About Reels on Wheel 5: Screening California
In part two of its Whose/Who's California
series, NewTown continues its exploration of California
artists' perceptions of the home state with Reels on Wheels
5: Screening California. NewTown takes yet another step
towards fulfilling one of its major goals; demystifying
current, often experimental arts by placing them in a friendly
and fun context.
NewTown provides the popcorn. Bring your own pizza (cold
or warm), freeze-dried root beer floats, significant other(s)
and even the kids for an evening of experimental media
in the comfort of your very own car. Just cruise on in,
pop your top (convertible that is), open your eyes and
that year old package of Gummi Bears, turn on your car’s
FM and enjoy an evening at the drive-in. Tasteful romance
encouraged but not provided.
The films range from satirical looks at the often stormy
relationship between Greater Los Angeles and San Francisco
to re-examinations of our landscape, portraits of eminent
SoCal artists, the feasibility of relationships in Lalaland
and much more.
