After a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, Molly Surno and Cinema 16 are back, taking part in the Mono X Festival, Mono No Aware’s tenth annual Cinema Arts Festival. Continuing the tradition of staging happenings built around experimental films, started by Amos and Marcia Vogel in 1947, Surno pairs avant-garde works with live music. On November 12, C16 will inaugurate the new 99 Scott space in Brooklyn with twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace of Blonde Redhead playing a commissioned score to Norman McLaren’s 1952 A Phantasy of Color, Jordan Belson’s 1972 Chakra, Malcom Le Grice’s 1970 Berlin Horse, Sarah Petty’s 1981 Furies, Charles and Ray Eames’s 1977 Powers of Ten, Naomi Uman’s 1999 Removed, Adam Beckett’s 1974 Flesh Flows, and Scott Bartlett’s 1968 OffOn. Started in November 2007, Mono No Aware “is a cinema-arts nonprofit organization working to promote connectivity through the cinematic experience and preserve the technologies of traditional motion picture filmmaking, [seeking] to build the first nonprofit motion picture lab in the United States.” The Mono X Festival continues through December 3 with such other programs as “Expanded Cinema from the UK” at the Firehouse, “A New York 8mm Minute: Reduce to Cognition” at Spectacle, “Never – Still” at the CAVE home of LEIMAY, and “Mono Made, 2009-2016” at BRIC.
