What the F(ilm)?! 6: Cine-Insanity from the ArchivePost an Event »
Oddball Films and curator Kat Shuchter present What the F(ilm)?! 6: Cine-insanity from the Archive an evening of some of the most bizarre, hilarious and insane films from our massive 16mm collection. This time the cine-psychosis includes a pubescent musical with 16-year-old Paula Abdul, baby olympics, giant talking bars of soap and even singing harem dogs! Featuring Junior High School (1978), a hilariously awkward musicalamity featuring a 16 year-old Paula Abdul and a cast of gangly teens and preteens singing and dancing about the "Itty Bitty Titty Committee," wearing a cup in gym class and having a boy-girl party. It is one part toe-tapper, one part gut-cringer and all magic! Not played in it's entirety in over a year, this time you get every magical moment! Did you ever wake up with a 6 foot tall bar of soap telling you about hygiene? No? Well, it's time to let Soapy the Germ Fighter (1951) set you straight on the p ath to cleanliness, even with his homoerotic undertones. Toddlers and babies go for the gold in a strange variety of "sports" events in the Castle Films bizarro newsreel Babes in Sportland (1950s). It wouldn't be a WTF program without some animal insanity and this month, we've got one randy pooch dreaming of a lovely harem of singing bitches in the Jerry Fairbanks Speaking of Animals short In a Harem (1951). And if you are looking to change careers, learn what it takes to make a career out of pantomime in the head-scratching, psychedelic creepfest I Am a Mime (1971). Plus! Bill Plympton's hilarious metamorphic cartoon Your Face (1987) and more surprises in store! (1987)!
