San Francisco Cinematheque EARLY EVENING EXPERIMENTAL Sunday, November 10, 1996 — San Francisco Art Institute Films by Peter Hutton: Images of Asian Music: A Diary From Life (1973-1974) Budapest Portrait: Memories of a City (1984-1986) "IT'S ALL TRUE" FLIGHT AND OTHER FILMS BY GRETA SNIDER Thursday, November 14, 1996 — Center for the Arts Flight (1996); 16mm, silent, 5 minutes An imprint of my dad's photographs and some other things he left me... About the process of going to heaven. (GS) Mute (1991); 16mm, color, sound, 14 minutes Mute is an irresolute web of shifting power positions. It is a malevolent bed-time story whose focal character, while deviating herself from the grip of the narration, firmly maintains her ambivalence toward her state of menace. Incl'ded is subtitled information, which is the running contrapuntal perspective of the "other," the mute. This commentary blossoms out in the long silent sections, from a discussion of her own involuntary objectification to her problematic "fascination" with a foreign culture. (GS) "Mute cleverly plays with the idea of feminine lack as silence through the structured absence of the female voice, relegated to text at the bottom of the screen. A man's voice speaks of his desire for a woman, detailing the attributes of her body which he finds most pleasing. The text at the bottom of the screen responds, but there is no connection; she is mute, he cannot hear her, and the two registers - voice and text - will not coincide." — Holly Willis Hard-Core Home Movie (1989); 16mm, b&w, sound, 5 minutes Hard-Core is a frank and irreverent documentary that asks the question, "what is hard-core?" Seedy, grainy, and fast-paced, this is a nostalgic look at an ephemeral moment in the history of a subculture: punk rock in San Francisco in the late eighties. Everyone from fucked-up teenagers to elderly Mexican tourists attempts to explain the allure and mystique of the scene. Filmed at S.F.'s historical petting-zoo/theater/punk rock emporium. The Farm. (GS) "Snider combines the eye of an historian with the hand of an artist - the result is oddly archival, and at the same time quite moving. Does the combination add up to nostalgia? During Hardcore Home Movie, I found myself feeling almost wistful, watching scene after scene of punks slamdancing, punks mugging for the camera, punks expressing anger and frustration in fragments of scenes. Yeah, it was nostalgia." — Kate Bomstein 72
