WE WILL NOT BE MEETING AT THE PANORAMA IN OCTOBER
The October LA 3-D Club Meeting will be held jointly with Lightstruck at the 2220 Arts + Archives in Los Angeles at 2220 Beverly Blvd. The LA 3-D Club meeting portion of the evening will take place from 7-8pm in the lobby of the event space, where LA 3-D Club members will share stereoscopic items with other attendees. Following the meeting, at 8pm in the 2220 theater, Lightstruck will be presenting two 16mm 3-D films by visiting artist Zoe Beloff
Lightstruck has generously offered 20 complimentary screening tickets to the LA 3-D Club. The first twenty LA 3-D Club members to RSVP that they are attending and bringing something to show-and-tell will receive complimentary admission to the screening portion of the evening. Once all 20 RSVPs are claimed, LA 3-D Club members may purchase tickets to attend the films. In order to claim one of the comp tickets you must be a current member in good standing. Additional tickets and tickets for non-members can be purchased HERE
Please Note that a 6pm screening of Zoe Beloff’s films has just been added! You may choose to attend either the 6pm or 8pm show.
The venue is located at 2220 Beverly Blvd in Historic Filipinotown, adjacent to Echo Park and Downtown LA. Parking is at the Praise Christian Fellowship church parking lot, accessible off Roselake Ave. Visitors can park there, and there is generally significant street parking on Beverly, largely unrestricted in the evenings.
About the screening:
Lightstruck is thrilled to present its first-ever artist-in-person program with two haunting and otherworldly 16mm films in stunning 3-D by multimedia artist, filmmaker, author, media archeologist, and educator, Zoe Beloff! Brilliantly blending highly inventive female-driven narratives, pre- and early-cinematic devices, social politics, and a cultivated knowledge of the deeply esoteric, Beloff crafts a singular filmic language which must be physically experienced to be believed. The pair of films in this program excavate forgotten historical records through fictionalized visions of two women discovering and exploring their inner power, despite the forces which attempt to subvert and control them. In Charming Augustine (2005), a woman suffering from hysterical fits in turn-of-the-century Paris unwittingly becomes an asylum sensation. Collaging magic lantern slides, early animation, and live-action psychological accounts, Shadow Land or Light from the Other Side (2000) peers into the life and mind of a spirit medium who displays telekinetic abilities and produces ghostly apparitions while challenging enduring societal expectations.
Employing a literally immersive filmic space, Beloff suggests an alternate cinematic timeline through which she deftly fuses past and present to form something entirely new and remarkable. This is a rare opportunity to experience these two films in their original and most unusual format. Polarized glasses will be provided to all attendees and Zoe Beloff will be present to introduce the program and take questions after!
