Rock ‘n’ Roll Short Film Rarities | Mission

Submitted by the Event Organizer

These guys dig up rare or forgotten movies, often shorts and share them with audiences in their cozy screening room.

This time, guest curator Pete Gowdy and Oddball Films present: “Reel Rock ‘n’ Roll: Rockin’ Rarities on Film” an evening of rare 1960s and 1970s rock, British Invasion, psych and a prog performance on film.

NOW SHOWING:

• John Byner’s wild, anarchic, 1970 “Something Else” TV program (featuring full performances by CCR, 3 Dog Night, Mephistopheles, Frijid Pink, Roberta Flack and more)
• “The Beatles Come To Town”, a stunning wide-screen rarity from 1963 ”New York City, a campy travel promo film featuring garage rockers The Churls
• “Black Sabbath Parade”, SF throws a tranny parade for Ozzy and the boys
• “The Monkees”, out-takes from the TV show
• “The Dave Clark 5”, another great promo from Britain
• “Condensed Cream of Beatles”, a wild, high speed montage of the Fab’s carreer
• plus Elvin Jones and The James Gang from the 1971 psychedelic western “Zachariah”
• amateur footage of The Jefferson Airplane

JUST SO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS: Most of these films are quite scarce, despite scads of accolades and international awards.
