Andy Ditzler of frequentsmallmeals (& ACP’s resident film series curator) put together an incredible program that complimented the under-the-train-tracks location behind Davis Waldron Gallery.

Gordon Matta-Clark’s film “Splitting” seemed perfect for the location (where three train lines converge and split-off), as did Manfred Kirchheimer’s “Stations of the Elevated”, with a score by Charles Mingus. And local artist Blake Williams contributed a world premiere. What a great night!

An incredible night of experimental film last night at eyedrum in ATL, curated by Andy Ditzler, who has amazingly crafted two evenings of film dedicated to the still image for ACP 9.

Last night’s highlights included Jonas Mekas’ “Cassis”, two great films from Gary Beydler, two reels of one-minute bouquets from Rose Lowder, and one of the most amazing films I’ve ever seen – the sixteen-minute Pièce Touchée, from Martin Arnold.

More to come, this Saturday night.
