Patriocracy

Sunday, February 24, 2019 at 2:00pm, 90 minutes

Amagansett Free Library, 215 Main St., Amagansett, NY 11930

As they were in 2012, when this film was made, Americans are polarized and angry. In the crossfire, the loudest voices drown out reason and facts with fear and anxiety. Patriocracy explores the extreme polarization in America that cripples the country from tackling its most serious problems. Whether it’s the national debt, healthcare reform, the war on terror or illegal immigration, Americans are shouting at each other instead of listening to each other. The documentary brings an all-star cast of Senators, Congressmen/women, top Washington journalists, pundits and academia to the screen; giving their candid and comprehensive insights into the factors behind extreme polarization. Former Senator Alan Simpson, Bob Schieffer (CBS News), Pat Buchanan, Eleanor Clift (Newsweek), Ken Rudin (NPR) and Senator Kent Conrad are just a few of the high-level Washington personalities who offer their valuable perspectives on extremism in Washington and across the country.

Through raw and uncensored video of angry demonstrations and town hall meetings, PATRIOCRACY offers a detailed examination of how Americans have become so polarized over the past decade, drilling down to the wealthy and anonymous forces that contribute to an environment of uncertainty and anxiety.

Patriocracy is produced and directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker, Brian Malone; Executive Producer, Stephen Nemeth.

Basquiat: Rage to Riches

Q/A with documentary photographer Michael Halsband and Corinne Erni, Senior Curator of Special Projects, Parrish Art Museum

Friday, February 22, 2019 at 6 PM, 90 minutes

One of the most influential American artists of the 20th century, Jean-Michel Basquiat was a rock star of the early ’80s New York art scene. He lived fast, died young and created thousands of drawings and paintings. It took less than a decade for Basquiat, an accountant’s son from Brooklyn, to go from anonymous graffiti writer known as SAMO© to an epoch-defining art star. Today, Basquiat is in the top tier of the international art market along with Picasso, de Kooning, and Francis Bacon. 2018 marks the 30th anniversary of Basquiat’s untimely death from a heroin overdose. In death, he has emerged as one of the most important artists of his generation and now exhibits in museums all over the world. — The Basquiat: Rage to Riches documentary features exclusive interviews with Basquiat’s two sisters, Lisane and Jeanine, who have never before spoken about their brother and his art for a television documentary. With striking candor, art world colleagues, including dealers Bruno Bischofberger, Larry Gagosian and Mary Boone, and Basquiat’s most intimate friends, lovers and fellow artists draw a portrait of a handsome, charismatic and fragile personality – also divulging the cash, drugs and pernicious racism that he encountered. The main weapon Basquiat used to fight prejudice was his art. A game changer, his painting embodied and reflected breakthroughs in music, poetry and a new type of expressionism in modern art.

Painters Painting

Q/A with artist Valerie Jaudon and Terrie Sultan
Friday, January 18, 2019 at 6 PM, 118 minutes

Emile de Antonio's documentary about postwar American painting combines footage of museum shows with interviews with the artists themselves. Besides covering Abstract Expressionism in depth, the film discusses other significant 20th-century art movements, such as color-field painting and Pop Art. Some of the artists who discuss their work include Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning, Frank Stella, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Barnett Newman and Helen Frankenthaler. A studious film of the kind they don't make any more. In the early 70s, Emile de Antonio interrogated anybody who was anybody in the New York art world - from Robert Rauschenberg to dealer Leo Castelli - on what abstract art means. Everyone is prepared to take de Antonio's questions with total seriousness; a long way from the studied irony you'd expect if you asked the same thing today. As a result, de Antonio has put together a concise study of a postwar period when American painting eclipsed all comers, while helping to establish a chronology and a context for abstraction's evolution - from action painting to colour field. - Q/A TBA

Beuys

Director, Andres Veiel
Friday, January 4, 2019 at 6 PM, 107 min

“Bueys" is portrait of the artist as a socially conscious provocateur. Joseph Beuys was a 20th century German Fluxus, happening & performance artist as well as a sculptor, installation artist, graphic artist, art theorist and pedagogue. Known for his highly original and controversial themes, his practice of “social sculpture” attempted to make art more democratic by collapsing the space between life and art. His work I Like America and America Likes Me (1974) remains a seminal piece of performance art. In the work, Beuys, over the course of three days, locked himself in a room with a live coyote, armed only with layers of felt and a cane. For some the work of the German artist Joseph Beuys is easy to dismiss. As they are preserved in museums, his installations can seem like debris strewn across the floor. The highly praised 2017 film “The Square” contains a running gag about an art work that is nothing but a pile of rocks, which keeps getting swept up by the cleaning staff of the museum; it’s clearly a poke at Beuys.

The Windmill Movie

Monday, November 26 at 7pm, 80 min
Hampton Library, Bridgehampton

Wainscott was the subject of an autobiographical and sociological film, to be called Windmill that Richard P. Rogers had been working on, off and on, for 20 years. It was left unfinished at his death from a brain tumor at age 57 in 2001. Alexander Olch’s Windmill Movie incorporates a great deal of the film from that project. It neither attempts to recreate it, nor attempts to be a conventional documentary portrait of the artist. Think of it as Mr. Olch’s variations on the themes of Rogers’s life and art: class, identity, his relationships to women and the nature of filmmaking itself.

The 32-year-old Mr. Olch, who comes from the same background as Rogers, was a friend and protégé. Rogers was his adviser on his thesis film at Harvard and planned to produce Mr. Olch’s documentary on Orson Welles in Spain, a project Mr. Olch abandoned when Rogers died. Instead he became obsessed with making a film about his mentor after Ms. Meiselas asked him to help her sort through 200 hours of unedited material that her husband had left behind. In an interview Olch’s said, “Richard’s strategy for shooting was to hunt, without being quite sure what he was hunting for. His footage is decisive and beautiful yet so mysterious as to motive that it was engrossing to start working with it as an editor”.

Indian Point

Monday, October 29 at 7pm, 94 min
Hampton Library, Bridgehampton

The Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant looms just 35 miles from Times Square. With over 50 million people living in close proximity to the aging facility, its continued operation has the support of the plant’s operators and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. But the plant has stoked a great deal of controversy in the surrounding community, including a vocal anti-nuclear contingent concerned that what happened at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant could happen here. In the brewing fight for clean energy and the catastrophic possibilities of government complacency, the film presents a balanced argument about the issues surrounding nuclear energy.

Ivy Meeropol has produced and directed an array of acclaimed documentary films and television series, including an hour-long episode for CNN’s Death Row Stories; The Hill series for the Sundance Channel; All About Abe, a feature length documentary; and Heir to An Execution, which explored the legacy of her grandparents, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award.

Modern Tide: Midcentury Architecture on Long Island

Saturday September 8, 2018 at 6pm, 86mins
Amagansett Library
Q/A with architect Bill Chaleff

When much of Long Island was still farmland, before it was cool, before the hordes of summer beachgoers clogged the roads, before building lots sold for seven figures, writers, artists, musicians and architects discovered its beauty and solitude and began to build summer cottages and year-round homes. Design Onscreen recently released Modern Tide: Midcentury Architecture on Long Island, an 86-minute documentary film by Jake Gorst about the times, places and people that converged to create lively, free, experimental designs for mostly modest houses that sit lightly on their sites. It’s also a lament against their wanton destruction and a plea to preserve what’s left.

Modern Tide highlights some of the region’s best work as a way to bring awareness and appreciation for such architectural achievements. The film explores the work of the region’s best postwar architects and designers, including Albert Fey, Frank Lloyd Wright, Marcel Breuer, Andrew Geller, Philip Johnson, Charles Gwathmey and others.

RICHARD ARTSCHWAGER: SHUT UP AND LOOK BY MARYTE KAVALIAUSKAS

July 30 at 7pm
Hampton Library, Bridgehampton

Q/A with filmmaker Maryte Kavaliauskas joined by artist John Torreano

This film provides an intimate look at Richard Artschwager, an extraordinarily gifted and reclusive artist. He's been called a pop artist, a conceptual artist, a minimalist, a master of the enigma, but none of these schools fit the range of his work. The artist himself says, "if you are a 'school'of' you are dead. A compelling look at a quirky, irreverent and reclusive artist who defied labels. Artschwager is known for his inventive, category-defying creations—plastic and wood sculptures and paintings on crenelated industrial paper. Despite being highly esteemed by museum directors and curators of contemporary art, fame eluded him up to the time of his death in early 2013. The film follows the artist as he turns reality upside down with his whimsical works of art. It joins him late in life as he abandons his reclusive lifestyle and permits a camera into the private world of his studio, his personal life, and his reminiscences of his colorful past.
