Bright green leaves stripped from ears of corn, and later, the vibrant yellow ears placed steaming in the waiting bowl.

A meditation on the fragile moments of corn\u2019s passage from living sun-nourished plant to food to light image.

What do I mean by that? Often our conscious mind is wrapped in ego, disrupted by life events, and distracted by the challenges we navigate. How can we, as humans who carry all this experience with us, be present and find an authentic image? This question has been central to the early development of my creative practice and formative to the artist I am today.<\/p>\n<div>I will be asking participants to bring their work or ideas that they are excited about to workshop collectively with me as a facilitator to possibly unravel a little the images in your own work. We will be working through a process of discussion, sharing, and working through the images together. So, to this end I ask everyone to bring material, objects,\u00a0ideas, songs, references that are central to the work you are processing so that we can try to find the image together. Lastly when I say image \u2013 It can mean an image, a memory, a thought, a feeling, a sound, a moment \u2013 it is the thing in our mind that we see or dwell in when we are envisioning the work itself.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-6-pFCheGiai2\" aria-controls=\"section-1-6-pFCheGiai2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">September 11th &#8211; Tenzin Phuntsog &#8211; FILMS BY TENZIN PHUNTSOG &#8211; Screening<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-6-pFCheGiai2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-6-pFCheGiai2\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1339 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cema\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2025\/09\/Untitled-2-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"Two hands\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" \/>RECENT WORKS AND WORKS IN PROGRESS: Films by Tenzin Phuntsog.<\/p>\n<p><b>PALA AMALA\u00a0<\/b>(or \u201cFather Mother\u201d in the Tibetan language) is a two-channel video featuring the artist\u2019s parents, who fled Tibet as children in the early 1960s. Phuntsog\u2019s slow camera moves and deliberate framing capture his parents performing as themselves, as well as serving as vessels for a diaspora family. The reduced images communicate feelings around familial expressions of care, language, and identity. Memories of and longing for a lost homeland are expressed without words, as if hanging in the air, reflected through the gaze of subjects and the camera, unresolved. On a California beach, the father relives the moment he returned to Tibet for his first and only time in the 1990s, rubbing sand\u2014in place of soil\u2014over his hands and body.\u00a0<b>PALA AMALA<\/b>\u00a0was filmed on the Pacific Coast, where Phuntsog\u2019s family settled in 1995, and their home in suburban America.<br \/>\nUSA \/ 2022 \/ 6 min. \/ 2-channel video installation \/ Sound\u00a035mm Scanned to 4K<\/p>\n<p><b><i>PURE LAND\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>A son traverses remote and dramatic natural landscapes in the United States in an effort to capture images resembling his mother\u2019s native Tibet.

Beginning with a 600 meter descent into the depths of the earth, Good Luck shines a flashlight onto the human face of labor in the time-warp\u2019d working conditions of an underground state-owned mine in Serbia. The hiss of oxygen cuts through the diesel rumble, the walls of the office vibrate with explosions two levels below ; war-torn and half-forgotten, these miners\u2019 physical struggle finds its mirror a continent away \u2013 in the tropical heat of an illegal Surinamese gold mine. The water pumps roar under the blinding sun ; silver liquid rolls across the hand of a Saramaccan Maroon as he adds mercury to dirt in a never-ending search for gold.\u00a0 Formed between dark and light, cold and heat, North and South, Good Luck immerses its viewer in the precarious natural and social environments of two distinct labor groups so as to better understand the bonds that men share. In a time of global economic turmoil, here is the human foundation of capital, revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Russell in-person with a Q&amp;A to follow the film.<\/p>\n<p>March 27th, 2025<br \/>\nDoors at 5:00\u00a0PM, films begins at 5:30 PM.<br \/>\nRuntime 143\u00a0min.<\/p>\n<p>USC School of Cinematic Arts Complex<br \/>\nRoom SCI 106<br \/>\n900 W 34th St, Los Angeles, CA 90007<\/p>\n<p>FREE ADMISSION.

Everything is interconnected and intertwined.\u201d \u2014\u2013 Kengo Kuma<\/p>\n<p>The title of this video, taken from the texts of the architect Kengo Kuma, suggests a way of looking at everything as \u201cinterconnected and intertwined\u201d, as are the historical and the present, the tool and the artifact. Images and representations of two structures in the Portland Metropolitan Area that have direct and complicated connections to the Chinookan people who inhabit(ed) the land are woven with audio tapes of one of the last speakers of the Chinookan creole, chinuk wawa. These localities of matter resist their reduction into objects, and call anew for space and time given to wandering as a deliberate act and the empowerment of shared utility.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sky Hopinka<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>(Ho-Chunk Nation\/Pechanga Band of Luise\u00f1o Indians) was born and raised in Ferndale, Washington and spent a number of years in Palm Springs and Riverside, California, Portland, Oregon, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Locating drama in the real-time shift of evening fading into night, this is perhaps Lockhart\u2019s most optical and painterly moving image to date, composing figures, scenography, and soundscape into allegory and abstraction. The artist\u2019s investment in forms of dance in previous works is felt here too as the initial appearance of an individual slowly builds into a culture and a gathering. An astounding number of stars emerge bright in the dusking sky, blazing as a distant corollary to the growing constellation of roving bodies scanning the rock- strewn beach by cell phone light for what we do not know. The streaking of shooting stars and gliding of satellites throws the otherwise measured pace into relief. Shot on the Swedish coast with a close-knit group of friends Lockhart has been involved with for years, Eventide is concerned with the future and what it might hold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sharon Lockhart in-person with a Q&amp;A to follow the film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>SOUND AND PERFORMANCE<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A Workshop with Sharon Lockhart<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Experience the intersection of sound and movement in an exploration of the soundscape that surrounds us daily.

Finally, we\u2019ll bring our composition to life through physical performance, bridging the gap between sound and the body.

This will focus on the opening vignette that looks at a history of Eadweard Muybridge\u2019s involvement in the US Army\u2019s campaign against the Modoc Tribe of Northern California and the history of the Cerro Gordo Mine in the Owens Valley as it relates to a history of resource extraction to manufacture early film stock.

Widely considered his crowning achievement, the film has long been canonized as cinema\u2019s essential image of San Francisco. In its sundry dissections, much of the focus centers on its portrayal of obsession while few have dug deep into its foregrounding of California\u2019s dark legacy of the Mission Era. Based on Adam Piron\u2019s live reading and visual essay, this work-in-progress offers a reading of Vertigo from a uniquely Indigenous vantage point and interprets Hitchcock\u2019s masterpiece as a statement on the ongoing costs of a colonialism, specific to California, and the psychological violence that continues to ripple from its blast point.

We will explore a form of cinematography that works with natural light as well as with lights found on location, and talk about strategies to edit while you shoot. In this gymnastics of the director-cinematographer, you will think about how to use the tools of fiction in nonfiction shoots (by yourself or with a small crew, without a script or a plan) to control exposure and color, think about framing and lenses, lighting and composition, movement and operation, measurement and focus, pre-shoot model-making and post-production color correction, as well as using notational drawing and the viewfinder diagramming to prepare the choreography of anticipating our shots in advance, so that you can react, often instinctively and unexpectedly, ideally without the restraints of technical or conceptual control, when you are face to face with the world.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To secure your spot in this workshop email us at CEMA@usc.edu with your name and institutional affiliation by October 20th, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop will be held on\u00a0<strong>October 27th, 2023, 1:00-4:00pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This event is co-sponsored by USC Center for Ethnographic Media Arts and USC School of Cinematic Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-4-TI54wzDU1s\" aria-controls=\"section-1-4-TI54wzDU1s\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Oct 26 &#8211; Joana Pimenta &#8211; DRY GROUND BURNING &#8211; Screening <\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-4-TI54wzDU1s\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-4-TI54wzDU1s\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-649\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cema\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2023\/10\/thumbnail_MATOSECO_2-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cema\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2023\/10\/thumbnail_MATOSECO_2-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cema\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2023\/10\/thumbnail_MATOSECO_2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cema\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2023\/10\/thumbnail_MATOSECO_2-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cema\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2023\/10\/thumbnail_MATOSECO_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A FILM BY JOANA PIMENTA AND ADIRLEY QUEIR\u00d3S\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Joana Pimenta\u00a0<\/span>will be in-person at the screening.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>October 26th, 2023<br \/>\nDoors at 6:30pm, film begins at 7:00pm<br \/>\nRuntime 153 min.<\/p>\n<p>SCA 310, Steven Spielberg Building<br \/>\nUSC School of Cinematic Arts Complex<br \/>\n900 W. 34th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">FREE ADMISSION.
