Mon, 25 September 2006  Stephen Parr, Director of Oddball Film+Video in San Francisco, CA, was in Pittsburgh on Friday, September 26, 2006 to exhibit The Subject is Sex 2 - "the second volume in his extraordinary personal romp through the seamy side of Sex in Cinema" as laughingsquid.com put it. He screened his compilation of "bizarre medical films, burlesque bits, sexy cigarette ads, peepshow loops, unintentionally erotic & hilarious commercials and campy movie trailers" at Jefferson Presents, the monthly experimental film series run by Dreaming Ant members Adam Abrams and Gordon Nelson. If you've never been to a Jefferson Presents screening, shame on you. The following evening, Parr exhibited another new show Oddities Beyond Belief - "a surreal and sublime look at a world gone wrong" (anthologyfilmarchives.org) - at a friend's house in uptown. But before Parr could escape da 'Burgh, his friend, fellow archivist-filmmaker, Warhol Museum's projectionist, Dreaming Ant member, and all-around badass Greg Pierce brought him by the store on Sunday to check out our humble little antfarm. Thanks Greg! Please check out some of Stephen's work; it's quite amusing! We have the following Oddball Film+Video DVDs available to rent at Dreaming Ant: The Subject is Sex, The Subject is Sex 2, Psychoactive, and Oddities Beyond Belief.

Thu, 21 September 2006 Please vote for Dreaming Ant in Pittsburgh City Paper's 13th Annual Best of Pittsburgh Readers' Poll 2006! You can either submit a ballot found in a recent issue of CP, or you can submit electronically by completing their online form. Now, unfortunately, CP curiously eliminated our category - Best Video/DVD Rental Store - two years ago. And while I feel conflicted in asking each of you to support what is little more than a glorified advertising lead generator, the reality is that we could use the free promotion. And graciously, one of our stalwart members (Thanks, Megan!) suggested we coordinate our efforts by asking people to enter Dreaming Ant in both of the following two categories, giving us two opportunities to beat the odds. "Best retail customer service" GOODS & SERVICES "Best Name Your Own Category" found at the bottom of the survey, should be filled in with "Best DVD/Video Rental Store" along with "Dreaming Ant" as the Winner And please hurry. The survey deadline for all ballots entries is Friday, September 29, 2006 at 5 p.m. As always, thanks for supporting Dreaming Ant! dB Category: News -- posted at: 5:35 PM Comments[0] |
