Text and Photos By Lee Christian A funny thing happened on the way to the Egyptian Theatre for Norwood Cheek. It occurred to him that the number of seconds in an hour precisely equals the number of film frames in a fifty foot reel of Super 8mm film...

Egyptian Theatre Some behind the scenes photos and shots of the Astor theater where the film opened originally in 1971! How can you look at these photos and not be dying to see the film?

Egyptian Theatre
The Attack of the 50-Foot Reels returned on October 22 for its ninth annual challenge to 20 filmmakers to shoot a film with one 50-foot cartridge of Super-8 film. The filmmakers in attendance introduced their short films, which represent the raw potential and grainy magic that can only be achieved with limitations, in-camera editing, 30-year-old cameras and Super-8 film.

GONE WITH THE WIND, 1939, Warner Bros., 222 min. Dir. Victor Fleming. Southern vixen Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) only has eyes for sensitive Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard) - but wise-cracking hellraiser Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) is determined to win her heart, even if that means surviving the burning of Atlanta, the... destruction of Scarlett's beloved Tara and the overthrow of the Old South itself.

[Spielberg Theatre] Co-presented by FilmForum: Los Angeles Premiere! THE BQE, 2009, Microcinema, 43 min. Dir. Sufjan Stevens. THE BQE is a cinematic suite inspired by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Hula Hoop. First and foremost, THE BQE is a self-made home-movie documentation, exhibiting how all the architectur...al colors of Brooklyn and Queens are fabulously intersected by this ramshackle traffic artery. The 16mm cinematography (heroically shot by Reuben Kleiner on a 1960s Bolex) utilizes time-lapse photography, in-camera editing, slow motion and post-production mirror effects to transform urban blight into a splendor of graphic compositions. Plus an original score by the director, who also is a beloved figure in the alternative, independent music scene.
A panel will follow with some of L.A.’s experts on urban planning & architecture and a short program of NY-related shorts to follow after the panel. Please check our website for these additions to this delightful piece of ear and eye candy!
