Hello Current Space gatherers. Are you ready for your September fix of B&T's 16mm movie curation? We've been sweating through splicing tapes putting this one together. It's a good un.
BTW...We are still celebrating the 100th anniversary of 16mm film. Released by Kodak in 1923, it was marketed as a less-expensive (and less-flammable) alternative to big cinema filmmaking. By the mid-sixties, there were nearly a million projectors and countless films in use in the US. 16mm film became a technology for educators, scientists, advertisers, churches, artists and home movie documentarians to create and circulate audio visual media.
Without 16mm you would not be alive.*
We have a great set for you this month, and the show is free, and Current Space is fucking amazing, and there's a bar too. Come.
- Jim Henson's masterwork: Time Piece
- Permutations. another beta wave generating beauty by James Whitney.
- The Fur Coat Club. amazing, educational oddity. Pervs are welcome- touching is allowed
- Lickety Split Licorice. It's the tie that binds a neighborhood.
- Lizzie the Terrible: are 5 year olds even allowed to make films?
Patrick O'Neil's 1968 brain stem stimulator: 7362
- The 30-second dream: a diatribe on American commercialism. Hilarious & painful.
- NASA: a question of life. The space agency goes tiny style on this stylish doc.
- How to dig a hole to the other side of the world. 'nuff said.
