DEEP THROAT
- April 1 - 7


Gerald Damiano
35mm, 61 minutes
Rated X (adults only)

Deep Throat (The Original) Newly Restored Print!! Featrures bonus documentary footage following the film.


Generally considered the most profitable motion picture of all
time, the 1972 adult film Deep Throat was more than a titillating curiosity and a huge moneymaker. Released at the very moment when the national hunger for sexual liberation, equal rights and counter-cultural values were reaching
a fever pitch, this sexually explicit film unexpectedly became the flashpoint for an unprecedented social and political firestorm. A major cultural phenomenon whose impact continues to affect us today. With Linda Lovelace, Harry Reems, Dolly Sharp.

DOING TIME, DOING VIPASSANA & A ZEN TALE
- May 13 - 18


India, 1997
Eilona Ariel and
Ayelet Menahemi
35mm, 52 minutes

This is the story of an ancient meditation technique named Vipassana, which shows people how to take control of their lives and channel them toward their own good.It is the story of a strong woman named Kiran Bedi, the former Inspector General of Prisons in New Delhi, who strove to transform the notorious Tihar Prison and turn it into an oasis of peace. But most of all it is the story of prison inmates who underwent profound change, and who realized that incarceration is not the end but possibly a fresh start toward an improved and more positive life. These people have shown that reform can work if it is self-reform. Their success has been so dramatic that recently the Indian Government decided to apply Vipassana in all the country's prisons. Other countries are becoming interested as well. The filmmakers spent about
two weeks inside Tihar Central Prison in New Delhi and Baroda Jail in the Indian state of Gujarat. They interviewed inmates and jail officials, and
filmed in places rarely accessible to film crews, whether Indian or foreign.

A ZEN TALE

The Netherlands, 2000
Magdalena Sole
35mm, 11 minutes

A ZEN TALE is based on an ancient tale of perceived reality, a tale of how difficult it is to communicate with one another across more than language barriers. This short is a wonderful live-action lesson of how we can go own living our lives under the strangest mis-interpretations. A ZEN TALE is
lesson in philosophy that uses film to teach us that communication is beyond
perception and what you see is not always what you get.

- June 17 - 23


U.S., 2005
Pedro Carvajal
78 minutes

"Ron's art is an antidote to the poison in our culture."
--Lilly Hatch
NY Arts Magazine

Bombarded by relentless advertising in a growing culture of junk, one man activist/artist Ron English dares to hijack corporate advertising, challenging us to change the sham of reality they've created and reminding us that free speech still lives.
Bringing his messages to the masses through billboards and other forms of outdoor marketing, Ron takes traditional advertising hostage, subverting familiar images and words into confrontational art. Whether attacking a popular fast food chain with a manipulated image of its popular icon emblazed with the words Phat Food, or taking on a tobacco giant and simply covering their logo with the word breathe, Ron implores us to re-evaluate what we see and succumb to it no more.
Infused with Ron's infectious passion, THE ART & CRIMES OF RON ENGLISH is an engaging thrill ride into the life and art of the billboard bandit that will inspire and activate.
