<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Oddball Cinema Soiree with Jennifer Kroot scheduled for October 26th is being <b><i>postponed</i></b>. At this time, the new date of the event has yet to be confirmed. Thank you for your interest, and stay tuned to oddballfilms.blogspot.com for updates. </span></div>

<div style="color: #3a352a; font-size: 12px;">
We are are pleased to announce that local documentarian and director of <em>The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin</em> <b>Jennifer Kroot</b> and her co-director/editor <b>Bill Weber</b> will be joining us at the archive for the next iteration of our Cinema Soiree series, and are thrilled to have provided over five minutes of rare archival material for the film.</div>
</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #3a352a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em>The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin</em> examines the life and work of one of the world’s most beloved storytellers, following his evolution from a conservative son of the Old South into a gay rights pioneer whose novels have inspired millions to claim their own truth. Jennifer Kroot’s documentary about the creator of <em>Tales of the City</em> moves nimbly between playful and poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. With help from his friends (including Neil Gaiman, Laura Linney, Olympia Dukakis, Sir Ian McKellen and Amy Tan), Maupin offers a disarmingly frank look at the journey that took him from the jungles of Vietnam to the bathhouses of 70’s San Francisco to the front line of the American culture war.</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #3a352a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">
On <strong>Thursday, October 26th at 8:00 PM</strong>, Kroot and Weber will be in attendance at Oddball to present our next Cinema Soiree, <em><b>The Making of Maupin: Tales of the Archive</b></em>, an in-depth examination of their archival process, with exclusive commentary, deleted scenes, and plenty of LGBT footage from our collection to provide insight into the writer's cultural context and historical moment.</div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #3a352a; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong>Plus!</strong> The film will be screening for one week only beginning this <strong>Friday, September 22nd</strong> at the Roxie Theater. Jennifer Kroot will attend for opening night, and will be joined by Maupin himself on <strong>Sunday, September 24th at 3:15 PM and 6:00 PM</strong>. See the film first, and then join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how it got made!</div>

Comparing scenes from the finished film with the Oddball sources it draws from, Kroot and Weber will talk about the process of turning archival research into a coherent vision, and how they sought to convey Maupin's unique milieu in their film. <strong>ALSO! </strong>Deleted scenes and film excerpts from San Francisco's gay underground (including <em>A Marriage Manual for Male Homosexuals</em> and much more!) provide context for Armistead's work and world.

<div class="p1" style="color: #222222;">

<br />
<div class="p1">
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Cinema pioneer James Whitney’s film consists entirely of hundreds of constantly moving points of light. Lapis performs such marvelous transformations of positive and negative space, projected color and after-image, similarity and difference, that the viewer cannot help but contemplate the relationships of the unit to the whole, the individual consciousness to the cosmos, of space to time - and not a dry, forced meditation, but a supremely sensual, purely visual dialogue.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Like a single mandala moving within itself, the particles surge around each other in constant metamorphosis, a serene ecstasy of what Jung calls "individuation." For 10 minutes, a succession of beautiful designs grows incredibly, ever more intricate and astounding; sometimes the black background itself becomes the pattern, when paths are shunned by the moving dots. A voluptuous raga soundtrack by Ravi Shankar perfectly matches the film's flow, and helped to make LAPIS one of the most accessible "experimental films" ever made.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The images were all created with handmade cels, and the rotation of more than one of these cels creates some of the movements. John Whitney, his brother had built a pioneer computerized animation set-up—the prototype for the motion-control systems that later made possible such special effects as the "Star Gate" sequence of 2001. James used that set-up to shoot some of his handmade artwork, since it could ensure accuracy of placement and incremental movement.</span><span class="s2" style="font-family: "verdana"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Ecstatic and terrifying in equal parts, Ben Van Meter's psychedelic portrait of the legendary SF </span><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Trips Festival was filmed over two nights at the Longshoremen's Hall in January of 1966. Using (and reusing, and reusing again) only two and a half rolls of film, van Meter barrages his audience with a succession of double and triple exposures that give some sense of the glorious chaos of this very particular moment in time, place, and history.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A documentary encounter with the Diggers, the San Francisco anarchist collective and guerrilla theater troupe. The film offers a verite look at the Haight-Ashbury scene from which the Diggers emerged, and articulates the alternative version of society they were working to build.</span></div>

<div class="p1" style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">More nuanced than your typical scare 'em straight PSA, Robert Mitchum narrates this cautionary tale of the counterculture's underbelly. Featuring scores of hippie burnouts, the film documents the drug scene from San Francisco to New York and London, with the ultimate goal of convincing young delinquents to embrace the "orderly, Protestant way of life." </span></div>

film shorts, clips, fragments and reprocessed sounds. Drawn from his company Oddball Films' 50,000-film archive, this cinematic trek through the auditory

bizarre commercials, Religious propaganda films, campy movie trailers and Italian Spy films
colliding with scenes of sunken jetliners, audio test tones and European
animation.</span><br />

<div class="p1">
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Cinema pioneer James Whitney’s film consists entirely of hundreds of constantly moving points of light. Lapis performs such marvelous transformations of positive and negative space, projected color and after-image, similarity and difference, that the viewer cannot help but contemplate the relationships of the unit to the whole, the individual consciousness to the cosmos, of space to time - and not a dry, forced meditation, but a supremely sensual, purely visual dialogue.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Like a single mandala moving within itself, the particles surge around each other in constant metamorphosis, a serene ecstasy of what Jung calls "individuation." For 10 minutes, a succession of beautiful designs grows incredibly, ever more intricate and astounding; sometimes the black background itself becomes the pattern, when paths are shunned by the moving dots. A voluptuous raga soundtrack by Ravi Shankar perfectly matches the film's flow, and helped to make LAPIS one of the most accessible "experimental films" ever made.</span></span></div>

John Whitney, his brother had built a pioneer computerized animation set-up—the prototype for the motion-control systems that later made possible such special effects as the "Star Gate" sequence of 2001. James used that set-up to shoot some of his handmade artwork, since it could ensure accuracy of placement and incremental movement.</span><span class="s2"> </span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ecstatic and terrifying in equal parts, Ben Van Meter's psychedelic portrait of the legendary SF </span><b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Trips Festival was filmed over two nights at the Longshoremen's Hall in January of 1966. Using (and reusing, and reusing again) only two and a half rolls of film, van Meter barrages his audience with a succession of double and triple exposures that give some sense of the glorious chaos of this very particular moment in time, place, and history.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A documentary encounter with the Diggers, the San Francisco anarchist collective and guerrilla theater troupe. The film offers a verite look at the Haight-Ashbury scene from which the Diggers emerged, and articulates the alternative version of society they were working to build.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">More nuanced than your typical scare 'em straight PSA, Robert Mitchum narrates this cautionary tale of the counterculture's underbelly. Featuring scores of hippie burnouts, the film documents the drug scene from San Francisco to New York and London, with the ultimate goal of convincing young delinquents to embrace the "orderly, Protestant way of life." </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Directed by Noel Black (who went on to direct the cult feature Pretty Poison), Skater Dater has developed a strong following both for its amazing skateboarding and its surf-inspired Davie Allan and the Arrows soundtrack. Skaterdater has your proverbial summer fun all sewn up; sidewalk surfing action, blue Southern California sky, matching racing stripe jackets, blondes on Schwinn Sting-Rays, white jeans, first love, a boss surf rock soundtrack, and a downhill finale. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1966 and nominated for an Academy Award, this no-dialogue short comes off like a SoCal Quadrophenia, as the young protagonist falls for a cutie and struggles to break away from the crowd. Features riders from the Imperial Skateboarding Club out of Torrance, CA.</span><br />

Together with the Noise Pop Film Series, Oddball Films and the San Francisco Media Archive are thrilled to present WHEN I LAY MY BURDEN DOWN, an evening of films by legendary ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. One of America's most significant and indomitable archivists, Lomax exhaustively documented traditional musical performances for seven decades, and the vast collection he left behind has defined our understanding of folk traditions across America and the world. Lomax shot the films in this program between 1937 and 1983, in locales ranging from Haiti to Kentucky, the Mississippi Delta to the Newport Folk Festival. Nathan Salzburg, curator of the Alan Lomax Archive, will be on hand to give a presentation and Q&A session after the screening.</div>

<br />
We’d like to thank everyone for attending our screenings, soirees, and seminars. Our weekly film series has come to a close. In 2017 we will be presenting select events: We will be continuing our seasonal seminars and cinema soirees featuring writers, directors, and curators. Our premiere event, Pop Music Explosion: Film Footage Fantasia on March 16, 2017, is a cinema soiree with Richie Unterberger, author and musicologist. Going forward, these newsletters will be sent out monthly to give you the latest on upcoming events.<br />
<br />
In presenting a new special events series, we are building on an important legacy. What began as an occasional screening from our stock footage archive grew into an award-winning weekly film series. Oddball Films showcased our rare and obscure films and featured international filmmakers and curators, with over 1,000 unique programs, all presented in their original format - 16mm film. We couldn’t be prouder!<br />
<br />
A huge thank you goes out to our chief programmer, Kat Shuchter. She presented truly one-of-a-kind programming at Oddball Films over many successful seasons. Her creative spark and deep digging in our archives invigorated our series with over 200 eclectic and inventive thematic screenings, like <i>Stop Motion Explosion!, Learn Your Lesson, Avant Garde Rarities</i>, and many, many more.<br />
<br />
Along the way we've worked with underground artists and directors like Paul H-O who appeared here at a soiree to discuss his controversial film <i>Guest of Cindy Sherman</i>. We provided famed filmmaker, Carroll Ballard with an original print of his 1975 abstract film <i>Crystallization</i>, and independent director. Nikolai Ursin also received an original print from us of his 1966 meditation on gender <i>Behind Every Good Man</i> for the UCLA Film & Television Archive’s restoration project. As we discovered forgotten or neglected prints for our screenings, we archived these films and programs into our database for future programmers, researchers, and scholars, and ultimately of course, for film audiences everywhere to enjoy them. We’ve enjoyed presenting weekly screenings as an important part of our stock footage business. We are still dedicated to entertaining our screenings audience and we will be presenting exciting events throughout 2017.<br />
<br />
If you’re a filmmaker and use stock footage in your projects, <a href="http://www.oddballfilms.com/search" target="_blank">search our site</a> or contact us directly. See how we provided <a href="http://www.imdb.com/company/co0017048/" target="_blank">important footage</a> to producers like Martin Scorsese and TV programming like <i>The Americans</i>, and how Oddball Films is moving into 2017 as an exceptional resource for filmmakers everywhere. We’re providing the same type of inventive footage we’ve been known to present in our screenings!<br />
<br />
Watch this site and expect to hear from us in future newsletters.<br />
<br />
Have a happy and fun-filled 2017!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oddball Films is taking a little break and will not be having any screenings for the remainder of 2016, so you will have to wait until next year to get your fix of obscure and eclectic cinephemera. Here's hoping your holidays are painless and your feastings are plentiful!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oddball Films presents <b><i>Boozers, Users, and Losers - Vintage Drug and Alcohol Scare Films</i></b>, a program of mind-expanding, terror-intending and hilarity-inducing short 16mm educational films about the dangers of drugs. These classroom classics from the 1950s through the 1980s were meant to scare the pants off the junior-high set but probably encouraged as many to experiment with drugs and alcohol as it discouraged. Watch mice get drunk and drunks flip cars in the teen drunk-driving scare film <b><i>None for the Road</i></b> (1957). Real teens talk about their dalliances with substance abuse in the classroom primer aimed at preteens, <b><i>Drugs: First Decision</i></b> (1978). Melanie and Kathleen are desperate to experiment with drugs in excerpts from <b><i>Degrassi Jr. High - The Experiment</i></b> (1987). As seen on TV, filthy hippies druggies get what's coming to them in <b><i>Dragnet: Little Pusher</i></b> (1969). It may be in Spanish, but you won't miss the message behind the bizarro cartoon <b><i>Sex, Booze, Blues and Those Pills You Use</i></b> (1982). And because it never gets old, the Oddball favorite <b><i>The Cat Who Drank... And Used Too Much</i></b> (1987) will be drunk driving by. Plus! <b><i>Vintage Drug and Alcohol PSAs, Beer Commercials, LSD freakouts</i></b>, the angel dust documentary <b><i>PCP: You Never Know</i></b> (1979) for the early birds and more tripped out cinema - all on 16mm film from our massive stock footage archive!</span><br />

Sample dialogue: Filthy Hippie: “It’s the maid’s day off.” Officer Gannon: “How long you been blowin’ pot, son?” ER Doc: “From diapers to drugs. What’s next, pre-natal goofballs?”</span></span></div>

Watch as teenagers, medical authorities, and law enforcement officials present basic information on PCP ("angel dust” , “Sherman”, “Crystal”) and reveal the dangers of this widely abused drug. Designed for prevention and general information and the female freak-out scene ramps up the danger.With medical advice from Los Angeles’ famed “coroner to the stars” Dr. Thomas Noguchi.</span><br />

Oddball Films presents <b><i>Surrealism in Animation</i></b>, a night of 16mm animated shorts from the 1940s-1980s that delve into the non-narrative world of surrealism and dream logic. Realism is overrated and this program explores the magnitude of creative expression when freed from the constraints of rational and linear structures. Get looney with the Salvador Dali-inspired cartoon <b><i>Dough For the Do-Do</i></b> (1949), a tribute to surrealism starring Porky Pig. Porky also visits a house haunted with leprechauns and is transported to another Dali-esque landscape in Chuck Jones' <b><i>The Wearing of the Grin</i></b> (1951). Brilliant animator Philip Stapp brings us <b><i>A Picture in Your Mind</i></b> (1948), a poignant short influenced by surrealist Yves Tanguy and the war torn landscapes of Europe. NFB director and oscar winning animator Norman McLaren gives us a breathtaking serene and ever-changing and morphing landscape of his own in <b><i>A Phantasy</i></b> (1952). James Gore's <b><i>Sixshortfilms</i></b> (1973) is a stream of consciousness animation of faces warping into demons and birds transforming into telephones to strange and surreal effect. Oddball's all-time favorite cartoon <b><i>Ego </i></b>(1970) is a nightmarescape of sexuality, fascism, consumerism, a naked Mona Lisa and a host of other explosive imagery. Psychedelic animator Vince Collins loses his mind in the eye-popping <b><i>Fantasy</i></b> (1973). The visionary artist Jan Lenica, (among Roman Polanski's biggest influences) gives us a hip animated version of Ionesco's <b><i>Rhinoceros</i></b> (1965) utilizing collage and cut-outs. One naked little boy floats away from his bed and ends up baked in a pie in an adaptation of Maurice Sendak's censored, but much-loved <b><i>In the Night Kitchen</i></b> (1975). Eliot Noyes Jr. creates dreamy animation out of sand in <b><i>Sandman</i></b> (1970). Plus more surprises for the early birds and everything screened on 16mm film from our massive stock footage archive. Let reason go and travel to a world of unbridled imagination.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b style="font-style: italic;">A Picture in Your Mind </b>(Color, 1948)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Sent by the U.S. government as a participant in the Marshall Plan with a specific mission to assist the French in re-gearing their animation studios, brilliant animator Philip Stapp discovered a Europe much-decimated by war, but in further danger of annihilation by nuclear weapons. Returning to the U.S., he produced this alarming-yet-hopeful film, replete with its lonely, Tanguy-inspired landscapes peopled with static figures casting long shadows across charcoal-colored plains. While taking the risk of leaning a bit toward didacticism, Stapp managed to urgently convey the thought that world destruction was not necessarily inevitable, provided that people embrace, rather than reject their cultural and racial differences. ‘Picture’ is a unique document resulting from the sometimes dreamy, sometimes nightmarish vision of the artist in a war-torn land, with the spectre of death hovering ever-so-slightly ahead. - afana.org</span></span><br />

One of the most popular short films ever made, it’s still showing all over the world. As a second- rate crooner sings about the beauties of his lover’s face, his own face morphs into the most surreal shapes and contortions imaginable. The music was written and sung by Maureen McElheron, then slowed to sound like a man’s voice because Plympton was too cheap to hire a male singer. Your Face earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short in 1988.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">This Merrie Melodies short is a stunning animated tribute (and satire) to surrealism. <span style="color: black;">In a background reminiscent of Salvador Dali and Krazy Kat, Porky Pig hunts a "Do-Do Bird" in "Darkest Africa," where he encounters strange creatures and landscape in "Wackyland." The strangest of all is the "last do-do," who turns out not to be the last at all. Directed by Bob Clampett and Friz Feleng with music by the great Carl Stalling and the voice of Mel Blanc.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With its Sunday comics format and flash of baby nudity, Maurice Sendak’s <i>In the Night Kitchen</i> was groundbreaking (and censored!) upon its 1970 publication. Mickey tumbles into the pantry metropolis of the night kitchen, landing in giant bowl of batter for the morning cake. After hours baking is overseen by a trio of Oliver Hardy look-a-likes, who pop him in the oven. Freely referencing Windsor McKay’s <i>Little Nemo,</i>Sendak enhanced his standing as cool uncle to generations of kids.<i> </i>Animator Oldrich Haberle brings the book’s bold illustrations to vivid life. Angelo Michajlov's Kitchen Sink-o-Pators provide the appropriately swinging score.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oddball Films presents <b><i>The Spectre of Fascism - Echoes from Totalitarianism</i></b>, a program of international 16mm short films, documentaries and animation reflecting on the 20th century's history of fascism and it's repercussions both artistic and humanitarian. With subversive stop-motion animation from Poland and the former Czechoslovakia, dark allegories of political conformity and rebellion, Alain Resnais' definitive Holocaust documentary short, and even Don@ld Duck as a Nazi, it is a powerful night giving testament to the power of the indomitable human spirit in the face of fascism. Alain Resnais’ masterful <b><i>Night and Fog</i></b> (1955) is both horrifying and necessary, combining archival material with meditative footage shot at Auschwitz and Majdanek ten years after the end of World War II. In the process, Resnais reveals the yawning gap between what’s left and what was, challenging the commonplace assumption that we can ever really understand the magnitude of history and its many traumas. From former Nazi-occupied Poland comes Tad Makarczynski's <b><i>The Magician</i></b> (1962), a pied-piperesque allegory of several young boys recruited to be soldiers by a nefarious magician, as well as the dark stop-motion animation rebellion<i style="font-weight: bold;"> Bags </i>AKA<i style="font-weight: bold;"> Worek</i> (1967) directed by Tadeusz Wilcosz. From the former Czechoslovakia we bring you another stop-motion marvel, Jiří Trnka's exquisite parable of totalitarianism and named one of the top five animated films of all-time: <b><i>The Hand</i></b> (1965), banned in its country of origin for decades. In <b><i>De Overkant</i></b> (1966), Belgian filmmaker Herman Wuyts brings us a bleak interpretation of a totalitarian society in which independence equates to death. The dark animated adaptation of Maurice Ogden's <b><i>The Hangman</i></b> (1967) is a chilling vision of the dangers of conformity and a grim metaphor for the horrors of scapegoating and witch-hunts. For a little comic relief (and we'll need it), we bring you Di$ney's Oscar-winning propaganda cartoon <b><i>Der Fuehrer's Face</i></b> (1943) featuring Don@ld Duck in a musical Nazi nightmare. Revisit the dark history of fascist oppression so we shall not be doomed to repeat it in the coming years. Everything screened on 16mm film from our massive stock footage archive.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Alain Resnais’ authoritative Holocaust documentary, produced just ten years after the end of the Second World War, speaks to the myths of historical progress and the unimaginable depths of historical trauma. Combining carefully composed color photography of concentration camp ruins and an array of black and white footage from the archives, and set to an alienating and totally unexpected score by Hanns Eisler, Resnais’ film stands as both horrifying testimony to the nightmares of the past and direct challenge to the viewer to understand their magnitude: all we have are lingering ghosts, dreams of dreams. </span><br />

All people are forced to walk along the walls of the street, never looking at each other or the world beyond the walls. As the hordes shuffle down the street - their hands brushing along the walls but never touching one another - one man dares to run into the middle of the street, where he is promptly gunned down. As more men give their lives for the freedom of choice, the people attempt an uprising, that is quickly and bloodily dispensed with before the masses run back to the relative safety of acquiescence.<br /><b><i><br /></i></b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Jiri Trnka (1912 – 1969) was indisputably one of the greatest animated filmmakers. The brilliant puppet animation Ruka (aka The Hand) is the last film he made before his death in 1969 and reflects Trnka’s own struggle to create art under a totalitarian regime. Made to take advantage of the post-1964 political thaw, The Hand was banned in the wake of the 1968 Soviet invasion, and no wonder: no amount of spin can dilute the moral force of Trnka’s message - or his sly satire of mass popular culture: is it a coincidence that one of the hand’s vehicles of totalitarian control is a television set?</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"> </span><br />

In 1966, four years before his death, Newsday lauded him as "second to Chaplin as a film artist because his work inaugurated a new stage in a medium long dominated by Disney." Trnka, was a 1936 graduate of Prague's School of Arts and Crafts. In 1945 he set up an animation unit with several collaborators at the Prague film studio; they called the unit "Trick Brothers." Trnka specialized in puppet animation, a traditional Czech art form, of which he became the undisputed master. He also created animated cartoons, but it was his puppet animation that made him an internationally recognized artist and the winner of film festival awards at Venice and elsewhere. His films are brilliant, bizarre and meticulously rendered.</span><br />

The film utilizes antique Medical stereoscopic images from the Victorian era, which are simultaneously disturbing and beautiful. My intention was to attempt to reveal universal truths about the overwhelming quality of disease to render us ultimately mute, immobilized within a corporeal shell that has succumbed to imminent forces beyond our control. I also wanted the film to address the myth that dignity is automatically restored upon when facing death. In analyzing the original function of the stereoscopes, I intended to expose their classificatory nature. These anonymous subjects were reduced to paradigms of pathology, embalmed in time within their exterior presence. By rephotographing them on the optical printer and placing them in a mythical home, I was attempting to reanimate these visages to ensnare them or allow them to roam free on the surface of celluloid. Absence transforms to presence as the latent image reveals the manifest content, the slippery territories in between unraveling like the threads joining the crazy quilt that joins images together. An anachronistic Victorian sensibility places the images in a chimerical, historical context that embodies the film with a mind that is paradoxical and alien to our 21st century perspective. The title "Secure the Shadow. ..'Ere the Substance Fade, let nature imitate what nature has made", comes from a 19th century post mortem photographer who advertised his services. This reference speaks about the function of photography of as a democratizing medium that assists in the process of mourning and serves as a physical reminder of loss. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Kerry Laitala is a media archaeologist whose works spans the territories of photography and expanded cinema performances to 3D single channel videos and sculptural installation. Laitala’s work synthesizes ideas and ephemera from the realms of science, history, and technology. An expert in optical printing, D.I.Y practices, such as photogram and hand processing techniques, she utilizes these processes (among others) to re-shape ‘found’ Archival film materials into 16mm & 35mm handcrafted short films that embody and celebrate the phenomenon of motion pictures that made the early cinema going experience awe-inspiring. Inspired by avant-garde filmmakers like Phil Solomon and Paul Sharits, her work conveys a similar connection to the materials, but with a more unhinged sense of decay, and her works oftentimes utilize hybrid strategies. Her multifarious investigations into evolving systems of belief involve installation, photography, para-cinema, performance, kinetic sculpture, and single-channel forms. She studied photography and film at the Massachusetts College of Art and received her Master’s degree in film from the San Francisco Art Institute.</span></span></div>

Recent performances deploy a battery of mobile devices driven by their built-in microphones, reacting instantly with error-prone variations on the notes and sounds they believe they are hearing: a tightly-knit orchestra with inhuman reflexes, resulting in structures which the human performer influences more than controls. Your phone is a musical instrument, and your phone is always listening. Leidecker's solo performances are complimented by extensive live and studio collaborations, including work with Dieter Moebius & Tim Story, Matmos, Fred Frith, John Oswald, Thomas Dimuzio, Huun-Huur-Tu, Sagan and the Freddy McGuire Show. He recently became a full time participant in the culture jamming art collective Negativland, and as of last year inherited the stewardship of their legendary, long-running live mix media collage program Over The Edge on Pacifica KPFA FM in Berkeley. His nearly completed eight hour podcast 'Variations' on the evolution of sampling and collage music in the age of recorded sound was commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Some chimpanzees (the Tiffany Chimps) dressed in human clothing act out a story in which a couple loses their apartment for trying to sneak their child in. The old man chimp and the maid chimp spy the chimp couple trying to raise the baby chimp up through the window. So they try again elsewhere, hiding the baby in their luggage. No one seems to allow children, as they constantly have to hide the baby. The baby chimp keeps lighting firecrackers in the hotel, and moves around in a suit of armor. The family ends up having to leave again, on each other’s shoulders under a big coat.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A heartwarming film from Hungary. A forest ranger relates the story of how he raise an orphaned baby otter, observing and examining its habits. At first the otter is isolated in a pen in the garden, but later he is released and quickly becomes friendly with a litter of puppies, teasing, hiding and romping with them. As summer deepens into autumn and the otter grows older, he becomes less interested in his playmates and more curious about things of his otter’s world. When winter comes, he is fully grown, and swims and plays in the cold springs of the highlands, hunting and fishing for himself. When spring arrives, the mature otter returns to the forest lake and to his own natural environment.</span><br />

Set to the music of Manoochelher Sadeghi, and created during a residency at IBM Whitney balanced science with aesthetics as he experimented with the eccentricities of Islamic architecture creating whirling, exotic flows of computer generated images. Arabesque was one of the first computer generated films that married technology and art is a focused, cinematic manner. Working with his early home-made computerized motion-control set-up, Whitney could produce a variety of innovative designs and metamorphoses of text and still images, which proved very successful in advertising and titling of commercial projects. He also did various commercial assignments including the title design for Hitchcock's feature <i>Vertigo</i> (in association with Saul Bass), and the preparation (in association with Charles Eames) of a seven-screen presentation for the Buckminster Fuller Dome in Moscow.</span></span></div>

Employing computer generated imagery with optically introduced color and flicker effects, Michael Whitney creates a hypnotic, psych-folk audiovisual experience that suggests a secret symbiosis between the digital and the organic as various Persian inflected graphic permutations appear, dissolve and undergo metamorphoses on the screen.

Like a single mandala moving within itself, the particles surge around each other in constant metamorphosis, a serene ecstasy of what Jung calls "individuation." For 10 minutes, a succession of beautiful designs grows incredibly, ever more intricate and astounding; sometimes the black background itself becomes the pattern, when paths are shunned by the moving dots. A voluptuous raga soundtrack by Ravi Shankar perfectly matches the film's flow, and helped to make LAPIS one of the most accessible "experimental films" ever made.</span></span></div>

This animated short consists of simple geometric forms, as thin and flat as playing cards, but so arranged that a sense of perspective is conveyed. The effect is kaleidoscopic, but much more active, forming and re-forming constantly to the music. The koto, a thirteen-stringed Japanese instrument, is played by plucking the strings; the sound has a tinkling effect, synched to the glasslike shapes of the moving designs. Directed by famed Indian animator Ishu Patel with music by Michio Miyagi. </span></span></div>

One of the first computer-generated films, this Jury Prize winner at the Cannes Film Festival and Academy Award Nominee is a satire focusing on the self-indulgence that plagues our ‘hungry’ world, and depicts a man as he continues to eat, and eat, and eat!</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 16.94px;">Oddball Films and curator Kat Shuchter bring you </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.94px;"><b><i>Pre-Code Betty Boopathon!</i></b>, a program of 16mm cartoons from 1930-1934 from the Fleischer Brothers starring the original cartoon sexpot and the most popular female cartoon character of all time: Betty Boop. Dave and Max Fleischer were true animation pioneers; the first to introduce sound in animation and creators of rotoscoping (tracing human movement from film) as well as the originators of Popeye, the first Superman cartoons and more. They also introduced the world to one of its sexiest and most beloved cartoon heroines ever. The Betty Boop cartoons are incredibly imaginative, sexy, surreal, and possess the spirit of the Jazz Age with a kooky and spooky edge. "Born" in 1930 as a dog lady singing in a Bimbo the dog cartoon, Betty eventually evolved over the next few years into not only a human woman but also from an unnamed bit player into the star of dozens of cartoons. In 1934 Betty's appearance changed again - thanks to the Hayes Morality Code - that forced her to raise the bustline on her dress and lower its hemline. Betty fell out of favor in the late 1930s but continues to inspire and amuse over 80 years later. The evening's selections include <b><i>Mysterious Mose</i></b> (1930) one of Betty's earliest incarnations as a dog - who keeps losing her nightgown to a horny ghost; she keeps dropping her top for Bimbo the rag man in <b><i>Any Rags? </i></b>(1931) which was also her final appearance as a dog; </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Betty Boop M.D. </i></b>(1932) where she stars as a sexy snake oil salesman peddling a magic elixir with psychedelic effects; <b><i>Betty Boop's Penthouse</i></b> (1933) where a science experiment goes wrong and Betty captivates a monster with her charms; <b><i>Red Hot Mamma</i></b> (1934), the devil squares off against Betty and gets nothing but the cold shoulder; Betty sings her way into the heart of her Prince Charming (with the help of a risque makeover from her fairy godmother) in <b><i>Poor Cinderella</i></b> (1934); she sings for your vote in <b><i>Betty Boop for President</i></b> (1932); the great Cab Calloway teams up with the Fleischer Brothers and Betty Boop for a double dose of rotoscoped cartoons: <b><i>Old Man of the Mountain</i></b> (1933) and <b><i>Minnie the Moocher</i></b> (1932) including a spooky night of skeletons, ghosts and witches as well as the earliest footage of Calloway ever filmed. Betty hulas her heart out in nothing but a grass skirt and a lei in <b><i>Betty Boop's Bamboo Isle</i></b> (1932) with an authentic soundtrack by the Royal Samoans and rotoscoped hula moves. Betty shows off her flapper moves as she teaches a dance class in <b><i>The Dancing Fool</i></b> (1932). Plus, more 1930s cartoons for the early birds! Everything screened on 16mm film.</span></div>

Betty is living across from Bimbo and Koko's mad science factory where the dog and clown are doing strange experiments in pigmentation of cats. When the pair head to the window to gawk at the lovely Betty watering her flowers, the lab cat heats a mysterious potion that creates a fearsome hulking monster heading straight for Miss Boop. Everyone is shaking in their boots (and the flowers even jump out of their own skin -revealing skeletons for some reason) but Betty stays calm and wins over the monster with her perfume.

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Another Betty and Cab pairing to prove she was the jazz baby for the ages! When you want a strong female lead, authentic jazz soundtracks and hyper-surreal imagery, you need look no further than the Fleischer brothers, and this classic does not disappoint.</span></span></span></div>

Betty's authentic dancing was rotoscoped from performances by native dancers. Rotoscoping was a technique pioneered by the Fleischers in which they would trace the body movements from a human subject onto the animation cell to achieve the most realistic movement and proportion of their cartoon characters.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In honor of Veteran's Day, Oddball Films presents <b><i>Hey Sailor! Antique Naval VD, Training, and Ephemeral Films</i></b>, a program of short films and cartoons from the 1930s-1950s centered on those brave fighting seamen who sailed the seas of yesteryear. We've got VD scare films, awkward enema lessons, Popeye cartoons, sailor chimps, musical numbers, and naked sailors galore, all on original 16mm film from our massive stock footage archive. We're declassifying two homoerotic rarities from the US Navy: dozens of naked sailors go full frontal for their medical exam and a hands on posture lesson in <b><i>Bluejackets Personal Hygiene</i></b> (1943) and get down and dirty in the infirmary with an uncomfortable excerpt of <b><i>Giving an Enema</i></b> (1944). Check your privates, private in the Navy training film <b><i>The Pick-Up</i></b> (1944), starring an unlucky schmuck who picks up a nasty case of the clap just in time for his furlough. More sailors make a sucker's bet on a game of poker and some loose women in <b><i>One a Minute</i></b> (1944). What sailor program would be complete without a <b>Popeye</b> cartoon, and on that note we bring you an original Fleischer brothers short: <b><i>In the Army Now</i></b> (1936) when Popeye and Bluto show off their greatest hits when Olive Oyl declares her love for a man in uniform. Shorty the Chimp dons his sailor cap and heads to the high seas in <b><i>Chimp the Sailor </i></b>(1950). Plus, a boatload of 1940s <b><i>Sailor Soundies</i></b> including <b><i>Heaven Help a Sailor</i></b> and the bizarrely hulatastic <b><i>Little Grass Shack</i></b>, excerpts from <b><i>Swim and Live</i></b> (1944) double projected with <b><i>Vintage Beefcake</i></b> footage and more naval surprises for the early birds!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oddball Films invites you to a unique evening with author and musicologist <b>Richie Unterberger</b> for our <b>Cinema Soiree Series</b>, a monthly soiree featuring visiting authors, filmmakers and curators presenting and sharing cinema insights. Unterberger is back – after two jam-packed previous shows – to present rare film clips of rock performers from around the world - and mostly from non-English speaking countries - from the 1960s through the 1980s including musical rarities from Brigitte Bardot, Nina Hagen, Nico, Kleenex and Shonen Knife. Rock music has long been dominated by performers from North America and the United Kingdom. Tonight, however, Richie Unterberger will open your eyes to an even wider world of rock. Much of the material shown tonight is unavailable on commercial video, and even the clips that are in commercial circulation are rather off the beaten track. Included will be artists from France (<b>Francoise Hardy</b>,<b> France Gall</b> and<b> Brigitte Bardot</b>), Holland (<b>Shocking Blue</b>), Denmark (<b>Savage Rose</b>), Sweden (<b>Tages</b>), Germany (<b>Nico, Can, </b>and<b> Nina Hagen</b>), Uruguay (<b>Los Mockers</b>), Greece (<b>Aphrodite's Child</b>), Switzerland (<b>Kleenex</b>), and beyond. Before the show, we'll be screening groovy 1960s 16mm <b><i>French Scopitones</i></b> from our massive stock footage film archive.</span><br />

One man heads out to the Halloween parade in Greenwich Village dressed like a real dick in the mini-doc <b><i>Halloweenie</i></b> (1986, print courtesy of the Jenni Olson Queer Archive). </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Comic strip Krazy Kat comes back to the big screen to fight off ghosts and other haunts, while his puppy fights with a skeleton in the silly romp <b><i>Krazy Kat in Krazy Spooks</i></b> (1933). Be careful what you wish for, you might just bring back the undead in the classic tale of horror: <b><i>The Monkey's Paw</i></b> (1979). Visit a seance to bring back the ghost of the greatest illusionist of all time in a segment of <b><i>Houdini Never Died </i></b>(1978), narrated by Burgess Meredith. Bud and Lou meet up with Frankenstein's monster, Dracula and the Wolfman for one crazy monster-mash in the ridiculous condensed version of <b><i>Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein</i></b> (1944). </span>With rockin' musical breaks featuring some interpretive-dancing spectres in an Old-West ghost town from John Byner's <b><i>Something Else</i></b> (1970), the dancing witches of Ida Lupino's <b><i>La Strega</i></b> (1962), and <b><i>Stone Cold Dead in the Market</i></b> (1946), a Soundie about justifiable homicide. Plus, a coffin full of Horror Movie Trailers, Sweet Treats, Scary Surprises and more!</span><br />

In addition to his death-defying feats, he was also committed to debunking spiritualism and otherworldly claims. His magic was grounded in the physicality of his acts; they were simply fantastic escapes and illusions, rather than something supernatural. Both sides of Houdini are on display in this fascinating documentary, which contains rarely-seen archival footage of Houdini, narrated by Burgess Meredith. In this excerpt witness the yearly seance held to attempt to conjure the spirit of the infamous Houdini.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein </i></b>(B+W, 1944, condensed version)</span><br />
