PSST!3 will have its World Premiere at the Flux Screening Series at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles on Feb. 25th. You can RSVP here.
From the Flux Press Release:
“Flux and the Hammer Museum present a quarterly screening series featuring innovative short films, music videos, features, filmmaker retrospectives and the most visual work from around the globe. Now in its second year, the Flux Screening Series will debut the World Premiere of PSST! 3, a collaborative new film project featuring shorts by a worldwide network of designers, directors, animators, and composers. PSST! founder and curator Bran Dougherty-Johnson will be in attendance to present the films. The evening will also include the Premiere of two N.A.S.A. videos from its highly-anticipated new release The Spirit of Apollo: “Gifted” featuring Kayne West, Santogold and Lykke Li, directed by Three Legged Legs and “A Volta”, directed by Logan in collaboration with The Date Farmers. The NASA videos were spearheaded by filmmaker Syd Garon who will be presenting the new works along with Casey Hunt, Greg Gunn and Reza Rasoli of Three Legged Legs and Alexei Tylevich of Logan. A courtyard after-party will follow the film screenings.
PSST! 3 is a brand-new series of 17 original collaborative short films made over the last year by over 175 participants in cities worldwide, including: New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Nashville, London, Glasgow, Paris, Vilnius, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, and Copenhagen.
The films are each made in three parts, with different teams working consecutively on the beginning, middle and end. Taking the inspiration for its process from the Surrealist technique of Exquisite Corpse and the children’s game of Telephone, the PSST! films bring together diverse Artists, Directors, Designers and Animators to combine their work in an experimental format that encourages creativity and rewards the sharing and mixing of ideas. The result is a glorious, chaotic mix of film-making and animation styles. Notable directors include Orion Tait, Creative Director of Buck; the late Gideon Baws and Chris Harding of Shynola; Lorenzo Fonda, director of Megunica; and Cole Gerst, winner of the Sundance’s 2007 Greenimation competition. Following its Los Angeles premiere, PSST! 3 will screen in New York, London, Atlanta, Seattle and Berlin.”
