SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition Film Program: Beyond Access
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Pooja Rangan \n\n\n\nRun time: 49 minutes \n\n\n\nPrisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to information\, to intimacy\, to community\, to meaningful work\, to nourishment of all kinds\, and perhaps most cruelly\, to care. This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in California as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (the hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by enclosing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-sponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films together reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce collective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disability justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.”  \n\n\n\nThanh TranDying in Prison\, 2022HD Video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutesCourtesy of the artist \n\n\n\nCarolyn LazardPre-Existing Condition\, 2019HD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutesCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3 \n\n\n\nAnthony AlejandrezAnother Rainy Day\, 2023Phone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutesCourtesy of the artist \n\n\n\nJordan LordAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018HD Video (color\, sound)\, 16 minutesCourtesy of the artist \n\n\n\nRahsaan “New York” ThomasFriendly Signs\, 2023Video (color\, sound) 21 minutesCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media \n\n\n\nImage credit: Carolyn Lazard\, Pre-Existing Condition (still).

SUMMARY:Preview Screening - Ghosts of Adelanto: the Rise of Abolish ICE
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free preview of a new film about Adelanto\, the biggest immigration detention center in California\, and its impacts at the Landmark’s Del Mar Theatre on February 20. The public is invited to view Ghosts of Adelanto & The Rise of Abolish Ice\, a documentary film providing a close look into the lives of migrant families torn apart by Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE) through detention and deportation. Featuring first-hand accounts of people who have been detained\, Ghosts of Adelanto shows the wrenching stories of family separation and systemic injustices. The film also reveals the often-hidden narratives of resilience and resistance that have emerged from Adelanto\, showing the organizing and determination of courageous feminist and queer undocumented activists who have forged a blossoming movement to Abolish ICE.  \n\n\n\nFilm producers Setsu Shigematsu\, UC Riverside professor of media studies and director of Visions of Abolition (2011)\, and Cinthya Martinez\, UC Postdoctoral Fellow\, UC Santa Cruz\, will offer remarks after the preview. They will be joined by Abolish ICE activists. \n\n\n\nThis preview screening is part of the public scholarship program\, Visualizing Abolition\, an ongoing initiative at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences exploring art\, prisons\, and justice. Visualizing Abolition highlights the creative work underway by artists\, activists\, and scholars to imagine alternatives to current injustices. Visualizing Abolition is organized by UCSC Professor Gina Dent and Dr. Rachel Nelson. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP\n\n\n\n\nFilmmakers \n\n\n\nSetsu Shigematsu\, a professor of media studies\, directed the production of this film as a sequel to Visions of Abolition\, (2011)\, a documentary that provides an abolitionist understanding of the rise of the prison industrial complex\, featuring Angela Y. Davis. Shigematsu produced the sequel to expose how imprisoning immigrants is an expansion of the prison industrial complex and its racist policies. Shigematsu began working with UCLA alumnus and filmmaker Mayon Denton\, whose experience making films began with confrontations with the police in LA county. As a Black-Latino filmmaker from the two communities most targeted by policing and ICE’s racial profiling\, Denton’s drive to create this film was to reach audiences who do not know how ICE policies harm people.  \n\n\n\nGhosts of Adelanto is based on the life of co-writer Cinthya Martinez who was raised by a single undocumented mother in southern California. Martinez became an activist in highschool and earned her Ph.D. at UC Riverside. In the film Martinez explores stories of Adelanto’s apparitions and the violence experienced by women caged in Adelanto. \n\n\n\nA Collaborative Production  \n\n\n\nThis film is a collaboration between Critical Resistance\, founded 25 years ago to advance an abolitionist understanding of the prison industrial complex (PIC)\, and activists from Detention Watch Network\, composed of more than 100 immigrant rights organizations\, Freedom for Immigrants\, dedicated to abolishing immigrant detention\, and California Immigrant Youth Justice Alliance and Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice.

SUMMARY:Between Descendants and Ancestors: Indigenous Stories for a Future
DESCRIPTION:Between Descendants and Ancestors: Indigenous Stories for a Future is a two-part series of contemporary short films and animation by Indigenous artists residing on Turtle Island. The stories in this series ponder Native time and Indigenous history in relation to land\, settler colonialism\, and futurity. While some of these films could be categorized as “science fiction” or even “mythology\,” the films more closely reflect a concept of “Indigenous documentary” and complex worldviews of spiraling time\, time travel\, multiverses\, and alternative histories. They document a continuum of ancestral wisdom\, ancient time\, cultural values\, and living knowledge. The results are a matrix of Indigenous teachings that simultaneously reach into the past and the future while offering guidance for a future of Native sovereignty\, resilience\, and survival. \n\n\n\nCurated by John Jota Leaños\, Professor of Film & Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz\, the series will be continuously looped and available for viewing in the IAS galleries’ dedicated screening room during regular opening hours. \n\n\n\nʔEʔanx (The Cave) (10:42)\, Helen Haig-Brown (Tsilhqot’in)\, 2009 \n\n\n\nTimeTraveller™ (Episode 2) (8:36)\, Skawennati (Mohawk)\, 2008-13 \n\n\n\nThe 6th World (15:57)\, Nanobah Becker (Diné)\, 2012 \n\n\n\nImage: still from Nanobah Becker (Diné)\, The 6th World (2012).

SUMMARY:Sky Hopinka Film Screening: maɬni – towards the ocean\, towards the shore
DESCRIPTION:“This ethereal experimental documentary by Sky Hopinka is an essential portrait of contemporary Indigenous life.” – New York Times \n\n\n\nmaɬni (pronounced moth-nee) – towards the ocean\, towards the shore is one of the most significant recent ventures in Native North American filmmaking\, recognized by the MacArthur Foundation as a vital work that speaks to ongoing effects of colonial displacement and violence.  \n\n\n\nThis eighty-minute film is being shown free to the public for one night only on April 11 at the Del Mar Theatre in Santa Cruz. The film screening will be free and open to the public. Please register here.  \n\n\n\nThis full length experimental film follows Sweetwater Sahme and Jordan Mercier’s wanderings as they contemplate the afterlife\, rebirth\, and the place in-between. Spoken mostly in chinuk wawa\, which Hopinka speaks and teaches\, their stories depart from the Chinookan origin of death myth\, with its distant beginning and circular shape. As such\, it exemplifies Hopinka’s ambitious attempt to not only represent the lives of Indigenous peoples but to incorporate their worldviews into the very strategies of cinematic representation.  \n\n\n\nmaɬni – towards the ocean\, towards the shore is presented in combination with the multi-sited exhibition Sky Hopinka: Seeing and Seen\, on view at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences through April 16 and at the San José Museum of Art through July 9. Hopinka’s visit to the Central Coast also includes a talk with renowned Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg activist and author Leanne Betasamosake Simpson at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences on Wednesday\, April 12 and a screening of films produced by the COUSIN Collective at the San José Museum of Art on Thursday\, April 13.  \n\n\n\nFounded in 2018 by Sky Hopinka\, Adam Khalil\, Alexandra Lazarowich\, and Adam Piron\, COUSIN supports Indigenous artists expanding traditional definitions of the moving image by experiment with form and genre.  \n\n\n\nSKY HOPKINA \n\n\n\nSky Hopinka received a BA (2012) from Portland State University and an MFA (2016) from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. He is currently an assistant professor in the Film and Electronic Arts Program at Bard College. His work has been shown at numerous film festivals including Sundance\, Park City and Salt Lake City\, UT; Courtisane\, Ghent; Punto de Vista\, Pamplona; Milwaukee Film Festival; Chicago Underground Film Festival; Toronto International Film Festival; and Ann Arbor Film Festival. He has also exhibited work at venues including Memorial Art Gallery\, University of Rochester\, NY; Museum of Modern Art\, New York City; Hessel Museum of Art\, Annandale-on-Hudson\, NY; and the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York City. He was the recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Grant in 2022. Hopinka is a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and a descendent of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians.

SUMMARY:Film Screening of "The White Album" by Arthur Jafa
DESCRIPTION:Arthur Jafa is an artist\, director\, editor\, and award-winning cinematographer. His renowned work Love Is The Message\, The Message Is Death (2016) is a compilation of found footage set to Kanye West’s gospel-inspired hip-hop track “Ultralight Beam.” The meticulously edited seven-minute montage surveys African American identity and black experience through a vast spectrum of imagery\, including well-known pictures from the civil rights era\, recent scenes of police brutality\, and iconic clips of extraordinary athleticism. For The White Album\, Jafa shifts his lens to white experience\, combining imagery from a wide array of sources\, from music videos to confessionals posted to YouTube\, to produce a trenchant examination of race relations in the United States. Jafa received the 2019 Golden Lion award for best artist in the Venice Biennale for The White Album.  \nJust Futures: Black Quantum Futurism\, Arthur Jafa\, and Martine Syms​\, curated by T.J. Demos\, is on view at the Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery January 19- March 19\, 2022. With artworks by Black Quantum Futurism\, Arthur Jafa\, and Martine Syms\, Just Futures highlights poignant creative experiments in futurity and justice\, directed at emancipatory worlds-to-come.  \nFilm courtesy the artist and Gladstone Gallery\, New York and Brussels. The screening is hosted by the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery\, Center for Creative Ecologies\, and The Humanities Institute. \nVisitors must be in compliance with Covid-19 protocols.

DESCRIPTION:Afrofuturist Film Screening: Space Is the Place\, Dirty ComputerNovember 2\, 7-10:00p.m.Porter College Quad\, UC Santa CruzThis event is limited to the campus community and not open to the public. Some folding chairs will be available. You are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket or cushion to sit on. Bundle up as the weather may change rapidly! \n \n\n\nabout the films to be screened\n\n\n\n\n\nSun Ra\, Space Is the Place\, 1974\n\n\n\nScience fiction\, blaxploitation\, cosmic free-jazz and radical race politics combine when Sun Ra returns to earth in his music-powered space ship to battle for the future of the black race and offer an ‘alter-destiny’ to those who would join him. Intentionally created as an homage to the low-budget science fiction films of the 50’s and 60’s\, Space Is The Place became a visual embodiment of Sun Ra’s Afro-Egyptian myth of salvation in outer space. The special effects\, outrageous plot line and apocalyptic message harmonize with the otherworldly score and a climactic live performance by one of the most innovative and profound groups in jazz history. This is the director’s cut of the 1974 film production restored to its original 82 minute length. \n\n\n\n\n\nJanelle Monáe\, Dirty Computer (Emotional Picture)\, 2018\n\n\n\nA visually stunning story of a young woman named Jane 57821\, who is living in a totalitarian near-future society where citizens are referred to as “computers.. A timely and poignant Emotion Picture\, Dirty Computer explores humanity and what truly happens to life\, liberty and the pursuit of happiness when mind and machines merge\, and when the government chooses fear over freedom. \n\n\n\n\n\nStudents must be in compliance with COVID-19 protocols and the badge system for clearance to be on campus. Please wear your face covering at this event. Check your Health e-Messenger for your daily clearance.  \n\n\n\nPresented by the Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery and the Institute of the Arts and Sciences with support from the Porter College Activities Office. \n\n\n\n\n\n	 (Tab to skip section.)\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n				View the talk here				 Play\n			\n		\n	\n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n					Close

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Since I Been Down
DESCRIPTION:October 21-28\, 2021Film Screening: Watch Here \nRegister also for a live conversation with director Gilda Sheppard and author and activist adrienne maree brown on October 26\, 4-5:30 pm\, PDT.  \nSince I Been Down tells the story of the impacts of the rising rates of incarceration on Tacoma\, WA. The film is told through the eyes of a community impacted by lack of investment in resources and the fear-based policies of the 1980s and ‘90s that sacrificed and labeled their most-vulnerable children as irredeemable “super predators.” \n​The film presents dramatic stories of how fear\, racism and a false sense of safety\, security and prosperity\, arrested the development of one American community\, discarding the poorest and targeting brown and black youth and led to the disappearance of an entire generation of children.  \nSince I Been Down spotlights the life of Kimonti Carter and a group of his peers\, young girls and boys\, as they maneuver through a non-negotiable pathway to joining gangs as early as 11 years old and follows their trajectory into violent crimes and to prison. The film unravels intimate stories from interviews brought to life through archival footage\, cinema verité discussions\, masquerade and dance to cinematically unravel why children commit violent crime\, and how these children now adults are breaking free from their fate by creating a model of justice that is transforming their lives\, our humanity and a quality of life for all our children.

SUMMARY:Speculative Futures of the Black Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Relic 0\, Larry Achiampong\, 2017Relic 0 is the first part of Larry Achiampong’s  Relic Traveller: Phase 1\, a multi-disciplinary project manifesting in performance\, audio\, moving image and prose. Taking place across various landscapes and locations\, the project builds upon a postcolonial perspective informed by technology\, agency and the body\, and narratives of migration. \nKempinksi\, Neil Beloufa\, 2007 Named for the global brand of luxury hotels\, this speculative documentary asks several Malians to recount their visions for the future. \nH-E-L-L-O\, Cauleen Smith\, 2014Nine musicians play the tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind at significant sites of historical trauma and communal resistance throughout New Orleans. \nSwimming in Your Skin Again\, Terence Nance\, 2016 Set in Florida\, this surreal film moves through swamps\, a swimming pool\, a church and the ocean\, exploring spirituality and love against the backdrop of the rising oceans and increasing hurricanes. \nRelic 1\, Larry Achiampong\, 2017In this second film from the Relic Traveller series\, a Relic Traveller wanders across a seemingly desolate United Kingdom. Uncovering fragments of audible data presenting clue-like testimonies to a forgotten Empire\, the Relic Traveller soon finds themselves in an atmosphere that simultaneously delivers poetic moments of the sublime met with increasingly harrowing claustrophobia and tales of trauma.  \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. Metered parking is available in the Performing Arts Lot adjacent to Digital Arts Research Center. For additional information and disability or access needs please contact ias@ucsc.edu.
