MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS!! guest curator: Peter Burr This month we take a slow cruise into the animated past - soviet future fictions of the 1980s. PEREVAL - Part 1 below, Part 2 in comments section Look how hostile a world could be. A dark abstraction stuck between a sleeping mind and a struggling spirit. Here the plants are poisonous, the weather is harsh, and there is no light without our flickering candle. Hope exists, as it often does, in taking stock in what we once had for a better future. Here we watch that hope unfold. “Somewhere in the murky recesses of childhood memories—of Sunday morning television, mounds of improbably coloured junk food, and inane addictive jingles—lurks Peter Burr, a tech-gnostic agent. His mission: to subjugate the innerspace, chock open the escape hatch, and enable the immoderate two-way flow of synthesised realities. Burr’s green-screen dream is yours too. A television is broadcasting from within you as you watch it; a boiling, aberrant, hysterical fusion of mind and matter, technology and cultural form. Confronting the malaise of too much television, Burr’s diagnosis is also his prescription: more of the same!” ~OtherFilm, Brisbane, Australia Part 1: https://youtube/watch?v=VMqf81U8RoU
