White Light Cinema Presents
 
Gate Shock: New and Rare Films by Luther Price
 
With Luther Price in Person!
 
 
Saturday, September 17, 2011 ­ 7:00pm
 
The Nightingale (1084 N. Milwaukee Ave.)
Chicago, IL
 
 
White Light Cinema is pleased to present the second program (we must like
him!) of work by acclaimed experimental filmmaker Luther Price this year ­
this time with Price in person, to introduce and discuss his work.
 
For more than twenty-five years, Boston-area filmmaker has been creating a
raw and visceral body of work that challenges, infuriates, shocks,
fascinates, and, sometimes, soothes viewers who have think they¹ve seen it
all.  
 
His is a gritty cinema: initially made in the intimate Super-8 format and
now mostly in 16mm. It is a handcrafted cinema, with dozens of splices
(which seem to want to fly apart at any moment), decayed and distressed
footage (buried in the ground), and hand-painted frames (which shed a fine
dust when projected).
 
His is a scrappy cinema, which is mostly composed from found science,
educational, porn, and other orphan films.  Images are cobbled together
between generous sections of leader and sound slug.
 
His is a fuck-you cinema, which plunges head first into uncomfortable sexual
imagery, discomforting medical footage, heartbreaking tales of loneliness
and isolation, and a disdain for social mores.
 
His is also a deeply moving, intimate, revelatory, soul-searching, and
profound cinema, that often passes through the darkest dark to find some
light, however faint.
 
It is a cinema of catharsis.
