    super 8 militia

    The Super 8 Militia is an organization for those urban guerrilla filmmakers of the Bay Area looking to shoot on the small film gauge. The process of making a movie is a team effort. The members of the militia want to help you achieve your artistic goals. Working on celluloid within a modest budget is always a challenge. We strive to help you meet this challenge of finding the right arsenal for your cinematic needs. Headquartered at ATA, meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30pm. Please contact ata@atasite.org for any questions concerning the telecine process, or if you are interested in transferring your super 8 film.

    Liz Walsh will project her piece over the band Cones during their performance.

    The show continues with live performances by Late Young and Cones

    Late Young

    Late Young never grew up and we’re grateful. Now too late for us all in many ways, they make the best of it with post-industrial garage band cheer and sonic decay with nod to early PiL & strangled punk vocals, suitcases of electronic effects but no keyboards because of Lord of Flies savage neccessity in the downward spiral. – Marc Olmsted of SF’s early 80’s new wave act THE JOB.

    Cones

    “…deep in the forest a call was sounding, and as often as he heard this call, mysteriously thrilling and luring, he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire and the beaten earth around it, and to plunge into the forest, and on and on, he knew not where or why; nor did he wonder where or why, the call sounding imperiously, deep in the forest.”

    Cones are:
    Wendy Farina, Kurt Keppeler, Phillip Dachelet

    New materials and methods make this ever-challenged discipline fresh!
    Mike Rich’s sensuously portrayed figures belie their diffident postures. Richly painted and strikingly psychological, these portraits cut to the heart.

    Josh Pavlick plays complicated games. We learn from Pavlick’s system-based work that to break or bend a rule is inherently political, and therefore always already anticipatd.
