Join us in the University Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive sculpture garden (at the PFA/Durant Avenue entrance to the museum) for an off-the-wall on-the-wall screening of short films about the Atomic Age. Expect to be blown away by radiating messages from the avant-garde, as well as artifacts from the atomic dustbin of history. At the core is Bruce Conner's brilliant and funereal Crossroads (1976, 36 mins, B&W, 16mm, from Canyon Cinema), a re-choreographing of footage from "Operation Crossroads," the first underwater A-bomb test at Bikini Atoll. The repetitive detonation, originally recorded by over five hundred cameras, is offered as a lethal but eerily majestic specter of American might. Around this visual nucleus we'll present brief experimental films, ephemeral propaganda, and other light particles from America's fissionary filmmakers. An evening full of anti-matter-because anti matters.-Steve Seid
