The 4th annual
"Attack of the 50-Ft. Reels"

Here's how the 50-Ft. Reels Event Works:
The first 25 people to send in a check for $30 receive one 50-ft. roll of Super 8 film (that's 3 minutes and 20 seconds of moving images running at 18 frames per second) and the challenge of making a movie edited entirely in the camera. The $30 fee covers the cost of film and processing.

Filmmakers return their cartridge of exposed film. Flicker sends off the films for processing and prepares them for screening. The filmmakers get to see their films for the first time on the night of the show.

Here are the dates for this year's event:
	Entry deadline: Fri., July 19
	Filmmakers pick up film Fri., Aug. 2
	Exposed films returned Fri., Sept. 6
	See the results on Wed., Sept. 25

Starring Jeff, in person!
Shockoe Bottom Arts Center,
8:00 pm
2001 E. Grace St., Richmond
Admission $5.

Best known for the notorious Heavy Metal Parking Lot, Washington DC-based filmmaker Jeff Krulik produces documentaries dealing with arcane pop culture. His subjects are sometimes weird, sometimes crazy and always funny. Whether it's a movie star driving a bus or one man's immense, archived pornography collection, Krulik's films seem to capture that space where the banal and the outrageous meet.

Jeff Krulik will be on hand to present and discuss a program of short films including: Heavy Metal Parking Lot (1986) Neil Diamond Parking Lot (1997) Harry Potter Parking Lot (2000) Ernest Borgnine on the Bus (1997) I Created Lancelot Link (1999) Obsessed With Jews (2000) and more!

Jeff Krulik is a prolific artist who has shown his work all over the world. He has been involved in the film and television industry since the early '80s, including production, promotion and programming. He spent five years developing and researching programs for Discovery Channel and the Learning Channel. Since May 1995, he's been an independent freelance producer. Currently, he's completing the historical/hysterical documentary Hitler's Hat.

Selections A-Z from the
"Essential Cinema"
(as designated by Anthology Film Archives in New York)
Firehouse Theatre, 8:00 pm
1609 W. Broad St., Richmond
Admission $5.

Laboring long in obscurity and forging paths oft times in isolation, makers of the avant-garde, alternative, experimental or living cinema amassed a catalogue to rival the studios. In response, Anthology Film Archives, founded in 1970, established its program known as the Essential Cinema Repertory Collection “to define the art of film in terms of selected works which indicate its essences and parameters.”

RMIC began with A in the fall of 2001 and we intend to work our way to Z and begin again. With more than 250 classic films from 1900 to the mid-1970s, this could take years so get the largest popcorn you can find.

John Mhiripiri, Anthology Film Archives administrative director and exhibitions coordinator, will introduce the program and answer questions afterward.

In this installment:
"Meshes of the Afternoon" (1943) Maya Deren, 18 min.
"Early Abstractions Nos. 1, 2, & 3" (1941-57) Harry Smith.
"A Movie" (1958) Bruce Conner, 12 min.
"Mothlight" (1963) Stan Brakhage, 3 min.
"Castro Street" (1966) Bruce Baillie, 12 min.
"Samadhi" (1967) Jordan Belson, 5 min.
"Hymn to Her" (1974) Stan Brakhage, 3 min.
"Serene Velocity" (1970) Ernie Gehr, 23 min.
