(pictured above) Memento Mori
a 16mm hand-processed CINEMASCOPE film by Jim Hubbard
"An Exquisite Corpse"
Sunday, September 17, 2000
3pm, $10
HERE Arts Center
Club Performance Theater
New York City
The program unfolds like the Surrealist diversion, revealing the body in all
its beauty and strangeness. The body becomes a source of wonder, an
astonishing landscape, a wellspring of pleasure, something to stare at, to
put under a microscope, to experience. But, we can never forget, it
ultimately betrays us, withers and dies. The films alternate between
lab-processed and hand-processed, so the program becomes, in addition, an
exploration of the emulsion, an experiment on the material nature of the
film body.

Geography of the Body (Willard Maas, b&w, sound, 1943, 7 min.)
"The terrors and splendors of the human body as the undiscovered, mysterious
continent." - W.M.
How to be a Homosexual, Part II (Roger Jacoby, color, sound, 1982, 15 min.)
Not a "How To" film, but a difficult, extremely rigorous exploration of
illness and isolation, the chemistry of the emulsion and human desire.
Near the Big Chakra (Alice Ann Parker, color, silent, 1972, 17 min.)
An unhurried view of 37 human vaginas, ranging in age from three months to
56 years old.
Soi Même (M.M. Serra, color, sound, 1995, 6 min.)
In an apartment overflowing with palms, an aloof, alluring, naked woman,
caparisoned in turquoise and gold, pisses, then masturbates her bejeweled
vagina to ejaculation, while the hand-processed, solarized emulsion
exoticizes and beautifies. Her self, indeed.
Song of the Godbody (James Broughton/Joel Singer, color, sound, 1977, 11
min.)
Extreme close-ups of the male human body, so that the hairs on the chest
become a vast savannah at sunset and a drop of cum, a glistening ice-covered
hillock besides the gaping canyon of the asshole.
Memento Mori (Jim Hubbard, color, sound, 1995, 17 min.)
"What is it like when a body doesn't move anymore? How does it feel -- the
ashes of the dead or the soil which covers a corpse? Memento Mori is one of
the few films, in which cinematic images do not erase life with stereotypes
but let life live on, somewhere else, outside the screen." - Stefan Hayn
