Ocularis
presents
The Imagination of Disaster
Galapagos's
award-winning film series! For Susan Sontag,
the imagination of disaster was all about sci-fi
movies and “the peculiar beauties to be
found in wreaking havoc, making a mess.”
No stranger to danger, Ocularis melts down those
metaphors with a rubble-rousing program of film
and video. From Kevin Everson’s split screen
tale of love and loss at the hands of the elements,
to Bobby Abate’s pixilated stream of pornographic
catastrophe, these experiments are all too relevant
in a new age of American anxiety, cold rags
to our hurricane fevers.
Work
to be screened: Searching Ruins on Broadway,
Galveston, For Dead Bodies, Edison Manufacturing
Company, 1900, 52 seconds; From Pompeii to Xenia,
Kevin Everson, 2003, 4 min; Burn, Reynold Reynolds
and Patrick Jolley, 2001, 10 min; American Dreams
#3, Moira Tierney, 2002, 5 min; Come Softly,
Bobby Abate, 1999, 11 min; Rescue Parables,
HalfLifers, 1994, 4 min; Strange Weather, Peggy
Ahwesh and Margie Strosser, 1993, 50 min.

MCC (finally) Has His Way
(with Women)
50% of the proceeds will go to The Nicole duFresne
Memorial Scholarship @ Emerson College*.
Comedian/Performer Michael Cyril Creighton
has always admired the allure of the "funny
female." As a child, during recess, he would
walk around with the lunch mother discussing the
merits of Carol Burnett, Phyllis Diller and the
Ladies of Laugh-In, paying particular attention
to Ruth Buzzi and Joanne Worley. He has spent 2
1/2 decades praying for Mattel to make a Madeline
Kahn Fashion Doll. Feb. 7th he hosts an evening
of comedy, featuring some of his current favorites:
Desiree Burch, Pat Candaras, Claudia Cogan, Michelle
Collins, MEAT, Becky Yamamoto and Erin & Her
Cello.
*Nicole duFresne, an Emerson College Alumni, was
a fearless and ferocious performer who was murdered
last year on the Lower East Side. Emerson has started
a scholarship in her name, which will be given to
a young woman in the performing arts with a distinct
voice and artistic vision. Donations can be made
online at https://www.emerson.edu/alumni/giving/
