Tomorrow evening is the first screening in the film series I am programming through The Storefront for Art and Architecture
in conjunction with Anthology Film Archives.
O Morro (the hill): issues in representation of the favela.

O Morro (the hill) is a monthly series created to raise questions regarding representation of the favela in Brazilian film and architecture.
Is film and architecture’s fascination with the favela helpful, or does it ultimately result in repeating forms of exploitation and prejudice?

The series will feature a small publication, panelists and discussions following the films.

The first screening is this Tuesday, October 23 at 730 pm at Anthology Film Archives.

CINCO VEZES FAVELA (FAVELA FIVE TIMES, 1961)
Directors: Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Leon Hirszman, Miguel Borges, Carlos Diegues e Marcos Farias, 1962, Brasil
92 minutes, English subtitles
Its five episodes, directed by many of the strongest figures in Brazilian cinema, were produced by the Centers for Popular Culture of the National Students’ Union, who’s mission was to create links with and within the working class.

This weekend, I will be in Providence, RI at Brown and RISD for the sonic.focus.2 lecture and performances series.

This year’s lineup is split over 2 months. This Saturday October 20th is Jan Jelinek and

Hanno Leichtmann (aka Static). Should be great, and the venue has moved to RISD in a nice space with some real subs.

Last year’s lineup is still online with video from Philip Sherburne, Tony Conrad, David Shea and many others.

On Saturday, October 13, I will be performing the second piece as part of Dance Faster series, entitled Dance Faster 2 , immediately following Dan Graham and Beatriz Colomina’s performance at the the Storefront for Art and Architecture’s Performance Z-A series .

Dance Faster 2 is a public dance party for wireless headphones, turntables and a microphone. Headphones and dance steps will be provided.

The performances will be this Saturday, October 13, starting at 7 pm in the ring dome pavilion on Lafayette and Kenmare in Manhattan, New York.

Special thanks to those who participated in Dance Faster 1.
