Aberration of Light: Dark Chamber Disclosure (2011) Projector Performance by Sandra Gibson, Luis Recoder & Olivia Block August 30 - Friday 6:30 p.m. Aberration of Light: Dark Chamber Disclosure is a live collaborative cinematic work that reflects and refracts the role of projectionist-as-performer in the standard theatrical projection of the 35mm changeover system. Two projectionists and a sound artist perform within the cinema theater to critically unmask the masked cinematic apparatus in a dazzling abstract play of sights and sounds. The dual-projection changeover system in which two identical 35mm projectors alternate back-and-forth in their restorative reassembly of feature-length films provides the theatrical platform and oblique precursor to historical movements in the field of Expanded Cinema. (35mm. 60 min. Not Rated.) Animated Shorts Program from NFB of Canada Various Directors September 6 - Friday - 6:30 p.m. The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has long nurtured the art of animation. In contrast to commercial industries in North America, the NFB encourages diversity and innovation, allowing filmmakers the freedom to explore unconventional techniques and express culturally marginalized points of view. In this evening’s Underground screening, we present 10 of our favorite NFB animated shorts, which include the sand animation The Owl Who Married a Goose, an Oscar-nominated hand-painted short, Wild Life, and Norman McLaren’s famous pixilation, Neighbors. (HD Cam. 98 min. Not Rated: some of the films contain adult themes or content, and may not be suitable for children.) 24 Underground Film Series Tickets: (812) 855-1103
