MORRISON + MINAX + GHOSTS +
This celebration of film artifacts—both in collections and “found”–focuses on some half-dozen revered re-mix artistes and a quartet of crucial archives. OC‘s beloved ally Bill (Dawson City) Morrison floats in his sublime raft of cursed-sea-cruise newsreels that serve as sidebar to The Village Detective, his tale of sunken cinema treasure now out in theaters nationally! Editor extraordinaire Scott Calonico dares to deconstruct the police-emergency anomaly Sudden Birth. And Angelo (North by Current) Minax offers up his Stay with Me, wherein Dallas TV anchors from 50 years ago are re-imagined as Proclaimers of Doom. That piece, and Michael Morris‘ uncanny The Night in the Last Branches, are part of the West Coast Premiere of the Ghosts of Lost Futures project that radically re-edits Dallas TV holdings from the year 1970! Also represented are the re-mixes of Curt Heiner, Marwa Benhalim, Lisa McCarty, and Zak Loyd. PLUS Mariam Ghani on the stillborn Afghan film industry, Ian Saroka on the Slovenian cinema safe-house, and Sarah Woods on the Palestinian motion picture legacy.
DOORS OPEN AT 7:30PM FOR THE 8:00PM SHOW. ADMISSION IS $8
