CINEMA DERIVE : DUSAN MAKAVEJEV
|
W.R.- MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM
Directed by Dusan Makavejev, Serbia, 1971.
What does the energy harnessed through orgasm have to do with the state of Communist Yugoslavia circa 1971? Only counterculture filmmaker extraordinaire Dusan Makavejev has the answers. This surreal documentary-fiction collision begins as an investigation of the life and work of controversial psychologist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and then explodes into a free-form narrative of a beautiful young Slavic girl's sexual liberation. Banned upon its release in the director's homeland, the art-house smash WR is both whimsical and bold in its blending of politics and sexuality.

SWEET MOVIE
Directed by Dusan Makavejev, Serbia, 1974.
Riding the edge of the last convulsive death throes of the commercial
avant-garde in the early 1970s, this film hit the screens with all the
abandonment of a jump into oblivion. It is a psycho-revolutionary film
which mixes Wilhelm Reich with Karl Marx, creating an assault of
imagery so visceral that it aims to awaken the audience with a kind of
cinematic shock therapy. It pushes the audience to ask themselves what
constitutes "revolution" and "freedom" and what are its dangers?
Partly filmed in Amsterdam this lost masterpiece of surrealist cinema
is a bit like John Waters teaming up with Alejandro Jodorowsky! Its an
exploration into the deepest areas of the sexual mind. It has since become
a cult treasure, which many people have heard about but never had the
chance to see. It is truly transgressive cinema, full of bizarre and memorable
images. With the participation of the Vienna actionist Otto Muehl and his
infamous AA commune!
The film is accompanied by a beautiful music score by Greek composer
Manos Hadjidakis. And indeed the lyrics of the theme song poses the question:
"Is there life on earth? Is there life after birth?"

USER
Hailing from the gothic isle of Tasmania, USER creates subterranean ambient studio explorations created with guitar, effects, field recordings, and appropriated sound. USER mixes and manipulates this live ranging from sublime atmospherics to stoner doom on a broken tape machine, no input on an obsolete mixer to concert hall crescendo. A sound project by Australian artist Scot Cotterell, USER has been presented at empty punk bars and packed concert halls around Oz.
IAIN MCINTYRE'S A WARNING
The A Warning project first took form whilst McIntyre [Ninetynine, Thee Stag Knights, The Hatchetmen] was living in London in 2004. Inspired by the film work of composers such as John Carpenter and John Cameron and gifted the use of a three track recorder and a Holiday Genie organ McIntyre crafted a soundtrack to a lost dystopian film set in the US of the Nixonian 70s. Completing work on the soundtrack using a number of analogue synthesizers during 2005 and 2006 McIntyre invited a number of Australian musicians to contribute vocals, strings, piano and drums to the project. Alongside work on the musical side of the project McIntyre raided various video and online archives for stock footage with which to create the surreal lost movie the soundtrack accompanies. 15 separate clips have been put together to tell the story of a shell shocked and alcoholic journalist who is forced into private detective work following a 1972 military coup within the US. Traveling across America in search of the runaway daughter of a high ranking politician our hero experiences saucer landings, fish falls and earthquakes. Are these phenomena merely the result of his fast deteriorating psyche or are they part of some wider conspiracy involving his quarry?
PAUL GLAZIER
"Dorothy Squeezed"
Paul Glazier presents a new version of his film "Yellow Brick Road Works". The material for this work, both audio and visual, was drawn from the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz". Taking a figurative magnifying-glass to the original film, "Yellow Brick Road Works" examined the building-blocks of this icon and unfurled a new road to Oz and back. In "Dorothy Squeezed" Paul will improvise live electronic music with samples form both the "Wizard" and the "Road Works" squeezing the original 98 minute video into a frenetic 30 minute trip!
DJ MARCELLE [Another Nice Mess]
