Hello all, this week's screening presents several films from New York's punk/no wave cinema movement. Please note that there is a special start time this week of 8 p.m.
*************************************************
While the punk rock scene in New York City in the 1970s has been widely celebrated and eulogized, the film movement that accompanied it is considerably lesser-known, but no less vital and raw. Though clearly influenced by the French New Wave and the 1960s Underground Cinema, these films are of their own time, documenting the sense of ennui and desperation of the American ‘70s. We will screen several of these energetic and abrasive works.
*************************************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. (unless otherwise indicated) in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.
