OUT/EX JULY: CREATING REM LEZAR

2008-07-05T23:54:00.005-06:00

FINALLY, an OUT/EX for the whole family...

This month, Blair Sterrett has handpicked one of the most ridiculous children's movies ever made. Rem Lezar comes straight from the Lost Media Archive to you... That is if you choose to show up. Our July 19th Audience will get an eyeful of blue mullets and bad spandex costumes and an earful of bizarre music. This event will also feature live music by YOUR LITTLE PONY, and a couple of weird snickers commercials, that, along with "Rem Lezar" define the career of one very fine actor...

Here is a synopsis:

Zack gets in trouble during class for daydreaming about a superhero named Rem Lezar, and is sent to the principal's office. After a discussion about his classroom behavior, he storms out upset that no one understands him and that he isn't the problem but that the adults are. Later in art class, Zack sculpts a model of Rem Lezar, of which Ashlee notices and has also dreamed about and has drawn a picture of. Ashlee is the first person to believe that Rem Lezar is more than imaginary, but she will not speak to Zack as long as he keeps up his sexist attitude. The two decide to bring Rem Lezar to life. That day, the two obtain a male mannequin, though by what means is not explained, and dress it up like Rem Lezar. Rem Lezar hears their desires and comes to life most unexpectedly. He can live but one single day unless they find the Quixiotic Medallion, which has the power to keep Rem alive. The fear-mongering face, Vorock, tells them it is hidden at the height of imagination and that some never find it in the course of their entire lifetime. The three must search for the medallion, but do not know where to look. Zack believes that it would be at the top of the Twin Towers, whereas Ashlee believes it to be in the mountains. They search both locations with no luck, only to discover that the highest point of imagination is love.

... WE PROMISE THAT IF YOU LIKED TURKISH STAR WARS, THE STAR WARS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL, OUR ABOMINIBLE SELF-HELP VIDEOS AND ALL THE OTHER WIERD STUFF WE HAVE SHOWN YOU AT OUT/EX.... YOU'LL HATE THIS!... ACTUALLY, YOU'LL LOVE TO HATE IT... YOU'LL LOVE IT. ...We love it. …and so will you.

This event is free!

The Ending of LMA's "Outside Music Show" on Live365.com

2008-05-01T01:50:00.003-06:00

Lost Media Archive announces the ending of its "Outsider Music" internet radio show on Live365.

It's been a good few years giving this collection a presence online, and I'm thankful for all the people who wrote and submitted material for this program. As far as I know this has been the only radio in the world dedicated completely to Outsider/Incorrect Music, since in the death of Incorrect Music @ WFMU, and The Outsider Music Hour on KWCR.

The main reason the show is being taken down is due to a lack of $$$ this year.

The show will be completely off the air after May 2. So enjoy it while it lasts! Listen in for free @ http://www.live365.com/stations/bcsterrett

With sadness and regret,

Blair Sterrett (LMA Director)

ADD OIL---TURKISH STAR WARS

2008-02-09T02:50:00.000-07:00

FEB 16th at 7:30 PM
at No Brow Coffee and Tea

OUT/EX

the monthly OUT/EX film series (SLC's only experimental/fringe/avant-garde film series) continues with a special
screening of...

TURKISH STAR WARS

one of the most legendary international STAR WARS rip-off films of all time!

the film will be projected in it's entirety.

In Turkish.

No Subtitles.

...but don't worry, this incredibly OUTSIDER and BIZARRE film will be augmented by the improvisational and
atmospheric sounds of ADD OIL, an SLC based noise-jazz combo that fuses sax, drums, synth, and prerecorded
soundscapes into the aural equivalent on Iron Pyrite.

THERE IS NO NO

2008-01-07T23:25:00.000-07:00

FILM EVENT: THERE IS NO NO

THE PROBLEM:
As the Sundance Film Festival descends on Park City, and parts of Salt Lake City, cineastes, art-film aficionados, and local filmmakers comb through festival guides to separate the "Indie-esque" studio films and the sure-to-be-sold-to-a-major-studio films from the films they really want to see... the ones that will never come to Utah again... The true "fringe" films, the one-of-a-kind art films, experimental films and avant-garde wonders that bear no commercial potential, but are beautiful and unique and stunning in their vision... Of course, these are few and far between, and one normally has to sit through about ten or eleven bad films at Sundance to discover that one gem of experimental cinema.

OUR SOLUTION:
Attend the January screening of OUT/EX!
OUT/EX is a local film series devoted to all genres of fringe filmmaking. Each month we hand-select film and video works that would, quite literally, never be shown in any local theatres. On January the 19th, OUT/EX presents THERE IS NO NO, a collection of experimental films from the Free Form Film Festival (see freeformfilm.org). This stunning selection of experimental shorts is as good that of any film festival and we invite YOU to escape your Sundance woes by attending this FREE, LOCAL, and INSPIRING exhibit of true experimental genius from around the world.

Local filmakers Jan Andrews and Tyrone Davies will be in attendance.

HOLY YULE: Santa in a Strange Land

2007-12-04T23:06:00.003-07:00

This may well be the most insane OUT/EX show yet!

The December edition or OUT/EX will take place at No Brow Coffee and Tea on Saturday the 22nd at 7pm. This video show, "HOLY YULE: Santa in a Strange Land", will highlight some of the most bizarre Christmas media ever created! This night's holiday treats will include politically incorrect jems like the "Santa Claus Punch and Judy Show", corporate promotional disasters like the "Star Wars Holiday Special", kiddie matinee abortions like "Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny", and public access anomalies like "Miss Velma's Christmas Special" ...and that's not the HALF of it!

This diverse sampling of kitsch and ephemera is curated by the Lost Media Archive. The show is also FREE! Bring friends! Bring family! Bring a yule log!

Program information below
------------
Odds and Ends is proud to present an evening of eclectic and
electrifying films and videos from Stacey Steers, Grace Carter and Holly
Andres, John Bacone, Alec Cohen, Jeremy Bird, Vanessa Renwick and more!
This selection combines elements from Odds and Ends Volumes 1 and 2 plus
a few new treats, a truly worthy evening of entertainment if there ever
was one.

1. No One Touches the Floor (2006) video
John Bacone (PDX)
-----“’No One Touches the Floor’ by John Bacone uses a simple
equation—Swimming + Flying + Time Control = AWESOME!”
Christine S. Blystone (PORTLAND MERCURY)
John Bacone is a sculptor and filmmaker living in Portland, OR.
Currently working with two dance companies, Polaris Dance Theater and
a-wol Dance Collective, as set/sound designer, and videographer; he also
carves frames for the work painted by elephants and dolphins at the
Indianapolis Zoo.

2. The Birthday, 8 min.
by Stephen Slappe
-----The Birthday depicts the reproduction of human life through scientific
experimentation. The video was created using appropriated animation,
x-rays and microscopic photography culled from 16mm educational films.
The Birthday usurps the intent of the source material with the help of a
haunting score of electronic improvisations by Rob Walmart.
Stephen Slappe is a multidisciplinary artist working in Portland, Oregon.

3. Spheres 1 min
By Jeremy Bird
-----JEREMY BIRD is a videomaker and video editor in Portland, Oregon. His
short videos are said to harmonize sound and picture into a series of
engaging instants. He has edited music videos, feature films,
commercials, and has created projections for live music and dance
performance. His latest short, "Spheres", has screened at moving-image
festivals around the world.
www.jeremybird.net

4. I got shot with a bullet, video 16 min.
by Alec Cohen
----Years after being accidentally shot in downtown Manhattan, Alec Cohen
has retreated to Portland, OR to escape the danger of his past. Now,
equipped with $50 and some newfound courage, Alec and his near-silent,
12-year old best friend Raymond are on a quest to buy a gun. I Got Shot
with a Bullet investigates Pop-Culture American Manhood and its
relationship to violence. It's also funny.
Alec is one of the founding members of Sandymontana, a Portland based
director's collective. He is from Long Island, NY and is inspired by
nonsense and important social issues.
www.sandymontana.com

5. Neuro-Economy
----Created by Jill Kennedy
“Neuro Economy” is a short animated film to a real audio recording found
on a telephone answering machine.
Set in a composite domestic setting of both past and present a recorded
message starts to play back on a telephone answering machine in the
living room. An anonymous caller from 21 years ago describes himself.
The caller goes on to explain a Neuro Economy and details his plans for
a Quantum Computer Emulator. The message continues to diverge further
and further from reality. Animated graphics sourced from learning
material of the 1960’s and 70’s begin to appear, eventually taking over
the living room as we glimpse a cross section of reality as perceived by
the anonymous caller.
Jill Kennedy was born 1981 in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1982 her family
moved to Auckland, New Zealand. She has been living in Auckland where
she has recently graduated from a Graduate Diploma in Design studying at
Unitec Institute of Technology.
Prior to this, she completed a Bachelor of Design majoring in Fine Art
Painting in 2002 at Unitec Institute of Technology. She has been
involved in several group shows exhibiting work at Enjoy Gallery in
Wellington, Snow White Gallery and Room 401 in Auckland.
After the completion of the course, Jill moved back to Glasgow. She
spent time traveling Europe and returned to study animation in 2006. She
completed a Graduate Diploma in Design and spent the last four months of
her course completing her first animated short film “Neuro Economy”.
Recently, she has collaborated on work with the New Zealand Painter Mark
Braunias. She completed an animation of Mark’s drawings which showed at
the Jonathan Smart Gallery in August 2007. She is currently working on a
new piece with Mark, which will be on show at the opening of the new
Tauranga Art Gallery in October 2007.

6. Tidal Wave 1.5 min
----by Salise Hughes
One man’s nightmares take physical taking the form of each and every
figure in the crowd.
Born January 11th 1955 in Tacoma Washington. Studied visual art at
Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and the San Francisco Art
Institute. Artworks included in Microsoft and Seattle Arts Commission
collections. Visiting drawing instructor at Cornish College of the Arts
from 1991-93. Began making films as a self-taught filmmaker in 2005.
Lives in Seattle.

7. God Provides, video 9 min
----by Brian Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky
Shot in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and bound by
elements of fiction, this unexpected documentary short is a glimpse into
faith-based sentiment and inexplicable loss in the American South. While
a man searches for his kitchen appliances in the bushes, elsewhere a
grinning preacher takes souvenir snapshots for his congregation, and a
woman with a disability journeys to a quieter place.
Brian M. Cassidy (b. 1977, Poughkeepsie, USA) and Melanie Shatzky (b.
1976, Montreal, Canada) met in 2004 in New York City and shortly
thereafter began collaborating on both narrative and documentary films.
The duo have shown their work at the Sundance Film Festival, the
Rotterdam International Film Festival, Silverdocs, South by Southwest
(SXSW), the Kunsthalle Wien, and the European Media Art Festival (EMAF).
Their short fiction, The Delaware Project, was nominated for a Tiger
Award at Rotterdam, and won the 2007 EMAF Award at the European Media
Art Festival. They were recently profiled in Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New
Faces of Independent Film.
Cassidy and Shatzky’s work often forgoes conventional storytelling
methods in order to accommodate stark imagery, elusive characters, a
deadpan realism, and has been described by Glenn Kenny of Premiere
Magazine as “cogent and sickly surreal”. In 2005, they founded their
production company, Pigeon Projects, which continues to develop and
evolve as an outlet for their personal work as well as a commercial
studio. Both Cassidy and Shatzky hold MFAs in Photography, Video &
Related Media from the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

8. The Journal of John Magillicutty 2006 dv [2:20]
“Strenuous but an intermission...”
---- Michael Paulus (PDX)
Michael Paulus is an artist living in Portland Oregon. The marriage of
science and art play prominently in his work, often times creating
objects that are inherently misguided or dysfunctional in design. A
parody of types on the sometimes absolute efficiency and logic that we
come to expect from tools and technology.
The figures in his moving image work are usually ‘specimens’ to be
observed and usually find themselves in absurd situations they are ill
adept to comprehend.
In his static work often times there is an interchange between object
and viewer. Sometimes testing the perceptions of the viewer and often
times using an established medium or tool/design and tweaking it a bit
to put it in a critical context
www.michaelpaulus.com

9. The Places left in passing 2.5
----by Kiri Hargie
an animated movie about the inbetween spaces, both physical and mental,
that are left behind after the passing of a loved one.
In Memory of Martha Hargie
Live, love, learn, create, leave ripples, go man go! Whether automatic
writing, sculpting, animating, photographing, drawing, or moshing media
interactively mixed media artist Kiri Hargie collages the minutiae of
the extraordinary ordinary. A consummate world lover, she one day wishes
to drive around the world in an ice cream truck collecting stories and art.
www.hargie.com

10. Nora
----by Grace Carter and Holly Andres
An afternoon encounter between two lovers plays out in an unusual
fashion as issues of power, domination and gender reversal are explored.
Holly Andres approaches her art in a multidisciplinary manner, and works
in film, photography, sculpture and installation. In collaboration with
performer/filmmaker Grace Carter, Andres created the short films
DANDELION, BRAVE NEW GIRL and their newest narrative, NORA. Their work
has been featured in the NW Film + Video Festival, Best of the Northwest
Touring Program, the Portland International Film Festival, the Portland
Experimental Film Festival, the Oregon Biennial at the Portland Art
Museum and the Perpetual Art Machine in New York. Andres teaches video
production and foundation art classes at PSU and the Art Institute of
Portland.
www.hollyandres.com
Grace Carter has been working in theatre arts and filmmaking for the
past six years in Portland, OR. She Co-founded the critically acclaimed
defunct theatre and collaborated as a producer, director and actor on
several stage performances. Grace’s films have been screened at several

Festival, The PDX Fest and the Oregon Biennial at the Portland Art
Museum. Grace has also worked as an actor on many film projects the most
recent “Paranoid Park,” a new feature by Gus Van Sant.

11. Phantom Canyon 10 min.
----Stacey Steers
Stacey Steers lives in Boulder, Colorado where she teaches for the Film
Studies Program at the University of Colorado. Her labor-intensive films
are composed of thousands of individual, handmade works on paper. Her
animations have screened worldwide and won national and international

over 4000 hand-made collages incorporating the figures from Eadweard
Muybridge’s Human and Animal Locomotion, first published in 1887.

12. 9 is a secret
----By Vanessa Renwick, video 6 minutes 2002
score by Donovan Skirvin
"Renwick recounts a sad time in her life, when a friend was dying and
she suddenly became aware of the presence of crows. The dark birds in
turn point her to the practice of counting crows, which is both a
children's rhyming game and a form of divination in which the number of
crows suggests events in the future. Eight crows auger death: nine crows
reference a secret. Renwick combines these fragments with glimpses of
imagery- a bed, the crows captures as silhouettes, a man's twisted body
- to craft a lyrical and moving essay that works its magic through
poetic accretion rather than narrative logic."

-Holly Willis, L.A. Weekly

Vanessa Renwick
Founder and janitor of the Oregon Department of Kick Ass
A filmmaker by nature, not by stress of research. She puts scholars to
rout by solving through Nature's teaching problems that have fretted
their trained minds. Her iconoclastic work reflects an interest in
place, relationships between bodies and landscapes, and all sorts of
borders. Working in experimental and poetic documentary forms, she
produces films, videos and installations that explore the possibility of
hope in contemporary society. She is a naturalist, born, not made : a
true barefoot, cinematic rabblerouser, of grand physique, calm pulse and
a magnetism that demands the most profound attention.

----Liz Haley

day silent meditation retreat.
Liz Haley, born in 1972 the youngest of six children, was raised with
community and escape as equally strong and polar influences. Haley has
used video, photography, audio, installation and performance to explore
concepts including the weather, physics, love, progress and other
vulnerabilities of humanity. Her work has been exhibited in New York,
San Francisco and Miami at the Museum of Contemporary Art. As part of
her work, she is an independent curator and in 2005, co-founded a
performance, cafe and exhibition space called Valentines in Portland,

TERRIBLE-TERRIFIC/TERRIBLE-HORROR
Curated by the lost media archive, this collection of extremely weird horror clips celebrates film made by outsiders... That is to say, film made by ANYONE BUT film industry insiders. As with any of our OUTSIDER programs, this show is garunteed to leave audiences asking "what were they thinking?!". Even better, it's a sociology, psycology, and media-archeology lesson!

ELiZA WREN - live score to Return to Oz (1985)
Preview!
It has been over 15 years since two stoned college
students realized that watching MGM’s Wizard of Oz
while listening to Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon
revealed hidden connections and meanings that Pink
Floyd possibly didn’t even intend. The world was
changed forever. And now, Eliza Wren invites you to
make a new discovery. In 1985, Disney released a
brilliant, visually inventive, experimental sequel to
MGMs classic Technicolor musical. We all have some
sort of twisted memory of seeing this film- with the
Wheelers, a hall of heads without bodies, A young
Fairuza Balk as Dorothy trapped in a mental hospital,
a flying couch with a moose head to guide it and so
much more! Revisit this overlooked masterpiece with
the original music of Eliza Wren, (dream/nightmare
rock w/ an array of instruments from the banjo to the
toy piano. Synchronicity never sounded so good! 5
years in the making! Come see the sneak preview for
this amazing show! www.elizawren.com

AUGUST is turning out to be a very busy month for Loaf-i, the Free Form Film Festival, and the Lost Media Archive. Starting tomorrow and continuing for the next three weeks we have set up three truly exceptional events that we hope you can all make it out to. Here they are:

EVENT #1 (SAT AUG 11)
--------------------------------------
TROLL 2! CAST/DIRECTOR PRESENT! A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As many of you now know, the LMA's founder Blair Sterrett was highly instrumental in getting this whole "Troll 2-mania" thing going. We at the Archive are quite proud of the fact that the Lost Media sponsored Troll 2 reunion party that Blair organized last year catalyzed a film tour that has sold out theatres across the country. If you want to know what all the fuss is about, then we recommend you go to this web address for a channel 2 news story:

PORTRAITS AND LANDSCAPES, (this August screening) consists entirely of experimental film by local Filmmaker Chad Gooch. Gooch's work ranges from innovative landscape interpretation to "up-close-and-personal" type documentaries. Several brand new and unseen works from this filmmaker will grace the screen on the 18th.

Chad Gooch has been a long-time participant in the SLC film and arts community. In 2004, he presented “The Lab” , A three-day exhibit of Avant-Garde film at the City Library and Broadway Cinemas. He has directed many films in and around Utah as well as many other US states.

It's not often that one gets to see personal and homegrown film works such as those made by Chad Gooch. OUT/EX is a monthly film series that brings work to audiences in Salt Lake that would never bee seen otherwise. Come and check out some new and refreshing film and video!

PLEASE SELF-HELP ME

2007-07-11T00:43:00.000-06:00

Loaf-i Productions, the Lost Media Archive, the Free form Film Festival, and Trasa Urban Arts Collective present:

PLEASE SELF-HELP ME

The latest instalment in the OUT/EX series.

This program will combine experimental film shorts with incredibly strange clips from self-help videos for yet another
entertaining evening of fringe film.

The screening will be free and will be at NoBrow Coffee (315 E. 300 S.) and Tea on July 21st (as always, the day after gallery stroll) at 8:30 pm

Hope to see you there!

JUNE OUT/EX EVENT::: ONE FRAME AT A TIME

2007-06-03T23:35:00.000-06:00

Saturday the 16th, starts at 8:30pm. location: No Brow Coffee and Tea (315 E. 300 S. Salt Lake City). ADMISSION IS FREE!

On Saturday, June 16th, Loaf-i Productions, the Free Form Film Festival, the Lost Media Archive, and Trasa Urban Arts Collective all band together to present one of the most exciting OUT/EX programs so far this year! This program is called ONE FRAME AT A TIME, and is an homage to the filmstrip! Do you remember the filmstrips you saw as an elementary school student? Your teacher would advance the frame with each beep of the cassette tape (or record)... you would draw pictures on your school desk in the dark... and the filmstrip would drone on about the merits of hygiene, or reading, or manners, etc...
Well... Brooklyn filmmaker, composer, and furniture-maker Brian Dewan has created a good number of his own filmstrips... Educational?... Maybe. Funny?... definitely!. Twisted?... ABSOLUTELY!
Dewan has had many exhibitions at Brooklyn's super-hot "Pierogi" gallery and even more exhibitions at film fests and arts events across the world. On June 16th, we will show several of Dewan's best odes to the filmstrip, ...and just to send you back to those days when you daydreamed your education away, SLC's own LOST MEDIA ARCHIVE will present a hand-full of REAL and TRULY BIZARRE filmstrips from bygone decades
