What the F(ilm)?! 13: Cine-Insanity from the ArchivePost an Event »
Oddball Films presents What the F(ilm)?! 13: Cine-Insanity from the Archive, an evening of some of the most bizarre, hilarious and insane films from our massive 16mm collection. This compendium of 16mm madness is too strange to be believed and too baffling to be forgotten. This time around, we've got furry orange aliens, animated tuberculosis germs, circus chimps, sexy frogs, Smokey the Bear as a baby, deep fried delights, donkey baseball and more! Meet Trogmoffy, an orange fuzzy alien from Saturn who has come to Earth to learn proper grammar in the terrifying children's primer The Adventures of Trogmoffy: Rescue on a Strange Planet (1971). Noir and B-movie legend Edgar G. Ulmer brings us a tale of tuberculosis for the kiddies with an animated TB bug in Goodbye Mr. Germ (1940). Baby nudity and cannibal cooks make Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen (1975) one of the most bizarre and beloved children's tales of all time. Zippy the Chimp hits the big top in Small Fry Circus (1956). San Francisco's own radical sexual-awareness ministry the Multi-Media Resource Centers brings us bean bag frogs getting it on in a variety of human sexual positions to the music of Serge Gainsbourg in The Love Toad (1970). Learn all about the deliciously greasy world of Deep Fat Frying (1969). Hopalong Cassidy gives us an adorable peak at the birth of a conservationist icon in Little Smokey: the True Story of America’s Forest Fightin’ Bear (1952). For a mid-century musical break, hit the beach with Aileen Shirley and her all girl big band the Minoco Maids of Melody as they jazz up the shore in their bathing suits in the sexy soundie Jump Fever (1942). For more musical mayhem, we head to Canada for the eye-popping and surreal animated trip that is Brad Caslor's Get a Job (1985). Plus, a double helping of insane newsreels: the boxing bears, playful dolphins and donkey baseball players in Sports Zanies (1940s) and the ridiculous "inventions" for the overly gullible in Fraud by Mail (1944). Plus more surprises in store!
