Sure, candy is a must-have during the Halloween time of year — but so is queer experimental film!  We here at Periwinkle Cinema are still not sure what has been going “bump” in the night (although we have a few ideas), but we do know that we have a horrifying lineup in store for you this month!  Join us for a night of unbridled terror, served with a side of camp.  Okay, a very, very generous helping of camp.  These films are guaranteed to give you nightmares — or, in the case of the righteous vengeance tale of Riot Ghoul, are guaranteed to be your feminist worst nightmare.  Featuring frightening flicks by many talented Bay Area artists including the legendary Mike Kuchar (in person), this screening is sure to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty of patrons!

Technology broadens the scope and boundaries of the human experience. Takes you places you may be physically unable to go. However, this piece explores the limitations inherent in technology by exposing our flawed dependence on the internet and other connections; found briefly during buffering*.

Avant garde cellist Janel Leppin crosses genre boundaries in her approach with her work and the many musical projects she adds her voice to (O. Ambarchi, K. Malone, E. Kang, Evangelista, Rose Windows, etc.) .  Adapting her sound with electronics Leppin winds through territory showing where she has been in her extensive musical training as well as where she is going.  Her forthcoming solo album brings out her versatile interests where she composes for analog equipment alongside acoustic and electric instruments to create soundscapes interwoven with jagged contemporary jaunts, includes dream pop vocal works, persian classical glimpses and psychedelic reveries.  With her recent release Where is Home on avant jazz label Cuneiform Records by her duo Janel and Anthony this is sure to be an exciting record. Leppin lives in Seattle, Washington where she works with phenomenal figures of the underground music world.  She divides her time touring in her group Janel and Anthony around the world.
