Just in time for the next credit crunch and as the main cultural institutions of the country, in panic, join forces with the corporate media to save their culo, POW!POW! POW! arrives once again to the scene as uncompromising and independent as ever.
Appealing to a primal desire of free expression without limits, POW!POW! POW! is, today, one of the few remaining uncensored performance festivals in the US. As major art institutions continue to play it safe and impose their political agendas on the artists, POW! POW! POW! declares, once and for all, total freedom of expression with no limits and no strings attached.
Now an internationally renowned festival, this third edition of the original POW! will bring together an array of local and international multigenerational action artists more willing to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
Designed and run by artists, this year’s festival was irreverently curated by co-founders Alyssa Lee, gal*in_dog aka Guillermo Galindo and Guillermo Gómez Peña.

Join us for a special event with celebrated Canadian musician Melissa Auf der Maur (Hole, Smashing Pumpkins), who will present herHD fantasy film Out Of Our Minds, part of a multidisciplinary conceptual project that includes her 2010 solo album Out Of Our Minds and a new comic book. Described by Auf der Maur as a “blood-and-witches fantasy” about “the hunt for the heart,” the film is a Norse-inspired, music-filled experimental saga without dialogue in which a crashing car opens a gateway to parallel worlds and other time periods. OOOM was conceived and produced by Auf der Maur (who plays the central character), directed by Tony Stone, and features a score by Auf der Maur and Los Angeles psychedelic rockers The Entrance Band. It premiered at Sundance in 2009. “A flamboyant and fantastical new film…A 28-minute rush of stunning images, expressive music and narrative experimentation…A journey through parallel worlds that brings together a Viking heart, a car crash and a bleeding forest for an unforgettable climax, this imaginative mini-epic is proudly self-produced, shot in HD and fueled by solar power” ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts/ London). Colour, HDCAM. 28 minutes.
