THREE ON SUNDAY

'Friends,

After a month pause, video screenings resume this Sunday, July 18th at Dan's in Denton.

Starts at 10:30PM and it is free.

We will be looking at a vintage tour of a UFO cult's California headquarters, a string quartet playing in four different airborne helicopters, and early video work by industrial/electronic music pioneers Cabaret Voltaire.

Come out and say hello.

Love,

Martin'


PICTORIAL TOUR OF UNARIUS
Unarius Academy of Science, 1987 (58 min.)

Founded in 1954 by Ernest and Ruth Norman, UNARIUS is one of the most colorful and long-lasting UFO spiritual groups in California. Known for the outrageous dress (and claims) of the organization’s late leader Archangel Uriel (Ruth Norman), students of UNARIUS continue to wait for the coming of the “space brothers” from their headquarters in El Cajon, California. The group produced this video tour in the mid 1980s as an attempt to recruit new members, explain their unusual philosophy, and give the curious a behind-the-scenes look at the organization.


KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN - HELICOPTER STRING QUARTET
Frank Scheffer, 1995 (77 min.)

“Karlheinz Stockhausen's Helikopter-Streichquartett is one of the most controversial and talked-about works of art in recent years. Premiering at the 1995 Holland Festival, it involved the members of a string quartet playing in four different helicopters flying through the air. The music the quartet plays is then sent to a central space and mixed at a soundboard. This film documents the complex preparations in the month leading up to the premiere of this work, as well as eliciting insights from the composer regarding how he conceived and executed it.”
