BILL MORRISON’s INCIDENT + CALONICO/ELSHEIMER’s SUDDEN BIRTH +
Bill Morrison, thee Archival Film Artiste of our moment, happens to be a beloved friend of the Other Cinema family, and tonight he’s sharing thee West Coast premiere of his masterful half-hour re-working of rather recent and problematic Chicago Police body-cam footage…with Bill‘s personal video intro shot in the Cursed Collector Cave right right under our floor! Co-billed is Scott Calonico/Skip Elsheimer‘s (A/V Geeks) incredible educational-film de-construction Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sudden Birth. Port Costa‘s Ian Saroka kicks in a hefty excerpt about his discovery of a hidden Slovenian Film Archive, Greetings from Free Forests, while media magician Caspar Stracke‘s Zuse Strip anchors an amazing set of four media-archeological anomalies that also boasts IBM‘s ’53 mainframe promo Piercing the Unknown and Walter Cronkite‘s mid-60s internet prototypes. Our curiosity also leads us to the famous lost-and-found S8 reel shot on the Altamont stage, a disco-fuelled Oscar Mayer weiner industrial, and Justin Rhody‘s massively collaborative Potemkin exquisite corpse! PLUS a Bruce Conner rarity, Standish Lawder‘s legendary Dangling Participle, and free cookies!! $9
