Cineworks is excited to co-present, along w/ DIM Cinema and Twee Death,  a program of films curated by Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa & Brel Froebe from Light Industry in New York City.

Light Industry (NYC) THE SPECULATIVE FRONTIER + JEFFREY ALLPORT + EMPRESS

Experimental film + video inspired by Stan Brakhage’s film The Stars Are Beautiful.
Curated by Brel Froebe and Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa (in attendance).

with musical performances by:

JEFFREY ALLPORT

+

EMPRESS

Inspired by Stan Brakhage’s The Stars Are Beautiful (1974), a sound film that cycles through mythological explanations for the cosmos in dozens of permutations, the curators of this event devised an exploratory text that drew from science fiction, structural anthropology, and deep-space physics. They then approached artists from a wide range of disciplines to create new work in response to this cue, resulting in a series of projects–performances, music, lectures, films, and videos–that navigate across the Speculative Frontier, the boundary between the known and the unknown. Expect to see and hear: transmissions from Apollo 8, unidentified objects,black metal, alchemy, ghosts, gods, cartoons.
