DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the exhibition The Renegades: American Ava
 nt-Garde Film\, 1960–1973\, the Walker presents a series of free monthly
  screenings curated by contemporary renegades and key figures who informed
  the film culture in the Twin Cities and shaped the Walker’s Ruben/Bents
 on Film and Video Study Collection.   \n\nThe series kicks off in Septembe
 r with a program selected by Cannes Palme d'Or–winning director Apichatp
 ong Weerasethakul\, featuring nine short films (1960 –1973) from the Rub
 en/Bentson Film and Video Study Collection by filmmakers who have inspired
  him. Weerasethakul\, whose otherworldly\, multilayered narratives defy tr
 aditional cinematic storytelling\, is a modern day renegade filmmaker who 
 pushes the boundaries of cinema much like the artists featured in The Rene
 gades. This fall\, the Walker presents the premiere of his new film Mekong
  Hotel and a new work commissioned for the Walker Channel\, Cactus River. 
 \nThe series continues on October 18 with a program of films by Stan Brakh
 age\, selected by Minneapolis-based artist Cameron Gainer\, a former stude
 nt of the filmmaker. November 29 features a program of works from the Walk
 er's Bentson Collection selected by Sally Dixon\, former film curator at t
 he Carnegie Museum of Art and former director of Film in the Cities. The s
 eries concludes on December 20 with a program from former Walker film cura
 tor Melinda Ward. \n\nProgram length 90 minutes.    \n\nTEN SECOND FILM by
  Bruce Conner\nCommissioned by the 1965 New York Film Festival and intende
 d to act as a television commercial and a prelude for the film programs in
  the theater\, Bruce Conner’s TEN SECOND FILM is comprised of 10 film st
 rips\, each 24 frames long\, of countdown leader. 1965\, 16mm\, 10 seconds
 .\nInvocation of My Demon Brother* by Kenneth Anger\nKenneth Anger offers 
 a terrifying vision of war and simmering male puissance that intermingles 
 footage from Vietnam newsreels\, the Haight-Ashbury scene\, and a Satanic 
 ritual performed by the filmmaker himself. Soundtrack composed by Mick Jag
 ger on an electronic keyboard. 1969\, 16mm\, 12 minutes.\nThigh Line Lyre 
 Triangular* by Stan Brakhage\nIn Thigh Line Lyre Triangular\, Stan Brakhag
 e films the birth of his third child. Using gestural painting and hand-scr
 atching superimposed over images\, this work is more abstract than Window 
 Water Baby Moving (1959)\, which documented the birth of Brakhage's first-
 born. 1961\, new 16mm print\, 5 minutes.\nSexual Meditation Motel #1* by S
 tan Brakhage\nPart of the Sexual Meditation series\, this film is a rhythm
 ic and abstract exploration of light\, hand-painted textures\, and the pos
 sibilities of two nudes in a room. 1970\, new 16mm print\, 6 minutes. \nHo
 ld Me While I'm Naked by George Kuchar\nOne of George Kuchar’s best-know
 n works\, Hold Me While I'm Naked is about the trials of a low-budget film
 maker’s attempts to finish an epic melodrama with an actress who quits m
 id-movie because she is tired of being asked to perform nude in almost eve
 ry scene. 1966\, 16mm\, 15 minutes.\nT\,O\,U\,C\,H\,I\,N\,G by Paul Sharit
 s\nA jarring fast-paced flicker film assembled of solid frames of color\, 
 a man’s face\, a hand scratching the surface\, the man’s face with his
  tongue extended\, and scissors positioned to cut\, repeated again and aga
 in in varying order\, concluding only within the individual consciousness 
 of each viewer. 1969\, 16mm\, 11 minutes.\nLapis by James Whitney\nExecute
 d over the course of three years and combining his handmade drawings with 
 the newly invented motion control devices and computer applications of the
  time\, James Whitney’s Lapis is a visually stunning\, classic example o
 f complex abstract art in motion. 1966\, 16mm\, 10 minutes.\nBleu Shut by 
 Robert Nelson\nCombining home movies\, ads\, and other artifacts of pop cu
 lture\, Robert Nelson creates a game-show atmosphere to criticize the bour
 geois quest for pleasure. 1971\, 16mm\, 33 minutes.  \n\n\n* Denotes title
 s donated to the Walker’s Ruben/Bentson Film and Video Study Collection 
 by Sally Dixon. \n
