Which Side Are You On? 16mm films from the Orgone Archive

Saturday April 2, 2016 at 8pm

  • The Orgone Archive (Pittsburgh 13, Penna.) offers up (albeit confusedly) a program of filmic free thought freed from its 8 x 12 East End storage room as well as an oddball West Coast archive’s mythic holdings. So, enough of this you’re either with us or against us crap. As my father and/or mother might say, “Eff your chosen ones and drop your lederhosen, chums! Start straddling the photasmagraphic fence of movie magic messaging!” Kodak ghost poems indeed.

    VSW is pleased to present a program of provocative16mm films from the vaults of the legendary Orgone Archive in Pittsburgh, PA. Visiting curator Greg Pierce is co-founder of Orgone Cinema, a screening series of experimental, avant-garde and orphan films that operated in Pittsburgh for more than a decade.
