Description: For the past two decades media archeologist
Bryan Konefsky has traveled to the far reaches of the
globe collecting unusual examples of visionary cinema and
un-dependent moving image art.
In a very rare public appearance, Bryan Konefsky will
share highlights of his historic media findings with
Albuquerque and the world!!
You will be shocked and amazed by cinema produced for less
than $1,000! Marvel at movies that do not feature Tom
Cruise or Coca Cola! Witness film artists who have the
audacity to thumb their noses at Hollywood’s silver
screen!
Do not miss this program of scandalously produced short,
non-narrative films that do not depend on pyrotechnic
effects or crane shots to tell their stories!
Please note that due to the extreme and disturbing content
in this program it is not recommended for children,
individuals with heart conditions, scurvy, lumbago, or
bursitis.
This event will feature special guests: Laura Neitzel,
executive director of the Dallas Video Festival, Bart
Weiss, festival director of the Dallas Video Festival, and
Chris McNamara, founder of the Media City Festival
(Windsor, Ontario) and board member of the Ann Arbor Film
Festival.
Closeted cinephiles will not want to miss the unusual
raffles and door prizes that will be given away both
evenings!!
Featured will be works by Jeanne Liotta, Oksana Chelelyk,
Ip Yuk Yiu, Chris McNamara, Dan Anderson, David
Blatherwick, Bob Kaputof, Gretchen Hogue, Coleman Miller,
Casandra Jones, Chris Landreth, Andre Silva, Mary Ann
McQuillan, Alfonso Alvarez, Diane Nerwen, Tadasu Tkamine,
George Kuchar, Nik Kern, Courtney Egan, James Johnson,
Leighton Pierce, Jay Rosenblatt, Katja Staub, Nicolas
Provost, Emily Richardson, Gerard Holthuis, Guy Sherwin,

Blood of a Poet and was just published by Destructible
Heart Press.
AND, Chris McNamara/Thinkbox will be perfoming (music)
over 35mm film loops created by Basement Films own Brian
Gillespie.
Then we will all get naked!
