files/pictures/picture-35.jpg* Saturday, January 29 - Sunday, January 30, 2000. Ontario, Canada.
Cinematheque Ontario will present a series of screening of
animator/filmmaker Stan Brakhage's work. Since 1952, Brakhage has
experimented with manipulating celluloid by directly scratching,
hand-painting, etching and collage on its surface. What makes these works
so exquisite is the precision with which they are made. Brakhage's abstract
films are rewarding viewing for anyone interested in cameraless filmmaking
and experimental animation. On Saturday at 1 pm, Cinemathque will show
Brakhage's DOG STAR MAN: PART IV, EYE MYTH, LOUD VISUAL NOISES and
COUPLING. On Saturday at 3:30 pm, the museum will present ARABIC 9, THE
EGYPTIAN SERIES, BABYLON SERIES and REEL 5. Starting off Sunday's showing
at 1 pm is CHRIST MASS SEX DANCE, followed by CHARTRES SERIES, BLACK ICE,
FIRELOOP and CRICKET REQUIEM. The series will close on Sunday at 3:30 pm
with the presentation of LAST HYMN TO THE NIGHT - NOVALIS, POLITE MADNESS
and BLUE VALUE. All screenings will be held in the Art Gallery of Ontario's
Jackman Hall. Jackman Hall Box Office opens 30 minutes prior to the first
screening of the day. All screenings restricted to individuals 18 years of
age or older (unless otherwise noted). Ticket prices are Members: CA$4.80;
Non-Members: $8.00; Student Members/Seniors: $4.25; Persons under 18 years
of age (all-ages screenings only): $4.80. For more information, consult
