Films About Nothing
Spectacular films about un-spectacular events! Connie and Bonnie show presents short punk rock/urban videos about life and nothing at all. The mundane is fun! It is everywhere! It is free! These small little short videos prove that the small little things, "the everyday," is funny, important, political, and worth some investigation.
Connie and Bonnie shorts (by Kristen Anchor and Rahne Alexander) include santa porno, dada poetry, bush love and Bush hate, teenage lesbian vegetarian zombies and the most over-used lines in Hollywood. Alexander and Anchor make videos about pop culture using pop culture -- appropriated images, found sound, animated objects, and live action playing off film and television tropes.
Plus more videos from Baltimore’s underground indie film scene: Bryan Robinson's short 100 Degrees is a short performance, at first glance seems like just mugging for the camera, but on second consideration, is a complicated dissection of city stoop/street culture and the huckster tradition. Mark Stansberry's teenage ghetto grrrl anti-hero Puddin' can't stay outta trouble. Nikc Miller's surreal Robo-Tussin is a cough syrup abuse cautionary tale. Eric Dyer's Kinetic Sandwich magnifies and dissects the everyday lunch meat sandwich with rhythm and grace not often attributed to lunch meat worship. Phil Davis brings an exquisite corpse of technology and styles celebrating animal behavior. Experiments range from hand-drawn to 3D animation, to scratching on film and Quicktime VR.
Kristen Anchor is a Baltimore media artist and musician. Anchor is Director of the Creative Alliance MovieMakers at the Creative Alliance, a grass roots nonprofit venue in Baltimore, where she develops and produces film/video programs, workshops and screenings. Her films have screened all over the U.S. and are included in several compilation DVDs. Anchor is also a founding member of the Charm City Kitty Club, a group of women who put on quarterly queer cabaret of that name (named Best Queer Event, Balt. City Paper, 2003; 2004 Curve Magazine Lesbian Theatre Award). She's the drummer for The Degenerettes, Baltimore's underground garage rock sensation.
