On this irrepressibly pagan Halloween eve, creature spirits crawl up to the surface of the skin–so come in costume! Featured is outsider Andrew H. Shirley‘s picaresque Wastedland2, on a trio of animal-costumed graffiti artists who, by animal instinct, migrate from one dystopia to the next, tagging the walls as they inquire into selfhood! Co-hit is Youtube ruler Ernest Ramon‘s “critical-paranoiac” conspiracy-rant on Batman‘s origins, Dark Night Rising. PLUS the epic 16mm ending of Toho‘s 60s Turtle-Monster, Gamera the Invincible. ALSO other Godzilla goofs, a King Kongcameo, and a rare 16mm peek at the ’65 animal-costumer Bremen Town Musicians!Tricky treats amidst scary smoke machines!! $6.66
Other Cinema is a long-standing bastion of experimental film, video, and performance in San Francisco’s Mission District- inspired and sustained by the ongoing practice of fine-art filmmaking, as well as engaged essay and documentary forms and also embraces marginalized genres like “orphan” industrial films, home movies, ethnography, and exploitation, as media-archeological core-samples, and blows against consensus reality and the sterility of museum culture.

Hope this finds you safe, healthy and relatively happy in what has become our immediate reality. The themes of existential confusion, isolation, and collective consciousness are perhaps now more relevant then before. For what it’s worth, I would like to offer you the opportunity to view “Wastedland 2” here online for the first time ever.
Humanity is aligned in this crisis and I am hoping that this unified experience will help breed empathy and ultimately positive forces of change. As we all transition and proceed into the great unknown please know “We are not alone. We have each other.” Wolftits (from the film Wastedland 2).
Big virtual hugs and kisses. All the Best.

Wastedland 2 (32 min/ 2016) In a post apocalyptic land, the remaining inhabitants are the spirit animals of graffiti writers. Three solitary vandals (played by real life graffiti writers- Wolftits, Avoid, and Smells) roam from one graffiti drenched zone to the next following a trail of enigmatic artwork by “UFO 907.” In a never-ending search for beer, weed, and a wall to paint- they seek an answer to their unanimous question of their futility: “what’s the point?!”

Wastedland 2 (32 min/ 2016) En una tierra post apocalíptica, donde los habitantes restantes son los espiritus animales de los escritores de graffiti, tres vándalos solitarios interpretados por los artistas: Wolftits, Avoid y Smells, vagan de una zona empapada de graffiti a otra siguiendo el rastro de la enigmática obra de UFO 907, en una búsqueda interminable de cerveza, hierba y una pared para pintar, intentando encontrar respuesta a su pregunta unánime sobre su inutilidad; “¿cuál es el punto?”
