Dinner and The Avant-Garde

2010-05-04T13:02:00.000-07:00

Win Wear is pleased to announce its inaugural film showcase -- Dinner and the Avant – Garde – an evening of experimental cinema curated by local experimental filmmaker Rett Rogers and generously supported by Denver’s epicurean community.

The screening will survey the diverse aesthetic methodologies of essential avant-garde cinema through the work of its most celebrated artists, including Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner, Phil Solomon, Gunvor Nelson - and more.

The films will explore land-and-dream-scapes, dance and sex, and utilize found footage and chemical manipulation, objective representation and holy abstraction. The program is designed towards sensorial and experiential discovery, academic familiarity is not a qualification for appreciation.

All films will be projected in 16mm (!) by Jacob Barreras, Head Projectionist for the Film Studies Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Preceding the screening will be a three course spring meal using locally sourced ingredients from In Season market paired with beer from our friends at Great Divide brewery.

"Dinner and the Avant-Garde" is the first in Win Wear’s continuing series of events exploring canonical and contemporary Avant-Garde cinema.

Join us for an ethereal evening of art, food, and local culture; a resistance to mainstream cinema’s culture of artificiality, insincerity and artless plutocracy.

The seating will be limited, for reservations and more information contact Rett Rogers at sirstarrett@gmail.com or call 303.887.5157. Vegan and vegetarian meals will be offered, please specify in your reservation request. $15 suggested donation.

2010-04-11T13:50:00.000-07:00

Ladies and gentleman, gather around for the glorious One- Take Super 8 Event!

The resulting films are as diverse as their creators, exploring every genre, form, style and tone. All of the work shown in this program will be projected on the original medium of Super 8.

This year's Denver filmmakers include:

Erika Bopp, Robert Nachman, Melanie Martsolf, Johnny Morehouse, Don Carson, Matt Doyle, Jess Lance, Indi Kirkpatrick, Ian Rawlings, David Thomas, Ben Garst, Scott Banning, Trevr Merchant, Dan Glock, John Hartman, Charles Pankey, Garrett McGaugh

Mortal Lessons: An Evening With David Liban

Join us for the Denver premiere of David Liban's feature documentary;

MORTAL LESSONS

Star Film Center

Thursday, February 26, 2009

7PM

It will appear as if this film is about death and dying, yet really it is about living life. We all die, yet few really deal with this fact in a healthy way. We avoid thinking about our death. Then when death strikes, we are devastated, in part, because we are unprepared. There are those who deal with death day-to-day, and have a healthier relationship with death. This film is about these people.

If we are able to see a death loss as more than grief, misery and suffering, but recognize the opportunity that death provides us, we can live a richer existence. Many of us live much of our lives by just going through the motions and wasting precious time. When we experience the death of a loved one, or you yourself have a terminal diagnosis, you realize that life is precious. Now if we could have this awareness without the tragedy of death, how much richer might our lives be?

This documentary profiles people who share their insights because they either work in the industry of death, end-of-life care, or whom themselves are terminally ill.

The story is told through the experiences of two remarkable women who are facing their own death, with just months to live. They have been battling cancer and represent some of the luckier of the terminally ill patients, in that they are beating the odds and surviving beyond the their life expectancies.

Sponsored by the College of Arts and Media, University of Colorado Denver

Look for the Filmmakers Co-op booth in the lobby!
