If all the references to sex in 'Strangelove' -- and, you know, the apocalypse -- are no trouble, you could show just about anything... I'm not sure '12 and up' is what we think about as initially as 'kids'. We're basically talking 'tweens' and 'teens', who are hardly all that innocent of violence and sexuality, at least within certain bounds of graphic representation. I mean, this age group reads 'The Hunger Games' and the books are much more gory the movies. And they all know what 'twerking' is... Anyway, a lot of stuff I thought of last night has been mentioned already. I'll just drop a few more, keeping in mind the note above '12 and over' A Study In Choroegraphy For The Camera - Maya Deren La Jetee - Chris Marker Un Cien Andalou Bridges Go Round - Shirley Clark New Improved Institutional Quality - Owen Land (an adult infantilized by an authoritarian test...) I'd add Harry Smith, Larry Jordan and maybe Lewis Klahr to the experimental animation recs. Various Bruce Conner films could work; Report, Mea Culpa, Take the 5:10 to Dreamland Non-hollywood-multiplex features that might work with that age group: Being John Malkovich C.S.A. - Kevin Wilmott City of Lost Children Ghost World Playtime River's Edge If you're really adventurous, you could show a couple Beavis and Butthead shorts, and follow that with Werner Herzog's 'Even Dwarves Started Small' "Fire, Fire!" "Feste, Feste!" "Heh, heh" "Ahhahahahah!" There are any number of experimental/experimentalish music videos from the early MTV days (and before). just a few off the top of my head: How Soon Is Now - Smiths Beautiful World, Through Being Cool - Devo Jack the Ripper - Raybeats Third Reich and Roll, Minute Movies, Hello Skinny etc. - The Residents Wondering - Neil Young Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads Modern Industry - Fishbone Life in One Day - Howard Jones > > thanks! > > > _______________________________________________ > FrameWorks mailing list > [email protected] > https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
