The next installment of the Dailies:PORTAL Film Exchange Project screens at the Goethe Zentrum at Colony Square in Midtown tonight. New works from Germany, Poland, Russia and Austin, Texas.
WHAT: Dailies:PORTAL Screening
WHERE: Goethe Zentrum, 2nd floor at Colony Square Midtown (14th and Peachtree)
WHEN: 6:30-8pm, discussion to follow
ENTRY: FREE (park beneath and bring ticket up for validation), donations for beer and wine
More on the project from Tim Habeger:
"DAILIES has had 5 screenings in Berlin and Munich. We always a big crowd and great discussion. We believe in an equal exchange -- our artists showing there and theirs showing here 50/50.
DAILIES will have more screenings in 2009. We also have a co-production film project beginning between Atlanta and Berlin.
This is a perfect time to join in the discussion.
The Goethe Institute funds travel for several filmmakers each year. The discussion after the screenings helps them understand the interest in our filmmakers for working outside Atlanta. Goethe is not just a German Cultural institution, but is a global network with branches in most major cities world wide (5 in America). They support work in each of the hundreds of cities world wide.
The hope of the Dailies PORTAL exchange is not to immediately like each others films, but to see if a dialogue is possible.
The challenge is to work to find shared needs and strengths -- ways to work together. It's hard and requires open minds on both sides, but it is well worth the effort. We hope that two of the filmmakers you will see tonight will be working with us in Atlanta this next year." -----

Venture Out metamorphosis
I've been reviewing some history, notes, and functions of this blog, and will be doing some restructuring. In doing this, I realized that some of the on-going film nights and related events have died. That's sad. I'm interested in what people think about these events and any ideas you might have as to why they died off. Also, your feedback throughout the formation and life of this blog has been priceless, and is especially appreciated during this time. Please leave comments and/or email me.

Hey everyone - our friend and fellow filmmaker Michael McReynolds suffered a bike accident recently. Unfortunately, he remembers nothing from the time right before the impact to when he awoke busted-up in his bed the next morning. His bike that he built, his new MacAir, his iphone, and glasses are all gone. Someone gave him a ride home. He's spent the last few weeks on a liquid diet with his mouth wired shut, and sporting a shoulder brace that resembles a gun holster. Although he's in good spirits and looking mighty fine in his short shorts, he's got a mean stack of hospital bills. Come out, see some killer live performances, hang out with all of us, and help support the McRick. Only $5. Show some love.

Bobb Lovett - local filmmaker and photographer, and curator of the recent Pullman Yard Show - is having his first solo art show tonight at Octane Coffee Bar & Lounge on the westside. An ardent traveler and explorer, he has spent the last 5 years uncovering and photographing some of Atlanta's overlooked and forgotten spaces. Here, his approach appears less as documentary, and more like portraiture. Though many of the photos are of derelect or decrepit buildings and spaces, they carry a real sense of warmth and comfort, much like home. In This is MY Atlanta, Bobb shares with us his urban exploration of and love for Atlanta.

New Street Gallery is hosting a new weekly film series called Cinemama!
Go and check out some greats for free, and don't be stingy on the donations.
We need events like this around town, so please help them stay alive. Go ahead - Venture Out. More info below...
THIS THURSDAY, MAY 1, 8PM at the New Street Gallery:
City Lights (Charlie Chaplin, 1931 / 87 minutes, Silent BW)
Often cited as Chaplin's best movie as well as one of the best movies of all time, City Lights is a tender love story between the Tramp and a blind girl (Virginia Cherrill). As with all of Chaplin's films, there is no shortage of slapstick humor and perfect comedic timing here. But the real brilliance of the movie is how emotionally relevant and resonant it still is today. A perfect blend of the tragic and the comic unique only to Chaplin, it slowly builds into one of the most memorable endings in cinematic history.
~
Cinemama is a film series featuring films every Thursday 8PM at the New
Street Gallery. Everyone is invited! There will be POPCORN, DRINKS, and SOFT FLUFFY PILLOWS. This is a FREE event, although donations are welcome.
May's theme will be UNLIKELY LOVE, featuring:
MAY 1, 8PM: "City Lights" (Charlie Chaplin, 1977)
MAY 8, 8PM: "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul" (Rainer W. Fassbinder, 1974)
MAY 15, 8PM: "Lovers on the Bridge" (Leos Carax, 1991)
MAY 22, 8PM: "Harold and Maude" (Hal Ashby, 1971)
MAY 29, 8PM: "Talk to Her" (Pedro Almodovar, 2002)
NOTE: we're having some technical problems and our website (cinemama.org) is currently down. But it will be back up soon. Please check back on the website for future dates and themes.
New Street Gallery's address is:
2800 Washington Street

LET GO - Woyzeck Atlanta
Today at 6pm is your last chance to see Woyzeck at EyeDrum.
If you expect to walk into a theater and sit in the house for the entire performance, this isn't for you. Woyzeck invites you on a journey through the story, experiencing it from your chosen vantage point, and as close to or far from the performers as you'd like. The site-specific performance installation utilizes all of EyeDrum's space and grounds, and makes the viewer feel like they have stepped into the story. It is intense and intimate. Past Dailies participants involved in this show include Steven Westdahl, Christie Vozniak, David Quay, and others. After today, Woyzeck will move to the B Complex on Murphy Avenue in the West End for the remainder of it's run. Definitely check it out.

COLOR FIELDS: An Instant Exhibition
The Opal Gallery
484 B-2 Moreland Ave. Atlanta 30307 (next to A Capella Books in L5P)
March 20
7-9 pm
Color Fields is an exploration of color through the lens of thirteen Atlanta photographers who have long been enthralled with Polaroid photography.
Each artist selected for the exhibition translates the medium in their own unique way by selecting a single color as a point of departure. The resulting photographs are installed throughout the gallery to create a color spectrum. Polaroid is often thought of as a tool of quick documentation, but these artists have expanded the use to create beautiful images in an instant.
Color Fields comes at the same time that Polaroid announces that it will close the factory doors and stop production by the end of this year, thus the exhibition has shifted focus to celebrate the beloved and dying medium.
Curated by Stephanie Dowda of Click Clique photography collective.
Featuring work by Stephanie Dowda, John Paul Floyd, Sonya Jilani, Lee Summers, Matt Pensworth, Leuwam Tesfai, Chris Carder, Justin Weaver, Neda Abghari. Erin Bassett, Emilee Heath, Richie Bearden, and Allyson Ross.

In Jan 2006, three Atlanta directors and their band of crew set out to make a feature. Shortly after it's midnight screening at Sundance in 2007, it was picked up by Magnolia Pictures. This Friday, it will fill 200 screens across the country. The reviews have been great. Fan support has been awesome. For those who haven't heard - check out THE SIGNAL.

This month in our feature screening series we are very excited to have Bret Wood and his indie feature Psychopathia Sexualis.
These indie features are for those filmmakers who are interested in taking the next step from shorts into features. Not only will we be screening local and national shorts but we will be having a intimate talk back with the filmmakers and producers who created these works. This film developed out of relationships built through Dailies projects, so stick around afterward to talk to Bret about his thoughts and experiences.
The story
Employing a complex multi-narrative structure, Psychopathia Sexualis dramatizes case histories of turn-of-the-century sexual deviance, drawn from the pages of Richard von Krafft-Ebing'snotorious medical text. Among the cases are a sexually repressed man who discovers an unhealthy appetite for blood; a homosexual man who submits himself to a doctor who promises to 'cure' his condition; and a masochist who hires a pair of corseted prostitutes to enact a most peculiar performance. In the final chapter, a woman who has spent her life suppressing her lesbian desires is hired to tutor a sexually curious young woman. These stories are bound together by the thread of an ambitious doctor who not only studies the patients, but uses them as pawns and playthings.

Production Designer Fatimah Abdullah curated this show.
I'm not a fan of cover charges, but they've got some good giveaways,
and sometimes you just can't help what the venue demands.
Wine and things are probably included, so go check out this show
and network with some Art Department talent for your future work.
