Light Industry: Content Producer

Ah, the dog days of summer are upon us and to get us through them you’ll need a glockenspiel, Christian bloopers, furry animals and some gay porn. Witness these spectacle at Brooklyn’s Light Industry screening space run by Ed Halter and Thomas Beard. All shows start at 8:00 p.m.:
August 5
8:00 p.m.: “Content Producer presented by Cory Arcangel”
The best part of this special event isn’t that Cory Arcangel will play his entire self-composed glockenspiel accompaniment to Bruce Springsteen’s album Born to Run. The best part is that Arcangel has never performed this before in front of a live audience. So, go see how badly he screws up. There will also be a surprise video accompaniment to the performance, as well.
August 12
8:00 p.m.: “PUBLIC OPINION LABORATORY presents:”
On this night there will be two separate presentations by Andrew Lampert. The first one, All Magic Sands: Reels 1 + 2, is done in conjunction with Alan Licht where the duo will screen two reels of a found, unfinished Christian children’s adventure film, including outtakes, mistakes and retakes, in a large jumbled crazyquilt. Christian film hasn’t taken punishment like this since Kenneth Anger threw Jesus footage he found into Scorpio Rising. Then, Lampert presents his Our Dream Deferred, a solo work-in-progress that involves “moving images and lasting regrets.”
August 19
8:00 p.m.: “ANIMANIMAL/MAMMAL/MANIMAL curated by Brel Froebe and Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa”
All you need to know is this: “Expect (perhaps) live chickens, animal sounds karaoke, rock and roll, furry wrestling, and more.”
August 26
8:00 p.m.: “Two Films by Fred Halsted presented by William E. Jones”
L.A. Plays Itself, dir. Fred Halsted, was made way back in 1972 and is considered a gay porn classic in its depiction of the pretty boys of Malibu and the street hustlers of Hollywood Blvd. Preceding this reconstructed version of Halstead’s feature-length film will be Halstead’s short Sex Garage, which you can kinda figure out what that’s about from the title, but it does feature bisexual porn.
