Feb. 19 underground screening

Hello all, this week's underground screening follows up on last Fall's presentation of "Beauty Becomes the Beast" with more films by Ireland's Vivienne Dick. Dick's early films, which were key works in the short-lived No Wave film scene of late-70s New York, draw on that movement's emphasis on raw amateurism while also exhibiting an overt feminist sensibility. We'll be showing three shorts: "Guerillere Talks," "She Had Her Gun All Ready," and "Staten Island."
************************
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. 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.
