Blasting out of Chicago, experimental filmmaker Ben Russell makes vibrant,
"tryppy" films as emotional as they are beautiful to sink in to. His Black
and White Trypps subjects range from elliptical trees in high contrast to a
crowd at a Lightning Bolt show to a Richard Pryor performance blown out
visually. Live at the theater, Russell will also perform The American War
(#10), a 16mm double-projection live performance involving film loops, mixer
feedback, a delay pedal, and a homemade light-sensitive synthesizer.
So if you like stark footage of trees, the music of Lightning Bolt, earnest
teenagers, Richard Pryor and/or 16mm projectors, you will be thrilled this
fine night.

It looks like there's a little man in those trees.
That is all.
