Alongside these I'll preview found footage/archival> film highlights created by the Eastern European artists participating> in the workshops I co-led while there, capping off the segment (see> below) with live music accompaniment to a remix of the Soviet> prop-films. All part of OTHERCINEMA's fall series:> > WELCOME TO MARS + SHAW PRELINGER + DAVIS> > "Kook-expert Ken Hollings jets in from London-town for the North> American book-launch of his sub-pop Cult Study of Fifties America, on> the bizarre intersection of cybernetics, behavior modification, atomic> weapons, and UFOs, highlighting how these currents were refracted> through the visual surfaces of popular culture, domestic design, and> suburban living. Responding from the US side, Megan Shaw Prelinger,> representing her own forthcoming book Another Science Fiction:> Advertising the Space Race, recalls the Eisenhower years with a> fascinating flight through a pictorial history of aerospace ads,> retrieved from her own SoMA library. For the third leg of this Cold> War re-visitation, local A/V artist John Davis returns from, yes,> Moldova (formerly part of Romania), with the media-archeological> remains of the very last Soviet newsreels, reflecting on this same> period, but from the other side of the "Iron Curtain"! He screens the> most astonishing agit-prop artifacts, and in fact performs an original> sonic score, to a particularly uncanny iteration of Socialist> Sur-Realism."> > ATA (Artist's Television Access) 992 Valencia (@ 21st). Showtime> 8:30pm, admission $6> > http://www.othercinema.com/> > IN ADDITION:> > The 3rd annual ATA FILM & VIDEO FESTIVAL will screen my 2008 short> film "What for What" on Oct. 4th:> > Saturday 10/4 features Kerry Laitala's "Retrospectroscope," John> Davis' "What for What," Carl Diehl's "Nocturnal Emissions," and Mack> McFarland's "In Search of a Mystic Bartone."
