This week at Anthology Film Archives:
Audio Vérité:
THE ROSE HOBART VARIATIONS
Our Audio Vérité series usually dips into the copious collection of reel-to-reel recordings and other aural finds that are squirreled away at Anthology. For this very special event we will focus on the fluctuation of sound and image in the work of Joseph Cornell.
We tend to think of films – even avant-garde classics – as having fixed soundtracks, but some are actually quite flexible. Joseph Cornell played records from his collection with his films, occasionally even using different music, so that no two screenings were identical. Working from some of the alternative musical variations outlined in his personal notes, this show will demonstrate some of the possible mutations that exist for his found-footage masterpiece ROSE HOBART (1936). We will also examine the soundtrack suggestions for other of his films.
In addition, rare Cornell-related audio from our vault will be played for the first time. And, we will see and hear Composer-In-Residence John Zorn’s thrilling soundtrack variations on Cornell’s THE MIDNIGHT PARTY, as performed at a live concert at Anthology. Happy Birthday, Joseph Cornell!
This Audio Vérité event is presented with the assistance of Bradley Eros and Jeanne Liotta, researchers of Cornell’s film collection.

UNESSENTIAL CINEMA PRESENTS: WHAT IS ON SHELF # 510?
Anthology’s on-site cold vault contains more than 9,000 reels in all gauges. Essential Cinema prints and elements are kept in alphabetical order; other collections are stored in a variety of ways. But no one knows or remembers what the deal is with the films on shelf #510. Negatives and positives, these cans have languished on our most mysterious of shelves for far too long. Tonight we will witness the unearthing of such whodunits as UNKNOWN NEGATIVE (COLOR) WITH BEES, CARNIVAL, GEORGE WASHINGTON, PLAYGROUND-OUTTAKES and a truly odd reel of hairy, naked Eastern Europeans doing what we hope is performance art. Also on the bill is yet another installment of DOUBLE PROJECTION THEATER. Hope you can make it.

Alexandr Dovzhenko ZVENIGORA
1928, 96 minutes, silent. Dovzhenko’s second film, attacked by Soviet critics for being so beautifully rendered as to actually lessen its political impact, remains today a “cinematic poem” as the director named it.
Saturday, December 16 at 5:00
Alexandr Dovzhenko ARSENAL
1928-29, 87 minutes, silent. One of Dovzhenko’s few completely independent films, from script to screen. ARSENAL is a civil-war epic envisioned in unusual, painterly images: a fallen soldier – drunk on the enemy’s laughing gas – his frozen body still baring its teeth long after the battle and his life are over.
Sunday, December 17 at 5:00
Alexandr Dovzhenko EARTH / ZEMLYA
1929-30, 82 minutes, silent.
A poetic expression of love for both nature and Ukrainian culture by the man who was alternatively branded a deserter by Ukrainians and a Ukrainian nationalist by Russian Soviets. Dovzhenko champions the progression of life, class struggle, and new attitudes for a town changed by a tractor and a fallen hero.
