Witness to Wind and War
Film Screening
8pm Saturday, April 21, 2012
At 489 Edgewood
Contraband Cinema presents a series of short films that ponder apocalyptic landscapes – imagined, constructed, abandoned and found. The work of Ruth Dusseault and Kelly Sears will be screened as part of a series of topical events at the new venue 489Edgewood.
On the military line we will view Dusseault’s D-Day Joplin which traverses two landscapes, one constructed by humans for a paintball D-Day reenactment, the other just miles away in tornado devastated Joplin, Missouri. The evening will close with Dusseault’s award-winning 21st & 20th which transforms a junk yard existing on the Enola Gay launch site into a single take moving backdrop for the 1952 nuclear age cartoon Astro Boy.
Once It Started It Could Not End by Sears finds the imprint of a high school disaster through the pages of abandoned yearbooks. Similarly, her Cover Me Alpha takes instructional quotes from military yearbooks to re-caption the activities of toy soldiers in battle. Imprinted combines scotch tape extractions of rapture text and newspaper headlines from the Joplin tornados.
