jacksonville: THE LAST HURRAH PICTURE SHOW
http://thelasthurrahpictureshow.wordpress.com
8:00p.m., 406 chelsea st

 THE FLICKER, BLACK AND WHITE TRYPPS # 3, RAY GUN VIRUS
  The Flicker-Tony Conrad1966 16mm 30min This is a notorious film; it
  moves audiences into some space and time in which they may look around
  and find the movie happening in the room there with them. Much has been
  written about THE FLICKER. It is a library of peculiar visual materials,
  referenced to the frame-pulse at 24 frames per second. WARNING!!! All
  flickering light is potentially hazardous for photogenic epileptics or
  photogenic migraine sufferers Black and White Trypps # 3- Ben Russell
  2007 16mm 8min A shared communion with the followers of LIGHTNING BOLT.
  Ray Gun Virus- Paul Sharits 1966 16mm 14min Although affirming
  projector, projection beam, screen, emulsion, film frame structure,
  etc., this is not an "abstract film"/projector as pistol/time-colored
  pills/yes=no/mental suicide and then, rebirth as self-projection. "…
  just colors and strobe … 'light-color energy patterns (analogies of
  neural transmission systems) generate internal color-time shape and
  allow the viewer to become aware of the electrical-chemical functionings
  of his own nervous system' … It's true." - David Curtis, International
  Times "RAY GUN VIRUS is a work in which no images appear yet one can get
  pure identity on film. … projected film itself makes the viewer aware of
  where he stands. RAY GUN VIRUS is not so-called 'Psychedelic Cinema' but
  even more and goes beyond it through Sharits' bright clarification of
  the media." - Takahiko Iimura, Film Art Exhibition: Fourth Int'l
  Experimental Film Competition, Knokke-Le-Zoute; "Twenty Years of
  American Personal Film" anthology, National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo,
  1966.

http://www.richfilm.de/DL2006.html
21:00, Scala, Friedrichstrasse 112A, Berlin-Mitte, Germany

 SALLY GOLDING • FILM LIVE PERFORMANCE • THURS. 26 JUNE
  With her 16mm triple projections and film perfromances, Sally Golding
  combines photochemical experiments with explorations of the horror movie
  genre, presented as live perfromance. This unique show is a must for
  everbody who loves movies, experimental film or dark underground groove.
  Sally lives and works in Queensland, Australia and is coming to Berlin
  as part of her world tour. In Australia, together with Joel Stern, she
  also organizes the Off-Festival "Otherfilm Festival" in Brisbane, AUS.
  http://www.otherfilm.org/ --*-- Performance Description: Handmade 16mm
  projector extrapolations / performances; chaotic distortions of optical,
  mechanical, and photochemical processes…. Sally's obsessions with film:
  archiving, archeology, and arcana are threaded together to form a
  psychedelic and sculptural cinematic Victoriana vision. --*-- Program:
  Not Still Life ** Face of an Other ** Bloodless Landscape / Johnny's
  Ghost

jacksonville: THE LAST HURRAH PICTURE SHOW
http://thelasthurrahpictureshow.wordpress.com
8:00p.m., 406 chelsea st

 WIZARD PEOPLE DEAR READER
  We close this series with two hits from the pit. Brad Neely's
  mind-boggling narration/interpretation to HARRY POTTER AND THE
  SORCEROR'S STONE and the sounds of FLOOR who played at the pit a time or
  two. Since Floor is no more the songs will be cooked up by Shana David
  and maybe a guest or two who will transform the sounds of the Florida
  swamp from geetar to an amplified and thunderous sounding keyboard.
