DANDIES, FAILURES & MY FAVORITE HEROES
(stars, asteroids and anti-stars)
From the world’s favorite anti-heroes, George and Mike Kuchar (in Marie
Losier's portraits) to the world's most wondrous dandies, Hans Scheirl and
JJ Stevens, this night is dedicated to performance, failure and the tragic
desire for transient existence. Hollywood spotlights and Warholian fantasies
taint all our minds, yet these artists question both notions of fame and
persona itself, playfully twisting and turning popular cinematic codes,
genre bending, and gender inverting. Sexy slapstick meets Super 8 camera
tricks and inebriated mannequins in these cinematic dreams of failure and
fairy dust.
Marie Losier BIRD BATH & BEYOND (16mm, 12 min, 2003)
Mike Kuchar takes us through the birth canal in this spacey 16mm portrait.
Marie Losier ELECTROCUTE YOUR STARS (16mm, 8 min, 2004)
A psychedelic portrait of the lives and loves of the master of absurdist
rumination, George Kuchar.
Shannon Plumb COMMERCIALS (s8mm/Video, 25 min, 2002)
Each film is 2.5 minutes, sometimes less. I am the performer, the director,
stylist and choreographer. They are silent, black and white, propped,
staged, and performed with a Vaudevillesque style of grace, simplicity and
innovation. (SP)
Matt Wolf, GOLDEN GUMS (video, 13 min, 2002)
Golden Gums probes the inner-workings of an indulged post-adolescent psyche.
A personal story about love, loss and gold painted plaster teeth molds forms
a project about public confession and private performance. (MW)
JJ Stevens NEW SUIT (video, 4 min, 2004)
A tortured monologue of manic, mutated and manipulated mannerisms with
melancholic and touching undertones. (JJS)
Ursula Puerrer and A. Hans Scheirl SUPER 8MM GIRL GAMES (S8, 3 min,1985 )
Cyborg girls scratch and sniff Super 8mm marks.
A. Hans Scheirl EINSSCHLAUCH BOOT & AUSTERN (S8mm, 4 min, 1985)
"For this movie i have edited home-movie footage to go with a song by the
US girl band 'Inflatable Boy-Clams'. my friends, my sisters, my nephew, my
lover all star in this celebration of cyborg life: the flirtation with the
camera is taking center-stage; adornment, dressing-up, posing...
If cinema means 'blowing up the grain of reality', then reality can be
co-created when we become shining stars in whatever moment we find ourselves
in." (AHS)
Guy Maddin SISSY BOY SLAP PARTY (3 min, 1995)
It's irresistible to hit a pretty sissy.
Aran Reo Mann PERFIDERY (video, 12 min, 2003)
A snowy television screen without a signal serves as a magical conduit into
t.v. worlds each one haunted by the same woman. (AM)
