Decasia: The State of Decay
When: Sat., Nov. 17, 8 p.m. 2012
Price: $6-$7
Things fall apart, but rarely with this hallucinatory, violent beauty that Bill Morrison and his brilliant composer Michael Gordon evoke in their celebrated ode to celluloid decay and man's eternal, quixotic quest to transcend materiality, time, and space. Sometimes called a dystopian ode to creation, this film tells a mesmerizing story through fragments of decayed and deteriorated film footage culled from private collections and across film archives.
