Th 8p: The Valerie Project
Join us for a very special presentation of Jaromil Jires’ 1970 coming of age fantasy film VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS, with newly composed live soundtrack by Philadelphia chamber-rock ensemble The Valerie Project. This rarely screened, recently struck 35mm print is a luminous dream narrative laden with vampires, doppelgangers, sinister characters and shimmering maidens. The 10 piece ensemble, culled from members of Espers, Fern Knight, Woodwose, and Fursaxa, provide a sonic crucible through which the film’s folk narrative blossoms and evolves.

aquarius records, arthur magazine, and the dead channels film festival present two mindblowing and ultra rare 'Czech new wave' vampire masterpieces with live-in-the-theater-accompaniment by telemagnetic soundtrackstars SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 and shimmering 10 piece touring ensemble THE VALERIE PROJECT!

THE LAST THEFT (Jiri Barta 1987 21mins)
live soundtrack by SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 (SF/Vancouver)

VALERIE and her WEEK of WONDERS (Jaromil Jires 1970, 73mins)
live soundtrack by the VALERIE PROJECT (PA)

fresh from their success as the hit of the DEAD CHANNELS film festival- where
SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 stunned their audience with their commissioned soundtrack to David Cronenberg's 'Crimes Of The Future'- 1.1.1 will be performing an original soundtrack to Czech master animator Jiri Barta's only live-action film THE LAST THEFT. this short film is a rare and magical work which mixes black humor and dreamy, hand-tinted atmospheres to stunning effect.

Philadelphia musicians THE VALERIE PROJECT bring new life to a forgotten classic of the Czech New Wave: Jaromil Jires' VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS (1970). The film sound goes off and the amps get cranked (do harps need amps?) as a collective of Philly's finest underground musicians take it on the road to pay tribute to this seminal film of the new folk movement.

___________________________________________________________

SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 is the 'tele-ambient dream self' of I AM SPOONBENDER. While IAS is designed for performing in concert halls, SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 frequently heighten the impact of projected images by composing and performing live soundtracks to works by filmmakers such as Derek Jarman, Maya Deren, David Cronenberg, Charles and Ray Eames, Tod Browning, etc, (and perhaps most strangely, has even performed at a private corporate party surrounding a speech by San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom).
SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 is not a side project- rather, it is a fully focused, smaller scale satellite extension of the central IAS concept. while there is some sonic crossover, the group's more challenging, textural, and sound-to-picture aspects are often found in the never-the-same-show-twice SPOONBENDER 1.1.1 . it is even more psychological, 'inner space', and mainstream difficult. it is loved equally by its creators,
CUP and DUSTIN DONALDSON.

Cast: Max von Sydow, Birgitta Valberg, Gunnel Lindblom, Birgitta Pettersson; 1960, 89 mins
Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, THE VIRGIN SPRING is a harrowing tale of faith, revenge, and savagery in medieval Sweden.

Bergman intended FANNY AND ALEXANDER to be his swan song, and it is the legendary filmmaker’s warmest and most autobiographical film, a triumph that combines his trademark melancholy and emotional intensity with immense joyfulness and sensuality.

F 7:30p: Staying Alive
Written/Directed by Sylvester Stallone; Cast: John Travolta, Cynthia Rhodes, (cameo by Sly); 1983, 93 min
We kick off the night strutting our disco buns to John Travolta, reprising his role from SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. Only now, it’s the early-1980’s and disco dancing has mutated into an electro- aerobics scene where slutty spandex, homemade headbands and laser light-shows rule the night! With an unstoppable amount of memorable one-liners, Sylvester Stallone redefines the rock-montage sequence by making an entire sweat-fest in super-slow motion. And to top it all off, the soundtrack is created by his musical genius brother, Frank Stallone. Preceeded by some amazing 80’s trailers.

9:30p: The Wiz
Written by Joel Schumacher; Directed by Sidney Lumet
Ease on down the road to this all-black cast, disco adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic, THE WIZARD OF OZ. Dismissed as a failure upon it’s release, this brave reinterpretation showcases some of the decade’s great stars: Diana Ross sparkles as Dorothy, who dreams of getting out of the black & white ghetto streets; Michael Jackson will blow your mind as the fortune-cookie, advice-giving Scarecrow, while Nipsey Russell will break your heart as the rusted Tin Man. Add to that the almighty Richard Pryor as the Wizard and the magistic Lena Horne as Glinda the Good Witch, you have to wonder why this film didn’t succeed. A must see on the big screen! Preceeded by trailers of other inspirational disco spectacles.

Midnite: The Apple
Written/Directed by Menehm Golan; Containing: Catherine Mary Stewart, George Gilmour, Grace Kennedy, Vladek Sheybal; 1980, 90 min
This mind-melting 1980 sci-fi/musical spectacle is set in the super-distant future of 1994. While many films from the 1970’s and 1980’s have a level of campiness through their failed ambitions, this biblical epic (in content and grandeur) takes the triple-teared cake for it’s aspirations of making the greatest Disco extravaganza ever. Bring everyone you know to this film becasue no one, and I mean no one, will be left unsatisfied! Preceeded by some of the most unbelievable trailers you’ve ever seen.

Two sisters—the sickly, intellectual Ester (Ingrid Thulin) and the sensual, pragmatic Anna (Gunnel Lindblom)—travel by train with Anna’s young son Johan (Jorgen Lindstrom) to a foreign country seemingly on the brink of war. Attempting to cope with their alien surroundings, the sisters resort to their personal vices while vying for Johan’s affection, and in so doing sabotage any hope for a future together. Regarded as one of the most sexually provocative films of its day, THE SILENCE offers a brilliant, disturbing vision of emotional isolation in a suffocating spiritual void.

This is a personal, impressionistic meditation on the Vietnam War and the scars it has left on the bodies, minds, and souls of many soldiers and civilians.

5p, 9:25p: The Last Detail
Directed by Hal Ashby; Cast: Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, Randy Quaid, Clifton James, Carol Kane, Michael Moriarty; 1973, 103 min
Ashby’s laid-back approach perfectly suits this bittersweet, oddly moving road movie about three Navy men and their escapades during an inevitably tragic journey. Based on the novel by Darryl Ponicsan, screenwriter Robert Towne retained the book’s salty language, spurning on Nicholson in a ferociously dazzling star turn.

NOVEMBER 29 DOUBLE FEATURE
