ATA: OC: Optronica2

SPELLETICH + 99 HOOKER + DANIEL +

Our second live-cinema screening is shaped by its proximity to Election Day, so that Kal Spelletich can more effectively conjure his curse on candidate D.Trump and his Nazi posse! ProPublica hero-reporter AC Thompson and sound artist Mansur Nurullah aid Kal’s American Aria live remix of never-seen Jan. 6th footage, towards an energized condemnation of the QAnon election-deniers. Co-billed is that nationally-touring video-poet 99 Hooker, a welcome member of the OC family and an electronic artiste whose work approaches stream-of-thought image-generation. AND also here is none other than Bill Daniel, with one of his 16mm double-projection collabs with local musicians. Tommy Becker, too, makes the scene, with the world premiere of his Stars Bright on a Blue Field, while long-time ATA fave Mike Kavanagh brings in his desperately needed critique of AI. PLUS Russ Forster on Banjo, Pussy Riot, Indecline, Vic Berger, and a hilarious battery of anti-Trump punches. $14
