PLUS GALLERY TO HOST "INTO THE AVANT-GARDE: LANDSCAPES" FILM PROGRAM NOVEMBER 11th


Win Wear teams up with Plus Gallery on November 11th to host their third film showcase -- Into the Avant-Garde: Landscapes - an evening of experimental cinema.  The screening is dedicated to the poetic exploration of landscapes within Avant-Garde cinema and the work of its most honored artists including Ken Jacobs, Helen Levitt, Len Lye, and Nathaniel Dorsky. The 8 short films, that span from the birth of cinema to the present, will offer a range of methods and techniques including sublime documentation, rotoscoped animation, hand painted abstraction, and vivid 3-D.

The program has been curated by local experimental filmmaker Rett Rogers with the help of Jacob Barreras (Head Projectionist for the Film Studies Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder) who will exhibit all films in stunning 16mm (!)  In addition to the films, home made morsels will be served, as well as thoughtful cocktails and a seasonal Great Divide brew.

Join us for an ethereal evening designed towards sensorial exploration, unprecedented creativity, and ultimately transcendence next week on November 11th, doors open at 8pm.  A suggested donation of $10 is in place for the event.

Seating will be limited, for reservations and more information contact Rett Rogers at SirStarrett@gmail.com or call 303.887.5157.

Win Wear is a small collective of Denver-based artists and musicians committed to the creation and promotion of honest artistic expression, along with the preservation and exhibition of the work which inspires it.
