1980

The Movie

"A masterpiece of color, composition music and light. The Walking Dead meets The Harlem Shake. Thirty three (33) years ahead of its time." NYTimes Art Critic Karl Kink, April 1, 2013

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, I finally got around to transferring my super-8 film 1980, which was made in.. you guessed it... 1980!

Here is the flyer that went with a showing at one of western NY's most beloved nightclub's:

"1980" made its debut at HALLWALLS, Buffalo, NY's premier art gallery on March 9, 1981.

HALLWALLS

Featuring unpaid actors, famous in their own right, who btw, haven't commented on it's recent premier, hand-picked by our casting director, Guy Manning. The idea was to dance around in a cemetery to celebrate their mortal existence. After being transported to a strange and otherworldly placement, the dancers were no longer able to find their natural rhythm. This idea finds its roots in the philosophy of Hegel and Kant (dance.)

Any who, after 33 years in captivity..... we present.... "1980."
