Synopsis
In the wake of the lockdown, filmmaker Roger Beebe returns to the road with a program of 16mm multi-projector performances. The program features several newer works ( Lineage (for Norman McLaren) (2019, 4 x 16mm), de rerum natura (2019, 3 x 16mm + video), Home Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry (2021, 4 x 16mm), alongside some of his best-known projector performances (including the seven-projector show-stopping Last Light of a Dying Star (2008/2011)). He will also include a sampling of recent essayistic videos, presented as live-narrated documentaries. These works take on a range of topics from the forbidden pleasures of men crying ( Historia Calamitatum (The Story of My Misfortunes) ) to the racial politics of font choices ( The Comic Sans Video ) and the real spaces of the virtual economy ( Amazonia ).
