    STARK + KUC + VARGA + DON FROM LAKEWOOD +
    Using found family photographs (mostly 35mm slides), Scott Stark cracks open the family archive to generate imaginative and at times illogical narratives. The Last Forever (in collaboration with Polish filmmaker Kamila Kuc) unravels a story of a missing spouse and possible murder, while Underlying Persistent Volumes populates an instructional video for software development with photos of birthday parties, road trips and Christmas rituals. Plus an exercise video and (LIVE!) musical interludes. AND Lori Varga‘s “demo” of Super 8mm Cartridges, Eric Saks/Patrick Tierney‘s pixelvision gem Don From Lakewood, John Warren‘s narcissus, the hunter, the numbness, Ryan Worlsey‘s new doc on Sue-C, Len Lye, and The Blob! *$9
