Magic Lantern Cinema Presents:
The ARTIFICIAL NATURE Show
Artificial Depictions of Nature in Motion Pictures
Curated by Acme Video
Wednesday, Nov. 16th
9:30 PM
Cable Car Cinema & Cafe
204 S. Main St.
Providence, RI
Admission $5
Does a squirrel know what a movie is? We at Acme Video wish they did
so they would come in and rent something sometime. It is an absolute
thrill for us to be guest curating a Magic Lantern for which we have dug deep
into our catacombs to bring to light some real cinematic oddities. The idea of
"artificial depictions of nature in the moving pictures"
seems to epitomize a conflict between the world that we actually live in & the
world we choose to create when given the chance. Not to
mention that it is a rather malleable postulate that provides us with a
great excuse to show some pretty weird, often humorous & sometimes
disturbing films you may not have seen before.
The line-up
will include an early Goldilocks adaptation, a long-forgotten fantasy
depicting the lunar adventures of a young boy (and his dog), a
scientific documentary of a tree-dwelling octopus, a surrealistic
slapstick film with a tree that grows cats, experimental animations
of insects and centaurs, as well as other unnatural representations of
animals, camping trips, and underwater cities. Join us!
FEATURING:
Edwin S. Porter, "The Teddy Bears" (1907); Neil McGuire and William A.
O'Connor, "Moonland" (c. 1923-26); Jean Painlevé, “La Pieuvre” (1927),
Charley Bowers, "Now You Tell One" (1926); Winsor McCay, "Bug
Vaudeville" (1921) and "The Centaurs" (1918-21); + more TBA.
TRT: 90 mins
