A Date with Shirley

Dir. Ken Jacobs. 2025, 48 mins. U.S. Digital. This colorful and cubist record of a Chinatown haircut is the final long-form work by the great avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, who died last October. As with his first film, Orchard Street (1955), made 70 years earlier, A Date with Shirley is a slice of New York City life that transforms urban energy into cinematic spectacle. Three cameras capture the action, one operated by Ken as he is having his Einstein-ian locks shorn, and the others by his children, Aza and Nisi. A loving and poignant family scene, the film is also a dazzling work of art—and a tribute to a fine barber whose phone number is offered in the credits

Carbon Counters

The science of carbon counting is becoming a quintessential knowledge practice that characterizes the age of the climate crisis. From the carbon footprint information on a soda can to the international treaties on carbon credits, we count carbon to design and orient our climate policies. Knowing the accurate amount of carbon emission and absorption, however, is not as easy as it might sound, since counting carbon is heavily affected by contrasting methodologies, competing economic interests, and conflicting cultural standards. The carbon numbers, like all important numbers, are scientific and political at the same time.

Constellations Part 1: Projections

Projection is of primary interest in Constellations, which begins at a defunct 1960’s planetarium in Canada named after Queen Elizabeth II. A planetarium is, put simply, a domed surface upon which to project a representation of the cosmos for entertainment and educational purposes. In its exploration of projection as a both a delivery system for moving images and psychological process of imposing the internal on the external, Constellations follows the history of film projection, visiting La Ciotât, where the Lumière Brothers first projected their films, as well as the Cannes red carpet where tourists pose and imitate the “stars,” and finally, virtual spaces where individual identities and desires play out in ways that are both infinitesimal and infinite
