recent stuff:
I got to do an event at Tree of Liminality recently, similar to the old LowLife Vids'n'Vinyl nights back in the day. This one was outdoors with up to 4 projectors throwing stuff on the wall of the building next door while I spun fall-vibe records. It was probably the last tolerably warm night to hang outside in Cedar Rapids (Fri. Oct. 24), and the setting was perfect. We had a great time.
A few days later I curated 2 nights of Halloween-themed movies and short films at CSPS Hall for Midweek Movie Club. Tuesday, Oct. 28, we watched Witching & Bitching (Las Brujas de Zugarramurdi, dir. Alex de la Iglesia, 2013, Spain).
Wednesday, Oct. 29 I played a bunch of experimental and other short films, starting with the Terror! megamix by Ben Rivers, followed by Damon Packard’s The Early 70’s Horror Trailer, Peter Tscherkassky’s Outer Space, an excerpt from The Mascot by Ladislaw Starewicz, Kostnice (Ossuary) by Jan Švankmajer, The Wheel of Torment by Henry-Garon-Ascher collective, a couple of Everything is Terrible! 3min movies, Paul McCarthy's WGG Test, and The Virgin Sacrifice by J.X. Williams. I think I may also be forgetting one. A lot of the shorts came from compilations released by Other Cinema DVD and the "Experiments in Terror" series.
