SUMMARY:The Washing Society\, a film by Lizzie Olesker and Lynne Sachs
DESCRIPTION:The Washing Society (45 min.\, 2018) brings us into New York City laundromats and the experiences of the people who work there. Filmmaker Lynne Sachs\, who currently teaches in Princeton’s Visual Art Department\, and playwright Lizzie Olesker observe the disappearing public space of the neighborhood laundromat and the continual\, intimate labor that happens there.  Their film investigates the intersection of history\, underpaid work\, immigration\, and the sheer math of doing laundry.  Dirt\, skin\, lint\, stains\, money\, and time are thematically interwoven into the very fabric of The Washing Society through interviews and observational moments.   The juxtaposition of narrative and documentary elements creates a dream-like\, yet hyper-real portrayal of a day in the life of a laundry worker\, both past and present. \nPrinceton African-American Studies and History Professor Tera Hunter will join us for a post-screening discussion. Professor Hunter’s book To ‘Joy My Freedom: Southern Black Women’s Lives and Labors after the Civil War depicts the 1881 organization of African-American laundresses in Atlanta and was an inspiration for Sachs’ and Olesker’s filmThe Washing Society.

Edison Media Arts Consortium – Black Maria Film Festival \nThe films that become the centerpiece of the Black Maria Film Festival honor the vision of Thomas Edison\, New Jersey inventor and creator of the motion picture. It was his New Jersey studio\, the world’s first\, which he called the “Black Maria” from which we take our name. The Festival reaches out to diverse audiences in diverse settings including universities\, museums\, libraries\, community organizations\, and arts venues. The cutting edge\, cross-genre work that makes up the Festival’s touring program\, has been traveling across the country every year for decades. \nWe focus on short films – narrative\, experimental\, animation\, and documentary – including those\, which address issues and struggles within contemporary society such as the environment\, public health\, race and class\, family\, sustainability\, and much more. These exceptional works range from animation\, comedy\, and drama to the exploration of pure form in film and video and are the heart and soul of the festival.

SUMMARY:Light Industry at Princeton: Mechanics of the Brain (1926) 16mm\, dir. V. I. Pudovkin
DESCRIPTION:The year 1926 represents a privileged moment of the young Soviet film industry\, with Pudovkin\, Eisenstein\, Kuleshov\, Vertov\, Barnet\, Room\, Kozintsev and Trauberg all represented by important work—and some\, including Pudovkin\, with more than one. But Mechanics of the Brain\, Pudovkin’s first film\, was like no other. Interrupted on this project by work on The Mother\, his extremely successful first major film narrative\, Pudovkin returned later that year to complete his documentary on the theory and practice of Pavlovian reflexology. This film is of especial interest in a number of ways… \nFor ten years Light Industry has been one of the leading venues for alternative film and electronic art in New York. This fall Light Industry presents at Princeton a selection of highlights from their first decade. The series is curated by Thomas Beard\, a founder and director of Light Industry\, and organized by Devin Fore (German).

SUMMARY:Light Industry at Princeton: One Way or Another (1977) 16mm\, dir. Sara Gómez
DESCRIPTION:A pioneering figure of Cuban cinema\, Sara Gómez was one of the first women to work within the auspices of the ICAIC\, Cuba’s post-Revolutionary film ministry. De cierta manera (One Way or Another)\, her only feature film\, was the first by a woman in Cuba\, the first shot on 16mm in Cuba\, and one of the few made by an Afro-Cuban director. Yet she did not live to see its ultimate realization. Gómez died during production\, at age 31\, and One Way or Another would be finished by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and other colleagues several years after Gómez completed cinematography. \nFor ten years Light Industry has been one of the leading venues for alternative film and electronic art in New York. This fall Light Industry presents at Princeton a selection of highlights from their first decade.

SUMMARY:Light Industry at Princeton: Modesty\, or Immodesty (1991)\, dir. Hervé Guibert
DESCRIPTION:La Pudeur ou L’Impudeur (Modesty\, or Immodesty) is the sole work on video of Hervé Guibert\, a prolific writer and photographer. Guibert filmed himself with a Panasonic video camera between June 1990 and March 1991\, his daily life in Paris and a sojourn on the island of Elba. First broadcast on January 20\, 1992\, at 11:15 p.m.\, on TF1 in France\, less than a month after Guibert’s death on December 27\, 1991\, it is not clear that it has ever been shown publicly in the United States. For this screening\, Modesty\, or Immodesty will be newly subtitled by Christine Pichini\, whose translation of Guibert’s astounding novel Crazy for Vincent will be published by Semiotext(e) this coming spring. \nFor ten years Light Industry has been one of the leading venues for alternative film and electronic art in New York. This fall Light Industry presents at Princeton a selection of highlights from their first decade. The series is curated by Thomas Beard\, a founder and director of Light Industry\, and organized by Devin Fore (German).

SUMMARY:Light Industry at Princeton: Film and Photo League Program with Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933) 16mm\, dir. Mervyn Le Roy
DESCRIPTION:The National Hunger March (1931\, 16mm\, Film and Photo League); Detroit Workers News Special 1932: Ford Massacre (1932\, 16mm\, Film and Photo League); America Today / The World in Review (1932-34\, 16mm\, Film and Photo League); Bonus March 1932 (1932\, 16mm\, Film and Photo League); with Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933\, 16mm\, dir. Mervyn Le Roy\, musical sequences by Busby Berkeley) \nThese works by Busby Berkeley and the Film and Photo League stand as two remarkable articulations of the same moment of social crisis—the former is classical Hollywood at its most spectacular and immaculately choreographed\, the latter is independent cinema at its most raw\, spontaneous\, and necessary. \nFor ten years Light Industry has been one of the leading venues for alternative film and electronic art in New York. This fall Light Industry presents at Princeton a selection of highlights from their first decade.

SUMMARY:Light Industry at Princeton: A Study in Choreography for Camera (1945) 16mm\, dir. Maya Deren\, with Goshogaoka (1997) 16mm\, dir. Sharon Lockhart
DESCRIPTION:“The space of the field\, the ritual temple and the theater stage have been\, historically\, a place within which dancers moved\,” Maya Deren wrote in a 1960 program note on her films. “But cinema provides a different order of space\, is able to create a different kind of time\, can even cause the human body to perform inhuman movement. These choreographies for camera are not dances recorded by the camera\, they are dances choreographed for and performed by the camera and human beings together.” Made with dancer Talley Beatty\, A Study in Choreography for Camera presents a supreme distillation of Deren’s theory. \nAlthough\, as demonstrated in Sharon Lockhart’s debut feature Goshogaoka\, there can also be a choreographic dimension to the fixed camera and the extended take… Here the emphasis lies not on the expressive potential of camera movement and editing\, but rather on the relationship between a subject and its framing\, both in time and space. As with Deren\, this too is a dance which cannot exist but on film. \nFor ten years Light Industry has been one of the leading venues for alternative film and electronic art in New York. This fall Light Industry presents at Princeton a selection of highlights from their first decade. The series is curated by Thomas Beard\, a founder and director of Light Industry\, and organized by Devin Fore (German).

SUMMARY:Light Industry at Princeton: Playback\, Geeta Dutt
DESCRIPTION:Because of the unique predominance of the musical in South Asian popular cinema\, some of its biggest movie stars never appear on screen. Famous in their own right\, unseen playback singers\, via dubbing\, provide the lilting voices that are heard when characters break into song. For tonight’s program\, modeled after the playback singer compilations that have become a staple of Bollywood home video\, Light Industry presents a diverse selection of musical sequences spanning Geeta Dutt’s filmography\, from her earliest hits recorded as teenager Geeta Roy\, through her work in her husband’s canonical films of the 1950s like Pyaasa\, Khaagaz Ke Phool and Mr. & Mrs. 55\, to the last songs she recorded\, for Basu Battacharya’s 1971 Godard-influenced social portrait Anubhav. Culled from numerous sources of varying legitimacy\, the clips range widely in provenance and visual texture\, calling to mind the numerous bodies through which Dutt’s voice transmigrated. \nFor ten years Light Industry has been one of the leading venues for alternative film and electronic art in New York. This fall Light Industry presents at Princeton a selection of highlights from their first decade. The series is curated by Thomas Beard\, a founder and director of Light Industry\, and organized by Devin Fore (German).

SUMMARY:Light Industry at Princeton: Abstronics\, Mary Ellen Bute
DESCRIPTION:A pioneer of visual music and electronic art\, Mary Ellen Bute produced over a dozen short abstract animations between the 1930s and the 1950s. Set to classical music by the likes of Bach\, Saint-Saëns\, and Shoshtakovich\, and replete with rapidly mutating geometries\, Bute’s filmmaking is at once formally rigorous and energetically high-spirited\, like a marriage of high modernism and Merrie Melodies. In the late 1940s\, Lewis Jacobs observed that Bute’s films were “composed upon mathematical formulae depicting in ever-changing lights and shadows\, growing lines and forms\, deepening colors and tones\, the tumbling\, racing impressions evoked by the musical accompaniment.” Bute herself wrote that she sought to “bring to the eyes a combination of visual forms unfolding along with the thematic development and rhythmic cadences of music.” \nPresented in association with the Center for Visual Music. \nFor ten years Light Industry has been one of the leading venues for alternative film and electronic art in New York. This fall Light Industry presents at Princeton a selection of highlights from their first decade. The series is curated by Thomas Beard\, a founder and director of Light Industry\, and organized by Devin Fore (German).
