NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON SPARKS – Tickets – PhilaMOCA – Philadelphia, PA – April 27th, 2017 | Ticketfly


Never Turn Your Back on Sparks – Trailer from IN-EDIT on Vimeo.


The 2017 Cinedelphia Film Festival presents the U.S. Premiere of Never Turn Your Back On Sparks!


Sparks have been creating idiosyncratic music of varying genres for almost 50 years now. Comprised of California-born brothers Ronald and Russell Mael, Sparks’ sound has consistently and organically evolved over the course of 23 albums, covering everything from glam rock to disco pop to electronic dance to their current status as experimental pop masters. Despite a rich body of work and decades’ worth of accolades from critics and peers alike, mainstream success has always alluded Sparks, possibly by their own devices, and thus they have properly earned their status as cult icons, complete with an obsessive and dedicated fanbase.


As he turns 50, filmmaker Pini Schatz sets out to explore his life-long obsession with the band Sparks (the brothers Ron and Russell Mael). Pini charts the impact of Sparks on his life while meeting with fellow Sparks’ fans, among them famous musicians, in Tel Aviv, London, Berlin, Rotterdam and New York. Structured as a personal quest by the filmmaker to prove that Sparks are the coolest underrated band in the history of popular music. This docu-comedy explores universal themes such as coping with aging and being an outsider, the importance of art in daily life, and the power of non-conformity.


Recognizable interview subjects include punk legend Jello Biafra, producer Tony Visconti, and songwriter Gemma Ray. A comedic documentary that explores the legacy of one of America’s great unsung musical duos and the impact they have had on the lives of their fans.


PLUS a 30 minute compilation of rare (unavailable online) Sparks footage from CFF director Eric’s personal collection (an obsessive Sparks fan himself). It’s also Eric’s birthday so expect a Sparks-themed cake.

Philadelphia Psychotronic Film Society - April meeting #2


Monday, April 24 at 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

531 N. 12th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19123


Programmer: Cinedelphia Film Festival


The second of two special April meetings guest programmed by the CFF! Special guests, appropriate for anyone with psychotronic sensibilities.


The above image does not reflect the film that will be screened.


We are the most informal of film clubs, providing free screenings of cult/weirdo/B-movie fare, meeting on the second and final Monday of every month at PhilaMOCA for one full movie and maybe a short or two. Sometimes the film will be a surprise, other times it’ll be announced ahead of time. Everyone who joins up gets a say in future screenings. You become an official member after signing in at three meetings and are rewarded with a cool enamel pin of the PPFS logo. BYOB is encouraged as is the Psychotronic Film Society way.


The Philadelphia Psychotronic Film Society is officially sanctioned by Brian Thomas, Propaganda Minister of the Sinister for Chicago’s Psychotronic Film Society.


WARNING: The content of what we’ve come to know as psychotronic films runs the gamut from talking dogs to violent assaults. There will always be a warning of some sort on all PPFS event pages. Sometimes the programmer will choose to be revealing and detailed about the content of their selection in advance, sometimes it will be a simple warning regarding the possibility of extreme content. In the latter case, it is wisest for those who will possibly be offended by extreme subject matter to err on the side of caution.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Call for Artists – A More Perfect Union: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Loving v. Virginia — Asian Arts Initiative


A MORE PERFECT UNION: CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF LOVING V. VIRGINIA

A juried exhibition at Asian Arts Initiative

Curated by Dave Kyu

Exhibition: June 2 – August 25, 2017

Submission Deadline: Monday, April 24, 2017, 11:59PM


CURATORIAL STATEMENT

The election of Barack Obama was seen as a turning point of a society that had become “post-race,” or in other words, a society free from racial preference, discrimination, and prejudice. But this is not the world we live in. We live instead in a world that has leaned into race; into a political climate where understanding the intersectionality of race, gender, and identity are more important than ever.


We take this moment to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Loving v. Virginia case, and the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision to invalidate laws prohibiting interracial marriage. This decision affirms that our fundamental civil rights cannot be denied based on the classifications of race. This decision is a celebration of an American system, that although often flawed, is capable of correcting injustice, in the pursuit of a more perfect Union.


A More Perfect Union invited artists of all disciplines to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, to explore the themes of interracial marriage and relationships, but also the various aspects of interracial identity; an identity made possible in large part by this Supreme Court decision.


Said Mildred Loving, “That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.”


ELIGIBILITY

We invite professional and emerging artists (including recent graduates of matriculated programs) working in any medium (visual artists, writers & poets, musicians, performers) to submit one (1) to three (3) original artworks that explore the themes of interracial marriage and relationships, and also the various aspects of interracial identity. Works will be selected by the curator for this juried exhibition that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the “Loving v. Virginia” Supreme Court decision.


ENTRIES

Entry forms must be complete and submitted online only. There is no entry fee.


All submissions must be received by Monday, April 24 at 11:59pm EST.


Please complete the Entry Form here: https://docs.google.com/a/asianartsinitiative.org/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJIs2thsv86TOj_ELBeiuYrWjY6exIWxlovnPg-aTkdPkyOA/viewform


Please send additional images and artist resume to gallery@asianartsinitiative.org.


SUBMISSIONS

– Support material can include images of your artwork, Microsoft Word files, and/or a list of links to video/audio files.

– Images must be saved as JPG files at 72dpi and must be no larger than 2000 pixels in any direction.

– Each file name should correspond with the entry form. For example, Mildred Loving’s image should be titled “LovingM1 Untitled.” You may include up to 3 additional details of each work.

– Video and Audio files should not exceed 3 minutes (excerpts will be accepted) and should be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud.


Please email gallery@asianartsinitiative.org with any questions.

Clean Bandit - Tickets - Union Transfer - Philadelphia, PA, April 22, 2017 | Ticketfly



 




Clean Bandit / Zara Larsson / Starley at Union Transfer


*Early Show*


UT Newsletter: http://ticketf.ly/1RqX4bJ

Facebook Event Feed: http://on.fb.me/1Xjri0B


Clean Bandit


What does deep house, the work of Stockhausen, a self-programmed snake and a frozen Lily Cole have in common? No, it’s not the contents of a lost episode of Skins. Nor is it the XX’s Christmas list. It is, rather, just a few of the details that make up Clean Bandit, a new four-piece that in their playfulness and willingness to trample over musical boundaries offer a refreshing new direction for dance music in 2013.


Forget your rock revivalists or your retrofitted soul crooners, Clean Bandit could not have emerged at any time other than now. Comprised of brothers Jack and Luke Patterson alongside the classically-trained pair of Grace Chatto and Neil Amin-Smith, the group formed in 2008. One night , in the dingy confines of a Cambridge nightclub, classic music met bass music, and it never looked back.


“It was at the band’s own club night called National Rail Disco. We set it up because we thought there was a real lack of new interesting music at the time. The first ever one was basically set up so we could perform. But as it carried on it became more of a straightforward club night we DJ’d or played live most weeks alongside other DJs and electronic acts we loved.”


The students, not normally thought to be a particularly clubby kind of crowd, were into it. “They loved it, it was really successful and always completely packed”, says Jack. “People didn’t expect the students to be into it, but they were. They all had a real appetite for the music. One of the coolest things was the night we had James Blake down. Three quarters of the way through his set he just played a Destiny’s Child acapella on its own. Even though there was no beat,. people just went completely off. That was amazing.”


National Rail Disco provided Clean Bandit with a blueprint for everything that was to follow. First, there was a willingness to take risks. Second a desire to blend beats and strings. Third, it was done in a DIY fashion, using whatever resources were to hand.


But first they decided to move to Moscow. Grace to learn the language and play cello. Jack followed her, and ended up enrolling in Russia’s famous film school, The Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography. “I didn’t have much to do in Moscow and someone mentioned a film course that was open to international students so I thought I’d give it a try. It was a five year course,” Jack recalls. “I didn’t do the whole thing, but the whole of the first year you only do black and white still images. In the second year you do moving images but still only in black and white. It was all in Russian too, and to begin with none of the students spoke a word of it.”


It was at the Gerasimov that Jack’s ideas of blending music recordings with filmmaking began to take shape. “I was making music on a laptop a lot while I was there”, he says. “It was still a hobby though. I had long days at film school and then would come home and have a go messing around making music. I wrote Mozart’s House while I was out there. I was listening to a lot of house music there, there was a little boutique outside our flat that would blast out house for 24 hours. Maybe that seeped in.”


Now, in 2013, Clean Bandit are still mixing things up. Currently residing in London, this electroquartet are applying their principles to a whole new range of possibilities. Listen to single ‘A&E’ and you’ll hear classical, bucolic strings intertwining with UK funky bass and a melody of modern electronic pop. It’s a new sophisticated sound, but one that’s distinctive of our capital. The soulful vocals, meanwhile, are sung by guests Kandaka Moore and Nikki Marshall, found by chance in the group’s new home of Kilburn. “They were part of local community singing and dancing group next door to our studio”, says Jack. “We thought they would be perfect for this track.” And so they are, sharing the enthusiasm of the track and, also, the versatility of the group. Moore also volunteered as a dancer for the video, which necessitated her being part of a stop-motion animation. “She was completely unfazed by being painted gold over the course of two hours”, notes Jack.


That was far from being the most complicated part of the production, by the way. The video for A&E also required the creation of a golden snake. A serpent that, as in a real life game of Snake, slithered across central London. It was a challenge, one that Jack — typically — took it upon himself to rise to. So how do you make a snake? “We made it on the computer”, he says. “I taught myself to use Cinema 4D. I studied architecture at uni, so I had kind of got into 3d graphics, modeling and animation. Luke learned how to do the fluid dynamics, because the snake had to go through water at the beginning.”


Clean Bandit have also been getting a taste of a different experience closer to home whilst on tour this spring with teenage chart conquerors Disclosure. “The tour was really fun”, says Jack. “It was great to see how that world worked and to be in these really cool clubs up and down the country was brilliant. There were screaming fans. We had people who knew the words to our songs, which was quite amazing to see. It was unexpected.”


The stakes were raised even higher for new single ‘Dust Clears’. This concept video, also directed by Jack, was half-filmed on the frozen lakes of northern Sweden in winter. “In this video all the band work in a factory, but the lead singer is an older guy who’s got this fantasy of being an ice skater”, says Jack, with a smile. “We filmed the skating in Sweden and that was great, we used some special techniques. Two of us were towed along on a sled with two different lenses, two cameras filming our dear friend Nick as he skated past. Nick is our friend’s dad and while we were thinking about making the video we heard that when he was 17 he was a Scottish figure skating champion. When you see the video, you’ll see why we found this quite amazing.”


Quite clearly kids of the internet generation, Clean Bandit aren’t precious about where they find inspiration or how they deploy it (the aforementioned Lily Cole volunteered to stand in a freezing cold swimming pool for the video to UK Shanty, in return for Jack giving her a tutorial on her new video camera). Neither are they devoted to one type of creativity. They make music, they make video, they perform live.


“We try to think of each piece as being a music video rather than a song”, says Jack. “Videos for songs is the output. That’s how we’d like it to be digested. Now we’re doing more and more music, we’re having to make stuff without the videos, but hopefully we’ll be able to catch up.”


Zara Larsson


A talented Swedish vocalist and songwriter with a penchant for crafting soulful electro-pop that falls somewhere between Rihanna, Lorde, and Robyn, Zara Maria Larsson first caught the public’s eyes and ears in 2008 as the winner of the popular Swedish talent show Talang Sverige (the regional version of Got Talent). Born on December 16, 1997 in Stockholm, Larsson inked a deal with Ten Music Group after winning Talang, and issued her debut EP, Introducing, which featured the hit single “Uncover,” in 2013. The song was certified triple-platinum in her home country, and after another EP, Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself, Larsson began work on her official debut long-player. The resulting 1 arrived in 2014 via Record Company Ten and Universal Music. Three additional singles reached the Swedish Top Ten: “She’s Not Me,” “Carry You Home,” and “Rooftop.” A pair of new singles for 2015 proved to be her international breakthrough. First, “Lush Life” reached the Top Ten across Europe, then “Never Forget You” (featuring MNEK) hit the Top Ten in Great Britain and went gold in the United States.


Starley


Starley is a dance-pop artist signed to Tinted Records in Australia. Influenced by the music she listened to growing up, combined with her multi-racial background, Starley’s musical style has developed into a unique fusion of genres, all routed in pop music. Originally hailing from Sydney, Starley moved to London to pursue a career in music and landed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV UK. That opportunity provided her with the ability to learn the craft and art of songwriting, while collaborating with a wide range of producers and writers throughout London, Sweden and the US. Last year Starley returned to Australia to focus on her own artist project where she was discovered by Tinted Records and quickly joined their roster. She is currently working on her debut album.

Hidden City Philadelphia - Exploring David Lynch"s "Eraserhood"


Sunday, May 14 at 11 AM – 12:30 PM


When David Lynch moved to Philadelphia in the late 1960s to attend PAFA, he discovered a city that was both terrifying and inspiring. Explore the neighborhood that so electrified Lynch’s imagination in the company of two tour guides: Hidden City’s Peter Woodall and Lynch aficionado Bob Bruhin. During this one-and-a-half hour walking tour, we’ll delve into the neighborhood’s pre- and post-Lynch history, as well as the sights and sounds that inspired Lynch’s movies, particularly Eraserhead.When David Lynch moved to Philadelphia in the late 1960s to attend PAFA, he discovered a city that was both terrifying and inspiring.
