Psychometry Screenings:
Psychometry Artists’ Films, Saturday, February 7, 2009: 9:30 PM at Basso (Köpenicker Strasse 187-188) - Exile and Basso present an evening of haunted videos. Artists include Patty Chang, Nao Bustamante, Mike Kitchell, Aykan Safoglu, Craig Goodman, and Alexandre Estrela
Crash (The Crash of Flight 401), 1978: Sunday, March 01, 2009: 6:00 PM at Exile (Alexandrinenstr 4, HH 3.OG) - This screening brings to the disaster movie connoisseur the other film made about the crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 401. Fresh homemade popcorn will be served to enhance the thrilling movie atmosphere.
Anne McGuire: Adventure Poseidon, The (The Unsinking of My Ship), 2006, Sunday, March 08, 2009: 6:00 PM at Exile (Alexandrinenstr 4, HH 3.OG) - McGuire’s film restructures another Seventies’ ‘disaster flick’ with Ernest Borgnine, The Poseidon Adventure. Her story starts with the ending and ends at the beginning, sending our heroes deeper and deeper away from the rescue they so desperately fight for, bringing the dead back to life, and eventually reversing the tidal wave that threw them into each other’s unlikely company. The action moves forward, but the film is edited in a backtracking sequence that creates a new narrative without otherwise altering the footage.
