The Shamanic and Kabbalistic films of Harry Smith

Harry Smith, American icon, Hermetic scholar, alchemist, filmmaker and madman, was one of the great eccentrics of the Twentieth century. His obsessions with everything from Native American cosmology to American folk music were already legendary when he began making some of the earliest abstract and hand-crafted films that sparked a revolution in underground film. But Smith’s films, ranging from subliminal color and geometric abstractions to highly symbolic alchemical and religious visions, transcend cinema and become spiritual journeys in themselves. For Smith, filmmaking was the modern equivalent of ancient alchemical practice. His films will be discussed in connection to the Kabbalistic and shamanic visions they represent, but also for the treasures of American culture they have become. Smith’s films live on as some of the most influential images and forms our culture has ever produced.

Alejandro Jodorowsky, Spiritualism and the Tarot

One of the greatest living shamans of cinema, Alejandro Jodorowsky’s quirky and eccentric films can be seen as moving Tarot images. Jodorowsky has always treaded the line between avant-garde and tradition, but his highly personal work has transgressed both these categories. Submerged in mythology, psychology and spiritual revelation, the often ridiculous and decadent imagery are a record of Jodorowsky’s spiritual quest for enlightenment throughout his life. Jodorowsky’s early pursuit of Buddhist truth and Nothingness culminated in a lifelong fascination with the Tarot and its insistence on creating personal interpretations of ancient spiritual iconography. Jodorowsky’s life and influence will be discussed alongside clips of his masterpiece of cinematic Tarot, The Holy Mountain. His faith in ancient visual depictions of spiritual states make him an indispensable mythmaker of our time.

* Although relevant clips will be shown from each piece, none of these films will be shown in their entirety. For those who wish to not have the stories spoiled, it is recommended to see the films beforehand or afterwards.

LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN, BIGGER THAN LIFE and Z
November 27 - December 4

The CCA celebrates the vibrant world of film preservation with newly restored prints of three classic, rarely seen films in 35mm.

LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN

“Staggeringly beautiful … A

strangely heartening reminder

of just how exhilaratingly

bizarre Hollywood

moviemaking could get!”

–The Auteurs

John Stahl’s gorgeously

intense Technicolor

masterpiece stars Gene

Tierney (“the fatalest of the

femmes in this melodrama”

–NY Post) as a woman

who meets and seduces

a best-selling author

on a train, setting off a

spectacular series of deadly

misadventures (including

a scene in the New Mexico

mountains). Unmissable.

(U.S., 1945, 110m, 35mm,

Criterion Pictures)

BIGGER THAN LIFE

“Revelatory! A revival not to

be miss ed!” –The New Yorker

Scott Foundas calls it

“Father Knows Best

reconfigured as Greek

tragedy”: Nicholas Ray’s

unforgettable Cinemascope

masterpiece—which has for

years been nearly impossible

to see—stars a terrifying

James Mason as a man

altered by an experimental

drug … an experiment that

ends up twisting the entire

Rockwellian town where he

lives. “One of the best, most

radical, least-known American

films … A canny retelling of

the Jekyll and Hyde story.”

–Village Voice.

(U.S., 1956, 95m, 35mm)

filmforum.org/fi lms/bigger.html

“An extraordinary thriller!

One of the fastest, most

exciting melodramas ever

made” –Pauline Kael

The winner of the Cannes Jury

Prize (awarded unanimously)

and the Best Foreign Film

Oscar, Costa-Gavras’

landmark counter-culture

thriller dives deep into

revolutionary street-level

politics and brutal response

by the powers-that-be. A

touchstone of subversive

cinema, Z remains as vibrant

and relevant as ever, 40 years

after its initial, worldwidesmash,

release. With

Yves Montand, Jean-Louis

Trintignant and Irene Papas.

(Algeria, 1969, 127m, 35mm)

Through personal, established relationships, casual encounters, forced institutional interactions or contact

from a safe distance, we often overstep our boundaries. Whether we are conscious or not of our boundary

breaking, at one time or another we are all guilty of intruding into other people’s lives and space. What

may pass as uneventful for one individual may be the cause of great anxiety and fear for another. I’m

Keeping an Eye on You explores the broad and lasting effects of our curiosity and intrusions upon others.

Artists featured in I’m Keeping an Eye on You include: Mounira Al Solh (Amsterdam/Beirut); Rachel

Garfield (London); Charlotte Ginsborg (London); Pia Greschner (Berlin); Myung-Soo Kim (Tempe); Yaron

Lapid (London); Jeff Luckey (New York/Berlin); Johnna MacArthur (Los Angeles); Michael Mohan (Los

Angeles); and Corinna Schnitt (Hamburg).

Organized by John Spiak, ASU Art Museum curator, I’m Keeping an Eye on You premiered as a Video

Project Space at Aqua Art Miami in December 2008. This project is made possible by the generosity of

Aqua Art Miami and Friends of the Arizona State University Art Museum.

World Premiere Performances / Installation Opening:

Chris Jonas’ GARDEN (chapter one “Night”) with the Del Sol String Quartet
At the Center for Contemporary Arts of Santa Fe
Presented by Littleglobe and CCA

Installation Dates:

December 11, 2009 - January 31, 2010

FREE admission

Performance Dates:

Friday, December 4: 6 and 7:30pm

Saturday, December 5: 6 and 7:30pm

Sunday, December 6: 2pm matinee

Tickets $15/$10 student/member/senior/low-income

Location:

The Center for Contemporary Arts of Santa Fe and Littleglobe present GARDEN, an intermedia collaboration between Chris Jonas and Del Sol String Quartet.

GARDEN “Night” is a music-driven intermedia performance/installation that uses live music and projected video in performance to explore metaphoric and psychological realms of night. This first Garden Chapter, “Night” has been created in collaboration between Chris Jonas (projected video, composition), the San Francisco-based Del Sol String Quartet (www.delsolquartet.com), stage director Acushla Bastible, movement artist Echo Gustafson, photographer Petr Jerabek, and a team of artists, volunteers and Littleglobe interns.

The video installation environment and linked 45 minute intermedia composition will open the first weekend of December, performed live with the audience members seated on two sides of the string quartet within the layers of video screens, mixing live music with projected video of night time landscapes and human figures.

From the second weekend of December through the end of January, Garden will take the form of an installation, with the quartet and their music projected into the installation space and the 45-minute piece on perpetual loop. GARDEN will tour with the Del Sol String Quartet though the US and abroad from 2010-2011.

www.littleglobe.org/garden.html

The Del Sol String Quartet, two-time national winner of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP First Place Award for Adventurous Programming, stands out as a group of pure invention, exploring new ways for a string quartet to interact with audiences, composers and other artists. They collaborate closely with living composers from around the world, including the Pacific Rim, by commissioning, performing and recording new works.

www.delsolquartet.com

“Del Sol is one of today’s most adventurous and open-minded chamber groups, playing with elegance, virtuosity, clarity, a pervasive artistry and a visceral engagement with the works they take on,” Chris Jonas said. “I am very excited about this collaboration.”

About Chris Jonas

Known locally for his many large scale musical projects written for SITE Santa Fe Biennials (Man Who Laughs, IN SITU and Malangan), Circus Luminous, the bands BING (with his partner, Molly Sturges), Rrake and Sun Spits Cherries, the Santa Fe Opera, Lensic, High Mayhem and the arts-in-community non-profit, Littleglobe, Jonas works in the junction of many artistic worlds. Working in the realms of new music and intermedia, Jonas has recorded over 30 CDs, has toured with some of today’s most adventurous ensembles and musicians and has composed, performed and conducted works all over the US, EU and world. Jonas is the recipient of this year’s United States Artist Fellowship Award for music and got the New Vision/New Mexico award in 2006 for his video work in the SF Opera commissioned piece “Memorylines”.

Weimar Cinema And The Occult

Weimar culture, seething with revolutions in the arts, theatre and decadent culture, merged their fascination with darkness, psychology and heavy occultism with their evolving cinematic language. The early German films, memorable for their deep shadows, heavy iconography and mysterious imagery, are saturated with mystical and Occultist symbolism. For many visionary filmmakers such as F. W. Murnau, his Occultist producer Albin Grau, and theatre director/filmmaker Paul Wegener, the cinema was the ultimate medium for expressing the hidden images of the psyche and a means of carrying on the tradition of secret initiation. Many classic films will be discussed, such as Nosferatu, The Golem, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari in connection with the spiritualism that brought them to light.

“The first truly great piece of cinema to be made in a fine art context since Dali and Bunuel filmed UN CHIEN ANDALOU in 1929 … one of the most imaginative and brilliant achievements in the history of avant-garde cinema … The Waste Land for a generation that grew up with STAR WARS … salvages what in myth, ritual and art is still accessible to the modern world.” –Guardian

Matthew Barney—who the New York Times called “the most important artist of his generation”—embarked upon the now-legendary CREMASTER cycle in 1994. In the 15 years since, its reputation has continued to grow. The films will be seen in rare 35mm screenings at the CCA Cinematheque November 12-15, including a marathon of all five works. A full schedule is below. Tickets are at normal prices except for the marathon, which is $12 for all five films.

Each of the five films, running between 40 minutes and three hours, is a gorgeous, unclassifiable work of cinematic art. Film Forum described the works as such: “an epic cycle of birth and sexual differentiation melding genres as diverse as the Busby Berkeley musical, the gothic Western, and operatic spectacle, encompassing Celtic myth, Masonic initiation rites, motorcycle races, obscure historical references, high fashion, lush music, and category-defying imagery, as it spans half the globe, from Boise to Budapest, with Barney himself popping up as a tap-dancing satyr, a naked magician, a giant, and serial killer Gary Gilmore.”

Despite its status as a major work in terms of modern art and cinema—it is a startling work in terms of technical achievement and independent moviemaking— few have seen the entire cycle on 35mm film. Thanks to the support of Barney’s production company, the Center for Contemporary Arts is proud to present the entire CREMASTER cycle as Barney intended.

CREMASTER 1

“Utterly original stuff.” –John Rockwell, The New York Times

In twin hovering Goodyear blimps, a woman arranges red and green grapes into geometric patterns imitated by Isaac Mizrahi-clad dancing girls on the blue astro-turfed football field below.

(U.S., 1995, 40m, 35mm)

CREMASTER 2

“A world as strangely alternate as Lewis Carroll’s … a sprawling, hallucinatory quiltwork of gorgeously shot scenes” –Steven Henry Madoff, Time

Drawing from Hollywood’s mythology of the American West, Barney tells the story of murderer Gary Gilmore (Barney) as he searches for a familial connection with

Harry Houdini (Norman Mailer) as he wanders through a glimmering-gold afterlife complete with dancing cowboys.

(U.S., 1999, 79m, 35mm)

CREMASTER 3

“Endlessly fascinating . . . Barney’s most hypnotic work yet.” –New York Magazine.

Barney’s The Entered Apprentice faces off against Chrysler Building architect Hiram Abiff (played by sculptor Richard Serra) in the Art Deco landmark, while battling punk bands, Rockette-like chorines, and a half-cheetah woman (Aimée Mullins) as he scales the atrium of the Guggenheim Museum in an interlude.

(U.S., 2002, 182m, 35mm)

CREMASTER 4

“A surreal, slapstick fantasy; sexuality turned into a bizarre vaudeville.” –Stephen Holden, New York Times.

Flame-haired goat-boy The Loughton Candidate (Barney) slowly taps his way through an eroding floor into the sea, as competing color-coded motorcycle teams set off in opposite directions to circle the Isle of Man.

(U.S., 1994, 42m, 35mm)

CREMASTER 5

“A ravishing stretch of cinema... rich and quite, quite strange.” –David Frankel, Artforum

Ursula Andress (DR. NO) stars as the Queen of Chain, the sole audience for a lush operatic spectacle performed by the Budapest Opera and Philharmonic Orchestra within a grand 19th century opera house, accompanied by faeries, a magician (Barney on horseback), various attendants of unspecified gender and species, and a bevy of live pigeons.

(U.S., 1997, 54m, 35mm)

Marcellin Simard

Center for Contemporary Arts

spector ripps project space

Nov. 6th – Jan 10th

Opening Reception Friday Nov. 6th 5 - 8pm

Persistence of Vision

Persistence of Vision, a solo exhibition by Marcellin

Simard in the spector ripps project space, will

feature paintings, sculpture, and mixed-media

installation. Transcending the barriers and constraints

of daily reality, Simard conjures a hallucinatory and

vertiginous world where nightmare fades to dream,

children are warrior-saviors, and the fantastic is

animated. Simard’s work treads a fine line of magic

between peril and salvation.

Simard combines the people and situations of his

waking life with deep subconscious explorations to

create allegorical paintings. These contemporary fables

are comprised of family and friends who weave stories

alongside timeless icons: priestesses, demons, and

warriors. His sculptures are the stuff of shadow and

fantasy—a sinister black viper with gnashing teeth, a

fifteen-foot monster dipping deep below the gallery

floor, black crows that transform to white doves.

As described by CCA Director Lea Rekow: “I read

this work as the phenomenology of what’s presenting

itself in Marcellin’s life. Belief creates existence. The

inner creates the outer…That’s one of the reasons the

imagery in Marcellin’s work is so strong. His images

are the language of not his ‘real’—but of his truth.”

Marcellin Simard currently lives and works in Santa Fe,

as an artist, practicing cardiologist, and father of three

young children. Simard moved to Santa Fe from Los

Angeles, where, in addition to his careers as artist

and physician, he took courses to received an MFA.

Simard recently had a solo exhibition at Linda Durham

Contemporary Art.

MAPPING A GREEN FUTURE

Santa Fe New Mexican, The (NM)

TWILIGHT'S LAST GREENING

DOUGLAS FAIRFIELD
Published: October 9, 2009

One component of artist Basia Irland's contribution to the new exhibit Mapping a Green Future at the Center for Contemporary Arts consists of music for cello and a mezzo-soprano singing the names of the chemical pesticides found in the Calaveras River in California. The piece, Clandestine Calaveras, plays throughout the Muñoz Waxman Gallery. "My work [for the exhibit] includes sculptural backpack/repositories containing canteens, logbooks, maps, video documentaries, and photographs from three of my five Gathering of Water projects," said Irland, professor emeritus in the department of art and art history at The University of New Mexico, from her studio in Albuquerque. Irland, a sculptor, installation artist, poet, and book artist, is active in water issues and is one of more than a dozen artists taking part in the exhibition.

Mapping a Green Future is a multidisciplinary endeavor, the result of a collaboration between CCA, New Energy Economy, and the American Institute of Architects. It is being presented in conjunction with LAND/ART, a continuing series of New Mexico projects dealing with land-based art.

"The origin of the show came by way of a chance meeting with myself and John Fogarty, executive director of New Energy Economy," said Lea Rekow, CCA's executive director and curator of the exhibit, in a recent interview. New Energy Economy works to find business opportunities in the state by developing solutions to climate change. "This exhibition presents itself as a way of mapping a sustainable lifestyle, both at home and in industry, that is far less harmful to ourselves and the Earth. It's not a utopian concept of the future but a display of unencumbered possibilities that should not hold us back from making this a reality. Concerning how we generate energy, we're still living in archaic times with our use of coal and uranium; even 'clean' coal isn't a viable advancement. And we have no effective way of dealing with waste uranium. It all continues to be problematic."

And, indeed, coal is part of the exhibit. In an effort outside Rekow's curatorial activities, area schools and nonprofit organizations have come together to have three and a half tons of coal delivered to the show -- roughly the amount of coal used by every American each year -- which, according to Rekow, will be divvied up into shopping bags for people to carry to the state Capitol during a "March to the Roundhouse" event scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24, to coincide with International Day of Action on Climate Change.

"The challenges before us -- climate change and peak oil -- will require us to quickly rethink our energy systems in America," said Fogarty. "It will be a restructuring of our entire society, and will require all segments of our society to come together to develop solutions. The arts community will play an important role in lighting the path to a future that is powered by the sun, the wind, and the land." For the exhibit, Fogarty and Rekow have put together an interactive video booth that invites people to describe how they receive their electricity, as well as how they would like that energy to be generated in the future.

Along with work by Rekow, Fogarty, and Irland, artists Claudia Borgna, Beatriz da Costa, Bill Gilbert, Catherine Harris, Eve Andrée Laramée, Jenny Marketou, Joan Myers, Jenny Polak, and Brooke Singer, as well as the team of Andrea Polli and Chuck Varga and the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI), have created various pieces that call attention to environmental concerns.

"My work is rich in multimedia elements through video, audio, performance, installations, social interfaces, live broadcasts, Internet, and using ephemeral objects and material, said New York-based Marketou, recently artist in residence at CCA. "I am interested in transforming simple actions like walking, drifting, smelling, watching, and mapping into critiques about social, economic power systems of behaviors and aggression."

For this exhibition Marketou is showing a small version of a large-scale public installation called Red Eyed Sky Walkers from 2007. "It's a response to the conditions that reflect our culture, which is completely networked and controlled under the culture of surveillance and systems of information and fear," she said. The piece contains one video projector and two red weather balloons 5 to 6 feet in diameter inflated with helium, which will be tethered in the gallery. The balloons are equipped with tiny wireless surveillance cameras and digital transmitters with receivers that each day record visual information in real time. This is then projected a wall. Depending on the participation of the spectator, the work "explores how technology can be used to transform and understand our relationship to our environment, the public space and architecture that we inhabit, and the visualization of surveillance data," Marketou said.

Equally as novel as Marketou's weather balloons and Irland's work is Cloud Car by Polli and Varga. Equipped with special devices, a vehicle produces vapors that enshroud it, representing visually how our automobile-, oil-, and carbon-based culture affects air quality throughout the world. In addition, da Costa, associate professor of arts at the University of California, Irvine, plans to release a group of homing pigeons fitted with global positioning systems to monitor air pollution in Santa Fe. Borgna -- who was born in Germany, raised in Italy, and is currently based in London -- tackles the subject of recycling; she will construct an oasis of palm trees made up of plastic shopping bags.

Rekow's concerns in creating this thematic exhibit are shared by many. "The exhibition is a microcosm of other such gatherings and awareness groups elsewhere around the world," she said. Rekow has made arrangements to stream into the gallery live broadcasts of selective proceedings from the annual Bioneers conference in San Rafael, California, taking place from Friday, Oct. 16, to Sunday, Oct. 18. The Bioneers is an organization of "social and scientific innovators" established in 1990 to explore how nature operates and to better serve the planet and its inhabitants through solutions "inspired by nature and human ingenuity." (For information about the conference, a schedule of events, and prices, see ccasantafe.org.)

"We have an opportunity right now to re-energize our economy by solving global warming, but we need to reach people at a visceral level in order to create the requisite political will," states Fogarty. "And I have been impressed with the Center for Contemporary Arts and the way that they are effectively blending art with social action, particularly with Mapping a Green Future, which grew from this pressing need to bring the arts to the climate movement."

THE WAY THE WIND BLOWS

Reception and Screening
March 5, 2009 6PM
Moving Image Lab| CCA

Edwina White's delicate drawings on found vintage papers of menus and books, etc. are often enhanced with collage and text and present multiple narratives. Her whimsical escapades are built from memory and injected with gentle, often wry humor. Her subjects are distinctive in character, melding classical elements of expression and detail with a raw modern sensibility.

Born in Sydney, Australia, Edwina White graduated in Visual Communications, following a spell at Brighton University, England. Her drawings, installations and animations have been exhibited in the United States, Australia and the UK.

The Center for Contemporary Arts [CCA] will hold a small reception / screening to showcase Edwina White's latest work at 6pm Thursday, March 5. White will present the work created during her residency—a stop motion animated short, "The Way the Wind Blows". The handpainted and charmingly absurd characters that feature in the film will also be on view in the studio.

EXECUTIVE UPDATE

Mapping knowledge and the issues that drive us helps shape our experiences, and leads us to new ways of seeing in the world. CCA is steering more and more programming toward environmental and social justice issues, as well as collaborations in science and technology.

We are working along side New Energy Economy, teaching media empowerment to indigenous youth, to foster positive changes within both the sociological and environmental arenas. Our upcoming African Effect Film Festival presents political and critical cinema to showcase the broad spectrum of creative works coming from the continent, particularly those that reinforce positive images and help to destroy negative stereotypes. We believe film and art can lead to better understanding and foster communication between peoples of diverse cultures, races, and lifestyles, while at the same time, serve as a vehicle to initiate dialogue on the important issues of our times.

Vernon Reid’s Artificial Afrika is installed in our Moving Image Lab through February, while Edwina White joins us as Artist in Residency for the month also.

AFRICAN EFFECT THRU FEBRUARY 12

We initiated the African Effect festival in 2003 to celebrate the impact of African cultures. This year's festival asks a still more pressing question: What lessons can we learn from Africa’s current transformation? While many of us are familiar with Nelson Mandela's bridge-building work in South Africa, other inspiring, courageous and instructive peaceful revolutions also deserve our attention. In Liberia, women joined together to challenge a vicious dictatorship, and then assumed leadership of their country. In Rwanda, survivors and perpetrators of a hellish genocide are now seeking ways to live together and heal deep psychic wounds. We'll show films and present discussions on these historic moments. We'll also spotlight Mumia Abu Jamal's steadfast commitment to social justice, celebrate Youssou Ndour's transcendent choice of faith above politics, dirty our hands with Malian mud, travel to Louisiana for a tale of redemption and discover American hip-hop's influence on urban youth worldwide. And we'll again showcase Ousmane Sembene, Africa's leading cultural figure of the last half of the 20th century, whose entire career was dedicated to creating what he described as “liberating and galvanizing stories for Africa.”

To highlight the relevance these stories have to our everyday lives, three special guests will host this year's festival. Samba Gadjigo, a treasured co-curator of this event for the past three years, is the world’s authority on Sembene, and will return to introduce two classics by his countryman from Senegal. Atema Eclai, a Kenyan native and director of programs at the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, is one of the world’s leading human rights and mediation experts. And Liberia's Bill Saa is a peace-builder and co-director of the internationally acclaimed NGO Everyday Gandhis. While the films themselves are inspiring, the presence of our guests, who demonstrate their progressive ideals through action, will resonate deeply during this time of crisis, transition and new visions.

CHE OPENS FEBRUARY 13

"Nothing if not the film of the year." –L.A. Weekly

Winner, best actor, Cannes Festival of Film

Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh (TRAFFIC, OCEAN'S ELEVEN, ERIN BROKOVICH) tackles one of the 20th century's most compelling heroes in this riveting, two-film biography. It begins November 26, 1956 as Fidel Castro leads a band of 80 rebels, including the Argentine physician Che Guevara (Oscar winner Benicio del Toro), to Cuba. Fueled only by determination, the group engages in swift, bloody battle to free the Cuban people from the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. A hero to many, the controversial Che disappears at the height of his fame and power, entering South America incognito, recruiting another band of guerilla fighters and beginning a mission in the harsh Bolivian jungles to spark revolution throughout Latin America.

MOVING IMAGE LAB

VERNON REID

Artificial Afrika is a an animated new media project to be shown in our moving image lab. This current work by Vernon Reid will be shown in coordination with CCA’s African Effect Film Festival.

Vernon Reid (Visual Artist, Composer, guitarist) was a visual artist before becoming a musician. Mr. Reid is probably best known for the years he spent leading the rock group Living Colour, founded in circa 1985 in NYC. He has collaborated with artists ranging from Mick Jagger and Public Enemy to Carlos Santana. He has produced records by the great African singer Salif Keita which was nominated for a Grammy in 2000 and for James Blood Ulmer, who was nominated for a Grammy in 2002. He has worked with numerous other artists/albums, and directed music performance projects at BAM and MassMoca. His photography and installations have been shown in galleries in the United States and Europe.

DEAR ZACHARY OPENS FRIDAY, JANUARY 9

After Kurt Kuenne's childhood friend Andrew Bagby is murdered, Kuenne interviews all of Bagby's friends, planning to make a documentary for Andrew's infant son Zachary. But there's a twisted wrinkle to this story: Andrew's likely murderer is the boy's mother. One of the most powerful documentaries in cinema history, this film has drawn comparisons to Errol Morris's groundbreaking THIN BLUE LINE and already is a cult item among critics and cinephiles. Unmissable.
(U.S., 2008, 95m, DVcam, Oscilloscope Pictures)

WEBSITE | REVIEW

MONSIEUR VERDOUX JANUARY 16 - 22
- ONE WEEK ONLY

Charlie Chaplin called this classic—yanked from distribution at the height of the Red Scare—the cleverest, most brilliant film of my career.” Nominated for the 1948 Academy Award® for Best Screenplay, and originating from a true story, this self-described “comedy of murders” was based on an idea by Orson Welles, and stars Chaplin as a charming man whose conceals the murderous hatred that's festered since he lost his job. Now restored, in a new 35mm print, this legendary, rarely screen film is one the New York Times says "you shouldn't miss."

(U.S., 1947, 124m, 35mm, The Film Desk)

WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

Directed by Pamela Tanner Boll (executive producer of BORN INTO BROTHELS) and acclaimed editor Nancy C. Kennedy (WHY WE FIGHT, THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT), this film shows how female artists are balancing work and family. With interviews from both experts and women who are simultaneously creating and raising children—including Taos's Maye Torres—the film shows that, though feminism has made impressive strides in the plight of women, many are still forced to choose between careers and motherhood.
(U.S., 2008, 73m, video, Artistic License)

THE ACCIDENTAL ADVOCATE ONE SHOW ONLY JANUARY 14

Director Jessica Gerstle in person!!

When Claude Gerstle, a surgeon and athlete, suffers a tragic bicycle accident that leaves him paralyzed from the neck down, he and his daughter Jessica discover hope in the politicized area of science called stem cells. In this wheelchair odyssey, a father and daughter track down the thinkers, the politicians, the crusaders and the naysayers in an effort to understand both the science and the political ramifications of this possible cure. (U.S., 2008, 90m, video)

AFRICAN EFFECT JANUARY 30 - FEBRUARY 12

Lessons we can learn from Africa and the African Diaspora:

Truth, reconciliation and power of the people in Rwanda and Liberia • revisiting Mumia Abu Jamal and the American judicial system • classic films by Ousmane Sembene • the Sundance-winning drama Ballast • behind the scenes of Youssou Ndour's Egypt • and more

Special guests: Atema Eclai (Kenya, conflict resolution/human rights expert), Samba Gadjigo (Senegal, filmmaker and biographer of Ousmane Sembene), Bill Saa (Liberia, from the peacemaking organization Everyday Gandhis)

Clayton Porter's first solo exhibition in the spector ripps project space at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe explores the trappings of contemporary American culture—consumption, desire, innocence, perversion, and excess. At the core of Noxious Empire are highly charged creatures that represent unfettered desires with their large gaping mouths, multiple appendages, and bulging, enlarged eyes. Some of the characters that dwell in Noxious Empire consist entirely of eyes that covet, mouths that consume, stomachs that digest, and an anus that excretes.
