All of which is to ask: what imagination, what choir of angels, what souped-up computer, could come up with that eye-chart and its desperate chartist?

- AMERICAN PSYCHE: The Cinematic & The Civilized
Cinematic Disobedience and Brittany Gravely presents:
AMERICAN PSYCHE: The Cinematic & The Civilized
Lucy Parsons Center
358A Centre Street
Boston, Massachusetts
phone: (617) 522-6098July 18th. 7pm.
AMERICAN PSYCHE: The Cinematic & The Civilized A Powerpoint presentation which attempts to invoke American Psycho’s immortal Patrick Bateman and study his relationship to the state of souls in a soulless environment. As the möbius strip of media and reality binds us to delusion and denial, it can also carry cosmic messages. Video clips, primitive sketches, live narration, charts and graphs help illustrate the nature of Modern Civilization and how the fate of Christian Bale may be tied to our own. This occasionally- awkward, whirlwind lecture includes some violence and nudity, very little intellectual terminology, time for Q&A and perhaps meditation.
Artistically Brittany Gravely has focused primarily on 16mm film for the past several years, but also creates works in sound, video, installation, and many media of the second dimension. She graduated in 2001 with an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Her films, for which she is the writer, director, editor and sound designer include 2001’s Introduction To Living In A Closed System (New York Film Festival, Images Festival, MFA Boston, videoex, New York Underground…) and Blood of the Earthworm of 2006 (T.I.E. Cinema, Black Maria, New York Underground, Antimatter, Chicago Underground…). In 2008, she and Jennifer Pipp formed Architecture of the Sun to accompany live music while manipulating dual 16mm projections and have performed in clubs and galleries in Brooklyn, Boston and Providence. Her latest experiment is a Powerpoint presentation on American Psycho. Recently certified in palmistry, she is also currently studying herbalism and devising therapeutic film projects. She lives in Boston and works at the Harvard Film Archives.

- Hi, My name is Anthony Gaimari, I am the Media Coordinator at Winchester Community Access and Media in Winchester MA. I was wondering of you made your films available to public access stations for air This series looks really interesting and this is just the kind of thing I like to run. Please let me know if this is something you'd be interested in, thank you. -Anthony Gaimari
Hi there Anthony, thank you for contacting us. We don’t have the rights to the films per se. Various folks have been kind enough to give us access to this material. Right now we have a few screenings scheduled but it would be possible for us to organize a screening with your organization sometime in the future. Do send us email at cinematicdisobedience@googlegroups.com to get in touch with us.
Best,

- Money Talks: 16mm oddities from Zampano's Playhouse with Chris FaraoneFriday, March 30, 2012Somerville Cable Access TelevisionPotluck at 7pm - bring a dish!
Program starts at 8pm.
Cinematic Disobedience and Zampano’s Playhouse present the second film program inspired by Occupy —
— an eclectic mix of short vintage films on the American pursuit of the almighty dollar. From grim depression-era cartoons like the Fleischer Bros.’ “Greedy Humpty Dumpty” (1936) to howlingly optimistic 1970s’ training films like “Work - Coping with the 20-Hour Week,” tonight’s movies gain plenty of added resonance on the backdrop of the Occupy Movement. Any One-Percenters in the audience will particularly enjoy tonight’s inspirational noir drama “Crossroads USA” (1952) in which a disaffected young gas station attendant learns to Dream Big when a prosperous oil man passes through his station. (Brought to us by OIL INDUSTRY INFORMATION COMMITTEE.) Nine short Films in 90 minutes!
AND —
Chris Faraone, JP-based journalist who camped at many occupations around the country, will open the evening with a presentation of his book, 99 Nights with the 99 Percent.Occupy Wall Street was the biggest news story of 2011. Boston Phoenix staff writer Chris Faraone followed the movement like a storm chaser, standing out among some of the movement’s most unique activist and journalistic voices. He is one of the rare few who gained the trust of the Occupiers as he blogged about OWS on a daily basis, from locations all across the country. But he also stepped back to investigate and analyze the protests from a bigger-picture perspective, through in-depth weekly features. This powerful analysis and insight is what fuels 99 Nights with the 99 Percent:Dispatches from the First Three Months of the Occupy Revolution.

Mission Hill and the Miracle of Boston (1978) by Richard Broadman
“The story of what happened to Mission Hill is the story of many of America’s older ethnic neighborhoods. Seventy years ago, Mission Hill was an Irish neighborhood of homes and small stores in which people lived near their schools, their church, and their shopping area. But between 1940 and 1980 it changed: thousands of units of public housing were built and decayed there. Nearby hospitals expanded, displacing people from their homes. Developers and speculators bought and sold property and built twenty-story apartment houses. A new, poor population and an affluent professional population arrived to compete for parts of the old neighborhood.
Mission Hill and the Miracle of Boston is the story of urban renewal, racial conflict, and the struggle of a neighborhood to survive these changing times. Spokespeople include real estate developers, community activists, workers, and residents.” -DER
Big thanks to Documentary Educational Resources for assistance with this screening!
