[EXPERIMENTAL FILM] The fourth installment of Squeaky Wheel’s OTHERWORLDS sci-fi series hits the cinema at Hallwalls this Friday night with a 76-minute program guest-curated by the experimental film scholar Herb Shellenberger. Shellenberger, among many things, is also the curator of the exhibition Independent Frames: American Experimental Animation in the 70s + 80s, which is set to open at the Tate Modern in February. The lineup of five short films projected from rarely seen 16-millimeter prints promises to be a real trip into cosmic landscapes, alternate realities, and space/time travel. The evening will feature Steven Arnold’s The Liberation of the Mannique Mechanique (1967), Scott Bartlett’s Moon (1969), Willy Braque’s Amnesie 25 (1967), Nicholas Brooks and Benedict Drew’s Sump (2016), and Molly Palmer’s Some Shapes Without Edges (2016). And Shellenberger plans to stick around to host a post-screening Q and A.
