The VSW Film Archive holds over 5000 16mm films from public and university libraries. Ranging from educational to entertaining, these well-loved films are sometimes antiquated, often relevant, and always resonant. The SLUDGE project puts this unique 16mm collection to wild use, projecting and overlapping multiple films simultaneously. The surprising combinations that emerge in a SLUDGE performance expand and alter meanings, from sublime to disturbing, absurd or humorous, hypnotic and scrambling. SLUDGE the IVth: Bride of SLUDGE is the first Halloween iteration of SLUDGE, scaring up the creepiest and most dreadful films from our vault, projecting horrors natural and supernatural. Come experience the sensational SLUDGE for yourself … if you dare!
