For the Monthly Film Series in May, 21c and LFS will host Dennis Nyback for a double feature and Q&A with the filmmaker. Considered a "found footage film maker," Nyback creates feature-length films out of collected material purchased anywhere from other film collectors to Ebay and personally travels the world to show his work.

At 7pm, May 20, The Effect of Dada & Surrealism on Hollywood Cinema in the 1930s  will be screened followed by Hillbillies in Hollywood. The Effect of Dada... shows the process of how Hollywood took the artistic movements of Dada and Surrealism and dumped them into American movies without any explanation. Hillbillies in Hollywood  gives a panorama of the performers of the rockabilly genre who transgressed into the Hollywood scene: Bob Willis, Jimmie Rogers, Spike Jones, just to name a few. Nyback will be present for each showing and have a Q&A after each film.
