Bruce Baillie. Courtesy of Lux. The first time he saw Bruce Baillie, a fiery Peter Kubelka recounted in front of an amused audience at the Austrian Film Museum, the American filmmaker was pulling off a headstand in a classroom before taking his students out on the campus to collect garbage. In the filmmaking of Baillie and his organization Canyon Cinema, which was showcased from January 30 to February 3 in five programs curated by Garbiñe Ortega, ideas of life and community are transformed into sounds, colors and film. Sometimes those ideas exceed the films. As Mr. Baillie has put it himself in an interview with Richard Corliss in 1971, “I always felt that I brought as much truth out of the environment as I could, but I’m tired of coming out of. . . . I want everybody really lost, and I want us all to be at home there. Something like that. Actually I am not interested in that,...

Iconic underground filmmaker, and the founder of the underground filmmaking movement in San Francisco in the early 1960s, Bruce Baillie made an appearance at a two-night retrospective of his work at Los Angeles’s Redcat Theater on November 3 & 4. The Underground Film Journal attended the second night of screenings, from which the photograph above and the ones in the gallery below were taken.
The November 3 screening, which the Journal missed, included Baillie’s films Here I Am (1962), Tung (1966), All My Life (1966), Castro Street (1966), Valentin de las Sierras (1968), Little Girl (1966).
The November 4 screening was of Baillie’s feature-length epic, Quick Billy (1970), plus the short film Roslyn Romance (1977) and some unedited 16mm camera rolls taken around the time of the production of Quick Billy.
While Quick Billy is an astounding piece of film art, the real highlight of the Nov. 4 screening was the appearance of Baillie himself, who spoke for what seemed about an hour before the film.

An old-fashioned and ornate cinema in San Francisco's famous Castro District
Ashley Clark is a freelance writer and film programmer. He is a regular contributor to Sight & Sound and Little White Lies, and runs a series of events under the banner of his blog Permanent Plastic Helmet. His next event is a screening of The Warriors at Clapham Picturehouse on July 15, 2013. If there's a cinema you'd like to tell us about for a future Cine-files, drop an email to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk.
Location
This single-screen cinema is located at 429 Castro Street, near the intersection of Market and 17th Streets, at the northern entrance of San Francisco's famous Castro District. Once a regular old working-class area, Castro transformed throughout the 1960s and 70s into one of the very first gay neighbourhoods in the Us, as immortalised in Gus van Sant's Milk.

National Coming Out Day is this Thursday (October 11), and I can think of no better way to commemorate it than by revisiting The Times of Harvey Milk, the 1984 Academy Award winner for Best Documentary Feature that tells the story of that ebullient and righteous San Francisco Board Supervisor who was responsible for passing a stringent gay rights ordinance, earned the fitting nickname "the Mayor of Castro Street," and didn't mind shaking hands with political adversaries while telling them, "You never know where my hand has been." There's no other way to put it: Harvey Milk ruled. His energy was infectious, his message was raw, and it's impossible not to wonder what else he'd have accomplished if jilted, Twinkie-tweaking Dan White hadn't murdered him (and Mayor George Moscone) on November 27, 1978. Sure, we'll always have Sean Penn's deeply accurate portrayal from Milk to remind us of his power, but The Times of Harvey Milk...

Whether it was the "Wizard of Oz" sing-alongs that did it, the organ concerts, the Rachel Maddow conversation or the emotional "Milk" premiere, every San Franciscan has a soft spot for the Castro Theatre.
And this weekend, the historic theatre celebrates its 90th anniversary with a two-day extravaganza that is sure to light up Castro Street.
This weekend's events will include live concerts, a "Mary Poppins" sing-a-long, and screenings of "The Big Sleep," "Where Danger Lives," "Gone with the Wind" and "Citizen Cane."
"There aren't many of these magic movie palaces left," said Don Nasser, whose family owns the theatre, to the San Francisco Chronicle. Nasser's family has owned the theatre since it opened, and has been in the San Francisco movie business for over a century.
But while many independent movie houses have sadly shuttered across the Bay Area, the Castro has remained.

This year marked the 50th anniversary of the Ann Arbor Film Festival, which would be a milestone for any cinema-related event in the U.S. But for a festival that has carved out a niche in the area of experimental and avant-garde film and video, Aaff's achievement is especially noteworthy. Even within the rarefied realm of cinephilia, the avant-garde tends to be something on the margins, or even in the best of circumstances (e.g., the Rotterdam, New York, or Toronto film festivals) one part of a much larger whole. So the fact that Ann Arbor and its intrepid citizens have continued to support this strange little festival, and all the bizarre films the festival has thrown their way over the years, speaks very highly of both the town and the festival founders and organizers (many of whom were present for an on-stage birthday ceremony,...

It’s the 50th anniversary of the Ann Arbor Film Festival and they’re preparing an all-out blowout on March 27 to April 1 to celebrate! The fest is crammed to the gills with the latest and greatest in experimental and avant-garde film, in addition to a celebration of classic work from Ann Arbors past.
Filmmaker Bruce Baillie was there at the first Aaff — and numerous times since. He’s back this year with a major retrospective of his entire career that spans three separate programs. Baillie, who’ll be in attendance of course, will present a brand-new restored version of his epic pseudo-Western Quick Billy, plus screenings of his classic short movies such as Castro Street, Yellow Horse, Quixote, To Parsifal and more.
There’s also a program dedicated to the films of the late Robert Nelson, including Bleu Shut and Special Warning, as well as sprinklings of underground classics throughout...

Bruce Baillie, one of the leading figures in underground film history, will be attending this year’s Ann Arbor Film Festival as part of the fest’s 50th anniversary spectacular on March 27 to April 1. He will be at the event to present three programs of his work.
Baillie has had a long association with the Aaff, having screened a mini then-retrospective of his films at the festival’s very first year in 1963.
In addition to making classic avant-garde films such as To Parsifal (1963), Quick Billy (1971) and Castro Street (1966), Baillie was also the founder of the Canyon Cinema distribution cooperative and a co-founder of the San Francisco Cinematheque.
For their 50th anniversary, Aaff will be inviting several returning filmmakers to participate in the celebration.

The florist who survived San Francisco's Aids epidemic, a triumph for Iranian cinema, and a lifetime achievement gong for Stephen Frears
He's still there
One of the most charismatic characters I've seen all year is in the wistful documentary We Were Here. The film, directed by David Weissman, looks back at how the Aids epidemic swept through San Francisco's gay community in the early 1980s. The story is told through the testimonies of a few survivors, people who were in the city's Castro neighbourhood, before the "gay plague" hit, and are still there now. One such man is Guy Clark, an African American who came to San Francisco in the mid-70s and set up a flower stall on the corner of Castro Street.
Sadly, his blooms became used for thousands of funerals during the worst years of the epidemic, but he himself lives to tell many stories in this very fine documentary.

"Romanian films set in the era after the fall of Communism suggest the nation suffers a hell of a hangover from the ideology," writes Steve Erickson in Gay City News. "For instance, Corneliu Porumboiu's Police, Adjective attacks draconian drug laws left over from the old regime. Tuesday, After Christmas presents a very different vision of Romania. Its characters can afford to buy expensive Christmas gifts; one of them picks up a 3,300 Euro telescope. It may not be entirely accurate to call the film apolitical, but the most political thing about it is its avoidance of Eastern European miserabilism and its depiction of people who could be living much the same lifestyles in Western Europe."

Red Flag Releasing, a global distribution upstart helmed by Paul Federbush, Laura Kim, both former Warner Independent Picture executives, and Ron Stein, a financier and producer on The Kids Are All Right, have picked up We Were Here for their second theatrical release after last year’s 8: The Mormon Proposition. An official Sundance selection this year, We Were Here takes a somber, but hopeful look back at the AIDS epidemic that broke out within the homosexual community in San Francisco during the 1980s by following the remembrances of five people who lived through it. The film will grace Us theaters this September. Gist: In the early 1980s, AIDS was known as the “Gay Plague” when hundreds of homosexual people started dying of a then unknown immune deficiency disease. Thanks to San Francisco's unique progressive gay community, its heart found in the Castro Street neighborhood, helped the majority of the...

Craig here with another Take Three.
Today: James Franco
Well hell, if I didn’t feature James Franco on Take Three now I never will. His largely supporting career is likely to spill over into full-time leading man status any day now. I’d bet my Spider-Man box-set that in seven months he’ll have either a Best Actor Oscar sat on his desk or at least a well-deserved nomination as consolation; his lead role in Danny Boyle’s freshly-completed true-life tale 127 Hours will surely see him shunted up a few rungs on both the awards and career ladder.
<-- Franco in the true story 127 Hours
Either way, this time next year Franco may very well be beating off his peers for bigger, meatier roles in even more substantial fare (The Rise of Franco may coincide with The Rise of the Apes), or he may continue alternating occasional leads with...

First the history, then the list:
In 1969, Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, Stan Brakhage, and Jonas Mekas decided to open the world’s first museum devoted to film. Of course, a typical museum hangs its collections of artwork on the wall for visitors to walk up to and study. However, a film museum needs special considerations on how — and what, of course — to present its collection to the public.
Thus, for this film museum, first a film selection committee was formed that included James Broughton, Ken Kelman, Peter Kubelka, Jonas Mekas and P. Adams Sitney, plus, for a time, Stan Brakhage. This committee met over the course of several months to decide exactly what films would be collected and how they would be shown. The final selection of films would come to be called the The Essential Cinema Repertory.
The Essential Cinema Collection that the committee came up with consisted of about 330 films.

Big news for Joshua Grannell's All About Evil . The supposedly madcap horror film, that sources tell us channel John Waters, is making its North America premiere in San Francisco on Saturday, May 1 at the Castro Theater (429 Castro Street) beginning at 10:45pm. More details can be found at the official site . Starring Thomas Dekker, Natasha Lyonne, Noah Segan and Anthony Fitzgerald, the film follows a mousy librarian who inherits her father's beloved but failing old movie house, The Victoria Theater. In order to save the family business, she discovers her inner serial killer - and starts turning out a series of grisly short films. Deborah quickly cultivates a rabid legion of San Franciscan gore fans who help catapult her to newfound local celebrity - business booms so quickly,...

I first became aware of Joshua Grannell and his alter ego, Peaches Christ, on a trip to San Francisco in 2000, maybe 2001? I was dating a guy who had moved down from Sf to Los Angeles, and on one of our many trips up north we took in a screening of Showgirls at the Midnight Mass summer film series. Peaches was the host of the evening, and the show opened with a re-enactment of both the “Goddess” number and the “Nomi F-s Zack in the pool” scene with drag queens (and one drag king playing “Zack.”) I was hooked.
Over the years I would try and catch Midnight Mass screenings whenever I was up in Sf. I found out that Peaches was actually Grannell who was actually a manager at the Bridge, the theater in which the madness took place. Grannell programmed the series, and created unique pre-shows with his drag...

Listen up, all you jive turkeys. There's been too much control given to 'The Man' in this country. And we need a hero. We need someone with soul and badassery, someone who can reign down terror on the forces of evil and bring the heat to the ladies. We need Black Dynamite. Black Dynamite, directed by Scott Sanders and starring Michael Jai White (The Dark Knight), follows the story of the meanest, baddest crime fighting man ever to hit the streets. And now he's coming to your town -- that is, if you live in any of the following towns. They are setting up a series of midnight openings in several cities, including the former home of Fsr, Columbus, Ohio. For those who are uncool enough to have no idea what Black Dynamite is, I would suggest that you read my Sundance review and/or check out the trailer below. Further...
