Hey! We’ve got a 16mm film projector! And a libararian who loves running it! Don’t you want to come on down to the basement to watch some films? Thanks to the amazing collections at the Donnell Media Center, we can see great films from the days before video and DVD. Here’s what’s coming up for April:
Date: Monday April 7, 2008
Time: 6pm
Time: 6pm
Program Title: “Science Fiction Films at Seward”
Descripton: Come see three innovative 16mm sci-fi films:
“Arcade Attack,” 1983 (8 min.) Dirs. Phil Austin, Derek Hayes. It’s pinball machines vs. video games in this awesome 80′s animated film.
“Autobahn,” 1979 (13 min.) Dir. John Halas. Set to the music from the Kraftwerk album, this sci-fi animated film by Roger Mainwood experimented with innovative techniques to tell the story of an alien travelling through space.
“La Jetee,” 1963 (27 min.) Dir. Chris Marker. Chris Marker’s post-apocalyptic time travel film is told almost entirely with still photographs! This was an international sensation and became the inspiration for the film 12 Monkeys. (in French with English subtitles.)
