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.
