(more)Concluding our Psychedelia suite, genre archivist Christian Divine returns with another mind-bending slide-show on cult cinema, this time trippin' on freak-out scenes in feature films. This kaleidoscopic genre, peaking in the '60s and '70s, opened up an opportunity to directly demonstrate a visionary experience in filmic terms. Among the sensory overload of B-fare, obscure anomalies, and even an occasional A-movie, we grok the grooviest vignettes from The Trip, Head, Skidoo, The Tingler, Riot on Sunset Strip, Wild in the Streets, Psych-Out, Easy Rider, 200 Motels, The Big Cube, Performance, and myriad more. Divine has organized his presentation in the shape of an actual trip, with a few longer 16mm interludes (Hallucination Generation and Go Ask Alice). PLUS a cautionary clip from LSD: Insight or Insanity, free Kool-Aid, and a liquid light show! Admission: $6.00 Saturday, April 28, 8:30 pm ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia (@ 21st) San Francisco, California www.othercinema.com
