THE NEW VISION CINEMA SERIES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2009
6:30PM, ADMISSION: BY CONTRIBUTION
HAVEN ART GALLERY,
50 BRUCKNER BOULEVARD,
BRONX, NEW YORK.
Continuing in the tradition of the Invisible Film Series, the New Vision Cinema Series presents a broad range of film and videos from an equally-diverse selection of cineastes. Founded in 2000 by Jennifer MacMillan as the Invisible Film Series, the New Vision Cinema Series has endeavored to showcase the talents of some of the finest local (and sometimes, not-so- local) independent film and video talents of the Greater New York City area. Since its inception, the series has shown works of such notables as Stan Brakhage, Mike Kuchar, Nick Zedd, Jennifer Reeves, and Bradley Eros. With the departure of Ms. MacMillan from its fold (a hard act to follow), the series has been under the sole curatorship of its former co-curator, Michael Park.
New Vision is now proud to announce the addition of its newest venue, the Haven Art Gallery in the Bronx!
Showing in this installment:
1. OBAR by Taylor Dunne (12.5 min): to this day, there still are ghost towns
generated in america.
2. THE CITY WAS BORN by Drew and the Medicinal Pen (5 min): innovative
music video that explores further our great american countryside.
3. AIRWAVE: THE CIRCLE OF GNOMES by Sophia Peer (2 min): another
music video that cuts across the countryside at an even-more-frenetic pace.
4. DAME DARCY: A FILM PORTRAIT by Joel Schlemowitz (4.5 min): we slow
the pace back down a bit to examine an experimental portrait of this
lovely figure in the world of the avant garde.
5. THE TEAT BEAT OF SEX, EPISODES 1-4 & 8-11 by Signe Baumane (11 min):
another great new woman of the avant garde (this time, an animator), presents
to you her early exploits into the realm of sex.
6. STICKERS by Daniel Maldonado (16.5 min): another exploration into childhood
exploits, this time of a more-sinister nature.
7. NICE PEOPLE by aka Joey (26.5 min): the sinister side of childhood again
explored, this time from the perspective of parental pressures leading to
bulimia and far worse.
8. PAINLESS by Sridar Ranganath (20.5 min): life's pressures in general can
lead to drastic measures, can't they?
9. THE DROWN: HOMAGE by Amy Leonard (4 min): as a relief from all this
glumness, we present to you this film noir romance set to a rock video.
10. MILIEU by Dmitry Torgovitsky (17 min): and to top off our show, a questionable
romance set amidst modern-day yakuza clans.
