CinemaBomar free summer film series starts June 17
CinemaBomar will be hosting monthly showings of 16mm industrial, educational and ephemeral films 8:30 - 10:00 every third Tuesday at Domy, 1709 Westheimer.
Admission is FREE.
The first show is June 17 with the following program:
Nimbus Prototype Test, GE Pre-1964 Silent 5 min : Some sort of vibration test, followed by men working on satellite prototype.
Telezonia, AT&T 1974 25 min : Wonderfully goofy telephone company psychedelic extravaganza purporting to teach small children how to properly use the telephone. Androgynous "Telly" takes children to Telezonia, where perky children's-theater types dressed as letters and numbers teach them how to dial through song and dance numbers building to a dramatic climax.
Space Station Environment and Mission Simulation, G.E., date unknown 6 min : An early mockup of the space station and the men living inside it undergoing physiological testing. Missing end.
En Face, Filmow Oswiatowych, Lodz, Poland, 1960s 7 min: The last time we shows this the sound went out, so let's try again. Psychedelic collage animation of overlaid clip art images with mid century art music.
1999, Philco-Ford 1987 25 min : Produced for the 1967 worlds fair, shows just how great life is going to be in the (strangely depopulated) future. What's next? You never know, you never really know.
