SUMMARY:WQRT Rhinestone Country Film Series-True Stories
DESCRIPTION:Music icon David Byrne was inspired by tabloid headlines to make his sole foray into feature-film directing\, an ode to the extraordinariness of ordinary American life and a distillation of what was in his own idiosyncratic mind. The Talking Heads front man plays a visitor to Virgil\, Texas\, who introduces us to the citizens of the town during preparations for its Celebration of Specialness. As shot by cinematographer Ed Lachman\, Texas becomes a hyperrealistic late-capitalist landscape of endless vistas\, shopping malls\, and prefab metal buildings. In True Stories\, Byrne uses his songs to stitch together pop iconography\, voodoo rituals\, and a singular variety show—all in the service of uncovering the rich mysteries that lurk under the surface of everyday experience. \nPresented by Upland Brewing Company.

SUMMARY:Kader Attia- The Body’s Legacies (Part 1: The Objects)
DESCRIPTION:Attia’s recent film The Body’s Legacies (Part 1: The Objects) is an extensive account of testimonies by academics\, scholars\, collectors\, and museum directors from Canada\, the US\, Ivory Coast\, and many other locations\, relating the histories behind bodies and artifacts from the world over. \nThis screening is part of the Bauhaus Imaginista: Collected Research exhibition. \nProject partners:\nGoethe-Institut\, Bauhaus Kooperation\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt. \nFunded by:\nDie Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien\, Auswärtiges Amt\, Kulturstiftung des Bundes. \nOn the occasion of 100 Jahre bauhaus (100 Years of Bauhaus). \nKader Attia (b. 1970\, France)\, grew up in Paris and in Algeria. Preceding his studies at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Duperré and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris\, and at Escola Massana\, Centre d’Art i Disseny in Barcelona\, he spent several years in Congo and in South America. \nThe experience with these different cultures\, the histories of which over centuries have been characterised by rich trading traditions\, colonialism and multi-ethnic societies\, has fostered Kader Attia’s intercultural and interdisciplinary approach of research. For many years\, he has been exploring the perspective that societies have on their history\, especially as regards experiences of deprivation and suppression\, violence and loss\, and how this affects the evolving of nations and individuals — each of them being connected to collective memory. \nHis socio-cultural research has led Kader Attia to the notion of Repair\, a concept he has been developing philosophically in his writings and symbolically in his oeuvre as a visual artist. With the principle of Repair being a constant in nature — thus also in humanity —\, any system\, social institution or cultural tradition can be considered as an infinite process of Repair\, which is closely linked to loss and wounds\, to recuperation and re-appropriation. Repair reaches far beyond the subject and connects the individual to gender\, philosophy\, science\, and architecture\, and also involves it in evolutionary processes in nature\, culture\, myth and history. \nIn 2016\, Kader Attia founded La Colonie\, a space in Paris to share ideas and to provide an agora for vivid discussion. Focussing on decolonialisation not only of peoples but also of knowledge\, attitudes and practices\, it aspires to de-compartmentalise knowledge by a trans-cultural\, trans-disciplinary and trans-generational approach. Driven by the urgency of social and cultural reparations\, it aims to reunite which has been shattered\, or drift apart. \nKader Attia’s work has been shown in  group shows and biennials such as the 12thShanghai Biennial; the 12th Gwangju Biennial; the 12th Manifesta\, Palermo; the 57th Venice Biennial; dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel; Met Breuer\, New York; Kunsthalle Wien; MoMA\, New York; Tate Modern\, London; Centre Pompidou\, Paris; or The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York — just to name a few. Notable solo exhibitions include “The Museum of Emotion”\, The Hayward Gallery\, London; “Scars Remind Us that Our Past is Real”\, Fundacio Joan Miro\, Barcelona; “Roots also grow in concrete”\, MacVal in Vitry-sur-Seine; „The Field of Emotion“\, The Power Plant\, Toronto; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sydney; “Repairing the Invisible”\, SMAK\, Ghent; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sydney; “Sacrifice and Harmony”\, Museum für Moderne Kunst\, Frankfurt; “The Injuries are Here”\, Musée Cantonal des Beaux Arts de Lausanne; “Contre Nature”\, Beirut Art Center; “Continuum of Repair: The Light of Jacob’s Ladder”\, Whitechapel Gallery\, London; and KW Institute for Contemporary Art\, Berlin. \nIn 2016\, Kader Attia was awarded with the Marcel Duchamp Prize\, followed by the Prize of the Miró Foundation\, Barcelona\, and the Yanghyun Art Prize\, Seoul\, in 2017.

SUMMARY:WQRT Rhinestone Country Presents-Smokey & The Bandit
DESCRIPTION:Burt Reynolds\, Sally Field and Jackie Gleason are in high gear and hot water after a cross-country road challenge results in one of the wildest series of car chases and crashes ever filmed! The Bandit (Burt Reynolds)\, a maverick racecar driver\, makes an 80\,000-dollar bet that he can transport a shipment of Coors beer from Texarkana\, TX\, to Atlanta within 28 hours. It’s important to note that in 1977\, it was illegal to sell the Coors brand east of the Mississippi River without a permit; if we don’t note that\, then the plot won’t make sense at times. Already in danger of arrest from redneck lawmen like Buford T. Justice\, Bandit furthers his chances at a stiff jail term when he offers a ride to Carrie\, who hopes to escape her unwanted wedding to Justice’s boy.” ~ Hal Erickson\, Rovi \nPresented by Upland Brewing Company

SUMMARY:Wendelien van Oldenborgh- Two Stones
DESCRIPTION:Two Stones explores the trajectories and ideals of the Bauhaus-trained\, German architect Lotte Stam-Beese and the Caribbean activist and writer Hermina Huiswoud through dialogues and appearances by contemporary protagonists. Both Stam-Beese and Huiswoud spent time working in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s and both ended up being active in the Netherlands after WWII. \nTwo Stones was filmed in the 1930s constructivist district of KhTZ in Kharkiv\, Ukraine\, the first large housing project on which Lotte Stam-Beese worked\, and in Stam-Beese’s celebrated 1950s Pendrecht\, designed during her period as Rotterdam’s main architect / urban planner. \nIn the 1970s\, Hermina Huiswoud was agitating against the Rotterdam housing rule\, which limited Caribbean Dutch inhabitants to settle in any of the city’s districts if their presence would exceed 5% of the population. \nResonances as well as dissonances between the distinct trajectories of the two women and their expectation from communist ideology\, are sensed through thoughts and experiences of the protagonists\, who all have a personal or professional relation to the issues at hand. \nThis screening is part of the Bauhaus Imaginista: Collected Research exhibition. \nProject partners:\nGoethe-Institut\, Bauhaus Kooperation\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt. \nFunded by:\nDie Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien\, Auswärtiges Amt\, Kulturstiftung des Bundes. \nOn the occasion of 100 Jahre bauhaus (100 Years of Bauhaus).

SUMMARY:Otolith Group- O Horizon
DESCRIPTION:The title refers to the surface layer of soil\, changed in the area around Santiniketan as the result of Tagore’s introduction of new flora in development of the campus. In studying this trajectory\, the film extends The Otolith Group’s ongoing consideration of the Anthropocene\, a premise that denotes that the current geological age is one wherein human activity spurs the primary changes on climate and the environment. With O Horizon\, The Otolith Group also proposes that Tagore’s project maps onto the notion of terraforming—a term originating in science fiction and now more widely used—whereby a party (typically but not always an interloper) reshapes the atmosphere of a place for their own needs. \nO Horizon reflects upon modernist theories of dance and song developed by Tagore and the experimental practices of mural\, sculpture\, painting\, and drawing developed by India’s great modernist artists affiliated with Santiniketan: K.G. Subramanyan\, Benode Behari Mukherjee\, Nandalal Bose and Ramkinkar Baij. O Horizon draws together visual arts\, dance\, song\, music\, and recital to assemble a structure of feeling of the Tagorean imagination in the 21st Century. \nThis screening is part of the Bauhaus Imaginista: Collected Research exhibition. \nProject partners:\nGoethe-Institut\, Bauhaus Kooperation\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt. \nFunded by:\nDie Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien\, Auswärtiges Amt\, Kulturstiftung des Bundes. \nOn the occasion of 100 Jahre bauhaus (100 Years of Bauhaus).

SUMMARY:99.1 WQRT Rhinestone Country Film Series-Urban Cowboy
DESCRIPTION:“You a real cowboy?” John Travolta traded disco for a mechanical bull in this adaptation by James Bridges and Aaron Latham of Latham’s article on Western nightlife. Texas country boy Bud (Travolta) moves to Houston to work on an oil rig with his Uncle Bob (Barry Corbin)\, and he swiftly becomes indoctrinated in the nighttime rituals of drinking\, dancing\, and showing off cowboy duds at Gilley’s\, the enormous local honkytonk. There he meets and marries the sassy Sissy (Debra Winger)\, but the honeymoon quickly ends when Sissy starts spending too much time learning the men-only skill of mechanical bull-riding from ex-con Wes (Scott Glenn); Bud throws her out and hooks up with slumming Pam (Madolyn Smith). Under the paternal tutelage of Uncle Bob\, Bud then learns not only how to master the bull but also what it takes to be a real man rather than just an ersatz cowboy. With a story\, cast\, and setting that were essentially Saturday Night Fever country-style\, Urban Cowboy was poised to be a summer 1980 hit. Although its box office did not live up to Fever’s legacy\, Urban Cowboy did spawn a soundtrack album of country-and-western hits and helped spur a Western fashion vogue; people from all regions began sporting cowboy boots\, and mechanical bulls started replacing passé disco floors. The first of Travolta’s many comebacks\, Urban Cowboy provided the star with a more “manly” image after his Moment by Moment (1978) fiasco\, but it was neophyte co-star Winger who got even better notices. With its Western milieu and retro view of relationships\, Urban Cowboy stands as a sign of the nascent Reagan era\, as ’70s icon Travolta learned bull-riding himself and replaced his white polyester with a black Stetson.” ~ Lucia Bozzola\, Rovi \nPresented by Upland Brewing Company

SUMMARY:Lockerbie Movie Night-Alice (live soundtrack by Landon Caldwell and Mark Tester)
DESCRIPTION:Step through the looking glass with us at Lockerbie Movie Night! Box Burger food truck and Sun King Brewery will help fill your bellys. Sound artists Landon Caldwell and Mark Tester will stimulate your ears with a live soundtrack to Czech director and stop-motion animator Jan Svankmajer’s “Alice.” Loosely based on the classic Alice in Wonderland story\, the colors and proportions are dreamlike and lucid — even more so than one might imagine\, and the pace at which it moves is both enchanting and perplexing. Svankmajer calls it a children’s film\, but any adult would be equally as entertained by the strangeness of it all.\nIn Svankmajer’s “Alice\,” the main character switches back and forth between being a human and a doll. And there’s no shortage of weird little details that make you cringe: rats that decide to camp out on Alice’s head and start a bonfire\, socks that function as worms and crawl in and out of the wooden floors\, animal creatures collaged out of bones\, metal\, and scarps who try to trap Alice into a closet full of creepy\, crawly things.\n\nAbout Landon Caldwell & Mark Tester: Caldwell & Tester are Indianapolis-based artists\, musicians\, composers\, and producers. Their duo work explores various niches in electronic music with a focus on process\, often incorporating spontaneous composition & experimentation with an array of technology\, creating works that harness rhythm\, ambiance\, and melody to conjure meditations on fleeting sensations and early morning comedowns.\nTogether they have toured in the United States\, Canada\, and Europe and are regularly engaged with artists and musicians across the Midwest and beyond. Since 2016 they have operated Medium Sound\, producing a number of the label’s releases.\nFilm will start at 7:15pm\nRun time 1 hour and 35 minutes.

SUMMARY:JEANNE DIELMAN\, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE\, 1080 BRUXELLES
DESCRIPTION:Recently declared the new greatest film of all time\, Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman\, 23\, quai du Commerce\, 1080 Bruxelles is a singular work in film history.\nThe film meticulously details\, with a sense of impending doom\, the daily routine of a middle-aged widow\, whose chores include making the beds\, cooking dinner for her son\, and turning the occasional trick.\nIn its enormous spareness\, Akerman’s film seems simple\, but it encompasses an entire world. Whether seen as an exacting character study or as one of cinema’s most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time\, Jeanne Dielman is an astonishing\, compelling movie experiment\, one that has been analyzed and argued over for decades.\nCast: Delphine Seyrig\, Jan Decorte\, Henri Storck\nDirector: Chantal Akerman\nWriter: Chantal Akerman\nLength: 202 minutes\nNot Rated\n(1975)\n\nAbout Akerman\nChantal Akerman was born in 1950 in Brussels\, and died in Paris in 2015. Akerman was a pioneer in feminist and experimental filmmaking. Born to Holocaust survivors from Poland\, the generational trauma of this experience was a continuing theme in her work and in recent decades she explored her own Jewish identity. She made over 40 films during her life time\, and is considerd to be one of the most important European directors of her generation.\nRecent solo exhibitions have been shown at EyefilmMusem\, Amsterdam\, The Netherlands (2020); MOCA\, Toronto\, Canada (2019); Oi Futuro\, Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil (2018)\, a retrospective at La Cinemateque Francaise\, Paris\, France (2018); Institute of Contemporary Arts\, London (2015); The Kitchen\, New York (2013); Palais des Beaux-Arts\, Brussels\, Belgium (2013); Museum for Contemporary Art Antwerp\, Belgium (2012); a film retrospective at the Vienna Film Festival\, Austria (2011); the Contemporary Art Museum\, St. Louis\, Missouri (2009); List Visual Arts Center\, M.I.T.

DESCRIPTION:Join us at CAMi for a special free screening of Peter Vack’s film www.RachelOrmont.com on Thursday\, March 12 from 8 to 10:30 p.m. \nThe film is an unflinching psychedelic techno-satire about a woman who unknowingly grows up in captivity working for an advertising agency\, starring Betsey Brown (Assholes\, The Sweet East)\, Dasha Nekrasova (Succession\, The Beast\, Materialists)\, and Chloe Cherry (Euphoria). \n“Boasting a daring lead performance and a wicked sense of humor\, this satirical sci-fi comedy delves into themes of performance\, digital existence\, consumer culture\, and contemporary sexuality\, offering a provocative and unsettling reflection of our hyper-connected society.” — BLEEDING EDGE \n“A filthy and absurd midnight movie determined to fry brains and flip stomachs; a film so terminally online that even the milder scenes would\, as the kids say\, “kill a Victorian child.” — Pop Matters \n\n\nContent Warning: This film contains graphic sexual content and nudity. This screening is 21+ only.\n\nRun Time: 120 min.
