New York, NY
$6 Members, $8 General Public


In its sixth year, the No Fun Festival has emerged as one of the most unique and
vital festivals for experimental music worldwide. Curated by No Fun organizer
and label head Carlos Giffoni, this special screening will present moving image
work by a selection of artists performing in the 2009 festival.

Jim O'Rourke and filmmaker Makino Takashi collaborate on The Seasons, a dense
abstract film that fluctuates in tandem with O'Rourke's dramatic and resonant
score. Robert Beatty (of Hair Police and Three Legged Race) will provide a live
soundtrack to artist Takeshi Murata's hypnotic videos and animations.
Experimental filmmaker and sound artist Sarah Lipstate (of Noveller) presents
Interior Variations, a collage of 16mm hand-painted film, black and white super
8mm, and found footage, which will be accompanied by a new Noveller composition
titled "Telecine". Dominick Fernow/Prurient will screen spins the worlds wheel
again a short film inspired by his 180 page hardcover book of collages Rose
Pillar on Heartworm Press which deals directly with mortality within the family
structure. Sound artist/composer
C. Spencer Yeh (of Burning Star Core), known for his arrangements that draw on
both aural and physical experience, will premiere a new work using voice as its
central component. Megan Ellis and Carlos Giffoni will also showcase a new
piece, created specifically for this show, which will pair minimalist visuals
with an evolving electronic sound score.
