An Evening of Student Films, Spring '64
5/1/1964

Description:
Third Annual "An Evening of Student Films" Produced by the UCLA Motion Picture Division Presented by the Committee on Fine Arts Productions and the Department of Theater Arts As has been said in these program notes before, there is no such thing as a "national film school" in this country, and there is no organized industry scheme for training future film-makers. However, about a dozen universities offer film training to the B.A. or M.A. level. The UCLA program is one of these. Although teaching methods vary, a film school is only as good as the students and faculty it attracts. UCLA concentrates on developing students through the actual experience of film-making and, since a film is not finished until it is shown to an audience, these annual screenings were organized to provide at least some of the student film-makers with an opportunity for a public viewing of their work. In one such showing annually there is time for only a election. In the future these showings will have to be more frequent. The selection tonight is from the various workshops conducted in the motion picture division, providing a cross-section of the year's work. Each film is based on on original material - the script is the work of the film's director who is thus, in the true sense, the author of his film. Students are responsible for all the technical work of production. The staff acts in an advisory capacity only. The beginning workshop films are mostly shot in one day with sound added later. The intermediate and advanced workshops have schedules ranging upwards from three days. This evening's program will be introduced by Professor Richard Hawkins, Head of the film curriculum. [Source: Program Notes, 1964]

New Film Things: An Evening of Student Films
5/21/1965-5/22/1965

Description:
The Fifth Semi-Annual Evening of Student Films Produced by the UCLA Motion Picture Division Presented by the Department of Theater Arts and the Committee on Fine Arts Productions The preview, or first public showing of a film, has long been an important part of the film-making process. Films are made to be seen by an audience and sooner or later, film and audience should meet face to face. The films presented this evening have not been shown before; they have been seen only by the students and staff of the Motion Picture Division. Your response to the these films will let the film-makers know where they have succeeded and where they have failed. For a student of film-making, the first public showing of his film is perhaps the most sophisticated lesson of all. The public showing of student films was first introduced at UCLA four years ago. Originally, one evening was scheduled once each year; later, one evening twice a year; and now, because of increasing audience interest and increasing production, it has become necessary to schedule two evenings twice a year. As a consequence of this growth, all of the films listed in the program could not be scheduled in any one evening. A representative two-hour cross-section will be presented each evening, but there will be some differences in the titles included. The films are listed in alphabetical order.

My brother Mike and I have been making 8 mm films since the age of 13, when we filmed the spectacular saga of The Wet Destruction of the Atlantic Empire. It featured a cast of 3, with elaborate costuming borrowed from the living room windows, plus the added realism of having been filmed on location in Bronx Park. 'For all of its five minutes of running time, it was a rousing success and spurred us on to create more celluloids. This led to the filming of A Tub Named Desire, a story of naked vengeance in white porcelain- G.K. [Source: Cinematheque 16 Program Notes, 1966]

Rare species closely related to the peacock. This film captures her ruthless and sinister capacities. It celebrates her complexity, her bizarre mating rites, her beauty and her dark compulsions.

Silenetly unveiled before you, a vision of one of the most incredible human beings the world has known. A woman who lived at the holy extreme edge of her life. Dreyer's film is considered one of the 10 best films ever made.

Curator: William Moritz

Description:
Lord Shiva, The Magician, wakes. A convocation of Theurgists in the guise of figures from mythology bearing gifts: The Scarlet Woman, Whore of Heaven, smokes a big fat joint; Astarte of the Moon brings the wings of snow: Pan bestows the bunch of Bacchus; Hecate offers the Sacred Mushroom, Yage, Wormwood Brew. The vintage of Hecate is poured: Pan's cup is poisoned by Lord Shiva. The Orgia ensues: a Magick masquerade party at which Pan is the prize. Lady Kali blesses the rites of the Children of the Light as Lord Shiva invokes the Godhead with the formula, 'Force and Fire.' Dedicated to the Few, and to Aleister Crowley; and to the Crowned and Conquering Child. [Source: Theatre Vanguard Program Notes, 1974]

Hollis Frampton's Hapax Legomena
11/5/1974

Location: Theatre Vanguard
9014 Melrose Avenue , Los Angeles, California 90069

Curator: William Moritz

Description:
'Hapax Legomena are literally 'things said once.' The scholarly jargon refers to those words that occur only a single time in the entire oeuvre of an author, or in a whole literature. The title brackets a cycle of six films, of which only five will be shown this evening. These six make up a single work composed of detachable parts, each of which may be seen separately for its own qualities. There is no denying a tincture of oblique autobiography in this work, but it is barely my own. Rather, it is the biography of the sensibility of a persona of my own invention; I feel myself, most often, but a feeble shadow of this simulacrum, some of whose engaging traits I wish I could emulate more successfully. Nonetheless, surprisingly, I find myself largely, in sympathy with these films from the past 13 months. Concerns I had long seen as latent in 'his' work begin to emerge with unexpected resonances. For instance, if the superheated atmosphere of ZORNS LEMMA has apparently cooled somewhat (but this might just be a side-effect of the return to black and white!), nevertheless this new cycle seems to suggest, through overall construction, something the earlier film, with its aggressive packing of information into thousands of shots, could not: I mean that it suggests to me a possibility for separating formal amplitude from the excessive formal candor that has so often accompanied it in recent years. Of course I am not suggesting that such a suggestion could amount to a revelation for anyone but myself. I'm sure that for most persons it must seem... along with these films, which engendered it... thoroughly ordinary. ' -Hollis Frampton [Source: Theatre Vanguard Program Notes, 1974]

Hard Core by Walter DeMaria and Quick Billy by Bruce Baillie
11/12/1974

Location: Theatre Vanguard
9014 Melrose Avenue , Los Angeles, California 90069

Curator: William Moritz

Description:
'Filmed in the Black Rock desert of Northern Nevada, the film is about a long shootout between a younger man with a pistol and an older man with a rifle. The vast panorama of the desert provides the backdrop for the encounter of the two men, its suspense heightened by the tightly controlled photography of both the spectacular landscape and the action we witness. Hard Core may be called a minimal-suspense-western with an underlying politico-historical theme. The threatening crescendo of oceans and drums (played by de Maria) underscores the starkly visual drama contained within the circular, bounded field of our observation, and its silent comment on war and violence in man.' - Art + CinemaThe essential experience of transformation, between Life and Death, death and birth, or rebirth. In four reels, the first three adapted from the Bardo Thodol, The Tibetan Book of the Dead. The fourth reel is the form of a black and white one-reeler Western summarizing the material of the first three reels, which are color and abstract [Source: Theatre Vanguard Program Notes, 1974]

Yvonne Rainer's Film About A Woman Who
3/11/1975

Location: Theatre Vanguard
9014 Melrose Avenue , Los Angeles, California 90069

Description:
Film About A Woman Who... is a multi-layered composite of images, text, music, and speech that deal with oppositions of emotional life set off against the appearances of everyday behavior. The story (of a passage across an unspecified length and order of time) is sustained by the intermittent narration of two off-screen voices (a man's and a woman's never clearly identified with the on-screen characters) that read, in the present tense, discreet paragraphs about the experiences of someone referred to only as 'she.' On screen two men and two women- in varying combinations and in a variety of indoor and outdoor locations - 'play out' the valences of their interdependencies in word and gesture, gaze and stillness in- to use Louise Brooks phrase- 'unhinged fragments of reality' further fragmented by distortions in speed, time, placement of optics, and bodily orientations. Correspondence between image and narration at any given moment runs a gamut between metaphoric cohesion and calculated incongruity. Subtitles and intertitles function as both counterpoint and connective tissue between sequences. The subjective, obsessive eye of the camera combined with the dry impersonal tone of the narration creates a constant flux of tension, absurdity, intense drama and pathos. This, Ms. Rainer's second feature-length film, reveals a growing virtuosity in the use of parataxic techniques to control and mold a content that in other contexts has been so overbearing.

The Films of Walter Ungerer
4/29/1975

Location: Theatre Vanguard
9014 Melrose Avenue , Los Angeles, California 90069

Curator: Douglas Edwards

Description:
'I cannot say how much your work means to me: It is so seldom that I see anything in cinema that excites me, that speaks to me on a deep level, that has material in it that I wish I had devised. Your films have stirred me, given me an urgency to my own imagination, opened doors. I am full of admiration and gratitude' James Broughton 'Walter Ungerer's MEET ME, JESUS was the most successful 'experimental' film shown (at the Ann Arbor Film Festival); choosing for his themes nothing less than birth-death and the corruption of knowledge, Ungerer turned what could have been portentous or preachy into a funny and finally moving experience' Richarld Corliss, COMMONWEAL'Since one function of the awards at any film festival is to focus attention upon some special aspects of the medium, I have chosen SOLSTICE one of my two major prizes. It is imaginative, daring, and definitely not calculated as an audience pleaser; it tests the edge of filmic expression by literally forcing the spectator into new ways of looking' Arthur Knight, judge Midwest Film Festival 'From the several films I have seen (particularly SOLSTICE and TERRIBLE MOTHER), Walter Ungerer comes across to me as an extraordinarily gifted, enigmatic, individual filmartist, with a fine visual compositional sense, a mature intellectual literary component, a sure control of his medium, and an uncanny knack of investing the most ordinary setting and circumstances with a more natural reality in the service of saying something subtle but important about human life.'

An Evening of Contemporary Black Films
6/22/1975

Location: Scottish Rites Auditorium
4357 Wilshire Boulevard

Curators: Alonzo Davis Fritz Goode

Description:
This evening of selected black films will show the wide range of contemporary films, including independent, student, documentary, children's and clips from feature films. In addition there will be previews of new films to be released. Our special gust will be Hayward Coleman, the internationally acclaimed black mime. This film festival is made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; The Planning Group Incorporated; and Brockman Gallery Productions. We have brought together people from many facets of an expanding industry for blacks. Let this gathering be the embryo. If nourished with more opportunities to come together and with more collective though, it will evolve into a unified force, the energy from which can re-shape the often diffused image of black man into a distinctive and well-defined reflection in film - Michele Maddox There were several problems with getting this festival off the ground... But through it all came a new friend, Fritz-nandez Goode. I would like to take this time to thank him and his family for hours in the night we spent at his home viewing, discussing and deciding which films, who would help, how much time, programing, co-ordinating and editing. We hope you enjoyed this festival and look forward to presenting it again for you next year. - Alonzo Davis Thanks for Assistance: Larry Clark, Michael Clark, Julie Dash, Glen Dixon, Pamela Douglas, Bob Gilhoussey, Fritz Goode, Harry Howard, Pamela Jones, Jake McKinney, Joe Phillips, Tony Riddle, Donna Sams, Vincent Tubbs Contributors: Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Company, Jack Pill & Associates/ Tech Camera Rental, The Planning Group Inc.

Curator: Douglas Edwards

Description:
Walter Gutman, a 72 year old retired businessman, has for many years been an active supporter, producer and filmmaker in the New American Cinema. Other films by Mr. Gutman include UNWRAP ME, THE GRAPE DEALER'S DAUGHTER, and CIRCUS GIRL. Of the making of BENEDICT ARNOLD, Mr. Gutman says: 'I learned a great deal about my country during the year I did this film, and of the European world of which it was, and, in fact, still is a part. The people of the times became real and personal and I admired them. They were truly an extraordinary lot--- a combination of physical hardihood and courage with high culture... The film, as it is, is pretty strictly a documentary on Arnold and those intimately connected with him, plus my psychic association with him... As I got into the story of Arnold, I, of course, got more into the story of Arnold, I, of course got more into the story of Washington and I began to realize that he really was the man who held things together. When they called him the father of the country, they were not sentimentalizing-- they were correct. If Arnold's ectoplasm reads this blurb I think it will agree, and if Washington's sees the film, I feel it will think it tells the story reasonably well as it was.'[Source: Theatre Vanguard Program Notes, 1975]

The Films of Richard Myers
10/14/1975

Location: Theatre Vanguard
9014 Melrose Avenue , Los Angeles, California 90069

Curator: Douglas Edwards

Description:
'I regard film as a plastic and time art in which the visuals are the most important aspect. The medium of film deals, first of all, with pictures, forms, structures, images. The word IMAGE presumes a mental activity, perception-memory, the creative action of the imagination realized by the art instrument. Reality filtered by the selectivity of the individual interests and modified by prejudicial perception, an intellectualization process. This combined with similar, contrasting, both forgotten or subconscious and remembered, to become assimilated into the conceptual image which emerges through the camera and editor as a plastic image. Secondly, the medium deals with MOTION, consideration of rhythm, length, progression and the juxtaposition of various time elements. Film is a rhythmic visualization of emotions and ideas.'Richard Myers [Source: Theatre Vanguard Program Notes, 1975]
