RECOMMENDED FILM SCREENING
Monday, September 13 7:00PM & 9PM at the IFC Center, 323 Avenue of the Americas, New York (www.ifccenter.com for more information)

Queer/Art/Film presents:
Douglas Crimp & The Films of ACT UP

When theorist Douglas Crimp first published an essay called Mourning and Militancy in 1989, he set off a bomb in both the art and AIDS activism worlds in which he was deeply entrenched. In conjunction with the White Column show, Queer/Art/Film, the monthly series at the IFC Center, has invited Crimp to present a highly personal selection of activist videos, including Gregg Bordowitz’s Fast Trip, Long Drop, and works by Matt Ebert, Ryan Landry, Maria Maggenti, and Jean Carlomusto, many of whom will be present for the screenings.

'LOOKING BACK' - SPECIAL CLOSING EVENT / SCREENING AT ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES
A special one-night screening as a part of the exhibition 'Looking Back - the 4th White Columns Annual', curated by Primary Information
PAUL SHARITS

SHUTTER INTERFACE
(1975, 32 minutes, double 16mm, color, sound)
This 2-projector version of the 4-projector “locational” installation reorganizes the four reels into an equally engaging work meant for theatrical screening.

APPARENT MOTION
(1975, 30 minutes 16mm, color, silent)
One of Sharits’ most sublime pieces, APPARENT MOTION focuses on film grain particles, color and the illusion of motion.

RAPTURE
(1987, 20 minutes, video)
“A pseudo ‘rock video’ which will never be shown on MTV…. ‘Rapture’ is defined as a state of being ecstatically carried away. There is a thin line which I attempt to portray in these tableaux, the border line between the sublime and the repulsive. I wish to have the viewer respond to the tape in an intense but very ambiguous way.” – Paul Sharits
