Strange Sinema 57 Anti Art-Dadaesque

Description

Oddball Films presents Strange Sinema 57: Anti Art, a monthly screening of new finds, old gems and offbeat oddities from Oddball Films’ collection of over 50,000 film prints. Tonight we present a
very rare overlapping set of documentaries and short dada works by the most brilliant anti artists of he 20th century. The program is encyclopedic in content, spanning a wide rage of influential anti-establishment artists worldwide. We begin with Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray’s stunning “Anemic Cinema” (1926), a visual cacophony of hypnotic puns, followed by Helmut Herbst’s “An Alphabet of German DADAism” (1968), a comprehensive A-Z examination of dadaists shot in true dadaist style with the cooperation of Hans Richter and Richard Hulsenbeck, featuring sound-artist Kurt Schwitters, satirist George Groz, Max Ernst and more followed by L’Etoile des Mer aka “The Sea Star” (1928) Man Ray’s haunting, dreamlike ode to subconscious sexual desire. We complete our program with Greta Deses’s “Dada”(1967), an astonishing profile of the dada movement featuring live performances, film excerpts, interviews and a live performance reenactment of the groundbreaking Cabaret Voltaire with Jean Arp playing the piano. This film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival and features in-person appearances from Marcel Duchamp, a very rare and eye-opening interview with the legendary Man Ray and much, much more.
