Description
Join us at the Film-Makers' Cooperative for an in-person screening of 1960s psychedelic shorts on Friday, July 15th, 2022, at 7pm. Curated by Julia Curl.
This 60-minute film compilation highlights some of the most vibrant experimental shorts of the 1960s. Many of these works are abstract, featuring daring interventions etched, painted, or glued onto the surface of the film itself; it includes such classics as Stan Brakhage’s Mothlight—which features real moth wings adhered to a clear trip of film—and ends with Jud Yalkut’s 24-minute masterpiece on Yayoi Kusama.
