VIDEO RITUALS: DAVID FINKELSTEIN & ERICA SCHREINER

VIDEO RITUALS 

 New video works by David Finkelstein and Erica Schreiner. 

Millennium Film Workshop presents Video Rituals, new works which explore the use of video as a medium of magickal transformation. The program will be the World Premiere of David Finkelstein’s new feature film Dirt, a poetic examination of the soil, and the energies buried within it. The film will be preceded by Blue Transcendence, a short by Erica Schreiner, a montage of blue butterflies, a performance in blue, and time lapse of a candle burning during a magical spell.  A collage of poetic imagery, music, and invocatory language, Dirt follows two men in a series of esoteric experiments. Their words take us to unexpected landscapes, populated by revengeful toasters, flying fiddles, an unusual game of tennis, and a mountaintop crowned with an electric guitar. A postmodern video opera, Dirt bathes the viewer in music, language, and visual spectacle.
