FRACTURED FAIRYTALES curated by Bradley Eros and Brian Frye Chick Strand Loose Ends (1979), 24 min. Johannes Rosenberger Subcutan (1988), 20 min. Esther Shavatsy Bedtime Story (1981), 6 min. Leslie Thorton Adynata (1983), 30 min. Dietmar Brehm The Murder Mystery (1992), 18 min. Dan Woodruff Fragment From Unidentified Lost Horror Film, 2 min. “A man is only a particle inserted in unstable and entangled wholes. These wholes are composed in personal life in the form of multiple possibilities, staring with a knowledge that is crossed like a threshold—and the existence of the particle can in no way be isolated from this composition, which agitates it in the midst of a whirlwind of ephemerids. This extreme instability of connections alone permits one to introduce, as puerile but convenient illusion a representation of isolated existence turning in on itself.” —Georges Bataille total running time: 100 min. |

| MATERIAL MEDITATIONS OR RETINAL JOY curated by Bradley Eros and Brian Frye Larry Gottheim Fog Line (1970), 11 min. “It is a small but perfect film”—Jonas Mekas Barry Gerson Translucent Appearances (1975), 22 min. Joyce Wieland Cat Food (1967-68), 13 min. Larry Gottheim Barn Rushes (1971) 34 min. The metaphysical significance of the seriality of the phenomenal world is expressed metaphorically in the form of the Eternal Return.

The ineffable leaves its mark most plainly in this, its material residue. total running time: 79 min. |

Wednesday, MARCH 17, 1999, Anthology Film Archives, 9 PM: |
| FILMS BY MALCOLM LE GRICE curated by Bradley Eros and Brian Frye Berlin Horse (1970), 7 min. Blackbird Descending (Tense Alignment) (1977), 110 min. Two rarely seen films by Malcolm LeGrice, one of the key figures in the English materialist film movement. Blackbird Descending, his feature-length film, is an investigation of phenomenal experience. Transforming the banality of everyday life into a mysterious drama of potential events, Blackbird Descending subtly disturbs its casual premises, generating gripping suspense through the barest possible means. total running time: 117 min. |
