Check out more info on this great looking new indie after the Jump!! PROVOCATEUR PICTURES RELEASES EXPERIMENTS IN TERROR 3 (Los Angeles, CA) Provocateur Pictures proudly announces the upcoming DVD release of EXPERIMENTS IN TERROR 3. Originally a touring exhibition that screened in over fifty galleries, festivals, and museums in the U.S. and Europe since 2002, the EXPERIMENTS IN TERROR series has been a showcase for avant-garde and underground films that borrow motifs and footage from the horror genre. EXPERIMENTS IN TERROR 3 is the third DVD program that explores the convergence of alternative cinema with good old-fashioned bloodletting. Films include: Mike Kuchar "Born of the Wind" 8mm | 1961 | 24 mins. "A tender and realistic story of a scientist who falls in love with a mummy he has restored to life... 2,000 years as a mummy couldn't quench her thirst for love!" -George Kuchar. Starring Donna Kerness, Bob Cowan, Janice Jones. Marie Losier & Guy Maddin "Manuelle Labor" 16mm | 2007 | 10 mins. Two sisters, five brothers, a doctor and two nurses and the miraculous birth of a pair of hands..but whose hands are they? "Marie, that shot of the hands coming out o' your womb is a dilly!!! What an honour to be born of you! your son, Guy." - Guy Maddin J.X. Williams "Satan Claus" 16mm | 1975 | 3 mins. "In the mid-Seventies, I was working as a projectionist for this crummy movie theatre in downtown LA. The owner owed me six weeks back wages and when I ask him for the money, the scumbag has the gall to inform me that I'm getting laid off Christmas week. If he'd known my reputation for mischief, he might have thought twice about it. On my last day of work, I had to project a Christmas matinee for kids. Before the main feature, I added an unannounced opener to the program called "Satan Claus". I fled the theatre right after my film ended but I heard the owner had to refund the entire box office. Even then, several outraged parents filed a lawsuit against the theatre. Merry Christmas, you cheap bastard!" - - J.X. Williams Ben Rivers "Terror!" Beta SP | 2007 | 24 mins. "A love letter to the genre which got me into film in the first place-these films in particular, which I saw when I was about 10-12, due to a dodgy video shop owner in my village who seemed to enjoy pushing these films onto our young minds. His shop, by the way, was in the basement of the Methodist church-I don't think they had any idea what was coming out of their cellar." - B. Rivers Carey Burtt "The Psychotic Odyssey of Richard Chase" 16mm | 1999 | 6 mins. Using mainly dolls like Todd Haynes' Superstar, Burtt's film dramatizes the true story of "The Vampire of Sacramento," cannibal-killer Richard Chase, from his childhood, through his mental deterioration, to his ghastly crime spree, trial and death. "Explores the nether regions of the psyche as manifested via the darkest forms of paranoia, psychosis, and insanity.” – Jack Sargeant Jason Bognacki “Loma Lynda: The Red Door” (Excerpt) A blood-drenched psychological mystery through the distorted gaze of Lynda and her fantasy self, Loma - heroines who both try to redeem Lynda from a tragic past. Described as a modern 'Giallo' – the film takes the viewer through a dark and visually striking journey set in the streets of Hollywood and in the bent mind of its heroine(s). Clifton Childree "It Gets Worse" 16mm | 2008 | 32 mins. In this nightmarish slapstick silent, an old sea captain is troubled by a cursed coffin-shaped nickel arcade game that changes his appearance and personality, transforming him into the Mr. Hyde alter ego of his character. Curated by Noel Lawrence 99 minutes Price: $24.95 For more information or to arrange interviews with curator Noel Lawrence, please call 415-290-0401 or e-mail
