They lived long\, full\, beautiful lives. In addition to his inimitable work in film\, video\, painting\, performance and all range of moving images\, Ken started and was at the center of the film program at SUNY-Binghamton and co-founded The Millennium Film Workshop. \n\n\n\nOften dense\, visually-mesmerizing and powerfully constructed\, his works engage deeply with visual processes\, our phenomenological experiences of cinema and our considerable possibilities for perceptual dimension. The two works on celluloid—both from our own Cinema Arts Archive!—we’ll be showing this evening are true masterworks of found/appropriative/collage-brative film: Blond Cobra is made from two abandoned works by his friends\, artists Bob Fleischner and Jack Smith\, combined into a shimmering and lush film with a series of Brechtian disruptions and indeterminacies; Perfect Film is a “record of events literally preserved as found from the curving room floor; carelessly strung on a reel [and] and bought for $5 on Canal Street” depicting\, demonstrating and becoming media in the immediate aftermath of the murder of Malcom X. In addition to these canonical works\, we’ll be featuring digital works from this century\, during which he continued to make mind-eye-boggling and spirited art that feels as fresh\, as daring and as radical as anything he made over seventy years of filmmaking. \n\n\n\nNote: these works often stroboscopic and flickering images. \n\n\n\nExperimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations\, such as LGBT\, Native American\, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres\, and presented in partnership with 51’s Union Cinema\, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape. Recent screenings include Silvia das Fadas\, Courtney Stephens\, Simon Liu\, Helena Wittman\, Jessica Bardsley\, Suneil Sanzgiri\, Mary Helena Clark\, Angelo Madsen Minax\, and Rhayne Vermette to name a few.

From set design\, to costuming to props\, these departments allow for other worlds to be introduced\, sustained and transported in any film. As a key component within the pre-production process it is essential that young filmmakers know how to approach art in their films. Join us at SPECIAL FEATURES to learn more about props & wardrobe budgets\, sourcing & shopping\, and process / mood boards. Local filmmakers and artists\, Kara Mulrooney & Amanda Tollefson\, will lead us in a workshop offering their expertise and backgrounds working on films with high concept art\, commercial products and indie film work. If you interested in art and production design departments\, this Special Features is for you! \nKara Mulrooney is an art-driven filmmaker\, actor\, and educator based in the Midwest. She is currently in post-production on her debut feature film “For the Time Being\,” and recent feature “The Field” (Producer\, Actor) earned international distribution (Gravitas Ventures) including theatrical and VOD\, and a robust festival run. Her previous short “jazzy@32 (a true story)” won the Golden Badger Award at its premiere\, and her short “An Evening at Angelo’s” won the Cream City Cinema Special Jury Prize at its premiere. Mulrooney has screened her work internationally\, including the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner\, and she was commissioned by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center to make two short films (“It’s Gotta Be In Ya\,” “The Saga of the Whittled Hodag.”) \nMulrooney is also a 15+ years freelance video & photo producer with clients include Northwestern Mutual\, American Family Insurance\, Baker Tilly\, GE\, Manpower\, Milwaukee Brewers\, WI Tourism\, WI Department of Transportation\, WI Department of Health Services\, Park Bank\, Landmark Credit Union\, UW-Whitewater\, Exact Sciences & Cologuard\, Vivent Health\, Dignity Health\, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare\, ALS Foundation\, Master Lock\, Snap-on Tools\, Wells Lamont and more.

She has frequently collaborated with Kara Mulrooney\, including costume design for 2019 film The Field which Kara starred in\, and set & costume design for Kara’s feature For The Time Being which is currently in post production & was partially inspired by Amanda’s real life stint making mascot costumes.

For each program\, the curator is invited to program a selection of films around a theme of their choosing. \nThe Cinema Arts Archive now contains over 400 essential works on 16mm film\, and a handful on 35mm\, from a range of historic and contemporary cinema. This unique and expansive archive continues to preserve\, grow\, and reflect the ever-evolving landscape of avant-garde film—representing a commitment to the past\, present\, and future of the medium. Alongside giants like Hollis Frampton\, Bruce Baillie\, Deborah Stratman\, and Jennifer Reeves lie many lesser-known gems ready to ignite curiosity and expand minds. While the collection aims to capture an array of crucial cinematic history\, modes\, and movements\, the majority of work is artist-made\, short form\, and experimental in nature. \n \n\nExperimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations\, such as LGBT\, Native American\, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres\, and presented in partnership with 51’s Union Cinema\, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape.
