TUESDAYS & WEDNESDAYS THROUGHOUT APRIL
THIS WEEK:
Tuesday 18 April 8:00
PROGRAM 5A revelatory show of optical printing effects, disrupted and disturbed images, sound and image interference and some top-notch verbal jousting. De Landa will be on hand to introduce his rarely screened RAW NERVES and to discuss the creation of this now infamous film. This is a very rare screening as the print has been taken out of distribution.
Manuel De Landa
RAW NERVES: A LACANIAN THRILLER (1980, 30 minutes, 16mm)
Bill Brand SPLIT DECISION (1979, 15 minutes, 16mm)
Bill Brand BEFORE THE FACT (1974, 6 minutes, 16mm)
Hollis Frampton CRITICAL MASS (HAPAX LEGOMENA III) (1971, 25.5 minutes, 16mm)
Total running time: ca. 90 minutes.
Wednesday 19 April 8:00
PROGRAM 6A wildly diverse program that moves between the realms of performance, punk rock and patricide. The JFK footage was originally shot for the Warren Commission investigation and was, many years later, preserved by Brand. Seen out of context, it is a mystifying document that raises more questions than it answers. The other works in this program speak to ideas of the ritual, mysticism and transformation. Also included is a guided tour through various documentaries that Bill has worked on, as well as outtakes and mishaps that have happened along the way. Expect some very special surprises.
Martha Colburn HEY TIGER (1996, 2.5 minutes, Super 8 on 16mm)

RARE RIVETTE!
Jacques Rivette's
OUT 1: SPECTRE, his condensation and reconsideration ofthe little-seen 13-hour
OUT 1: NOLI ME TANGERE, can be considered assomething like the little brother of the Holy Grail. While still clocking inexcess of four hours, SPECTRE reduces the lengthy performative andimprovisational aspects of the original to concentrate on the mysterious andconspiratorial underpinnings of the plot. A not-to-be-missed cinema event.
DUE TO THE EXTREME RARITY OF THIS FILM, IDEAL SUBTITLED PRINTS COULD NOT BEFOUND. This print, generously loaned for exhibition, is the best subtitled print available, but is in poor quality. (Our own inspection found that the film is in relatively good shape, the only flaw being it is rather faded and pink). We consider our screening to be in the spirit of keeping this remarkable film in circulation at any cost...Special thanks to Todd Wiener of the UCLA Film & Television Archive andDanielle Rosencranz of Sunshine Productions.
OUT 1: SPECTRE1971-72, 255 minutes, 16mm. In French with English subtitles. WithJean-Pierre Léaud, Juliet Berto, Bulle Ogier, Michel Lonsdale, andBernadette Lafont.“In spring 1970, Rivette shot approximately thirty hours of improvisationwith over three dozen actors. Originally intended to be shown as a TV serial‘in eight episodes lasting an hour and a half each’,
OUT 1: NOLI ME TANGERE was rejected by the ORTF and never properly released… After it became clearthat he could not get this film shown on TV or released theatrically,Rivette spent the better part of a year editing a shorter, quite differentfilm out of this material; which eventually opened in Paris in March 1974.- Jonathan Rosenbaum
Friday, April 21 through Sunday, April 23 at 7:00.
JEAN RENOIR: LE PATRON: CINÉASTES DE NOTRE TEMPS PART 3: LA RÈGLE ET L’EXCEPTION1961, 76 minutes, 16mm. In French with English subtitles.In the third part of this extensive documentary, Rivette and Renoir discuss,at length, the conception and production of Renoir’s most celebrated film,THE RULES OF THE GAME.–Saturday, April 22 & Sunday, April 23 at 5:00.
STARRING TAYLOR MEAD: THE ANTON PERICH MOVIES & RON RICE
In the early 70s, Anton Perich produced and directed approximately twenty video movies starring Taylor Mead for his weekly cable TV show. When the movies were repeatedly censored by the cable broadcast network, they created a major scandal within the TV world of that time. Six of these movies will be shown at Anthology in this special program.As an accompaniment to these unique works, we are presenting two classic films by Ron Rice that propelled Taylor to his first taste of underground “stardom”, including our recently preserved print of THE FLOWER THIEF.
PROGRAM 1
DR. POPE (1973, 35 minutes)Taylor is a Manhattan shrink and the Pope in Rome, at the same time. Susan Blond and Tinkerbelle play his most famous patients, a notorious gossip columnist Rona Barrett and Jackie O.
LA DOLCE VITA GRANDE (1972, 30 minutes)Taylor plays Carlo, a famous Italian film producer, and Cyrinda Foxe plays his wife Sophia, a famous Italian movie star. Sophia, who has fired his driver Ninno, has to re-hire the driver in order to keep Carlo sexually excited so he can impregnate Sophia. Also featuring: Bebe Buell, Donna Jordan, Oliviero Toscany, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Octavio Escali.
FRANKENSTINO (1973, 31 minutes)Taylor plays Dr. Frankenstein at work in his laboratory surrounded by his numerous assistants and monsters (Wayne County, Robert Starr and others). – Friday, April 21 at 8:00.
PROGRAM 2 STAR CANDIDATE (1973, 35 minutes)Taylor plays a famous movie star running to be the next NYC mayor, with his campaign financially supported by cardboard company boss (Danny Fields). Tinkerbelle plays his secretary, Susan Blond his wife, Wayne County his gay son, and Sami Melange his bodyguard/lover. If elected mayor, Taylor promises to cut down every tree in Central Park and construct a 16-lane highway in the middle of Manhattan.
DR. TINKERBELLE (1972, 30 minutes)Taylor plays a bored decadent billionaire who, to the dismay of his wife (Susan Blond) and his doctor (Tinkerbelle), brings home a young French man and a chanteuse from the Cannes Film Festival. With the doctor's help, the wife tries various schemes to get rid of the husband and inherit his wealth and new boyfriend.
CANDY AND DADDY (1972, 35 minutes)Taylor plays a pervert and increasingly drunk father of gorgeous blonde minx Candy Darling, who, with her boyfriend (Craig Vandenburg), has just thrown a wild party and totally destroyed their Central Park West apartment.–
Saturday, April 22 at 8:00.Ron Rice
THE FLOWER THIEF 1960, 75 minutes. Starring Taylor Mead. Though dying before the age of thirty, having made only a few films, Ron Rice nevertheless left behind the mark of his strong, intuitive gifts as a filmmaker. A high school dropout and restless drifter, Rice initially made his way to film when he purchased an 8mm camera to record bicycle races. In San Francisco he met Taylor Mead, which led to the production of THE FLOWER THIEF, with Mead as its off-beat hero. In its great feeling for spontaneous illogicality, the film not only defied the professional conventions of slick narrative, but seemed to capture the spirit of a rebellious generation.– Thursday, April 20 at 7:30 & Sunday, April 23 at 6:00. Ron Rice
THE QUEEN OF SHEBA MEETS THE ATOM MAN 1963/1982, 109 minutes.“The film describes, poetically, a way of living. The film is a protest which is violent, childish, and sincere - a protest against an industrial world based on the cycle of production and consumption.” - Alberto MoraviaTaylor plays the Atom Man, so-named for his insignificance, and Winifred Bryan is the rather, ahem, imposing Queen of Sheba in Rice's final work, unfinished at the time of his death but given a definitive edit by Taylor. – Saturday, April 22 at 5:30 & Sunday, April 23 at 8:00.
