SUMMARY:Rooftop Cinema: The American Sector at Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Rooftop Cinema returns to the sculpture garden atop MMoCA on State Street for a 17th season\, now on Thursday nights in August. The outdoor series\, which has showcased everything from experimental animation to concert films to offbeat narratives\, now shifts its thematic lens towards a four-film slate of personal documentaries. Courtney Stephens and Pacho Velez’s The American Sector (2020) kicks off Rooftop’s 2022 programming here. The succinct 70-minute film is a fusion of travelogue\, political documentary\, and art appreciation\, as the co-directors capture sections of the Berlin Wall that have been reappropriated and displayed in over 75 locations across the United States\, from Fort Benning to Vegas. Based on Velez’s prior work with slow cinema ethnographic fiction Manakamana (a 2014 Wisconsin Film Festival selection)\, expect a distinctive eye for detail and resonant commentary on American values. —Grant Phipps

SUMMARY:Rooftop Cinema: Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché at Madison Museum Of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:As with years of recent Rooftop Cinema past\, the outdoor series tends to favor an annual explication of an iconoclastic musician or groundbreaking movement in punk or the avant-garde. Past year’s selections have included Tony Conrad: Completely In The Present in 2019 to Desolation Center in 2020. This year’s Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché is a multifaceted portrait of the titular British-Somali poet and vocalist (born Marianne Elliott-Said)\, who fronted X-Ray Spex in late 1970s London. \nWhile Poly’s DIY flair for fashion and distinctively defiant punk rock influenced riot grrrl acts in the 1990s and Afro-punk in the 2000s\, this documentary ultimately revolves around a family affair\, as it’s co-directed by the famed singer’s daughter Celeste Bell (with increasingly prolific documentarian Paul Sng). \nIn the opening seconds of the film\, Bell considers a question that’s often asked of her about Poly being a good mother. Over the course of 90 minutes\, Bell attempts to answer and reconcile the faces of public and private life. In reconstructing and retracing Poly Styrene’s artistic roots through artifacts that predate Bell while simultaneously sifting through early memories (or those made in her absence) as a child\, this biography documentary becomes a surprisingly psychological and uncommonly comprehensive look at identity. —Grant Phipps

SUMMARY:Rooftop Cinema: The Village Detective: A Song Cycle at Madison Museum Of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Excerpt from Maxwell Courtright‘s review: As any nonfiction filmmaker who’s working with celluloid material must acknowledge\, distinctions between truth and fiction are fraught in the Russian film archive. The Village Detective: A Song Cycle director Bill Morrison notes how staged footage from the third anniversary of 1917’s October Revolution is sometimes treated as footage of the original event; earlier\, Morrison details how the 1917 American film about the death of Rasputin\, The Fall Of The Romanoffs\, co-starred and was guided by Rasputin’s real-life rival Iliodor. This may give a clue as to why Morrison focuses even more than usual on the imperfections of this source material (the original\, recovered 1969 film The Village Detective)\, with several stretches of his film almost Brakhage-like in their splashes of rusty waves that obscure all identifiable figures for minutes on end. This is unvarnished\, a more true” presentation of a film that Morrison belatedly acknowledges exists in other\, cleaner formats; history sits inescapably on the image’s surface.
