2640docs presents “Torrey Pines,” a stop-motion animated feature film by director Clyde Petersen. 

TORREY PINES https://vimeo.com/177164898

Based on a true story, the film is a queer punk coming-of-age tale, taking place in Southern California in the early 1990's.

Raised by a schizophrenic single mother, Petersen's life story unfolds in a series of baffling and hallucinated events. With a mother fueled by hallucinations of political conspiracy and family dysfunction, Petersen is kidnapped at the age of 12 and taken on a cross-country adventure that will forever alter the family as they know it.

Plus animations by V and Kristen Anchor's video, "Lonesome Cowboy On The Protein Deprivation Trail" by Mole Suit Choir

GUIDED BY WIRE will play and have some projected-video treats as well.https://www.facebook.com/gbwbaltimore/

Everyman as Anyman, or Putting On, On, On, On, On (1969) by Esta Nesbitt, from the Esta Nesbitt papers, 1941-1981, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution (20 minutes) 

A five-screen Super 8 film and reel-to-reel tape performance reconstructed and performed as a video and sound performance by the artist and filmmaker Kristen Anchor. Originally created by Nesbitt to demonstrate “the media bombardment surrounding ‘everyman’ today,” it is whirlwind collage of documentary footage, print media clippings, and hand-written text with a multilayered soundtrack combined to create living audio-visual poem, which is different every time it is performed. Digital interpretation commissioned by the Smithsonian’s Archives of American art in 2015, this is a rare performance of a one of the greats in American avant-garde cinema. 


Forgotten and Now the Coming Thing (2016) by C. Tara & David Gladden

A site-specific, dreamscape opera that takes its name from recurring phrases in Esta Nesbitt’s fashion illustrations. These phrases, “And Now...,” “And Again…,” and “The Coming Thing…” resonate beyond the world of fashion, into timeless questions of universal significance. C. Tara & David Gladden use Nesbitt’s diverse body of work as inspiration, creating a performance that combines live sound, live-feed cameras, video projections, and ritual actions.

—

Esta Nesbitt (1918-1975) was an illustrator, xerography artist, filmmaker, and educator who lived and worked in New York City. She was a fashion illustrator for about two decades before becoming a children’s book illustrator, performance artist, xerography artist, and filmmaker. To demonstrate “the media bombardment surrounding ‘everyman’ today,” Nesbitt created a film and sound performance piece titled Everyman as Anyman, or Putting On, On, On, On, On in 1969.

They use cinematic and theatrical strategies to create engaging, immersive environments that also have a rigorous conceptual base. They consider their performances to be “live cinema,” with a seamless mix of music, projections, performance, poetry, and tableaux.

A 5-screen film and sound performance reconstructed and performed as a video and sound performance by the artist and filmmaker Kristen Anchor.

A 2-channel video performance in which the artists playfully explain to viewers the mechanical nature of video while simultaneously exploring the nature of relationships.

• Claudia (1972) by Jorge Preloran, from the Jorge Preloran Collection, Human Studies Film Archive, National Museum of Natural History (6.5 minutes x 2)

Experimental film described by Preloran as "a free improvisation with a child of 5 who plays, has fun, gets mad, and ends up in frenetic activity, all enhanced with superimposed animation". The film has four versions, each with a different musical score. Preloran's intention was that all four versions would be viewed together in order to compare how the character of the child changes according to the music. Tonight’s program will screen version 1, with music by Jose Luis Castaneira, and version 2, with a song by Poldy Bird and music by Rodrigo Montero.

Organized by the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution
Held in the Nan Tucker McEvoy Auditorium, D.W. Reynolds Center, (National Portrait Gallery) 8th and G Streets, Washington, D.C.
