| film programer User Info... | The Satan Macnuggit Video Collecitve and Shock Corridor Cinema presents: from Toronto THE RECYCLED CINEMA TOUR featuring guest curator Jonathan Culp. No Cinemascope means no Cineplex: the Satan Macnuggit Video Road Show takes the low road, visiting over 40 bars, barns and back rooms from Dawson City, YK to St. John�s, NF in August-November 2003. Come and check out the cutting, slicing and dicing edge of Canadian indie cinema! Thursday, September 11th 9:00 PM @THE FIFTY FIFTY ARTS COLLECTIVE 416 Craigflower Rd. (kitty corner to "chicken on the run") $5 Satan Macnuggit Popular Arts is proud to feature "Recycled Cinema" an innovative two-hour touring programme of subversive animations, crafty lo-fi shorts, and culture jamming collages. At running times ranging from 60 seconds to 18 minutes, and with budgets averaging under $100, these films are healthily REDUCED from the average Hollywood behemoth. They RE-USE old technology like the VHS camcorder and Super 8 film, for fun and economy. And they RECYCLE imagery from mass media in supremely satirical collage pieces that you won't see on the tube any time soon. The 18 films in the programme pit cardboard-box robots against crazed motivational speakers, dyke superheroes against trailer trash transvestites, and dum-dum presidents against humanity. THE PROGRAM * Asterisk means video is available for purchase. Production formats indicated. CANADA�S # 1 AIR GUITARIST SAVES THE DAY * Chris Mills, 2002, 3 minutes, super 8 A hillbilly wins the lottery, a lusty couple is ensured safe sex and an outrageous parking fine is ripped up - all because of rockin� licks. BECOME THE MEDIA Siue Moffat, 2002, 1 minute, Mini DV Activists encourage people to become the media, but an evil private police force shooting and then billboarding the death of a graffiti artist is not what they had in mind. 1,000 PARDONS * Stacy DeWolfe, 2002, 2 minutes, super 8 Casio musician World Provider cavorts through scenic Berlin in his futuristic cowboy uniform. CAPTAIN DO-GOODER IN �HELP THE NEEDY� * Jonathan Culp, 2002, 6 minutes, super 8 CDG is an ineffectual liberal superhero who�s just trying to help, but the proletarians he meets have other ideas. Modern silent slapstick with an anarchic twist. COMPLIANCE CULTURE * Bennett Jones-Philips, 2001, 15 minutes, Betacam An evil motivational speaker gets scarier and more absurd as he goes along. In editing this spew down to it�s essence, Bennett makes something useful out of his day job. WORK * Meesoo Lee, 2001, 1 minute, Mini DV It�s Meesoo vs. the machine. He shows it who�s boss∑ PLASTICMAN AND THE JUSTICE LEAGUE * Jonathan Culp, 2002, 16 minutes, found footage Using educational films, how-to videos, Hollywood chestnuts and news footage, Jonathan disses the post-September 11 �war on terror,� morons trying to pass as leaders, and eye-for-an-eye economics. ATTACK OF THE EVIL MAN ARM * Brenda G & Rose B, 2002, 4 minutes, super 8 A beautiful real-life animation - a grrrl turns herself into a feminist super hero. Music by Bob Wiseman. ROBOTS DON�T WEAR HATS EPISODE ONE * Mare Sheppard, 2000, 15 minutes, Digital 8 Mare uses cardboard boxes as high tech devices in her ultra-cheap sci-fi comedy about a domineering dumpstered Sean-Conneryesque robot. With Mare�s friends acting and a smart and hilarious script. CYCLE SAVER VS. THE BIKE LANE BITCH * Nancy MacDougall, Anne McLeod, Laurie Ward, 2002, 8 minutes, super 8 Cycle Saver meets her nemesis, a clueless driver who just doesn�t understand that bike lanes aren�t for cars. SLICKSTER FIXTER * Lex Vaughn, 2001, 4 minutes, super 8 With a wink and a wiggly hop, Slickster impresses a caf� girl, cracks a lock at the YMCA and miraculously fixes a hair cut gone bad. Winner, 2001 Toronto Art Dyke of the year. MISS EDMONTON TEENBURGER 1983 IN IT�S PARTY TIME * Amy Lockhart, 2000, 15 minutes, Hi 8 A trailer trash transvestite throws a party for bizarre friends and her evil baby. John Waters on crack does not begin to describe the technicolor gross-out riot that ensues. P-GRRRL * Siue Moffat, 2002, 5 minutes, super 8 This claymation caped crusader helps women deal with having a full bladder in foreign countries, places with pay toilets, on the street and on the picket lines. LIFE IS HARD * Meesoo Lee, 2001, 2 minutes, Mini DV A simple camera set up, a design on wall and a funky beat frame Meesoo as he struts to stand still. REBELS RULE * Will Munro, 2002, 5 minutes, super 8 Queer anarchists train for a revolution by throwing molotov cocktails, karate kicking, making out in the streets and wearing arty underwear. Music by the Hidden Cameras. PINK EYED PET * Allyson Mitchell/Lex Vaughn, 2002, 3 minutes, super 8, colour Tells the story of a pet � played by a pussy willow � that was loved too much. It must be placed in a plastic box, never to be handled again∑ 8 SUPER 8 SUPER HEROES * Marc Moscato, 2002, 2 minutes, super 8 Dressed in outrageous costumes and hamming it up, Students for Peace of Eugene, OR march against the war in Afghanistan. These are the real super heroes. STATE OF THE UNION * Marc Adornato, 2002, 10 minutes, found footage When George W. Bush talks, the world listens � and hoots, razzes, pulls down its pants, etc. Marc, on the other hand, lets the footage do the talking. DC �02 as Nuremberg �36, a propos. Plus: Bonus goodies! Total running time: 2 hours Satan Macnuggit Popular Arts has produced and distributed videos, zines and music since 1996. We support grassroots art which is radical in form, content and method. This is our third Video Road Show. "Recycled Cinema" has been assisted by a grant from the Canada Council.

| ziggy User Info... | sounds political. - Mon, 8 Sep 2003 5:34pm | ||
| ziggy User Info... | perhaps in theory but these films do not bash you over the head with lefty discourse; more about tackling inane copyright infringement laws in visual terms. some of the material is visually stunning despite its goal to highlight cultural objects as fodder for artistic material. it may be of interest to remember all ideas are born out of cultural experience and thus borrowed from something that came before. alright then. - Wed, 10 Sep 2003 4:42am | ||

| film programer User Info... | 9/11 need not be political especially when it just happens to be a date on a 30 town tour. - Thu, 11 Sep 2003 3:18pm | ||
