SUMMARY:Squeaky Wheel's 14th Animation Fest
DESCRIPTION:Aaron Bjork\, Tectonics\, digital video\, 2015\nFriday\, September 1\, 2017\n7:30pm\n@ the Albright-Knox Art Gallery \nFree and open to the public as part of M&T First Fridays. \nSqueaky Wheel’s Animation Fest returns for its 14th year with animations by emerging and established artists from around the world! Designed for ages 6 and up\, this family-friendly affair is an annual showcase culled from a public call for submissions and features some of the most innovative artists working across various media. \nThis year’s 49 minute program will take place once again at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery during M&T First Friday. Demonstrating a wide range of animation methods\, from stop-motion\, hand-drawn works\, pieces made with open source custom software\, analogue video effects\, and more\, the program tells stories about diverse forms of existence and the nature of life. The screening includes works such as a philosophical science fiction film\, a screen-printed life story\, an absurd domestic drama\, and a mysterious trip towards enlightenment\, among others. Throughout the program you will witness all kinds of transformations\, either of life itself or of emotions that lead to surprising outcomes. Bring your family\, bring your friends! \nCurated by Jean Zhu\, Squeaky Wheel’s Spring 2017 Curatorial Intern. Squeaky Wheel’s 14th Animation Fest is generously sponsored by Villa Maria’s Animation Program. \nProgram ~49 minutes \nShip of Fools | Josh Shaffner\n6:00min\, digital\, 2016\nLife on earth through time and space from the present time to 4000 years ahead\, in non-chronological order. The settings change\, humans do not. It’s “a cry for help.” \nWednesday with Goddard | Nicolas Ménard\n4:30min\, digital\, 2016\nA personal quest for spiritual enlightenment leads to romance and despair. \nAdam | Evelyn Jane Ross\n2:27min\, digital\, 2017\nIn the beginning of them\, she created us. She is not the Adam that you’ve known for your whole life. \nBatfish Soup | Amanda Bonaiuto\n4:35min\, digital\, 2016\nWacky relatives give way to mounting tensions with broken dolls\, boiling stew\, and a bang. A fictionalized absurdist film based on memories of freakish childhood visitations. \nLo | Ted Wiggin\n3:10min\, digital\, 2017\nWe must protect this house. \nHeavy Blanket | Cory Feder\n6:57min\, digital\, 2016\nUnderneath the heavy blanket there is a train stopping in all the same places and it is passing between all the known and unknown evils of today and yesterday. Who is to say what evil really is; what makes a train stop in one place over and over again? \nIllusions | Dominica Harrison\n5:22min\, digital\, 2016\nSometimes the most tragic accidents could lead to the happiest endings… Animated beautifully with screen-printing technique. \nHead Cleaner | Emily Pelstring\n7:00min\, digital\, 2015\nHand-drawn and digital animation\, analog video effects\, re-photography and video feedback transform images issuing from an apparently malfunctioning machine. Tongue-in-cheek commentary on entertainment technology’s fraught relationship to individual agency and identity\, and its role in the standardization of expression and behaviour\, underlies a loosely suggested coming-of-age narrative. \nTectonics | Aaron Whitney Bjork\n2:56min\, digital\, 2015\nAn examination of the human life process\, birth–life–death. This video is a collection of Aaron’s signature hand cut vinyl drawings. \nBio of the curator\nJean Zhu (b. Shanghai\, China) is a New York City and Buffalo based artist and recently studying Media Study and Sociology at University at Buffalo.

SUMMARY:Jerichow
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 7\, 2017\n 7pm\n @ Squeaky Wheel\n General $7 | $5 for Squeaky Wheel Members \nFate brings a trio together in Jerichow (2008)\, a small town in eastern Germany plagued by a population exodus and unemployment. An ex-soldier’s encounter with a couple of Turkish descent – the owner of a chain of snack bars and his enigmatic wife – pushes all three over the edge. A sexy\, tightly constructed remake of The Postman Rings Twice (1946). \nA taut\, German-made thriller\, Jerichow adds a bit of European xenophobia to the pulp traditions of passion and betrayal. – Stephen Rea\, Philadelphia Inquirer \nVisit cultivatecinemacircle.com for more info.

SUMMARY:Kathleen Collins' Losing Ground
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 17\, 2017\n7pm\n@ Squeaky Wheel\nGeneral $7 | $5 for Squeaky Wheel Members\nPreceded by Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy-Headed People (1984) by Ayoka Chenzira \n“A NEARLY LOST MASTERWORK” —The New Yorker \n“EFFERVESCENT\, BRAINY\, and SEXY” — The Village Voice \nFunny\, brilliant\, and personal\, Kathleen Collins’ Losing Ground (1982) should have ranked high in the canon of 1980s American independent cinema but was never theatrically released. A key narrative feature written and directed by a black woman\, Collins’ passing at the age of 46 almost meant the films erasure from history\, until the filmmakers daughter and Milestone films set out to restore this vital work telling the story of a marriage of two remarkable people\, both at a crossroads in their lives. Sara (Seret Scott)\, a black professor of philosophy\, is embarking on an intellectual quest to understand “ecstasy” just as her painter husband Victor (Bill Gunn) sets off on a more earthy exploration of joy. Losing Ground is here paired with another key work of 80s black cinema\, the 10 minute animated musical satire Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy-Headed People (1984) by Ayoka Chenzira\, regarding the question of self image for African American women living in a society where beautiful hair is viewed as hair that blows in the wind and lets you be free. Curated by Squeaky Wheel’s Spring 2017 Curatorial Intern Caitlin Margaret Coder who will deliver introductory remarks. Special thanks to Women Make Movies and Milestone Films.

SUMMARY:Yella
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 10\, 2017\n7pm\n@ Squeaky Wheel\nGeneral $7 | $5 for Squeaky Wheel Members\nAs part of Lonely Ghosts: The Early Films of Christian Petzold \n“An enigmatic thriller. The kind of movie that tantalizes the mind.” —Stephen Holden\, The New York Times \n“Narrowly escaping her volatile ex-husband\, Yella (Nina Hoss) flees her small hometown in former East Germany for a new life in the West. She finds a promising job with Philipp\, a handsome business executive with whom an unlikely romance soon blossoms. But just as Yella seems poised to realize her dreams\, she finds herself haunted by buried truths that threaten to destroy her newfound happiness. Christian Petzold’s Yella is a stylish and deliciously suspenseful mystery.” (Cinema Guild) \nCultivate Cinema Circle’s series Lonely Ghosts: The Early Films of Christian Petzold\, highlighting the work of the essential German filmmaker continues with one of his signature works. An unofficial remake of the 1962 film Carnival of Souls\, this is the third time the filmmaker and actor Nina Hoss worked together in their celebrated series of collaborations.

SUMMARY:Visions of an Island: Sky Hopinka in Person
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 15\n 7pm\n @ Squeaky Wheel\n General $7 | Free for Squeaky Wheel Members\n Presentation followed by a live Q&A with the artist \n“Staggeringly beautiful” – The New Yorker \n“The searching\, striking digital films of Sky Hopinka are complex formal arrangements\, conceptually and aesthetically dense\, characterized by an intricate layering of word and image. But they are also wellsprings of beauty and mystery\, filled with surprising confluences of speech and song\, color and motion.” – ArtForum \nMilwaukee based artist Sky Hopinka will present a screening of three of his films at Squeaky Wheel. Sky Hopinka’s lyrical\, gorgeous works approach both his own heritage and history as a Ho-Chunk Nation national and descendent of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians\, as well as the reverberations of the the continuing injustices that confront indigenous peoples. Included in this screening are his award winning films Jaaji Approx. (2015) that addresses the filmmakers relationship with his father\, wawa (2014)\, an experimental documentary that features speakers of Chinuk Wawa\, a Native American language from the Pacific Northwest\, Visions of an Island (2016) which was recently selected to be part of the 2017 Whitney Biennial. The artist will also present a new in-progress work titled Dislocation Blues made during his travels to Standing Rock over the past year. Co-presented with PLASMA at The Department of Media Study\, SUNY at Buffalo. \nProgram:\nTotal length: ~78min \n \nVisions of an Island \n15min / 2016\nAn Unangam Tunuu elder describes cliffs and summits\, drifting birds\, and deserted shores. A group of students and teachers play and invent games revitalizing their language. A visitor wanders in a quixotic chronicling of earthly and supernal terrain. These visions offer glimpses of an island in the center of the Bering Sea. \nwawa \n6min / 2014\nFeaturing speakers of Chinuk Wawa\, a Native American language from the Pacific Northwest\, Wawa begins slowly\, patterning various forms of documentary and ethnography. Quickly\, the patterns tangle and become confused and commingled\, while translating and transmuting ideas of cultural identity\, language\, and history. \n \nJáaji Approx.\n7:36min / 2015\nLogging and approximating a relationship between audio recordings of my father and videos gathered of the landscapes we have both separately traversed. The initial distance between the logger and the recordings\, of recollections and of songs\, new and traditional\, narrows while the images become an expanding semblance of filial affect. Jáaji is a near translation for directly addressing a father in the Hočak language. \n \nAnti-Objects\, or Space Without Path or Boundary\n13:05 min / 2017\n“The individual is not an autonomous\, solitary object but a thing of uncertain extent\, with ambiguous boundaries. So too is matter\, which loses much of its allure the moment it is reduced to an object\, shorn of its viscosity\, pressure and density. Both subject and matter resist their reduction into objects. Everything is interconnected and intertwined.” —– Kengo Kuma\nThe title of this video\, taken from the texts of the architect Kengo Kuma\, suggests a way of looking at everything as “interconnected and intertwined”\, as are the historical and the present\, the tool and the artifact. Images and representations of two structures in the Portland Metropolitan Area that have direct and complicated connections to the Chinookan people who inhabit(ed) the land are woven with audio tapes of one of the last speakers of chinuk wawa\, the Chinookan creole\, chinuk wawa. These localities of matter resist their reduction into objects\, and call anew for space and time given to wandering as a deliberate act and the empowerment of shared utility.\nCommissioned by Design Week Portland\, for publication in February\, 2017. \n \nI’ll Remember You as You Were\, Not as What You’ll Become\n12:32 min / 2016\nAn elegy to Diane Burns on the shapes of mortality\, and being\, and the forms the transcendent spirit takes while descending upon landscapes of life and death. A place for new mythologies to syncopate with deterritorialized movement and song\, reifying old routes of reincarnation. Where resignation gives hope for another opportunity\, another form\, for a return to the vicissitudes of the living and all their refractions. \n“I’m from Oklahoma I ain’t got no one to call my own. \nIf you will be my honey\, I will be your sugar pie way hi ya \nway ya hi ya way ya hi yo” \n-Diane Burns (1957-2006) \nDislocation Blues\n~18 min / In-progress\nAn incomplete and imperfect portrait of reflections from Standing Rock.

SUMMARY:Black Celebration + in complete world
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 22\, 2017\n 7pm\n @ Squeaky Wheel\n General $7 | Free for Squeaky Wheel Members \nNEW DATE: Please note that this screening has been postponed due to the weather; it will take place on Wednesday\, March 22nd. \nSqueaky Wheel is excited to present a pairing of films that variously aim to question common political assumptions and their reverberations\, with a pairing of Tony Cokes’ 1988 short film Black Celebration and Shelly Silver’s 2008 documentary in complete world. Special thanks to Shelly Silver and Electronic Arts Intermix. Guest curated by Squeaky Wheel’s Fall 2016 curatorial intern Bella Clemente.\n\n\nBlack Celebration\, Tony Cokes\, 1988\, 17 minutes\nin complete world\, Shelly Silver\, 2008\, 55 minutes\n\n\n\n\nTony Cokes’ Black Celebration pairs up newsreel footage of the 1960s race riots with textual commentary and music from the 1980s\, when the film was made. Depeche Mode lyrics are printed on the screen\, referencing the song that named the film.  Cokes intent for Black Celebration was to give a social critique of the 1960s\, questioning the reasons behind the urban riots\, and suggesting that they were partially due to a rebellion against capitalism. Instead of showing this footage with its corresponding newsreel audio\, music and text eliminate the portrayal of these riots as “criminal or irrational”.  The newsreels show the riots in Los Angeles\, Boston\, Newark\, and Detroit\, and display burning fires\, policemen and military tanks in a stark black-and-white contrast.  Cokes changes the viewer’s impression of the race riots by clashing violent visuals with pop sounds of the 80s.\n\n\n\n“Do you feel like you make enough money?”\n“Does global warming exist?”\nThese are some of the questions you will hear during Shelly Silver’s in complete world. Shot before the election of Barack Obama in 2008\, Shelly Silver found herself “angry and disillusioned with the US\, and more importantly\, NYC” and wanted to see and feel what others were experiencing at that time. The interviews carefully woven together in this piece were filmed in a heated time\, and the questions Silver asks to her subjects are ones she struggled to answer herself. Two very important features come out over the course of these interviews. The first is the spectrum of answers for each question\, and how well they match up with the appearance of the speakers. Is the person young? A woman? Well-dressed? What is the color of their skin?  How do these physical characteristics line up with assumed answers? Second\, Silver leaves each question open and remains silent and respective\, allowing her subjects to develop their perspectives past talking points. Silver’s questions in in complete world range from the philosophical to the political\, creating a broad survey of thoughts and beliefs that are messier than they might first appear.  – Bella Clemente\n\n*\n\n\nBella Clemente is a D.C./Rochester transplant living in Buffalo.

SUMMARY:Nude on the Moon
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 18\, 2016\n7pm\n@ Squeaky Wheel\nGeneral $7 | Free for Squeaky Wheel Members\nWith introductory remarks via Skype by Peggy Ahwesh \n\n“[Doris Wishman’s] films offer the prerequisite weirdness of the genre but they have a seedy underlying resonance of the fear of and hostility toward women in our world which Doris describes in her own profound and tawdry way. From my perspective\, she maintains a unique combination of proto-feminism (although she would strongly disagree with this term) and pop cultural criticism in the design of the films which is a consistent and pure look at what it means to be female.” – Peggy Ahwesh\n\n\n \n\n\nThis 1961 nudie-cutie classic by “the Queen of Sexploitation” Doris Wishman (1912-2002)\, portrays a rich scientist who organizes an expedition to the moon\, and discovers that it’s full of nude women. We are excited to present this film as the final event in our sci-fi series OTHERWORLDS\, with introductory remarks via Skype by filmmaker Peggy Ahwesh\, a long-time Doris Wishman fan.\n\n\n \n\n\nLimited copies of a “The Films of Doris Wishman”\, a zine by Peggy Ahwesh\, will be on sale. \n\n\n \n\n\n“Boasting sensational titles like Nude on the Moon\, Bad Girls Go to Hell\, and Keyholes Are for Peeping\, New York City-born director Doris Wishman became the queen of sexploitation filmmaking during the 1960s and ‘70s — one of the only women creating movies in the softcore subgenre that played the grindhouse theaters in cities across America. A self-taught writer and director\, Wishman became famous for her nudist camp romps and melodramatic B-film aesthetic… Unconventional editing choices\, including cutaways to paintings and ashtrays\, overdubbed dialogue\, gratuitous violence and nudity\, and the exploitation of innocent women aplenty\, a Doris Wishman film is titillating\, odd\, and endearing at the same time. Her films exist on their own terms.” – Alison Natasi\, Flavorwire\n\n\n \n\n\nPeggy Ahwesh was born in 1954. She received her B.F.A. from Antioch College. Her work has been widely shown\, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, San Francisco; the Balie Theater\, Amsterdam; the Filmmuseum\, Frankfurt; the Rotterdam International Film Festival\, Rotterdam; Museu d’Art Contemporani Barcelona (MACBA)\, Barcelona; the Wexner Center for the Arts\, Columbus\, Ohio; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; and The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, among other venues. Her numerous awards include an Alpert Award in the Arts\, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship\, and grants from the Jerome Foundation\, Creative Capital\, and the New York State Council on the Arts. She teaches at Bard College\, Annandale-on-Hudson\, New York.\n \n\nAbout The Series \nFrom cybernetic futures to voyages across space and time\, our Fall/Winter screening series OTHERWORLDS focuses on alternative science fiction\, including experimental films\, rare documentaries\, and cult classics.

SUMMARY:The Filmballad of Mamadada
DESCRIPTION:This event has a special introduction by celebrated Dada scholars Elizabeth Otto & Sarah Bay-Cheng\, a live performance by experimental poet Mike Basinski\, and post-screening filmmaker Skype w/ Lily Benson and Cassandra Guan. \nThe Filmballad of MAMADADA tells the story of Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven\, unsung member of the New York Dada movement. A poet\, artist\, model\, and public provocateur\, the Baroness defied the social and artistic codes of her time. As with many of her female contemporaries\, the Baroness’s cultural legacy has been obscured\, and in some instances appropriated into the oeuvres of better known male peers. Accounts of her personal life are scarce and often conjectural. \nAccording to recent scholarship\, the Baroness was born Else Hildegard Plötz in 1874. At age 18\, she ran away from her middle-class Prussian home and survived as a vaudeville performer in Berlin. After a series of bohemian lovers and three failed marriages\, she found herself penniless in New York City\, a widow with the impressive title of Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven. The Baroness was notorious for wearing outlandish costumes and cross-dressing in public\, and her overtly sexual poetry caused such scandal that she was blacklisted from the most avant-garde publications. She pioneered an assemblage aesthetic\, making sculptures and clothing from everyday objects. Many believe she gave Marcel Duchamp the porcelain urinal that later became Fountain. An important figurehead for the fledgling Dada movement in America\, the Baroness was a close friend of avant-garde luminaries such as Djuna Barnes\, Berenice Abbot\, William Carlos Williams\, and Ezra Pound. \nThe Baroness died under mysterious circumstances in 1927. In 2012\, Lily Benson and Cassandra Guan recruited a group of over fifty artists and filmmakers to produce a collective biopic about her life. Participants were invited to interpret specific biographical fragments and create filmic adaptations on their own terms. The results varied wildly in style and content: from a re-contextualized Jane Fonda interview\, to an animation depicting the effects of syphilis\, to a reconstruction of a lost 16mm film by Duchamp and Man Ray. Benson and Guan then assembled the vignettes into a feature-length film. Unfolding like an exquisite corpse\, the final narrative reveals a gloriously conflicted historical portrait. A myriad of contemporary feminist voices confront the viewer with more questions than answers. Directed by Lily Benson and Cassandra Guan. (2013\, runtime 109 minutes) \nThe Filmballad of Mamadada (trailer) from Cassandra Guan on Vimeo. \n\nThis event is part of the monthly SqueakEasy Film Series\, featuring films that highlight outlaws of popular culture and encourages individuals to challenge the status quo. \n

SUMMARY:Pride
DESCRIPTION:This film takes place at Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center. Launched in 2013\, REEL Queer is more than just film showings–it’s a community! Now in its second season\, REEL Queer has broadened its community partnerships to include Squeaky Wheel and the Pride Center of WNY\, in addition to maintaining its preexisting relationship with founding partner Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center. \n\nPride\, based on a true story\, depicts a group of lesbian and gay activists in Maggie Thathcher’s UK who raised money to help families affected by the British miners’ strike in 1984\, at the outset of what would become the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign. The National Union of Mineworkers was reluctant to accept the group’s support due to the union’s public relations worries about being openly associated with a gay group\, so the activists instead decided to take their donations directly to Onllwyn\, a small mining village in Wales\, resulting in an alliance between the two communities. Directed by Matthew Warchus. (2014\, runtime 120 minutes) \nThe conversation continues after the screening with a panel discussion facilitated by long-time LGBTQ activist and founding member of REEL Queer Paul Morgan. \nPost-screening Panelists include:\nColin Dabkowski\, Arts Critic\, The Buffalo News\nDr. Ruth Meyerowitz\, Professor of American Studies/Feminist Labor Historian\, SUNY at Buffalo\nMark Higgins\, Board Member\, New York State Workers Compensation Board \nThis licensed nontheatrical public screening is sponsored by both the Pride Center of Western New York and the WNY Area Labor Federation.
