"Everywhere I go, I see a pretty girl there."; "Pretty girls everywhere." 1960's? Can anybody tell me what this is called? LISTEN TO THE AUDIENCE LAUGH!!! 16MM FILM FESTIVAL MICHAEL HANSEN
Uploaded by: TEMPmichaelhansen
Video Description:
Here is how it goes: When I was a kid, late 70s early 80s, the local library used to have super 8 and 8mm films to check out. (they had been doing this longer than the timeline I described) and we used to check these films out. I saw a lot of films. Sometime during the 80s, they stopped doing this. Me liking pop culture and stuff, I didnt know what this was about. By the time I got to high school, I made a discovery for the time period: People didnt see there friends outside of school. They didnt get together with friends in any number groups and watched films (I made a mistake of being wrapped up in music too much) and during the high school years, didnt know about Midnight Movies/Rocky Horror Picture Show and such, which is what we should have been doing. But through out all those years , and after graduation, I didnt have a car. The midnight movies were reaching there PEAK (of that style) in the area. I didnt have a car for many years, and I would try to persuade my friends to go to films. They all said NO! What is wrong here??? But a lot of theaters stopped doing Midnight Movies, and some theaters closed down. Then when I was in my late 20s, I got a car. Somebody I knew started doing up Midnight Movies again (not continuously) in my neighborhood (not downtown) So I found out about it, and started going to movies I wanted to see. But unlike the good old days, they couldnt regularly find stuff that others liked, but the films they did show people came to. Then there were other stuff: Free Showing of movies in the area, outdoor movies, and the like. I would end up going to the Midnight Movies & other film showings ALONE because nobody else cared. I have a good time!!! Here is another idea: during the 40s, 50s, 60s 70s and 80s, 16mm films were made: educational, tv shows, cartoons, ect when it comes to educational films, a lot had a good plot, but the production values left something to be desired. Films that were made in the 50s, 60s and 70s were shown to elementary school and school age kids all across America, in the 70s, 80s and 90s, but starting in the late 80s, a lot of films were put to VHS compilations (mostly drug educational films) and released to the public. As with the spirit of Reefer Madness: people watch these educational films, 16mm films.and they start laughing!!! Now a days these films are unintentionally hilarious!!! So hilarious, that into the 90s, VHS copies were compiled by a lot of companys, released, but then went OOP, consisting of all sorts of 16mm films. Now there is a DVD series called Educational Archives. Now that I have a car, I also discovered a college that had 2 times a year (I only knew of once) a film festival. Hearing it on the radio, I grabbed my videocamera and decided to check it out for myself. This Film Festival shows only 16mm films, the vinyl of visuals, an archaic medium that brings us wondrous images of a near forgotten time. Antiquated commercials, neglected cartoons, previews from old movies, various short subjects which may have been intentionally educational then that are now just unintentionally funny. These films are the vox populi, not the master's voice, made by people looking for a paycheck, not immortality. WHOCARES wants you to experience something not old enough to be precious nor young enough to be contemporary. A black and white world of irradiated, enormous insects, big hair, large cars, and happy people satisfied by the mild, mild, mild taste of tobacco. When the only worrisome foreign ownership was the prevalence of Canada Dry soft drinks. An invisible art, this collection of films would never be celebrated by the academy. Monsters and clowns, the goofs and the gallants, products long gone and quaint notions of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. All this and more at the whocares film festival as well as a roomful of people who like the same things you do- and how often does that happen? These are films with never-weres not has-beens, though that doesn't mean that they are without talent, even if only a talent to amuse, at this point. You will want to see whocares (THE PLACE FILLS UP!!!)- for the history, for the hysteria, for the histrionics. You'll laugh and wonder how it was that this corner of culture could ever have escaped your attention. See the shocking, eye-staggering truth, the follies and foibles, the catchy tunes, and the tidal waves of terror that are all part of the Film Festival, where a classroom full of people watch these films, laugh, laugh, make cat calls, and generally have a good time. Before you get too smug, remember that the distance of time allows us to see a culture's conceits. How will the future look at you, look at us? The future is now and the whocares Film Festival, Previous WHOCARES have sold-out, so for best seating, get there early. SO I have all this good stuff.
