Hi Jos and Lisbeth,

I wanted to invite you to a lecture and film presentation that I am doing on
Tuesday, May 9th at the Collective Unconscious 174 Ludlow street, at 9 p.m..
 

I was wondering if you might send the following announcement to your e-mail
list as I thought the intellectual nature of the material might also
interest your constituency.

The Robert Beck Memorial Cinema Presents

May 2000


9 May VISUAL ERGONOMICS
Tonight filmmaker and scientist Warren Neidich (NYC) presents an illustrated
lecture entitled "Visual Ergonomics: Formulating a Model Through Which
Aesthetics and Neurobiology Are Linked," accompanied by several of his films
and videos.  Historical and antihistorical narratives, Neidich's films
(mis-)use uncanny devices, designed as diagnostic tools for exploring brain
infirmities, in order to expose the aesthetic morality encoded in their
mechanism.  From the man himself: " The key to my work is the belief that
through a backward analysis, from the aesthetic object to the brain, film
can inform us on how the mind is constructed."

16 May - WHAT'S MY LINE? (GENEALOGY & CRIME)
To fete the second anniversary of the RBMC we present a special evening of
mysterious events centered around our many (semi-)anonymous founders.  Or
rather, the adoptee's cinema, the RBMC finds all its unsuspecting parents. 
Bring your magnifying glass fellow sleuths as we embark on a fact finding
mission: writers, artists, doctors of quackery and soldiers of silence. 
PLUS! the unveiling of the great RBMC treasure hunt! 

23 May - PICTURE BOOKS FOR ADULTS
While he's in town to show brand-new films at the Walter Reade, Lewis Klahr
(now LA, but always NYC) will drop in the RBMC for a special screening of
his Super-8 serial Picture Books For Adults (83-85), unseen in NYC for over
10 years.  Lewis promises other rare super-8 gems, including a
double-projection film from c. 1982...

30 May - NECROREALIST NIGHTS/NEO-NATAL DAYS
With the invaluable help of Masha Godovannaya, the RBMC presents a program
of short films (unfortunately on video, sorry) by notorious Russian
Necrorealist filmmaker Yevgeniy Yufit.  An "underground" film movement which
sprouted pre-perestroika (1984-5) in Leningrad,  Necrorealist artists
included Yufit, Igor Bezrukov, Yevgeniy Kondratiev, and Konstantin Mitenev. 
Necrorealists apparently "affirmed the life of the body abandoned by the
soul and advocated pure idiocy, uncorrupted by instinct or the subconscious.
Characters thickly plastered with zombie clay enact mass brawls, suicides,
and monosexual erotic acts.  In such strategies it was easy to discern
provocations towards the Soviet myth of social immortality"  Well.  This
event was organized in conjunction with other screenings of Necrorealist
films about town, so keep your eyes peeled.
