San Francisco: ATA Screening September 23
Artists’ Television Access in San Francisco is hosting a screening of my films on September 23, and I’ll be there to present them.
Films from Four Mountain Ranges by Marcy Saude
Recent experimental documentary shorts investigating marginal histories embedded in the landscape. Fragmented tales of outlaws, back-to-the-landers, farmers, and most of all- mountains. Former gold rush boom towns; serial killers in Santa Cruz, California; anabaptist folk medicine as performance art; anarchists and Comanche re-enactors; a rural festival of antique farming technology; quiet looks at counterculture architecture; lots of mountain-gazing in the Rockies, the Sangre de Cristos, Southern Appalachia and the California Redwoods; and attempts to push against the edges of non-fiction form. Approximate program running time: 70 minutes.
still from Sangre de Cristo, 16mm transferred to HD, 00:26:00, 2011
I will be giving an illustrated lecture, George Van Tassel, at Inquiry Toward the Practice of Secular Magic, an evening of art and live cinema at pixel + frequency gallery in Los Angeles at 9pm on Friday and Saturday, August 26 and 27.
About George Van Tassel (the lecture): The life and work of a California eccentric becomes a node for topics such as UFO contactees, magnetic vortices, cell rejuvenation, sacred geometry, visionary architecture, desert mysteries, and pulp paperbacks. A lecture with photos, video, narration and sound.

Screenings April/ May 2011
The Sower Arepo as Works a Wheel will be screening in San Francisco Cinematheque’s Crossroads Festival on May 15 at 4:30 pm as part of the “Realms of Transience” program. There’s a really great mix of old and new works throughout the three day fest.
The European Media Art Festival in Osnabrueck, Germany has listed their full program and I’m excited that Sower Arepo is screening with Erin Espelie’s complex and rich new film Valleys of Fear (After Poe, Pierce and Doyle) as well as a new work by Owen O’Toole; I wish I could attend!
Additionally, I’ll be screening and talking about my MFA thesis project, Sangre de Cristo, on Thursday, April 28 at 7:30 pm in ATLAS 102 on the CU Boulder campus for those who missed the MFA show (or prefer comfy theater seats to gallery benches).
