Our friends Tony and Dan from Megawords got a PEI grant to comepletely take over an old storefront in China Town and hold a month-long series of free events. It was amazing and we were super psyched to be apart of it! This program was put together for a special show at their space and a ridiculous number of people came out on a Tuesday night.


 
 
Program:
“Teenagers” by Kent Lambert 2:00 video. 2004
Why teenagers drink.

“The First Day is the Hardest” by: Brett Neiman 6:00 video. 2006
Built around a recording made by a then 12-year old kid named Derrick Freeman, who made audio tapes while in middle school (circa 1987) to listen to while he slept, in hopes of hypnotizing himself into having what most middle-school aged boys wish for: less acne, less awkwardness, and the girl of his dreams.

“Tape 5925: Amy Goodrow” by: Eileen Maxson 6:00. video. 2002
An asocial college student with a secret submits an audition tape to the Real World.
A transmedia Cindy Sherman for the MySpace generation. - Ed Halter, The Village Voice

“Getting Stonger Everyday” by: Miranda July 8:00. video. 2001
Being lost and found, from moment to moment, and over the course of a lifetime. The spirit realm manifests in lo-tech effects and remembered TV movies.

“Break Dance” by: Martin Brand 6:00. video. 2003
“It was paradise for us. You could take a boy if you liked him and when you were fed up with one of them you took the next one."

“Poor Onan” by: Kyle Harris 6:00. video. 2004
A one-man orgy produced at the intersection of Louis Althusser (famed Marxist icon who strangled his wife) and analingus.

“The Bats” by: Jim Trainor. 16mm on video. 8:00. 1998
Drawn with sharpies on typing paper this animated documentary examines the everyday habits of mating and defecating when growing up as a bat.
 
“Prometheus’ Garden” by: Bruce Bickford. 16mm on video 28:00 1987
Bruce Bickford is arguably the world’s greatest living animator. Having worked for Frank Zappa for over ten years this project was the first that Bickford created with total artistic freedom and one of the few works of his that he actually owns. Made in painstaking detail out of clay for over five years this epic and astoundingly psychedelic masterpiece chronicles the coming of age of humanity. We are extremely excited to show this rare and unbelievable work of animation.
