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.

Berlin, Germany: Directors Lounge
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

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.
