Shapeshifters Cinema: Experimental Film & Music | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Tommy Becker returns to Shapeshifters to present new works from his never-ending saga, “Tape Number One”. TNO is a mix video tape that embraces the deconstruction of song structure to create an expanded, conceptual story-telling that blends the artist’s poetics, songwriting, performance and costuming with found footage and computer design. Live vocals and instrumentation lead melodic soundtracks that articulate a visual swirling of tragic comedy. Short works balance meaning with emotion and documentation with design. For this show Becker will be premiering a new work, “Stars White in a Blue Field”, a work that contemplates patriotic values in our current political quagmire along with his recent trilogy, “FLOWER SHOP (protection, fear & escape)” and more.
