A event held at Sidney & Eden on Tuesday 3rd February. The event starts at 19:00.
Coming up next at the Indie Classics Film Club will be the outrageously meta experimental documentary film SYMBIOPYSCHOTAXIPLASM: TAKE ONE, screening 19:00 on Tuesday 3rd February in the downstairs room of the Sidney and Eden pub.
From the visionary, mischievous mind of director William Greaves, the film is on one level a documentary about the audition and rehearsal process of making a film about a couple having an argument one day in Central Park, New York, during 1968. But there is also another film crew employed to make a documentary about that documentary, and yet another instructed to shoot anything they perceive as interesting.
Needless to say things get confusing (almost as confusing as it is to pronounce the film’s title), and even the cast and crews themselves don’t seem to know what’s going on. But, despite playfully feigning his own ignorance, Grieves does, and this ingenuous, unique film is at once an evocative time capsule of America during the counter-culture era, and a great showcase of the talents of an overlooked pioneering black filmmaker.
Entry is free, doors open at 18.30 for a start at 19.00, and all are welcome to stay for a drink afterwards to dissect just what his bizarre film is all about.
