THE ELECTRICAL RETROSPECTACLE (#18)

Wednesday / June 11 / 7pm [sharp]

___THE ELECTRICAL RETROSPECTACLE (#18) is a rare screening of 16mm films
from the legendary =8C60s experimental filmaker Scott Bartlett (1941-1981).
Some of Bartlett's pioneering work was created by cinematic distortions of
analog-video-generated material. [curated and presented by Owen Plotkin]

"Visionary--one of America's most celebrated experimental filmmakers.
Pioneer--Bartlett's landmark films Off/On and Moon 1969 are acknowledged as
the earliest expressions of electronic cinema." (Facets)

"A perfect, magical fusion of non-verbal communication and advanced
technological filmmaking" (Amos Vogel)

"There is a pattern in my film work that could be the pattern of a
hundred-thousand movies. It simply is repeat and purify, repeat and
synthesize, abstract, abstract, abstract." -- Scott Bartlett.

Metanomen [1966]
Off/On [1968]
Lovemaking [1970]
Serpent [1971]
1970 [1972]

___KURT RALSKE uses his custom software to create real-time video poems
based on live images of Belgian dancer/choreographer CHANTAL YZERMANS.
The dancer's image converses with computer-rendered images of the dancer.
Dance and image drift in and out of abstraction, simultaneously or in
counterpoint.
