If you visit this blog, perhaps you'd be interested in joining Radon Lake, a space where Boston filmmakers, video artists, and animators can announce news and screenings, share resources and ideas. You can browse the front and calendar sections anonymously, but in order to interact with others you have to create an account. It's very easy, and you will not receive any regular emails unless you so specify in your profile.
Announcements of the Loring-Greenough Film screenings, which are on summer break, will be moving to Radon Lake in September.

Doors open at 7, show starts around 7:30. See you there!
Rob Todd -- GROUNDPLAY
2009, 12 minutes, 16mm
In Groundplay, Robert Todd uses his 16mm camera as a microscope, nosing about in a world on a different scale. The sensitive instrument does not perceive objects, but dives into the empty spaces between them. The focus shifts to a new world filled with structures, grit and dust barely perceptible to the naked eye.
(from Rotterdam)
Kyle Glowacky -- IOKA
2010, 20 minutes, 16mm
IOKA is a portrait of Exeter, New Hampshire's historic 1915 movie house. It recently closed down in 2008 due to the strict state fire codes and the need for upgrades, economic recession and lack of patronage.
Ethan Feldbau -- PLASTIC
2008, 18 minutes, 16mm
The poetic fable of a neglected special education student, who spends his adolescence reshaping himself to be more like the bullies of his youth.
Mariya Nikiforova -- WARD'S POND
2009, 10 minutes, 16mm
In the spirit of Robert Smithson and James Benning, 'Ward's Pond' is a film-poem dedicated to a location in Jamaica Plain, MA. A glacial kettle hole that belonged to the Ward family farm in the 1600s, the pond and its surroundings were transformed into a park by Frederick Law Olmsted at the turn of the twentieth century. Today, overshadowed by a high-rise apartment building, Ward's Pond continues its quiet existence. The film captures several moments over the course of nearly a year in its life.
Stefan Grabowski -- JOHNNY KILRAPER and the ARBITER of SILENCE
2009, 20 minutes, shot on 16mm and projected on video
Existentially lost, alcoholic ex-detective, Johnny Kilraper, must overcome his own self-loathing in order to stop international crime lord Klaus 'the Grouse' Richter from receiving a mystical jewel known as 'the Arbiter of Silence.'
Doors open at 7, show starts around 7:30. See you there!

For our seventh (!!!) screening we are happy to present the films of Roslindale-based filmmaker Paul Turano and his former student at Emerson, Matt McWilliams. Join us for drinks and snacks around 7 pm; screening begins at 7:30. If you can, please support our venue with a $4 donation.
Paul Turano has independently produced numerous award-wining experimental films and videos over the last 15+ years. His work has been exhibited nationally and abroad at museums, micro-cinemas, alternative venues, colleges and universities and has been shown at festivals throughout North America including the Black Maria, Athens International, Hartford International, FLEX FEST Florida Experimental, and the New England Film and Video festivals. His recent digital video "I Covered My Eyes" screened this past summer at the Globians World and Culture Documentary Film Festival in Berlin, Germany and in Australia at the Sydney Underground Film Festival. Based in Boston, his films have been shown at the Harvard Film Archive, the Coolidge Corner Theater, the Embassy Theater, and the Museum of Fine Arts. He is the recipient of a Media Fellowship from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and a Moving Image Fund Grant from the LEF Foundation and has been an Artist-in-Residence at Emerson College since the fall of 2007. www.paulturano.com

Porch Film: 76 Day St. Apt. #2, 16mm, color, sound, 18 min, 2004
Edited in 2003 from footage shot in the summer and fall 2001, Porch Film: 76 Day St. Apt #2 is part of a series of autobiographical films that examine the role of mediated experience and the influence and integration of the public and private spheres in the construction of an individual’s identity and memory. This domestic portrait of a summer and early fall on a back porch is emotionally tempered by a medley of music creating a kind of narrative arc over the transitions of a romantic relationship and the passing seasons.
Windows onto Montebello Road, 16mm, color, sound, 21 min, 2009
Edited from footage shot in 1998, Windows onto Montebello Rd. uses a poetic approach towards personal domestic space, searching for calm and serene moments of contemplation. The sounds of the public sphere, represented by contemporaneous radio news broadcasts, provide an auditory counterpoint.
