A little Fassbinder...

Fassbinder Screening Intro_07.20.24

Hello everyone and welcome to Whammy! Before we get into Fassbinder, a little housekeeping.

My name is Ian and I am a volunteer for TAPE Los Angeles - we are a nonprofit dedicated to Teaching, Archiving, Preserving, and Exhibiting analog media.

Along with collectively programming film and video titles, as is the case with tonight’s screening, we offer low-cost to FREE digital transfers for VHS tapes and other common formats.

Become a member with us today for just $5 a month, and you will have access to our equipment rental library which includes 16mm Bolex cameras, Super 8 cameras, CRT TVs, VCRs, VHS Camcorders and more, along with access to our FREE rental library of VHS tapes.

So please consider your tax-deductible donation tonight, find Jessica or Erik after the show for our Paypal donation link. Any amount helps - we are currently fundraising for multiple new equipment purchases as well as a series of hands-on workshops in order to provide smooth and affordable access of film and video equipment to our local community of artists, professionals, and enthusiasts.

Please help us out by silencing or turning off your phone, and not taking photos of the screen (with one exception, which we’ll talk about shortly). There is a restroom by the entrance which is our only exit.

And now... Who was Rainer Werner Fassbinder?

A German, Gemini, Bisexual, Libertine, Terrorist, Tyrant. A Genius.

My very first Fassbinder was his last, Querelle, which you’ve just watched the trailer for. Herr Fassbinder was 37 years old, the age I am now. He had already made over 40 feature films, one motion picture every hundred days for the past 13 years. He died in June, most likely from a tragic combination of poor health, a drug overdose, and suicidal ideation. In February he had won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival with Veronika Voss, he hoped Querelle would take the Golden Palm at Cannes, and planned for his next picture to take the Golden Lion at Venice -- a “hat trick” that would culminate in an Oscar and the cover of TIME magazine.

“Grow ugly and work. Then, and only then, let them come. I want to be ugly on the cover of Time-- it’ll happen and I’m glad about it and I admit it--when ugliness has finally

reclaimed all beauty. That is luxury.”

He was planning a biopic about Rosa Luxembourg, which would eventually be made by Margarethe von Trotta. He wanted to do a remake of Joan Crawford’s Possessed. He had a slate of films ready to go.

Tracing Rainer’s influences during childhood can be just as dizzying a task to get a hold on as is his filmography. He had been named for the poet Rainer Maria Rilke. As a child he wrote a theater piece about flowers falling in love. He went to a Rudolf Steiner school, brought up by anthroposophists, he watched hundreds of movies, many American ones, he had murderous fantasies toward his mother and was often surrounded by pimps and sex workers. He and Udo Kier would later become a pimp-prostitute pair (i’ll let you guess which was which). Rainer seduced where he could not strong-arm. He inserted himself into scenes and gathered collaborators around him the way Andy Warhol was doing at the Factory, in service of one unifying vision--his own. All of this despite Rainer’s crippling shyness, even around Warhol himself, who Rainer referred to as Andreas. He had a way of making people his though, getting them to change their allegiances. His Action Theater group’s headquarters was bombed out by a member of the Baader/Meinhof gang, but not for any political reason, it was personal. The man’s wife had left him to go live with Rainer and another one of the director’s revolving cast of actor-come-lovers. He renamed most of his male friends, often giving them women’s names. For Rainer, the women in his life were all surrogates for different parts of himself. His pictures abound with female characters, and he told his own stories through them. He loved women, and men, sometimes simultaneously, though he made statements such as Love is Colder Than Death. Much was made of the suicides of Rainer’s former lovers, the bouts of violence, his cool, promiscuous indifference, the long periods of melancholy. “The feeling was mutual. They said that I exploited them and I said that they exploited me...I reproached them for having made me do so much, simply because I was the only one ready to do it.” Rainer’s relationship to his growing cast of friends, lovers and film surrogates became monarchical, some would say even tyrannical, but others remember him gently, the boy who would not come down from the altar. The boy who would quote Thomas Mann’s “I am often weary to death of portraying humanity without participating in what is human.” Rainer made a choice early on, that his work, his stories, were the most important thing to him. It cost him everything, and those around him plenty, but for their efforts we have Lola, The Marriage of Maria Braun, The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, Effie Briest, Martha, and World on a Wire.

Without further ado, here is Fassbinder’s 1966 short A Little Chaos, followed by the 1982’s A Man Like Eva, with Eva Mattes playing EVA, aka RWFassbinder.

Following a request from the festival, Le Chateau des Chats has been selected for the Nantucket Film Festival 2024, screening in the Children’s Shorts program block.

The Nantucket Film Festival was founded in 1996 by siblings Jill and Jonathan Burkhart to celebrate the vast diversity of human experience through the art of screenwriting and storytelling. NFF has now become one of the premier destination film festivals in the world. The Nantucket Film Festival would like to acknowledge that their event takes place on the traditional lands of the Wôpanâak (Wampanoag) peoples.

The festival will take place from the 19 – 24 June 2024.

One of the great things about being a film programmer is that you get to work with AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL people like @popeyebibo. Lots of y’all probably know him from #bloodinbloodout but I know him from @pifflosangeles a great #filmfestival taking place at the #downtownindependent this weekend. Check it out if you’re local.

It was almost exactly three years ago that Kenneth Filmer from KHLOARIS programmed and hosted an eight-week summer screening series in Bushwick of original and interesting film programs. Here’s a nice shot - via our friend @mayameissner - from one of the highlights of the series: the films of Marcel Dzama. We put together a program of almost all of Marcel’s film work, with Marcel and the David Zwirner Gallery’s assistance, of course. Marcel attended and introduced the program. We had a huge crowd at the free event. The program had some lovely pieces, including “Une Danse des Bouffons,” featuring Kim Gordon, and the trailer of the still unreleased “A Flower of Evil,” featuring Any Sedaris, Raymond Pettibon and more. There was a feature on the event in Vice/Creators Project, and it was an Artnet editor’s pick. We’re fans of Marcel’s work and hope to do more with him in the future. What a nice summer night that was. @marceldzama @davidzwirner @kimletgordon @amysedaris @raymondpettibon @natepommer @vice @creatorsproject__ @artnet #marceldzama #marceldzamaandraymondpettibon #raymondpettibon #amysedaris #kimgordon #summerscreeningseries #summerscreen #summerscreening #freescreening #davidzwirner #davidzwirnergallery #fbf #art #artfilm #screening #khloaris #filmprogramming #screeningcollective #film #bushwick #brooklyn #outdoorscreening #drivein #filmretro #filmretrospective (at Bushwick, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GkUmTFTKS/?igshid=w7a2ym1lvbbg

Films of Brooklyn Fire Proof Classroom Screening on April 12, BFP Sponsors The Queens World Film Fest, and BFP Stage Openings and News

"The Films of Brooklyn Fire Proof Classroom" - Free Screening April 12, 2019, 7:30pm

Brooklyn Fire Proof is pleased to announce a new initiative launched in early 2019: Brooklyn Fire Proof Classroom. The first step of the program aims to bring filmmaking education and skills to members of the New York community with no previous filmmaking education, while utilizing a simple, and universal tool: the cell phone. To commend the completion of the first workshop series, BFP will present a free, open-to-the-public screening of the completed films, along with a short documentary about the program, at Brooklyn Fire Proof on Friday, April 12 at 7:30pm. The filmmakers, programmers and educators will all be in attendance.

The BFP Classroom initiative has come together thanks to key organizations that BFP has worked with over the past decade, bringing together the Millennium Film Workshop and Job Path as partners this inaugural session. Together they’ve launched a “new media” filmmaking class, with an emphasis on cell phone filmmaking, utilizing avant- garde techniques. The creator of the BFP Classroom program, Kenneth Filmer, BFP’s Director of Stages, Production and Programming elaborates: “The goal of Brooklyn Fire Proof Classroom is to give people filmmaking skills who might not ordinarily be making films. Despite the talk about diversity in the media, most films still seem to be made by well-to-do, fancifully educated types. We want to see the students become skilled filmmakers, and hopefully eventually film professionals (a second-tier, job placement program is in the planning phases). And for purely personal reasons, I just want to see the films created as a result of the program.”

The Millennium Film Workshop, a renowned NYC-based experimental film organization, took the lead on instruction. The four Classroom sessions were led by Millennium’s Joey Huertas & Paul Echeverria and taught students the basics of screenwriting, production, editing, screening and distribution (all within the cell phone). Students were selected by Job Path, a NYC organization focused on assisting those with developmental disabilities to live independent lives.

During the break in the workshop’s 5-week schedule, a gallery show—“The Exhibitions”—ran for two weeks in one of BFPs on-site galleries. The group show was co-curated by Art//Division’s founders, Johnny Mattei and Robert Hill, and BFP’s curatorial arm, BFP Creative, and offered a look into a journey through the lives of the artists. 


The inaugural workshops, and the associated art show, were both successes, and BFP looks forward to planning its next round of Classroom workshops and seeking new partners to collaborate with. To close the kick-off season Brooklyn Fire Proof will publicly premiere the initial students’ films, as well as a documentary made throughout the process.

ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM FILM WORKSHOP:

The Millennium Film Workshop is an NYC-based non-profit organization that has pioneered filmmaking workshops since its founding in 1966, and is dedicated to the exhibition, study, and practice of avant-garde and experimental cinema. Joey Huertas is the Executive Director of the Millennium Film Workshop, and is an award winning film & performance artist, social worker and art therapist. He also runs his own DIY underground monthly film screening/reading series called Hijack! Paul Echeverria is an assistant professor of communication & media arts at Western Connecticut State University and the founding director of the Digital and Interactive Media Arts (DIMA) program, and Millennium Film Workshop board member.

ABOUT JOB PATH:

Job Path is an organization that helps people with autism, intellectual and other developmental disabilities find stable and satisfying employment, live in their own homes and contribute their skills and talents to community life. Established in 1978, Job Path was also a pioneer, being the first organization of its kind in New York State and one of the first in the country. Last year the people Job Path supports worked at close to 100 different businesses and not-for-profit organization across New York City. Job Path’s art program, Art//Division, was built to reinforce the idea that art is for everyone, regardless of backgrounds or life experiences.

Opening Night of the Queens World Film Festival Tonight!

Brooklyn Fire Proof is a proud sponsor of the Queens World Film Festival, which tuns nine in 2019. This year's festival includes an annual multi day/multi venue festival, youth-oriented educational initiatives and year round screening opportunities for QWFF filmmakers, past and present. The festival is programmed in thematic blocks with evocative titles, and each program is followed by a post-screening dialogue to engage audiences from the demographically diverse communities that comprise the borough of Queens. Each year the festival has a very robust submission session, with films coming from all over the globe, 63 nations to date, including Cuba, Franc, Spain, Serbia, Korea, Bangladesh, China, Italy, the Ukraine, Iran, Scotland, Belgium, Finland and the UK to name just a few. In every year’s festival there are tender films, heartbreaking films, and several works that are extremely provocative, maybe even, disturbing and the selections tie us into conversations people are having around the world via the real stars of the festival: the films. It’s about surrendering to the films, without looking for familiar names, titles, scores. It’s about creating the right context for personal, intimate films grouped together for a cinematic experience you will not get anywhere else on the planet. The 9th Annual Queens World Film Festival returns to the Museum of the Moving Image in both the Redstone theatre and the Bartos screening room as well as the historic Zukor Theatre at the Kaufman Astoria Studios located right next door for 11 days of exciting indie films - March 21 - 31, 2019. Strategically placed between the two venues is the fabled Astor Room with incredible food and special discounts just for QWFF participants and attendees. The festival village is located in the Astoria Arts District which is subway close and easy to find via foot or in your car (Yes, there is street and metered parking!) Tonight is the Queens World Film Festival's 2019 opening night. More information is available here: https://www.queensworldfilmfestival.com/events/2019/opening_night/

We'd also like to highlight the fest's two honoree screenings: https://www.queensworldfilmfestival.com/events/2019/TPOG/ https://www.queensworldfilmfestival.com/events/2019/honoree/ The two panels this for this year are also a highlight: https://www.queensworldfilmfestival.com/events/2019/panel/ https://www.queensworldfilmfestival.com/events/2019/blockchain/

Some Open Availability and New Developments in Our Stages

We have a lot of our regular clients tell us that they can never get into our stages because we're always booked with long term shoots. While it's true that we've had big shows in about 70% of the time over the last 4 or so years, we do have a decent amount of open availability over the next few months. For anyone who hasn't been here in a while, we have made some significant changes and additions in our stages, including: -An additional 15 tons of HVAC air conditioning added to our large stages, for a total of 35 tons of air conditioning (as well as another 15 tons of HVAC in our smaller stages). -A new, robust gigabit up/down FiOS WiFi connection with high-speed Ubiquiti base stations installed in every support stage, studio and support room. -Two new parking lots, one with a rolling gate, security cameras, and a turn-key production office on site. Of course, we're still a New York State QPF, with five soundstages, support rooms, cycloramas, drive-on access, heavy cam-lock power, a huge array of industrial locations and two buildings full of additional loft office/work space. We're constantly doing everything we can to make our environment a welcoming, creative place to work. Email us at stages@brooklynfireproof.com or call us at 718-456-7571 to set up a scout or to discuss availability and rates.

AWESOME! Last week, two central #Florida #filmmakers came to visit me while working on a #production here in #Jacksonville! Moe and Sierra, both Valencia College alums, reached out and we met up for socially distant meeting. We chatted about my year in #Orlando as well as how the #filmprogram at Valencia is one of the best in the country! Moe works closely with Eric Fleming, the #head of the program. Incidentally, Eric is an alum of another #school that is close to my heart...the FSU Motion Picture Conservatory! Wow! Be safe y'all! Continue to watch your hands and wear masks!

It was such an honor to be invited to speak to my alma mater’s film school cinema program. 🎞 Seeing how it’s evolved in the last 18 years was mind blowing 🤯, and meeting this next generation of film school friends filled me with so much excitement for the future of our craft. It was like going back to my 21 year old self and bolstering her eager heart with encouraging anecdotes... some as simple as... FALL IN LOVE with making movies, love it even on the hard days, especially when it’s editing and no pants are required. 😝👖🎬 . #filmschool #almamater #apu #alumni #azusapacificuniversity #filmprogram #ba #filmmakers #moviemakers #film #womeninfilm #filmpanel #production #skills #bigbreak #studentsofcinema #director #learnallaspects #lovetheprocess #production #filmmaker https://www.instagram.com/p/B4gShtlHL7f/?igshid=1mlakhmnaxvkx

As many of you know, KHLOARIS hosts screenings in addition to its production work. Here is a screening KF from KHLOARIS put together in Bushwick in November of 2016 with Noah Becker from Whitehot Magazine. We screened Noah’s film “New York is Now,” and it was followed by a panel moderated Noah, who was joined by artists Michael Anderson, Spencer Tunick, Michael Holman, Bibbe Hansen and Miguel Gesso. We had a good crowd, and it was a nice friendly night all around. KHLOARIS is interested in all sorts of art/ art film/highbrow content as well as cult/trash/lowbrow content. We should have more screenings coming up going after both of these aesthetics. Contact us if you have anything unusual you’d like us to show.
