    ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES OCTOBER – DECEMBER PRESS LISTINGS OCTOBER 2013 PRESS LISTINGS MIX NYC PRESENTS: Tommy Goetz A BRIDE FOR BRENDA 1969, 62 min, 35mm MIX NYC, the producer of the NY Queer Experimental Film Festival, presents a special screening of sexploitation oddity A BRIDE FOR BRENDA, a lesbian-themed grindhouse cheapie set against the now-tantalizing backdrop of late-60s Manhattan. Shot in Central Park, Times Square, the Village, and elsewhere, A BRIDE FOR BRENDA narrates (quite literally – the story is told via female-voiced omniscient narration rather than dialogue) the experiences of NYC-neophyte Brenda as she moves into an apartment with Millie and Jane. These apparently unremarkable roommates soon prove themselves to be flesh-hungry lesbians, spying on Brenda as she undresses, attempting to seduce her, and making her forget all about her paramour Nick (and his partners in masculinity). As the narrator intones, “Once a young girl has been loved by a lesbian, it’s difficult to feel satisfaction from a man again.” –Thurs, Oct 3 at 7:30. TAYLOR MEAD MEMORIAL SCREENING Who didn’t love Taylor Mead? Irrepressible and irreverent, made of silly putty yet always sharp- witted, he was an underground icon in the Lower East Side and around the world. While THE FLOWER THIEF put him on the map, and Andy Warhol lifted him to Superstardom, Taylor truly made his mark in the incredibly vast array of films and videos he made with notables and nobodies alike. A poster child of the beat era, Mead was a scene-stealer who was equally vibrant on screen, on stage, or in a café reading his hilarious, aphoristic poetry.

  • Morganfisherart.Com Morgan-Fisher.Com
    M O R G A N F I S H E R Biography Born in London, England, 1st January 1950. Upon leaving high school, Morgan immediately began an active and ongoing international life as a musician. Artists he has played keyboards with include The Love Affair (#1 hit in 1968), Mott the Hoople (produced by David Bowie), Yoko Ono, Queen, and mem- bers of R.E.M and Y.M.O. These days he may be called upon to compose stylish TV and film music, create meditation music in a Zen temple, or jam with classic rock and blues bands. He has even played samba in Brazil and world music in China. All his life he has pursued photography as an art, as well as documenting his musical life using still and movie cameras. Since mov- ing to Japan in 1985 he has specialised in and refined his own style of abstract photography, a kind of visual music, or “light paint- ing” involving spontaneous, free movement of the camera and/or the light source. He utilises the finest digital equipment to cre- ate his images, which display a depth and subtlety more akin to painting than photography. Equally close to his creative heart are his solo live performances, improvised on a variety of rare vintage and modern keyboards while projecting his light paintings; they are a true synthesis of sound+light - unpredictable, uplifting, and inspiring.

Nevertheless, their nasty fusion of heavy metal, glam rock, Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography Bob Dylan 's sneering hipster cynicism provided the groundwork for many British punk bands, most notably the Clash. However, their lack of success meant that they inevitably splintered apart in the '70s, with Ralphs forming Bad Company and Hunter launching a cult solo career. Early inthe band added vocalist Stan Tippens and landed a record contract with Island Atlantic in the U. By the summer, Tippens was fired, later becoming the band's road manager, and was replaced by Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter: All the Young Dudes - The Biography Hunter. Their eponymous debut album was released in the fall of and became an underground hit, known for its fusion of Blonde on Blonde -era Dylan and heavy metal, its straight cover of Sonny Bono 's "Laugh at Me," and its pounding instrumental version of the Kinks ' "You Really Got Me. Despite all of the attention Mott the Hoople received, it didn't sell well and neither did its poorly reviewed follow-up, Mad Shadows. The band returned in with the country-tinged Wildlifewhich was its least popular record to date.

  • Mott the Hoople "Under Review" MVD Visual by Jonathan Mariante
    Mott The Hoople "Under Review" MVD Visual by Jonathan Mariante This is an unauthorized profile of the band. It features many people who were involved with Mott The Hoople in many different ways, or influenced by them. Included are several musicians (like the Clash's Mick Jones), journalists, and industry insiders, who tell the story of the band, album by album. Mott started off as Silence, then hooked up with producer/manager Guy Stevens and hired frontman Ian Hunter. These were major turning points in the band's career, and what really got the band going. After changing their name (which they got from a novel) they began recording albums and playing live. Although they developed a strong cult following on the live circuit (one critic calling them the most exciting live band in Britain at the time), their albums sold poorly, and they couldn't make a breakthrough. They were ready to call it a day when they met David Bowie, who offered to lend them his producing and songwriting talents. At first he offered them the song "Suffragette City", which they turned down (and Bowie later made into a hit of his own). Then Bowie suggested the song "All The Young Dudes". The rest, as they say, is history. This song gave Mott the breakthrough hit they needed, and became their most famous song, and their claim to fame. The band continued recording and touring into the 70s, scoring more hits, but this finally took its toll on Ian Hunter and he quit the band. While he started a solo career, the band continued on in various forms until they too eventually called it quits.
