For the full program in at least three languages, check out the festival’s site. For exact directions and explanatory texts, download the PDF.

The Disappearance will be screening as part of The Only Possible City — one of many programs in this year’s New York Underground Film Festival. The screening will be at Anthology Film Archives on April 4, 6:30 pm. Other artists and filmmakers include Shelly Silver, Matthew Buckingham, Gerard Byrne, and Harun Farocki.
Also of note, I have a review of Adam Pendleton’s brilliant Performa 07 performance, The Revival, in the March issue of Art in America. I didn’t get around to posting notice on the blog, so if you can’t find an March issue on newsstands anymore, the entire (huge) omnibus review of Performa 07 can be found here for free (sans pictures).
