Today, it seems only natural that film would be part of a contemporary art museum’s programming. “It’s such a complex and fascinating art with its own history, of the moving image, from celluloid to digital,” says Susan Oxtoby, BAMPFA’s director of film and senior film curator. “All of the complexities of the art form of cinema are ones that should be part of a contemporary art museum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, under the leadership of Manager of Film Programs Gina Basso, SFMOMA would screen three to six films a month, including the \u003ci>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmoma.org/series/past-seasons-of-modern-cinema/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Modern Cinema\u003c/a>\u003c/i> program, which ran for 10 seasons and focused on critically acclaimed filmmakers like Werner Herzog, Claire Denis and Satyajit Ray, as well as themes within contemporary cinema.

Regulars would save each other seats; some with preferred spots would cast sidelong glances if others encroached on their territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crucial element of what makes film events so transcendent is the presence of the audience, that finite time spent together solely focused on one thing. The collective experience of watching a film is immeasurably different from streaming the same film at home. “You miss the essence of the community,” Basso says of home viewings, “which is conversation and people commiserating in the lobby for so long that I actually have to kick them out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMOMA’s film audiences, Basso says, were diverse and intergenerational.

The audiences are all around the region, and it’s really important to make certain the venues in different parts of the Bay Area are doing the best programming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, when the pandemic hit, it was the final days of BAMPFA and SFMOMA’s co-presented retrospective of the French filmmaker Agnès Varda.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A ‘Stunning Disavowal of its Own History’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On its \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmoma.org/artists-artworks/film/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">own website\u003c/a>, SFMOMA describes a commitment to “exhibiting film as an essential medium of modern and contemporary art.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, in a July 19 email to staff titled “Connecting People to the Art of Our Time,” Benezra described film as a program that failed to drive attendance at the museum, one that “has historically had low attendance.” The flimsiest of predictions for its preemptive cancellation followed: the program “would inevitably struggle as films are increasingly streamed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an SFMOMA spokesperson, “While there was no specific goal for attendance at film programs, we have seen a steady decline that preceded the pandemic, from 6,700 in FY17 to 3,800 in FY20, and only 4% of our current membership have attended films.” (FY20 covers July 2019–June 2020, during which the museum was closed for 3.5 months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just because something has existed for a long time does not inherently mean it must continue to exist. SFMOMA’s film program was certainly waxed and waned over its 84 years. But to reduce its past—and present—to “low attendance” versus “streaming” denies the existence of the film program’s very mission, and gives it no chance to flourish in a reopened museum.

Today, it seems only natural that film would be part of a contemporary art museum’s programming. “It’s such a complex and fascinating art with its own history, of the moving image, from celluloid to digital,” says Susan Oxtoby, BAMPFA’s director of film and senior film curator. “All of the complexities of the art form of cinema are ones that should be part of a contemporary art museum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, under the leadership of Manager of Film Programs Gina Basso, SFMOMA would screen three to six films a month, including the \u003ci>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmoma.org/series/past-seasons-of-modern-cinema/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Modern Cinema\u003c/a>\u003c/i> program, which ran for 10 seasons and focused on critically acclaimed filmmakers like Werner Herzog, Claire Denis and Satyajit Ray, as well as themes within contemporary cinema.

Regulars would save each other seats; some with preferred spots would cast sidelong glances if others encroached on their territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crucial element of what makes film events so transcendent is the presence of the audience, that finite time spent together solely focused on one thing. The collective experience of watching a film is immeasurably different from streaming the same film at home. “You miss the essence of the community,” Basso says of home viewings, “which is conversation and people commiserating in the lobby for so long that I actually have to kick them out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFMOMA’s film audiences, Basso says, were diverse and intergenerational.

Quillian describes a deeply collaborative and interconnected ecosystem. She and Guerrero met as volunteers at Artists’ Television Access, where Guerrero is now a board member. “I learned about experimental films by hanging out and being at ATA, as well as how to run a nonprofit organization,” Quillian says. “I was an intern at Canyon like a million years ago, that’s when I learned about the big-name experimental filmmakers.” SF Cinematheque is Shapeshifters’ fiscal sponsor.

The audiences are all around the region, and it’s really important to make certain the venues in different parts of the Bay Area are doing the best programming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, when the pandemic hit, it was the final days of BAMPFA and SFMOMA’s co-presented retrospective of the French filmmaker Agnès Varda.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A ‘Stunning Disavowal of its Own History’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On its \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmoma.org/artists-artworks/film/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">own website\u003c/a>, SFMOMA describes a commitment to “exhibiting film as an essential medium of modern and contemporary art.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, in a July 19 email to staff titled “Connecting People to the Art of Our Time,” Benezra described film as a program that failed to drive attendance at the museum, one that “has historically had low attendance.” The flimsiest of predictions for its preemptive cancellation followed: the program “would inevitably struggle as films are increasingly streamed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an SFMOMA spokesperson, “While there was no specific goal for attendance at film programs, we have seen a steady decline that preceded the pandemic, from 6,700 in FY17 to 3,800 in FY20, and only 4% of our current membership have attended films.” (FY20 covers July 2019–June 2020, during which the museum was closed for 3.5 months.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just because something has existed for a long time does not inherently mean it must continue to exist. SFMOMA’s film program was certainly waxed and waned over its 84 years. But to reduce its past—and present—to “low attendance” versus “streaming” denies the existence of the film program’s very mission, and gives it no chance to flourish in a reopened museum.

It’s shown films that require multiple projectors and films that require multiple projectors on opposite sides of a room. I’ve laid down at Light Field, looking up at temporal sculptures suspended in air. It’s often more accurate to say films projected at Light Field are performed instead of shown, really, and they accrete the material conditions of their exhibition like non-sentient collaborators. Outlandish bent aside, though, one lasting effect of Light Field’s experimental programming is enhanced alertness to the lines and shapes embedded in everyday imagery, and their emotional charge.

The program features an international cast of more than 50 artists, culled from hundreds of submissions by seven collective members. Light Field sprang from conversations at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/ourturbulentdecade/2016-evictions-and-the-ghost-ship-fire-pushed-oakland-artists-into-the-margins\">now-defunct\u003c/a> Black Hole Cinematheque, an underground film series in Oakland, and it differs from more established festivals in key ways. Submissions must be made for celluloid exhibition, but otherwise there’s no criteria; this year one film is 60 years old. There’s no submission fee. Artists receive stipends.

Villon wanted her program to challenge the idea of the avant-garde’s boundless forward motion, a message sent most clearly by \u003cem>Odds & Ends\u003c/em>: It comprises a rush of familiar and abstract imagery while a voice-over babbles about jazz, poetry and grants in a perhaps uncomfortably resonant spoof of experimental filmmaking and beatnik culture. “It’s rumored the film led to the end of her relationship with Jordan,” Villon said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Light Field collective member Emily Chao, an Oakland filmmaker and curator, selected two half-hour pieces for Program 6 that share an interest in unfinished or unending projects: George Clark’s documentary-like \u003cem>Double Ghosts\u003c/em> (2019), shot in Chile and Taiwan, echoes an incomplete film by Raúl Ruiz, while Silvia das Fadas’ reverent \u003cem>The House is Yet to be Built\u003c/em> portrays architectural sites built with utopian intentions. They blur reportage and fantasy, Chao observed, and appeal to her sense of photographic images as fossils. “They’re both travelogues tracing a legacy or myth,” she said. “There’s a reactivation of forgotten spaces that happens.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Program 2, curated by Tooth, a founding collective member, includes rarely-seen work by Marcelle Thirache, a French artist who painted directly onto Super 8 filmstrip in the 1980s and 1990s; and Paul Sharits, whose \u003cem>Tirgu Jiu\u003c/em> (1977), inspired by Brancusi sculptures, uses two projectors to produce a kinetic flickering effect. Trisha Low, the poet and performer, described a theme of containment in her program—dark and vivid in Matthias Müller’s \u003cem>Alpsee\u003c/em> and Mike Stoltz’s \u003cem>Something to Touch that is Not Corruption or Ashes or Dust\u003c/em>—that connects to broader ideas. “[Film] is marked by the touches of each person it passes through, hand to hand, each time it’s viewed,” she said. “In that sense it’s a magnet for contagion, it is made to be contaminated.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3.jpg\" alt=\"Stuart Moore's 'Zinn,' a film featured at Light Field, depicts the Dartmoor river.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1303\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13876256\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3-800x543.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3-768x521.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3-1020x692.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stuart Moore’s ‘Zinn,’ a film featured at Light Field, depicts the Dartmoor river. \u003ccite>( Stuart Moore/Courtesy Light Field)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Light Field carries forward an experimental film tradition that’s struggling against cost-of-living and real estate pressure in the Bay Area.

Running against this trend, however, is Shapeshifters Cinema and Brewery, a new exhibition space in Oakland. And the volunteer Light Field collective has actually doubled in size and begun to receive grant funding. It also has a strong relationship with Canyon Cinema, the important experimental film distributor in San Francisco.

The parting provocation this year is \u003cem>The Eyes Empty and the Pupils Burning of Rage and Desire\u003c/em> by Luis Macias. The Spanish filmmaker, who’s presenting the piece live, manually advances black leader through two projectors while manipulating the lenses and bulbs. The light from the bulb singes the leader, destroying the film as it’s being projected.

It’s often more accurate to say films projected at Light Field are performed instead of shown, really, and they accrete the material conditions of their exhibition like non-sentient collaborators.

The program features an international cast of more than 50 artists, culled from hundreds of submissions by seven collective members. Light Field sprang from conversations at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/ourturbulentdecade/2016-evictions-and-the-ghost-ship-fire-pushed-oakland-artists-into-the-margins\">now-defunct\u003c/a> Black Hole Cinematheque, an underground film series in Oakland, and it differs from more established festivals in key ways. Submissions must be made for celluloid exhibition, but otherwise there’s no criteria; this year one film is 60 years old. There’s no submission fee. Artists receive stipends. Each program costs a modest $6-$10, and weekend passes are $25. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what’s playing? \u003cem>Fever\u003c/em> (1998), a 16mm film by Chicago artist Paula Froehle, joins phantasmagoric closeups with a tactile score of murmuring inhalation to explore a mother-child bond troubled by illness. It’s on Program 7, curated by new collective member Patricia Ledesma Villon, with several stirring shorts meditating on delineated space: Tomonari Nishikawa’s \u003cem>Amusement Ride\u003c/em> (2019) shows the dense field of steel beams supporting a Ferris wheel, and Valentina Alvarado Matos’ \u003cem>El mar peinó a la orilla\u003c/em> (2019 traces an ocean horizon in paint. \u003cem>Locations\u003c/em> (2019), a Super 8 film by Bruno Delgado Ramo, seems to probe the limits of formal description through a diptych-like composition involving fissures and surveying equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876255\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Muller_Alpsee.jpg\" alt=\"A still from Matthias Müller's 'Alpsee,' featured at the fourth annual Light Field film festival.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1379\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13876255\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Muller_Alpsee.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Muller_Alpsee-160x115.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Muller_Alpsee-800x575.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Muller_Alpsee-768x552.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Muller_Alpsee-1020x733.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A still from Matthias Müller’s ‘Alpsee,’ featured at the fourth annual Light Field film festival. \u003ccite>(Matthias Müller/Courtesy Light Field)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Villon’s program also includes \u003cem>Odds & Ends\u003c/em>, a 16mm film from 1959 by Jane Conger Belson Shimané, who’s often mentioned alongside her former husband Jordan Belson, the late experimental filmmaker based in San Francisco. Villon wanted her program to challenge the idea of the avant-garde’s boundless forward motion, a message sent most clearly by \u003cem>Odds & Ends\u003c/em>: It comprises a rush of familiar and abstract imagery while a voice-over babbles about jazz, poetry and grants in a perhaps uncomfortably resonant spoof of experimental filmmaking and beatnik culture. “It’s rumored the film led to the end of her relationship with Jordan,” Villon said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Light Field collective member Emily Chao, an Oakland filmmaker and curator, selected two half-hour pieces for Program 6 that share an interest in unfinished or unending projects: George Clark’s documentary-like \u003cem>Double Ghosts\u003c/em> (2019), shot in Chile and Taiwan, echoes an incomplete film by Raúl Ruiz, while Silvia das Fadas’ reverent \u003cem>The House is Yet to be Built\u003c/em> portrays architectural sites built with utopian intentions. They blur reportage and fantasy, Chao observed, and appeal to her sense of photographic images as fossils. “They’re both travelogues tracing a legacy or myth,” she said. “There’s a reactivation of forgotten spaces that happens.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Program 2, curated by Tooth, a founding collective member, includes rarely-seen work by Marcelle Thirache, a French artist who painted directly onto Super 8 filmstrip in the 1980s and 1990s; and Paul Sharits, whose \u003cem>Tirgu Jiu\u003c/em> (1977), inspired by Brancusi sculptures, uses two projectors to produce a kinetic flickering effect. Trisha Low, the poet and performer, described a theme of containment in her program—dark and vivid in Matthias Müller’s \u003cem>Alpsee\u003c/em> and Mike Stoltz’s \u003cem>Something to Touch that is Not Corruption or Ashes or Dust\u003c/em>—that connects to broader ideas. “[Film] is marked by the touches of each person it passes through, hand to hand, each time it’s viewed,” she said. “In that sense it’s a magnet for contagion, it is made to be contaminated.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13876256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3.jpg\" alt=\"Stuart Moore's 'Zinn,' a film featured at Light Field, depicts the Dartmoor river.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1303\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13876256\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3-160x109.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3-800x543.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3-768x521.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Zinn-3-1020x692.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stuart Moore’s ‘Zinn,’ a film featured at Light Field, depicts the Dartmoor river. \u003ccite>( Stuart Moore/Courtesy Light Field)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Light Field carries forward an experimental film tradition that’s struggling against cost-of-living and real estate pressure in the Bay Area. Tooth moved to New York last year after eviction ended Black Hole Cinematheque, and founding collective member Zachary Epcar now lives in Milwaukee. Running against this trend, however, is Shapeshifters Cinema and Brewery, a new exhibition space in Oakland. And the volunteer Light Field collective has actually doubled in size and begun to receive grant funding. It also has a strong relationship with Canyon Cinema, the important experimental film distributor in San Francisco. Tooth noted Dena Beard, director of the Lab, is an essential supporter. “After every festival she goes, ‘When are we doing it again?’” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Light Field collective, which also includes Samuel Breslin and Syd Staiti, generally collaborates on a “spectacle” program to conclude the festival with a challenge to the conventions of film exhibition. (In 2016 the festival ended \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/light-field-a-new-experimental-film-festival-promises-conical-visions-in-a-cave/Content?oid=5028815\">inside the sea cave\u003c/a> at Sutro Baths.) The parting provocation this year is \u003cem>The Eyes Empty and the Pupils Burning of Rage and Desire\u003c/em> by Luis Macias. The Spanish filmmaker, who’s presenting the piece live, manually advances black leader through two projectors while manipulating the lenses and bulbs. The light from the bulb singes the leader, destroying the film as it’s being projected. The idea, according to Macias, is to isolate the elements of a cinematograph device, resulting in a silent film “without image.” \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/arts/13876247/light-field-film-festival-returns-to-push-the-limits-of-celluloid","authors":["11091"],"categories":["arts_1","arts_835","arts_74","arts_70"],"tags":["arts_5053","arts_1118","arts_1201","arts_3323","arts_596","arts_4109"],"featImg":"arts_13876253","label":"arts"},"arts_13876228":{"type":"posts","id":"arts_13876228","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"arts","id":"13876228","score":null,"sort":[1583788916000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"now-playing-light-field-trips-out-on-celluloid-at-the-lab","title":"CANCELED: Now Playing!
