Tonight we present the first of two special programs exploring “expanded cinema.”
Outer and Inner Space (Andy Warhol; US, 1955)
“In Outer and Inner Space . . . Warhol combined experimental technology and multiscreen structure with the rigors of the traditional portrait sitting to create a multiple film-and-video portrait of Edie Sedgwick. . . . ‘Outer and inner’ refers not only to the dichotomy between Sedgwick's outer beauty and inner turmoil . . . but it also describes the two very different spaces of representation occupied by the video/television medium and by film” (Callie Angell).
• (33 mins, B&W, 16mm double projection, From MoMA Circulating Film)
Followed by:
Christmas on Earth (Barbara Rubin; US, 1963)
“Hypnotic, vibrant, and shocking”—Brooklyn Rail
Christmas on Earth is a work of sexual tableaux vivants, gay and straight. Consisting of two separate reels projected one inside the other . . . it was originally projected onto the Velvet Underground as they performed during Andy Warhol Up-Tight, an early version of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable events. . . . (It) was one of the ‘60s underground movies responsible for unraveling American censorship laws. Anthology Film Archives
