Welcome to week three of the July 2019 version of MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS. My selection for this week is, the LANGUAGE OF MEMORY by: Laura Kraning.
http://www.laurakraning.com/
“Language of Memory is a hand-processed, optically printed film composed of rayographs of my grandmother’s still negatives from the early 1900’s, strips of her old lace casting abstract patterns on high contrast film, and the overlapping gestures of sewing and splicing film, related techniques historically attributed to women. It is both homage to my grandmother’s creative influence and a deconstruction of memory through fragmentation and the accretion of associations surfacing from the tactile processes of the film’s making. ” LK
You had me at, “strips of her old lace casting abstract patterns…” This film is lace and shadows and rhythm, like pure memory somehow laid down on film.

Past LA AIR artist Sandra de la Loza has an exhibition opening at LACE on July 10, 7 – 10 pm.
In To Oblivion: The Speculators’ Eden de la Loza creates a portal inside LACE’s main gallery to transport us into a “disturbance zone,” a ghostly and haunted space that unveils fragmented stories of this land we call Los Angeles. In excavating the past, unsettling glimpses of the city of the future surface via an immersive installation comprised of an archive of shadows, dematerialized artifacts, performative poems, and spectral ruins and stereoscopes.
The exhibition runs July 10 – September 1, 2019, and includes a selection of films by EPFC students and Co-op Members curated by Penelope Uribe-Abee.

HELLOOO film lovers! Welcome to week two of the July version of MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS. My selection for this week is a mesmerizing film by Jenn Reeves entitled, “Trains Are For Dreaming.” As the title suggests, watching this film is like watching a dream. I recommend that you view Trains… several times in a darkened and quiet place. It is absolutely hypnotic. Some argue that cinema was created so humans could dream awake. “Trains Are For Dreaming” certainly lends support to that claim.
Thanks Jenn Reeves for letting us screen this amazing film. See you next Monday with another film.
Cheers,
