FILMMAKER KERRY LAITALA WILL BE SCREENING AT ARTIST TELEVISION ACCESS, MARCH 13TH AND MARCH 20TH
Two feature length programs will be screened at Artist Television Access (March 13th & 20th): “Journey from Darkness into the Light”, a show of her creepy older work exclusively on 16mm that will culminate in a rarely performed expanded cinema multi-projector performance: “Little Bassy Velvet”. The next Friday, Laitala will screen several films from the Muse of Cinema Series, three of which will be premieres: “Phantogram”, “Spectrology”, & “Coming Attractions”. The first film in the Muse of Cinema Series entitled: “Muse of Cinema” will be projected as a live projector performance. The 35mm celluloid tribute to early cinema will be raucously sent through an ACME projector from 1923; and let’s hope it doesn’t blow up!! Laitala has a masters degree from the San Francisco Art Institute & studied film and photography at Massachusetts College of Art, and has previously taught film classes at the SF Art Institute, Mass Art and
workshops, for the Filmwerkplaats in Rotterdam, Antimatter Film Festival in Victoria, BC and Otherfilm Festival in Brisbane, Australia.
