NEW
ZINE! CINERTIA
#1
My Year In Movies - by Jonathan Culp
JC's
brand new zine features his withering commentary on whatever
cinematic goodies passed his way last year: over ninety reviews!
With tons of pictures and a special bonus essay at the end.
Plus, for a limited time only, a SECRET BONUS DVD.
You can
just picture JC leaning back at his desk and smoking a cigar:
Sweeney
Todd - "every time someone utters a note everything freezes
dead and
it's a cue to get up for popcorn/the crapper."
Murder
Party - "the script's stabs at character development
need to be improved or abandoned, and rather than surprising
us with alternating funny-scary it sometimes sits too long
in the middle."
Lola
Montes - "the toil of the film-making efforts end up
deflecting attention from Lola herself - maybe Martine Carol
isn't up for the job like everyone says, but more importantly
all that metaphor stuff seems to crowd out time she could
use to draw us in."
$6.00,
80 pages, 1/2 legal, plus DVD.

NEW
ZINE! STUPID
JOURNEY 7:
THE SELKIRK ASTROLOGIST
Say
hello to Satan Macnuggit's newest zine - an enigmatic and
highly involved pastiche of stuff I found in a yard in Manitoba
five years ago - all of it belonging to, apparently, the Selkirk
town astrologist circa 1930. News clippings, astrology newsletters,
diaries, photos, and an incredible array of hand-drawn astrological
charts referencing the Winnipeg General Strike, Prime Minister
Bennett, missing amnesiacs, and more. See if you can put the
pieces together to solve the mystery of the man...

and DJ MACHINE (St. Catharines)
THURSDAY,
AUGUST 14 - 7:30 pm
SMILING BUDDHA, 961 College St. at Dovercourt
Satan Macnuggit Popular Arts celebrates the Toronto premiere
of Grilled Cheese Sandwich - a comedy about
the revolution of everyday lunch - with an exciting evening
of musical performances.
The
hit of the 2007 Chicago Anarchist Film Festival, Grilled Cheese
Sandwich (www.cheesemovie.com)
comes home after playing to enthusiastic audiences from Edmonton
to Miami. Jonathan Culp's first feature shows what happens
when a bunch of wayward youth in deadly suburban Grimsville
take on Principal Middleman, the Moose Meat Ladies and Squirrely's
Pizza with their revolutionary underground grilled cheese
sandwich club. It's the next best thing to getting the hell
out!
Blending
DIY social satire with random severed limbs and bowel movements,
you will not be bored. "Chock full of nutritional messages...and,
of course, very cheesy" (Feminist Review)
After
the movie, things keep rolling with an evening of musical
performances.
-
GCS co-star Chris Mills (Kids on TV) brings us a special performance
of his casio-rap act Just Like the Movies,
celebrating the release of both a live freestyle CD and "The
Movies", a Super 8 rock video DVD;
-
Matias Rozenberg - another GCS performer/composer,
will contribute his own thrilling and tuneful songs in a solo
set;
-
in from the West, Edmonton's beat/noise master Holzkopf
- yet another Cheese soundtrack contributor - will offer a
helping of his nonpareil "aural battery";
-
Ottawa's notorious Suicide Pilots - headline-grabbing
nemeses of John Baird and the RCMP - will bring their political
punk rock to town for a rare appearance.
-
Finally, DJ Machine (Marinko Jareb) will
be providing his psychedelic video mixing accompaniment all
night long.
Come
for the cheese, stay for the tunes at the underground event
of the summer!

ORDEALS
IN CINEMALAND
HELP LIFT MOVE - THROUGHOUT JULY!
"LIFT
is in dire need of your support. As you may have heard we
are moving this summer and desperately need everyone’s
help to pull us through. If you care about film in Toronto
and/or your history with LIFT now is the time to show it by
donating to our build fund for the new space.
"Since
1981 the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT)
has been Canada’s foremost artist-run centre for those
wishing to create films on celluloid. You can find out more
about us at: http://www.lift.on.ca/mt/about.html
"LIFT
is currently facing what may be the greatest challenge to
its stability in recent times. By July 31st, 2008, LIFT will
be gentrified out of our East Liberty Street location, where
we've been for the last 14 years. The changing real estate
climate has effected everyone in the city; and so far the
trickle down from the creative class boom for groups like
Luminato hasn't reached the artist-run scene. Without help
now we could very well vanish.
"As
well as being a serious threat to our continued survival this
move is also a great opportunity for LIFT to move forward
as an international hub for celluloid production. We have
recently secured a ten-year lease on a 6,500 sq. ft. building
at Dupont and Dufferin. This stand-alone facility is wheelchair
accessible, has a street visibility and gives us enough space
to thrive.
"In
order to complete the move and build we need to raise a total
of $300,000, of which $128,000 is confirmed and another $75,000
is pending. To meet this substantial goal we are calling on
everyone to assist us in organizing fundraising events, contacting
potential donors (donations are tax-deductible) as well as
lending some hands in the lifting, building and painting.
We always talked about the film community and now is the time
to see if it really exists.
"This
moment will decide if LIFT's around for the next ten years
to foster a new generation of makers, or an era ends. With
everyone's help we'll get there and keep lighting up the screens
of the future.
Trash
Palace is pretty much the most inspiring social space for
movie lovers that I have ever been a part of. Long lost, carefully
hoarded 16mm features interspersed with demented educational
and animated shorts; popcorn and candy, posters and paraphernalia;
and an audience that knows what they're watching and why,
and keeps on coming back for more.
After
several months of contributing our short films to the pot,
Satan Macnuggit is topping up our contribution with a selection
of our prized features - including many forgotten or neglected
Canadian features, drawn from my current 70s/80s
tax shelter fetish. Check out these upcoming screenings:
June
20 - "Giant killer rats invade Toronto and eat Scatman
Crothers!"
August
15 - "A Peter Fonda trucker movie from the director
of 'The Rowdyman'!"
September
12 -"The original 'Heathers', only better - teen
revenge as class-war satire!"
Plus
the shorts will keep on coming week after week - including
a whole night of them on August 1!
Of
course, I am only supplementing the brilliant efforts of Stacey
Case, Greg Woods of the Eclectic Screening Room, Rob Cruickshank
and others who continue to bring their encyclopedic knowledge
to bear on TP's ever-expanding program, now appearing every
Friday!

CENTRO AUTONOMO, CHICAGO
I
love this festival - this is the FOURTH time they've shown
my stuff, a world record if you don't count Splice This. So
I couldn't help but get the hell down there this time. My
reality collage "It Can Happen Here" - addressing
a synopsis-unfriendly hash of issues surrounding art, activism
and madness - closes off the first night of a weekend-long
screening including great-looking stuff on Simon Radowitzky,
the Jena 6, the history of "The Internationale",
and the good ol' East Van Porn Collective. Plus "Heavy
Metal Drummer"! Mine is at 9:20 on Friday the 2nd, but
come and catch everything else if you're in the neighborhood.
Afterwards I'm going to buy an awful lot of records and eat
like a starving vegan.

CATS:
Copyright and Appropriation in the Media Arts
With
Johanna Householder, Jonathan Culp,
Laura J. Murray and Jonathan Sommer
Sunday,
April 6, 2008 - 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Trinity Square Video
401 Richmond Street West
Toronto, ON
Free!
Co-presented
by the Images Festival
There has been much mainstream news coverage about how the
federal government’s proposed changes to Canadian copyright
laws may restrict consumers’ music, video and software
downloading and sharing. Yet little has been said on the possible
effects it might have on the media arts community, especially
those using found footage, sampling and collage techniques
with copyrighted materials. Should artists be worried?
Trinity Square Video moderates a panel of artists and legal
experts as they discuss the impending changes to Canadian
copyright laws and how it may affect media artists. Artists
Johanna Householder and Jonathan Culp discuss why they dare
to be copy cats in their art practices. Toronto entertainment
lawyer Jonathan Sommer reflects on copyright case histories
and Laura J. Murray, co-author of Canadian Copyright: A Citizen’s
Guide, guides us through the murky history of Canadian copyright
laws.

COME
TO THE 8 FEST!
FEBRUARY 22 & 23, 2008
(UPDATED INFO)
=the 8 fest = is a new Toronto showcase for small-gauge films:
---------------------------------------
Super 8 / 8mm
9.5mm / Loops, zoetropes & their kin
---------------------------------
Inaugural edition: Friday + Saturday 22/23 February
Programs at 7 & 9 pm (details below)
All events at: Trash Palace, Bathurst & Niagara
SCHEDULE
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22 2008
7 PM SUPER 8 SOUND – FILMS BY SAUL LEVINE
A legend of small-gauge filmmaking, Saul Levine’s (Boston)
practice includes film, video, live performance, collage &
installation. Included in the Museum of Modern Art’s
1998 exhibition Big As Life: An American History of 8mm Films,
Levine’s work is noted for its incorporation of splice
marks, percussive editing, “unconstrained camera movements
and spontaneous formal accidents” (Steve Anker). This
distinctive style, informed by a background in the blues,
poetry, and radical politics, produces “exquisitely
kinetic,” and often very beautiful cinematic experiences.
Since 1964, Levine has made over 80 films and videos.
Raps And Chants, Parts I & II [1981, super 8, color, sound,
26 min]
“Raps And Chants’ first part is a man’s
monologue about a grueling LSD adventure and the second is
the portrait of a woman, gleefully milking cacophony from
a tape recorder by rapidly playing with the buttons.”
–P. Adams Sitney, Village Voice
Notes of an Early Fall [1976, super 8, color, sound, 33 min]
Notes was mostly made in Binghamton in 1976 - a warped record
constructed out of visits to the zoo, relatives and various
locations. “Levine’s first talkie, Notes of an
Early Fall is a characteristically raw work that parlays even
the sound of microphone rumble into a formal element.”
– J. Hoberman
9 PM COUNTERNARRATIVES
There's more to cheesy old educational films than meets the
eye! Armed with his trusty Technicolor Super 8 Cartridge projector
and a passel of vintage classroom loops, the 8 fest’s
Jonathan Culp invites performers of widely varying stripes
to ‘narrate’ these silent artifacts to their own
satisfaction. What will a room full of aesthetes make of such
titles as Lemming Migration, Movement in the City, Desert
Tortoise Courtship Ritual and Snacks? This will probably be
your only chance to find out!
Featuring: Mohammad Ali Aumeer, Rose Bianchini, Lora Bozabalian,
Stacey Case, Heather Childs, Suzanne Farkus, Graham Hollings,
Luis Jacob, Ryan Kamstra, Boonaa Mohammed, Dwayne Morgan,
Andrew Paterson, Matthew Trafford, Jane Walker, Jessica Westhead,
Greg Woods
7 PM ORPHAN FILMS & BRING YOUR HOME MOVIES
( Home Movie Repair Clinic 6 PM )
Homemade Movies home movie history project presents –
Orphan Films
A screening of long lost orphaned films. Local collectors
Grant Heaps & Ian Phillips are on a quest to find, preserve
and re-present all the forgotten home movies that end washed-up
on the shores of goodwills, auctions and dumpsters. From:
impromptu wrestling at a ‘cognac party’, to a
man saving a chair from a gas station fire, to the set (in
Barrie) of The Littlest Hobo, to cottage life on the Toronto
Islands in 1934, we offer strangely compelling portraits of
everyday life from the 1930's to 70's!
followed by . . .
Bring Your Home Movies
The second part of our screening is your chance to bring your
home movies to show (8mm, super 8). Dig through your parent's
attic or grab that orphaned reel you found at the thrift shop.
– AND – If you no longer have a working projector,
come early to our Home Movie Repair Clinic starting at 6 PM.
Let us help you one-on-one to look through your home movie
collection again and give advice on preserving your films.
9 PM BAGEROO – the art of simply super 8
Two decades ago, rumours circulated among filmmakers that
super 8 film stock was to be discontinued by Kodak. Images
- numerous and proliferating - of the demolition of Kodak's
plants invade the evening news these days; and this phenomenon
parallels Kodak's game plan as they shift from analogue to
digital. So the future of super 8 film stock remains as shaky
as it has been for the last two decades.
But there are pockets in North America - such as Vancouver,
Milwaukee, Saskatoon and Ottawa, just to name a few - where
filmmakers continue to build an artistic practice working
in super 8. The 8 fest will endeavor to provide Toronto with
an exhibition platform dedicated solely to small-gauge celluloid.
BAGEROO – the art of simply super 8 brings to the big
screen a selection of recent work and a few older pieces.
John Porter (aka the “Godfather of Super 8” to
many) delights with a new condensed ritual in a small bowling
alley; Tanya Read premieres a new work hot from the lab; and
archival gems from Adrian Göllner, Clifford Caines, and
others will be brought to you for your viewing pleasure!
Events are 5$ suggested donation per screening

DRACONIAN COPYRIGHT BILL TO BE TABLED
JOIN THE FIGHT BACK
(An
appeal from Appropriation Art is below, followed by some revised
lobbying advice from Satan Macnuggit associate Siue Moffat.
If you enjoy my movies, be advised that this new legislation
will render making them - and possibly watching them - criminal.
I do not intend to stop. Shut them down. - JC)
Dear
Appropriation Art Signatories,
We are appealing once more for your assistance in the struggle
to preserve fair copyright legislation in Canada. If we can
all pull together we must be heard. Give this vitally important
issue just 30 minutes of your time.
We have been informed that new copyright legislation is expected
next week, most likely on Tuesday (December 11, 2007). It
has been over a year since we first contacted you about this
legislation. Legislation which has been delayed again and
again. Now it is imminent. And the Arts Community must be
heard again. It is crucial that your message gets out there
before it is too late. Make your voice heard.
It appears that the legislation will be far worse than expected.
At this point specifics of the new legislation are not known,
however, indications show that it will include several shattering
blows. There will be severe restrictions on Freedom of Expression.
Legislation will eliminate access to anything with a DRM (Digital
lock) . The new law is expected to make it illegal to circumvent
DRM even where the user has a legal right to the protected
content. This potentially makes the Canadian legislation even
more restrictive than the draconian DMCA (Digital Millennium
Copyright Act) in the United States. The DMCA is the specific
legislation that allows the RIAA to sue music fans. It is
speculated that the new legislation will have no new rights
for users whatsoever. It may make downloading illegal in Canada
criminalizing 10 million Canadians.
This legislation will have a profound effect on artists who
use appropriation, particularly artists working in all forms
of digital media and new media. These artists will no longer
be able to access any media files under any circumstances.
The implications of this are outrageous and profound.
We thank you for doing your part. Keep up the pressure.
Sincerely.
Gordon Duggan

following is from Siue Moffat)
Most
of your have gotten an email about the dangerous copyright
bill/act (Canada wants to be able to put people in jail for

Here's
the "30 things you can do to stop the Digital Millenium
Copyright Act", which is pretty much writing letters
to certain people:
And here is a letter you can use to send to all of them. I
changed it a
bit to take out some garbage about it stopping Canada becoming
a world leader. I'm also adding a personal paragraph.
I am disturbed by the Government’s announcement that
a new copyright bill will be tabled in December, without any
public consultation. All indications are that overly restrictive
copyright laws stifle innovation, yet this is exactly what
the Government appears to be
tabling. A restrictive copyright bill could have disastrous
effects on
the future of the country.
The bill does not address crucial issues such as protecting
parody, time shifting, device shifting, and the making of
backup copies. Further, it does not address outdated and innovation-stifling
crown copyright, or restrict statutory damages awards to cases
of commercial infringement. The government last consulted
Canadians on digital copyright issues in 2001. The Internet
and technology use have changed dramatically since then, yet
the Government has done little - that I am aware of - to find
out what implications these changes have on Canadians. On
businesses, on teachers, on regular people.
I am shocked that the Government would charge ahead on such
important legislation without doing the work required to understand
the implications properly, without doing the work required
to find out how it will impact Canadians, and what it is that
Canadians actually want.
Please reconsider this dangerous approach.
So NOW it may take you only 30 minutes :)
