The EXPLODING CINEMA 20th Birthday Party

Saturday October 29th
The Dogstar, Brixton.
8pm till late • Membership £5

Before “Pop-Up”cinema, before Vimeo, before even YouTube, there was
a place where independent filmmakers could screen their work to a popular
audience without selection, censorship or submission fee.

A place free from the ‘broadcast quality’of commercial media and the elite
cliques of the Art academy. A convivial democracy which first revealed the
utopian secret : a short film made by an amateur with no budget and
domestic technology could be better than a Hollywood feature or an Art
gallery masterpiece. Twenty years after the first show in a squatted sun tan
oil factory in Brixton, after hundreds of regular screenings, spectacular
events in an outdoor swimming pool, a circus tent, a deconsecrated church,
rooftops, pubs, squats, clubs and railway arches, after tours of Europe,
after spin off groups in Brighton, Amsterdam and Los Angeles, after 
screening
thousands of short films to thousands of people, it’s time to celebrate
twenty years of the Exploding Cinema !

Featuring:
HALLOWEEN revels, short films, psychedelic visuals, performance,
soundtracks...

and, on two screens, classics from the Exploding vault.

Special guest : the Man from Uranus
Vee Jay : Total Kunst.
(Networking for the squares.)
