The
Flanks
Jug band extraordinaire
Since
2002, the Flanks have been playing in and around New York,
converting everyone within shouting distance to belief
in their all-spit-and-no-polish country jug band stylings.
"The
Flanks are sort of like post-war Blind Willie McTell meets
pre-A Star Is Born Kris Kristofferson meets Jimmie Rodgers
without the tuberculosis. In other words, you don't want
to miss them." -Sarah "Seven Plate"

to ditch the bow ties, but he'll always have a fondness
of funny women. On this night of comedy, MCC will be joined
by some of his favorite funny femmes: Becky & Noelle,
Desiree Burch, Pat Candaras, Nancy Giles, Rachael Parenta,
Jennie Smith, and Becky Yamamoto as "Rosie Mc Davis."

Pirates Vs. Ninjas (film premiere)
featuring Death Comes For the Archbishop
Ninja
battles pirate - who wins? One of history's enduring questions
is finally put to rest with the premier of "Pirates
Vs. Ninjas," a short action film in which the millennia-old
feud between two warlike peoples explodes onto the streets
of modern-day Manhattan. Death Comes for the Archbishop,
the local indie rock power trio who scored the film, perform
after the screening.
"I
listened to [the Death Comes for the Archbishop demo]
a few times this morning. The second time through the
first track ["Can't Draw a Spiral] I said to myself,
'Hey, I like this.'" -Robert Christgau, The
Dean of American Rock Critics

Award
winning Cinema Series
Andy Mann: Street Tapes and Cable Access
Presented by Aurora Picture
Show
From
his Portapak-captured video verité of 1960s and
70s New York to moments of cable access brilliance in
Houston, Texas, Andy Mann (1949-2001) left behind a rich
videotape legacy. In honor of Mann on what would have
been his 56th birthday, we invite you to celebrate one
of early video's most innovative and resourceful artists
through a screening of rarely seen works including recently
transferred open reel 1/2 inch tapes from the early 1970s.
"There
is no question that Andy Mann was one of the seminal figures
in the early video scene, in particular for his remarkable
'street tapes' which continued and amplified a tradition
in film history marked by such works as Helen Leavitt’s
In the Street." -Gene Youngblood, author,
Expanded Cinema
