Der Bunker (2015)
dir. Nikias Chryssos

GARDEN CINEMA: BELLADONNA OF SADNESS
Belladonna of Sadness (1973)
dir. Eiichi Yamamoto
running time: 1h 26m
japanese w/ eng subs
A hallucinatory swirl of acid-trip water-color animation, this X-rated Japanese cult classic unfolds in medieval France, where Jeanne, a young bride-to-be, is raped by a feudal lord on her wedding night. In return, Jeanne makes a deal with the devil, granting her the powers of witchcraft and setting her on a path of vengeance. Writhing with erotically charged, violent, and deliriously surreal imagery, BELLADONNA OF SADNESS stands as one of the great mind-bending masterpieces of 1970s psychedelic cinema.

MIDWIFE
https://midwifemusic.com/album/luminol
Midwife is the moniker of multi-instrumentalist Madeline Johnston. She lives and works in San Miguel, New Mexico by way of Denver, Colorado, where she spent the better half of the past decade developing her experimental pop project. As a self taught guitarist and recording engineer, Midwife explores dark subject matter in her anthemic, soft-gaze hits. Self-described as “Heaven Metal,” or emotive music about devastation.
AMULETS
https://amulets.bandcamp.com/
The prolific, Portland-based Randall Taylor is an audio/visual artist best known for his musical project, Amulets. Taylor’s work uses analog tape and its imperfections to explore themes like degradation and nostalgia and their relationship to technology and to the self. By constructing and modifying tape loops and repurposing antiquated cassette players, Taylor creates dense, never-ending, looping soundscapes for both his live performances and sculptural sound art installations.
opening act:
SYSTEMS - ambient tape loop project from our boy Harrison

BCMC | Cooper Crain and Bill MacKay
With BCMC, Cooper Crain (of Bitchin' Bajas) and Bill MacKay unite to create provocative epilogues, warm avant-garde noir, and fiery over-driven jams to recall life’s sunnier and stranger days. Crain's organ and synths & MacKay’s guitar mix as they draw their songs from elegiac themes & spontaneous statements. Each takes the lead or provides the backdrop depending on where they are going at any given time. Though often they simply melt forward sonically in a singular & exuberantly undulating movement.
