Basement VHS Fest is this Sunday, Aug 30 @4startheater and @mitsuokubo and I are absolutely ecstatic to present these 3 films on VHS:

Phenomena (Creepers) - 2:30pm
Death Spa - 5:15pm
The Boxer's Omen - 7:30pm

To celebrate this glorious day, we've made these 4-color Risograph prints for the first 50 people that show up to each film. Did I mention that there will be local vendors slanging tapes, discs and other movie-related memorabilia? And @davidbayus @mitsuokubo and myself made shirts for each film?

David Bayus uses digital media to explore the connections between spirituality, technology, and ecological crisis. In his short film 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘠𝘰𝘶, 𝘚𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘺, Bayus imagines a post-human environment emerging from the destruction caused by climate change. As discarded synthetic fibers, microplastics, and lost objects circulate in the oceans, they intertwine and transform into a new life form. Throughout five acts, Bayus' creature emerges, interacts with the natural world, experiences disappointment, and finds new meaning through the act of making.

Storytelling has long been a way for people to make sense of the world and find a sense of agency in the face of significant adversity.

Some artists in the exhibition draw inspiration from specific sources such as science fiction, oral traditions, and mythologies, while others craft intricate narratives inspired by real-world histories. Collectively, the artists in 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 explore the potential of fictional storytelling to reimagine and reclaim historical and contemporary oppressions, paving the way for bold new futures.

𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 is the first of 𝘎𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺!, a multi-year series of exhibitions that explores the power and pitfalls of escapism as a reaction to the question, “What do we do in response to our current crises?”
