Description
Guest curator Soumyaa Kapil Behrens and Oddball Films present an evening of films filled with passionate duels and screen gods and goddesses of years past. Cuddle up for an intriguing selection that will let you indulge in the visual nature of cinema and desire. Some highlights include coming of age shorts like the classic Skaterdater (1965) winner of the Palm d’Or at Cannes Film Festival in 1966 and The Magic Tree (1970) by Gerald McDermott that weaves an animated folktale of secrets and desire from the Congo. The Fable of He and She (1974) by animator Eliot Noyes Jr. sweetly re-tells the age-old “battle of the sexes” story between the fictional hardimars and mushamels. The Art of Film: Love Goddesses (1968) documents the history and evolution of the female sex symbol in Hollywood with famous faces like Dietrich, Garbo, and the original vamp, Theda Bera. The guys get their turn with 1960’s movie trailers from films like Easy Come, Easy Go (1967) and the James Bond spoof Casino Royale (1967). Jennifer Jones succumbs to the ultimate crime of passion in the heat of the desert in an excerpt from the feature Western, Duel in the Sun (1946) with Brazilian, Mexican and Russian dancing shorts rounding out the night!
