Shapeshifters Cinema: Experimental Film & Music | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

For this special Valentine’s Day performance, Anne and Jon will entertain you by working out their personal problems in song, so that you can relax and forget about your own. In order for this to work, they both understand that their personal problems are going to have to be so hideously unpleasant and unbearable as to dwarf those of any one individual in the audience, and in that in the currently healthy climate of social justice activism, to even consciously attempt this feat is an act of unforgivable emotional violence. But that, in short, is how much these two people care about you, and they plan on a public display of that love on this, the loneliest of all lonely days. When Anne was quoted as saying “I want this to be my best show ever”, there will be only one physical way to learn exactly what she meant by that. Since the late eighties, Anne McGuirehas been making films, and Wobbly (Jon Leidecker) has been making electronic music. Together, Anne and Jon form the duo more widely known as the Freddy McGuire Show. Anne and Wobbly first worked together on Don Joyce’s Over The Edge Radio Show in 1999. That show can be heard here: http://www.detritus.net/wobbly/mp3s/FreddyMcGuire/. The show will include 3D visuals by Bill Thibault.
