti neti (Myron Ort, 2009)West End Salon Series: The Films of Myron Ort
    Friday, August 20th, 20h
    West End Salon Series
    602 Wilson St., Santa Rosa, California, 95401, USA

    The program consists of ten short films completed within the last couple of years. They range from 2 minutes to 19 minutes in length.  One of the films was shot at last year’s Handcar Regatta with a hand-crank 35mm movie camera from the 1920s. This footage became a canvas on which other colors and patterns were added to create a film collage/montage with photographic images from the event peaking through the hand-painted and hand -printed layers.  Other films range from the non-referential to the obscurely referential to the humorously referential. You wouldn’t know it from these notes, but I have a sense of humor. All films, unless otherwise noted, shown as digital transfers from full frame “super” 35mm.

    Programme:

    - Strip Film One 2 min.
    - Phantom Ore 4 min.
    - Tamper Oh No 7 min.
    - Strip Film II 3 min.
    - A Poem Thorn 9 min.
    - A Prone Moth 3 min. (35mm film projection via antique silent projector)
    - Strip Film III 5.5 min.
    - Regatta 9 min.

    Brief Intermission

    - TNX UB aka "Ye Olde Bughouse" 6.5 minutes
    - Neti Neti 19 min. silent

    Total running time approx. 1 hour.

    About the Artist: I have been making films since the 1960s. I hold an M.A. in Film from San Francisco State University and a B.A. in Physics from the University of California at Berkeley. I taught Film on the Art Department at Sonoma State University throughout the 1970s. I studied painting and drawing privately with Dr. Harold Gregor now considered by many to be the dean of contemporary American landscape painting. I have been a resident of Sonoma County since 1970. During the 60s and 70s my films were distributed by Canyon Cinema. A few won some prizes. I am self taught on the bongo drums and crazy about Afro-Cuban music and Jazz. My work comes out of the tradition of experimental and avant garde filmmaking in which the narrative is supplanted by the perceptual. I am a painter working and innovating in the film medium. The films are produced entirely with analog methods but are transferred to digital for showing. I work in both 16mm and 35mm film and also paint directly onto the film emulsion using a variety of techniques and materials. The visual elements of my films are highly polyrhythmic, coming from my long-time interest in drums and drumming. I feel adding soundtracks, more often than not, is unnecessary, redundant, and even distracting. I am aware of the perceptual challenge while viewing images progressing at speeds anywhere from 7 to 30 disparate frames per second, but feel confident that this a valid and rewarding art form and one which hopefully will become an acquired taste as it has for me. - Myron Ort

    Breaking Time - A Portrayal In 4 Parts And Three Reels
    Wednesday, August 18th, 20h, 4$
    Massachusetts College of Art, Film Department
    Screening room 1. 621 Huntington Ave. Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA

    In the fall of 1977, I returned to the New Haven area to live with my parents and aunts after being unemployed for a year. I resumed working in my father's gas station and small used-car lot as both a service attendant and driver of cars between New York and New Haven. BREAKING TIME is a four-part work made up of four separate films on three reels. Each film is a complete work itself and may be shown separately. I feel that together they make a different work.

    The return to my home allowed me to look back on the working people and places of my childhood with the eyes of an adult. It was a continual struggle to make a past present and I was only able to complete [the series] after I left the area. The work also reflects my experiences in the past working as a traffic surveyor and the automotive and petroleum base of the culture I grew up in. - Saul Levine

    Programme:

    - Part 1: Mortgage on My Body (1978-1983)
    Stations throughout Connecticut and even New York City. Riding around with my father and back to the gas station.

    - Part 2: Arrested (1977-1983)
    Mainly a portrayal of my father, the blizzard of 1978 and the summer and spring.

    - Parts 3 and 4: Lien on My Soul and Portrait Not a Dream
    Lien on My Soul is a cityscape of New Haven shot from an East Rock park. Includes the 4th of July, a wedding, lovers, bikers, kids - an ecological meditation.
    Portrait Not a Dream: My mother's cry of rage.

    - Whole Note
