GREETINGS my little fireflies.
AS is usual, FIREFLY CINEMA will start off the
outdoor projection season in sympathy with the
Sun on the shortest night of the year: the
summer solstice.
Please join us for the films of Kelly Spivey,
2005 NYFA fellow, and transplant from the Rust
Belt region of Buffalo NY. Filmmaker will be
present, and will spin records along with her
films.
-Poor White Trash Girl: Class Consciousness
-Me Myself and I
-How to Become Something Else
-Fish Under Delancey "If you see something,
say something" inspired this stop-motion,
eavesdropping, dreamlike journey film. The film
also follows the poet and writer Eileen Myles on
parts of the journey."
"...underneath, underground, under the radar, under our skin..."

> THE BUS ON FILM: A FILM FESTIVAL STARRING THE BUS
> About Get on the Bus: watch the trailer here:
> http://www.city-space.org/events/gotb/gotb_trailer.html. Get on the Bus
> will consider the experience, culture, and meaning of our nation's
> least-loved transit mode. Stigmatized as the transit of last resortóthe
> realm of the poor, elderly, and infirmóthe bus nonetheless moves
> millions of people every day. On the cutting edge in some cities,
> marginalized in others, the bus evokes a surprising range of emotions
> for people, planners, cities and artists. Get on the Bus will begin to
> illuminate the world of the bus as a ubiquitous but neglected arena of
> city life. An open call drew submissions from seven countries. Selected
> works are drawn from throughout the US, as well as Canada, Mexico, and
> the UK, and include fine art, documentary photography, lighthearted
> urban interventions, and a range of film and video projects. In addition
> innovative, historic, and artistically modified buses are anticipated to
> be on display at various times during the exhibition. CITY|SPACE is
> working with local transit agencies, including San Francisco MUNI, AC
> Transit, and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and expects to
> collaborate with them on a variety of projects, including the donation
> of buses to the exhibit. Get on the Bus will be on display at Levin
> Brothers Warehouse located at 2255 3rd St, in San Francisco's Dogpatch
> neighborhood. This striking 9000 square-foot renovated warehouse space,
> at the convergence of 3 major bus lines and adjacent to the San
> Francisco's new third street light rail line, has been kindly donated
> for the exhibition by the Martin Building Company, and features a large
> yard that can accommodate several buses. CITY|SPACE will also present an
> evening of bus-related film, in the spirit of Asphalt Shorts,
> CITY|SPACE's popular annual festival of short films about cities and
> urbanism.

> include: The Memory Box by Jane Steuerwald. Within three universal
> themes ñ Loss, Mystery, and Love ñ the filmmaker intercuts archival,
> family, and personal film footage with art songs sung by her mother at
> the 1964 Worlds Fair. The Memory Box uses precious and perfectly
> preserved mementos of family histories to establish connections between
> past and present, music and image, love and loss. Burgeoning Senesce by
> NJCU student Michelle Mumoli of Newark and NJCU student Polina Zaitseva
> of Paterson. Burgeoning Senesce is an experimental narrative short that
> interweaves stop-motion animation, home movie footage, video, and
> photographs to explore notions of womanhood and issues of how time takes
> its toll on womens bodies, hearts, emotions, and minds. In My Bedroom by
> NJCU senior Melissa Polin of Eatontown. A self-portrait executed in
> split-screen, the artist juxtaposes her personality in front of the
> camera with footage of her in the solitude of her bedroom as she goes
> about everyday rituals. The work is simultaneously playful, sensitive,
> and direct. Father Figure by NJCU alumni Nicole McNeill of Jersey City
> is an experimental documentary that explores issues of selective memory
> and confronts family secrets and truths. The film also touches upon how
> camera images can be deceitful. The Forgotten Ones by NJCU alumni
> Stephanie Attar. Derived from a poem by the artist and visualized
> through her exploration of forgotten and abandoned sites in New Jersey,
> The Forgotten Ones is a lyrical piece about loss, alienation, and
> solitude. Family Planning by NJCU alumni Delmira Valladares of Jersey
> City. A twisted fairy tale with dark undertones, Family Planning is
> about a bride who is called upon to be a noble protector. Confined to
> her apartment, the bride engages in ritualistic exercises and dances to
> condition herself for love.
