 (TBA).\n\nFree and Open to the Public\n\nIce \nU.S., 1969\nRobert Kramer 
 \n"Ice to me is the most original and most significant American narrative 
 film in...years. I like its slow, measured flow, which is mysterious, 
 unpredictable, full of dark corners....I like its movements, its people, 
 its mood. The film probes in depth the most urgent contemporary realities. 
 Robert Kramer is a filmmaker of the first magnitude." (Jonas Mekas, Village 
 Voice) Sometime in the future, an underground revolutionary organization 
 plans the first stage of a guerrilla struggle. Part sci-fi, part thriller, 
 part study/part exposé of the politics of radicalism, and "shot with a 
 grainy, frightening immediacy, the film is....a series of vivid images of 
 what the overthrow of the American state might look like. Comrades meet 
 surreptitiously in safe houses; political education of the masses is held 
 at gunpoint on apartment rooftops; training takes place on a farm in 
 Vermont...and behind everything is the state's perverse punishment....Ice 
 is as frightening for the sensibilities that created the film as for the 
 tense, nightmarish qualities of the footage." (Thomas Brom, PFA '78)

 members unlisted. (135 mins, B&W) \n\nFilm Notes Courtesy of Pacific Film
