HOWL ! ARTS PROJECT 2009: FILM SERIES presents
Punk Rock, Forever !
Introduction by Amos Poe and Ivan Kral filmmakers:
THE BLANK GENERATION, 1976, directed by Amos Poe and Ivan Kral. Cast: Patti Smith Group, Television, Ramones, The Heartbreakers, Talking Heads, Blondie, Harry Toledo, Marbles, Tuff Darts, Wayne County, Miamis, New York Dolls, The Shirts. B/W, sound. 55 min. 16mm print courtesy of Amos Poe.
“In 1976 Ivan Kral joined the Patti Smith Group and became friendly with underground filmmaker Amos Poe. Poe and Kral were both interested in the punk rock scenes that was just beginning to emerge in New York City at venues like CBGB and Max’s Kansas City, and they began bringing cameras to shows, shooting silent footage of bands who were beginning to develop potent reputations in the rock underground. Poe and Kral married their silent footage with live tapes or demo recordings of the bands (most of whom had yet to release a record) to create a deliberately rough audio-visual record of the burgeoning punk scene.” (Wikipedia)
Introduction by M. Henry Jones, filmmaker:
SOUL CITY, 1979, directed by M. Henry Jones. Cast: The Fleshtones. Color, sound. 2 min. 16mm print courtesy of the New York Film-Makers’ Cooperative.
“In Henry Jones' words, this film is intended to, ‘Visually counterpoint the music of a subculture.’ Punk rock group FLESHTONES perform the song "Soul City," as tiny black & white cut-out figures, (with hand-tinted flesh tones), against a flickering background of brilliant color. In SOUL CITY, Jones 'recycled' the same basic movements of his subjects by reconstructing totally new motions from the same severely limited amount of footage. This was done through alteration of perspective, and reversal of selected movements at varying intervals. The number of movements a subject can make, artificially created from a few basics, becomes almost limitless.” (Bikini Girl Magazine)
Introduction by Maggie Carson, filmmaker:
PUNKING OUT, 1979, directed by Maggie Carson, Juliusz Kossakowski, and Fredric A. Shore. Cast: Stiv Bators, Cheetah Chrome, Richard Hell, Hilly Kristal, Lydia Lunch, Dee Dee Ramone, Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Helen Wheels. B/W, sound, 25 min. 16mm print courtesy of the Reserve Film and Video Collection of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, with the permission of Ric Shore, Managing Producer. Punking Out has been preserved with funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
“Documents the beginning of the punk rock movement in New York City at CBGB’s, a punk night club, and the lifestyle that revolves around this scene. Presents a sometimes shocking look at the attitudes and motivations behind the movement through interviews with outspoken club-goers and band members of the Ramones, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, and the Dead Boys.” (New York Public Library Catalogue)

Jack Smith and the Lower East Side (as Seen by Ken Jacobs)
Introduction by Ken Jacobs, filmmaker:
BLONDE COBRA, 1963, directed by Ken Jacobs, based on images gathered by Bob Fleischner. Cast: Jack Smith. B/W, sound, 16mm. 33 min. 16mm print courtesy of the New York Film-Makers’ Coop.
“BLONDE COBRA is an erratic narrative – no, not really a narrative, it’s only stretched out in time for convenience of delivery. It’s a look in on an exploding life, on a man of imagination suffering pre-fashionable lower East Side deprivation and consumed with American 1950s, ‘40s, ‘30s disgust. Silly, self-pitying, guilt-stricken and yet triumphing – on one level – over the situation with style, because he’s unapologetically gifted, has a genius for courage, knows that a state of indignity can serve to show his character in sharpest relief. He carries on, states his presence for what it is. Does all he can to draw out our condemnation, testing our love for limits, enticing us into an absurd moral posture the better to dismiss us with a regal ‘screw-off’.” (Ken Jacobs)
FLAMING CREATURES, 1963, directed by Jack Smith. Cast: Francis Francine, Sheila Bick, Joel Markman, Dolores Flores, Arnold, Judith Malina, Marian Zazeela. B/W, sound, 16mm. 42 min. 16mm print courtesy of the New York Film-Makers’ Coop.
“Jack Smith has graced the anarchic liberation of new American cinema with graphic and rhythmic power worthy of the best of formal cinema. He has attained for the first time in motion pictures a high level of art which is absolutely lacking in decorum; and a treatment of sex which makes us aware of the restraint of all previous filmmakers. He has shown more clearly than anyone before how the poet’s license includes all things, not only of spirit, but also of flesh; not only of dreams and of symbol, but also of solid reality. In no other art but the movies could this have so fully been done; and their capacity was realized by Smith” (Film Culture Magazine)
Plus sequences from other films made by Ken Jacobs starring Jack Smith, including TWO WRENCHING DEPARTURES and STAR SPANGLED TO DEATH. B/W and color, sound. DVD courtesy of Ken Jacobs.

NEWSREEL: JONAS IN THE BRIG, 1964, directed by Storm de Hirsch. With Jonas Mekas and members of the Living Theatre. B/W, silent, 5 min. 16m print courtesy of the New York Film-Makers’ Cooperative.
“A newsreel of Jonas Mekas shooting his filmed version of ‘The Brig” on the set of the Living Theatre production. ” (Storm de Hirsch)
THE BRIG, 1963, directed by Jonas Mekas. With members of the Living Theatre. B/W, sound, 68 min. 16mm print courtesy of the New York Film-Makers’ Cooperative.
“Part drama, part polemic, with shock-wave sound and a nightmare air that suggests Kafka with a Kodak, the movie does exactly what it sets out to do – seizes the audience by the shirtfront and slams it around from wall to wall for one grueling day in a Marine Corps lockup.” (Time Magazine)
STREET SONGS, 1983, directed by Jonas Mekas. With Julian Beck and members of the Living Theatre. B/W, sound, 10 min. 16mm print courtesy of The New York Film-Makers Cooperative.
“Made in 1966/1983 ‘STREET SONGS’ is a 1966 performance, in France, of a section of the Living Theater’s ‘Mysteries and Smaller Pieces.” Based on a chance-determined scenario written by Jackson Maclow in 1961, STREET SONGS weaves militant political chants into a mandala of mantras. Julian Beck sits cross legged on an empty stage; the slogan he repeats – ‘Free All Men! Ban the Bomb! Stop the War! Free the Blacks! Change the World!’ – are both meditation and calls to action, as a crowd of voices answers each slogan and actors join him on stage to pace in a circle, clasp one another’s shoulders and collectively breathe ‘Ohmm…’” (the Village Voice)

“Framed by on New York's Lower East Side, where some of the homeless of Tompkins Square Park settled after the riots of June 1991, the movie begins with the encampment's first night and ends with the fire and subsequent destruction of the lot in October of the same year. Applying rhythmic construction, poetic license and a generous eye to bodies in poverty, B/SIDE documents a gritty vision of late 20th century urban life.” (New York Film-Makers’ Cooperative Catalogue)

Rooted in jazz, blues, gospel, and New Orleans style, her latest CD "I Must Be Dreaming," is a 2008 Village Voice Jazz Consumer Guide listing. She has garnered consistent raves throughout the U.S. and Europe including: "Ms. Natal bends and twists her notes in unexpected fashions, makes startling leaps around the scales, and has the daring to expand and extend what might be a satisfactory note to open up a fresh and revealing color” ( NY Times) and "...she's a hell of a singer...(her) intense 'You Go to My Head' ends up somewhere close to Coltrane's 'Equinox.' This is jazz singing at its highest level." (Cadence).

On a June evening in 1938 director Orson Welles, producer John Houseman and the cast and crew of a new Broadway musical were locked out of their theater on opening night by armed servicemen under orders from the Federal Govt. Without costumes, sets, lights or sound, Welles and Houseman found an unused theater, rented an upright piano and marched their audience up Broadway for what has become the most historic theatrical opening ever recorded. The entire libretto performed from the audience by actors forbidden to step onto the stage, received a 40 minute standing ovation, as legend has it. An operetta about greed, corruption and the plight of the worker could not be more timely.

A midwestern town's annual food fair is in full swing. Locals converge along the banks of the muddy river to sample pulled pork, baked beans, and corn. Nineteen-year-old runaway Jim comes for the meth. New Yorker Karen, on a rare return to her roots, picks at her barbecued chicken, potato salad, and a very old wound. Her townie brother Tripp sharpens his teeth on some juicy ribs and a simmering sibling rivalry. All any of them really craves is a good helping of love and acceptance, and even just a taste of “welcome home."
“The Common Swallow,” was developed in the Dorothy Strelsin New American Writers
Group at Primary Stages. David Caudle is also author of the acclaimed, award winning play, “The Sunken Living Room.”

TRY! TRY! by Frank O’ Hara
Produced by Verse Theater Manhattan:
Richard Ryan Producer
“A wife waits for her husband to come home form the war. Her lover waits for her husband to come home from the war. Her husband comes home from the war. This won’t be pretty.”
Try! Try!, first published in 1951, is among O’Hara’s earliest theater pieces, and remains one of his most lyrical and accessible works – in its unnerving blend of Greek tragedy and Hollywood farce it remains both delightful and unsettling. The poet Frank O’Hara (awarded the National Book Award for Poetry posthumously in 1972) was a key figure in the postwar New York School of poets and painters which includes poets John Ashbery and James Schuyler, and painters Larry Rivers and Jasper Johns.
•••••
Clutter by Kristin Prevallet
Produced by Verse Theater Manhattan
A boy. A girl. A radio. Trying to make sense out of chaos.
“Clutter,” poet Kristin Prevallet's one-act lyric drama, is a love story about social absurdity and poetic crisis. A girl searches for meaning in words that make sense only to her. A boy tries to counter chaos by rearranging the furniture. Luckily they share the same muse -- a voice from the radio -- who reveals the secret that just might bring them back together.

AT MILLENNIUM FILM WORKSHOP 66 East 4th St (between Bowery & 2nd Aves.)
Thurs – Sunday Sept 17 -20
Tickets: www.brownpapertickets.com
Using Allen Ginsberg (the inspiration for the HOWL! Festival) as a point of departure, this series of programs links film and video to the various underground creative movements transpiring in the East Village in fact and in spirit: poetry, music, theater, performance, and the fine arts, as well as protests affirming sexuality, opposing gentrification, and supporting the flourishing of a subversive culture.
Two different film and video programs presented each day, organized around specific personalities, themes, locales, or motifs will include:
“Allen Ginsberg on Film”,
“Jack Smith and the Lower East Side
(as seen by Ken Jacobs)”,
“The Living Theater and the New American Cinema”,
“Punk Rock, Forever!”,
“In and Around Tomkins Square Park”, and
“A Moveable Feast: A Tribute to the New York Film-Makers’ Cooperative”. Special invited guests will appear to introduce individual films in the programs and to engage in a discussion with the audience.
The Millennium has a long tradition of showing work by independent film and video artists, and was a familiar haunt of Ginsberg during his lifetime.

Arthur’s Landing (Songs by Arthur Russell)
Friday Sept 11 5pm – 7pm
Part of Art on the Bowery
ARTHUR'S LANDING is a group of musicians who all worked at various times in various contexts with the late Arthur Russell, a cellist and composer from Iowa who lived for most of the later part of his too short life on the Lower East Side. Russell brought together the worlds of dance, pop, and folk with that of downtown's “new music,” and fused Western musical tradition with elements of the Eastern, driven by his engagement with Buddhist thought and practice. He collaborated often with Allen Ginsberg, and Phillip Glass was also an early mentor. Arthur Russell is the focus of the feature length 2008 documentary Wild Combination from director Matt Wolf. A biography, called Hold Onto Your Dreams by Tim Lawrence, is due out this year.
The Arthur’s Landing ensemble will perform pop songs, parts of a longer instrumental work called “Singing Tractors” and will be available following the performance to answer questions about Russell’s life and work.
ARTHUR'S LANDING (songs by Arthur Russell ) Joyce Bowden- voice; Steven Hall-voice, guitar; Ernie Brooks -voice, bass; John Scherman-lead guitar; Bill Ruyle- drums, hammered dulcimer; Mustafa Ahmed-percussion; Peter Zummo- voice, trombone; Alex Waterman – cello.

Poets Theater Double Bill
TRY! TRY! by Frank O’ Hara
Richard Ryan Producer
45 Bleecker Street Theater
Downstairs Green Room
45 Bleecker Street (Just East of Lafayette at Mulberry Street)
$10 (with Clutter)
Try! Try!, first published in 1951, is among O’Hara’s earliest theater pieces, and remains one of his most lyrical and accessible works – in its unnerving blend of Greek tragedy and Hollywood farce it remains both delightful and unsettling.
“A wife waits for her husband to come home form the war. Her lover waits for her husband to come home from the war. Her husband comes home from the war.
“This won’t be pretty.”
The poet Frank O’Hara (awarded the National Book Award for Poetry posthumously in 1972) was a key figure in the postwar New York School of poets and painters which includes poets John Ashbery and James Schuyler, and painters Larry Rivers and Jasper Johns. Enormously influential on subsequent generations of American poets, O’Hara’s poetry was at once colloquial and dreamy, embracing high modernism, camp, pop, and surrealism in their uncanny range of styles and influences. His remarkable works for the stage were often originally produced in collaboration with the legendary Living Theater, a seminal force in the downtown arts scene of the 50s and 60s, and are important early examples of performance art as a genre.
Verse Theater Manhattan (VTM) is the preeminent theater company in the English speaking world devoted exclusively to verse drama. VTM is devoted to discovering and staging the best of old and new verse drama and bringing it to the widest possible audience. VTM's mission is both practical and high-minded: as producers we coordinate and support the theatrical effort of poets, directors, and performers working to bring verse drama to the stage; as supporters of the New York cultural environment, we unite the city's diverse theatrical and literary community.
VTM is open to all styles, genres, and periods of verse drama. VTM seeks out contemporary and ancient texts, classics and translations. VTM is especially interested in encouraging and promoting the work of living poets working to bring verse to the stage.

Clutter, poet Kristin Prevallet's one-act lyric drama, is a love story about social absurdity and poetic crisis. A girl searches for meaning in words that make sense only to her. A boy tries to counter chaos by rearranging the furniture. Luckily they share the same muse -- a voice from the radio -- who reveals the secret that just might bring them back together.

This is jazz singing at its highest level." (Cadence).

Legends Of the Lower East Side:
Joey Arias, Basil Twist, Psychotica (Featuring Patrick Briggs) and Lavinia Co-op
45 Bleecker Street Theater
Lobby Theater
45 Bleecker Street (Just East of Lafayette at Mulberry Street)
$10
From the 1970's on, each of the performers featured this evening paved the way for today's incredible performance renaissance on the Lower East Side, and each is still presenting valid, thought-provoking work today.
From his performances with Klaus Nomi, backing David Bowie on 'Saturday Night Live' and the seminal, grand-scale 'Mermaids On Heroin,' to his Billy Holiday-isms, 'Zoo-manity' in Las Vegas, and the triumphantly spectacular 'Arias With A Twist,' Joey Arias has written the book on how to retain one's integrity and crediblity while crossing over into the (somewhat) mainstream flow of Popular Culture.
With a score of interweaving influences, Basil Twist has taken the ancient art of puppetry into whole new realms as evidenced by his work on Shakespeare-In-the-Park's 'Hamlet', his collaboration with Joey Arias in 'Arias With A Twist,' as well as Broadway's upcoming 'The Addams Family" musical.
His soaring signature vocals have highlighted the oeuvre of the indy Pop/metal bands he has been in. Tonight, 'Psychotica' takes Patrick Briggs well-beyond the 21st century with his quirky, hook-laden, and stellar songwriting.
A charter member of the legendary performance troupe, Bloo-lips, and whose one-person monthly, 'Chez Lavinia' has been packin' them in at the East Village's Brit-Pub, Telephone, Lavinia Co-op hosts the evening' festivities with his own colorful brand of Music Hall, slapstick, and tongue-in-cheek Vaudeville.

Selected bio's as of 8/15/2009:
New York born Brian Butterick (AKA HATTIE HATHAWAY) has been a performer, writer, producer and personality working in Downtown art, theatre, film and nightlife for over thirty years. Most recently (2007-08), Butterick co-curated the East Village cafe, bookstore and performance space, Rapture Cafe and Books. He appeared in Steven Schainberg's Fur, starring Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr. and made his Broadway debut in The Roundabout Theatre's production The Threepenny Opera, newly translated by Wallace Shawn, directed by Scott Elliot and starring Alan Cumming and Cyndi Lauper.
In the 1990's, Butterick co-produced the famed New York Meat Market Tuesday-night-only boite, Jackie 60, and still presents Night Of a Thousand Stevies, the world-famous annual tribute to Stevie Nicks, now in its 20th year, From 1991-95, he produced, directed and acted in the underground theatrical ensemble, BlackLips, which created performance installations in venues as diverse as a SoHo gallery, Pridefest, a run down Chelsea theatre, and Barney's New York.
In the 1980's,. Butterick co-founded The Pyramid Club, a venue that melded the perfoming arts with music and drag and gave rise to such performers as The "Lady" Bunny, RuPaul, the chart-topping dance act Dee-lite, and produced the first area appearances of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gwar, Psychic TV, and Nirvana. From 1985-89, he co-founded and produced Wigstock, Tompkins Square Park's outdoor festival of drag performance, which was later immortalized in the Goldwyn film of the same name. During this time, Butterick also appeared in numerous independent films, most notably Charles Atlas' Son Of Sam & Delilah, for PBS, as well as composing and performing with the post-punk band, 3 Teens Kill 4.
Hattie has also performed, written and produced a variety of theatrical pieces for many Off-off Broadway venues such as La Mama ETC and PS 122, as well as appearing in works by Penny Arcade, John Kelly, Richard Move, Helen Stratford, Kestutis Nakas, and the late Ethyl Eichelberger.

(Co-Curator)
BECCA GOLDSTEIN began filming this documentary at the age of sixteen and has been pursuing it for the past five years. Growing up she was inspired by films such as Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Tarnation. When she discovered New York’s downtown music scene she was drawn to its energy and wanted to exhibit it in some way. This documentary is a culmination of that. She is currently an undergraduate at Sarah Lawrence College with a major in art history.
She lives in New York City.(Director:The Lisa Jackson Documentary)
LISA JACKSON was a staple in New York’s downtown music scene from 2001-2007. She was a headlining act at CBGBs and The Knitting Factory as well as many other great New York clubs. Additionally she toured the U.S. and appeared with such great acts as Sandra Bernhard, Psychedelic Furs, Pat Benetar, and the Motels. In 2004 she was nominated for Out Musician of the Year and in 2006 her self-titled album (along with her band, Girl Friday) reached the top 10 on Sirius OutQ.
She is currently pursuing her college degree and lives in New York City.

Her work has received awards, and been exhibited extensively at various galleries, museums and festivals internationally. She resides in New York City.
New York City-born director and visual artist ROB ROTH has been called “the mad man incarnate”. A persistent and influential presence in the city’s downtown art and culture since the early 1990’s, his work draws from photography, video, painting, dramaturgy and theater to create experiences that transcend the limits of media and performance. Roth’s work uses innovative, multi-disciplinary techniques such as projecting video on the live bodies of actors and dancers to represent the 'inside' of a performance, its essence and soul. Technology is more than a backdrop or superficial projection in Roth’s performances. It functions as a character, a performance enhancer, or instrument with which to amplify the experience. Scent is just one of the many inventive techniques Roth uses to communicate with participants sensually, outside the human constructs of language or image. His use of sensory communication offers a direct link to the more primal elements of existence. His work has been exhibited at a variety of venues including the New Museum for Contemporary Art, Performance Space122, Abrons Art Center, Galapagos Art Space, and Deitch Projects as well as the Whitney Museum of American Art.
After receiving his BFA from Pratt Institute in 1991, Roth co-founded ‘Click + Drag’, the infamous Saturday night at the legendary nightclub Mother, run by nightlife royalty Chi Chi Valenti and Johnny Dynell. ‘Click + Drag’, an amalgamation of art, fashion and atmosphere, blended computer-age references with a theatrical sensibility, sexual ambiguity and a strict dress code (future, cyber, fetish, gothic, post-apocalyptic, glam-nerd, gender-hacking and full period costume)- to create a hedonistic and simultaneous dystopia/utopia. At this weekly epic happening, Roth combined photography, design, and performance with live video feeds and projections, helping define a new aesthetic for the new millennium. The event has now been rebooted as a yearly gathering with the next installment, “Click + Drag 3.1”. The Second Coming”, scheduled for October 17th, 2009 at Santos Party House in NYC.
Roth has worked constantly since the closing of Mother in 2001, creating a variety of work for such artists as Deborah Harry/Blondie, Theo Kogan (Lunachicks) Justin Bond (Kiki and Herb), Big Art Group and acclaimed performance artist Julie Tolentino. Commercially Rob has designed visual effects and movie title sequences for such films as “El Cantante” (director: Leon Ichaso) and “The Brave One” (director: Neil Jordan). Roth’s most recent work includes ‘Ascension No1’, which premiered at Arena Studios May, 2009, and is the first of 3 durational performance pieces which explore ritual, endurance and stamina. Previously, Rob Roth directed ‘The Mystery of Claywoman – Screening and Lecture’, a mockumentary/performance piece written and performed by Michael Cavadias, featuring performances by Amy Poehler, Alan Cumming and Edgar Oliver, which premiered at The New Museum of Contemporary Art. ‘Claywoman’ follows Roth's “rocket opera”, ‘Screen Test’, starring Theo and the Skyscrapers and choreographed by Vangeline Theater, which won the LiveDesign Magazine Excellence Award for Theater in 2009.
