Hi everyone, we hope you come out this Friday for the last underground screening of the semester: three short films by University of Wisconsin professor J.J. Murphy. Murphy spent the 1970s investigating ways to make the most mundane elements of filmmaking into small aesthetic wonders. "Science Fiction" (1979) converts a high school science film into a bewildering sci-fi fantasy. "Sky Blue Water Light Sign" (1972) is probably the loveliest portrayal of a simple nature scene ever captured on film. "Movie Stills" (1977) is a timely memorial to the visual possibilities of Polaroid film as it lingers on the development of its images. (60 minute program)
***************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. 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.
