been at this year's orphan film symposium the past few days - some highlights so far:
- crazy german cola ads from the 70s (some of which featured donna summer)- a panel all about motherhood and the family, inc. educational films about lamaze from france and the USSR- evangelical puppet film about the birth of jesus/the end of the world directed by frank tashlin (!!!)- a great short film i'd seen before about a black maid daydreaming about exacting fatal revenge on her pervy white employer, set to nina simone's 'pirate jenny'

Anthology with a Secret Cinema program tom'w night:
PROGRAM 1: TOTALLY WIRED: THE FILMS OF BELL TELEPHONEA program of short films from one of the major motion picture producers of the 20th century – the phone company! As the largest corporation in the world, Bell had unlimited resources, producing corporate films more skillfully and more entertainingly than most companies could. We will show an assortment of rare Bell sales films, in-house training films, commercials and public relations films, all on 16mm. As they depict the various missions and agendas of one business throughout the years, the movies also provide a revealing look at mid-century America in general.
Just a few of the highlights will be:TELEPHONE HIGHLIGHTS (1947); WHAT’S IN A NAME? (1950S); DIAL “O” FOR OPERATOR (1965); INVISIBLE DIPLOMATS (1965); OPERATOR (1969); PICTURE PHONE (1970); and more!
PROGRAM 2: CREEPY PUPPET FILMSPuppetry is an age-old art-form that has charmed and delighted both children and adults for countless generations. And puppets have been a source of inspiration to filmmakers almost since the movies began. So why do puppets become so…creepy when filmed and projected on a giant screen? The Secret Cinema will attempt to answer that question – or at least show our favorite examples of this peculiar genre of cinema. Using assorted educational and entertainment shorts from past decades, we’ll show films using hand puppets, marionettes, and stop-motion animated figures and claymation. Some were made by great masters of special effects like George Pal and Ray Harryhausen. Others were made by nameless hacks for forgotten educational film mills. Yet, they are all creepy.
A few highlights include:HANSEL AND GRETEL (1951, dir. Ray Harryhausen); PHILLIPS CAVALCADE (1942, George Pal); MAKING CHANGE (1970s, Unknown); GUMBY: HOT ROD GRANNY (1957, Art Clokey); PIRRO AND THE SCALE (1948, Alvin J. Gordon); and much more!
