Praise for Pat O’Neill’s 
Water and Power
:
"The 'reality' animated by the film is LA; its topography and social ambiance, its myths of creation and embedding of a dream. It is surely the greatest of contemporary 'city symphonies.'" - Paul Arthur, 
Moving Picture
"... reveals a modern city as layer over layer of experience, and makes no pretense of reducing Los Angeles to anything like a single, coherent understanding. In WATER AND POWER, LA is not merely an elaborate reality; it is a nearly overwhelming surreality." - Scott McDonald, 
Wide Angle
"The continuous shifts and surprises that lie at the heart of the film's form make a kind of grand metaphor for the never-ending change that underlies nature, civilization and the multiply symbiotic interchanges between them." - Fred Camper, 
Chicago Reader
As part of 
YesterdayLA, 
the Philosophical Research Society’s monthlong exploration of Los Angeles history, 
Los Angeles Filmforum
 and 7th House are proud to present an evening of two films which cast their strikingly singular eyes on our city: 
Pat O’Neill
’s experimental documentary masterpiece 
WATER AND POWER 
(1989)
 and 
Gary Beydler
’s astonishingly inventive 
VENICE PIER 
(1976)
 – 
both presented on 16mm!
WATER AND POWER (dir. Pat O’Neill, 1989)
We are honored to welcome experimental pioneer
 Pat O’Neill in person for a very special 16mm presentation! 
Rarely screened, 
O’Neill’s remarkable masterwork is an intricate and technically staggering documentary like no other
, exploring the complicated relationship between urban sprawl and water in the “city that turned land into a desert.” A special effects virtuoso with credits including 
Close Encounters of the Third Kind 
and 
Star Wars
, O’Neill 
employs a dense variety of techniques including superimposition, time-lapse photography, motion-controlled tracking shots and optical printing
 to brilliantly construct a citywide collage, deconstructing Los Angeles’ mythos to reveal its seemingly immemorial struggle between industrialization and nature and the tensions between water rights and political power.
Primarily shot in two locations, Owens Valley – the site of the Los Angeles Aqueduct which provides one-third of the city’s water and was the epicenter of the California Water Wars – and an old office building in downtown LA, the film is "metaphorically about the exchange of energy between two places. It is also about water, in all of its states, and about cyclical motion: the planets, the tides, the implied rotation of the camera on its axis, and the repetitive actions of the performers. There are also quotations from older movies and their soundtracks: at times their landscapes become continuous with those of the present. Human habitation in this wilderness is tenuous and risky." (Pat O'Neill)
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at the 1990 Sundance Film Festival
, 
WATER AND POWER
 stands as one of the greatest and most strikingly innovative meditations on the complex paradoxes at the heart of Los Angeles.
Dir. Pat O’Neill, 1989, 54 mins, United States, Color, English, Unrated, 16mm presentation.
Special thanks to Martha Colburn and Canyon Cinema.
VENICE PIER (dir. Gary Beydler, 1976)
A wholly unique meditation on time and place, 
Gary Beydler
’s 1976 short film 
walks us down the length of Venice’s iconic pier – with each step forward shifting the viewer through time
.
Mark Toscano, film preservationist at The Academy Film Archive, whose restoration of 
VENICE PIER
 
screens this evening on 16mm:
"Gary Beydler's last, and possibly least-seen, film is 
an exhilarating tour down the length of the Venice Pier, shot over the course of an entire year.
 It's a particularly cinematic walk in many ways. Gary investigates the way a single film stock responds so diversely to different seasons, light, weather, time of day. He also beautifully exploits the power of editing to compose or recompose events. 
Shot spatially out of order over the course of a year, Gary recomposed the footage in editing to make it proceed consistently forward in space, resulting in an intricate mixing up of chronology,
 so some cuts could represent a jump of months either forward or backward in time.
 The result is one of gauzy impressionism brought into vivid and breathtaking clarity."
Gary Beydler, 2008:
"I wanted to make a film that was exactly one year in the making. I love the ocean, and I decided to shoot on the Venice Pier, which was about a quarter mile long. About every ten feet, there are divisions in the pier, which I decided to use as the shooting points. I made a drawing of the pier on vellum, marking out these divisions. I started shooting maybe in November or December, and shot it all the way through to the following year, finishing on the same date. I shot in all the different seasons, different times of day, filling in the blanks on the drawing I made of the pier. It was shot out of order: watching the film, you're moving forward ever so slowly, through different times, different seasons, different situations. Sometimes you get the feeling of movement, sometimes you don't. No need for staging, I just shot things that were happening.”
Dir. Gary Beydler, 1976, 16 mins, United States, Color, Unrated, 16mm
Special thanks to Mark Toscano and Canyon Cinema.

좋아요, 오늘은 사람이 많았어요. 학교 단체가 많았어요. 그리고, 우리가 도착했을 때 다음 티켓은 2시간 후에 예약이 되었어요. 1인당 18달러, 주차비로 15달러가 더 들었어요. 제 생각엔 꽤 좋은 경험이었어요. 이런 것들이 흥미로웠기 때문에 기다리는 게 전혀 불편하지 않았어요. 하지만 사람이 많긴 해요.

몇 편의 할리우드 영화에 등장한 LA의 상징적인 랜드마크. 박물관은 확실히 방문할 가치가 있습니다.

친구를 위해 예약하세요: &quot;빅버스 투어는 할리우드에서 베벌리힐스, 윌셔 지역까지 LA의 관광 명소를 탐험하는 환상적인 방법이었습니다. LA 주민으로서 저는 거의 보지 못하는 지역을 방문할 수 있는 기회를 감사하게 생각했습니다. 각 장소에 대한 흥미로운 퀴즈로 가득 찬 투어의 매력적인 해설은 경험을 더욱 즐겁게 만들었고 앞으로 이 장소들을 다시 방문하고 싶은 마음을 불러일으켰습니다.&quot;

Sunset Boulevard는 LA에서 가장 상징적인 것 중 하나이지만 궁극적으로는 도로일 뿐입니다. 예를 들어 몇 가지 하이라이트를 다루는 것은 의심의 여지가 없습니다. 플레이보이 맨션, 오펜하임 그룹은 할리우드로 바로 연결되지만 모험을 하는 것보다 결국 통과하게 되는 것입니다.
