Product Details

On Friday, November 7th, at 6pm, legendary musician, filmmaker, and multimedia artist Tav Falco (whose moving image work recently joined the collection of The Film-Makers' Cooperative) visits the FMC Screening Room (475 Park Avenue South, 6th Floor) to present a troika of sui generis films, including his avant-garde feature The Urania Trilogy.

Navigators by Noah Teichner (2022) 35mm-to-digital, 85 minutes.

In December of 1919, the United States government deports Emma Goldman and 248 anarchists and revolutionaries aboard the "Soviet Ark." A few years later, this same ocean liner becomes the setting for Buster Keaton's slapstick comedy, The Cruise of the Navigator. This is a piece of parallel cinema inventively crafted by an American filmmaker exiled in Paris.

The Violinist by Winsome Brown (2009) 16mm-to-digital, 44 minutes.

A beautiful young Russian violin virtuoso who arrives in New York in nineteen-thirteen and quickly falls in love with a demimondaine, who introduces her to the speakeasies, opium dens, and dark places of the City. Rebecca's experiences with opium intertwine with her obsession for the stranger until she cannot separate one passion from the other.

The Urania Trilogy by Tav Falco (2024) 16mm-to-digital, 129 minutes;

The avatar of Urania, muse of the heavens, descends to earth in the guise of a disaffected American girl, Gina Lee. She buys a 1-way ticket to merry/sinister Vienna where she slips into dalliances at the notorious Hotel Orient. Embroiled in an intrigue to uncover buried Nazi plunder, her liaison with Graf Karl-Heinz von Riegl unravels in a denouement at Klimt Villa, climaxing on the grand canal of Venice.

Selections are digitized from original films. Special thanks to Tav Falco, Lynne Sachs, Augusta Palmer, Winsome Brown, and Perspective Films.
