Mindbenders

Running time: N/A

The ever popular Mindbenders series returns once again with a variety of films to push the limits of your imagination and warp the corners of your brain.Anna Negri's ALL AT SEA is the surreal tale of Laura, who lives on a bed in the middle of the sea. She went there to escape her superstitions, but on one sunny Friday the 13th, they all come back. Anita McGee's OUT ON A LIMB is a film centered around the whimsical poem of the same name. The film celebrates the triumph over physical disability and explores the limb-lessness of the imagination. The orgasm has been called "the little death." Gi Young Rhee's THE TEN SECOND EMPIRE is a fascinating film which explores that fleeting euphoric moment where birth meets death, at the center of which is woman. Cory McAbee's THE KETCHUP AND MUSTARD MAN is one of the films from the psychotic mixed-media revue called "The Billy Nayer Chronicles."This stream of consciousness musical plays like a scene inside of an insane composer's head. A mixture of live action, animation and impressive special effects; David Anderson's IN THE TIME OF ANGELS tells the story of an alchemist and her search for a way to go back to the past and change the mistakes she has made that hang frozen and fixed in time. Mark Osbourne's GREENER is an animated portrait of two creatures trapped in a smothering, mechanized world of their own creation.One maintains the machines obediently, while the other seeks to find out what lays beyond their little world. In Paul Rachman's DRIVE BABY DRIVE, two couples are in for the ride of their lives when flirtation becomes betrayal, and obsession turns into a high-speed tale of fiery retribution. Manuel Toledano's SOLEDAD...SOLEDAD! is a tale of six New York City apartment dwellers, all alone, but all aware of each other. Their connections to one another create a world where one character's imagination becomes another's reality. --Matt Aquino
