SUMMARY:The Cinema Must Be Destroyed: The Films of Guy Debord
DESCRIPTION:Artists’ Television Access\, City Lights\, and PM Press present \nThe Cinema Must Be Destroyed: The Films of Guy Debord \nHosted by Ken Knabb \nTHE CINEMA MUST BE DESTROYED is four-day Guy Debord film retrospective to celebrate the new edition of Debord’s Complete Cinematic Works\, edited and translated by Ken Knabb\, along with recent re-releases such as The Society of the Spectacle and Situationist International Anthology\, and a collection of Knabb’s own writings\, The Joy of Revolution and Related Texts. \nPrograms: \nFriday\, August 7\, 2026\, 7:00 pm: Four early short films\nSaturday\, August 8\, 2026\, 7:00 pm: The Society of the Spectacle\nFriday\, August 14\, 2026\, 7:00 pm: In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni\nSaturday\, August 15\, 2026\, 7:00 pm: Guy Debord: His Art and His Time \nGuy Debord\, founder of the Situationist International and fomenter of the May 1968 revolt in France\, was also the creator of seven tantalizingly inaccessible films. Following the still-unsolved assassination of the films’ producer in 1984\, all the films were withdrawn from circulation for nearly twenty years. \nIn 2001 Debord’s widow Alice began rereleasing the films and she asked Ken Knabb to translate the scripts into English. He agreed and his translation of Debord’s Complete Cinematic Works was published in 2003. A revised and expanded edition of that book has just been published by PM Press. \nTechnically and aesthetically\, Debord’s films are among the most brilliantly innovative works in the history of the cinema. But they are not so much “works of art” as carefully calculated subversive provocations. In each film Debord simultaneously attacks the film medium itself\, challenging spectators to wake up and create their own adventures instead of losing themselves in the maze of pseudo-adventures presented for their passive consumption. \nGuy Debord’s Complete Cinematic Works includes the soundtracks\, descriptions of each image\, 62 illustrations\, 11 documents\, and extensive annotations. All seven of Debord’s films will be shown at Artists’ Television Access (992 Valencia St. in San Francisco) and Ken Knabb will be on hand to introduce each film and answer questions. \nKen Knabb is a writer\, translator\, and radical theorist\, known for his translations of Guy Debord and the Situationist International. His own English-language writings\, many of which were anthologized in Public Secrets (1997)\, have been translated into over a dozen additional languages. He is also a respected authority on the political significance of Kenneth Rexroth. \n\n\nKen Knabb is a writer\, translator\, and radical theorist\, known for his translations of Guy Debord and the Situationist International.

SUMMARY:The Magic of Cinema The Films of Dominic Angerame
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Kornelia Boczkowska. \nLive music by Kevin Barnard \nThis program celebrates the recent work of Dominic Angerame\, a prolific\, award- winning filmmaker\, educator\, programmer\, cinephile and former Executive Director of Canyon Cinema. Known for his broad interests\, inventiveness\, keen observations of social realities and genuine passion for experimental filmmaking\, Angerame has made over sixty films that have received critical acclaim and worldwide recognition. With the career spanning over fifty years\, Angerame has produced a vast and remarkably diverse body of work\, from his monumental city symphony series\, travelogs and landscape films to highly personal diaries\, portraits\, found footage films and comedy shorts. Angerame’s films are magical: a powerful marriage of image\, sound\, movement and technique\, they are both realist and surrealist\, documentary and poetic\, strange and familiar\, concrete and ephemeral\, dark and illuminating. Angerame has taught film production and cinema studies at several leading universities and art schools\, educating future generations of artists\, scholars\, critics and curators. From 1980 to 2012\, he served as Executive Director of Canyon Cinema. Under his visionary leadership\, Canyon Cinema has become one of the largest distributors of avant-garde and artist- made films. In November 2019\, Re:Voir\nreleased nine of Angerame’s films on a DVD\, entitled “Cityscapes.” — Kornelia Boczkowska \nTHE WAIFEN MAIDEN\, 1:00\, 2003\, US. 16mm. Starring Zhanna. Gamaya (“Lead Us”) a Sanskrit mantra performed by Zhanna\, recorded and mastered by Zak May. This is a haiku and offers a prelude to CONSUME. — Dominic Angerame \nPREMONITION\, 10:00\, 1995\, US. 16mm. The San Francisco Embarcadero Freeway comes to life in this elegy for modernity. The Freeway was deemed a triumph of engineering\, a monument for human inventiveness. With the 1989 earthquake\, however\, the freeway was severely damaged and with it all the industrial-technological promises it held. Premonition shows the situation before the crisis\, a deceptive moment of industrial harmony. (Viennale) \nPROMETHEUS\, 3:00\, 2022\, US. 16mm. This short film is a continuation of my “City Symphony” series. Let there be light! — Dominic Angerame \nFILM DIARY#2—NO NOTHING CINEMA\, 2:00\, 2024\, US. 16mm. Dedicated to friend and one of the co-founders of No Nothing\, Dean Snider\, Film Diary #2: No Nothing Cinema documents the beginnings of San Francisco’s radical microcinema\, which became a landmark venue for showcasing the work of independent and experimental cinema. — Kornelia Boczkowska \nTHE SAN FRANCISCO ART INSTITUTE (A GHOST STORY)\, 9:00\, 2024\, US. 16mm. The San Francisco Art Institute (A Ghost Story) is Dominic Angerame’s unique tribute to the history and present- day of San Francisco’s long-running legendary film school and the oldest art institution west of the Mississippi River\, which closed permanently in July 2022. (…) Once a hub of creativity and a birthplace of ideas that have shaped the SF Bay Area experimental film scene\, the SFAI is now replete with ghostly figures\, specters\, shadows and memories\, but perhaps it is not the final chapter of the school’s rich history. — Kornelia Boczkowska \nHABANA 2006\, 9:00\, 2025\, US. In 2006\, Angerame was invited to Havana\, Cuba\, to present his City Symphony Series at the Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano de La Habana\, which marked the beginning of his 13-year collaboration with the festival as a programmer. HABANA is a record of that visit\, tracing Havana in Fidel Castro’s final year as Cuban leader and the ongoing propaganda war between the U.S. and Cuba. — Kornelia Boczkowska \nFILM DIARY#7—PSALM SUNDAY\, 5:00\, 2024\, US. 16mm. Dedicated to my dear friend Suzanne Kelliher. This is a portrait of a camping trip to the Cottonwood Mountains and Joshua Tree and the Sultan Sea. — Dominic Angerame \nA SMALL FRAGMENT OF A DAY THAT BELONGS TO 20 YEARS AGO\, 8:00\, 2025\, US. 16mm. Memories of lovers’ past. A glimpse of the erotic emotions that linger in the mind as it changes with each moment of time passing. — Dominic Angerame \n**FILM DIARY #10—EYEFULL PORTRAITS\, 3:00\, 2025\, US. 16mm. Brief\, impressionistic portraits of many of Angerame’s friends and acquaintances who live in San Francisco. Set to Toney Merritt’s haunting sound design and superimposed with NASA images and footage of Angerame’s coming down the elevator at the Eiffel Tower\, EYEFULL PORTRAITS is a descent into the depths of the subconsciousness\, transforming into a complex\, densely layered exploration of friendship\, loneliness\, city dwelling and the unknown — Kornelia Boczkowska \nLUMINAE\, 4:00\, 2022\, US. 16mm. For years I had been shooting with an iris attached to my lens creating a circle. The sun seemed to be a natural progression of the circle\, especially its revolutions. The film is an accession into the heavens. This film was magically created from the soul of my spirit. The music was also magic that it glides the imagery into its many manifestations. This film is definitely the result of the magic of cinema capturing a spirit of space that would make\nGeorge Melies cry in wonder. — Dominic Angerame \nAEON\, 12:00\, 2024\, US. 16mm. In Aeon\, Dominic Angerame draws parallels between the earthly and the heavenly\, linking the San Francisco cityscape and city dwellers to outer space. Filmed during the Covid-19 lockdown\, Aeon celebrates Angerame’s reunion with friends and responds to the new ways of interacting with the world on different levels. (…) Aeon is one of Angerame’s major and most mature works to date\, which demonstrates the potential of experimental filmmaking in superimposing images that are seemingly disparate\, yet uncannily familiar. — Kornelia Boczkowska \nWORK-IN-PROGRESS: The Berkeley Pitt\, Butte Montana\, 10:00\, 2026\, US. 16mm.
