SPECTRUM OF THE SENSES
\nFriday 15 November 2002, at 6:30pm
\nLondon National Film Theatre NFT3<\/b><\/p>\n

THE ROBERT BECK MEMORIAL CINEMA
\n1. SPECTRUM OF THE SENSES<\/b><\/p>\n

The spectrum of selections includes subterranean science, oneiric eroticism, chemystical experiments, cultural ephemera, exquisite documents of arcane performance, found footage fetishes, abstractions (architectural & luminous), and some gems from our private collections. (Bradley Eros & Brian Frye)<\/p>\n

Keith Sanborn, For the Birds, USA, 2000, 8 min
\n<\/b>Inspired by the 11th century Sufi mystical text \u2018The Conference of the Birds\u2019, which explores transparency and opacity, multiplicity and unity, narrative and insight, the mundane and the ecstatic.<\/p>\n

Bradley Eros & Brian Frye, Brian Frye tells the Legend of Robert Beck, USA, 2002, 3 min
\n<\/b>The story that begat our cinema, with appropriate fanfare.<\/p>\n

Bradley Eros & Marie Losier, Sanitarium Cinema, USA,-France 2002, 7 min
\n<\/b>The legend of the Wilfully Obscure as hallucinated fable.<\/p>\n

Brian Frye, Wormwood\u2019s Dog & Monkey Show, USA, 2001, 12 min
\n<\/b>\u2018Quis cutodiet ipsos custodes? My version of watching the detectives, or playing the reporter at the scene of the crime. Or perhaps just an approximation of habeas corpus?\u2019<\/p>\n

Julie Murray, Micromoth, Ireland-USA, 2000, 6 min
\n<\/b>Trawling the spaces shaped by small dead things among many chambers somewhere between the naked eye and the mansions of molecules.<\/p>\n

Kenji Onisihi, Light Point, Japan, 2001, 9 min
\n<\/b>Exquisite heliotropic fixation, hypnotised by solar-eyes through surges of billowy clouds.<\/p>\n

Jeanne Liotta, Observando el Cielo, USA, 2002, 3 min
\n<\/b>A starry camera roll. Sometimes 2\u00bd minutes actually equals a year.<\/p>\n

Bradley Eros, Aurora Borealis, USA, 2002, 7 min
\n<\/b>Where the lunar moth emerges from industrial rubber & the Milky Way is spun from spider’s silk. An homage to Joseph Cornell.<\/p>\n

Unknown, Bubble Dance, USA, c.1939, 3 min
\n<\/b>Sally Rand\u2019s lighter-than-air dance of the ridiculous & the sublime. The scandal of the Chicago World\u2019s Fair, 1933.<\/p>\n

F.P. Bou\u00e9, Medalla, Switzerland-USA 2002, 3 min
\n<\/b>Documenting a performance by David Medalla, inspired by Genet\u2019s Un Chant d\u2019Amour<\/i>. Condensed occurrences of the erotic and the sacred within one Super 8 roll.<\/p>\n

Glen Fogel, Reflex, USA, 1999, 4 min
\n<\/b>Fractured images, accompanied by a pulsation, create an erotic, claustrophobic space. A veiled Narcissus appears, blurring the internal and external, the intimate, and the invasive.<\/p>\n

Glen Fogel, Endless Obsession, USA, 2000, 5 min
\n<\/b>Through extraction and re-editing, an erotic tension emerges between the young males in Pasolini\u2019s Salo<\/i>, creating an ambiguous and rhythmic narrative for the desires of the viewer.<\/p>\n

Bradley Eros & Jeanne Liotta, Radiant Flesh, USA, 1990, 9 min
\n<\/b>\u2018The golden section\u2019 of the expanded fungus eroticus <\/i>film, where the undulating textures of skin, decay, and regeneration merge. \u2018A fermented vision, both sensual and disturbing, raw and lysergic.\u2019<\/p>\n

Anonymous, \u201cTriple Your Pleasure\u201d, USA, 1940s, 2 min
\n<\/b>A gift. Found in the trash \u2026 but bubbling with more joy than dirt.<\/p>\n

Lee Ellickson & Brian Frye, Robert Beck is Alive and Well and Living in New York City, USA,<\/b> 2000, 3 min
\n<\/b>The late Stuart Sherman performs an homage to our patron saint, and (once revived) enacts an even more opaque ritual.<\/p>\n

Robert Attanasio, Counterfeit Music Video #10: Clearing, USA, 2000, 4 min
\n<\/b>By resisting a literal depiction of the song\u2019s narrative, Clearing <\/i>suggests that the ideal music video may be imageless. It allows the viewer to experience the music with a minimum of visual distraction, and, in asserting this belief, just barely avoids eliminating itself.<\/p>\n
