Heads up SF: tomorrow at 2pm at SFMoMA is a free screening of George Kuchar movies, including rare 16mm preservation prints of MOTEL CAPRI & ONE NIGHT A WEEK from Harvard Film Archive. A fantabulous chance to see these and a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

If you’re near Oakland May 24 and interested in the intersection between theme park rides and experimental film have I got a show for you… shapeshifterscinema.square.site/product/lamf...
The signage for Lamfanti Presents, an event happening May 24th in Oakland called Amusement Ride(s). Schools out for the Summer! Dreams of fun and adventure emerge as children escape the shackles of regimented learning (and parents cope with keeping their offspring occupied). To celebrate, Lamfanti Presents (the sporadic, itinerant presentation series founded by Antonella Bonfanti and Jeff Lambert) is excited to showcase a group of moving image artifacts dedicated to amusement rides, theme parks, and related ephemeral activities. Centered around the late great Tomonari Nishikawa’s 16mm Amusement Ride (2019), the program is designed to thrill and delight. 16mm works by Stan Brakhage and Sophie Michael will be presented alongside other projected surprises to guide you on a temporal journey exploring dark rides, the magic of movement while seated, and the world as amusement park. Strap in and enjoy the ride.

Its been nearly 2 years since Lamfanti Presents presented--that changes May 24. Join us at Shapeshifters in Oakland for a program centered around Tomonari Nishikawa's 16mm gem AMUSEMENT RIDE. Also Brakhage! Dark rides! A ponderous introduction on the intersection of the avant-garde film & rides!

Piqued by two very different time travel movies that opened this week. Both are fun variations on how our past & future get filtered through technology and human relationships. Also NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE and GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN DON'T DIE have long tripartite titles and made me laugh.
