DESCRIPTION:Liberated Lens Film Collective presents an evening with award-winning 
 filmmaker Craig Baldwin.\n\nCraig Baldwin is an experimental filmmaker who 
 uses found-footage from the fringes of popular consciousness as well as 
 images from the mass media to undermine and transform the traditional 
 documentary, infusing it with the energy of high-speed montage and a 
 provocative commentary that targets subjects from intellectual property 
 rights to rampant consumerism.\n\nWe will showcase three of his shorter 
 films:\n\n“Wild Gunman” (1978, 20 mins) - A manic montage of 
 pop-cultural amusements, cowboy iconography and advertising imagery is 
 re-contextualized within the contemporary geopolitical crisis in a scathing 
 critique of US cultural and political 
 imperialism.\n\n“RocketKitCongoKit” (1968, 30 mins) - A barrage of 
 found-footage images and rapid-fire narration traces a history of Zaire 
 since its independence in 1960. The CIA, German munitions manufacturers, 
 and American pop culture are all indicted in this comic critique of 
 neocolonialism.\n\n“Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America” 
 (1991, 48 mins) - This “pseudo-pseudo documentary” is a skewed history 
 of US intervention in Latin America and a hysterical satire of conspiracy 
 theory.\n\nDirector will be present for Q&A. \n\nSeptember 10th at the Omni 
 Commons, 4799 Shattuck Ave. Doors at 7, screening at 7:30. $5 
 n.o.t.a.f.l.o.f., free popcorn!\n
