"From the seemingly dire perspective of our present moment, this hourlong program looks back at the ways in which destruction has been depicted—and predicted—in avant-garde film. These works explore not only the annihilation of the human body, but also the destruction of the medium itself; these films have been burned, scratched, degraded, even buried in a landfill, revealing the destruction which exists beneath the surface of the American way of life." -Julia Curl
