Free to Be...You and Me Invitational at PFA this Wed!!!
Free to Be...You and Me Invitational will be screening at Pacific Film Archive (PFA) on Wed. Jan. 17th at 7:30pm. My piece begins the program...the premise of which is that I tracked down four of the original kids on the merry-go-round to have them read the title song they road horsey to some 30+ years ago. Two just so happen to be fellow LJers...our very ownkitchenbeard and egbubba! I know some of you may have seen this on-line, but if all goes well, it will be the first time this gets screened in its original format, HDV widescreen.
Hope to see you there, if you're interested and can make it!

Below is more information about the screening's inception taken from the Ocularis website:
Inspired by a Brooklyn film artist’s recent discovery that his 16mm collection contained multiple copies of the celebrated 1974 film (for television) Marlo Thomas’s Free To Be...You and Me, Ocularis has devised a scheme to put his reels to good use. More than twenty film and video artists will be invited to rework, restage, respond to, satirize, criticize, or in their own way create short works inspired by the original’s all-too-memorable segments, including “It’s All Right to Cry,” “William Wants a Doll,” “Ladies First,” and “Parents Are People.”
Conceived by Erik Z and Nick Hallett.
Curated by Thomas Beard and Nick Hallett of Ocularis.
