Prometheus Unhinged: The Films of Bruce Bickford
March 13th, 8pm, Brattle Theatre, Cambridge, MA
We are incredibly excited to present, in person, the legendary animator Bruce
Bickford and a program of his films next Tuesday night. His work has to be seen
to be believed, so we will give you a little preview here. By the way, we'll be
projecting the films in their intended formats, including 35mm!
Born in Seattle, WA in 1947, Bruce Bickford first began animating clay at the
age of 17. Upon graduating from high school, he spent three years in the
military, before moving to Los Angeles to find work. In LA, he met Frank Zappa
and formed a six-year long business relationship creating visuals to accompany
Zappa's music live and on video releases. At the end of that partnership,
Bickford returned to his home in Seattle and continues to obsessively make
work, much of it as of yet released. In 2004, a documentary about Bruce's life
and work, entitled Monster Road, was released to much acclaim.

PS. And if you are curious about what we have planned next, we will soon post
info about screenings of Bruce McClure, Nancy Andrews, and the Italian
documentary The Castle. Stay tuned!
