Unfurling a charming and provocative strand of North American cinema, tonight's program will feature works that evoke Kuchar's cinematic brilliance in their subject matter and in their celebration of the body; in their color palettes and in their use of video transitions and effects; in their transgressions and in their fun; and in their sincerity and cinephilia as well. Work to screen includes: Sissy Boy Slap Party (Guy Maddin, Canada, 1995); Eat My Makeup! (Marie Losier, USA, 2005); Electrocute Your Stars (Marie Losier, USA, 2005); Diablo en la Piel (Ximena Cuevas, Mexico, 1998); Ask the Insects (Steve Reinke, Canada, 2005); & I, A Director (Rachel Manera, USA, 2006) Curated by Lisa Danker of the UWM Film Department, From the Supernatural Shadows of Hollywood and Here is the concluding program in this season's Cinematic Excursions with George Kuchar series, presented by the UWM Film Department, the UWM Union Theatre, and Woodland Pattern Book Center.
