Where have they come from, these people who remember their mill and factory towns with awe and humor and gratitude? They come from everywhere: Boise, Macon, Louisville, Providence. Eugene, Chicago, Tallahassee, Flint. We meet in bookstores and libraries in tribal recognition, we children of the great American post-war middle class, offspring of well-paid laborers who made the products that Americans lined up to buy.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) presented the Regulatory Determination on drilling muds, produced water and associated wastes to Congress on June 30,1988. One conclusion was regulatory gaps were present in some State oil and gas programs that compromised environmental protection. EPA believes they have authority under Subtitle D to fill these gaps. However, the Subtitle D type waste management guidelines, as being formulated by EPA to regulate mining operations and municipal landfills, are not viable or cost effective when applied to Oil and Gas Industry (0GI) operations. The existing drilling waste management practices used by the OGI in a number of State oil and gas programs though are viable and cost effective to ensure environmental protection. These existing practices as discussed in this paper can be implemented in applicable State programs to fill regulatory gaps.

Isadora's Children
May 10, 4:30 p.m. (canceled)
Isadora Duncan's two young children, Patrick and Deidre, died in France in 1913, and the famous dancer never completely healed from this loss. She choreographed a dance entitled Mother, a tender reflection on her relationship with her children. French filmmaker Damien Manivel has used Duncan's concept to create a delicate fictional tale about art's ability to convey emotion and heal. The film comprises three interconnected stories, each focusing on a ballerina's discipline and rigor, but also conveying emotions to strangers in the audience. (Damien Manivel, 2019, subtitles, 84 minutes)
Restoration: Distant Journey
Introduced by Lukáš Přibyl; Discussion with Gabriel Paletz and Lukaš Přibyl follows
May 17, 4:00 p.m. (canceled)
Distant Journey (Daleka cesta) follows a Jewish doctor, Hana, who falls in love and marries a gentile named Toník. Their love story becomes a nightmare when Hana's family is transported to Theresienstadt (Terezín) and struggles to survive. Although director Alfréd Radok was only half Jewish, he lost much of his family in the Holocaust and was himself imprisoned in a camp near Wrocław, Poland. He began production on Distant Journey, his first film, soon after the war ended, shooting a large portion on location in Terezín, where both his father and grandfather had been killed. By the time Radok finished, the communists had taken over postwar Czechoslovakia, ushering in an era of censorship, and the film was subsequently banned for four decades. (Alfréd Radok, 1949, subtitles, 108 minutes) Presented in association with the Washington Jewish Film Festival.
The Oak
Washington, DC, premiere of the restoration
June 6, 2:00 p.m.
After the fall of communism in Romania in 1989, Pintilie returned to Bucharest and became director of national film production for the Ministry of Culture. The Oak, his first film after returning home, follows Nela, a young schoolteacher, after the death of her father, an official with the country's secret police. On an uneasy odyssey through Romania, she carries his ashes in a Nescafe jar. After many surreal moments depicting the end of Nicolae Ceauşescu's regime, Nela meets a doctor named Mitica. His anti-authoritarian nature makes them instantaneous comrades in arms, but a sequence of surprises works against them, and for a while, nothing seems to go right. (1992, subtitles, 105 minutes)
An Unforgettable Summer
June 6, 4:30 p.m.
Based on a short story by Petre Dumitriu, An Unforgettable Summer is set in the 1920s in a region that has been part of both Romania and Bulgaria. When the film opens, a young military officer (Dumitriu himself, played by Claudiu Bleont) is about to attend a ball with his wife Marie-Therese (Kristin Scott Thomas). After his wife resists the advances of a superior officer, this stylish cosmopolitan family is relocated to a dreary and desolate post along the Bulgarian/Romanian border, where the couple's marriage and, indeed, their lives are at stake. (1994, subtitles, 35mm, 81 minutes)
Niki and Flo
June 7, 5:00 p.m.
Retired army officer Niki Ardelean lives in a small Bucharest apartment with his ailing wife Poucha, his daughter Angela, and Angela's new husband Eugen. Angela is pregnant, but Niki's excitement is dulled by the fact that the young couple is planning to leave for the United States. He's torn between his wish to see his daughter happy and a desire to have her nearby. Meanwhile, Eugen's father Flo, a domestic tyrant of sorts, slowly exerts his control over Niki. (2003, subtitles, 35mm, 100 minutes)
The City Without Jews
June 20, 2:30 p.m.
The City Without Jews (Die Stadt ohne Juden) was once considered lost, but this reconstructed version was released in 2019. The film is an adaptation of the 1922 The City Without Jews: A Novel of Our Time by Austrian writer Hugo Bettauer, a work now considered prophetic with respect to the Holocaust. Set in early 1920s Vienna, the film depicts a population feeling loss and looming social instability, aggravated by inflation and unemployment. The people are demanding the purging of Jews from the city. Newly commissioned score by Austrian composer Olga Neuworth. (Hans Karl Breslauer, 1924, subtitles, 80 minutes)
The Paper Bridge
June 20, 4:30 p.m.
Ruth Beckermann, a widely admired master of the film essay genre, constructs works that are at once personal and political. Her first-person narrative The Paper Bridge (Die Papierene Brücke) is a journey through family history and an attempt to reclaim remnants of Jewish life in regions of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. On a trip from Vienna to Romania, she visits the sites where her grandmother hid from the Nazis and the place of her father's birth. Survivors of the Holocaust, Beckermann's parents met in Vienna after the war, and her film is in part a meditation on her own identity as a Jewish woman in postwar Austria. (Ruth Beckermann, 1987, subtitles, 95 minutes)
The Seventh Continent
June 21, 5:15 p.m.
Michael Haneke's debut feature foretells the artistry of his later masterworks. Based on a news story that the director read by chance, The Seventh Continent follows three years in the lives of an average middle-class Austrian family disillusioned by the emptiness and dull routines of their days. Husband Georg, wife Anna, and daughter Eva decide to discover for themselves the nirvana suggested by an Australian tourism poster they pass each day. Typical for Haneke's work, the conclusion is both shocking and redemptive. (Michael Haneke, 1989, 35 mm, subtitles, 111 minutes)
Notes on Film 02
June 27, noon
The influence of Austria's lively avant-garde scene is evident in Notes on Film 02, as Norbert Pfaffenbichler combines structural filmmaking methods with elements of narrative cinema to investigate the theme of variation and repetition. Content from Robert Franks O.K. End Here (1963) comes in the form of random moments from the life of a married couple arranged on an alphanumeric editing model. (Norbert Pfaffenbichler, 2006, subtitles, 96 minutes) This film is presented in association with sixpackfilm, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and presenting Austrian experimental cinema.
"Feng was not satisfied with the font of the subtitles, and he happened to see some of our products at an airport and came to us. After one of our calligraphers wrote the subtitles by hand, we stamped them on blocks, carved them, and printed them on paper. Then based on the printed version, they created the subtitles on the screen," Gu says.

ALTALENA:
1994, 54 min, 2", Color, B/W, Some Hebrew w/English subtitles H,U,G
The startling story of the ship which nearly caused a civil war in the newborn state of Israel. The Altalena sailed in June 1948 from France, carrying over 900 refugees from WWII along with a large amount of arms and ammunition. The arrival of the ship during an Israeli initiated cease-fire in the war of 1948 with neighboring Arab countries posed serious problems: its landing would be a breach of the new government's international commitment and the munitions on board that Israel needed were considered a threat by the opposition for a possible coup d'etat. Directed by Ilana Tsur.
ARABS AND THE WEST: (Part V of The Arab World):
1991, 30 min., 2", Color, U,G.
Bill Moyers hosts a post-Gulf War interview with noted scholar Charles Issawi, who is professor emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton and past officer of the Egyptian Ministry of Finance and the United Nations. Despite the video's title, most of Moyers' questions deal with Islam and Muslims. He asks the standard issue questions, i.e. What do fundamentalists want? Which is the stronger unifying force: being Arab or being Muslim? and so on. Issawi's answers dispel basic false assumptions about Arabs and Muslims, such as the myth that pan-Arabism or pan-Islamism are anti-Western forces sweeping across the Middle East. Overall, however, much is left undiscussed and Moyers' questions are oddly ahistorical . [AGF] Produced by Public Affairs Television.
