Experimental Tuesdays Presents: Spectres of the Spectrum
Spectres of the Spectrum is a feature-length 16mm film utilizing old 'kinescopes' (filmed records of early TV broadcasts before the advent of videotape, mostly from the late Fifties' educational show called 'Science in Action') to create an eerie, haunted "media-archaeology" zone for a sci-fi time-travel tale, wherein live-action actors search for a hidden electromagnetic secret to save the planet from a futuristic war-machine, inspired by HAARP the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program.
Collective Monologue
From director Jessica Sarah Rinland, Collective Monologue follows a community of zoos and animal rescue centers across Argentina. Beyond its fascinating portrayal of interspecies care, this film features remarkable 16mm footage that examines social and historical issues like labor, gender, and colonial conquest over the natural world. Be sure to pick up a Union Cinema calendar to see what films we’re showing this month!
