8:30 pm, Z-Bar, Bergstr. 2, Berlin-Mitte, Germany
OLIVER WHITEHEAD – FILMS FROM 1967–2007
Directors Lounge Summer Screenings *** Oliver Whitehead from Helsinki,
who recently showed his work in a retrospective at Cartes Flux Festival
in Espoo/Helsinki, comes to Berlin to show his work at Z-Bar. *** Oliver
Whitehead has explored a wide range of fields within arts, such as
drawing, painting, photography, computer imaging, film, video,
installation, and sound – stretching their expressive possibilities, and
without respecting boundaries. He thus may be called a "true media
artist". In his early film work, he was influenced by the uprising
Film-Coop movement in England and the French Nouvelle Vague. He however
stopped making films when coming to Helsinki in 1970, where he since has
worked as artist, and partly at Kuva Academy, the Academy of Fine Arts
in Helsinki. In 1991, he has picked up with film and video again, now
exploring his personal and built surrounding in most unorthodox ways.

8/17
New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives
http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/
7:00 & 9:00, 32 Second Avenue (at Second Street)
THE BEAVER TRILOGY
Dir: Trent Harris. "THE BEAVER TRILOGY is so perfect, so odd, and so
affecting that you feel you're in the presence of a minor miracle or
some strange form of beatitude. THE BEAVER KID documents an encounter
Harris had in 1980, in the alien state of Utah, with a young man who
adores and impersonates Olivia Newton-John. THE BEAVER KID #2 is the
fantastic restaging, a year later, of this poignant and bizarre tale;
unbelievably and gloriously, it stars a young Sean Penn, only months
removed from his early career-making role in FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT
HIGH. In the climactic episode, THE ORKLY KID, shot in 1985, querulous
clown prince Crispin Glover inhabits the coveted title role. THE BEAVER
TRILOGY is almost too good to be true, and much too good to have been
made up." -NEW YORK VIDEO FESTIVAL. "Trent Harris's BEAVER TRILOGY is a
set of three short pieces that culminates in the underground tape-traded
classic THE ORKLY KID… The trilogy as a whole is a stunning and complex
exercise, an elaborate karaoke-upon-karaoke that snaps right into place
with contemporary obsessions with celebrity, fame and media." -Ed
Halter, NEW YORK PRESS.
