What the F(ilm)?! 4: Quadruple the Cine-insanityPost an Event »
Oddball Films and curator Kat Shuchter present What the F(ilm)?! 4: Quadruple the Cine-insanity an evening of some of the most bizarre, hilarious and insane films from our massive 16mm collection. This time the insanity includes safety lessons from monkey-children, Jesus as a mime, swingin' promotional films and a Busby Berkeley musical number. Monkeying around on your bicycle has never been more deadly than for the 10 chimp-masked children heading to a picnic but not following the rules of the road in the legendary One Got Fat (1963). Jesus is a mime at a circus, alleviating the burdens of his fellow carnies before being crucified as a marionette in Parable (1964). Mel Brooks freaks out over experimental animation in Ernie Pintoff's Oscar winning cartoon The Critic (1963) One housewife can't contain herself once she discovers RIT fabric dye in the swingin' Color for Joy (1962). Children sing longily about cuts of meat o ver foody montages in the pint-sized musicalamity The Eating, Feel Good Movie (1974). Learn how to shoot like the cops when confronted with various deadly scenarios in Shoot, Don't Shoot II (1973) Princess Cruises wants you to know how a cruise can make All The Difference in the World (1970's) and the grandiose narrator is willing to pound it into your head with the help of a staff and clientele in the shortest of short-shorts. And our musical interlude for the evening will be Busby Berkeley's feline frenzy Sittin' on a Backyard Fence from Footlight Parade (1933). It's a great night to lose your mind to 16mm cine-insanity!
