Events worth noting.

An impressive line-up of downtown musicians has been assembled to perform with film projections from the Co-op's archive: Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Elliott Sharp, Todd Reynolds, Mark Stewart, Sue Garner, Patrick Watson, and a trio consisting of Tim Barnes, Alan Licht and Lee Ranaldo.

Musical performances will be paired with screenings of films by the likes of Ken Jacobs, Michael Snow, Harry Smith, Jenn Reeves, Bill Morrison, Donna Cameron, Emily Hubley, and Ron Rice.

Noted more urgently - because it's tomorrow rather than just next week some time - is the RESFEST event Copy Fight, exploring "the future of remix/mashup culture." Panelists at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco include filmmaker Bryan Boyce (America's Biggest Dick), Larisa Mann aka DJ Ripley, Kid Kameleon, Jonathan Marlow of GreenCine, Gregory Niemeyer of UC Berkeley's Center for New Media and Jason Schultz of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

The event will roll on with an ever-evolving cast to Los Angeles and Chicago and then to the UK: London (October 2) and Bristol (October 30).

Also moving through Europe in October will be Kim Gordon's Perfect Partner, a "surreal psychodrama cum road movie starring Michael Pitt (The Dreamers, Last Days) [which] unfolds to a thundering free rock live soundtrack."
