New York, 1962–1964: Underground and Experimental Cinema

By Marcos Ortega on Fri, 15/07/2022 - 02:52

Film at Lincoln Center announces New York, 1962–1964: Underground and Experimental Cinema spotlighting the rise of the New American Cinema, running from July 29–August 4.

1962 to 1964 was a pivotal moment in the evolution of American arts and culture, especially in New York City. These years, crucial to the development of Pop, Minimalism, and performance, saw the emergence of a new generation of radical artists, as well as venues that gave their iconoclastic work a home and a context. Movies, meanwhile, were undergoing a transformation of their own: the rise of a truly independent cinema, of works unencumbered by the medium’s aesthetic conventions and commercial imperatives.

Dates:
Friday, July 29, 2022 (All day) to Thursday, August 4, 2022 (All day)
Venue:
The Film Society of Lincoln Center - New York, United States

Cambridge Film Festival: Mike and George Kuchar

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 16/09/2009 - 05:41
Mike And George Kuchar
Cambridge Picture House
24-25 September 2009
38-39 St Andrew's Street, Cambridge, CB2 3AR
Tickets: £6.60 / £5.70 concessions
Telephone: 0871 704 2050

Cambridge Film Festival will screen a selection of rare, classic films in tribute to the work of George and Mike Kuchar, leading figures in the 1960s US underground film movement, and acknowledged pioneers of the camp/pop aesthetic. The Kuchar Brothers influenced practically all who came after them, from Andy Warhol to John Waters, Guy Madden to Roger Vadim, Atom Egoyan, Wayne Wang and David Lynch. However despite having such high profile fans, the Kuchars remain largely unknown. The programmes include several recent 16mm preservation copies of the Kuchar's early 8mm films.

The 29th Cambridge Film Festival runs from 17 to 27 September 2009.
