Through compassionate, accessible, and non-judgmental education and resources, BABI seeks to increase and promote normal, spontaneous labor and vaginal delivery, minimize mother/baby separations, and reduce the maternal/infant morbidity and mortality rates.

Mar 27, 2009: Telecom Council's Investor Forum: 6-8 Start-ups Reviewed at Samsung Campus

Sat, 02/21/2009 - 21:07
Our quarterly Telecom Council Investor Forum serves 3 main purposes:

To connect Service Provider members who are investing time, energy, and often capital into telecom startups to the larger telecom-focused venture community. Our quarterly participants include our SPiF members (from AT&T to Vodafone and from DoCoMo to SK Telecom), the telecom vendor community (from Intel Capital and Qualcomm Ventures to Nokia Growth Partners and Sony).

To review pre-qualified telecom startups for new products and services, and investment opportunities

To initiate dialogue and relationships between all the investors in telecom - including the carriers, the vendors, the VCs, and the entrepreneurs.

Attendees should expect to see 6-8 presenting startups, each with 15-20 minutes to address the Investor Forum. Dialogue before and after presentations, during breaks, and over lunch ensures that all participants have an opportunity to connect.

We maintain the executive and intimate nature of these events by making them available only to our Telecom Council Investor Forum members and their guests. We encourage companies who can add value to these meetings to join the Council, and we can accommodate invited guests for $300. A description of the Investor Forum and membership options can be found at www.telecomcouncil.com.

FREE for members, $300 for non-members.

Mar 5, 2009: Alphabar at Casanova Lounge

Sat, 02/21/2009 - 12:25
Alphabar is ROCKING IT with #3! And what's the third letter of the alphabet? Did you say "C"??? That's right, C is for Casanova, you studmuffins and studmuffettes. March 5th it will be time to flood yet another bar with totally awesome people. But don't let all this Casanova business fool you - this is not a singles night or business networking night or technically anything at all. Just a bunch of interesting people meeting up at a different bar every fortnight. But that's not to say there aren't a lot of hot, eligible, businessy people coming to these, naturally. ;)

NOTE: This location is tentative - RSVP now and we'll let you know if we update the venue.

Here's how this works - This is an open invite. We invited you, and now it is your turn to invite all your great/awesome/hot friends. Then your friends will invite their friends, and their friends will invite their friends--and so on. The idea is to have a growing group of great people that we would have never otherwise had the opportunity to meet.

This group convenes fortnightly (every other week) at a new venue that starts with the next letter of the alphabet. This way we can get to know cool new places and people all over the Bay Area. Feel free to suggest your favorite places as the right letters come up!

So go ahead, invite all your friends. Come to the events when you can, and you'll be sure to meet great new people and forge meaningful connections with them.

P.S. Why are we doing this? Because Abby and David love helping people meet and connect with other people. Isn't that what society is all about? There's no cover, no scam, no secret tattoos, no religion to join. Just show up and have fun. Really.

P.P.S. DON'T FORGET TO JOIN THE ALPHABAR FACEBOOK GROUP (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=58547478487). We will post all the venues/details for our future events to the group, so don't miss out!

Mar 13, 2009: Journey from Darkness into Light at Artists' Television Access

Sat, 02/21/2009 - 07:05
Journey from Darkness Into Light:
A Spooktacular Program of Films by Kerry Laitala

A Fragment from a Lost Film- 16mm, 3 minutes, silent- 1992Introduction to a walking anachronism

"Orbit"- 16mm, 9 minutes, hand-made soundtrack-2006
Candy apple light emissions create a series of photic stimulating events that tickle the retinas. "Orbit" takes one into the realm of the mistake…. a playful pulsation of mis-registered images made when a lab accidentally split the film from 16mm to regular 8. This format was then reconstituted on the optical printer making the colors and contrast further blow out into the atmosphere. Kodachrome color fields create tremulous vibrations whose flickerings hypnotize. The Kodachrome Series, of which "Orbit" is a part, deals directly with chromatic motion studies and creates an illusion of frozen light fields; holding light captive and exploring the phenomenon of retinal afterimage. The soundtrack is comprised of the flutterings of optical noise reverberating to the splices of the film that is intermixed with hand drawn extensions of the visual plane onto the soundtrack area. By combining a series of abstract shapes with permanent marker, the rhythm and tempo of the image is directly enhanced through this mark making process. The fanciful sputterings crackle and snap, tickling the tympanum of the eardrums. We enter through the oval window, while the Gravitron spins eternally.

“OUT OF THE ETHER”- 16MM, 11 Minutes, sound"Out of the Ether" is a hand crafted 16mm film composed on the optical printer and toned to bring out pulsating hues of oozing greens and yellows. "Out of the Ether" poses the following questions: "What do we leave behind? Are institutional forces using our hysteria to reap the benefits of possible infection? Whose environment could we possibly be affecting? What unseen forces would unscrupulous beings want to use to infiltrate our bodies and perhaps our consciousness? Who is the enemy? "Out of the Ether" unleashes upon an unsuspecting audience septic musings about fear in the guise of microbial menace and mayhem.

"Retrospectroscope"- 16mm, 5 minutes, silent, 1997
The “Retrospectroscope” apparatus has gone through many incarnations; its presence belies the processes that have created it. As a pre-cinematic device, it traces an evolutionary trajectory, encircling the viewer in a procession of flickering fantasies of fragmented lyricism. The “Retrospectroscope” is a reinvention that simulates the illusion of the analysis of motion to recall early mysteries of the quest for this very discovery now taken for granted. The Muses of Cinema” represented by the female figures on the disk, have emerged from a dark Neoclassical past. Streams of images revolve around, in an attempt to harness notions of a cinematic prehistory tracing past motions and gestures to burn their dance on the surface of the retinas. This film known as the “Retrospectroscope", was described in the San Francisco Bay Guardian as “A spinning flashing UFO/roulette wheel of Athenian proportions.” Sponsored By The Princess Grace Foundation-1996

"Hallowed"-16mm, 11 minutes, color, sound - 2002"Hallowed" is a 16mm film that portrays a mystical voyage made back in time by an unconscious woman in the throes of a cataleptic state. She finds herself in Plato's cave where flickering flames incite a prehistoric cinematic reverie evoking an experience of magical proportions. Her internal state is evoked through a chromatically textural metamorphosis that plays across her visage as she transcends the pain inflicted from an unknown source. Flames of purification melt away layers of trauma, and send the dislocated psyche back into the realm of the present as an integrated self. "Hallowed" evokes a transcendent state that could only be traversed and negotiated through the ritual contemplation of the elusive pictograms and archaic petroglyphs on the cave wall, as the realm of cinema becomes an antidote for the emptiness of earthly existence.

"Secure the Shadow...'Ere the Substance Fade"- 16mm, color, sound- 9 minutes 1997"Secure the Shadow" is a meditation on disintegration and mortality. The film utilizes antique Medical stereoscopic images from the Victorian era, which are simultaneously disturbing and beautiful. The filmmaker's intention is to reveal universal truths about the overwhelming quality of disease to render us ultimately mute, immobilized within a corporeal shell that has succumbed to imminent forces beyond our control. The filmmaker also wants the film to address the myth that dignity is automatically restored upon the visage when facing death. In analyzing the original function of the stereoscopic images, the filmmaker intends to expose their classificatory nature. These anonymous subjects were reduced to paradigms of pathology, embalmed in time within their exterior presence. By re-photographing them on the optical printer and placing them in a mythical home, the filmmaker endeavors to re-animate these visages to ensnare them, or allow them to roam free on the surface of celluloid. Absence transforms to presence as the latent image reveals the manifest content, the slippery territories in between unraveling like the threads joining the crazy quilt that connects images together. An anachronistic Victorian sensibility places the images in a chimerical, historical context that embodies the film with a mind that is paradoxical and alien to our modern day perspective. The title "Secure the Shadow...'Ere the Substance Fade, let nature imitate what nature has made", comes from a Nineteenth century post mortem photographer who advertised his services. This reference speaks about the function of photography as a democratizing medium that assists in the process of mourning and serves as a physical reminder of loss.
Sponsored By The Princess Grace Foundation-1996

"The Adventure Parade"- 16mm Black, White & Blue, Silent, 5 minutes- 2000"The Adventure Parade" is a hand processed film that deals with the nature of using found images self-reflexively calling attention to the re-framing imprint of the filmmaker serving to reveal the duplicitous nature of the material. The inherent violence that is hinted at lies beyond the threshold of understanding, and only offers clues of past interventions."

"Conquered"- 16mm, B&W & Color, 15 minutes, sound, 2000
Filmed entirely at the Akademie Schloss Solitude, “Conquered” comes from the depths of a submerged self. The filmmaker incorporated her own imagery with found material from German industrial films, most notably a film about a youth prison. These images were fused with images from a film brought from the U.S. entitled "The Epic of Everest" summarizing an attempt to reach the mountain's summit by George Mallory and Sandy Irvine in 1924. Mallory's body was just recently discovered below the North face. Killed after a fall, his innards were subsequently eaten out by Goraks. Amidst the controversy of whether Mallory made the summit or not, the filmmaker's intent in using the Everest imagery was to describe a feeling of a frozen landscape as emotional state. As she was awestruck at its extreme beauty and chill, she felt that it perfectly portrayed an immobilized, catatonic state analogous to the darkness, and the snow covered quietude. As matter becomes transformed into a morass of material incoherence, the filmmaker wants the viewer to become lost in the imagery, and to feel as though he/she is dangling precariously over the edge of a precipice. She merged the materials: celluloid base with alchemically, manipulated surface and found a way to crack the emulsion to yield a fragile, encumbered palate- a veritable testament to the forces of organic catalysts in motion.
Sponsored by the Akademie Schloss Solitude and Hakan Warn

Transfixed- 16mm, 8 minutes, sound 2005, Sound Collaboration with David Shea
Bridging the gap between past and present, a series of thought pictures transcribe moments of
Cautionary pleasure submerged in undulating illusions of liquefied light and shadow.
Commissioned by the 34th International Film Festival Rotterdam

“Little Bassy Velvet”- An Expanded Cinema, Projector Performance Piece - 16mm film loops, 35mm slides and the sleight of hand…9 minutes-2008"A whimsical, expanded cinema piece that exists somewhere between a light spill and a conjuring act, “Little Bassy Velvet” teases the retinas and immerses them in a sea of squirmy, silvery halides…."

Total Running Time: 1 Hour, 25 minutes

6 Bucks

Then Laitala will return for the next Friday’s Screening
MARCH 20TH @ ATA- at 8pm

Mar 12, 2009: Vikki Law Reading from Resistance Behind Bars at Babylon Falling at Babylon Falling

Sat, 02/21/2009 - 07:02
Babylon Falling in association with PM Press presents a reading with Vikki Law, author of Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women. In addition to the reading she will also lead a talk and informal discussion with members of Building Bloc. Examining Building Bloc’s Artist Mutual Aid PenPal Project as a model, the talk will focus on the concept of prisoner-made media as a form of resistance.

Join us here at Babylon Falling for the reading and talk on Thursday, March 12th 2009 at 6pm. The event is wheelchair accessible.

About Vikki Law
Victoria Law is a writer, photographer and mother. After a brief stint as a teenage armed robber, she became involved in prisoner support. In 1995, she became involved with ABC No Rio, a collectively-run arts center on New York’s Lower East Side, serving as Board Treasurer from 1997 to 2002. In 1996, she helped start Books Through Bars-New York City, a group that sends free books to prisoners nationwide. Since 2002, she has worked with women incarcerated nationwide to produce the zine Tenacious: Art and Writings from Women in Prison and has facilitated having incarcerated women’s writings published in Clamor magazine, the website “Women and Prison: A Site for Resistance” and the upcoming anthology Interrupted Lives. In 2003, she began presenting “Don’t Leave Your Friends Behind,” a workshop addressing the specific (and often unacknowledged) needs of parents and children in radical movements. Sometimes with China Martens and sometimes with Jennifer Silverman, she has facilitated discussions in Baltimore, New York City, Providence, Montreal, Minneapolis and Boston.

About Resistance Behind Bars
In 1974, women imprisoned at New York's maximum-security prison at Bedford Hills staged what is known as the August Rebellion. Protesting the brutal beating of a fellow prisoner, the women fought off guards, held seven hostage, and took over sections of the prison. While many have heard of the 1971 Attica prison uprising, the August Rebellion remains relatively unknown. Resistance Behind Bars is determined to challenge and change such oversight. As it examines the daily struggles against appalling prison conditions and injustices, Resistance documents both collective organizing and individual resistance among women incarcerated in the US. Emphasizing women's agency, Resistance seeks to spark further discussion and research into the lives of incarcerated women and galvanize much-needed outside support for their struggles.

About Building Bloc and their Artist Mutual Aid PenPal Project
BuildingBloc is a collective of artists dedicated to using art to explore the social inequalities in our society. Through experimentation, collaboration, and performance, we inform, provoke, and inspire ourselves and our audiences. We aim to spark dialogue, to create and sustain relationships between artists and community organizations, to support existing struggles for social justice, and to erase the boundaries between art and activism. BuildingBloc is rooted in the idea that as artists, we express the dreams, struggles, and questions of our people. The Artist Pen-Pal Mutual Aid Project is an ongoing collaboration with about 160 people currently on the inside in the California prison system that is intended to provide an active channel of communication between artists and artistically minded people behind bars and those on the outside, in the community.

About Babylon Falling
Babylon Falling is a concept-driven independent bookstore with a focus on the spirit of Revolution. In addition to new books, we also carry similarly themed collectible toys, posters, artwork and DVDs, and our own in house clothing line featuring designs submitted by those artists who have exhibited here. The name of the store reflects the owner's Jamaican heritage, where the word Babylon is an all-purpose euphemism for both oppression and those who oppress. The phrase Babylon Falling then, is at once an affirmation and a demand.
Previous shows at Babylon Falling have included Hal Lawrence, Robert Bowen, David Choong Lee, John Felix Arnold III, Emory Douglas, Le Bijoutier, Roger Steffens & Peter Simon, David Ball, buZ blurr, C3, Shawn Mortensen, and most recently local artist David Young.
